(Sorry this took so long. I completely forgot about my story and this is all I could make in the little free time I have now. Enjoy.)
Sonic and Shadow blasted across the field both trying to go faster than the other. Within seconds they reached the forest edge. The two hedgehogs came to a sudden halt. Silver was sent flying over Shadow a landed head first into a tree.
"Ouch…" He groaned. Shadow just let out a deep laugh. Sonic ignored the two and let Blaze down.
"Did you have fun?" he asked while stretching out his back. Blaze nodded.
"Yes, I knew you could run fast but I wasn't sure if you could hit to speeds with my extra weight." she told him. Sonic crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"Of course I could reach high speeds with someone on my back. Plus you don't weigh too much so it was easy." the hedgehog explained. Shadow then came walking over.
"The only reason you could keep up is because Silver weighs a ton." Shadow told him.
"I am not fat! Eggman is fat!" Silver yelled at him. "And I have lots of fur too!" Shadow rolled his eyes.
"Yes, I'm sure all those cheeseburgers you had at McDonalds were low in calories." Shadow tormented.
"Well I only had two! You had 30 chicken nuggets!" Silver yelled back. Shadow glared at him.
"Where I grew up there was no fast food. What's your excuse?" he growled back.
"There were no fast food places in the future right Sonic?" Silver responded. Sonic backed off.
"Well I never ate at McDonalds so I can't say anything." he told them. Shadow turned to face him.
"That's because you attacked the chilidog stand outside." The black hedgehog reminded. Blaze stomped her foot.
"Can we focus on stopping the Eggmen?" she demanded. Sonic nodded his head.
"Right, if we keep heading forward than we must reach the exit." Sonic told them. Shadow crossed his arms and walked into the forest. Silver ran right behind him.
"Hey! Wait for me!" he yelled.
The bunch walked through the forest till they found a dirt path. Silver plowed forward and slammed onto the ground. He stretched out and rolled in the dirt.
"Yes! Now we can get out of here!" he cried out. Sonic rolled his eyes.
"Silver, we've only been walking for five minutes." he told the now brown hedgehog.
"It felt like forever!" he said while getting up. The group fallowed the path till it started to become dark.
"We must set up camp before it gets to dark." stated Blaze while she looked up and the darkening sky. Sonic nodded.
"Where do you think would be a good spot?" he asked her. She stood in silence.
"I can hear water up ahead. We could also catch some fish." Blaze told them as she walked up ahead. Silver yawned.
"It better not be too far." he groaned.
They soon reach the sound were they found a large lake. Blaze looked at the ground. There were two imprints in the grass.
"I know where we are now…" she said sadly. Sonic noticed her tone and told Shadow and Silver to go get some wood. After a short but vigorous argument they left. Blaze was sitting and holding her knees while looking out over the water. Sonic sat next to her.
"Hey, you ok?" he asked. She put her head down.
"This is where Snipe and I were when you guys got captured. If we wouldn't have left then you would not have been caught and Snipe wouldn't be-"she paused and lowered her head farther. Sonic turned his head a looked at the moon reflecting off the water.
"It's not your fault. There's no way anyone could have known what was going to happen." he told her. She shook her head.
"I should have known…" she said solemnly. Sonic put his hand on her back. Just then Shadow and Silver came out of the woods. They dropped the pile of sticks on the ground.
"There." Shadow said wile brushing off his hands. "Now make a fire so I can go to bed." he demanded. A large flame blasted upwards out of the pile and brushed against Shadow. There was only burnt an ash where the sticks once were. Silver burst out laughing as the black hedgehog jumped around trying to put out the small flame on his head. Shadow jumped forward and into the lake. Silver nearly died when Shadow stepped out all wet and had a small bald spot on his head. He made a deep growl.
"There's your fire." Blaze said sadly. Shadow ignored her and went over and lay down in the grass. Blaze rolled over and onto her side. "I'm going to sleep." she told them. Sonic lay down behind her.
"Me too. What about you Silver? Silver?" he turned around and saw the white hedgehog had already passed out. Sonic soon fell asleep to. They did not notice the figure watching them from the trees.
"Targets located." it said in a robotic voice. "Reporting data to Eggman." it beeped before turning and blasting off.
