"We're going to visit Shadow for our vacation, guys," Sonic told Tails and Knuckles, as he packed his bag.

"How, do you know where he is? After the world grand prix Shadow left without saying a word," Tails said. Sonic smiled at them.

"I know where he went. He said something about getting free," Sonic answered. Knuckles and Tails just nodded, not knowing what he was talking about.

"So where is he?" Knuckles asked.

"In the Amazon," Sonic replied. Tails and Knuckles's eyes widened.

"We're going to the Amazon for our vacation?!" Tails exclaimed. Knuckles shook his head.

"No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no," Knuckles continued to shake his head.

"Come on guys, it'll be fun," Sonic said with a grin.

"Why can't we go to Brazil?" Tails asked. "Or Rome?"

"Or Paris?" Knuckles asked.

"Or Hawaii?" Tails asked.

"Or Egypt?" Knuckles asked.

"Or Canada?" Tails asked.

"I don't think so," Sonic told them. "Going to the Amazon is way more fun,"

"You want to go to the Amazon so we can get diseases or get killed?" Tails asked with panic in his voice. Sonic chuckled.

"Nope, we're going to visit Shadow," Sonic responded.

"Don't you realize how dangerous the Amazon is?" Knuckles asked. Sonic ignored him.

"We'll have fun, now come on," Sonic walked out of the room and Tails and Knuckles just followed him.

Sonic took a seat next to Tails at the airport and handed him a water bottle. Tails took it and started drinking it. Knuckles stood in front of them. "I still think going to the Amazon is a terrible idea, Sonic," Knuckles told Sonic. Sonic chuckled.

"It's not terrible, it's great. We have to see an old friend once in awhile," Sonic answered.

"Sonic," Tails said.

"Yes?" Sonic asked.

"If we die it's your fault," Tails replied.

"We're not going to die," Sonic said.

When they arrived at the Amazon no one was there and the airplane left quickly. Nobody wasn't even in the airplane with them. That made Tails and Knuckles even more nervous. Sonic motioned for them to follow him into the Amazon forest. Tails and knuckles hesitated then followed Sonic inside. "This is nice," Sonic looked around, as he walked.

"More like deadly," Tails corrected Sonic. Sonic rolled his eyes.

"Do you know where Shadow lives?" Knuckles asked with a frown. Sonic shook his head and Tails and Knuckles gasped loudly.

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE HE LIVES???" Tails asked with a panic in his voice. Sonic shook his head again.

"We have to look for him," Sonic simply replied. Tails and Knuckles groaned and they continued walking.

After seven hours of walking threw the Amazon and avoiding being eaten by Tigers and Crocodiles they reached a small poor village with huts everywhere. Sonic smiled brightly with relief. "Finally..." Sonic breathed.

"Yeah, finally," Tails folded his arms angrily.

"We spent seven hours walking and I'm starving," Knuckles complained.

"Don't worry, I'm sure..." Sonic didn't get to finish because he was embraced by Shadow The Hedgehog himself. Sonic was very surprised. Shadow doesn't hug anyone.

"Ah Sonic, I'm so glad you guys made it!" Shadow exclaimed with delight. Suddenly all of the villagers came out of the huts. The problem was that all the villagers looked exactly like Shadow, even the females. Tails and Knuckles just stared at them wide eyed. Shadow let go of Sonic and smiled brightly.

"Uh...hey Shadow," Sonic said quietly.

"Oh, don't call me Shadow, my new name is Shad Shua," Shadow answered with a goofy grin.

"Oookay..." Sonic said. Tails was shocked and Knuckles was snickering silently behind Tails.

"Are you joking around with us, Shadow?" Tails asked, still looking shocked. Shadow shook his head and looked serious now.

"No, the Amazon has changed me," Shadow replied. "The Amazon has changed my name and also my style,"

Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles examined Shadow from head to toe. He was wearing what Tarzan was wearing and had no gloves or shoes on. Knuckles burst out laughing and Tails put his hand over his mouth to keep from laughing. Sonic smiled a little, trying not to laugh. "Oh...so...how's it going?" Sonic asked, still trying not to laugh. Shadow smiled.

"Things are good here, I've learned to be natural," Shadow answered. Knuckles finally stopped laughing and sighed.

"Do you have food because I'm starving!" Knuckles exclaimed. Shadow grinned brightly.

"Of course! We just prepared your dinners!" Shadow exclaimed joyfully.

"Cool," Sonic said.

"Excellent, I hope it's something good," Tails rubbed his hands together hungrily.

"I can't wait," Knuckles said happily.
