What sort of question is that?

I mean, he was a twink when he was Sonic's age.

SHOW ME!

...dammit Shadow.

*Sonic snorts in a laugh.* TWINK TOM HOURS!

I am the youngest of two older brothers. It's both the bane of my existence and the best shit ever.

Tom, your brothers are lunatics.

I'm more than aware. It takes about an entire morning to just convince the boys to get out of their hiding spots when we go visit them.

You do know that is not normal right?

*Tom sighs and nods. The boys take over the stream. They are sitting in the attic.* Well it can get hectic and with Knuckles, privacy doesn't exist unless we lock the doors and he can literally break doors. I care about Tails and Knucks, but I also miss not being flung through a wall for any minor inconvenience. Also having brothers is fun because I can draw them as fish and it's the most hilarious shit ever.

Until you get thrown through a wall. Anyway, being the youngest means I get away with more than what Knucks and Sonic get away with and that's fun.

That's just annoying as fuck, it's not even a benefit to having siblings to me.

Agreed, hedgehog.

I also get scary older brothers privileges.

As the eldest, it is my duty to protect the youngest members of the tribe. It is a very important duty that I take seriously.

You forget that they started dating two weeks after Shadow fully recovered from his injuries.

It was a little funny to watch Shadow walk into a wall and trip on his feet because he kept looking at Sonic instead of where he was going.

Of course they do.

It's one of those things that is hard to hide. You can't hide four entire alien children. They will be noticed and trust me, they are very good at being noticed.

*Sonic walks by and takes a bite from his Kitkat bar.* Because we want to be noticed.

Yeah, if they didn't want to be noticed, they would be making it difficult to find them. *Tom notices how Sonic just chomped on his Kitkat like a heathen.* Kid, please stop doing Kitkat crimes.

Or what?

Or I'll have to arrest you for emotional damage.

You'll have to catch me for that! *Tom grabs Sonic before he can run off and just keeps him in his arms.* You know what? Air jail is fine.

I'll go get the wine.

*Tom and Maddie glance at each other and point at a box on the floor. There is loud purring coming from the box. Black and red quills and blue quills are somewhat visible from within.* Shadow is not the only one who does it.

You love them, you feed them, you give them a bed to sleep in and they decide they prefer the cardboard box.

Now I'm curious. *Sonic and Shadow speed off towards the kitchen, almost bumping into Maddie.*

Woah!

*Sonic grabs an egg from the fridge and places it in the microwave. Shadow starts it up for a minute.* HOLY SHIT!

IT EXPLODES!
