Ola! To tell you guys the truth, I have no clue where I'm going with this fic, or how I even thought of it. I was in a little chat with my friend, Flare, and she said she liked Sonamy better then Shadamy, just because she barely knew Shadow, and barely played the games. So that just wanted me to write a fic for some reason. This may be a one shot, a series of drabble fics, or a multi-chap fic, I'm not sure… so, help me decide!! Also, this is told from Amy's point of view.
Who is Shadow the Hedgehog?
Who is Shadow the hedgehog? This question whirled through my mind. Taking out any thoughts of Sonic, which I didn't even think was possible. I shook my head, my pink hair bouncing, tickling a little. I didn't even know why I was thinking about Shadow, he just came into my mind…
I sighed, well… actually, this has been happening for a while now. I gave another sigh, and looked out my bedroom window. It was early in the morning, and I could see the sun rising over the horizon, spraying a ray of splendid color across the sky, and the ocean. I sighed, for the third time. Not even this beautiful sight could take my mind off of Shadow.
The damn question has been bothering me since Shadow had defeated Black Doom, and destroyed the black comet.
Who Is Shadow the hedgehog?
I groaned, as I fell backwards onto my bed, hair bouncing. I closed my eyes, and Shadow instantly appeared. Arms crossed right beneath his chest-fur, it rising and falling with the steady rhythm of his breath. His ruby red eyes his were dancing with amusement, his lip curled into a amused, yet taunting smirk. It was as if his image was mocking me, taunting me because I couldn't figure out a simple question about this Hedgehog.
I groaned again, and turned around so I was lying on my stomach. Who was I kidding, this was not a simple question, nothing about Shadow was simple. He was born a lab experiment, to achieve immortality, he became friends with a girl who he was made to save, but was unable to do that, as she got killed by G.U.N.
I suddenly felt a surge of rage at the name of that pathetic excuse of a military force. Shadow or Maria, if I remembered correctly from Tails brief lesson about what happened on the A.R.C 50 years ago, since I didn't have enough courage to ask Shadow herself, had done nothing wrong.
I calmed myself down, as I tried to remember what Tails had said. Apparently, they wanted to use Shadow as a weapon, and they succeeded. I shivered as I thought about when I first met Shadow, after I accidentally hugged him, mistaking him as Sonic. I felt heat rising to my cheeks when I thought about the hug, but ignored the forming blush as I remembered Shadow from that day.
His body was tight, and ready, almost as if expecting and awaiting someone to attack him. And when he turned to look at me, his eyes were cold, and had only hatred in them. I shivered again.
That was really the first time I asked myself this question; who is Shadow the hedgehog, and I was positive I knew the answer. I was positive that Shadow was a evil, horrible being with no love for anything. Now, I know I was wrong, and I still feel guilt about how I thought of him. And, if the opportunity ever presented itself, I will tell this to Shadow, apologies, and beg for his forgiveness.
My heart ached with pain at the thought of having Shadow hate me for what I thought of him. I even had to hold back tears. He shook my head again slightly, as I turned my attention back to the mystery that was Shadow the Hedgehog.
My opinion of Shadow instantly changed on that day when we were all fighting to stop the A.R.K from hitting the earth. I tried to change his mind about not helping us, but I didn't believe he would. Imagine my surprise when I saw that single tear fall, and to hear him proclaim he would save the earth, to keep his promises to Maria and me…
His words still echo through my mind, 'I have to go now, to keep my promise to Maria… and you.'
My heart began to beat faster and I felt the heat returning to my face. I didn't know why I reacted this way to Shadow's words… but they had effected me somehow. 'And you…'
I shook my head, trying to return to the task at hand. The moment he said those words, the question came back; Who is Shadow the hedgehog?
That thought echoed through my very being, until I saw Sonic return from the battle with the messed up prototype of the ultimate life form. But that didn't surprise me, in fact, I was just about to leap at my hero, and hug him and praise him and everything… until I noticed the dark hedgehog named Shadow was missing. And that was the first time in my whole life, I felt like a part of me died.
At that moment, I was sure of my answer. Shadow the hedgehog was a kind, and caring person. Though misleaded, and cold, he would do anything for anyone, even give his life away.
Shadow the hedgehog was a hero.
Tears clouded my eyes as I thought of Shadow's 'death', and had to force them back. I took a deep, shuddering breath, and calmed myself down, as I flopped over back onto my back, and stared at the ceiling.
When I heard news of Shadow coming back to life during the alien invasion, I was overjoyed, wanting to see him, and, my face heated at this again, hold him.
That was intill I heard he was killing G.U.N and following the black aliens. At that, my heart broke, and my old thoughts ame back about him being a monster, not a hero of any kind.
But, again I asked Shadow for help, expecting him to deny my request, or even… kill me… I got a lump in my throat at the thought and found it hard to sallow. But, again I was surprised when Shadow did in fact help me. And my opinion of him changed again. And it kept changing, from that point, to when he killed Black Doom, destroyed the Black comet, to right now, a year and a half later.
I sighed and sat up, about as confused as I was when I first started trying to solve the mystery that was Shadow the Hedgehog. I looked out the window, expecting to still see the beautiful sunrise, which I did, but I also saw another figure, standing at the edge of the cliff my house sat by, facing the ocean.
I studied the figure closely, then eyes widened when I relized who it was, and my heart went a mile a minute. I quickly tied my robe up, put on my slippers, and ran down stairs, and out the back doors, then ran to the figure, and stopped about 5 feet away from him. "Shadow…" I breathed out, the wind blowing at my hair and robe, but I didn't care, I was completely focused on the hedgehog in front of me.
He looked back at me, and offered me one of his rare, small smiles, and I felt heat rise to my cheeks once more. I couldn't help but notice the way the wind made his fur look, or the ways his quills danced around his face.
He smiled at me again, then looked back towards the sunrise. After a while, I slowly made my way towards him. And stood at his side, watching the sun rise, not sure what to say.
"It's beautiful…" I said softly, breaking the silence. "It is…" He agreed softly, then looked at me. "What are you doing up so early Rose?" He asked, and I blushed at the name. He never called her Amy, only Rose.
"I… was thinking about something…" I answered truthfully, and looked into his gorges red eyes. Almost getting lost in them if he hadn't asked, "About what?"
My heart stopped at that, how could I tell him that I was thinking about him, about who he was… and how he ment to me… There was no way I would tell him that. But… As I looked into his ruby eyes, I found I couldn't lie to him. "About… You…" I said quietly, as he cocked an eyebrow, and I saw a amused flicker in his eyes.
"Really, now what could you have been thinking about me for?" He asked playfully, as he steeped closer, making my breathe get chaught in my throat. "I-I was Thinking ab-about Who You Are." I stammered quietly, unable to speak right under his gaze.
There was another flicker of amusement, and he leaned in closed to me, inches away from my face, and I felt tremendous heat come to my face when I felt his breath on mine. My own got caught in my throat, and my heart was pounding in my chest. And he whispered, barely moving his lips, "I'm me Amy Rose, and that is who I will always be." And with that said, he disappeared in the green light of chaos control.
I stayed, staring at his pervious place, his words echoing in my mind. 'I'm me Amy Rose, and that is who I will always be.'
I stayed, until a small smile made it's way to my face. "Well Shadow the Hedgehog," I whispered to the wind. "Lets see if I can find out who 'you' are." And with that, I turned around, and headed back to my house, determined to get ready for this new day, and to solve the mystery that was, Shadow the Hedgehog.

So… How was it, good? Bad? Should I continue it, or leave it as a one-shot? Please tell me! To tell the truth, I'm really pleased with this and I'm only a little disturbed on how well I got into Amy's character, seeing on how I'm a boy. Well… Review and tell me what you think!
