They were at a village and had each ice cream, Nebula had vanilla and Shadow had strawberry. What they don't know is that Sonic and his friends are spying on them.

"Uh Nebula, does your ice cream taste well?" Shadow wondered.

"Yup, I like vanilla flavor my friend" Nebula said and licked her ice cream. Shadow chuckled and the two walk through the village. Shadow then noticed Sticks looking around for something.

"Hmm, Sticks seems a bit curious" Shadow shrugs and follows Nebula.

Sticks tip toes towards them without being seen, watching the two hedgehogs having their ice cream.

But Shadow's ear twitched when he heard Sticks step on a twig.

"Surprised to see me?" Shadow said to Sticks.

"Eh, hi Shadow. How are you doing? Still not wanting to be on the team?" Sticks said.

"No thanks, Sticks. I work alone, well if you excuse me, Nebula and I have other plans to do" Shadow said to Sticks.

"Its nice meeting you, Sticks" Nebula pats Sticks' head.

"Same for you, Nebula. I need to find somewhere I can...uh...find boomerangs" Sticks lied with a grin. Shadow and Nebula continued their walk.

"She seems nice. The clothes that she wears, she looks like she's a.....feral badger" Nebula guessed, not sure if she's right.

"She is, she does not understand most things" Shadow answered.

"Oh, okay" Nebula said, they head back to the jungle where they can do some wild stuff.

They jumped between the trees and even swings with vines. Shadow heard the monkeys in the trees screeching. He then did his best Tarzan Yell.

"YAAAAAAAHAAAAAHAHAAAAAAAA!" he yelled and swings past Nebula.

"Not bad, hedgehog" Nebula smirked and jumps from tree to tree like a leaping lemur to get ahead of him, "Too slow"

"Oh, yeah?!" Shadow grins and swings to a tree to jump, he jumped between them and spins around on a branch. He then stands on his feet on the branch and poses.

"Nah, you are slow" Shadow taunted her.

Nebula shrugs in defeat and pushed him off the branch.

"Whoa!"

He fell in the water with a loud splash.

He stuck up his head from the water and looked up to Nebula.

"Hey! That was not funny, Nebula!" Shadow shouted.

"Oh, really? Here I come!" Nebula dives into the water. Shadow got splashed into the face. She came directly to the surface and Shadow chuckled.

"You know Nebs, you look cute when you're wet" Shadow joked.

"Aww.... thanks Shadow, I like how your chest fur goes down" Nebula said. They soon wrestled in the water and splashes at each other.

Sonic and Amy watched them from a tree.

"They seem to be good friends" Amy said sweetly.

"Yeah, he didn't go crazy, he just got softened" Sonic said and rubs Amy's cheek.

The End.
