Chapter 7, confetti
A/N
Shadow: *gestures for Silhouette to come* Hi!
Silhouette: Got it! Hello everyone!
Shadow: sooo...
Silhouette: what?
Shadow: What happens?
Silhouette: you'll find out.
Shadow: ugh! Oh, and also just for the people out there that doubt... Odin is very scary; not intimidating, he's the silent, but deadly one; the 'I will do anything to protect you, but if you do something wrong; you'll never live it down' type. *whispers* he will haunt you. *normal voice* especially if you're his step son.
Silhouette: Nice, Shadow. Very Nice. *rolls eyes*
Shadow: how did you live with Him for that long?
Silhouette: ... I ...didn't. Can't more like it. Doom made it impossible for me to.
Shadow: so how are you still alive?
Silhouette: I'm free to travel anywhere, whenever I need to get away; I'll explain more later.
Shadow: that's right... Chaos Control.
Silhouette: where are you going?
Shadow: Nowhere until I find out whether or not I'm going to be the main course for supper in Asgard.
Silhouette: oookay then. Let's all read about how Shadow is going to handle telling Odin and still surviving.
Shadow: No. No No. He's gotta come to Mobius if I'm telling Him. I'M NOT LEAVING!
Silhouette: Good luck with that. ON WITH THE STORY!

everything was a blur. Shadow could always depend on his senses, but now everything was all running together. 'Was it all real?' he thought to himself. 'I didn't think that we were really... Almost twins. I thought it was a mind game that I keep falling for, but now...?'. He was sitting under a tree alone, thinking through things that he never really considered before.
everyone else was all together sitting next to Knuckles' half way built house on the grass. Blaze was trying to cheer up Silver. Tails, Knuckles, and Sonic where with Blaze, and Silver. Sonic was laying down resting, but still was kinda upset for his friends.
"I'm fine, Blaze! Really!" Silver said wishing she would stop. "Don't let me stop you from building; please continue." He said standing up and gesturing towards the house, before making his way over to sit next to Shadow.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"How ya Doin'?"
Shadow shrugged
Silver leaned against the tree watching his friends build the house. "we're gonna be okay." He told his friend.
Shadow nodded leaning up against the tree as well."it's kinda fuzzy; my memory, but I think the last time I missed someone this bad after they died was Maria."
"For me it was probably my parents."
"Humm..." Shadow realized what he had just admitted "what are we doing: confession time?" He asked Silver. the white hedgehog shrugged. "okay then... Let's see... My father's a demon, I have no idea what my shoe size is, I consider you a friend, I am slowly gathering bit and pieces of my past, and I have no love interests."
Silver Smiled at Shadow, and nodded. He thought that this was probably a good thing that he cleared his mind even though he wasn't expecting him to do it like that. Shadow returned the look, and half smiled.
"my turn?"
He nodded
"Let's see... What did you cover... Umm, my parents are... Dead, I think they're both hedgehogs; hmm.. I don't know my shoe size either; Blaze was my first friend, but I think of you as my friend; my past mainly involved destroying Iblis over, and over, and over; my love interest... I wouldn't call it 'Love' but it would have been Silhouette."
in the distance, the sound of giggling, and people shushing one another was heard.
"I didn't know your parents were dead. Although it might have been a good thing. My parents were crazy confusing; one kept kicking Maria, and Me out of his office, while the other one traveled, and was at some times several thousands of light years away." Shadow said recalling the memory Silhouette had shown him when they hacked into the Space Colony A.R.K.'s security tapes.
"What you two talkin' about?" A girls voice asked from behind the tree on Silver's side. Neither of the boys looked at who it was they could've cared less at this point. "Stuff." They both said almost in unison.
"can I sit with you?" She asked.
"sure." Silver said patting the empty grassy space next to him.
there was a few seconds of silence before Silver looked at Shadow, and asked "I thought you were created in a lab, and didn't have parents?"
"Black Doom wanted a son; three tries later... He got me... Kinda. I'm a rebellious little child." Shadow responded with a childish evil smile.
Silver chuckled. Then Sonic appeared from behind the wall of the house. He was obviously pushed out there by someone, they could tell by the reaction he gave back to the person who shoved him before walking out a few steps. "HOW LONG DID IT TAKE THEM?" Sonic yelled at them
Shadow and Silver exchanged glances.
"THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT!" The girl yelled back.
Silver and Shadow looked at who had joined them. Both of them were shocked, and speechless to see Silhouette sitting there. Silver glanced back at Shadow to make sure he wasn't going delirious.
"I THINK THEY KNOW NOW!" Silhouette yelled at Sonic before Silver started hugging her extremely tight. "I missed you, too." She said hugging him back not as tightly though. "this is sweet." She continued. Silver didn't let go, or loosen his grip as Sonic ran up to them. "Okay, I can't breath Anymore, Silver. ...Silver? ...Air is kinda important." She said, but Silver didn't budge. "Okay, so air isn't that important, but air FLOW is! Silver? ...I'm ...Blacking out now." She gasped between trying to get air. Silver finally released her. She fell over on her back and gasped deeply. Then she started laughing "I missed you too." She repeated.
"why did you fake your death?" he asked
"she didn't," Sonic answered. "We checked on her while you guys were over here, and she had no pulse, and she wasn't breathing."
"then how..." silver wondered
Shadow leaned against the tree again, and sighed loudly with relief, and started laughing. He was relieved that his freedom to live without the Allfather haunting him for the rest of his life; had been restored!
Sonic was surprised to see him do that,"Whoa! I didn't know you knew how to laugh!"
Shadow stood up, and offered to help Silhouette up, and helped her stand up as Silver stood up as well.
"Well now that we're all present, and accounted for, I do believe Silver has something to say." Sonic said as the four mobines walked back to the house.
"I... Do?" Silver asked The Blue Blur.
"Kinda unexpected, but usually she says it first, and with more confidence." Blue teased him
"NO! That's not what I meant! umm... Sil... Uh, welcome back." He stuttered. Sonic face palmed. Silhouette smiled and thanked him.
"Anything else?" Sonic hinted. Shadow gesturing towards Silhouette until she looked behind her then he froze with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Am I missing something?" She asked turning back towards Silver; he shrugged.
"OH, come on! you did not just spend the last three days inside that room to turn around now!" Sonic exclaimed. Shadow gave Silver an approved look, and the hedgehog turned a shade whiter than he already was.
"what have you done? He looks like he's seen a ghost." Silhouette said surprised he could even get whiter.
"C-C-Can I ask her- ...w-without you two staring me down?" The pale white hedgehog asked.
Sonic smiled "Sure!" He said running around them, pushing the now annoyed Shadow away from them.
"so?" Blaze asked "what was there ...uh your reaction?" As the two rounded the Corner
Sonic's huge smile almost completely vanished when he saw Blaze. "You and Silver weren't going out were you?" He asked.
not expecting that Blaze hesitantly said "N-No. Why? Is he finally asking Silhouette?" Her voice becoming very happy, and almost relieved.
"YEAH! Wait... Finally?" Sonic repeated now wondering how long he had been waiting to ask.
"He didn't, and seems like he will never forget the first time they met; when she helped him defeat Iblis. He hasn't stopped talking about her since, but what kept him back was asking you, Shadow if he could."
"so that's what happened when they met." Shadow said to himself; turning around to meet the two hedgehogs approaching.
"well, is it settled?" Tails asked eagerly wanting them to officially say it, but everyone knew what she said by the big smiles on there faces.
Silhouette nodded. Blaze winked at Silver.
"Alright! Now what?" Silhouette asked talking about the house; thinking That was What they we're doing before they came up.
"Silver, and you do something fun together. Duh." Knuckles said. Silhouette's face turned red, and she hid it in her hands.
'Beep'
Shadow pulled out his communicator, and Eggman had sent him A message. Silhouette pulled her's out as well, and read the message. 'Shadow, we're regrouping at the base to welcome our newest members, and probably your new partner since you other one is gone. So come immediately!'
"How long was I passed out?"
"Three days," Sonic answered "and Silver was always there."
"Yes! I got that, but what else happened? Did the teleporter work?"
"Teleporter!?" Sonic exclaimed "So Eggman IS planning something!" he started getting excited "what is it another 'Eggman-land' scheme?"
Shadow smirked evilly up at Sonic "you'll see." He taunted.
Silver peeked on the screen of Silhouette's communicator. "I thought you already met Loki."
Silhouette jerked her head up and looked at Silver almost worried "Who?" She demanded he repeat. Shadow shook his head "you weren't suppose to tell them yet."
"Shadow. The. Hedgehog! Who is here?" Silhouette yelled repeating the question.
Sonic smirked at Silhouette getting on to The Faker. Shadow shook his head saying 'Nothing'. The First Ultimate Life Form sighed; glared at him very annoyed at her brother. "If you won't tell me I'll find out myself"
"NO! WAIT!" Shadow tried stopping her
"CHAOS CONTROL!" And she disappeared in a flash of red light.
Shadow reached to get caught in the Chaos Control too, but grasped air. He clenched his fist. Looking at Silver he said "She'll be fine. Stay put, and don't mention that name again." Then he Chaos Controlled away.
0000000000
Silhouette reappeared in Eggman's base entrance. She took off down the hall. Shadow reappearing right behind her. Hovering down the halls not far behind her. Silhouette was trying to go faster than him, but when they reached the room the Doctor was in; Silhouette came to a sudden stop resulting in Shadow running into her, and the both of them tumbling farther into the hall.
when they hit the ground Shadow had pinned Silhouette down. "GET OFF ME!" She yelled."Shhh... I was going to tell you, but you were out for the moment, and Loki is-" Shadow was explaining when the Asgardian came out into the hall and saw them. "Here." Shadow finished Getting off his Sister, and helped her up.
Silhouette crossed her arms over her chest. Still somewhat angry no one told her before. Loki smiled at the two almost identical hedgehogs. "You must be Shadow's Sister. I am Loki of Asgard, but you can just call me Loki."
"Silhouette." She introduced herself.
"Is everyone Ready?" Eggman asked motioning to them to come in.
Shadow, Loki, and Silhouette entered the room. The room had streamers hanging from the ceiling, and a few hand made string poppers 'fireworks' sitting on the desk amongst the technical equipment.
"Doctor, why are we having a 'welcoming party' for Loki if he's been here for three days already?" Shadow asked wondering why he kept getting more streamers, and putting them up for not so special occasions, like his birthday, and kept them up there, or replaced them if he tore them down.
"Loki is getting the surprising news too, but before I say anything we're waiting on Metal Sonic to come back with Him."
Shadow walked over to the poppers.
"How can you tell them apart?" Loki asked Eggman
"the annoying one with gold, or Silver highlights and clothes is Silhouette; Shadow is the one who keeps losing his memory."
"Gee, Doctor. what a nice way to remember me." Shadow said sarcastically to himself as he pulled the string to one of the noisemakers, and it's confetti inside was scattered all over the desk.
"Don't Do that! we need those for later!" Eggman told the Ultimate Life Form.
"Need?" Shadow asked doubtfully Picking up another one. "And I do remember most of my past."
"Oh really? What did you make on your first real Easter?" Eggman quizzed him. Shadow looked at Eggman as if he had lost his mind. "Umm how do YOU know what I made on my first Easter?"
"It's in my Grandfather's diary."
Shadow face palmed. "I painted eggs, With Maria; we made a basket with the finished eggs, and gave it to the Professor."
"aww.." Silhouette said
Shadow chunked the noisemaker at his sister, she caught it easily.
Loki smiled amused at the sibling rivalry.
"I still can't believe you didn't tell me about Him" Silhouette said slightly gesturing towards Loki.
"You've heard of me?" Loki asked surprised that the tiny pathetic hamster being could recall such a person when she had so many memorable people on the planet already such as Humpty Dumpty, and R2-D2.
"of course!"
"I doubt that..."
"for example; you have a Sonic, and Shadow the Hedgehog plush toys sitting next to your bed."
"I... Didn't... She... H-H-How did... Ya know what, Never mind." Loki stuttered "I'm going to keep a close eye on you."
Shadow pulled the string to another one of the poppers. Loki looked over at the hedgehog'a somewhat embarrassed expression. Loki's face now turning several shades of red.
"I'm going to... Pretend That you denied that to the end of your being, and ignore it"
Silhouette snuck up behind Shadow and pulled the string to the popper behind his head, covering the black and red hedgehogs with confetti. Shadow reached for the clod test thing he could grab; turning around, and fired it at her, covering them both in more confetti.
Silhouette clapped her hands slowly taunting her brother. Shadow looked down at the popper he had grabbed. He chunked it at her, and it went straight through her as she phased through it.
Shadow exclaimed annoyed at her ability to do that.
"Don't be jealous little brother..."
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Shadow sighed "don't you have something else to do?"
"like what? ...oh that." She said realizing that she just left Silver 'standing there' "I... Uh gotta go! Bye!" She said Chaos Controlling away.
"what was that about?" Eggman asked.
"She got herself a Boyfriend." Shadow said smiling inwardly to himself as he picked up another popper. Eggman snatched if out of his hands along with the last two the Ultimate Life Form picked up.
"These Are For Later!" Eggman said handing one to Loki.
the Asgardian looked over the popper amused that an 'evil genius' like Eggman used poppers, and still threw parties.
"you don't get one." Eggman told Shadow
"Good!" The black blur smirked
the door slid open with Metal Sonic standing there. The Robot looked out into the hall, and nodded before entering the room. Eggman handed Metal a popper. he stared confused at the thing his boss had given him, "this does not compute." Metal Sonic said looking up towards the Genius.
"Just pull the string when he comes in. He is ready isn't he?" Eggman instructed.
"Issai!" Metal shouted
"Huh?" Shadow wondered as the dark blue hedgehog with tan tipped quills, a red highlight strip like Shadow on the top of his head, with black fur covering half his back and arms giving a jacket like effect.
"You." Shadow whispered to himself recognizing the little devil as everyone else pulled the strings to there poppers, confetti went everywhere (like it wasn't everywhere already)
the Dark Blue Blur walked in brushing off the confetti that fell on his head.
"Welcome, Issai. I am Doctor Eggman. This is my Headquarters."
"Doctor." Issai repeated looking at the others in the room. He laughed quietly to himself as he saw Shadow.
"Good luck, Knave!" Shadow said walking Past the new comer, bumping into him slightly.
"Shadow?" Eggman called
"how's your head?" Issai asked recalling the last time he saw him.
"if I were you. I would worry about my own head instead of the one you almost blew off." Shadow said as the door closed behind him.
"what happened?" Loki asked referring to the incident between the two hedgehogs
"Shadow left." Issai answered. "And you are?"

Silver, Sonic, and the others had gotten most of the walls up on the house now. Sonic and Silver were working together.
Knuckles and Tails leveled the frame. Blaze mixed the concrete. Silver would use his psychokinesis to move the bricks while Sonic placed the bricks.
Sonic had finished each wall in record time, "not that I'm prying or anything, but where are you gunna take Sil on your first date?"
"I don't think I've gotten that far yet. I'm still kinda surprised Shadow let me." Silver said putting the bricks down.
"This one's ready, Sonic." Tails informed his best friend.
Sonic started building as soon as Blaze gave him more concrete. Finishing it in seconds, the blue blur sat in the next pile of bricks Silver had set up.
"Soo..."
"I told you, I really don't know."
"be creative. What do you like to do?"
"I like... Helping..."
"that's one thing you both have in common."
"I like... Peace."
"most people do."
"I like... Reading."
"that's nice. I like reading every now, and then too."
"I like... Freedom."
"who doesn't?"
"I like... Challenging you."
"and I like accepting said challenges, but the point is to have fun, and do something memorable."
"We could... Eat... Food?"
Sonic face palmed "okay, if it's somewhere you don't usually go, that would be a good memory."
"Well, what does she like? You seem to know her pretty well."
"she likes traveling. ...helping ...peace ...freedom ...challenging anyone ...Going on adventures ...Her friends, and family-"
"Don't forget Music, Games, and serenity." Silhouette added reappearing next to the blue blur. "What we talkin' 'bout?"
Silver :)

Shadow hovered up to the gates of the secret military base otherwise known as the Guardian Units of the Nation Aka G.U.N.
Shadow punched in his agent number security code, unlocking the gate, and the door slid open. Shadow entered, looking over the fields of multiple humans all dressed alike, training.
~FlashBack~
running through the halls of space colony A.R.K. Being chased by the same devision he was now working for.
"MARIA!" He shouted seeing his best friend cornered, and threatened by a Government G.U.N. Agent with a gun. The soldier turned pointing the gun towards him.
*BANG*
~B.T.R.~
(back to reality)
"You lost?" A voice asked as Shadow snapped back to reality, and realized that it was the commander of G.U.N. Abraham towers.
"No." Shadow answered Simply.
"let's walk." The commander said starting to walk. Shadow followed him. "Have you had any more leads With the mission I gave you?"
"If you won't even say the name of the mission, that usually means we need to discus this in private." Shadow said slowing down, and walking next to the commander. The two of them came closer to the entrance.
Abraham smiled at Shadow "just seeing if you remembered."
Shadow sighed. He knew Abraham knew that he'd never forget all the training he went through, and the knowledge about this stuff that was developed in his mind before he was born.
They went into the commander's office. Shadow gasped lightly, and froze in the doorway.
~flashback~
Maria was standing by her working Grandfather with the game Monopoly begging for him to play with her. She let out a small squeal when Shadow came in the room.
"Grandfather?" Maria said staring at the Ultimate Life Form.
"Maria, I told you I'm busy right now. Ask someone else to play with you until I can." Gerald said putting the game back in his granddaughter's hands then returning to his work.
Maria slowly walked away sad. Noticing the black, and Red hedgehog again she held up the game, "Would you play with me?"
The Ultimate Life Form looked at the bright colored game "I don't know how to." He said plainly. Meaning he didn't really know what she was asking by "play"or "have fun with actual people, and multicolored boxes"
Maria's face lit up like a Christmas tree "That okay! I'll teach you! It's a lot of fun!" She said motioning for him to come. "My name is Maria! What's yours?"
"My name- is Shadow." He hesitated not ever expecting someone to be happy around him.
recognizing that voice Gerald turned, and saw his new dangerous creation smiling friendly at his Granddaughter, and the two of them left. Maria was infinitely happier With her new friend, and Gerald was happy as long as they got along.
~B.T.R.~
Shadow slapped his hand over his eyes. "You rearranged your office." He said plainly.
"yes. I did. what about it?"
"it looks like Professor Gerald's old one on the A.R.K." Shadow said sliding his hand away, and coming in.
"Feel at home then?"
Shadow scoffed "Funny- ...Not. At least not with you here."
"i thought we put that behind us?" Abraham asked sitting down at his desk.
"we did." Shadow said. "Why did you want to see me, Commander?"
"two reasons why. First did you find out anything else about the case I gave you?"
"No. Not yet. I'm still trying to figure out how this new method of sorting evidence is suppose to help, and try to get a lead from that."
"it's not that hard. You'll figure it out. Second reason. Your Partner."
"I don't need a partner."
"You say that now. What happens when you get in a situation where you actually need one?"
"They would have been captured first." Shadow said calmly. "Is that all?"
"I have two more suspects for you." Mr. Towers said sliding two folders across his desk to Shadow.
Shadow picked them up, and nodded once. When the commander motioned for him to leave, Shadow Chaos Controlled away.
The Commander sighed. picking up the phone he signed Shadow out of the base... again.
