Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow walked over with Hope. "You all set to go?"

"I'd say it's best to just ask her which she'd prefer. It is her birthday after all.," said Rouge.

"17th of the 9th if I remember correctly."

Granted, but the fish will be taken from you 10 minutes after you get it to be fried.. I wish for a talking Tails Doll plush.

"I don't really know how it'd affect their age. They might not even know how old they are."

"That just doesn't sound right," joked Rouge.

"Haha yeah. I wonder what Melody will be like."

"You'll probably change but I can't see you being the mopy type. Maybe more rebellious, perhaps."

"Haha. I don't think you did, otherwise you'd be a lot more mopy."

"You're starting to sound like Shadow when he's angry. Except he doesn't grin," joked Rouge.

"The threat of sabotage has passed so we're back on holiday and coming back. I'm just glad we caught her so quickly. Crowley might disappear for a bit to interrogate the saboteur but that's it."

"There's a little. Let me get it for you hon." Rouge grabbed some tissue and wet it in the sink, beforing dabbing it to remove the last of the blood. "There, you look good as new."

Rouge waited for Skye to finish and walked over. "Well I'll say I'm impressed. Most kids your age would forget about that when trying to cover up an injury. You need a hand?"

Hope just laughed as Shadow got her some pain killers for later.

"Hehe. It was already here before you apparently."

Granted, you get norovirus a week after your cold clears. I wish for a gold bar.

"Well if you ever want to come back to the lab Skye you're always welcome. I just hope things won't be as eventful. Speaking of which, would you mind if I stayed with you tonight Shadow, just while my room is sweeped for bombs and the like." "Sure thing Hope. Guess I'm sleeping on the sofa tonight," he replied. "I guess that is one way of looking at it. I think I heard Melody calling for both of you," said Crowley.

Glad to have you back Survivor.

"Hehe your restraint is a wise choice."

"Heh. If you say so Glen. I'm not much of an expert in that area."

Crowley chuckled. "I'm sure you'd prefer a beautiful woman for company as opposed to an assassin who looks like he was spawned from Hell. In all seriousness, yes it is nice to have friends you can trust."

"I guess you're right. It could have been a lot worse," said Hope with a small smile.

"Thank you Skye. I'm so sorry," she said, trying her hardest to stay composed.

Shadow went over to the now conscious Hope, who had burst into tears knowing what she had tried to do. Shadow did his best to comfort. "It wasn't you doing that. It was that psycho who put the chip in your neck."
