Scene 4: Business with Shadi

In the meantime, Sonic decided to take some time in the city. He thought going in the city could take his mind off of having to deal with Eggman and Shadi. He also wanted to get something to eat since he skipped breakfast. Sonic ran into the city at a steady pace. He waved to people that he past and gave a friendly smile to the residents.

"Good morning everyone!" he called out as he started slowing down every second and eventually started walking.

The residents were happy to see Sonic and to see he was happy again. They waved back at Sonic as he passed them, and after Sonic walked past them, they would resume back to what they had to do. In the city, people usually roamed around. There were both humans and animals that would go around in the city.

Sonic first decided to go to the Police Department, and ask if there was anything goings on and if things were in good hands. Sonic stopped by and saluted to the police first, then went to questions.

"So, has anything happened the last week or so?" asked Sonic "Anything you know about Eggman, and what he's up to?" he asked

"We don't know anything that he's planning right up to this moment" The policemen replied "But we assure you that nothing bad has been stirring up. There are regular activities just going around town pretty much. The folks are doing fine, no reports of any accidents or murderers around. It's all fine, Sonic"

Sonic smiled as he heard that there was nothing wrong, and he thanked the policemen politely for telling him this. And then he immediately left the building. Sonic continued to explore the city and see if he could help anyone. After some time, Sonic went into a restaurant to order some things to feast upon.

Outside the building though, Shadi had walked around the city, looking for Sonic. Apparently, he was quite annoyed that Sonic threatened him from before. He randomly shouted across the city

"Hey spike-head!" he shouted, "I'm not done with you yet! Show yourself and let me beat you up. Come on Sonic! I wasn't finished yelling at you yet! I need to pin my violence on someone" Shadi continues to yell random lines while Sonic didn't hear him in the restaurant, but he could see Shadi outside the window.

"Crap!" shouted Sonic "Why's that kid following me?" he asked himself and hid under the table.

There was a slam at the front door, and Shadi had walked in with an angered expression

"Stupid Sonic not showing up in the city!" shouted Shadi "Now everyone's staring at me since I was yelling towards nothing. I look like an idiot!" He said blaming his acts on Sonic. He walked into the store and towards the manager.

The manager looked at him with a confused look, but followed Shadi to an empty table. It also happened to be the one where Sonic was sitting before, and hiding under the table.

"Stupid manager!" whispered Sonic under his breath as Shadi took a seat. "Doesn't he know I'm still here?"

Shadi sighed and took a seat, then he crossed his arms, as well as his face and turned to the manager with a annoyed expression

"Thanks again" Shadi said politely to the store manager and read the menu the manager handed out. Shadi ordered what he wanted and then he started waiting at the table.

In the meantime, Sonic was still under the table, waiting for Shadi to leave and hoping that he wouldn't look under the table to discover that he was there. The waiting did make Sonic a little frustrated though since it was what he hated. Sonic never really liked to wait, and it would usually get to him up to a point. Would he set off in this area, though?

"Why did I hide down here?" he asked himself "This is really stupid!" he peered towards the other side to see if the manager would be coming back at any time. He growled upon not seeing the manager.

"Blasts! Where is that stupid manager?" Sonic shouted and after that he felt a slight touch on his cheek. Sonic looked forward, and stuck his head out of the table a bit, and saw Shadi rocking on his chair.

"Darn!" shouted Shadi "If I knew I had to wait this long, I wouldn't have come in and spend more time looking for Sonic" he said as he put his arms on the chair and started swinging back and forth, sometimes accidentally kicking Sonic, much to his annoyance.

Sonic put his hands towards his face as Shadi hit him lightly three times. Sonic looked back at Shadi and peered above to check on Shadi but being sure not to expose himself. Sonic huffed and lowered his brow towards Shadi

"Shadi, stop that!" he whispered roughly. Sonic turned the other way again, still growling and trying to suppress his anger. In about just a few seconds, past, Sonic couldn't take it anymore. He burst, and prepared to leave.

"That's it!" he shouted as he placed an arm on the ground, preparing to get up, "I'm out of- OW!" he yelped as he was getting up a little too quickly, banging his head on the table.

Shadi saw the table move, and became a bit suspicious. His eyes shrunk a little as he stared at the table with his awkward stance

"What was that?" asked Shadi, as he lightly banged the table 3 times, then two more times "Service here seems also creepy also." he said as he looked semi-freaked out while glancing around the room swiftly.

Under the table again, Sonic rubbed his head after he stupidly banged it on the table.

"God I'm an idiot!" he shouted harshly; just then Sonic heard a door open again. He peered under the table and saw the manager come back. "About time he came back!" he growled "Stupid service that's so slow around here!" he muttered under his breath as he crouched under the table again.

The waiter set Shadi's order on the table and apologized to him about the slow service that was going around. Shadi glanced around at the place, and looked at the waiter uneasily.

"This feels odd!" he mumbled "For some reason I feel like I'm being watched" he paused for a while "I don't like creepy things that stare at me, like those Tickle Me Elmo toys." Shadi exclaimed, but then tried to calm down a bit, "But then again, if I ignore it, maybe it'll stop!" he shouted "Cheers!" he cried as he threw his arms out in the air, as he unintentionally kicked Sonic again. This time it was a little harder

Sonic growled harshly, and twitched violently around the ears and his eyebrows. He soon burst a screamed and looked at Shadi again with lowered eyes and heavy breathing.

"That's it!" he shouted. His eye started twitching even more as the waiting just got to him. He held on Shadi hard, and bit his knee with his sharp fangs.

Shadi screamed in pain when he felt something sharp on his leg. He jumped up screaming around, trying to shake Sonic off. Sonic immediately let go of Shadi, and then pushed him on the ground; then he ran out of the store as far away from Shadi.

"Hey!" shouted Shadi as he tried to recover from the sudden attack, "You get back here, Sonic! I'm not done with you!" he continued to scream. As Shadi rushed out of the door, Sonic was already out of site, which made Shadi snap.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Shadi shouted while jouncing in a fit of rage
