-☆. Sonic, after winning yet again another race (no surprise there), eagerly ran over to the ebony hedgehog the moment his ceremony was done, smug and proud of himself.

Shadow couldn't help but groan, but despite himself, he decided to be nice for once. "You did... good out there, on the track. I suppose."

"You looooved getting your ass kicked by me, hm?" Sonic responded, and Shadow merely rolled his eyes, pinning Sonic to the front of his car. "Hehe... you're such a sore loser."

Before Shadow could get another word in, he slowly looked up when he heard an amused hawk's voice. "At least have the decency to drive off someplace secluded before you do all that."

"What? Jealous much?" Shadow snapped back almost instantly, returning to Sonic... the one person here he actually gave a damn about.
