Previously on Part 3, Shadow arrived in the part with the ghost of Christmas Past A.K.A. Knuckles and saw himself as a kid and a teen but things didn't go well when teenage Shadow discovered his friends were having a party without him. Later, he ended up being in his bedroom again and went to sleep. Now on with the story!

Note: Part 4 and 5 might be a little to hard for me since I couldn't think of anything but this is the best I can do and I still hope you guys enjoy it.

Later that night, Shadow started to have trouble falling back to sleep ever since he had that 'dream' of his. Shadow sat up and decided to watch some TV for a while. "Maybe a little bit of TV will help me fall back to sleep." Shadow turned on the TV.

"Merry Christmas! Are you looking for the perfect gift?! Well you..." Shadow changed the channel but in every channel, it was all about Christmas parties, gifts and singing.

"Ugh! Every channel is the same thing! Why don't these people realize that it's just a silly excuse to party all night long and give out stupid presents. Not to mention their horrible Christmas songs." Shadow turned to the very last channel and it showed a blank screen. He tried changing the channel but it didn't work.

*Sarcasm* "Great. Now it's broken. Just like this stupid party all day holiday." Suddenly, the TV opened up a portal.

"Huh?" It began to suck Shadow in.

"Not again!" When Shadow went through the portal, the TV turned off. Soon, Shadow landed on his back, groaning in pain.

"Am I in the past again?"

"Not this time." Shadow turned around and saw a ghost that looked like Tails.

"I am the ghost of Christmas Present. I'm here to show you how your friends actually celebrate Christmas."

"I already know how they celebrate it. By parties, junk food and presents. I think it's just a waste of the holiday. I just wish Christmas was gone forever."

"Be careful what you wish for Shadow. Christmas is not about presents. It's about being with your friends and family and helping others. Besides, if your wish comes true, it might just repeat what happened thousands of years ago."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll find out later. Now let's see what your friends are doing."

"They're just gonna party all night like monkeys." Tails and Shadow walked towards the party that Shadow just destroyed. Shadow looked around and saw that his friends were still cleaning.

"I can't believe Shadow did this." Blaze said.

"Yeah and we have no money to give to the poor." Cream said. Sonic walked by while talking on the phone.

"Ok...I'm sorry to hear that. We'll pray for you. Bye." Sonic hanged up.

"What's up Sonic?" Silver asked.

"It's Magenta. She's getting more sick then ever. Rebecca said that she doesn't have enough money for medical care and if she doesn't get it soon..." Everyone gasped.

"She's fine for now but we'll pray for her right?" Sonic asked.

"Of course we will hun." Rouge said.

"Poor Magenta." Amy said.

"This is all Shadow's fault. If he didn't explode the party and the money, we would of been able to share it with everyone but he just had to ruin it all." Sonic said. Shadow stood there quietly. He didn't know why but he started to feel guilty. Shadow looked at the ghost.

"Where's Y/N?" Tails teleported both of them to Y/N's house. Shadow noticed that he was in her bedroom and he saw her helping a young white tiger who looked very sick.

"Are you sure that you don't mind us staying here for a while?" Rebecca asked.

"I don't mind. I'm not going anywhere anymore anyways."

"Thank you so much Y/N."

"No problem Rebecca." Rebecca looked at Magenta who was laying in bed feeling weak.

"I wish I had enough money to pay for your medical health Magenta."

"It's o-ok." Magenta said as she started coughing roughly. Y/N lowered her ears as she thought about Shadow.

"What's wrong?" Rebecca asked.

"Even though Shadow was rude to us for the past few years, I still love him but he will never feel the same way towards me."

*Thinks* "But I do love you Y/N. Wait? What am I saying? She betrayed me!" Shadow said, thinking to himself. Y/N went to her closet and took out an old present.

"Huh?" Shadow looked at the present confused while Tails was watching quietly.

"What's that?" Rebecca asked.

"This was the present I got for Shadow when we were 13. I was going to give it to him but..."

"Oh...I see." "Maybe one of these Christmas days, I'll be able to give it to him." Y/N said. Magenta continued to cough roughly as Rebecca lowered her ears. Y/N gave her some medicine and a teddy bear. Magenta smiled a little. Shadow lowered his ears.

"To bad though." Tails said.

"Why?" Shadow asked.

"Because this might be the last time you'll see this."

"What do you mean?" Suddenly, Tails snapped his fingers making Shadow fall into the portal making him scream. He soon landed his room again.

"Ghost?" Shadow looked around his room but he was gone. Suddenly Shadow began to yell.

"Stop this already! This is not funny! You guys can't change me! Stop messing with my head!" Shadow climbed to bed and tried to ignore what was going on.
