Shadow the Hedgehog

"I will." ---- Hope finished. "Well that was nice."

"Little I can do now." ---- "Maybe, though I'm still for the original."

"He still should've yold me i would have been much less angry." --- "Of course not. I doubt anyone could compete with her."

"I'll try. But I thought I'd gotten through to him, that he trusted me. I got my memories scrambled just to protect him and he doesn't even tell me about this?" ---- "Heh, I'm sure she'll be glad you aren't pining for her title."

"Thanks for clarifying. The second Miles comes out he's getting an earful." ---- "You almost remind me of Rouge's attitude," laughed Hope.

Zamy groaned. "So Skye's paranoia made him build that device? That boy will be the death of me." ---- "Naturally. Modest yet perfect in every way?"

Zamy gritted her teeth. "What the heck was he doing taking a part of the restraint out? And what was this thing meant to do in the first place? ----- "How modest of you."

"If he secured it then who else could get to it?" ---- "I know. Great idea."

"Who did it?" ---- Hope wasted no time startimg.

"I don't want it to melt." ---- "He's worked out a potential cure, he's not 100% certain it'll work. If I ever find whose responsible for starting this debacle in the first place I'm going to get them 12 consecutive life sentences."

Hope came back as fast as she could. --- "Oh hi Anna. This is unfortunate, but Miles transformed himself on purpose to test a cure for the lousy transformations. He now looks like a fox older even than I am, with fake memories to boot. I have a backup of his real memories in this amulet, should the need arise. He's in that portal playing with the 'children'."

Hope dished out some ice cream for both of them before returning the rest to the freezer.

Hope went out the door and returned a few monutes later with a tub of ice cream. "What better time to open it?"

"I might have some in the freezer. I'll check."

"Mmm, this is good cake."

"We can save them some. It's a big cake, and they won't be out late as they're using the dream machine as well."

Zamy leaned on the wall inside the lab, not going to leave until Miles returned. ---- "That's fine, thanks," replied Hope. "We'll be back later have fun," said Rouge before Shadow chaks controlled her out of the lab.

"I'll make sure you take it. Don't worry." --- "A smallish piece please."

Zamy put the bottle in her pocket. "I'll take good care of it Miles." ---- "Around here somewhere, here you go."

"Just our luck. But as long as the cure is still here." --- "Yes please," eagerly replied Hope.

"Here's hoping,," said Zamy as she headed in. ---- Hope finished her food after a few minutes. "Here's hoping,," said Zamy as she headed in. ---- Hope finished her food after a few minutes.

"Yes, I'll hang onto it. Let's go." ---- Hope started on her noodles. "This is good. I'm glad I went for it."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you have that cure. Where is it now?" ----- "You'd what, have to eat like the rest of us?" teased Hope.

"He might already be too far gone to snap out of it, but I don't want to see your getting lost in the illusion so quickly. I only have one use of that amulet." ----- "I think most people would envy your metabolism. To be able to eat that much and not gain weight if you run."

"I see, that's better than the alternative. Though it still might be best if you limit the oportunities to let the fake memories set in. It's pretty creepy they made you think Dylan was your son." ---- "I can clearly see that," said Hope as she took the few boxes that were hers.
