So this is my first story on here. Yay! I picked a well known couple for my first fanfic, but my next one will be of my favorite pairing! I don't own any Sonic characters, Sega does: of course we know that ^ ^. Please enjoy and I apologized if my grammar is awful! ^ ^;
The morning was a depressing one. The fog dragged to the ground, and the sun hadn't seen the need of rising, sending a deadly chill through the air. The trees had shedded their last tears, standing bare with no emotion, no beauty. And the flowers, that were once in full bloom, had died.
If it was up to Shadow, he wouldn't have awakened. When his alarm clock ringed annoyingly in his sensitive ears, he would have slapped his ungloved hand down over it, turned over, and went back to sleep without a second thought.
But he didn't. Today was different. Instead, he quieted the ringing, and crawled out of his warm bed into the room's chilled air.
Looking for warmth, he curled his toe in the softness of the carpet. His sleepy legs carried his body over to a calendar hanging on a nearby pitch black wall. There were a numerous of red X's planted on the previous dates, but one date stood out.
Drawn in bright pink sat a huge heart upon today's date, Monday, September 24. Shadow smiled, remembering how the date was drilled into his head by his girlfriend, even though he assured her he knew it quite well; and as if she didn't trust him she marked it on his calendar.
He placed a tender hand over the heart, "Happy Birthday, Rose."
