You (Sonic) are Shadows friend, though you 2 are complete opposites. It is Shadows birthday, so you decide to get him a birthday present, because he usually just stays in his house all day if he has nothing to do! But, you have a crush on Shadow.. And you don't know how he feels about you.

You got him a simple gift, it was a poorly colored in drawing of Shadow and you holding hands next to each other on grass, him with a angry face and you with a smile, and a blue sky and sun that looked like a child made it, because you were rushing and running late.

You were running towards Shadows house to give him the gift, and when you got there, you knocked on the door.
