Silver wiped his forehead as he stood outside, looking around, he now had to get wood for the fireplace in the lounge.

"It's so hot," Silver said quietly to himself "Well, better hurry." he then started walking to go collect the wood.

"Ah, Silver," The ivory hedgehog turned around to see Chris running up to him while waving, "I'm bored now," Chris said causing Silver to laugh a little.

"I've realized that the only time you're bored is when you're working." Silver said a kind smile placed on his face, Chris huffed before looking away.

"That's not true, I also get bored when there's nothing to do," Silver then got a look on his face that said 'oh really now?' in a sarcastic tone.

"Anyway, are you busy right now?" Chris shook his head as a response, "great, then you can help me pick up firewood, go on now, shoo, shoo." Chris frowned.

"Even though you may seem sweet and innocent," Chris then got close to him before starting to poke him on the forehead "you're actually a devil child." Chris huffed before sticking his nose into the air then walking away.

Silver sighed a little and thought of how childish Chris was being before also walking away to get back to work.

Silver was just picking up a few more pieces of wood before he heard a musical laugh.

"Oh god, it's that guy again," he heard Chris say from who knows where.

"Hello you too, I sure do hope that you both are working hard, once you get enough firewood you can come inside to get lunch where the other two will be waiting for you, now before I go I must say, be impressed with my beauty and presence, so long." He then walked off.

"What was that?" Silver asked himself quietly before picking up that last piece of wood.

---

"Ah, lunch looks delicious!" Silver said while smiling before sitting down next to Robbie who was sitting down already.

"No we can't eat this stuff, haven't you ever heard of those deaths from hotels because they were poisoned by the food the owners gave them?" Robbie snorted.

"Stop being ridiculous, Chris." Chris huffed.

"But it's true," Chris leaned over the table to whisper "It happened before and it could happen again, to us, do you want that to happen, I can even tell you the story. I can!" Silver pouted.

"I'm hungry and I don't feel like listening to a story," he said stubbornly.

"Well anyway it went like this," Chris closed his eyes then before beginning once again, "On a dark and stormy night,"

"Why does a scary story always begin with 'a dark and stormy night'?" Silver asked causing Chris to glare at him.

"Just to set the mood, but for me it doesn't really do anything," Robbie replied.

"As I was saying," Chris yelled, angry about being interrupted "On a dark and stormy night, there was a family, a dad, a mom, and their son, and they were new in town so they had to go stay at a hotel." Chris stopped and looks around before taking a sip of his water catching weird looks from the three.

"Anyway, the family went into a small motel,"

"I thought you said they were going to a hotel." Robbie interrupted again causing Chris to give a small growl.

"Motel, hotel whatever, anyway they went into a small motel and of course the workers and manager seemed nice and friendly, but really, the only reason they opened the hotel,"

"Motel," Robbie barked

"Motel, was so that they could lure people in, poison them with food and drinks then stuff their bodies and keep them up in the attic, you want to know why, because they were crazy."

"Oh really?" Robbie said in a sarcastic tone.

"Really…" Chris replied, his seriousness not leaving his face.

"That's just a bunch of fuu," Sonic said before taking a bite out of his meal.

"SONIC NO, YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE FOR SURVIVAL, YOU CAN'T GO YET!" Sonic huffed.

"Chris be quiet you're being ridiculous," Sonic said.

"Am I?" Chris said seriously.

"Are you?" everyone jumped then, their fur standing up as well, Chris turned around to see the gold hedgehog, Matt. "Could it be that you're actually right and we did slip poison into your meal? And that we just wanted you to work for free?" Sonic choked a little before quickly spitting his food into his napkin.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Robbie yelled scared out of his mind.

"Just kidding, I just heard you talking and decided that, that would be a good time to pop in," he then started chuckling.

"That's not funny, it's not at all, besides you didn't have to look all serious about it," Robbie said, Chris looked like he was about to pass out from shock.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I guess I didn't think," he placed his hand on his cheek in a pose of a women who is trying to get something out of someone "Are you mad?"

"YES," everyone replied, well except Chris who was still trying to take in what was happening.

"Ah well, anyway there's no poison in there, I'm sure of it… well then again,"

"Shut up," Everyone interrupted, except for Chris.

"Anyway, enjoy your meals, I am leaving now, so long," he was then gone and the room was filled with silence.

"What a weird guy." Silver said before staring down at his meal, all of a sudden he wasn't hungry anymore.

---

"Bah, I swear that guy," Robbie said while putting on a jacket, Robbie, Silver, and Sonic were now going to the store, Chris was lying down in the room since he was still a little shook from the even that happened before hand.

They walked out the door and started towards the stores.

"I can't believe we have to go shopping for this guy, after he did that to us," Robbie said while playing with the zipper on his jacket.

"Hey, no complaining," Sonic said "he is giving us money isn't he?" Robbie sighed.

"I guess so, but a still don't like him." The walk to the store was now silent they walked, stopped at the red light, walked, stopped to wait for Silver to tie his shoe, walked, listened to Robbie complain about the gum that got stuck on his shoe, walked, listened to Robbie complain about how the temperature was changing first it being hot then cold, walked, stopped at a red light, walked, listened to Sonic complain about how Robbie was complaining too much, then finally they were at the store.

"Yay finally, we're here," Silver said happily, the three walked in and started looking around for the items on the list, it's been a while since Silver has been near a lot of people in one room so he was kind of self conscious.

Sonic was now looking at green peppers and other vegetables when something happened that the three did not expect would.

"Ah, my feet are starting to hurt," Silver said quietly as he started standing on one foot putting weight on it then the other.

"Yeah, mine too, hey Sonic, how much longer are we going to be here?" they saw that Sonic had sighed causing them to sigh also, they knew they were going to be here for a while longer than they expected.

It was then when it happened, Sonic was getting slightly irritated trying to figure out which type of pepper to actually get when someone bumped into him, Silver and Robbie's ears both pricked up and they immediately ran over to help.

"Ow, ow, ow," Said the person on the ground who was holding her head.

"Hey, watch where you're going,"

"Sonic," Silver said in a slight scolding tone.

"Its funny how his personality can completely change even when he's irritated at the smallest thing," Robbie said to himself even though mostly everyone could hear.

"I'm so sorry," Said the voice as she stood up then turned around, she was a pink hedgehog with green eyes, and she looked pretty nice.

"Eh, it's alright," Sonic said before turning towards the peppers once again.

"Hey, are you, Sonic?" Sonics ears perked up along with the two boys.

"Yeah, why?" She huffed then.

"Well the way he told me about you I figured you'd be a lot nicer." She said Sonic blinked.

"Huh, Who?" Sonic asked.

"He's nice he's just in a bad mood." Robbie said.

"Shadow, he said that you were annoying but cool, a really nice person." Silver would have chocked on a drink if he was drinking anything, but instead he just gaped along with the other two.

'S-Shadow?' Silver thought to himself, and as if Sonic could read his mind he replied.

"Shadow? You mean ebony, red streaked Shadow? The one who looks like he would be very mean, you know the 'bad boy' type but is actually, what do I say, normal?" She laughed a little.

"Yeah him, it really is a shame that he moved all the way to Almsbush, its sad actually," Silver could have sworn he actually heard something in his head tick.

'Almsbush?' Silver thought. Sonic then took over once again.

"Where in Almsbush?" Sonic asked she just stared at him.

"I don't really know, he didn't tell me," the three sighed then began to mentally sob, "I'm sorry, but maybe I might know someone who Shadow did tell, if you give me your phone number I can call you if I find out something," now that was a problem, "hmm what wrong?"

"Well you see," Sonic started, there was a soft laugh like sound in his voice and what Silver and Robbie believed was a slight blush "Could you actually come to a motel, we're staying there until we can get enough money… for something." Silver and Robbie couldn't help but laugh at how embarrassed Sonic was.

"Oh okay," she said understanding, "well then just tell me the address, and oh yeah, I'm Amy Rose, nice to meet you."

No Almsbush is not a real place XD Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and yes there as randomness here and there but mostly because it would be boring to just stay on one thing, well for me anyway, I need to move around a little.
