Amy and Cream were spending some time at the mall looking through windows, and occasionally shop for clothes, or accessories. Amy was carrying two backs in one hand, and a larger back on her other arm. Cream the same, but one bag in hand, and two bigger bags on each arm. They continued to laugh at several things as they walked through the floors of the three story mall.

Cream laughed loudly when Amy had told her that she literally had Sonic watch baby Shadow for the time being, "Are you kidding me? Sonic is so funny when it comes to chili dogs!" she laughed.

Amy giggled herself, "I know! At least he'll be able to maybe get along with him then in his usual form." she said turning her head to the side to see more stores to venture in. Cream nodded.

"Yeah. Hey, why is he staying at your house still?" she asked.

Before she could answer, she noticed something interesting to get. Amy quickly rushed off leaving her friend behind confused into a small doll making store. 'Build a Doll' is what the store was called, something like 'Build a Bear Workshop', only instead, they make dolls. Cream quickly ran inside to follow her friend wondering why she would want to go into a store like that. Sure she had a collection of them at home, but not that much like a little child.

Amy was now up at the register talking with a blond human, "Oh yes, you can create what you wish for your doll." the human smiled at her.

Nodding to her, Amy took out her bilfold and held up two twenties and handed them to her, "If it's no trouble, I like to have a small one with this?" she asked.

The human reached over and took the money looking over them before handing it back to her, "A forty is a little small here, but I think I have a good doll for you to make." she told her as she walked around the counter and made her way over to a nearby wall of doll bodies to stuff.

Cream, who stood there confused still, cleared her throat to get her attention, "What are you doing, Amy?" she asked.

Amy only smiled at her with a wink, "Oh...you'll see in a minute." she chirped before walking over to lady ready to start.

The little bunny stood while watching her from afar choosing one of the bodies for her doll, "Oh dear." she sighed, "I do hope mr Sonic is doing alright.".

"Hey! Stop moving! OW!"

While the girls were having a fun time at the mall, Sonic was having a hard time himself back home. Baby Shadow was doing whatever he could to make him miserably. Sonic was trying to get him to stop biting him when all he was doing was nothing. Baby Shadow was in the living room playing with some toy blocks Amy had given him, but noticed that his blue rival was resting on the couch. He curiously crawled over to him dumping his blocks behind. He saw his large hand dangling off the side of the couch with his fingers touching the floor.

A smile crept up on his tiny muzzle seeing a good opetunity to see how soft if is again. Opening his mouth wide, baby Shadow leaned in, then bit down on his hand. Immeidately, Sonic's eyes widened feeling a deep, familiar pain on his hand, "OW!" he hollard sitting up to see the baby's mouth knawing on his fingers.

Now, Sonic was on the floor pulling his hand away from baby Shadow hard. How can a little baby like that have a good grip on something like his hand? Oh yeah, it's Shadow, Come on, damnit! Let go!" Sonic yelled grabbing his wrist with his other hand and pulling harder.

The baby wasn't letting go. In fact, he was enjoying his torture. Sonic knew that he was enjoying since it was Shadow in a miniature size infant. He also knows not to swear since Amy has lectured him about that many times since he was turned, "Come on! I said...LET GO!".

Just like that, baby Shadow quickly opened his mouth to let him go. Sonic immediately rolled back having the top of his head meeting with the side of the coffee table. A loud grunt was heard following with a few groans as he held his head in pain. Baby Shadow watched him curiously seeing him on his side holding his head. He tilted his head to the side.

Slowly, he crawled up to him on all fours up to his face. Sonic had his eyes closed tightly unawhere of who was right up to him. He slowly opened them up to see the baby's red eyes almost up to his, "Gah!" he yelped jumping away from him and crawled back on his hands like the 'crab walk'. Poor baby Shadow only stayed where he was unsure of what he did, and why he moved away from him.

Sonic only stared at him to see his eyes start to water having his fear grow faster, "Oh no...".

Baby Shadow shut his eyes and wailed out loud making the blue blur cover his ears. Now he did it. Of course, it wasn't his fault, the baby shouldn't have bit him in the first place. But, he is still a baby, no matter if he's fifty years old trapped in a small infant's body. Sighing to himself, Sonic stood up and walked up to the crying hedgling. He knelt down, and picked him up in his arms before standing back up, "It's ok.." he said softly, but sarcastically.

Baby Shadow continued to cry on his shoulder not sensing any sort of heartwarming from his tone. Sonic rolled his eyes, "Come on." he groaned.

Somehow, deep, deep, deep inside, he was feeling guilty about him. How he was like this and might be a baby the rest of his life if Tails won't be able to chang him. Leaving Amy alone to take care of him instead of him taking care of her. With another long sigh, he started to gently stroke his back in a soothing manner, "It's ok...it's ok." he whispered.

Feeling the soft touch like Amy's, baby Shadow started to slowly stop crying. Seeing that it's working, Sonic continued to rub his back hoping that it'll help a little. The hoglet was now sniffing up the last of his tears after a few minutes of soothing motions. Sonic stopped after he heard the last of his whimper slowly die down. He pulled him off holding him now in his arms like Amy does.

Baby Shadow looked up at him with a few bits of tears in his eyes still. Sonic chuckled a little, "You know, your actually kinda cute." he admitted, "For a stubborn guy who got changed into a baby.".

The baby only stared at him with big red eyes. He slowly moved his tiny hand up to him confusing the holder. Sonic watched as his hand moved up higher to him, then grabbed his needle nose surprising him at first. Baby Shadow giggled happily tugging a bit. Sonic sighed sadly.

"Your hopeless..." he spoke in a tiny pitch.

Hey! First, I'm sorry for being so late. I'm actually in the middle of moving this coming week. So you'll have to wait again. Just for a while. Second, it's another anniversary for the 911 attacks. To those who are in grief still, I pray that you will be alright, and pray for those who lost their lives from the plane crashes and buildings. May God be with you all.
