Shadow the Hedgehog stands alone on the hill looking at the town, he looks at the town when the blue blur rushed between when and the city. He suddenly felt anger, "That fake," He thought. He turned around to leave when suddenly he was knocked down by a big gush of wind. "What the hell was that?" He thought. As he glided across the field and came in the spot where a huge crater was there. "What the...?" Shadow began as he scanned the area. He spoted something in the rubble, as he rushed down to take a closer look he saw the it was something metallic. When he got there, he looked at the metallic item and pulled it up. As he pulled it up he could make it out as something like a locket, but something grabbed it. As he pulled harder the hand came out followed the body. He dropped the necklace and looks at the person. It wasn't a human but more like an animal like him. As it opened it's tired eyes, he took a step back to make sure it wasn't hostile.

"Where am I?" It's said, the female voice drifted to his ears. He finally knew it was a girl. "Who are you?" She said trying to stand up.

"I am Shadow the Hedgehog. Now that that's out, you are?" He said trying to get some answers.

"I am..." she paused. She looked like she was trying to remember. "Rosey."

"Rosey huh. And what are you exactly?" She took a look at herself, she turn to see 6 fluffy purple and white (at the tip) tails. She looked down at her feet to see black boot that when her ankles. She wore a purple skirt with black leggings underneath while the tight purple shirt hugged her body. On her head was a black bandana wich held back her purpleish-blueish hair. Her ears (Kinda like Tails's ear but smaller by alittle) were purple but white at the tips. She looked back at Shadow with the blue tired eyes she had.

"I guess I'm some sort of cat." she wondered.

"Your one weird cat then. So tell me, how did you get here or why were in this crater?" He asked.

"I don't know, all I remember was ..." She stopped trying to remember. A flashback appeared in her memories. She was lying on the ground struggling to get up as a fire comsumed her house. Blood-curlding screams filled the air. She finally stood up and ran from the villiage she was in that has now gone up in smokes. She ran up this temple thing, trying to get to the top. When she did get to the top, intruders were trying to take this big green rock. As they stole the other colorful rocks, she tried to stop them. They punched the light outta her as she screamed something she couldn't remember. "Their was a villiage fire, I was running to find something I think and ended up here." She deducted. "That's all I can remem.." she began to faint to the ground. Shadow just stood there as she fell, he stood up to her and bent down. "You have the same problem I once had, my memories gone with the wind." He said knowing that she couldn't hear him. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He pulled her up into his arms and carried her to another place.

When she woke up, she was on the ground lying agsinst a tree. Shadow was standing on the branches on the tree staring at the peaceful moon with shone it's gental light upon those who were still awake. "Maria..." He whispered. Rosey looked up at him and pulled herself up using the tree for help. Shadow heard her waking up but did nothing to help. As Rosey finally stood up, she brushed the dust off her clothes and found something on her back. For some reason, she missed the purple white wings on her back (The were small). They were shaped like demon wings. She leaned against the tree again feeling the energy leaving her slowly. She took a deep breath and began to use her wings for flight. Shadow turned his head to see her struggling to flly up here, but again he did nothing to help. "Patheic girl, too weak to even fly up a tree." he thought. As she finally flew to the branch Shadow was standing on and sat on it. Shadow still wasn't amzed that she could get up here. "Hello there Shadow. Peaceful night isn't it?" She asked smiling.

"Not anymore now that you ruined it." He said coldly.

"Yeah, yeah. If you didn't want me here, you wouldn't have saved me." She said with a smug look on her face. Even though she was tired, she could still have fun.

"Whatever."

"Yeah, anyway why did you save me anyway?"

"I have my reasons."

"Reasons that might included a girl named Maria?"

"Shut up."

"And you thought I was ruining the slience."

"And you still talking."

"I'm a talkive person." She laughed as Shadow still looked on. Rosey looked at the sky as well then at her locket. It had 7 slots in it, like it was made to fit something in it. Six surround holes when there was a big one in the middle. Shadow also looked at her locket.

"What that for?" He asked.

"I don't know. Looks like it suppose to hold something valueable like diamonds, rubys.."

"Or emeralds?"

"Yeah, hey...How did you know?" She asked. Shadow took out his Chaos Emerald and showed it to her, "Cool! A red emerald!" She said. Suddenly it glowed really bright, it started to turn and float out of Shadow's hand.

"Hey, What's going on?" He said shielding his eyes from the light.

"Wrong person to ask." She replied also shielding her eyes. Rosey's locket began to float at little as the emerald began to float towards it. There was a connection between the Chaos emerald and Rosey's locket. When the light died out, Rosey took the locket in her hands. The red chaos emerald was embedded into one of the slots in the locket, it was reduced to a small size like it shrunk. "What just happened?" Rosey asked.

"Like I would know." Shadow said. His chaos emerald was gone and he was ...emeraldless. "Give me my emerald back."

"Like I would know how to get it out, I still trying to find out how this just happened!" Rosey said, her tiredness was returning and she could feel it. Shadow gave her a grim look on his face. "Okay! Okay! I'll try and find out, maybe there is something in my memories." She said leaning back and falling off the branch. She landed on both her legs and leaned against the tree and began to think. "Hmmmm..." she thought. She remembered something, something alittle brief but might be useful. "I think I got it." She said. Shadow jumped down and looked at her waiting to get him prized gem back. She closed her eyes and held her hand around the locket but isn't touching it. She began to concentrate on the locket and the emerald. The light began to shine again, Shadow shielding his eyes as Rosey continued conentrating. Finally, the light died down again and she held the gem in her hands. "Done, now are you happy?" She asked as Shadow snatched it out of her hands without so much as a Thank you. As he jumped bac to where he was standing, Rosey gave him a angry look thensoften it as she turned away from him. "Why thank you for getting my emerald back, Rosey. Oh no problem Shadow, glad to do it." She said to herself. She had to giggle at herself for thinking that he would actually say that.

"Don't you get embearess when laughing at yourself." Shadow asked sitting down on the branch. Rosey flew back up using the remaining energy and get up there.

"Not at all, I like laughing at myself. It makes me feel good about me even if other thinks it weird." She said smiling. "I mean just looking at you I can already tell your personailty."

"What is it then?"

"Your are mister loner, you have a mysterious past that no one know and you always think that some people are patheic." Rosey smiled. Shadow turned his head and didn't say anything. "I guess I hit that nail on the head." Rosey laughed. She yawned the tiring yawn as the wind began to sing it's lullaby. She flipped down and landed on the second branched, she leaned against that one and began to drift away. Shadow looked down at her and her calm expression. He found himself think that she was gonna be a problem if she hangs around with him, but he knew he can do anything right now. "What best to do now is best left to do in the morning" he thought. He layed against the trunk of the tree and began to fall into night's sweet slumber.
