Shadow the Hedgehog

"They would get things done, I'll give you that." ----- "Ok then, if you're sure. I might get a few sides as well that we can share."

Zamy laughed. "That might be tricky, and technically we already have a Shadow." Shadow jumped back down. ----- "But still. Just get what you want, I was only joking."

"You're probably right," replied Zamy. "He's certainly persuasive," she said, looking up at Skye and Shadow. "Good. I was starting to think I'd have to hurl you down," grinned Shadow. ----- "I'm not sure, but you're not having it. I don't want to see my best friend running around saying her mouth is on fire."

"I'm sure if you begged Zouge she'd fly around with you," laughed Zamy before hearing Miles. As she was about to come over Shadow used Chaos Control to reach Skye. "You can either come down quietly or I'll take you down. 10 minutes of pain is a small price to pay for getting your own body again," he said. ---- "Ok, so it's a tikka masala for me, and a korma for the wimp," teased Hope. "Want any sides?"

"Go for something mild then." ---- "You'll get used to not flying soon enough," smiled Zamy.

"Exactly. This is gonna be a real pain in the neck," she said before noticing the sigh. "You miss flying then?" ----- "You don't even sound like you convinced yourself," laughed Hope.

"Heh, I'll give you that, I'm not that far gone. That'd be Skye left to go in. I still don't know what the heck we're gonna do with them all." ---- "Do you even like spicy food?"

Zamy laughed. "I'm not always so careful." ----- "They're not all spicy by the looks of it. If you want mild, go for the korma."

"If I want a break I use my holiday time. I don't want to be a child." ---- "See anything you like on the menu?"

"Oh no you don't," laughed Zamy. ----- "Ueah, which is why I got us a quiet table."

Zamy put the chip in Zoe's hand. "Now you get all the fun of this job again Ziona," she joked. ---- Hope headed in after and got them a table.

"It's ok, it wasn't your fault," replied Zamy as she grabbed the bat's hand and pulled them out. ----- "Yep. Let's head inside."

Zamy hastily helped Ziona, hugging her when she was out. "You've no idea how much I've missed you." ---- "My pleasure."

Zamy waited for Ziona's adult form to appear. ----- "You're full of good ideas," smiled Hope as they reached a restaurant.

Zamy picked up Ziona and lowered her into the pool. ----- "That's not a bad idea actually."

"Alright then. It's a deal." --- "Good point.'

"It's fine. Even as an adult you couldn't push me in." ----- "Well it'd be silly not to get as many as possible."

"Well that's too bad." ---- "Great idea. Let's find a music shop after dinner."

"2? In all my years I've never heard such insolence," laughed Zamy. ---- Hope headed back to the streets and looked for a restaurant.

"Shhh, hang in there. It'll all be over soon. I'll give you an hour off to recover. No slacking," said Zamy, trying to distract her with the joke. ---- "Indian food sounds nice."

"It's gonna be ok Ziona," said Zamy, putting her arm round her. ---- "Good idea. What are you in the mood for?"

Zamy kept close for when Ziona started feeling the pain. ----- "It's in a few hours."

"There's a huge party going on later tonight in a famous square near here, fancy that?"

"Ok then." Hope looked over the map.

"It'll be worth it, and you don't have to move at all." ------ "I'm not sure. Let's look at the map again," said Hope, pulling it out.
