Um my pills?

What were they for again?

Oh that thing that um... Mobian who is always at that place I visit. He wears a white coat. He also always has a thing hung around this neck. I think it was a thing that listened to your heart rate or something.

But the problem is...
Where did I put my pills?

I search around the surrounding area. The only area I actually remembered at the moment. My house. I looked around till I see a yellow sticky note on the door in front of me. It was hung there, not really neatly but tilted and it had some letters printed on it in what seems to be rushed handwriting. Was it my hand writing? I stop focusing on the actual handwriting and read the note carefully. It read out 'pills in the kitchen, cabinet under the microwave.'  I go to the room suggested and looked where the note told me to. They were there. It had a white sticker that looked to be covering another sticker underneath it. It read out 'Brain Damage - Forgetfulness'. I took the pills, how the sticker told me to.

I put it back and put the sticky note back on a door that I know I always walk past. Sometimes my memory would be terrible and sometimes it was fine. I'm struggling to remember peoples names. I know that there's a blue hedgehog. I forgot his name so I just call him faker now. Also, that white bat girl that I call batty and the robot I don't have a name for. I've forgotten their names. I just avoid using them or I just make up a 'nickname'. I haven't told anyone that I have brain damage. It's a weakness. A venerability. My enemies can use it against me. I look at the cupboards stickers to see if I was going to the right one for cups. I got one out and poured some water into it. I sipped it gradually, helping me swallow the pills. That's when I heard multiple soft knocks on my door.

"Come in" I yell being lazy. "Shadz?" I hear someone call out. I peak my head around the corner to see who it was. It was that blue hedgehog. And who is this 'Shadz'? "Can I Help you faker?" I ask. "Oh! Your there hehe" he smiled and headed toward me. I nodded then sat back on the chair. "What do you want?" I ask. "Nothing, just wanna hang out with ya! Tails is busy test running a new invention he made and blah blah blah.." Who is this Hedgehog talking about, is tails the one I know as Fox Boy? Or is that the red one? Or maybe even the pink one. damn it. "...blah blah blah blah so yeah I figured that your normally not at work on Fridays so I'd come visit you" he smiled. I nod, pretending that I had been listening. "Well you've seen me now leave. I have much better things to do" I say. I don't know how to act with him. I know I'm a 'friendly rival' of his but that's about it.

"But I wanted to go shopping for the party rouge is having on Sunday" he smiled softly  "party?" I ask. "You don't remember? she invited us all to a party" I simply shook my head. "You said you'd go." He laughed softly. "Oh yea.." I don't even remember saying that. "Well I ruined my nice shirt by spilling chilli on it so I want to get another." He smiled. "Go on your own" I said. "Nooooo that's boring. We don't have to go unless you have something I could borrow." I shook my head once again. "No" "Come on! There's got to be something I could use shadz!" He headed out of the room. "Hey! Where are you going you damn hedgehog!" He quickly follow him. He was heading up my stairs.

I followed him, trying to stop him from going into my bedroom. I failed. He found his way into my bedroom. He jumped across my bed and dropped himself in front of my dresser. "Faker!" I growl. "Whattttt?" He says opening up one of the drawers. I run round and kick it with my foot, making it close back up. He pouted. "Please Shadow" I shook my head at him. "Get out now" I growl. "Please shadow" "stop begging damn it!" I sat on the bed, frustrated. Was he always like this? "Fine, but at least come shopping with me?" He smiles. "Ughhh... Fine" I say frustrated.

He chuckles and smiles, turning to me. He was still on the floor. I got up from the bed and started to head out of the room. He followed me out. We walked down the stairs. "I've never been upstairs in your house, it's really nice." He compliments. "Thanks I guess" I could practically feel the smile on his face.

I grabbed a jacket and headed out with him. I can't even remember him, I'll just have to trust him. We talked and walked to the mall. He seems like a nice guy but he can be very annoying but I found out that we are actually rivals. He started talking about how weird it is that he is now friends with his rival. I mean- I guess he could be a friend?

We arrived at the mall. " which store do you wanna go to first?" He asked with a smile. "It's up to you, we came here for you" "well let's head in here" he pulled me into a store named 'chaos clothing' and we looked around. He seemed to like some things, but I noticed that he was putting it next to him to see if it matched his fur colour. He seemed to be humming a song. My ears twitched at the slight noise.

I think he noticed it, he smiled at me. Faker picked up a few pieces of clothing and took them to the changing room. He slid the curtain across and put on one of the items of clothing. Once he finished he came out. He wore a black shirt, it was a button up one. He had the sleeves rolled up his arms. "What do you think Shadz?" He pulled down at the bottom of his shirt. "It looks nice, what is it like without the sleeves rolled up?" I ask. "It's normal but I don't like wearing shirts with long sleeves" he chuckled softly. "Okay, are you going to try the other one on or not?" I ask. "It's the same but navy blue" I nod at him. He closes the curtains and changes back into his original shirt. He opens the curtains and leaves the changing room, I follow him out. "Y'know Shadz, this white shirt would suit you" he held it up against me.

I just look at what he's doing. "Your acting like a mother with her child." I chuckled softly. "Hey! I'm not your mother!" A light pink blush painted across his face. "Of course not, I'm too good looking" I joke for once. A soft laugh rang through my ears but suddenly stopped. He put out his lip, forming a pout, he looked like a child, it was obvious that he was meaning to. "And I'm bad looking faker?" I simply shrug, avoiding the question. Who am I to say? "Now you look like the child, put the lip away" he smiled "okay oldie" he chuckled. "I prefer the term timeless" I reply. "Sure you would" "Whatever let's just go pay for the shirts your buying" he nodded and grabbed my wrist, leading me toward the check out.

He pays for the shirts and we leave. "Wanna get lunch?" He asks. I shrug. I wasn't hungry nor full. "Whatever you wanna do, if you wanna go for lunch then I'm up for it, I could eat something" I say. He nods. We continue to walk, trying to find the food court we had casual conversation but he suddenly sprung up a question. "Faker? Why are you being nice to me?" He asks, "am I not supposed to?" I ask, tilting my head like a confused puppy. "No! No, it's just not like you, you just normally ignore me or call me annoying, but your interacting with me" he smiled. So I'm normally mean to this Mobian? Am I not supposed to like him? "U-um I guess your not being annoying today." "Like but in the shop you would normally push the shirt away instead of joke." I look into his emerald eyes. Noting about them faltered, they looked as if they were speaking truth. "Well I guess I've changed?" I say.

He turns and looks off in another direction. Not another word was said until we reached the food court. I think something is on his mind. I mean- what do we normally do. I can't remember and he's not really talking about anything else I used to do when he was around. I might try gain more information but not get caught. He can't know my condition. He mentioned that we were rivals. But like friendly rivals? I pushed the heavy door of the food court open, Faker following me in. "What do you wanna get?" His voice was shaken and soft. I didn't want to point it out just in case it was something serious or it was completely random.

"I don't want much, maybe a coffee and a muffin, what are you getting, faker?" I ask. "Probably just something light like a sandwich or something." This want a random thing. His voice was still soft and shaken, it was hard to hear in the loud surrounded place I just realised that he was holding my hand now instead of me wrist like earlier, I think he noticed because once he saw me looking at out hands he pulled his away from mine. I nod my head. We go to order then find a table. We find a table nearby a window. We sat there. I think I put sonic in a bad mood. He wasn't talking much. "So... um... how are your friends?" I ask. I need to try remember these people. He looked at me. His ears were slightly pinned back. He looked shy. "Our friends Shadow...and they are okay" "why didn't you just go shopping with them instead of me?" I ask. "I told you that this morning." "Oh yeah" I can't remember that. When? Was it while we were out or was it while we were back home. "Shadow can I ask you something?" He looks into my eyes. His emerald piercing through my ruby. I nodded. He opened his mouth about to say something, but got interrupted by someone bringing out food. "Coffee and muffin for you sir" she said putting it down in front of me with a smile. "And a ham sandwich and OJ for you child" he gave him a light hearted smile also.

"Thank you" i look, She winked and walked off, to do her job. "What the hell?" Faker frowned as she walked off. "What?" I look at him. "She thought I was a kid" he growled softly "I'm sure she didn't mean to, it was probably a mistake." "Says the guy so obviously seemed to like. He winked at you" he takes a bite out of his sandwich. "Not like I care about that though" he looked away. "it's just a girl. I'm sure there's plenty more that like you" "it's not that" he sighed. "What is it then?" I ask. I broke a bit of the muffin off and put it in my mouth. "It doesn't matter" "okay." He continued to eat his sandwich. "What was you going to ask me earlier?" He finished then it he had in his mouth. "Oh yeah, well it's about this morning" I nod, telling him to continue. "Well... I was coming down into your garden and you were taking some pills. I saw it from the window. It was in a weird container" I nod. "What were the pills for?" My eyes go wide. "Ummm..." I try to think up a excuse. I take a sip of my coffee while I do. Faker was still staring at me. He was waiting for an answer. I put down my coffee. "It's vitamins" that was a stupid answer. I don't need vitamins. But does he know that.

I break off some more of the muffin and eat it. "Your telling lies" he was looking into my eyes. I could feel it. "What?" I look back up at him. He had a fix stare. "That's not what the label said. "Oh f-" I cut myself off I didn't want to cuss in front of him. "Shadow can you remember how we met?" I slowly nodded my head. Now I think about it I do. But only slightly. "How then?" He wanted proof. "I can't remember why but we were fighting" he nodded. His face seemed to glow. "You remember?" He asks. "Slightly." He smiled. He looked like he was beaming. He finished the sandwich while I finished my muffin. "Can you remember anything else?" He asks. I shake my head. He looked sad but he kept smiling. "Well why didn't you tell anyone you have br-" "sh! I don't want other Mobians to know" he nodded in understanding. "Shadow.... do you remember my name?" He asks. I shake my head in disappointment. "It's okay. My name is Sonic" he smiled. "Sonic?" He nodded. "I like that name." He smiled at he. Learn something new every day I guess. I'll forget it soon though.

"Shadow, who else knows about your condition?" He asks. "No one. I haven't let anyone know" I look away. "Awh shad" His expression changes. He look more sad. "Well if you don't want propel to know yet it's okay but won't you need someone to help you?" He asks. "Look Sonic I don't wanna talk about this" he sighed at my response "okay" "let's go home" he nods. We stand up and he enthusiastically links onto my arm like a child. "What are you doing faker?" I ask. "Nothinggggg" a light blush appears across his cheeks. I shrugged it off and walked back home.

I walked into my house, finally getting Sonic to let go of my arm. I placed my house keys on a side table and walk into my living room and fall onto my sofa. Then I fell a heavy weight suddenly on my back, taking the breath out of me. "Oof!" I groan. I hear sonic chuckle into my ear. "Get off" I groan. He smiles and sits up. I turn around and see sonic. "What?" He was smiling at me. "Can I spend the night here?" I groan "no" "Please!" "No" "aw come on shadz!" "Go away" "pleaseeeee" "no" "pleaseeeee" "Ugh Fine" he claps and cheers at himself in victory.

I knew that my sofa was a pull out bed so I made it up for him. Like I said, my house was one of the only places I can remember. I'm there most of the time and I knew it the most. I went upstairs and brung down some blankets and pillows for him. I put them down on the pull out bed and fixed it for him. He thanked me and I walked up stairs for bed and went to sleep.
