The Passion Of The Sanic

Chapter 4: Sanic Grows Up

Throughout his years of schooling, Sanic continued to build his reputation. Rouge ended up moving to another school, so no new kids heard about the incident with Tails, and he had even convinced Amy that she never saw him kiss Shadow.

Sanic decided his relationship with Shadow ought to be a secret. The last thing he needed was the entire 3rd grade knowing about him being gay. One day in 3rd grade, he told Shadow:

"We need to split up."

"What! Why? We were so happy..." Shadow replied

"No no. I mean just pretend." Sanic said. He put his hand on Shadows cheek. "I still love you. What I mean is we pretend we're apart, so nobody suspects anything."

"Oh I understand." Shadow said. "So you like pretend to date Amy, and I'll pretend to date Maria."

"Who's Maria?" Sanic asked.

"She's a human girl. She's stunningly beautiful...not as beautiful as you, of course." Shadow added at a look of jealousy on Sanic's face.

"Alright, then it's a deal." Sanic said. He kissed him on the cheek, and went to "ask Amy out."

Sanic "dated" Amy throughout highschool. And after that, they got "married." Every Wednesday night, he and Shadow would go "bowling." Amy never suspected a thing. But one night...

"I'm off honey!" Sanic said.

"Off where?" Amy yelled from the kitchen as she was doing the dishes.

"Well it's Wednesday isn't it? It's bowling night, sweetie." Sanic said.

"Pookie-bear." Amy said in an uncertain tone. "Listen. I don't think you should hang with Shadow."

"What? Why?" Sanic said.

"Well..." Amy said still uncertain. "The other day I was at Starbucks, and I saw him sitting with Dr. Eggman."

"So what?" Sanic asked, a tone of aggravation in his voice.

"So what! Dr. Eggman is your rival! They were there with that filthy hooker bat from preschool! They're planning something!" Amy said. Sanic opened the door.

"Well there's only one way to find out." He said. "I'll be home by midnight." He stepped out. And started up the car.

When he arrived at the bowling alley he unloaded from the car. No sign of Shadow. He's probably running late Sanic thought. He felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned sharply and punched the person in the face. He looked down and saw his father on the ground, with his hand on his cheek.

"Dad!" Sanic said. He knelt down and helped him up. "Sorry, I'm a little bit jumpy tonight. What are you doing here?"

"He's got your mom." Joseph said.

"What? Who's got Mom? Dad?" Sanic asked confused.

"Eggman..."
