Mackenzie: Kitty DOES NOT own, even though it's the first thing she prays about at night, anyone in this story, Sega does. Bye!

A rather grumpy hedgehog toddler sat in a corner away from everyone. "Why am I here?" he said "I'm a big boy! Not a baby!" He stood shaking his fist and bearing the little fangs he did have. He face dropped when he notice all of his 'playmates' watching him. He sat back in his corner and crossing his arms. "Hmph!"

Just then a pink hedgehog, maybe a year younger than him, shyly walked toward him holding a stuffed bunny. "Hi!" she sat beside him and looked around "So…"

The little male hedgehog turned away from "What do you want, you baby?"

"It's Amy." She smiled

"What?" He finally looked at her "You," she pointed "Called me a baby. My name's Amy!" He blinked at her and rolled his eyes "Hmph…"

"You sure are unhappy…" she sighed while playing with her little bunny. It was pink with a green bow around its neck. "What's your name?" she asked staring at him curiously like he was a tiger in a cage, pretty yet dangerous.

"…Shadow…"

"Sh-a-dow… Shadow!" It seemed as if getting his name right was amazing or something.

"Yea…" he said. His eyes wondered around the room. He longed to play with the other kids, but they were all frightened of him. He was surprise this Amy character even dared to sit by him. Hasn't she heard? He was a monster… evil…

"Do you want to play with me?" Amy asked

Shadow's head turned quickly toward her "P-play with me?"

Amy hugged her bunny closely to her chest "Uh-huh!"

"No…" Shadow said it with no emotion

Amy's grip on her bunny loosened "Oh…" she sighed sadly, but she didn't cry or run away. She just sighed.

"Don't you have any other friends to play with?" he asked

"Yea… I just… Well you're always sitting here by yourself… I just thought maybe you wanted to play." She pushed a loose quill behind her ear.

Before Shadow reply a blue hedgehog followed by a red echidna and orange kitsune stepped in front of him. "Hey look!" the hedgehog exclaimed "Ames's talking to mister weirdo!"

Amy jumped up, never letting go of her stuffed toy. "He's not a weirdo, Sonic!" She shouted "He's nice and cool AND he's my NEW BEST FRIEND!"

Shadow's mind didn't stick on nice and cool, but on BEST FRIEND. "Eh… Amy?"

Sonic growled and stormed off like the spoiled, rich brat he was. "Knuckles, Tails let's go!"

Amy, as if she couldn't believe want she just did, clutched her bunny's arm as she stared down at the floor with wide eyes. She fell on her bottom and just sat there trembling. It wasn't long before tears fell from her shocked face.

"Ah…" Shadow looked around he didn't know how to handle this! He was only five for crying out loud! And that's just what Amy was doing, crying out loud. Everyone was staring at Shadow as if saying he was responsible for this.

"Hey…hey… stop crying, Amy." He tried cooing to her "It's okay. Don't cry." She started to calm down and Shadow felt more comfortable. Hey! He was getting a hang of this! "It's okay, Amy… Shh… Now, don't you worry." He said "It's okay."

"Really?" Amy rubbed her eyes

"Sure! I mean I'm pretty sure you're going to make the same dumb mistake, but that's—"

"I am?" Amy hugged her toy. Tears were forming in eyes again, but of course Shadow didn't see this

"Yea."

"I'M NEVER GOING TO HAVE ANY FRIENDS!" Amy shouted and began to cry once again.

"You really don't get girls' emotions, huh?" a white bat flew beside Amy. "It's okay, Hun." She said hugging Amy "I'll be your friend and so will Shadow." Shadow eyed her but she pretended to be only interesting in calming down Amy.

"How do you know my name?" Shadow asked the bat

"I liked to spy on people... a lot…" She admitted "I'm Rouge."

"Humph…"

"She fell asleep…" Rouge murmured to herself "Let's see… cubby 6? No I think its 5…"

"Wait what does her cubby number has to do with this?" he asked but the bat was already gone "Great." He mumbled he was already having a bad day and this was only the fifth day of Pre-Kindergarden.

He took his black quilt and laid it on top of Amy. He sat back down and drifted off. Even big boys need naptime.

When Rouge returned she held in her hands a pink blanket that had bunnies and flowers decorated on it and a plain purple blanket. She saw Amy sleeping, clutching her bunny of course, under a black quilt. She smiled when she saw Shadow sleeping beside her, his eyes closed but slightly open, alert and ready. Rouge place her blanket over him, she didn't want to embarrass him with Amy's pink one. She laid down beside Amy and closed her eyes, before she knew it she had joined her two new friends in dreamland and boy was it fun!

As everyone laid down for naptime no-one notice the trio in the corner gently sleeping. Rouge and Amy snuggled into each other and Shadow lying with his back toward them, but on his lips was a smile, his first smile. Okay so maybe it wasn't a bad day after all.
