Mending hearts with broken tools.
The next morning after the disaster at the ball.
Shadow woke up on the couch. The green idiot had messed up his appartement and he was in a terrible mood. The coffee machine wouldn't work and his whole appartement was terrible to look at. The neighboors were already spreading rumors about him. What a joy at the morning, especially after a disastrous evening. The broken phone at teh other side of the room reminded him of the heavy responsability over his shoulders. He would at least show he's still alive and would resign from it. At least he would have do it properly. He sat and heard his landline picked up the phone to hear the voice of Eggman. All the details about Millie and her condition. He felt like a cunt but was still holding a grudge for last night. He still needed to see her again at least one time. He made his mind up and headed for the hospital in a snap of fingers and a flash of light. What he didn't expected was the critical condition in which he'd find her. But meanwhile at the other side of the town the alabaster bat was stucked with the green moron. '' Get off my table you creep. This is pure marble you jerk and you might break something'' she yelled at him furiously while off course he didn't listened and drank a whole six pack of beer cans while pretending he was listening know how much she hated that. '' pff gimme a break, Shadz already kicked me out don't be a bitch. I'm a homeless in this fucked dimension..'' she sighed and kicked him off the table. '' then do something out of you damn arse and you won't be a homeless '' off course it pissed him off , he was a king after all and now. Not much of a peasent. '' why does everyone here tell me to do something when y'all hate me. Don't you think it's a tad unfair ? '' he wasn't placed to talk about what's fair and what's not but. Evil guys don't really change after all. '' Eggman dosen't hate you and...get a job. '' she crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the floor. '' i'm sure Red could help you with that. He's really kind hearted now a days '' and the conversation wen't on and on...Poor Red , without knowing he'd have to deal with Scourge. Just because she'd ask him to. Speaking of which spent the night on teh sidewalk along with Sonic until both got hungry and walked to a restaurant and had a breakfast. '' Y'know Red , i really don't know what to do with all of this...'' he nodded and looked at his vibrating phone. '' oh i need to get this . Just hold on '' the blue shrugged and waited. '' Mornin' Sunshi...what? Really? Awww comon love...do i really need to ? Awww fine... but only because you're the one asking..'' he hung up and weird expression appeared on his face. ''what's up bud? You seems troubled or something..'' he didn't mean to know the whole story but Red began to explain and the conversation went on and on. Sonic wanted to escape this moment of awkwardness talking about trying to manage Scourge. Hoping for a miracle Silver showed up for brunch along with Blaze and he waved at them hoping they would shut him up. Then it happened. Shadow was along with them. His heart stopped for an instant feeling how cold the dining room felt. They all sat around the same table and it was silent. No one dared to speak at first. Silver broke the silence to ease the tension. '' Hum.. I think we should at least order don't you? Also you guys are known rivals but ...you should at least act in a proper and civile way on this one and solve this out..'' Blaze and Red swallowed their own salivas and looked away. He had broke the silence and did bring that up. This couldn't end up very well. At least the waiters noticed the tension and asked them to politely leave before anything bad happens. Once outside they gathered in a circle and again , silence. Shadow groaned and simply left them without a single word. Just as they were about to leave ... Eggman appeared along with Rouge and Scourge. But why did all the bad news had to happen in a single day. The whole band was crumbling Eggman greeted them politely and even invited them to his lair thinking they should try to discuss about Millie's situation and Shadow would be here to put an end to that conflict.
