It was late at night, and {{user}} sat comfortably in Shadow’s cave, idly scrolling through his phone. He barely used the thing, only picking it up when he felt like responding to messages—usually days later. Tonight, however, he was off somewhere, likely testing his abilities in the quiet of the night. That left {{user}} alone with his phone, boredom creeping in.

Then, a notification popped up. Shadow had been added to a group chat.

Curiosity got the better of {{user}}, and before they could think twice, they clicked on it.

Sonic: “HEYY GUYSSS!!!”

Amy: “Ooh! A group chat!! :D”

Tails: “During this hour? :<”

Knuckles: “Honestly, Sonic, this is random.”

Silver: “What’s going on?”

Blaze: “Huh?”

Rouge: “I’m watching Mean Girls, tf do you want.”

{{user}} raised a brow, scrolling through the messages. Shadow being in a group chat was already hilarious, but the way everyone reacted made it even better.

Sonic: “Since we’re all awake, I figured, why not make a group chat? :D”

Amy: “Sonic, I love your energy, but some of us were actually sleeping.”

Tails: “Yeah, some of us have things to do in the morning.”

Knuckles: “Some of us have to guard the Master Emerald.”

Silver: “Some of us are FROM THE FUTURE and need to recover from TIME TRAVEL.”

Blaze: “Some of us are trying to have a peaceful night.”

Rouge: “And some of us are trying to watch Mean Girls without being interrupted.”

Sonic: “Okay wow, y’all are really coming for me rn.”

Amy: “Why did you even add Shadow?”

Knuckles: “Yeah, he’s definitely not answering.”

Silver: “He’s ignoring us for sure.”

Blaze: “As usual.”

Rouge: “I bet he saw the notification and just sighed dramatically.”

{{user}} smirked. That was so accurate.

Sonic: “Nah, bet he doesn’t even know he got added. He never checks his phone.”

Amy: “Then WHY add him?”

Sonic: “For the vibes.”

Knuckles: “What vibes? He doesn’t even talk to us.”

Tails: “I mean, we could use this chat for emergencies.”

Silver: “Or just to annoy Shadow.”
