Shadow, A Hedgehog
Chapter 1: A Rose's Shadow
Westopolis Bar_
Shadow is taking a drink before heading back to the castle as usual. Sonic walks in, stops a bar fight, tells people not to curse, and embarrasses the crap out of Shadow when he says,
"Hey, Shadow, you agree with me right?"
"Fuck no!" Shadow replies and pulls a gun.
"You're in an ugly mood, eh?" Sonic pulls up a chair and sits next to Shadow.
"You gunna get a drink too, or are you going to leave me the hell alone?!"
"You know I don't drink, now what's up, you've been real, er, awkward since you got back from your last G.U.N. mission."
"Would you stop being a pussy and call it GUN, you know, like the thing I have pointed at your head?"
"Shadow, stop and tell me what's wrong?" Shadow sighed very deeply, and if you knew Shadow, that's something.
"Ever since I got back from my last mission, I can't stop thinking about how I almost died, and about what Mephiles said a while ago."
"You mean how everyone will turn against you, and program Omega to kill you and how succeeds?"
"How did y-"
"Rouge was there when Omega told you, and after you ditched them, they caught up on events."
"Yeah, well I- I'm- its- ugh! I keep thinking that on the next mission that I'll die an-"
"You've already died a bunch of times! When you were sent to Earth, you were in a cryogenic lab, technically dead, and revived by Eggman, then you died after we agreed to help another stop the Biolizard, then there was… Um… Well, after we beat Metal Sonic Overlord thingy, and after you beat Black Doom, you were offered the thing for G.U.N. happy, I said gun? Then before you answered, there was the parallel paradox, and we sorta had to do everything again-"
"You mean when we went to Earth, because I remember that kid that I beat the crap outta, man was it fun!"
"Yes, and after that Cosmo died, and you went, wait WHERE DID YOU GO?!"
"I won't tell."
"Fine, but after that you came back and signed up for . and then there was the whole Solaris stuff, then we went back to our lives, and you went on missions, and after this one, you've changed, you almost never leave your room, you barely eat, and you're so much more aggressive and I don't know what's going on!"
"I keep thinking that I'll die, won't come back, and have never loved anyone except, well you know…"
"Maria. But I'm still confused as to what's going on?"
"I'm in love with Amy and have been for a while!" Shadow screamed and everyone in the bar laughed.
"You wanna fight, bitches?!" At that everyone shut up and everyone including the bartender, left hurrying, because,
"Shadow don-" but it was too late; Shadow had started shooting, but not hitting anyone.
"Ooohhh. I have to say, I didn't see that coming, Shadow. Can I ask how long-"
"Since when Amy convinced me to help, I started thinking about her, but since I almost died, I've been sure. C-can I ask you a favor, Sonic?"
"The great Shadow The Hedgehog, asking the puny Sonic The Hedgehog for help? Wow, this must be big!"
"Can you get everyone except Amy out of the castle, and set up these," Shadow gets some candle lights out of a bag that said 'Target' on it, "on the main dining hall, light them, and ask if Niles {sorry, I liked Niles from The Nanny} to set up Amy's favorite dinner?"
"Sure, should I tell them you're having a date with Amy?" Sonic asks, taking the stuff.
"I don't care, oh, and can you tell Amy to take a shower and leave this dress for her," Shadow handed Sonic a red and black dress, "and tell her which dining hall to go to?"
"A noodle strapped red and black dress, that so happens to fit Amy all the way to the ankles? Where'd you get that, and what are you gunna do, where a black and white tux?"
"Actually, it's red and black, you know, like her dress and the rest of the castle."
"I should never have let you trick me into doing the paint job for the castle. O.K., are you going to race with me back to the castle, or are you going to come later?"
"I'll sneak in through my room at the top, and wait for everyone to leave. If we aren't there when you guys come back, don't look for us."
"Why?"
"We'll be out; I have a full night planned, do you think Amy would like a punk rock concert?"
"Heck no-"
"Again, don't be a little bitch, grow some ba-"
"Fine! Hell no! Amy likes soft and romantic, not something like, oh I don't know any hard rock bands!"
"Ok, I'll sell the Linkin Park tickets, just don't worry if we're out, we'll be on our date."
"See ya later!" Sonic walks out.
"Oh and sonic!"
"Mmm?"
"Thank you."
"Dang, you must really like her to say thanks to me!"
"I love her."
