/Joy's POV

Setting: White Castle; Santa Monica, California; 8:00am.

Let me ask you a question. Have you every looked at someone and thought: What is going on inside of their head? Well, i know what goes on inside of Shadow the Hedgehog's head. At least, i think i do.

Now, i'm no mind reader or anything, but i think that Shadow and i are becoming very good friends. Well, at least it think i do. Again, i'm not a mind reader. Shadow and i have a very awkward history, up to this point, and very recently, our bond has started to improve. It's not much of an improvement, but the sheer fact that it's starting to improve, makes me smile widely.

I'm Joy, and i'm the proud and active Mayor of the greatest city in the world, Buffalo, New York! This city has everything: The greatest people, the greatest jobs, the greatest-well, everything really! I'm am insanely proud to be serving this great city, to say the least. I currently live with two of the greatest friends i can ever have, one of which is my lovely, and very amazing fiancee'! Their names are Sonic the Hedgehog and Daffy Duck-also known as my lovely and very amazing fiancee'!

I enjoy living with my boys, and it's a blast living with them! We always have so much fun together! Well...most of the time! Some times, they get at each other's throats, for the most weirdest things! For example, there was this situation where Daffy and Sonic were arguing over the fact that Daffy was..."abusing his fuse" to a very popular TV Show. Now, I love my future husband with all of my heart! When he's happy, i'm happy, and nothing makes me happier when Daffy is happy. But, i find it...odd, that he "gives himself a helping hand" to the TV Show, Everybody Loves Raymond.

Now, i will admit, that Ray Romano is very attractive...somewhat. I also loved him in the Ice Age series of movies. I just don't understand why Daffy has such a sensual attraction towards him. I don't mind if he has sexual interests, other than females, and i'm always more than happy to experiment with him, should the situation arise. I just find it very weird, that's all. But, above all else, i support my Daffy no matter what. If he wants to "butter the corn" to Ray Romano, then he should just have at it! As long as he's happy, i'm happy!

Every weekend, Sonic and Daffy, go to Santa Monica, California, to take some time to relax from what they go through on a daily basis. Sonic runs a Foot Locker store, near Downtown Buffalo, while Daffy runs an Olive Garden, right next to Sonic's Foot Locker store. They both get a ton of business, and they are always exhausted every day they come home. The flow of people are nonstop for them every day. They get amazing business, mainly due to the large amount of tourist, and Buffalonians, visiting their current area. Overall, they are insanely hard workers who deserve millions of dollars for their hard work.

I normally don't go with them every weekend, mainly because i'm too busy serving the great city of Buffalo. But recently, i've come to terms with the fact that...my fellow team members think that i work too hard. Now, i digress! I could never work too hard for my fellow Buffalonians. There is so much to get done, and as soon as humanely possible. I just don't have the time for breaks, you know? But, everyone in the office just suggested that i should at least take off during the weekends. Can you believe that? Weekends are the most busy, with the most events happening.I cant just bail on everything, when the city and my coworkers needs me the most. I would just be doing an overall disservice

Recently, i had a change of heart. I realize that if i wear myself out too much, i wont be able to do my work, at my utmost best. Plus, i was forced by City Council to take off during the weekends, since they were concerned about my overall health. I was healthy as a horse, and still am, but unfortunately, City Council thought otherwise. So, today, i am in Santa Monica California, with one of my best friends in the whole world, Shadow the Hedgehog! We're currently eating at a White Castle to eat some delicious California sliders! This is my first time eating at White Castle, along with Shadow, so this should be very fun!

Many of you may ask me: Why is Shadow with me? Well, recently Shadow has been in a very depressive state. His former girlfriend, Satsuki Kiryuin, broke up with him because she thought she was cheating on him with Claire Farron, a.k.a, Lightning(known for starring in the game Final Fantasy XIII, and her girlfriend Aqua, who is well-known for being in the Kingdom Hearts series of video games, at the same time. Now, before i confuse you even further, let me give you a summary of Shadow's living arrangement.

There is a certain building right across from the house that i live in. There lies a detective agency known as Devil May Cry. This building has 3 floors, with different people living in each floor. On the first floor, Dante and his partners, Trish and Lady, reside. In the second floor, Shadow lives in an apartment with two roommates. One of them is my close friend, Disgust, who is mad at me for reasons i don't know about. The other is this very fashionable British lady, named Cereza. The majority call her by the name Bayonetta, but i like to call her Cereza, as it's more personal and friendly to call her by her real name, in my opinion.

Ligthning and Aqua live right across from them, as they share an apartment together. Shadow hangs out with Lightning and Aqua slightly more, than with Disgust and Bayonetta. Regardless, Satsuki realized this and felt very threatened by the fact. In my opinion, she was very misinformed. Just because Shadow is surrounded by close female friends who are more attractive than her, doesn't not give her the incentive to break Shadow's heart! That is not ok, in my book, and i can assure you of that.

As for the 3rd floor...i really don't know what lies within there. I couldn't really tell you, to be honest. Anyways, I pratically, but happly, begged Shadow to come with me on the weekends, so he can get away from everything and spend some time with me. I know i was being a bit forceful, but if it means that Shadow will cope, i will be as forceful as i can, if it means Shadow will be happy. But, above all else, I, Joy, will be making sure that Shadow has the best weekends of his entire life. Even as we start off in Santa Monica, eating White Castle together, it will be a step towards complete cope of his break up. My job throughout the weekends will be to help him through this, as positively as possible. As long as Shadow is happy, i'll be happy!
