A note on what's ahead: Ever wonder how upset a certain pink hedgehog could get? You will soon find out...

Sonic was staring at the ruined laboratory from afar. The one place he could never break into, it had been guarded more heavily than all of Eggman's ships and the G.U.N military base. How ironic that an explosion was enough to take it down. Sonic ran towards the still smoldering pile of junk, worried at what he might find. The news people were still here, but that was of no matter.

Then he saw it At first sight, it was a hedgehog, white fur that faded to a deep blue. But a closer look revealed dark blue wings on his back, bat wings. The young hedgebat had deep green eyes. Sonic had not seen him since the boy was a baby.

"Scorge!" Sonic called to him. Scorge turned around.

"Daddy?" he said cautiously. He was only about four.

"Yes, Daddy," Sonic said. He wanted to just run up and hug him, but he resisted the urge. The kid had been through a lot, and hadn't seen his father for a long time. Scorge turned to Sonic, grinning just like his father. Sonic chuckled.

The moment didn't last long, for there was a flash of green light. Standing there was a lot of Sonic's friends, including a sobbing Amy.

"Sonic, how could you?" she wailed loudly. "I thought you loved me! How could you betray me like this?" The news people began to gather around to watch, as Scorge hid behind Sonic.

"Amy, what are you talking about?" he asked, a confused look on his face.

"You know very well what I'm talking about! Beau, your girlfriend!"

"What?"

"All this time, I thought you were just being shy, but no! You probably ran off to see her!" she looked at the hedgebat, cowering behind his dad.

"And you even had a kid with her! You were just fooling me this whole time! After all I did for you...well, I don't care any more, Sonic! You and I are through!"

In her anger, she threw one of her mallets at him before running off, leaving behind a trail of tears. Sonic was on the verge of tears, as was Scorge. Blaze and Tails were trying to comfort a sobbing Cream and Cheese, Knuckles and the Shadow brothers looking completely shocked. Even Gemini had his mouth hanging open.

"Wow, I've never seen Amy so mad," Ciel said as he uncovered his ears. "Poor Miss Amy."

"We tried to explain it to her, but she wouldn't listen to us," Shadow said. "She went beserk as soon as she found out."

"And how did you find out?" Sonic said coldly, glaring at Shadow.

"We were curious, and wanted to find out, so we snuck into your room," Shadow replied guiltily. "I'll be honest with you there."

"Shadow, you son of a-" Sonic noticed Scorge, a horrified look on his face.

"I'm sorry Scorge," Sonic said. "Daddy's just a little upset right now, that's all."

"They're scary," Scorge whispered quietly, nuzzling into Sonic's fur.

"It's alright, they're friends of mine. They might look a little scary, but they would never hurt you."

"We should probably get out of here," Gemini said quickly. "I don't like the look those reporters are giving us."

"But what about Amy?" Cream sniffled, finally calming down a little.

"We'll go find her later, okay Cream?" Blaze said gently. "Right now, she needs to be alone."

"Everyone ready then?" Shadow said, once again pulling out an emerald. "Chaos Control!"

They had made it to Sonic's house.Sonic collapsed onto the couch, Scorge in his arms. Everyone was silent for a while. Shadow took a look around the place. Even before they came earlier, it was a mess. The place was certainly not ready to have anyone other than Sonic in, especially not a four year old. Cream and Tails eventually left the room, Scorge following behind.

"I met his mother before I ever knew Amy," Sonic finally said after a while. "Her name was Beau. I fell in love with her, and we had Scorge. We were planning to get married, but..." Sonic was quiet for a while, making sure the kids weren't in earshot. "Before I fought Eggman, I fought his father for a while. As a last resort to stop me, he kidnapped Beau and Scorge. He kept them there, even after he retired, and Eggman took the family business."

"So that's why you fight him," Knuckles said. "I always thought it was just because you were a hero kinda' guy, doing it for justice or whatever."

Everyone was quiet, watching the rain outside the window. Shadow was one of the few who noticed as tears fell down Sonic's face, almost as if to match the rainstorm.

C'mon, you know you wanna' say it. Aww, poor Sonic. who will Amy turn to now? Wait and watch...
