Everybody's Fool
(c-Westopolis from Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow ran hard as he could up the stairs in Sonic's apartment building. The blue blur and himself were on their way to Sonic's apartment, where Knuckles and Eggman were apparently fighting. Sonic reached the door first. Shadow couldn't hear anything, hoping that didn't mean something bad had happened.

Sonic grabbed the doorknob. "Ready?"

Shadow stood ready to dash in. "Yeah."

"GO!"

Three things happened all in the span of less than five seconds. First Sonic threw open the door as Shadow dashed at it. Then Shadow passed threw the opening doorway. Then something happened that would be one of the worst things to happen in the black hedgehog's life.

(c-Lazy DaysLivin' In Paradisefrom Sonic Adventure DX

The bucket over the doorway spilled a fairly large amount of green slop all over Shadow. As if that wasn't bad enough, as it happened, he looked at Knuckles, Tails, Amy, Rouge, and Big all with the same coloured goo on their faces. They also all had similar scowls on their faces. Shadow's eyes narrowed, and he slowly turned around to see Sonic doubled over on his back, laughing like a complete idiot.

"APRIL FOOLS!" the blue hedgehog shouted, laughing even louder.

Shadow slapped himself in the forehead hard, then wiped the slop from it. "...You're just begging me to turn evil again, aren't you, you little bastard?"


After Sonic's sick idea of a party finally got started, Shadow and everyone else began to calm down...moreso after they'd all collectively taken the bucket and dumped more green slop on Sonic himself. NOW it was a party that they could all enjoy. Big and Amy were off talking about something, Team Sonic were trading stories about their adventures, and Rouge and Shadow were sipping on sodas, having a nice chat about their host.

"Can you believe he got ALL of us?" Rouge asked her former Team Dark team-mate. "I mean, we'd all like to say Sonic's a dumbass, but he got ALL of us!"

Shadow rolled his eyes. "Yeah, that doesn't really speak much of us, does it?"

Rouge shook her head. "Plus, Big actually thought it was some kind of food at first and tried to eat it all."

Shadow shuddered in horror. "Oh, good grief! What a complete fucktard...!"

Rouge laughed at Shadow's use of terminology. "Nice! I gotta add that to my vocabulary!"

"By all means." Shadow said. "Now then, we simply MUST talk about getting Sonic back."

Rouge cocked an eyebrow. "We DID, remember?"

"Yes, but I mean fooling him next year." Shadow explained. "I'm thinking something that involves sticky slime and a few bag-fulls of chicken feathers?"

Rouge laughed almost evilly, and the two plotted an April Fool's day for next year that Sonic would not soon forget...


A/N: I know, really short and rushed, but once again, I got in the basic concept I wanted to write about.

Well, as always, read and review, folks! J.A. out!
