After all the crew was outside, they have split into groups: Amy, Sonic and Tails were walking as the first group, then Rouge and Knuckles, and of course, Shadow was walking alone. Why you may ask? Well, Rouge and Knuckles were friends again. They forgot a little argument they had before. Now, they were walking and having a little chat.

As for, Shadow, he was walking alone, watching every echidna's move. The glare that no one could handle, was burning echidna's back. Shadow wasn't walking too far from them. He couldn't figure out what they were talking about though. But what he could hear, is Rouge's giggling or laughing at Knuckles' comments. That made the hedgehog clench his fists and grit his teeth, his fangs showing.

"What is so funny about him?" The hedgehog thought angrily.

"It's not that I care that much..." He muttered under his breath, his eyes never leaving the red echidna.

It was just the fire growing in his soul, that annoyed him. Pretty much the opposite of feeling he had towards the treasure huntress.

"Looks like you have problems." Sonic The Hedgehog was now walking beside Shadow.

The ebony hedgehog shot him an irritated look.

"It should not bother you. Mind your own business, hedgehog." Shadow snapped at him, crossing his arms.

"Well, I don't see a problem here." Blue Blur replied, pointing at Rouge and Knuckles. "It's good that they are friends now."

"Yes, just great..." Shadow replied harshly.

"What? Can't they just talk? You are too over-protective, Shadz. Just chill out." Sonic looked at the hedgehog beside him.

"I am not over-protective, damn it!" Shadow almost punched blue hedgehog.

"Then why so- Oh... I get it." Sonic smirked, closing his arms.

"..." The black and crimson hedgehog ignored him.

"Someone's jelly." Sonic laughed, patting Shadow's head.

"Get your hands off, Faker!" Shadow punched Sonic in the nose. But the damage wasn't that big.

"Touche." The hedgehog replied, rubbing his nose.

"Enough of your speaking! You disgust me!" The Ultimate Lifeform yelled at Sonic, almost blowing him from the ground.

That made Amy Rose glare at Shadow, while she pulled her hammer out.

"How dare you hurt my Sonikku!" Amy was about to hit Shadow, but Tails took her hand.

"Calm down Amy, I am alright." Sonic put a thumb up.

"What is going on here?~" The ivory bat joined into conversation.

Then everything was quiet again.

"Pffft, you know how Sonic and Shadow are, Rouge." Knuckles shrugged. "Shadow just likes to pick fights with normal people."

Shadow's angry meter was full now.

"Oh really?!" Shadow had fire in his eyes.

The echidna stopped to look at the pissed off hedgehog.

"Really. What did I say? You want a fight again. And I did nothing." Knuckles clenched his fists.

"Just keep your mouth shut, echidna." Shadow looked at the M.E Guardian.

"You can't make me, Shadow. Just because you think you are 'The Ultimate Lifeform', doesn't mean you can tell me what to do. You are so weak without your Chaos Power." Kncukles gritted his teeth.

"How pathetic. You want to test my skills? Then, that would be a fight to die for." Shadow took a fighting position.

"Oh man, that's getting interesting!" Sonic exclaimed smirking, but was shortly cut off by Amy's Picko-Picko hammer.

"Bring it on!" Knuckles said, as he took a fighting position as well.

They were running towards each other, ready to punch, but...

"Hey! Hold up!" Rouge The Bat stood in the middle of two rivals.

Shadow and Knuckles stopped for a moment.

"What is this all about?! We just gathered here to have a good time and spend time with our friends! But no, you have to ruin it all, by picking fights with each other!" Rouge looked at both of them, her hands on her hips.

Knuckles sighed, as he walked back to his place.

"Just don't get in my way." He said.

Shadow just shot him a look of hatred, but said nothing.

"That's better." Rouge said more softly.

She then flew carefully to the ebony hedgehog.

"Shadow..." The bat called his name.

The hedgehog looked in her eyes, as he sighed.

"I don't know what got over me..." He whispered in defeat.

Rouge's gaze softened.

"It's alright. We all make mistakes from time to time." She then landed beside him.

Shadow just nodded.

"But why did you want to fight with each other?" Rouge then asked.

Shadow was about to reply, but nothing came out. It made him astonished, as he didn't even know why. Fine, he knew the answer. But it would sound weird and make things worse than they are. 'Just because he was talking to you or I was jelly.' Yes, that would totally spoil everything.
