Shadow got out of the men's shower room and dried himself up, putting on his gloves, gold cuffs, and his hover shoes. He walks outside to have another race against the fastest non-mobian cheetah again.

"Mrawwww" the cheetah, whose name is Kasi, meowed at Shadow.

"Alright Kasi, get ready!" Shadow smirks at her.

They both got on the starting mark of the track field to begin the race.

"Ready, set, GO!" the coach shouted and waved the flag. Shadow and Kasi ran at the same time. Luckily Shadow decided to not use the boosters to not give Kasi a heart attack by stress. Going at the speed of 70 mph was how fast Kasi can run.

"Good girl!" Shadow said, he then turns to see the goal on the other side of the track, he and Kasi ran down the corner to get there.

The two ran toward the goal and Kasi desperately tried to get there first. But too late, Shadow came there first of them. He crossed the line and stops running.

"Rawwrr...." Kasi growled lowly that she lost but shook it off, knowing she'll get faster than Shadow next time.

"The next time I challenge you I'll have wear sneakers" Shadow said. He then saw his record on the screen. It was 28 seconds.

"Hell yeah. I got my score" Shadow said to himself, "You'll get better, Kasi. Don't beat yourself up" he said to the non-mobian cheetah.

Kasi shook her head and walks away to rest. Shadow shrugs and goes to the bleachers to have a view over the tracks. He then took out his iPhone and looked at the family picture he had.

"Hmm..... I wonder how Neptune would react if I brought him the plush I had as a child" Shadow wondered, he took out his old alien-made plush doll. He thought of leaving it on his former alien home planet but changed his mind. His friends didn't even notice that he still has the doll. He then goes up to Kasi who was sleeping, petting her between the ears, hearing her purr lowly.

"*Puuuuuuuurrrrrr*"

At the Astronomy Research Facility; Silver was doing his job outside, checking the satellite dish while hovering in the air. That was until he senses someone behind him that is also able to fly.

"Long time no see, Silver" a male voice said.

"Damien?" Silver turns around and sees a dark purple male hedgehog with black dyed streaks on his forelocks, and same sky blue eyes like Nebula's. He wore black fingerless gloves, spiked cuffs, black tight pants, black shirt, and black biker boots.

"It's been a while. Say, where's my little sister Nebula?" Damien asked.

"Uhhh....I don't think she'll be very happy to see you. It's a bad idea if you meet her again. How long has it been when you moved to London?" Silver said, a little tensed up.

"12 years ago" Damien said.

"Oh okay" Silver said.

"Say, uh, I've heard she has been together with this famous alien hedgehog that saved the world from Black Doom" Damien said.

"Yes. But be careful, she might still be mad at you for destroying her solar system model in 7th grade" Silver said.

"What? That's in the past now. It was an accident" Damien said.

"She wasn't happy about it. We'll see how it goes when you see her again. I gotta get back to work" Silver said, hovering down to the ground.

"Where ever you are sister. I will find you and I hope you are not mad at me anymore" Damien said and flies away, hoping to find Nebula.

Nebula was still at home watching the kids play in the living room. She fed her cat Midnight some cat food and his bowl of milk.

"Wa ga ga!" Neptune crawled up to the glow pet stuffed unicorn to play with it.

"Aw.... you like it don't you Neptune. It makes me sleep well during the night" Raven said.

Neptune looked at Raven and gives her her plush. He then crawled to play with the letter cubes. Just then a knock on the door was heard. Nebula goes to the door and answered it. It was Shadow.

"Hi honey" Shadow gave her a quick kiss on her cheek and walks up to his children.

"I got something for you" Shadow said to Neptune, his hands was behind his back.

"Ga?" Neptune tilts his head.

"TA-DA" Shadow held out his Black Arm plush doll.

"Ga! Ga! Ga!" Neptune squealed in excitement at the alien plush doll.

Nebula saw the alien doll that Shadow left on his former home planet but didn't realize he still has it with him.

"So you kept it?" Nebula said.

"Yep, so Neptune would be happy" Shadow said.

"Good. Well look at him" Nebula saw her son chewing on the toy.

Then the doorbell ringed and Nebula goes up to answer again, when she opened it, she saw that it was Damien. She glares at him.

"Hi little sister" Damien said.

"Hi big brother" Nebula said in a cold tone.

"Long time no see, it's been 12 years since we last met. Can I come in please?" Damien asked.

"What are you doing here in Station Square?" Nebula's eyes glowed a little by her anger.

"Still holding a grudge again, sis? It was an accident" Damien said nervously.

"More like you did it on purpose! You started it in the first place by protecting me from those stupid human bullies you hate so much that you end up falling right on my solar system model project!" Nebula growled.

"Uhhh....hon? Who is this?" Shadow walks up to her.

"My brother Damien Emerald" Nebula grumbled.

"You never told me you have a brother" Shadow said.

"Because I wanted to forget him" Nebula glared at her brother, "Very well, come in Damien"

"Thanks" Damien walked in, he then saw Raven and Neptune.

"Ah Nebula, you got children. Interesting. What's your name? I'm Damien, your Uncle" Damien kneels down to Raven.

"Raven" Raven said and smiled.

"Uncle?" Shadow said curiously to Nebula.

"It's hard to explain, Shads. For example, you and I are married which makes you and Damien brothers-in-law. Raven and Neptune are our kids, which makes Damien their uncle" Nebula explained to her husband.

"I see. And what makes Raven and Neptune become?" Shadow asked.

"Raven becomes Damien's niece and Neptune as Damien's nephew" Nebula said.

"Ah okay. Now I get it" Shadow said. Neptune was cradling up to his Uncle who he never met before.

"Ga go ga" Neptune got to his feet.

"Raven, who's your brother?" Damien asked.

"Neptune. He is a month old. I'm five" Raven said.

"And I can see he's crawling. How did he learn it so fast when he's a month old?" Damien asked.

"He's got my alien genes which makes him learn to crawl fast" Shadow said.

"Interesting" Damien said and picks up his nephew.

"Ca ga ba" Neptune hugged his Uncle's neck.

Nebula rolled her eyes in annoyance and still not sure if she'll give her brother a chance.

"Hey Nebula. Your kids seem happy to see their uncle for the first time" Damien said, tickling Neptune's tummy a little.

"Kyehehehehe" Neptune laughed for being so ticklish.

"Damien. I think you should leave us now" Nebula said.

"Okay, I know you're mad but I'll give you some space" Damien sighs and stops tickling Neptune. He heads to the door and waved 'good bye' to his sister and closed the door.

"Raven, can you take your brother to play with you in your room?" Nebula asked her daughter.

"Okay, mommy. Come on, Neptune. Let's go play in my room" Raven said and Neptune crawled to his sister's room.

"Why did Damien have to come back here?" Nebula grumbled angrily and goes in the living room to sit down on the couch.

"Hun, what's wrong? Why do you feel upset with Damien?" Shadow sits next to her.

"Okay, I'll tell you. It happened a long time ago when I was 13 years old in middle school" Nebula telling him her story.

(Memory Flashback)

13 year-old Nebula was really excited that she got nominated to the Science Fair contest.

"I can't believe I actually got it" Nebula said happily. Her brother Damien goes up to her and smiled at her nomination.

"You did well sis" Damien said.

"Thanks, bro" Nebula squealed, "Can you keep an eye on my project, please? I need to use the bathroom" she said.

"Yeah sure" Damien said. Nebula leaves for the bathroom and Damien stands near the Solar system project. Then suddenly three human teens appeared.

"Hey Damien. Nice sculpture" One of the human teens said. Damien saw that their expression means bad time.

"Thanks but stay away from it. It's my sister's" Damien said.

"Oh is it? Well not anymore!" They were about to attack him but Damien blocked them and back hands them away. Nebula then came back and saw Damien fight the bullies.

"Damien! Don't fight!" Nebula tries to stop him but one bully pushed Damien towards her solar system project. It fell down and all the planets fell down on the floor, the bullies ran away and Damien got up with a groan.

"Sorry Nebula, I tried" Damien said. Nebula was too shocked but was at the same time angry and sad.

"You idiot! Why do you have to start a fight with them? You could've told them to leave but you had to fight them!" Nebula's eyes glowed purple.

"I tried but they was about to ruin it!" Damien tried to explain.

"You are no good at guarding it! Now I have to fix it!" Nebula yelled, "Oh no!" she gasped.

The stage curtains rose up and everyone gasped at Nebula's destroyed project. Nebula was hyperventilating in fright and suddenly froze like a statue due to stage fright.

"Oh no" Silver quickly goes up to her to catch her from tumbling on the stage.

Damien realized what trouble he has caused and ran away from the stage.

(End of Flashback)

"My god" Shadow was stunned.

"Yeah, and I lost the science fair contest. And Damien moved to London to start college and new life. And I never saw him again" Nebula said.

"Well you should put it all behind and apologize to him. You can't stay mad at him forever. Accidents happen" Shadow said.

"I don't know, Shadow. I'm still upset with him. Long ago I told him to not start fights but he didn't listen" Nebula sighs deeply.

"But he tried to defend it. He didn't know what was coming" Shadow held her shoulders. Nebula then sighs in defeat.

"Fine. I guess I was too harsh on him" Nebula said.
