Knowin' the course isn't the same! You were the one that took off the first time, pal!

[Sonic was somewhat behind Shadow as they raced, and had to avoid the sand being kicked up and flying about. He had to move off a bit to the side and not be directly behind his rival.

This wasn't the first time he noticed Shadow looking out toward the water. The blue hedgehog kept running, but also took a moment or two to look out at the ocean and then at Shadow.]

You've never seen them up close, have you? We can stop and to sightsee if that's what you want!
