I Finally started to write again. Yeah!! & You can expect a lot more stories and chapters now that is is Summer. This chapter is boring at first, yeas, I know. But I love the ending...

Finally, the three hedgehogs arrived at a rather large brick house. Two kids were playing outside. One a crystal blue hedgehog with dark blue eyes. The other kid was a white rabbit with yellow moon-crested eyes. Lina said good-bye to her parent, grabbed the grocery bag and birthday present, and emerged from the vehicle. Lina ran to her friends.

"Happy Birthday, Beau," Lina said to the crystal hedgehog hugging her. "Where should I put my stuff?" Lina gestured towards her backpack, and the two bags she held.

"My mom probably wants them inside," she replied. They walked into the house and Beau called, "Mom?"

"In here," her mom called back from the kitchen. They walked in to the kitchen that was brightly lit with the early afternoon sunlight. A large birthday cake sat on the kitchen counter begging to be eaten as it glistened with it's pink glittery icing bearing the words, "Happy Birthday Beau." and six pink candles lining the words. "Hey, Lina, put your bags on the table please. Your mom's is going to pick you up tomorrow, right? I could take you home though if you couldn't get a ride I'm taking Sara home."

Lina put the bags on the oak table as she was told and nodded her head. "Yes, Mrs. Lakes, my mom shall be coming to pick me up tomorrow." Both Beau and Sara looked at her as if she was mad.

"Well, okay, then...Um run along and play then. If your hungry breakfast lunch will be ready soon," Beau's mom said as if disappointed.

A few minutes they were sitting in Beau's bedroom. Posters of their favorite Chao bands littered the rose-colored walls. The room was organized adorned with oak furniture. They sat down on a rug with a picture of two blue chaos sitting underneath a rainbow. "What was that all about?" Beau said this as she glanced at Lina.

"That's how my mom talks to the people who work for her. I was just trying to be polite," replied Lina.

"Okay, we get the point. Shut up both of you!" Both Lina and Beau looked up to see Sara's angry face. Sara was the type of person who didn't like to see people fight.

"You shouldn't say 'shut up'," said Beau who was now glaring at Sara.

All was quiet for a moment and then Lina decided to break the tension between her friends. "My parents were fighting earlier."

Sara looked concerned as she looked at her friend and Beau appeared shocked. "Bu..but," Beau stumbled on her words. "That's what Maryl's parents did before they split up."

Lina nodded her head. "Brunch," called Beau's mom.

They walked down the stairs to the dining room. A breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns,

bacon, a variety of fruits, French toast, and waffles lay on the table beckoning them towards it. They sat at the table and ate the delicious meal.

Later after the birthday party and activities, Lina had forgotten about all her worries and was having fun playing the Chao racing game with her friends. They sat in the large living room eating pizza from a box and taking turns playing the video game. Soon, though they had to go to bed.

The next day Amy came to pick up Lina. "How was the party?" Her mom asked her this when they were in the car.

"It was lots of fun," she replied with a smile on her face and adjusting her seat belt in the backseat of the car.

"That's great, bunny. Anyway, out little house guest came earlier than planned and your dad is at work so we have to go straight home today." Lina siged when she heard her mom say this. Every Sunday they went to the park to play and she hated that she wouldn't be able to spend more time with her mom since they had a guest.

"Why is daddy at work?" Shadow never worked on the weekend and all of a sudden he was at work.

"One of the computers crashed and he was the only person who could come in on such short notice." the rest of the drive was silent until they reached their house. There was no strange car in the driveway as she expected.

"Um, did he leave," asked Lina as her mom and her emerged from the vehicle.

"No, Lina. He doesn't have a car. He took a train here and then I picked him up earlier when he called me," replied Amy as they made their way inside. A blue hedgehog sat on the couch. Lina recognized him from the group photo taken many years ago. He looked the same just older and his facial hair was a bit scruffy. The scruffy facial hair, though, on him made him look more mature.

"Lina, this is Sonic one of my old friends," Amy said.

"Hi, Sonic. Nice to meet you," she said being as polite as posible.

"You too, Lina. Why don't you go upstairs and play so you and your mom can catch up?"

"Okay," Lina said and ran upstairs. Amy sat on the couch next to Sonic. Old memories flowed through her mind as she waited for Sonic to say something.

"How are you, Aim?" Amy was shocked, none of her friends called her Aim anymore, not even Tails. The only one who had called her Aim since College was Shadow.

"F-fine," she replied, "And you?" Just then Sonic grabbed Amy around the waist and kissed her forcefully. Amy tried to get out of his tight grasp, but he was holding her strongly. She had wanted this moment years ago, but now she was married to Shadow and had a kid. She was confused. Did she actually like the the idea that Sonic was kissing her? She wasn't sure but she stopped trying to get out of his grasp and put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Why was she doing this? Sonic had treated both her and Shadow bad in the past. So why was she enjoying this kiss with him now. Little did they know though that someone was looking in at them.

Outside stood Shadow who them through the window. The blinds were open just as they always were during the daylight hours. He caught a glance of something as he was passing by and stopped to look in. Neither of them noticed that he was there. Sonic was facing away from the window and Amy had her eyes closed. Shadow there for a minute watching them enjoy themselves. A tear fell from Shadow's eyes as her turned and walked away and got into his car. He drove away wondering why Amy had done this to him...

So, what'd you think? Please Review!!
