The whole crew was at Vanillas house to celebrate one of the best days of the year. Christmas. Cream, Amy, Vanilla, Vector, Espio, Charmy, Tails, Rouge, Knuckles... even Shadow is there... or at least was.

Sonic notices someone missing and notices that is Shadow. He stops talking to Tails, picks something and goes out side. Its snowing a bit, but not too much. The blue blur then finally sees Shadow.

The black hedgehog is silent, with his arms crossed and looking up, at the sky. Sonic quietly observes Shadow and then decides to start talking. "Hey... Uh... Shadow?" Sonic says as he was expecting Shadow to go away or just insult him, but Shadow didn't. Instead he stayed, without moving a single bit.

The blue hedgehog looks confused at his rival and decides to talk to him again. "What... are you doing...?" He asks with confused tone, as his mind is.

Shadow simply, without taking his eyes of the sky, answers Sonic, with a calm but quiet tone. "Wishing a Merry Christmas to her."

Sonic looks even more confused. "Her? Huh? Who?" He then pauses, looks at the dark night sky. Sonic obseves the bright starts and realizes what his rival was talking about. "Oh."

The blue hedgehog takes a step closer to Shadow and sighs. "I wish her a Merry Christmas too." He says, but not with his usual annoying and loud tone. He said calmly, almost like Shadow, but the dark boy could notice Sonic's genuine and sincere tone, just in that sentence.

Sonic smiles and Shadow keeps his neutral expression. "You know," Shadow starts, bute he hesitates a bit. He decides to continue. "... Maria really liked this time of the year. She... enjoyed herself a lot." He pauses, sighs and looks away.

Sonic's smile grows a bit more sincere and he looks at Shadow. "She looks nice, by what you're saying." The dark hedgehog was about to complain but he looks at Sonic's genuine grin and pauses. "She really was." Shadow continues. "You two aren't so different. Your determination to save and protect everyone, you being nice to everyone and you two really liking helping the others." He looks at the sky again.

Sonic is caught off guard. He didn't know how to react to that. Specifically because from all people it was coming from Shadow. He chuckles a little and pokes Shadow's cheek making him slightly annoyed and giving Sonic an slight death stare.

"Why don't we go inside again now?" The blue boy sugests just to Shadow shake his head in denail. "C'mon! It isn't the same without you." Shadow then looks at Sonic again. His neutal expression face now is a confused one. "Tsk. Ridiculous."

Sonic's smile fades away at Shadow's response but he forces a sad smile. "Christmas is a day to celebrate with people we love, like family or friends." Sonic says trying to convince Shadow, but something catches the dark boy's attention. "Friends?" He asks. "Are we... friends?"

"Of course! We had a lot of adventures together. You might not remember but when we two get into our Super Forms and fight your prototype. Or when we and Silver fight Solaris!" Sonic says looking pround of himself and the others.

"Really?" Shadow asks. "Sure." Sonic says and nods. "Also to prove to you that I'm not lying... this is for you!" He gives the dark hedgehog a box with red wrapping and a bow and ribbons around colored black.

The red striped hedgehog is completely taken off guard. "It isn't a bomb right?" "What?!" "Uh. Nothing." Shadow takes gently the box from Sonic's hands and opens it.

Shadow stares shocked at it. It is a letter with a small text talking about Maria and Shadow's friendship in Sonic's view, with some photos of Shadow and Maria, and other with Shadow and Sonic. And also a little lanvander glued on a corner of the letter.

Shadow with his free hand covers his face as some tears fall from it. Sonic immediately panicks not knowing what do do. "Wait, wait, wait! I didn't mean to make you sad, Shad-" Sonic tries to apolagize but Shadow looks at him and smiles. "Thank you." He says as he wipes his tears away. "And I'm not sad." He adds, making Sonic chuckle a bit. "Glad. Know let's get back inside." He says as he alongside Shadow walk inside again.
