Shadow the Hedgehog

"Well at least that plan of yours went off without a hitch." thought Hope.

"Fine thank you. Everything was as it should be," Crowley replied to Anna. "Yeah we'll go for dessert," said Rouge.

"I suppose ahe does. I guess we'll jist have to wait and see." thought Hope. "That's good news. It would have been a shame if you hadn't had enjoyed your meal," replied Crowley.

"I honestly have ny doubts. He wouldn't want to give up his occupation but I reckon she'd want him to." thought Hope.

"It's usually for far worse hardships than that I think. Do you reckon your little setup is working for Anna?"

"It's fine. I'll just find something to block it out if they keep at it."

"The corner of my eye was all it took. And it wasn't them talking that bothered me."

Banned for self promotion!

"It might be over but it doesn't make it any less disgusting," thought Hope as she continued to eat her meal. Judging by the look on Shadow's face it seemed he would've agreed with her.

"I think I just lost my appetite," thought Hope.

"That's not something I needed reminding of. Ever."

"Sorry about that. And I don't think there is. You haven't thrown compliments at anyone left right and centre."

"Pretending to transform? He didn't mention that, but I guess it was an eventful time. And that is a little creepy for you, but it could be worse; you could have a mental link or even some of his personality."

"True, but I heard about them though. Apparently Shadow decided to try his hand at hunting again. Unfortunately the werehogs were rather resilient. Nearly overwhelmed him he said. Not a nice way to go."

"Oh no, no more zone hopping. I want my feet kept firmly planted here. Knowing our luck we'd stumble across the cannibal zone or something." joked Hope.

Hope laughed internally as well. "Yes I imagine it goes something like 'but Amy I love y-' whack!"

"Amy's not crazy. She used to chase Sonuc around and does use a hammer, but she's not violent or off the wall like this Rosy girl. If anything she's an upbeat optimist, with an almost frightening faith in Shadow to do the right thing given they aren't exactly well known to each other. I wonder what her other alternates are like. I bet somewhere there's probably an Amy trying to avoid the advances of an amorous Sonic."

"You've nothing to apologise for. I'm guessing she's Amy's Moebian counterpart?"

Hope laughed in her head.."Yeah it's the stuff on the outside. Taking a hammer to meat is tenderising it. People do it with steak." "Well there just isn't that much to talk about at the moment," she said outloud.

"I'm sure they remembered, and it just looks like battered fish. You should like it."

"Good point," thought Hope as she began to eat her meal, as did her co workers.

"No I doubt it was anything sinister. It could be to impress them, or maybe they're looking for a good tip."

"That was fast service," thought Hope.

"Not at all my dear. Someone has to take your side," replied Crowley.

"Wwll can you save the disciplining for another night. They're here to enjoy themselves," said Crowley.
