The next day, Silver woke up and he didn't want to come out. He was still under the bed, he didn't like they way that he attacked his own friend.

Shadow yawned and got up from his bed, then he walked over to Silver who was under the bed looking afraid of him.

(Crazy shoe brain! He can't even come out and notice that I'm fine.) Shadow growled and turned away.

Silver watched Shadow leave the room and go down stairs.

Maria was already there with her father at the table, Shadow walked over to his bowl and started eating.

"Hi Shadow, is Silver okay now?" She asked.

Shadow only growled and continued to eat.

"Fine, I'm going to check on Silver." Maria said as she left the table and went up stairs.

In the city...

Espio was still looking for Maria, he was dazed from the heat and he was tired from looking.

"Hey Espio! Did you find Maria?" Eggman Nega asked.

"No, I'm still looking." Espio replied.

"Oh, if you can't find her, then I will send Metal Sonic to scan the area for her!" Eggman Nega said feeling angry.

"Okay sir. I will continue to look." Espio replied.

In Maria's room...

Silver finally came out and look around, he wasn't afraid of Shadow anymore.

"Hi Silver, are you okay?" Maria asked.

Silver smiled and licked her hands, then he howled and ran down stairs to eat.

Shadow barley finished and he was about to walk away until Silver knocked him over by mistake.

(Hey! Watch it Silver head!) Shadow growled and walked up stairs.

(He must be upset with me again.) Silver sighed.

Chadly was getting ready for work again and he was running late.

"Sorry guys, but I have to go!" Chadly said as he rushed down stairs to say goodbye to Silver, then he was off to work.

"Bye dad!" Maria called as her dad closed the door and ran out to the car and drove off.

Silver was finished with his bowl and he kicked it away lightly and ran up stairs to apologize to Shadow.

(Sorry Shadow, I didn't mean to attack you, but you made me do it.) Silver whined and looked at Shadow with puppy eyes.

Shadow give him a little smile then he walked over to Maria's bed and jump on top of it. Silver did the same thing and looked at Maria's book.

"Oh, sorry. I was reading a book, but you guys are welcome to join me." Maria said as they looked at the words in the book.

Silver was waiting until she turned the page, but she still reading the other page.

"Well, I'm going to finish my work around the house, my dad wants my room cleaned up and the rest of the house looking great!" Maria finally said as she closed her book and ran down stairs.

Shadow and Silver exchanged glances, then they looked out of t window and saw another werehog walking across the street, it was blue with white on the tip of it's spiky head.

(Hey, is that another one or is it me?) Shadow asked.

(No, it's another werehog.) Silver purred.

(Oh no, then Maria will want that one as well.) Shadow sighed.

The werehog was lost, he looked up at Maria's house and waited by the door with it's eyes closed and it was smiling.

Maria was about to go outside until Shadow and Silvefr howled and it made her look at them.

"What? I'm only going outside to make sure that the yard is clean before my dad gets home." Maria said as she opened the door and a howl came, she looked down and noticed another werehog sitting at her doorstep.

"Hello, and where did you come from?" Maria asked as she picked it up and it purred.

The werehog also had a collar on it, which had a name printed on it. It read: Sonic.

Maria looked at his collar and noticed the name printed on it.

"So your name is Sonic." Maria smiled as she introduced him to Silver and Shadow.

Sonic howled and ran around the room like he was crazy.

Shadow and Silver stood there looking stunned.

(Great! Now we have to share our bed with this guy!) Shadow complained while Silver howled with Sonic.

Shadow looked at them with a growl rising from his throat.

Sonic ran upstairs chasing Silver around the room and he gorwled playfully. Silver growled too, then they ran down the stairs almost knocking over objects in the house.

Maria watched them, she was making sure that they were playing safely. Then she calmed them down and then she got a bowl of Sonic and poured him food from the bag.

Sonic pricked his ears and he ran over to the bowl to eat the food.

Shadow was still annoyed that Sonic had to live with them now. Silver didn't care, he wanted someone that he could trust. Someone who didn't call him a shoe brain anymore.

(Now I have a friend!) Silver smiled.

Maria was going up stairs to work on her story, she needed to finish it.

Sonic finished and kicked his bowled away and it slid into the kitchen and banged on the stove with a loud metal sound that was almost heard from up stairs.

Silver and Shadow looked at each other and ran up stairs while Sonic followed them. He was happy to be inside a house instead of on the streets.

Sonic had just entered the house where Silver and Shadow are being trained to be friends. Will Sonic also get a chance? Find out in chapter 5!
