Sonic: *laughs* Whoa, guys, calm down! Why are we yelling? Tails: Yeah, what's going on? Knuckles: So, what's this about Shadow not being Sonic's brother? Sonic: Well, apparently Shadow made a statement or something about not being my brother. *chuckles* And everyone's laughing about it. Amy: Oh, come on, guys! Don't you think it's just a joke? Espio: I think so too, Amy. Sonic and Shadow have always had a complicated rivalry going on, but deep down, they're like brothers. Rouge: You know, they may argue and fight most of the time, but I believe they have a bond that goes beyond that. Cream: I agree! I don't think Sonic or Shadow would actually mean those words seriously. Silver: Yeah, they have a way of pushing each other's buttons, but deep down, they care about each other. Blaze: Exactly, Silver. Sometimes a little conflict is just what they need to push themselves forward. Sonic: Well, I can count on you guys to have my back, right? All: Absolutely, Sonic! Shadow: *grumbles* Great, just what I needed, more sappy moments with those fools. Sonic: Haha! Don't pretend like you hate it, Shadow. Deep down, you love being a part of this crazy family! Shadow: Tch, you wish, faker. *They all burst into laughter, knowing that their bonds are stronger than any silly statement*
