Maria was sitting in her room in the ARK near the window looking at the earth down below her when there was a knock on her door "come in!"Maria shouted, it was shadow"hey Maria are you still up"? shadow whispered "Oh I couldn't sleep I was dreaming of what it would be like on earth if grandpa ever does find a cure for me" Shadow walked over and sat besides Maria "Maria I promise I will take just you and me to earth one day" shadow placed his hand over Maria's Maria blushed slightly "Maria there some think I want to tell you and I've been wanting to get it off my back because it's eating me alive inside what I want say is.. is.. is I LOVE YOU..." shadow sat there blushing with all his might Maria just sat there shocked she thought "he likes me as well! shadow likes me"! shadow was getting really nervous now " urrm...well...?"he said nervously Maria snapped out of thought and said " well I've got some think to tell you too shadow I LOVE YOU TOO!" Maria said as she lunged at shadow and hugged him with all her might , shadow caressed his arms around Maria and embraced the hug back, they stayed like this for long while then they let go shadow looked deeply into Maria eyes then he slowly leaned forward there lips where mere inches and kissed Maria slowly and passionately on the lips while he was doing this Maria was blushing with all her might and then closed her eyes and melted into the kiss with her stomach fluttering with butterflies Maria stroked shadow quills while doing this after a while they both pulled away "that was nice kiss" Maria said gasping for air shadow agreed shadow lusted for Maria so much at this moment and started kissing her again and then he picked her up and they both laid down on Maria's bed making out, after a while they sat cuddling "Maria promised me some think promise me you'll never leave my side" "shadow I would never want to leave your side I love you" Maria kissed him Deeply "I love you too Maria" as he kissed her again "do you think Gerald will be mad"?
