Silhouette: first off... HAPPY EASTER!
Shadow:? Huh?
Silhouette: *hands Shadow chocolate easter bunny.* Happy Easter!
Shadow: you're willingly giving up chocolate?
Silhouette: I got it for you!
Shadow: *takes chocolate* why is it a bunny, and why is it holding an egg?
Silhouette: the bunny stands for fertility. The egg is a Christian symbol of new life. Easter itself; to me it means Hope in New life. I thought you and Maria researched it?
Shadow: we did?
Silhouette:*shrugs* well you know now.
Shadow: yep. Here Happy Easter. *pulls out a painted egg, and gives to Silhouette*
Silhouette: it's pretty!
Shadow: I was scared to get you more chocolate. So I painted an egg for you.
Silhouette: Thank you!
Shadow: one side has the logo I made for you, and the other...
Silhouette: is yours. *smiles*
Shadow: now I will read this so ON WITH THE STORY!

Silhouette really had no idea what she had been signed up for, but she was still going through with it. Since she knew almost nothing about having a boyfriend, or dating in the least she decided to ask Amy Rose.
the pink hedgehog was happy to hear that Silhouette finally had someone to be happy with.
"umm Amy?" Silhouette said "I'm not sure if you thought I was unhappy or depressed without a boyfriend but..."
"I knew you would find someone!" Amy squealed, not really hearing what Sil was saying. "So who is he!? Do I know him? Is he cute? Do you think he likes you back? What do you think he will..." Amy fired of questions one after the other not giving her friend enough time to answer.
Silhouette grabbed Amy's arms, and held her still. "Look. I know you probably picked up talking at ninety-to-nothing from Sonic, but you need to slow down."
"Who is he?"
"Silver."
"OH MY GOSH! YOU'RE DATING SILVER! I'd date Sonic, but ya know..."
Silhouette rolled her eyes "you can have him, but only if he asks you out."
"he's done it before!"
"Good! Well nobody has ever asked me before!"
"If you're asking for dating advice then ask no more!" Amy declared. Silhouette was definitely nervous now.

Silver was with Sonic, and Shadow at Sonic's house. the Blue Blur had left the two in the living room while he was in his room looking for something.
"Why do you need me here?" Shadow asked looking around at the basic, yet very nice living room.
"I want to know what you think." Silver answered
"About what? She's not going to know the difference, she's never been on a date."
"Still."
"i don't think you should go overboard with it."
Silver nodded, "I won't."
"good. I'm going now. Have fun." Shadow said. Then Chaos Controlled away.
"FOUND IT!" Sonic exclaimed. Coming back in the room dusting off a small box. He looked up at Silver. "Where's the Faker?"
"He Left."
"Oh. Well Amy always suggested that I use this before we use to go out." Sonic said handing him the small box.
Silver opened it, and smiled, peering up at the blue blur with amusement. "You must really hate water more than I thought." Silver said pulling out the contents from the box. It was a small pink bar of soap.

"Where is Issai?" Eggman asked screwing on the electrical cover of the new battle robots he just finished making.
Loki was on his cot wondering why Eggman stays so fat when he is constantly moving all the time. "You think that after the twelfth time he asked he would have know by now that NO ONE KNOWS where the hamster is." he said to Metal Sonic; who was standing watch over the Asgardian.
"to lure Sonic here I'll need somebody for him to save. How about Cream and Cheese?" Eggman thought out loud. "I'll get Issai to go, and get them."
"and while he's at it he can pick up butter, and milk, and sugar, and biscuits." Loki mocked amused by how frustrated it made the Doctor.
"NOT THAT KIND OF CREAM AND CHEESE!"
Metal Sonic rolled his electronic eyes. A message from Issai was sent to his communicator. Metal pulled it out and read it to himself "I found the approximate location of Black Doom."
"can you get there?" Metal sent to Issai
Loki got up from his cot, went over to the robots Eggman just finished "hello." He said to them expecting them to respond to him like Metal did.
"what are you doing?" The doctor asked wondering why Loki talked to almost everything.
"Do they speak?"
"no. Only Metal Sonic speaks"
beep
Metal's communicator went off. The robot checked it.
"is that Issai?" Eggman asked exasperated with Loki's constant inquisitiveness
Metal nodded reading his son's message to himself " sort of- I would have to Chaos Control there, but I need one of the Emeralds for that."
"well? What did he say?" Eggman asked impatiently
Metal's programming almost gave away what the New Ultimate Life Form sent to him, but overriding his programming Metal told Eggman that Issai was studying the world map so he wouldn't get lost later. Actually somewhat surprised the Doctor fell for that he Responded to Issai's message saying that "one was on the way."
"This is just great." Eggman said sarcastically plopping down in his swivel chair. "I need someone to go get them."
Loki cleared his throat to get the inventor's attention.
Eggman buried his face in his hand, slumping down in his chair ignoring the weird hacking sounds Loki made.
Loki tried again, but got the same response out of him: Nothing.
once more Loki coughed slipping "Humpty." In there thinking that it should work.
"what?" Eggman asked annoyed by the noise that he was making.
the Asgardian smirked pointing at the blue hedgehog robot.
"Metal Sonic! Go get Cream, and Cheese!" Eggman ordered standing up from his chair and pointing at the door.

Shadow was at his house, in his room. There was small stacks of papers strategically placed on the desk, and a few on the floor. Shadow was standing next to a wardrobe on the wall next to his desk.
he opened one of the folders and looked at a fuzzy silhouette of a man. Shadow sighed opening the next one. It was another picture similar to the first. There was also profile information the had gotten from the security cameras
Shadow scoffed at the papers as he walked into his living room. "Okay lets test your present now, Sil." Shadow said to himself sitting down on his couch. In front of him was a coffee table his sister, and Tails had made to help him with his job.
he tossed the folders on the table, and pulled out the small drawer on it. Inside was a small device that looked like a calculator, but a closer look would reveal that there was the Mobine alphabet on it.
Shadow typed in the password he had set. The gold painted, wood looking coffee table's glass flickered. then a honey comb effect waved from one side of the table to the other, and a small red swirl appeared on the projectable touch screen table computer.
the black hedgehog was amused at the little red swirl that his Sister, and friends kept telling him that it was his logo. "Guess there's no reason to argue about it now."
the screen switched to the home screen where the back ground had a picture of him looking out of the window of the Space Colony ARK, and down over the planet.
several icons appeared over the picture. Shadow picked up the folders off the screen. He pressed a small icon with a pair of blue outlined gloves. A hidden compartment opened in the drawer, and there was two clear glove overlays with small grey and blue wires running through them.
Shadow slipped the clear gloves over the ones he had on, and tapped the red button on the screen. the screen turned black for a moment then returned to the home screen. Shadow then tapped the Government icon, and a desk top appeared with a screened piece of paper. "Tap plus to add mission." the caption read
"Havoc antic." Shadow typed in to name the file. Once made he opened it, and scanned the blurry pictures Mr. Towers had given him into the file. A hologram of the picture projected from the table.
"This is nice." Shadow said adjusting the lighting of the picture. several shades lighter the man's face was better recognizable, but even with that the computer found no record of this man in the 'dangerous' files.
Shadow scanned in the other picture too, but got the same results.
"Great. New thugs." Shadow sighed leaning back into his couch

Amy went through her closet pulling out pretty dresses for Silhouette. The Black, red, and gold highlighted Hedgehog was sitting on Amy's bed watching the Pink blur.
Silhouette went over to Amy's dresser, and found a few pieces of jewelry, and other girly things, but what caught her eye was half a picture of her and the other half that had fallen on the floor was of Sonic. "Did you and Sonic have a fight?"
Any froze in the closet "we fight sometimes." she answered resuming with what she was doing earlier.
"What was the end result of the last argument you two had?" Silhouette asked picking up the part of the picture that was on the floor.
Amy turned and saw her friend holding half the she had torn. "We split up. We're still friends, but- ...we just- ...it's not something I want to talk about. Especially before you go on your date."
Silhouette put the picture back on the dresser.
when Amy had finished she asked Silhouette what she thought which dress she would like to wear.
"there all nice, Amy, but I don't think I'll need to be this dressed up." Silhouette said picking up a ballroom type gown.
"You don't have to wear that one Specifically."
Silhouette put the dress down, and looked more at the design of them all. "How about this?" she asked. her gold highlights turned Silver as she made a hologram of her own outfit to wear.
"that'll work. If its what you want."
a few hours later Silhouette talked Amy into letting her wear just a white dress with gold trim that came to her knees, her red pants, and hover shoes. "One more thing!" Amy said running into her bathroom. A few seconds later she returned and put something on Silhouette's head. "There perfect." Amy declared.
"Thanks for your help, Amy!"
"No problem! You two have fun!"
And with that Silhouette Chaos Controlled away.

Silhouette stood outside the restaurant waiting in the place she told Silver she would be. Several cars passed, and she waited until a blue sports car with no roof pulled up, and Silver got out. "Thanks again."
"Catch ya later Silv." Sonic said then drove off.
Silver turned, and the two stood looking at each other awkwardly. Silver laughed nervously "you look pretty." He said.
"Thank you. you Look very handsome,... And clean."
"Thanks."
"Who's idea was it to go to this restaurant?"
"Rouge, and Knuckles'"
Silhouette smiled. She could tell he hadn't done this either. "If the reservations are not set in this one we might be able to go somewhere else." She said hinting to the smaller café across the street
Silver glanced back at the shop, "well, then, shall we?" He asked offering his arm to escort her across the street.
She lightly giggled, and held his hand. "We shall." She said. When the sign said that they could cross, Silhouette started skipping across the street, humming the 'wizard of oz song'; Silver joined her in skipping to the other end of the street.
Silver opened the door, Silhouette stopped, he gestured for her to enter. She walked in and he followed Her in, but she stopped it the entrance. Silver pushed her in the restaurant. "Sorry. I'm use to following, not leading." Silhouette apologized.
the two sat at a booth table. Silver picked up a menu, and started looking at it. Silhouette looked around the small restaurant, it was something she was use to looked something like the tiny asian restaurant Tony had taken the avengers to a few weeks ago as a reward for when they recovered one of the infinity stones that had fallen to earth.
"What do you want?" Silver asked noticing that she wasn't looking are the menu.
"I'm not really that hungry. I kinda ate before I came here- ...to Mobius."
"Well... You could try a dessert."
"Okay. What's your favorite?" She picked up a menu, and looked over it.
"I- don't have one."
Silhouette peeked over the menu, and smiled at Silver's somewhat embarrassed expression.
"I grew up in 'survival of the fittest' conditions. We didn't have time for dessert."
"I know what you mean, my life in the other world was sort of like that, but it wasn't like we didn't have it, it was that I couldn't, or wasn't allowed to eat it. And I couldn't really stay still at the table for that long. Supper lasted forrrevverrr"
"well I guess we could try it now." Silver suggested pushing his menu across the table. Silhouette smiled, and agreed. A few minutes later they ordered their deserts, and Silver got some actual food because he needed it, and Silhouette said she didn't mind.

Issai was on Space colony ARK Flipping through records that Gerald wrote about Black Doom.
"Black Doom 'is the sinister leader of the Black Arms and the oldest of the alien species. The Black Arms are Black Doom's own spawn and appear to operate with an insect-like hive intelligence.' Blah B-Blah. 'He claims that the Black Arms have visited Earth for at least as far back as 2000 years. It is currently unknown just how much of an effect he has had on Mobius/Earth's history.' Blah B-blah yada-d-da 'He shows little respect for humanity because of its sins against each other and the planet itself. In fact, his philosophy is little more than egotistical justification for his own dark deeds. And He wants to enslave the humans (and likely everyone else on the planet) and' WHOA! Dude! 'and use them as food for him and his army.' Wow what a plan. I myself am not agreeing with it, don't know why you did. Idiot." Issai read out loud commenting ever now and then.
"Who knows what was going through the professor's mind." Metal Sonic said standing in the doorway, holding a Chaos Emerald.
"You sure you want this guy?" Issai asked flipping through, and scanning over several other things like that written about the alien Leader.
"Just do what it takes to get you BOTH back here."
"yes Father. Do you know how far you can Chaos Control with one of these?" Issai asked as Metal gave him the Emerald.
"Not really. Take one of the space escape pods, the comet shouldn't be that far away, but don't land it on the comet."
"Got it. I'll be back."
Metal Sonic Chaos Controlled back to Mobius, while Issai found an escape jet, and went to the Black Comet.

In the living room, on his couch, studying the hologram on the pictures. Shadow kept searching for information about these two suspects.
Page, after page, after page Until all the information he had gathered was scanned into the data bank of his computerized table.
Shadow sat back in his chair. He was getting nowhere.
Hearing voices outside his door he quickly shut off his coffee table computer, and stashed all his papers in his bedroom, and ran to the door. he was about to turn the door knob when he heard his sister's familiar laugh. His frantic state turned into curiosity when he pressed his ear up against the door to listen.
"I think that would be my new favorite food." He over heard Silver say.
"I figured it might be, you're still wearing it." Silhouette giggled.
the both of them laughing now at something. Shadow wondering what was so funny about wearing food, over heard Silver telling her "Good night."
"Wait a sec. Where are you gunna stay?" Silhouette asked
it was quiet for a second before he said "I'll find somewhere." a little quieter, Shadow guessing that he wasn't facing the door anymore.
"Maybe, if we ask, Shadow might be able to help." Silhouette said louder sounding suspicious.
it was then very quiet for a lot longer than Shadow would care to admit, or be comfortable with. whispering to himself that he was stupid in not getting an eyehole for his door. He heard something very quiet. He pressed his ear into the door straining his hearing to hear.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"ow" he whimpered rubbing his ear. He opened the door to the two amused hedgehogs. "Yes?"
"I'm back." Silhouette said happily.
"Hi. umm... Thanks for bringing her back... See ya." Shadow stuttered stepping aside to let Silhouette in.
"Do you know of anywhere I could stay?" Silver asked as Silhouette went inside waving 'bye'.
"ask the f- Sonic. He could probably help you."
"Thanks. See ya tomorrow!" Silver thanked him walking away.
Shadow shut the door leaning up against it with his arms crossed over his chest smiling suspiciously at Silhouette. "So how'd it go?"
"Umm... Great! How was work?" Silhouette replied sitting on the couch returning the suspiciousness back to him.
"it okay."
"do you like your present Tails, and I gave you?"
"how do you know I've used it?"
Silhouette pointed at his hands. Shadow looked at them realizing that he forgot to take off the virtual hand glove overlays. "Oh. Yeah!" Shadow Said pulling them off and shoving them back in the drawer. "I like it. It very helpful."
Silhouette smiled, and went into her room, and shut the door. Shadow sat down on his couch. relieved to be alone again. Going back to his work he saw the coffee table screen change from a picture of Space Colony ARK Which blend in with his black table to a picture of him and Maria on the ARK playing candy land in her bedroom. "That would have given it away too." he told himself.
pulling up the picture again. He noticed a sudden familiarness about him that he didn't notice before. Covering part of the face with a G.U.N. Helmet. "You're a G.U.N. agent?" Shadow wondered searching the list of recently retired agents, he finally found a match. "Why would he-" he started saying when he noticed a green smudge in the picture. "It's on now."
