After watching the movie, Shadow was a little amazed at this but he never saw dinosaurs in his life. He was a bit scared at the scenes of the Indominus Rex eating the humans and so forth.

"So, they're not actually real. Just computer graphic animation thing?" Shadow asked.

"Yup. But the Apatosaurus and the raptors in some scenes are an animatronic" Nebula explains to him.

"Basically robots. Indomius Rex is really not a dinosaur" Shadow said.

"Nope, it's mixed into other DNA dinosaurs" Nebula said.

"I see. So dinosaurs do exist but they're not on your planet anymore?" Shadow asked.

"Yes they did exist on Earth million years ago but they went extinct. Nobody knows what caused them to go extinct but we guess that it's the meteor that fell on the planet. Now that we're in the present time, paleontologists dig up the ground and find dinosaur bones known as fossils" Nebula said.

"Cool" Shadow said.

"The funny thing is that recently the hen is proven to be a descendant to Tyrannosaurus Rex" Nebula added.

"That means that some of meat-eating dinosaurs evolved to birds" Shadow said.

"Yup, though we're not exactly sure if they are. Because mobians and humans didn't appear on Earth yet when the dinosaurs went extinct" Nebula said.

Suddenly, Shadow felt something climbing on his quills. He grabs the thing out of his quills and pulls it out. It was a black non-mobian cat with slit yellow eyes.

"Oh, this is my pet cat Midnight" Nebula said.

"A cat?" Shadow looks at the black cat, "Is it an animal? It looks almost like Blaze but different"

"This is a non-mobian cat. There are also non-mobian animals too you know besides birds and Midnight" Nebula said.

"Okay, he looks kinda cute" Shadow said, petting Midnight, hearing him purr softly.

"He's purring" Shadow said.

"Yup. Cats purr when they get excited or getting massaged" Nebula said.

"Wow, your planet is filled with kindness. I guess my father was wrong all along" Shadow said.

"Yup. Oh, the sun is setting down" Nebula said, almost floating up and slowly flies to the balcony glass door.

Shadow got a pure surprised expression of seeing Nebula fly, "You can fly?"

"Yep, I can also fire purple energy bolts and super strength depending on my mood" Nebula said.

"Cool" Shadow said, following her to the balcony and saw the sun setting down, "Uh...the sun? Why is it going down?"

"Oh, the sun isn't actually moving. It's always in the same position all the time" Nebula said, "Let me show you how exactly the Earth does" she takes out her iPhone6 and taps on the 'Safari' icon, searching for the video of the Earth's Motions.

Shadow looked at the video and heard that the Earth has two types of motions, rotation and revolution. It mentions that the side that faces the sun becomes day and the dark side of the earth is night. He saw that it makes both day and night half's of Earth and that it's called the circle of illumination and that spinning around the sun takes 365 days and a day sometimes during February.

"Amazing. I've never seen anything similar" Shadow said.

"Yup. And that over there is the moon" Nebula points at the moon in the sky, "You saw the moon and passed it when you arrived here on Earth, did you?" she asked.

"Yup. My planet has moons as well" Shadow said, "Say, Nebula. Can you fly me around the city? I want to see what it looks like when I'm up in the air"

"Sure Shadow, if you don't have fear of heights" Nebula said.

"I don't" Shadow said. Nebula picks up Shadow and held him close to her, lifting off the ground and flew away from her home to the city. As they came to the middle of Station Square, Shadow saw many city lights and neon-signs on the streets and buildings. He was amazed at seeing a beautiful city like this.

They flew to the highest tower in the city and lands on top on it. They sat on the edge of it and looked over the city.

"Wow....I've never seen this city so big" Shadow said.

"Yep. It's one of the best cities in the world" Nebula said.

"Cool. I guess tomorrow I need to get the chaos emeralds" Shadow said.

"Maybe I can help you find them tomorrow. But I think the Master Emerald stays on Angel Island. Without it, the floating island will collapse and die" Nebula said.

"Alright I'll just ask for the chaos emeralds" Shadow said.

"But beware, Knuckles the guardian has a really short temper and breaks your back in a second if possible" Nebula said.

"But he can't withstand my stealth I've got" Shadow said.

"Alright. I better come with you. I know someone who can transport us there" Nebula said to Shadow.

"Who?"

"Miles Tails Prower, he's got an airplane" Nebula tells him, "Don't worry. Tomorrow we'll go to his place and ask him. Now let's head back to my place"

"Okay. And thank you for the flight ride....it was amazing that you flew" Shadow said, getting carried in her arms.

"Thanks" Nebula smiled and held him tight so that she can fly back to her place.

"You know, I've never seen stars in the sky so far away" Shadow said, holding onto her.

"It's great. I better ask Tails if you need rocket-boots" Nebula said.

"No thanks, the chaos emeralds may help me with that" Shadow said.

"Okay then have it your way" Nebula said.

They arrived back at Nebula's house and they got in, Nebula yawned a bit since she was a bit tired.

"What a day, Shads" Nebula yawned.

"Shads?" Shadow was curious of his nickname.

"It's your nickname Shadow, Shads" Nebula said.

"I like it, but sounds too soft for an alien hedgehog like me" Shadow said.

"I understand, well I got to feed Midnight before I go to bed" Nebula said and goes to Midnight's food bowl to pour cat food into it.

Shadow goes to the guest bed and tries it. He really felt it was soft enough and he took off his shoes and placed them next to the bed. Then he takes the blanket and had his head on the pillow.

"Man, this is so soft" Shadow purred.

Nebula saw him on the guest bed and shook her head smiling.

"Good night Shadow" Nebula said to him.

"Good night Nebula" Shadow said quietly.

Nebula then goes to brush her teeth and takes out a red toothbrush for Shadow.

"Whoops, you forgot to brush your teeth" Nebula spoke to Shadow from the bathroom.

"They are fine right now Nebs" Shadow said.

"Okay, there's a toothbrush for you" Nebula said. She brushed her teeth and goes to her own bed, changing to her black shirt and black sport shorts. Her cat Midnight joined her and rests near her feet.

At Planet Doom

Black Doom was in a chamber creating something from his third eye. It was a being colored mostly gray with red stripes on his head and arms. He had black-colored sclera with gold irises.

"Now Eclipse, find Shadow and see so he won't ally with the earthlings" Black Doom said to him.

"Yes father, I will find him" Eclipse said and runs to his spacecraft, flying towards Earth. Black Doom chuckled evilly at that Eclipse will do a better job than Shadow to bring the chaos emeralds to destroy Earth.
