Chapter One: The Ultimate Surprise

A small beam of light came through Amy's window as it hit her eyes making her cover them. It was morning. Amy yawned and stretched as she sat up in the wondered what she'd do today. Well first she was going to get something to turned and put her feet on the floor, which the coldness made her jump.

Amy could hear the music of Cream's dance video as she slowly walked out of her room.

"Good morning Cream." said Amy as she walked into the living room."

"Good morning Amy," said Cream in her high pitched voice. "Chao Chao." said Cheeze.

"Good morning to you too." said Amy as she chuckled.

The pink hedgehog slowly walked into the kitchen and looked around.

Empty like reached up into the cabinet and grabbed a box of fruit loops and a bowl.

"I wonder where Sonic is." She thought to herself as she grabbed the milk and poured everything together, "He's probably at the diner."

The pink hedgehog slowly ate her bowl of cereal. "He's always on the go." She told herself, "I just wished he'd love me like he loves adventure."She slowly sighed as she put the empty bowl in the sink."Well I'm going to see if he's there today. Maybe I'll have luck in making him mine."

Amy slowly walked up stairs into her bedroom and pulled off the white lace night gown and slipped on her red and white dress and her grabbed her Piko-Piko hammer just in now off to the diner.

The diner was about three blocks away from the house. She quickly ran toward it.

Turning the corner she peeked into the window, she was right Sonic was there.

The pink hedgehog walked through the door making the bells on it walked to the left of the diner and in a booth sat Sonic "Her Hero" about to chow down on a plate of fresh chili dogs.

"Yum," said Sonic biting into one.

"Hi-ya Sonic." Called Amy Rose. Sonic jumped and placed his dog on the plate.

"Hi Amy." Said Sonic sighing and propping his elbow on the table.

"What's wrong Sonic?" asked Amy with her head cocked to the side.

"Look, Amy." Said Sonic, "I'm going to put this as simple and as easy as possible.*pause* GO AWAY!!!"

"But…"

"Hey no buts about it you're aggravating and I'm tired of you following me everywhere," said Sonic, "You need to go hang with someone else apart from me."

Amy's face got red. It's always anger before tears.

"WELL FINE!" screamed Amy, "You've got a lot of guts to say that and I just hope that when you get ready to sleep tonight you can't because I'm keeping you up in your mind. I hope you try to breathe, and you can't because you think of me, and so for your info, maybe you're more of a jerk than I thought."

Sonic's eyes got big. "Whoa" was the only word that came out of his mouth right before Amy grabbed one of his prized chili dogs and chunked it at the diner window watching it splat.

"Amy what did you do that for?" asked Sonic narrow eyed.

"Oh I'm sorry," said the pink hedgehog sarcastically. She then grabbed another and simply smashed it in his face and walked away.

Right before she walked out of the diner she walked to a waitress.

"Mam." Amy said, "I think he needs a napkin."

When waitress looked over at sonic who was now covered in chili she laughed as she pulled out a digital camera from her apron and walked over just stood and watched,"Snap, Snap, Snap" "Hey!" screamed Sonic covering his face. Amy then walked out of the diner laughing.

Then grief hit her.A single tear turned to a million tears. How could this have happened to her?

I mean couldn't he just turn around and see it from her point of it doesn't matter all that jerk loves is chili dogs.

"Yeah, I'd love to see a chili dog return love back, provide for him, and give him a family…"

Amy then wondered where she could park seemed too cheery and had too many memories of her and sonic She could go to the chao garden, Nah! To many memories of her and sonic there kept walking down the side walk.

No I got to go some place that's just dark and not cheery.

There would be no memories alley ways would be perfect.

So Amy turned and started walking between two apartment complexes. She looked around. "Well It's dark," thought Amy to herself as she walked behind the building further.

All of a sudden she heard a scratching noise, which made her jump. "Okay maybe too dark."

Earlier she had forgotten the fact that the dark alley ways where the worse places to be. If you valued your life, that is. She grabbed her Piko-Piko hammer and held it in a defensive position. Stared into the shadows of the alley way harder. Then she saw it.A pair of glowing crimson red eyes.

"Who are you?" asked Amy as the eyes kept coming closer.

"It's me Amy." Said a deep dark voice.

"And who may I ask is Me?"

The figure then stepped out. "Shadow?"

"Hi-ya Ames." Said Shadow as he started walking over toward Amy, but stopped as he held his nose.

"What's wrong?" asked Amy who was surprised by this gesture.

"Nothing." The pink hedgehog put down her hammer and sighed.

She looked back at the hedgehog. Wait. Something was different about him.

I mean she had just seen him two weeks ago and he didn't look anything like this.

His quills where longer and blacker, instead of supporting his traditional shoes and gloves, they where spiked, and his ears were also pointer. "Umm… Nice new look." Said Amy.

Shadow looked at himself.

"Um yeah..." he scratched behind his ear, "So like what are you doing out here all alone by yourself. Isn't that faker usually with you or you usually with him?"

"No." replied Amy, "That so called faker is a jerk. He told me he wants me to leave him alone and says I'm just annoying."

"Really?" asked Shadow, "So like what did you do?"

"Well I pulled one of your moves I guess." Said Amy

"What do you mean my moves?"

"What I mean," Amy said, "I got angry and yelled at him and I took the only thing he loved and smashed it in his face."

"No let me guess…" said Shadow looking at Amy, "Chili dogs?"

"Yup." Said Amy, "Then I walked out of the diner and started crying." Amy started shedding tears again.

"It's okay Ames." Said Shadow putting his hands on her shoulders, "We all have problems…"

"And I'm glad I have a friend who understands these problems." Said Amy hugging Shadow.

"Look Ames, speaking of problems I need to talk to you about something."

"About What?" asked Amy looking up at Shadow. And as If on cue it started raining.

"Oh drat." Said Amy, "There's no way I can make it home now."

"It's okay." Said Shadow, "You can come to my apartment. It's just right around the corner."Immediately the two took off, Amy was right behind Shadow.

The dark hedgehog led Amy to a set of metal stairs. "Up there." Said Shadow as he pointed.

Amy clamed up the steps and shadow took out a key and opened the inside Amy realized the apartment was dull and bare. There was a bathroom, a sink, a chair, a twin sized bed,and a small window.

Shadow walked in shaking the water off of him making the droplets fly. Amy giggled as she did the same."Well." Said Shadow, "It's not much, but its home."

Shadow then walked over to the twin sized bed and sat down and patted the sheet wanting Amy to come over. The pink hedgehog sat down slowly while looking at this new Shadow, this darker Shadow.

"Look Amy." Shadow said, "I have a really dark secret and I think you are the only one I can trust at the time…"

Amy started fanning herself."Look Shadow not to be mean I'm burning up. I'm going to open the window."Amy quickly stood up and walked over to the window and opened the latch.

"NO!" screamed Shadow as he went to jump up. Too late.

Amy stood there and let the cold breeze flow through her quills.

"Ah much better." Said Amy, "So what where you telling me."

She looked over at Shadow who looked like he was in immense pain and had his face in his hands.

"Shadow are you ok?" asked Amy walking closer.

Shadow then looked his eyes where hollow as he stared at Amy.

"I hated for this to…. Happen." Said Shadow, "But I just can't control it any longer."

"Shadow what are you talking about?" Then a sinister grin came a crossed his face.

He immediately jumped up with inhuman speed and pinned Amy against the apartment wall.

"Shadow, What the heck are you doing?"

"Amy I'm a vampire." Said Shadow as two sharp teeth protruded from the side of his mouth.

Amy's eyes narrowed in fear.
