Shadow the Hedgehog

"Yes, he was quite displeased by the thought of his mother becoming involved with him. I then frightened him even further by suggesting I could pretend to be him and become his father. For a few seconds he believed me." ---- "In a way you have a point."

"I still remember when Skye freaked out when I didn't stop her flattering him. It was rather amusing." ---- "i know I can improve, I mean I don't like to brag about it." (Heh, very true).

"Don't mention it." ------ (Lol! I'm not sure she's rich enough :P ) "I'm fine as I am."

"Very well.." ---- "I don't like to toot my own horn much."

"Better now than in front of her." ------- "Well I am a fast learner," smiled Hope.

"Don't act so neutral. It's unnatural." ------- "I guess I'm finally getting the hang of it."

"Agreed. Especially with his number one fan around to witness any outburst." ----- Hope kept going.

"I wonder if they'll ever surface here." ------ Hope copied them with vigour.

"Indeed. But I can assure you after having him inside my mind that is isn't because he's devoid of it." ------ "Agreed."

"I suppose that makes sense, what makes him truly menacing is mostly unseen, kept below the more approachable surface. And as you say, we have fought before." ----- "It's fine," smiled Hope.

Shadow couldn't help but laugh. "A sad day when your cold blooded Moebian counterpart isn't as frightening as you. Or do you find him frightening as well?" ------ "That's a relief."

"If I wanted you dead, do you think you'd be standing here right now?" ----- "Oh no, I'm not going on stage."

"Yes?" ---- "Thanks!'

Shadow smirked slightly. "I always find it amusing people assume I'm so ready to attack. I made a promise to Maria to keep this world safe and try to let people be happy. Rampaging about wouldn't be fitting with that." ----- Hope did the moves with much more fluidity.

"A wise decision." ---- "I'll give it a shot."

"You appear to disagree." ------ Hope clumsily copied the moves.

"I'm not called the ultimate lifeform just for my charming personality." ---- "Ok then." "I'm not called the ultimate lifeform just for my charming personality." ---- "Ok then."

"I'm completely fine." --- "I guess so."

Shadow Chaos Controlled them to Haven. "That was certainly an experience." ---- Hope followed the basics and copied them.

"Have fun," replied Zamy. "I'll give you a lift," said Shadow. ---- "Ok," nervously replied Hope.

"No, I can handle this." ---- "That wasn't me though, I was being controlled."

"Fine then. I still have some paperwork to finish, so it'll be a while before I'm back at Haven." ---- "I can't dance to save my life."

"Why was it so bad? I thought that'd be obvious." ---- Hope laughed as she watched Melody

"Out of all of us he took it the worst." ----- Hope laughed. "Agreed."

"It really was." ---- "Agreed."
