Shadow walks out into his living room to see Aurora sleeping on the black couch. 'I could've sworn she went to sleep on the blue couch last night.' Shadow shrugs and sits down at the end of the black couch, careful to not wake Aurora. Aurora yawns and sits up. "You're up early."
Aurora quickly looks at Shadow. She could tell where he was, but only because you could see his red stripes and his chest fur. "Yeah, I guess." Aurora stretches and leans back on the couch. "I like this couch a lot better than the blue one. Why do you have the blue one anyway? Isn't black and red your style?"
Shadow looks at her, "It is, but your father gave me that couch. For a birthday present." Shadow sighs, "At the time, I would've wanted something on the lines of a gun." Aurora looks at Shadow, "You don't know?" Shadow shakes his head, "No. I'm not going to kill anyone, plus I saved the world without guns, only me and allies. I've changed since then. Your father made sure of that," Shadow shudders, "or I'd have to marry Rouge." Aurora laughs, "Wow, really?"
Shadow nods, "Yeah. I don't like Rouge, so I took the change without hesitation." Aurora looks at him, "You don't?" Shadow shakes his head, "No! I don't want to be stuck with Rouge in that way for as long as she lives!" Aurora tilts her head a little, "What do you mean, as long as she lives?" "Well I'm immortal. You should've known that by now."
Aurora blushes, "Oh yeah, I forgot you were immortal." Shadow looks at her, "Your father likes to pick on me about it, but hey, at least I'll be there to save the world after he's gone. Maybe with allies." Aurora yelps, "Ouch!" Aurora grabs her back quills(wings) and whimpers, "Shadow, they hurt so much!"
"Chaos Control!" Time slows down as Shadow wraps Aurora's wings up. He holds her as Chaos Controls effects go away. Aurora yelps, "Shadow! How-" Shadow silences her, "Don't speak or move. This happens to female hedgehogs. Your wings get bigger, that's why I wrapped them to the normal wing size."
Shadow holds the wrapping in place as he feels her wings slowly enlarge. Aurora whimpers, but doesn't move. Surprise! Amy and Sonic stand at the window. Sonic sees them and was about to walk in when Amy points to Aurora's wings. "Look! Her wings are growing in hon. And she's not moving." Amy smiles! Sonic almost growls. "Don't. Let's get out of here."
Aurora whimpers again when her wings reach the wrapping. Shadow hold the wrapping so it doesn't expand against the force of her growing wings. Suddenly the pain subdues and Aurora relaxes. Aurora falls asleep on Shadow. When he was about to move her onto his couch, he thought against it because it could hurt her.
The next morning, Aurora's wings were still wrapped. They had gotten up and Shadow unwrapped her wings. "They don't look right. These aren't the real ones." Shadow touches one of her wings, "Do you feel this?" Aurora shakes her head, "No, why can't I?"
Shadow sighs, "Very few have to go through this, but these cover your actual wings. We have to get them off." Shadow puts his hand on her shoulder so that his arm was in front of her mouth. " I know you'll need something to bite on. I had to do the same thing, except only the fake wing part."
"No! I refuse to bite you!" "I never said you had to, I just said it's there if needed." Shadow grabs a small fold of skin that attached to the fake wing. "Brace yourself, this will hurt." Shadow pulled hard and fast and that corner unlatched. Aurora screamed out in pain. "Sweet Chaos, Shadow!"
Shadow repeated until the fake wing wasn't attached anymore. Aurora pants, "Shadow, I can't take much more of this." "I know, but if we wait until tomorrow, you will be stuck with the fake wing and the pain until you die." Shadow pulls on the second fake wing, and that's when Aurora couldn't stand it any longer.
She sank her fangs into Shadow's arm, but with Shadow's high immune system and fast healing, he healed around the fangs over and over again. When he was about to pull the last section off, he felt warmth trickle down his arm. Shadow gasps. He pulls the last section off and a loud crack is heard. Shadow yells. Aurora faints. As Shadow Moses consciousness, he says "Chaos Regeneration…."
