Sonic,Silver and Shadow were still in Maria's room that night. They were watching her type up a story for her friends, she looked at Sonic who was wagging his fluffy tail wildly.
(What are you doing Maria?) Sonic purred.
"Hi Sonic, are you happy here?" Maria asked as she petted him and started to save her story and shut down the computer.
Sonic and Silver ran over to the bed and curled up while Shadow walked slowly to the bed and yawned.
(Well, as long as no other werehog is joining us, we will be fine.) Shadow sighed and feel asleep.
Maria went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and get ready for bed, then she got on her PJ's and went to bed.
"Good night guys." Maria said as she got into bed and fell asleep.
Silver was dreaming about bad people taking him down with a baseball bat. He was hit and knocked out.
Silver woke up with another howl and Sonic whined in his sleep.
Shadow growled and woke up, then he slashed Silver in the head again.
(It's only a dream shoe brain!) Shadow growled and fell asleep again.
Sonic was dreaming of evil souls taking him away, he didn't wake up until morning and he howled so loud that Shadow got out of bed and ran down stairs. Silver felt crushed under Sonic's weight.
(Are we grown up now? Has it really been months?) Silver wondered as he got up and noticed his own size.
(Where is Shadow?) Sonic purred.
(Down stairs.) Silver answered.
Maria was getting out of bed to get ready for her day out with her friends, she was going to bring Sonic, Silver, and Shadow with her.
Shadow was lying down on the chair, Maria looked at him as she came down stairs.
"Look how big you are Shadow." Maria said as Espio was at her door again.
Maria walked towards the door and opened it, Espio was standing there looking at her.
"You liar! Your Maria, Eggman Nega gave me a hint about you. Your coming with us now!" Espio said as he tried to grab her but Shadow leaped in the way and growled at him.
"Leave me alone! Shadow get him!" Maria cried as Shadow clawed at Espio.
Silver and Sonic joined in, they also protected Maria. Silver growled, showing his sharp fangs at Espio. Sonic bit his legs and he gave up.
"Grrr...Next time I will be back!" Espio grunted as he ran off, he was bleeding a little bit.
Shadow purred as he walked back in the house and purred.
"Good job Shadow, you too Sonic and Silver. You guys are the best." Maria said as she hugged them.
Silver howled in happiness while Sonic licked her hands. Shadow walked over to the chair and sat down, he was sure that Espio was trying to take her away.
Silver was watching Shadow groom himself, then he did the same thing.
Chadly came down stairs and noticed the huge werehogs sitting next to his daughter.
"Holy cow! They are so big!" Chadly gasped.
"I know, but please let me keep them!" Maria begged.
"They can stay, but you need to find a bigger bed and food bowls that they could use now." Chadly said.
Shadow went up stairs followed by Sonic and Silver, he was looking for his own bed since they all can't fit in one bed together.
Silver found a huge laundry basket that he could sleep in, it was old and Maria never used it because she had a new one from her father.
Shadow found a big easter basket that he could sleep in, he dragged it out in his mouth and Maria put blankets in it.
Sonic found a rug to sleep on, he dragged over to Silver's new bed and placed it down. He liked sleeping with Silver a lot. Shadow looked at Sonic with annoyance.
(Why is he always with Silver?) Shadow wondered.
Silver was playing around in the laundry basket while Sonic joined in and they clawed at each other playfully.
Shadow howled and they both stopped, they were like frozen ice looking at Shadow.
(Can you two play else where?) Shadow asked.
(Nope! We like this game!) Silver purred.
(Yeah dude!) Sonic smiled.
(Whatever!) Shadow walked away and went over to Maria and licked her hands and purred.
Silver and Sonic looked at each other then back at the window, then they clawed at each other again.
Maria took out three leashes and chained one on Sonic, one on Shadow and one on Silver.
"You guys need to get more, so how about a walk in the park?" Maria asked.
Silver nodded while Shadow tried to bite the leash off, Sonic also agreed on the walk.
"Come on Shadow, you need to get some air. Silver and Sonic want to go so bad." Maria begged as Shadow sighed and walked out the door with them.
Silver and Sonic looked around while Shadow looked forward not paying attention to the rest of nature outside.
Maria's friends were wating for her.
"Hey Maria." A girl with a yellow shirt greeted her.
"Hi Penny!" Maria called.
"Hi Maria!" A girl with a red shirt and perfect looking hair smiled.
"Hi Grace!" Maria called to her.
"What type of dogs are those?" Penny asked.
"Oh they're not dogs, they're werehogs." Maria explained.
"Really? The Silver one looks so cute." Grace said as she walked up to Silver and petted him.
Silver purred and licked her hands.
"He's really friendly." Grace smiled.
"I like the blue one. He's the cutest." Penny said as she petted Sonic, he purred.
Shadow walked up to the girls and whined.
"Aw... Even he's cute too." Grace squealed with excitement as she and Penny petted Shadow together.
Shadow purred and smiled, his sharp fangs showing.
Silver sniffed the ground.
"So Maria, are you planning on coming to game night?" Penny asked.
"I don't know, my dad is going to work and my pets will be at home alone." Maria answered not really knowing.
"Well, you could call a babysitter to baby sit your werehogs." Grace suggested.
"I think I will go. Shadow, Silver, and Sonic are friends to each other so I don't think a mess would happen." Maria replied.
"Okay, we will meet you there on Friday?" Penny asked.
"Yes. You guys will see me there." Maria answered.
Silver wanted to go too, he whined.
"No Silver, it's only people. Pets are not allowed inside of the place." Maria explained.
Silver drooped his ears and whined.
"Aw come on Silver, you the house to yourself while we are out." Maria said trying to keep Silver calm.
Shadow was waiting for Maria to finish her conversation with her friends so they could go home.
"Well Maria, I hope we will see you again." Grace said.
"Me too." Maria replied as she walked her werehogs home for the day.
Sonic was walking faster than Shadow, he was excited. Silver was still whining, he didn't want to be left at home while Maria was out. He realized that Espio tried to take her away a few moments ago.
Shadow growled in annoyance at Silver.
(What a baby!) Shadow sighed.
Silver didn't hear what he said.
Sonic was too busy looking around and watching cars go by, as they got to the house, Maria opened the door and she took them off of their leashes.
Shadow ran up stairs and took a nap in his new bed. Sonic was relaxing in the chair that Shadow claimed, Silver was still whining.
Maria was petting him to make him feel better.
"It's okay Silver, your old enough to stay home alone. My friends need me as well, I will be back at 10:00 P.M, and I'm leaving at 9:00 P.M, so it's only an hour long." Maria explained.
Silver believed her and purred with a few tears coming from his eyes.
"Oh it's okay. Tomorrow you guys have to be good." Maria said.
Silver howled and ran up stairs. Maria sat next to Sonic in the chair and petted him for a while.
Sonic purred and put his head in her lap.
Chadly came down stairs and he was off to work again, his boss was stupid.
In the city...
"Espio you idiot! Why did you leave the girl there!" Eggman Nega shouted.
"She had help from a pack of werehogs! I couldn't fight them." Espio sighed.
"You idiot! You can't do anything right!" Eggman Nega growled and slammed on the keys.
Espio jumped back and sat still.
"You will shoot those stupid werehogs with this!" Eggman Nega said as he took out a gun and gave it to Espio.
"Thanks sir, I will shoot them before they bite me again." Espio snickered and ran off.
Metal Sonic and Eggman Nega looked at hi while they drew out plans for Maria.
"Once I have that girl, she will be worth millions of dollars! Hahahahahahaha!" Eggman Nega laughed.
Oh no! Maria is in trouble again, and this time, Espio has weapons to kill Silver, Shadow, and Sonic with it. Will they be able to protect Maria again? Find out in chapter 6!
