Sonic The Hedgehog: Dusted

Blipped (1/4) Time Gone by...

(5 years after the Dusting...)

In a lone city across the globe in the country of Coahuila, people hustled and bustled through their busy day as the food market was in business.

Seller 1: ¡Pez! ¡Trae tu pescado aquí!

Seller 2: ¡Compre dos bolsas de tomates y llévese una bolsa de cebollas gratis!

At one not these stands, a figure in a cloak walked through the masses towards one of the stands that sold meat.

Seller 3: ¡Ven por tu carne! ¡Tenemos ballenas rojas, blancas, oscuras e incluso!

???: Buenos días Pedro, espero que estés en stock hoy...

The man looked up and saw the cloaked figure looking at him with a grin.

Pedro: ¡Sombra! Dios mío, ¿cuánto tiempo ha pasado, 7 meses?

Shadow: Me alegro de verte Pedro.

The two met with hug across the counter before returning to business.

Pedro: Entonces, ¿qué puedo traerte hoy? ¿Toro? ¿Ballena? ¿Quizás Parrot para variar?

Shadow: Sólo Dos pollos con tu curry vegetariano especial. Pensé en probar una nueva receta.

Pedro: (Chuckles) ¡Lo entendiste! Eso es lo que me gusta de tu Sombra, ¡siempre probando algo nuevo!

Shadow grinned before Pedro handed him two bags, one with chicken and the other with a wide array of Vegetables and spices.

Taking them, he left some rings on the counter before taking his leave.

On the way back to his home, he turned to his side to see 3 wolves bullying a little Mobian cat girl. His eyes narrowed as he placed his bought goods in a basket before vanishing into the crowd.

Little girl: ¡Vamos chicos, es mío! ¡Devolvérsela!

Bully 1: ¿Oh sí? ¿Qué puedes hacer al respecto?

As he said that, Shadow appeared above them as a shadow, double any of their heights and standing in front of them staring with red eyes.

Shadow: Para empezar... Podrías nivelar a esta chica sola...

They looked at him shaking, dropping the doll they had taken from the girl.

All 3 bullies: ¡La daga encubierta! ¡Correr!!!

Taking off while bumbling into each-other, Shadow knelt down to help the girl up and give her back her doll.

Little girl: ¡Gracias Señor!

Ruffling her hair, the girl ran off as Shadow moved away from the crowds, grabbing his groceries before leaving.

Returning to his makeshift home in a corner apartment, he flipped the light switch only for the bulb to explode a second later.

Shadow: Gah, Figures...

He moved past his broken light to a nearby table with a makeshift nest. In it, his pet dark Chao lied still and sleeping. It opened its eyes as Shadow smiled and patted it.

Shadow: It's okay Edge, I missed you too...

The Chao grumbled and went back to sleep as Shadow rolled his eyes.

Moving along, he set up everything in his kitchen And started preparing his dinner at a record pace, Cooking the chicken to perfection while chopping the vegetables with the skill of a master chef.
