Words from the author :)

I'm really sorry about the wait, I've been having problems with my computer monitor therefore haven't been able to write. And once we finally got a new monitor, I got sick, and just felt like I wanted to crawl into a cave and die.. the only thing that kept me from doing so, was the fact that I had no energy!

Kidding of course :P It also maybe a while in between chapter updates I'm a little bit slow when it comes to this kind of thing :s it may be one or two weeks between updates, it may be a month im not sure but I'm just giving you the heads up now :3

To Shadow's party girl 96: it was intended to be ;) I thought I would make shadow show his less 'perfect creature' side and bring a little humor into his personalty. lol

To Emom: Thank you for the encouraging words :) I will!

To lydiathetigeropean: (I hope thats correct ) I don't plan to quit ;)

NOW ONWARD WITH THE STORY!

The once in a lifetime opportunity

Tails and Shadow arrived at angel island to find Knuckles, Sonic, Amy, Cream, cheese, Vanilla, and Rouge all waiting by the master emerald. "guys, Shadow has something to say!" Tails tells the others. "oh great, this cant be good..." sonic says in a sarcastic voice. "Mr. Sonic, that's not very nice, let Mr. Shadow speak!" cream told Sonic innocently. Chao Chao! Cheese said, hovering above Cream. "Just get on with it already!" Amy finally blurted out, crossing her arms impatiently. "OK! OK calm down guys! Sheesh..." Tails said. " I want to use the master emerald wish." shadow finally said, preparing to be yelled at by the rest of the gang. But all that he hears is silents... He looks at the expressions of the other mobians, and on some faces he sees a casual look, such as Cream, Cheese, and Vanilla. But on the others, he sees total shock. "you want to WHAT? Come on shadow! If you let me have the wish, I wont have to keep chasing you and Knuxie over there for the chaos emeralds !" Rouge said with her 'ooh look at me! I'm a pretty girl!' glance. Knuckles widened his eyes. " Shadow, let her have the wish, LET HER HAVE THE WISH!" he yelled pleadingly. "No way, not gonna happen.." sonic said. " WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP AND HEAR ME OUT?" shadow yelled. " The reason I want to use it, is because I want to use it to bring something.. someONE that was very dear to me, back. And I think you know who... Maria. PLEASE guys! Come on! She can help us! Become part of the gang. Amy, how would you feel if sonic left, and could never come back?" Shadow asked. "don't ever talk like that Shadow! Sonic would never do that! NEVER!" Amy grabbed Sonic in a bear hug. "C-cant breathe!" sonic struggles to say. "Oh! Sorry Sonic!" Amy said apologetically. You have my approval. Amy told shadow. "What about you Sonic? What would you do if those revolting chili dogs just vanished from the face of Mobius?" shadow told sonic who had a worried look on his face. " I would DIE if that were to happen!" sonic said. " well trust me, when maria died, I wanted to die too. But I couldn't, 'cause I'm immortal." Shadow said, looking off to the side. "OK, fine, you have my approval.. Sonic said. And what about you- " Shadow was cut off. We get the picture shadow! " Both knuckles and Rouge said at the same time. " I don't care anymore. I'll just have to put up with rouge chasing me all the time again, Just make the wish, and get what you want so we can all just go on about our normal day..." knuckles said, rolling his eyes. Shadow walks up to the master emerald, and is encased in a green light. "what is your wish?" the emerald mysteriously whispered. Shadow closed his eyes. "I wish to bring Maria Ann Robotnik Back to life." Shadow said as he began to levitate. "So you have wished it, so I shall grant it." The emerald whispered again Shadow was lowered to the ground, and the green light slowly faded away. Moments later, the emerald released a rainbow of swirls, and light. Then a girl, about the age if 14 or 15 slowly appears beside the emerald. She did not move, but she was breathing. " shadow ran over to where she was laying, and picked her up and hugged her tight. He stroked her soft, blond hair as he rocked her back and fourth. "the crowd gasped. "so that's what Maria looks like!" Amy said. "Maria! My beautiful, sweet. Maria! Nothing will ever separate us again!

Well here is chapter two! Yes, I decided to give maria a middle name, Ann. It fits her, doesn't it? Well, rate and review please! If you have anything to say that would make the story more interesting, please tell! :)
