Shadow the hedgehog had fallen into the ocean. His friend Rouge had accidentally knock him off the cliff. He fell hundreds of feet, hitting his head on the way into the rough surf. Something sensed him falling into the water.

"You will be entertainment to me," A dark voice muttered as a silhouette swam out of a cave in the cliff-side and Shadow started glowing with a black aura and started shifting forms.

Later...

Shadow opened his crimson eyes after what could have been hours or days.

"He's waking up!" A voice in the room said excitedly.

"Who are you?" Shadow demanded as he sat up, his eyes focusing on a blue merhog. "Sonic?"

"How do you know my name?" The blue male asked.

"You remind me of someone I know," Shadow said. "My name is Shadow. Mind telling me where I am?"

"You are in Emeralds' Sea," Sonic said.

"What?!" Shadow shouted.

"It is true," Sonic said, swimming over to Shadow. "I found you on the seafloor. A black glow that had surrounded you was fading away."

"I had an aura around me?" Shadow asked as he tried to stand and fell backward onto the bed and he looked at where his legs used to be. "FUCK! What happened to me?"

"What do you mean?" Sonic asked as he carefully sat on the bed next to Shadow.

"What happened to my legs?" Shadow demanded.

"If I had to guess, it has something to do with that aura," Sonic said. "You sound like you disapprove of the way you look."

"It's just shocking, that all," Shadow said as his hand accidentally touched Sonic's, causing both males to blush and look away in embarrassment.

"I like him. I wonder if he feels the same way about me," Shadow thought to himself.

"I hope he likes me the way I like him. Should I tell him the way I feel about him?" Sonic thought to himself.

Both merhogs turn to look at each other.

"Sonic, I...kinda like you," Shadow confessed.

"I feel the same way about you, Shadow," Sonic stated.

"Really?" Shadow asked.

"Really really," Sonic said with a small smile ass he placed a hand on Shadow's face.

"I'm glad," Shadow said as he pulled Sonic toward him and kissed him on the lips.

"I'm happy that I've found you," Sonic whispered as he twisted his fingers into Shadow's quills.

"So am I," Shadow said as Sonic fell back on the bed, pulling him on top.

"I'm happy that the Sea's brought my true love to me," Sonic whispered.

"I'm happy to have been brought to you," Shadow whispered.
