Before I begin, I'd just like to ask one question (as seen in the description): Is this the equivalent to breaking the rules if I put a karaoke Fanfiction that contains only songs written by me?
Shadow scowled. He didn't want to be here but with the combined forces of everyone at the currently secluded building, they were able to force him there.
He glanced at Knuckles, whom had a similar situation with everyone. Shadow knew all too well that the last echidna wanted nothing more than to be on Angel Island, protecting the Master Emerald, instead of being here for this karaoke party.
Shadow's gaze shifted to find Silver. He probably was the one who, out the three of them, didn't want to be here the most.
Shadow noticed he was reluctant in coming here (which surprised even him!) but after hearing who the latest couple was, Shadow couldn't really blame him. And that couple was Sonic and Blaze.
It was obvious that Silver still loved Blaze, but from what the ebony hedgehog could tell, Blaze didn't feel the same way. Needless to say when Silver found out that Blaze liked Sonic it devastated him, and it didn't really help matters when Silver learned that she didn't remember him at all.
Silver was just accepting that fact until it happened.
When Sonic and Blaze started dating Silver refused to speak to Sonic from that moment to this very day. And to add insult to injury Shadow remembered clearly that Silver told everyone that he felt that way towards Blaze, so the fact that Sonic started dating her genuinely ticked the Ultimate Life Form off. And Silver wasn't the only one suffering.
Shadow's gaze found Amy.
The girl was in denial of them dating, at least at first, but at one point she accepted it. That didn't change the fact that she still loved Sonic.
Just how selfish can Sonic be? Doesn't he see what he has?' Shadow thought as he grabbed a glass he had in front of him. 'He has everything that most could ever want, someone who genuinely loves you, a world where there is actual happiness… a place where he can belong without being feared…' Shadow's ears drooped down sadly.
Shadow envied Sonic because of several things. To start, Sonic didn't have to look over his shoulder whenever he walked down the street to make sure no one was aiming to hurt him.
Sonic wasn't hated for things that had happened in the past, even if sometimes they were blatantly his fault (the Dark Gaia incident proved that), whereas Shadow was feared and hated both for things that he had done and things out of his control.
Sonic didn't have to worry about whether or not to trust anyone or not, he wasn't powerful, he wasn't awake to the fact that sooner or later your actions always come back to bite you in the didn't have to worry about getting too close to anyone before they age and…!
Shadow's scowl returned. 'Maria…'
Sonic wasn't immortal.
As they started to let the party commence, Tails asked who would want to start first.
To Shadow's surprise, Amy raised her hand silently.
She walked up silently, scrolling through the songs listed.
It was obvious that she was still suffering from the worst of her true love dating someone else.
Shadow wondered why she even bothered, as she only had a slightly hollow sound in her voice, a similar look in her eyes.
Finally, she chose a song, and a countdown began, with the time ticking down from ten.
She walked to the microphone, her head slightly lowered.
It would be hard not to think she was becoming emo…
And at that moment, she began singing… to a surprisingly upbeat melody…
I'll stay forever; by your side
No matter what the pain inside…
I'll be here
Shadow could tell from those lyrics, and the slight pain in her small voice, that this was about Sonic.
And at that moment, he really didn't want to hear it…
Why…
Why can't I act on this simple wish…
The want… to let you go…
You…
You always were there to save me…
No matter what the sacrifice…
And as I gaze upon the world filled with bitterness
Clarity leaves me showing a world without its darkness
And I feel this sensation build within me
Another thing,
Controlling me,
Something that I can't understand!
I only want to take your hand and squeeze it till the end of time
I don't care if we crash land into a world of plight
I only see myself with you and I hope you feel the same for me
So I'll stay forever; by your side
No matter what the pain inside…
I'll be here…
So say…
That you love me more than words can ever say…
And show me…
Into the light…
Embrace me in your arms of warmth,
Just show me what it means to be…
The maiden of love who stays right here
Even through the agony
The steel starless night I see
Is broken when you're near me…
So stay right here
Just take my hand,
And I'll show you into my dreams!
I only want to take your hand and hold it till the end of time
I don't care if we fly away into a world filled with eternal lies
I only see myself with you and I hope you feel the same for me too...
I'll be here…
There was a thick silence as everyone stared at Amy, seeing her body quiver. As they looked on, they heard something faint.
A whimper.
That's when they realized that she was crying.
Some people made a move to come to her, but Silver beat everyone to it, as he was closest. He walked up the steps, and as he walked in front of the sakura pink hedgehog wrapped an arm around her, guiding her back to her seat.
Well… this would probably be more interesting than Shadow once thought…
Once again, I bring up the question… does it mean I'm breaking the rules if I put a Fanfiction like this here but all the song lyrics belong to me?
