      Once two hedgehogs met in the same house. Blue and black-red. They both looked menacingly into each other's eyes and got angry. Baring their teeth, they decided to attack each other. Both of them raised their fists at the same time and it seemed as if they were about to hit each other at the same time. However, they suddenly grab the PlayStation 1 joysticks from the table. Sonic took the white joystick, and Shadow took the black one. — As agreed. If I win, then you won't pester me anymore, and then you'll go to Station Square, to the passport office building and change your name to faker, so that from now on everyone will call you faker hedgehog. — the black-scarlet one said sternly. — We agreed, and if I win against you, then you will go change your name at the passport office to Stupid form of a talkative braggart and you will follow me all day, respect me, praise me in everything, call me only by my name and not forget at the same time just smile. — This will not happen, because I will definitely win against you. — self-confident, ULF boasted and sat down on the red sofa. Sonic sat down next to him, smiling maliciously and answering: — Let's see! The game was launched a long time ago and was waiting for players to start playing it. The game itself was a fighting game with Sonic characters. Sonic pressed start, as he had the joystick from the first player in his hands. He chose the two-player mode and he and Shadow began choosing their fighters. Without hesitation, Sonic chose himself, and Shadow chose himself. After the choice, a random selection of location began and by coincidence they got a location with green hills. — Round one. Fight! — said a voice from the game. Sonic ran towards Shadow, thinking to attack him at close range, but Shadow stood still and kicked him off his feet. — Bastard! — Sonic cursed. — Don't express yourself! — Shadow answered through clenched teeth. Shadow runs towards Sonic and hits him either with his feet or with his hands, while Sonic stands still, blocking and standing on defense. From the blows he received on the block, the hedgehog began to receive only tiny drops of health loss. — You coward, you’re afraid to lose to me, so you hold the block. — Shadow provoked Sonic and he still hit him from the bottom up, raising his fist and throwing him into the sky. At that moment, Eggman appeared in the lower right corner of the screen for a second and sang: — Hedgeho-o-ogs! Shadow gets up and runs at Sonic, who jumps over him and attacks him from behind, punching him in the face. And on the sixth blow, the blue one threw the black and scarlet one to the right corner of the screen, where the battlefield ended. Shadow gets up and runs at Sonic, who runs away from him. — Are you running, coward? Right! Run away from the perfect life form! — You’re already tired of bragging to everyone that you’re a perfect form. I'll put these words in you know where? — Sonic asked. — I wonder where? — Shadow asked, turning his gaze to Sonic with a grin, deciding to mock him, and Sonic took advantage of this. While Shadow was standing in the game itself, Sonic ran up to him, kicked him several times and threw him away from him. Before he could get up, Sonic ran up to him, grabbed him and threw him over himself. Shadow lost his entire health bar and began to lie on the ground. Sonic jumped in place and somersaulted in celebration of his victory and a golden cup formed under his health bar to signify that he had won the first round. — O YEAH!!! I WIN!!! — the hedgehog shouted in real life. — Well, Sonic is a rogue. Now I'll rip your balls off. — Shadow answered figuratively. — Round two. Fight! — said a voice from the game. Sonic and Shadow stood still. — Come on, attack! — Sonic called. — No. — Shadow answered. — Are you chickening out? — Sonic asked. — That won’t work with me. Attack first if you are not afraid! — Shadow corrected. Sonic got angry and was the first to attack. Shadow jumped over him and hoped to hit him from behind, but Sonic only ran past him without stopping. When Shadow ran towards him, Sonic grabbed him and threw him over him to the left corner of the screen, where the battlefield ended. — How do you like it? Like? — Sonic asked and was in vain early to rejoice, because Shadow ran up to him and grabbed his stomach with his palm, and then twisted it painfully, and Sonic in the game pretended to be in pain, although he himself did not scream. This took some of Sonic's health away, and then UFL knocked the optimist off his feet. — Not fair! — Oh, isn’t it fair? Does distracting me and beating me while I’m not playing mean it’s fair? — UFL asked mockingly. — You’ll still lose to me. — We'll see. — Sonic was still confident of his victory. But this time it’s not a big deal. Shadow defeated Sonic this time, and then, as a victory in this round, he raised the green Chaos Emerald to the top and disappeared from sight with a flash. — This time you beat me, Shad, but I will still win against you, because the last round is ahead. — the blue hedgehog boasted. — Round three. Fight! At first, Sonic was confident in himself, but Shadow easily outmaneuvered him. Shadow had only half his health left, and Sonic's health was almost zero. Blue was already starting to panic and sweat from fear. Now he will lose and he will have to fulfill Shadow's wishes, and he does not want to do this. — No no no. I do not have! I'll win. — Sonic panicked through his teeth. — Dream, faker! — Shadow grinned. At that moment, Amy Rose entered the room, humming something under her breath: ♪ Lilies of the valley! Lilies of the valley! ♪ Sonic and Shadow did not pay any attention to her, because they were carried away by the game. Amy came and brought her pink hairdryer. She unplugs the electrical plug from the socket and sticks the hair dryer plug into it to begin drying the needles on her head in front of the mirror. But the plug she pulled out of the socket was from a game console. By that time, Shadow had almost finished off Sonic and it seemed that he was about to lose. But suddenly the game disappears and the screen goes blank. Sonic and Shadow froze and rolled their eyes at the same time. — NO-O-O!!! - UFL shouted, raising his head and hands up. — AMY-Y-Y!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??? — Sonic shouted at the hedgehog. She turned off the hair dryer and turned her gaze questioningly to the hedgehogs as if she didn’t know or understand anything. — What? — she asked them. — Oh, forget it! — Sonic waved his hand. — IT'S NOT FAIR!!! IF IT WERE NOT FOR HER, YOU WOULD FINALLY LOSE!!! — the black and scarlet hedgehog shouted at the blue one at the top of his lungs. — What are you speaking about? — Rose didn’t understand. Shadow calms down and, sighing, answers her: — Nope! Nothing! — And which of us won then? — Sonic asked. — Now you’ll probably answer that you are, because you are the most ultimate being. — he mimicked him. Shadow rolled his eyes, but then thought it over and shook Sonic's hand, saying: — I’d rather agree to a draw. — Fine. — the blue one agreed with him, raising his lower eyelids under his eyes for tenderness.

      Late at night, Sonic gave Amy a chocolate bar and said: — Thank you, Amy. As agreed. It’s great that you came up with this with a hairdryer and pulling out the socket. — Yeah. If you suddenly compete again and start losing to him, which you obviously don’t want, contact him!
