Shona cleared her throat and motioned for Sonic and Knuckles to leave- to which they did. Shona's light touch on my shoulder caused me to jump away and it broke my blank stare from the door. "Hey… What's on your mind now…" She sounded concerned because she understood.

"Shona- I just kicked out my favorite character out the door so my almost least favorite could stay… I …" I rubbed my forehead and let out a sigh "I'm disappointed… I never thought he would be that big of a jerk! I mean- look at me! He put me in the hospital and my boyfriend into a coma!" her mouth formed a bit of a squiggled line. "Maybe if you hit him again it would knock sense into him?" she added jokingly and I let out a small laugh "Yea- I could hit him as hard as I could and the only progress I would get would be a huge dent in my car."

"And break his other arm."

"That too."

I inhaled deeply and we headed downstairs and I scooped up Luci as she ran up to my feet. I pet her head and grabbed a can of her food. I turned and let out only a small laugh as I remembered something.

I held up the can "Hey Sonic- want some cat food?"

His attention turned to me and his face twisted in discust "Yea thanks but no thanks."

"Just thought I'd ask." I giggled and set down Luci, emptying the can into her dish. I turned to Shona, whom was leaning against the counter, texting. "Hey do you think you can-" she cut me off "Already asked, my mom said I could stay."

I smiled and opened the main pantry.

"Then what do you want to do about dinner because I'm not cooking."

She had a huge grin on her face "I know exactly where we can go." then proceeded to push my keys across the counter to me.

Once in the car I let out a laugh when Shona mentioned where we were going. Neither Sonic nor Knuckles heard and looked confused. "You'll laugh when we get there." I grinned and put on my turn signal.

As we pulled around through the drive thru Sonic laughed as the neon sign came around. "Totally awesome." he was pressed up against the window and eyeballing the menu. Knuckles scoffed "Careful- it'll all go to his head before you know it."

"Hello and Welcome to Sonic's! What can I get you today?" the woman over the intercom cheered. "Yea I'll get a number 3 and…" I looked to Shona who held up a three with her fingers "Ok make that two number 3s and-"

"Four chilidogs!" Sonic leaned up from the back seat and yelled threw the window. I looked over to Knuckles who just shrugged "Just a burger."

I finished the order and continued up to the window; paying and receiving our bags, I passed them back to Sonic who immediately dug out a chilidog.

By the time we had gotten home Sonic was already threw two dogs and working on his third. I jumped out and slung my keys over my neck. I pulled the seat forward and Sonic leapt out, handing me a bag of food.

The others went inside and I locked my car. I froze up and stared down my keys. The small 2-D vinyl replica of Shadow keychain. In a fit of anger I unclipped it and turned to throw it. I stopped before the initial toss and let out a big sigh. I unlocked my car and threw the keychain in the bottom of the center consol. As mad as I was I couldn't find my self to throw the damned thing.

I slammed shut the door and re-locked my car, then headed inside to eat.

We ate then as the hours passed we managed to watch both Iron Man movies and the third Transformers movie. However Sonic couldn't manage to sit still that long and took off for a run. Knuckles however had been passed out on the couch since hallway threw Iron Man 2. The clock showed 1:30 Am and both Shona and I let out a yawn. She had already been laying down and had a blanket on the couch. I tapped her foot and she just continued snoozing. I got up and went to my room to change into pajamas. I threw on a loose Coca-Cola T-Shirt and a pair of black boxers on for shorts. I rubbed my eyes with my palms and looked down to see my eyeliner smeared across my hands. I grumbled and headed to the bathroom.

I finished washing my face and stared at myself in the mirror. I lightly touched on of the cuts on my cheek and sighed. I turned off the light and walked downstairs, filled a glass of milk and headed out onto the lower back deck. The cool Washington air soothed my senses and I sat down at the top of the steps, taking a sip from my glass. Wanting to get a view I headed to the top deck and climbed over the bench and onto the roof. I set my glass up on the highest roof and pulled myself up, rolling onto my back and staring up at the sky.

The stars flickered and the moon shown brightly. I breathed quietly and sat up. I looked out upon the rest of my neighborhood; street lights shining a yellow glow against the roads and nearby houses.

My conscience was killing me even when I knew it shouldn't be. "It was for the best Allie- don't be stupid." I hummed to myself and rubbed my temples. "He was nothing but mean to you… don't feel bad you took away probably the only place he had to stay… he can go and threaten someone else.. Yea… he's entirely self manageable."

Then another thought crossed me "what if he kills someone? It'll be all my fault because if he was here I could at least keep an eye on him."

"Do you always talk to yourself?" I heard Sonic's voice and I jumped. "Uh- I- no. No I don't. Just trying to relieve my mind is all."

"Why is kicking Shadow out stressing you out?" he sat down next to me and I mentally groaned.

Just stay out of it.

He wasn't going to help me not resent what I did. I didn't want him in my house anymore than I wanted Shadow there. As bad as it sounded, Sonic's constant perky attitude drove me up a wall. It always has and knowing that it's going to be around constantly didn't make it better.

"It's not. I just don't want him to go and kill someone."

"Nah Shadow wouldn't do that!"

"He almost has."

Sonic looked me up and down "But see you're getting better already!"

"I'm not talking about me!" I snapped and he recoiled a bit "He put my boyfriend into a coma." I hissed "And I'm pretty sure he actually killed someone in the process of attacking the theatre!"

"Then don't let him stay here!"

"That's what he said about you." I growled.

"Well it's not like I'm going to kill you!"

"He didn't kill me either!"

"He was going to!"

"If he wanted me dead I would have been done for a long time ago." I stood up and climbed down and off my roof. He changed subjects "Oh! Guess where I ran to?"

I rolled my eyes "Where?"

"I went back through the woods and I came out at the top of the hill and made a few laps around that area up there."

"Good for you." I stopped as a thought hit me.

I ran inside and back downstairs, grabbing my keys and slipping on my shoes without socks on. I unlocked my car but decided to not take it. I reached into the center consol and hooked the Shadow keychain on the waistband of my shorts. I shut the door locked the car and quickly ditched the keys back inside, grabbing a blanket on the way.

"where are you going?" Shona was downstairs with the blanket she had earlier wrapped over her shoulders. "I'm going to be right back. Please keep Sonic here." she nodded and I strode out of the house.

I followed the road up the hill to the abandoned development. My breath clouded in front of my face as I walked, the blanket becoming a pain to carry.

I took a few turns and found myself standing in front of the house that had the door kicked in and a window missing. I took a deep breath and gathered my courage, then stepped onto the porch. The old boards creaked under my feet and my skin jumped.

I listened for anymore movement but I didn't hear any. I walked farther into the house and looked about in the dark. The house was empty minus some old furniture- however I didn't bother to check upstairs- if I was right and he was here; he would have ditched at the sound of me coming. I refolded the blanket and set it on the couch, I touched the cushions and was happy to feel a small amount of heat on them.

I unclipped the keychain and set it on the blanket. It would most likely confuse the hell out of him and if it did he would have to ask me about it. I felt like a bitch for kicking him out- I never wanted to hate him; but something about the fact he finally called me by name stuck in my mind.

Without spending anymore time there than I needed to I turned and made my exit. I jogged back down the road and down the hill, making it back to my house in a little under an hour. I walked back in the house and ditched my shoes at the entryway.

As I sat back down on the bed in my room and made Shona scoot over, I planned out how to deal with this situation.

My mind began to slow as I drifted to sleep and rolled over, shutting my eyes.

Sorry if this chapter was confusing at all and even kinda slow but stories are never worth reading if something insane is always going on (or atleast i think so)

So- Allie has brought upon herself some major stress! She feels guilty for kicking out Shadow, even though he was a huge jerk, but she was never much of a fan of sonic to begin with...

oh and here's the keychain - http:/i01..com/photo/v0/339404679/Sonic_X_Immortal_Shadow_the_Hedgehog_

I have to admit that writing Sonic's lines where difficult because he's so parallel to Shadow :/

anyway I am on a roll so expect more updates soon!
