Shadow x

Techno-teacher

It is early morning, and Shadow was outside standing atop the roof of the garage. Suddenly he leaps down from the roof and takes off running. A moment later he runs back and heads to the front door. Amy opens it.

"Hey, where'd you go?" Amy asked.

Just out." Shadow said.

She sighed dreamy.

"He's so mysterious..."

As he walked inside, a close-up of Amy followed him.

Chris was in the dining room having breakfast when Ella walked in with a bowl of fruit, followed by Tanaka, on the phone.

"Thorndyke residence... Very good, sir." Tanaka said and hung up. "Your father has requested I inform you that he and your mother will be stopping by for a visit this afternoon."

"Wow, Ella, they're coming to see me!" Chris said.

"What a nice surprise!" Ella said.

"It's not even my birthday!" he said then realized something. "Uh... Uh-oh..."

"Is there something wrong?" Tanaka asked.

"No. I'm all done. Can I go now?" Chris said stood up.

He stands up.

"Yes. Go ahead." Ella said.

"See you later!" Then he ran out of the room.

Ella blinked in surprise before turning to Tanaka, who looked at her.

"Something is up..." she said.

Chuck, Shadow, Tails, and Amy were in Chuck's workshop also enjoying their breakfast. Chris is standing nearby with his backpack on.

"I've gotta go to school, so I'm counting in you guys to stay out of sight when my parents show up." Chris said.

"Gotcha. No problem." Tails said.

"Yeah, sure! You can count on us." Amy said.

"It won't be for long. Mom and Dad's visits have to be short, as they both have bust schedules." Chris said.

As he spoke, Shadow finished his burger and got up to leave.

"Hey Shadow..." Chris said but Shadow ignored him and was already gone. "Is he mad at me?"

"Don't mind him." Amy said.

Suddenly Chuck pointed to the clock.

"Get going, Chris! You'll be late for school if you don't hurry up." he said and Chris saw that the time is 7:04.

"Whaah!" said.

In his hurry to get down the stairs, he nearly falls.

As he wasn't hurt, everyone sighed in relief. Tails turned to Chuck.

"Chris sure is happy about his folks visiting, huh, Chuck?" he asked.

"Mhm. He is." Chuck said nodding.

"What do they do?" Amy asked.

"Chris' dad is president of a huge software company." he said as a shot was shown of Nelson at his desk at work. "He spends most of his time at the office or travelling on business."

"And what about his mom?"

"She's a star." he said and a shot of Lindsey posing for the cameras was shown. "A famous actress who jets all around the world making movies."

"I bet it's pretty tough for Chris not having his parents around most of the time." Tails said.

Yes."
