(The original chapter name was "2 Hedgehogs 1 Restroom" but because that sounds disgusting, I decided to change it to reference the later half of the chapter versus the earlier half. Basically, I always find my past self having a hard time being serious, and I guess it was just because I was immature. I was fourteen when I wrote this originally. However, the second half contains a large jump from Fall 2015 to Fall 2016, so it will get better.)
Sonic, Shadow, Honest, and Snow spilled in through the doorway after getting lunch at Sonic. (Don't judge me!). Shadow especially staggered through the front door, stopping in front of Honest. "Did I really have to drink your soda for you after drinking all of my shake?"
"Well," Honest said, smiling. "It's not like I was going to."
"Between you and that faker, I don't know how I'm still alive," Shadow said before turning towards the closest bathroom.
Shadow thought he had stepped on a tripwire because as soon he took a step, it was like he had set off a trap, and Sonic had been propelled forward, running inside and shutting the door behind him.
"Get out of there, Faker, before I splatter your MTN Dew all over those tile walls!" Shadow threatened, knowing Sonic was partial to his favorite beverage while gaming.
"You snooze, you loose, Shadow. I've got to use the restroom, also," Sonic said through the door.
Shadow looks to Snow, who is standing nearby. "Isn't there another bathroom in this maze of a house?"
Snow shakes her head "no". Shadow feels a sense of hopelessness, mixed with an overwhelming sensation in his bladder, wash over him, and went to sit beside the door to wait.
Shadow woke up an hour or so later to feel the feeling surging back. He gets up and pounds on the door. "Come out now, Hedgehog!"
"Alright, alright, Shadow. I'm coming." Sonic unlocks the door with a click, only to have Shadow come rushing in a half second later. He throws Sonic out behind him. Sonic landed on his bottom on the carpet.
"I was about to make a dirty joke, but I guess that'll come later," Sonic said to himself.
Unbeknownst to them, Honest was exiting from a room upstairs... another restroom.
(Alright, I cut out a scene that is super pointless, but basically Honest convinces Shadow to hang out with her and Sonic in the park by having a "totally meaningful" conversation.)
The next morning, Shadow, Honest, and Sonic went to the park in town, just like old times. (This is based after w/Sonic and Cafe Edition (aka Fall 2016)) They bought ice cream and chili dogs, and sat down at a table to eat.
No longer than fifteen seconds later and two unlikely visitors sat across from them- Mephiles and Silver. They were a mirrored form of Shadow and Sonic- both Silver and Sonic were eating chili dogs and both Shadow and Mephiles were eating ice cream, though Shadow's and Mephiles's ice creams were different flavors.
"What are you guys doing here?" Sonic asked. Then, very slowly, both pairs of hedgies started leaning in close, squinting and eating their food. It was like looking into a mirror except Honest didn't have another version of herself across from her. Until Blaze the Cat came and sat between Silver and Mephiles. "What the heck are you guys doing?" She had asked the same question Sonic had, expecting an answer this time.
"Nothing!" the four hedgies all said at once. Silver accidentally dropped his chili dog in his lap. One of Mephiles's tentacles (why again does he have those in fan fictions?) came out of nowhere and removed it. Honest started feeling uneasy.
"Wait... how does Mephiles eat ice-cream without a mouth?" Mephiles turns to look at Blaze. He held the ice cream near where his mouth would be if he had one, and simply stared at her, stoic.
"Then again, how does he speak?" Honest said with a laugh, though she still felt uneasy.
It was maybe thirty minutes later, and Silver, Mephiles, and Blaze had left the park, leaving Shadow, Honest, and Sonic sitting on a bench. Shadow and Sonic had finished their food. Honest's stomach growled; she was hungry as well.
"I'm starving. Should I have an ice-cream cone or a chili dog?"
"Ice cream!" "Chili dog!" they both said at once.
"But I don't have enough money for both-"
"I'll pay for it," Shadow offered.
Honest looked at Shadow in wonder. His gaze was unwavering; he was serious.
"I'll pay for the chili dog half!" Sonic exclaimed, butting in.
"Save it, Faker." He stood up and pulled Honest with him to the stand.
When they had got to the stand, Shadow pulled his wallet out of his black hole-like spines. He tugged a few dollars free, and Honest was surprised to see that was all he had left.
"Shadow..."
"Hm?" he said, stopping.
"You didn't have to spend all your money on me, you know," Honest pointed out.
"Oh, well," Shadow said, looking at the ground. "About that-" (Yeah, what about that? I don't remember what he was going to say when I originally wrote it.)
"Do you want something or not?" Shadow and Honest turned abruptly to see a pink and white cat with crazy rainbow hair manning the stand.
"Oh! Um," Shadow mumbling, juggling the money. "We want a vanilla ice-cream cone and a chili dog."
The cat snatched the money away from him, and turned to stomp off, her light, magenta eyes seemingly stabbing Shadow through the forehead.
They got their food and went back to find Sonic.
(What an abrupt ending.)
