Sonic's POV
That morning as everybody sat down I noticed Shadow seemed a bit more.... relaxed?
Can't believe I am saying this but the dude actually looked comfortable.
Me: "Shads... umm you... you good?"
Shadow: "Hm? Yeah I'm fine?"
Me: "You sure."
I stepped closer, inspecting his face.
Shadow: "What are you getting at Blue?"
Me: "I don't know really you just seem.... less tense? I don't know.... were you like drugged or something?"
He gave me a look as if to say 'you are an idiot'.
Rouge: "Big Blue's right, you do seem more relaxed..."
THANK YOU ROUGE!!
Shadow: "I just.... remember some things...."
Me: "Liiiiike?"
Tails: "Sonic we shouldn't-"
Shadow: "Like my whole life is a fucking lie."
Ames gently placed a hand on his shoulder and he leaned into her touch.
Me: "What is that supposed to mean?"
Shadow: "Honestly... I am not that sure myself.... I am still fitting these memories together...."
He looked mildly annoyed, but shook his head as if trying to decide on something.
Cream: "Miss Amy your dress is so pretty!"
It was then I noticed.
She looked just like a princess. A red gown, a bit big in the skirt with glitter.... but she looked absolutely amazing.
I then noticed somebody else was dressed nice.
Me: "What's with the suit?"
I gestured to Shads, he looked so dorky!
Shadow: "I got jumped by Memphis and my father in the hallway."
Rouge: "When did you start calling Black Doom your father?"
He stiffened and looked down awkwardly.
Me: "Shadow...?"
Memphis suddenly ran in and hugged Shadow from behind.... does this guy have a death wish orrrrr???
Memphis: "Mothers home! She is going to be so happy to see yo*Dramatic gasp* we should do a feast! DAD!!!!"
With that he ran off again, extremely excited.
Shadow: "He is such a child."
He groaned as he covered his mouth, but I could tell.... he was smiling.

Tail's POV
I kept glancing around the massive halls. Silver and I are apparently the only two people who were interested in the tour Eclipse offered. Silver wanted to know the heritage, I wanted to know the science. Win-win.
Eclipse: "THIS! is the gallery of warriors. One day I will be on here.... one day."
He looked pretty determined.
???: "LOOK OUT!!!"
Eclipse suddenly grabbed us and we saw a small rocket fly by us.
???: "DAMMIT!! ECLIPSE WHY DIDN'T YOU CATCH THAT?!"
We looked up to see a pale silver colored hedgehog... and she looked pissed
Eclipse: "Liv, I can't catch all your death traps..."
???: "That is Olivia to you, Shorty."
She looked.... oddly familiar.
Silver: "Umm, I think it went"
BOOM
Well if she wasn't pissed before she is now.
Olivia: "SEVEN WEEKS TO BUILD THAT!! SEVEN LIFE DRAINING WEEKS!!!!"
Eclipse: "Not like it would have worked anyways."
Olivia: "OH kiss your fathers ass!"
A very, um, burnt Memphis came down the hall.
Memphis: "I believe this is yours..."
He held a small mangled and recently exploded rocket.
Olivia: "Ummmm no?"
Memphis: "How many times have I told you to be careful?!"
She rolled her eyes as she snatched the small rocket.
Me: "Ummm, who are you?"
Olivia: "Olivia the Hedgehog, young genius and prisoner of this hell-scape."
Memphis: "For the last time, stranded! You crashed here! You can't keep saying we kidnapped you!"
Olivia: "Whatever."
I then noticed her arm... it seemed... metallic?
Me: "Is that a prosthetic?"
Her eyes shone with pride as she rolled up her sleeve.
Olivia: "Nope! It is my cybernetic upgrade! I lost my arm in the crash and made something way better with the remains of my ship!"
It was amazing! The wiring was perfect and the emulsifying agents were connected beautifully!
Memphis: "Babe.... please stop flexing about your arm."
She rolled her eyes at him again.
Eclipse: "Ummm lets just continue the tour and leave these two b-"
He was floating in thin air now as an orange light surrounded him.
Me: "Silver?"
Silver shook his head in shock.
I turned to the girl arguing with Memphis, her hand glowing orange.
Oh. I think I may have discovered who his parents are.......
