Somewhere in Westopolis, our two favorite hedgehogs were trailing Eggman throughout the city limits, when suddenly he ran towards the forest. Sonic stared in bewilderment, and then said "At least Eggman didn't go to Westopolis." He looked at Shadow and spoke, "Now with that out of the way, let's get back to our race, Shadow" The darker hedgehog simply nodded and they dashed towards the city.
They were racing around until they turned a corner and didn't notice Amy carrying a huge gift box, and a smaller box that looked like a Christmas present. The pink hedgehog heard the race between the two speedsters and jumped out of the way as they sped past her, nearly dropping the presents she was holding. Sonic and Shadow sped past her like she wasn't there, and continued their competition. The blue blur asked the darker hedgehog where the finish line will be, and he pointed at the tallest skyscraper in the city. Sonic grinned and remarked, "You sure know some strange places to end our races, huh." Shadow merely shrugged that comment off and motioned his rival to get going. They rounded the next corner and made a mad dash towards the tall building.
When the two reached the huge building, they jumped on the walls and sprinted upwards towards the top. It was a long way to the top, but as they reached the tip, they spotted gargoyle statues on the edge of the windows. Both competitors saw this as an option to get ahead of each other, but Sonic and Shadow had the same thought and climbed onto the heads of the statues and jumped with all their might.
The top of the huge building had a huge satellite dish, and that seemed to be the object that shadow was referring to as the finish line. Shadow spoke, "Ok Sonic, seems we are evenly matched in speed, but how good are your reactions? On the count of 3, we jump at that satellite dish, first one to touch it wins this competition" Sonic simply grinned as Shadow extended his arm and used some of his energy to create a countdown timer out of chaos energy, and it started at 0. Sonic took note of this and knew that shadow wasn't trying to get an early lead, and simply crouched down like he was going to pounce on something. Shadow did the same, and started the timer using his mind. Sure enough, the timer began the moment he mentally commanded. 1… 2… 3. With that, both hedgehogs used all their might into their jump.
It comes as a surprise that both Shadow AND Sonic grabbed the satellite dish at the exact same time, so Shadow grunted and remarked, "Seems it's a tie, Sonic. Next time we race, I will be the winner." With that, he used chaos control to teleport himself to the bottom of the skyscraper. Sonic, on the other hand, ran towards the door to the stairs and darted down to the entrance/exit of the building. With nothing else to do, he ran off looking for Amy to see if she's gotten into trouble.
Back with Amy, she stared off in the direction the racers were headed and sighed "Must've been Sonic and Shadow again. I'd better go follow Sonic, he's going to like the present I got for him" She darted off in the direction she last saw the hedgehogs race in. As she turned to the left, she spotted the blue blur walking around slowly as if enjoying the scenery. Amy saw this as an opportunity and ran after him. Unfortunately for her, he spotted her and ran off calling back to her "I don't have time for you yet Amy, maybe later!" She heard this and yelled back to him "Wait, Sonic, I have something for you!"
Sonic heard this, and surprisingly stopped. He turned to face the female with a curious face wondering what it could be that she got him. With that, he slowly walked towards Amy with regret in his mind for going towards the girl who kept chasing him for years. Taking a chance, he asked her "What is it that you have for me?" With that, she held out the small present she had and gave it to Sonic. To her surprise, he asked to open the gift together as a way to make up for those times he kept avoiding her. With great joy, she helped the blue blur open his present. When he saw what was inside, he gave Amy a big hug and gave her a small kiss on the cheek, thanking her for the present she gave him. Sonic then told Amy, "Not bad, Amy. I'm actually impressed with this. How about I take you on that date you kept bugging me about for years as thanks?" Amy, now glad that she can finally have the opportunity to go on a date with our hero, told him to meet her at her house tomorrow afternoon. With that, he sped off waving goodbye to her as he ran.
Somewhere outside the city limits, Tails was busy tinkering with some gadgets he made, like the Tornado for instance. He was pretty busy inventing some new things that he thinks might help him in many situations. While he was busy working out the problems with his newest 'toy', he didn't notice Sonic coming in. "Still working on that new machine, Tails?" he asked the young fox. Tails turned around and told him he was working on a special project that can really help him out, but is having a hard time trying to get the bugs sorted out on the new invention he's working on. The invention he was working on looked like one of the guns that the GUN robots use (the white machine gun from Shadow the Hedgehog game), but the barrel where the bullets are shot from has been shortened to about half the size.
Tails explained "I'm trying to modify GUN's weapon that they put on their robots so that they can be more efficient, more powerful, and at the same time, using less resources." Sonic was impressed at the concept, and suggested some ideas to help him improve the improvement he was working on. To his surprise, Tails told him that he already tried those ideas and continued working. Even more surprising to the young fox was what Sonic told him about Amy and the date he promised her. He told his young friend that he was bored, and decided to get that out of the way so Amy would stop bothering him about it for a while.
Back at the space pod with the mysterious hedgehog traveling through the galaxy, he just passed Jupiter when he decided to get some more sleep. He informed the computer to wake him up when they land on Earth.
At the Chaotix base, Espio was meditating like usual, but then he started to feel uneasy about what the future may hold, as if fearing an exceptionally difficult task. He told his boss about it, but he shrugged it off and told Espio to forget about it. Still feeling uneasy, he told Vector and Charmy that he was going into the woods to work on his skills.
Somewhere in the city, Shadow was on a rooftop planning a way to beat Sonic some way to prove his superiority over Sonic. Idea after idea came to his mind but he kept discarding them all knowing that the blue blur would beat him or would result in a tie. After much planning, he came up with the perfect idea and chuckled to himself at how he should've thought of it before.
The mysterious hedgehog in space is heading straight for Earth, Sonic has a date with Amy, and Shadow came up with the perfect plan (or so he thinks). Sounds like some unusual things are about to happen. What present did Amy give to Sonic that made him decide to date her? Stay tuned for another episode of Ozone the Hedgehog: Defender of Peace. (A/N: Don't worry, the action is coming soon, if the story so far is popular enough that is) R&R please.
