They appear in the middle of a park. It seems abandoned. "Where are we?" Shadow asks Penny, looking at the small child. "We are at a park that no one has been to in many years. It's pretty, isn't it?" She looks at him with shinning blue eyes. "I guess." He just shrugs and looks around. "So, where are the other emeralds? The sooner we get them the better." "Well Sonic has 4 of the emeralds, Eggman with 2 and we have 1. I suspect a visit from Sonic will be coming our way here soon anyways." Penny just looks at the clouds, relaxed. "Well then, how long do you think it will take for him to get here?" Shadow asked, assuming she knew the blue faker. "Give it a couple of minutes. They should realize that a chaos emerald is moving around in Tokyo." Penny then looked at Shadow. "Did you really get to be friends with her?" Penny asked Shadow. "Who her?" Shadow asked confused. "Her her." Penny was pointing to the sky. Shadow then got the hint. "Yes. She was a sweet girl and my only friend at the time." Shadow looked like he might cry. "Ok. I was just wondering. I remember my mother telling me stories about The Arc. I t sounds like a cool place."

She then heard a gust of wind blow by along with a blue blur. "Leave Sonic! I can see you, idiot!" Penny shouted loud. Penny and Shadow then saw a blue hedgehog screech to a halt. "Aw! Had to suck the fun out of this, didn't you?" Sonic then ran over to Penny and scooped her up into a hug. "Of course I did! How long have you known me?" She gave Sonic a hug and looked into his emerald green eyes. "So, what are you here for, slow poke?" She teased the blue hedgehog. "Slow poke?! I'm the fastest thing alive! What are you talking about, calling me slow poke?" She giggled at his usual response. "Oh calm down you big baby. And like I asked, what do you want?" "There are several chaos emeralds in the area. I think they're with Eggman but I'm not too sure." He looked at her. "Two of them are. I know where the 3rd one is." She looked at him with a sky smile. "And where would that be?" He slyly smiled back. "I have it back home. But I'm not giving it to you." "WHAT?!" That shocked Sonic. "Why not?" The hedgehog whined immaturely. "Because I don't wanna. Shadow could probably take better care of an emerald than you." She smirked at him. "So, where are the others?" She asked, finally stopped clinging onto him and slipped down onto the ground. "On their way in the X Tornado. He found a way to fix that plane but it's still slow compared to me." Penny rolled her eyes at that remark.

She grew bored by the hedgehog and decided to walk to Shadow and just smiled at him. For some reason he couldn't think of he just picked her up and held her like a teddy bear. "I'm growing bored here. How about we all head home." She said, sounding tired. "Are you able to walk?" Shadow asked. "I don't feel like walking. Too tired." She leaned her head into his chest fur, which relaxed the ebony hedgehog. "I guess you want me to carry you?" He asked cockily. "Please? I helped you out today!" She whined. "Fine. But just this once." He said, pretending to not care. She snuggled herself closer. "Thank you Shadow." She said super sweetly. "Hmph."

They then got back at her place to find that the others were already there waiting in the small living room. There were hardly any room for anyone in that building. There were four seats left in the room and Sonic climbed into one of them so Shadow laid Penny down in the other and chose to stand next to the chair. Penny the began to climb out of the big chair but Shadow stopped her. "Stay." He said in a sort of gentle tone. "You sure? I have no problem moving. I'm getting too tired to even be awake." She then gave a small yawn. "Sounds like you might be too tired to even go to your room." He said playfully. "I don't wanna go that far." She whined again. "I don't even want to be in my room." "Well then just lay there." "But the chair is too big and I want something soft." She was enjoying how annoyed Shadow could get at this. Then the next thing she knew she was lifted and she felt something soft. She then opened her eyes and saw that she was against Shadow's chest fur as he sat under her in the big chair. "This better?" Shadow asked, annoyed. "Yep!" And she snuggled herself closer to Shadow as she heard Sonic bust out laughing at Shadow.
