A slow May day at the Pizza Hut. Sonic The Hedgehog pulled Silver The Hedgehog into one of the corners of the restaurant where there were shadows so the two wouldn't be seen.

"Hey Silver... lemme tell you something..." Sonic started as he whispered, trying to be as quiet as possible so hat no one would hear him. "It's about your esteem..."

"Yeah, Sonic?" Silver asked as he opened up his arms. "What about my self esteem?"

Glancing to make sure to no one was looking, Sonic turned to face Silver, rolling his left hand around. "You know, you don't have to take crap from Shadow. You're your own hedgehog."

"Yeah... you're right." Silver replied as he nodded, realizing what Sonic was saying was true.

Sonic pounded his right fist on his left hand. "Just go up to him and tell him, 'If you want your soda, go get it'. Give him a real wake up call!"

Silver grinned as he pumped his fists. "Yeah! I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna give him what for!" He stepped out of the Shadow and approached Shadow, with Sonic watching as he folded his arms.

Shadow placed down his newspaper as he glanced up at Silver. "Yes, Silver, can I help you?"

Silver folded his arms, his right eye raising. "You want a soda, yeah?"

Shadow nodded.

Silver slammed his hands on the table. "Then go and get your own damn soda!"

Shadow glanced at the other customers, then back at Silver, and rolled his eyes.

Several seconds later, Silver returned to Sonic. Sonic gawked, Silver having been mauled badly.

"So I take it that he didn't get the memo?" Sonic commented as his arms twitched.

Silver spat out a tooth as he glared at Sonic. "More like he doesn't know any courtesy!"
