Amy's POV

These past few days have been the best of my life. Shadow took me out to a movie one day, and he took me out for lunch the next. On the third day, we just hung out at his dismal apartment. I couldn't be happier. At first, I only told Rouge. I should have known she wouldn't keep it quiet. It wasn't long before it spread out to everyone I knew.

Flashback:

"Amy!" Blaze squealed after a quick embrace.

"I know!" I squealed back.

"You and Shadow!"

"I know!"

"Congrats!"

"THANK YOU!"

End Flashback

Even the little ones seemed to hear about it.

Flashback:

"Amy!" Cream squeaked one day. "I heard about you and Mr. Shadow!"

"I know!" I agreed. "It's really exciting! I never thought I'd actually like him more than Sonic!"

"Congrats!"

"Thanks."

End Flashback

But not everyone was happy. Poor Charmy just couldn't seem to get over it.

Flashback:

"Amy… you're so lucky," Charmy told me one day.

"Why?"

"Because… you liked Sonic before, but he didn't like you, and then you found out another guy likes you. I hope you're happy."

"I am. I'm the happiest girl alive!"

"Why can't something like that happen to me?!" he yelled. "Why did Cream have to pick that stupid fox over me?! She barely even knows him!" I pat him gently on the back.

"I know how you feel, Charmy…"

End Flashback

Well, I guess Charmy was just jealous that I managed to get a boyfriend after my previous crush rejected me a lot faster than him. I couldn't really blame him, though. The one person I can blame, though, is Elise. I really don't know what she has against me. Ever since Sonic asked her out, she seems to thrive for my misery. I can't stand it. But, I didn't really worry about it for too long after Shadow asked me out. Today, I was in Soleanna, trying to live through a boring day. Shadow had a mission for G.U.N., and couldn't meet me until at least five. He said he'd meet me in Soleanna, since that was the city he had to work in. Why Soleanna… not that I really cared at the time, though. I sat on a bench and sighed. Today was going to be a long day. "Hey Amy…" said a voice that sent chills down my spine. Why, why did she have to be here? I forced a smile.

"Hello Elise."

"I heard about you and Shadow. Aren't you lucky…" I didn't expect her to congratulate me. There was no way Elise would do something like that. "Are you sure you really like him though?" I grit my teeth together.

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Oh really? You've gotten over Sonic?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure? I mean… Shadow can only give you temporary happiness… What happens tomorrow when Sonic's back in your head?"

"Sonic will never get back in my head."

"So you don't care about him?" I suddenly realized my mistake.

"No! I do care about him! Just not like I used to. He's just a friend now."

"Really? Cause you just lied to yourself and Shadow by saying that." A knot formed in my throat; I couldn't speak. What if she was right? Was I really lying to Shadow? Was I really over Sonic? Could I really have gotten over him so quickly?

"Y-you're lying…" Elise cocked an eyebrow.

"I'm not lying… you're just in denial…" I couldn't take it anymore. I got up and ran as far away from her as I could. Tears began to form in my eyes. I closed my eyes, and they began to fall. I kept on running, not stopping until I ran into someone… the last person I wanted to see right now.

"Amy?" Sonic the hedgehog asked, pulling me off of him. "You ok?" I wiped my tears and forced a smile.

"Y-yeah… I'm fine…" Unfortunately for me, he didn't seem convinced.

"Yeah… what happened?"

"Nothing!"

"Something must have happened!"

"Yeah, nothing happened!"

"Just tell me!"

"Fine!" I took a deep breath and began my story. "Elise—"

"What does Elise have to do with this?"

"Everything. Anyway, she told me… that I was lying to Shadow and I really didn't like…" I hoped Sonic understood what I meant. I really didn't want this getting all awkward.

"What do you mean?"

"She said… that I was lying to Shadow and myself by thinking… that… I was fully over you…" I have no idea how I managed to say that to Sonic. I felt myself blushing as soon as I was done. Sonic nodded slowly, indicating that he wanted more of the explanation. "But I… I can't be…" The tears returned. "I can't be lying to Shadow… am I? I mean… these past few days have been the best of my life… I… I don't see how I'm lying…"

"You aren't." If any guy could calmly give romantic advice to a girl who was once madly in love with him, he's amazing. No wonder I once liked him. "If you truly love Shadow, you'll know it for sure… and you do… which is good."

"So I'm not hurting Shadow?" He shook his head. I involuntarily threw my arms around him. I was so relieved to find out that I wasn't hurting Shadow in any way.

"Thanks Sonic!" Sonic pat me awkwardly on the back. The pats suddenly began to slow down.

"Amy… I think you should turn around…"

"What?" I released Sonic and turned around. Shadow stood there, staring at the floor, his eyes full of remorse.

"I'm such an idiot…" he whispered to himself. "I should have known you weren't over Faker yet... I probably should have given it more time…" And with that, he chaos controlled away.

"Shadow, wait!" But he was gone. I turned back to Sonic, who merely shook his head.

"Sorry Amy," he told me. "I'll help you with Elise, but you created this problem on your own. You're fixing it the same way." Sonic took off running as I began to feel an empty pit in my stomach."
