Okay, this next chapter is kinda for humor reasons…and late. This is the last pre-written chapter I've got right now, so updates are gonna be even slower. You know, with school and other stuff you have to juggle around…enjoy OR ELSE!

Meeting Everybody

After we got all our food from the various fast-food restaurants (As I learned they were called) we arrived at a rather small house with a garage some ways off behind it.

"This is where you live?" Shadow asked "Pathetic!"

"Hey! Just to let you know, most of the house is underground so Eggman will never suspect we live here!" Sonic said.

"Oh…"

"Lets get inside and eat." Mighty suggested. We all climbed out of the plane but Tails, who had to fly the plane to the garage.

Once we were all inside, Sonic led us downstairs. The top floor wasn't much.

The rest of the house, however, were pretty cool. There was an arcade, and a grand dining room, and a bunch of other cool stuff. The kitchen was pretty big.

As we sat in the dining room, we all couldn't help but notice that the table was bigger than the one we had in the base. We all sat in a bit of a clump on one end of the table, though.

"Why is the table so big?" Shadow asked.

"A lot of people live here. You could say this was a very large ménage a trois." Sonic said.

"A what?" my siblings and I asked. The Mobians looked disgusted.

"I'm outta here." Shadow said, getting out of his chair and heading towards the stairs.

"Liar!" Knuckles exclaimed, standing up

"You disgust me." Espio said, turning his back on Sonic. Silver looked pretty horrified, and Mighty just lifted an eyebrow.

"Guys! I was kidding!" Sonic said. He ran up the stairs at amazing speed to find Shadow and bring him back.

"That joke wasn't very amusing." The ebony hedgehog stated.

"Alright; I'll stop!" everybody started eating again, leaving a few very confused redheads in the room.

After we all finished eating (I found McDonalds to taste very good), Sonic showed us our rooms. Shadow got a room that was black and red all over. I also got my own room, which was a tropical blue, for I had said it was my favorite color. James, Mark, and Ben went in their rooms, which were lime green, yellow with toxic symbols all over, and one decorated like gray skyscrapers.

For awhile, I just laid in my bed looking at the ceiling. I had changed my life just by jumping from one plane to another. I went from the side of evil to the side of good. From the dark side to the light side. Kind of like duct tape; it has a light side and a dark side, and without it Sonic's career wouldn't exist.

Speaking of Sonic, he had said that a lot of other people lived here. I wonder who they are. I'll probably find out tomorrow.

"Elise!"

I woke up to Sonic's call. For awhile, I couldn't remember where I was. My room wasn't made of gray sheets anymore. Instead, there was a vibrant blue plastered on the walls. All I saw that I recognized was my small sack that my father had given me, and my stuffed hedgehog Speedy. I grabbed him and walked out the door, figuring that I could figure out where I was later.

When I exited my room, I walked down the hallway and saw the long dining room table. Except now it was filled with Mobians. That when I remembered that I had 'moved out' of the 'house'.

I slid into a chair next to Shadow and Ben. Shadow was sitting next to a very flirty white bat. Across from him was a purple cat with golden eyes. Next to her (And across from me) was a little bunny with a chao. I thought it was a stuffed animal until it leaped out of her arms and sat on my head.

"Cheese!" the rabbit exclaimed.

"Chao?" the little blue chao asked.

"Come back here! She might not want you on her head!"

"Chao chao!" soon the weight lifted and the chao was back in the rabbit's arms.

"You brought Speedy with you?" Ben asked me. I blushed.

"Well, Mom made him. I couldn't just leave him." I said. Ben nodded in understanding. He brought the little fox our mother had made him out from under his chair.

"I brought Flighty too."

"Somehow I knew you would." I said.

Soon, I heard a shrill whistle and everyone stopped talking, turning their attention to Sonic.

"Alright, everyone! Yesterday night we picked up a couple of kids that wanted to join us. They came late at night, so you probably don't know them yet. If you've already introduced yourselves, then good!"

"Oh, Rouge did more than introduce!" Shadow said, rolling his eyes as Rouge batted his nose again. I didn't fail to notice his small smile that appeared for a second.

"Oh, right! Along with these kids we found Project Shadow, who prefers to just be called Shadow. So, let's introduce ourselves, shall we?"

"I'm Knuckles the echidna. I guard the Master Emerald, and was born on-" the red echidna said

"Geez, Knuckles!" Sonic said, shaking his head "I asked for an introduction, not an autobiography!"

"I'm Amy Rose!" a pink hedgehog said, standing up from her chair near the end of the table. She wore a red dress with a white trim and a red hair band.

"I'm Tikal the echidna, who has the same duty as Knuckles." An orange echidna said. She wore a very tribal outfit, and I noticed she blushed when she said Knuckles' name.

"I'm Ray the flying squirrel!" a yellow flying squirrel with blue eyes and a peach belly said, floating into the air.

"I'm Mighty the armadillo!" Mighty said, giving me a thumbs up.

"I'm Mina the mongoose!" a yellow mongoose with purple hair said. She had on a black tank-top and khakis.

"I'm Prince Elias Acorn." A chipmunk-squirrel hybrid greeted. He had on a royal blue outfit with a red cape. He also had reddish-brown hair.

"I'm Princess Sally Acorn!" another chipmunk-squirrel hybrid said. She had bright reddish hair, and blue eyes like her brother. She wore nothing but a blue jacket at the time.

"I'm Bunnie Rabbot. As you can see, I got caught in one of Eggman's Roboticizer's until Sonic saved me." I saw that the yellow-furred rabbit's legs and left arms were metal limbs. So all she had to wear was a pink tank-top, a brown explorer's jacket, and a cowboy hat. Her eyes were green. I noticed Shadow glance at me before she sat down.

"I'm Cream the rabbit, and this is my chao Cheese!" the rabbit that sat across from me said with a wave.

"Chao! Chao!" Cheese said.

"I'm Blaze the cat; princess of the Sol Dimension." The purple cat sitting across from Shadow said.

"I am Antoine D'Coolette." A brown coyote with blond hair greeted. He wore an Army Uniform, and had a very obvious French accent.

"I'm Julie-Su the echidna." A pink echidna said. She had a purple tuft of hair on her head, and purple eyes. She wore a half green, half black tank-top, a yellow belt and green boots. The first thing I noticed were the robotic extensions to her 'dreads'. Well, that, and the fact that she wasn't wearing any pants.

"I'm Espio the chameleon, professional ninja." Espio said quietly.

"Professional?! You have bad aim! Whenever you throw a ninja star it almost hits me!" a bee said, flying around him

"That's because half the time you fly in the way and the other half I am aiming for you!"

"Oh…good aim!" then the bee turned around to us "Hi, I'm Charmy!"

"I'm Vector the Crocodile, head honcho of the Chaotix Detective Agency!" a green crocodile said, giving us all a thumbs up. "If you ever need a mystery solved, just come to us! We're the best!"

"We're desperate!" Charmy added

"I'm surrounded by idiots." Espio muttered crossly.

"Hi, I'm Big!" a very large purple cat said. He had a white-furred stomach and yellow eyes. He mainly wore fishing gloves, a belt with a large yellow buckle, and sandals. "I like fishing!"

"I am E-123 Omega!" a large red robot said in a monotone voice. I remembered him as one of my father's creations, who rebelled against him. Back then, I didn't understand why, but now I did.

"I'm Silver the hedgehog, telekinetic hedgehog from the distant future." Silver said, winking at me.

"I'm Honey the cat!" a yellow cat said. She had brown eyes and black air up in two ponytails. She wore a red dress and red high-heels.

"I'm Marine the raccoon, Sailor of the Seven Seas!" a orange-and-brown striped raccoon said. She wore a green dress with green shoes, and had blue eyes. Her hair was put in two pigtails that looked like boomerangs, and had an Australian accent.

"I'm Tails the fox, expert mechanic!" Tails said.

"And I'm Sonic the hedgehog, one of many heroes of Mobius!"

"I'm Rouge the bat, expert Treasure Hunter! I could be an archeologist, but who wants to do that?!" the bat that had been flirting with Shadow said.

"I'm Shadow the hedgehog…" Shadow muttered.

"I'm Elise the…uh…person." I said with a blush.

"I'm Ben the human." Ben said.

"I'm James, the awesome one." Everyone laughed a bit at his remark.

"And I'm Mark, the eldest." Mark said.

"So that's everybody!" Sonic said, clapping his hands together. Suddenly, the sound of the front door slamming open broke through the 'silence', and his eyes widened "Oh, crap! Run!"

Everybody scattered from the table and ran into what we could only assume was their rooms. I assumed I should go with them. Shadow had no idea what was happening.

Then a twelve year old boy ran into the dining room. He wore a red t-shirt with white sleeves and a long-sleeved navy-blue shirt under it. He also had on some blue jeans and yellow shoes with a blue tip. He ran at Shadow and hugged him.

"Sonic! I finally found your house! Now we get to have fun together! Are the others here?" he asked in one breath. Shadow just stood there, surprised. The boy must have noticed because he asked "What's wrong?"

"Uh…"

"Hey, you're not Sonic!" the boy exclaimed, backing away. "Who are you, and what'd you do to Sonic?!"

"First off, I knew I wasn't Sonic in the first place and I'm starting to get sick of people thinking I am him! Second, my full name is Project: Shadow, but I prefer people to just call me Shadow. And I didn't do anything to Sonic!"

"Then why are you here?"

"Because I can be. Why are you here?"

"Because I've been looking for Sonic for over a month, and I really need a shower now."

"Yes, you do, but can you get a shower somewhere else? And…this isn't Sonic's house. You'll have to keep looking. Sorry, kid."

"Aw…do you know where he is?"

"I only see him on the news."

"Oh…bye!" then the boy ran out the room "I'll find you someday, Sonic!"

"You saved us!" Charmy exclaimed once we were sure he was gone. He flew around Shadow's head a few times, then around the house. "Let's celebrate! Stinky Chris is out of the house!"

"I would love to celebrate, Charmy," Marine said "But I'm still full from breakfast! Maybe later?"

"Oh…okay! Party at six o'clock, then!" Charmy continued his patrol around the house while the rest of us hung out in our rooms or around the house.

Then Sonic led me to the Recording Studio.

The next chapter is gonna matter a lot, so pay attention. I'm thinking of tying this along with the games a little bit, but I cant think of any ways to do so. Give me some ideas!

Adios, readers! You rock for being patient this long!
