Here is part 2! Not much else to say...enjoy!
That... mid-afternoon, Shadow dreamed back to the distorted memories of the ARK. He was once again in the lab. And a quick look down revealed that he was indeed still a girl. Professor Gerald was running some tests on the computer while Maria was talking to Shadow. "So Terry, how do you like the ARK? I find it fun, but a bit boring for us girls!"
Shadow remained quiet, still having trouble with the vivid dreams about Maria.
Maria giggles. "I know! I'll show you all about being a girl! Grandfather? I'm taking Terios to my room!"
"Huh? Oh, right. Ok, Maria…Now where is Dark Doom?"
Shadow wanted to stay and hear more about Dark Doom's role in her creation, but Maria dragged her to her room and locked the door. "Finally, just us two girls! Now, time to teach you what us girls do!" She pulls out a make-up kit.
Shadow eyes it cautiously. "Maria...what are you doing with that...?"
Maria giggles. "Terry, I'm going to give you a makeover!" Shadow runs, but can't run far in a small room. Maria sets her on a chair and pulls out the lipstick. "Ready, Terry?"
Shadow shakes her head no repeatedly, but it's no use. Maria starts putting it on. At first, Shadow struggled, but soon it started feeling good...natural. Shadow had no complaints as Maria put the rest of the makeup on her. In fact, Shadow even asked how to do it herself. Soon, she was a makeup pro.
"So I see you're having fun, ultimate Life-form." Came a voice at the doorway. Shadow looked up to see Dark Doom watching him. Shadow got into a fighting position. Dark Doom laughs. "You may do after all...you may do..."
Shadow woke up with a start. "Doctor...did you get it?"
Robotnik sighed as he continued typing away. "Terios, it wasn't Synth-Tails. I never thought it was."
Shadow just stared at him. "WHAT? Doctor, what's happening then?"
Robotnik is silent for a moment. "Terios, according to the machine, nothing but memory loss. I've searched history, your mind, even your DNA, and this is reality."
Shadow shakes her head. "No...This can't be reality! It can't!"
"Terios...it is. Now scram, before I decide to take advantage of your stupidity and capture you!"
Shadow quickly beats up Robotnik and walks out. As she walks she keeps going over her memories in her head. She realized that something was different. Her very first memory, waking up on the ARK a male, was replaced with the dream she had the night before, about waking up female. In fact, it was getting harder to remember the previous memory. Shadow rushed off toward Rouge's house, desperate for more answers. As she was running, as much as she could with high heels, she ran into a certain blue blur. "OOF" Shadow and Sonic were both thrown to the ground. Shadow picked herself up and sighed. "Watch where you're going, faker!"
Sonic dusts himself off and laughs. "Next time don't run so slow, Shads!" And off Sonic took like a flash.
Shadow shook her head, and finished the walk to Rouges house. "Why must Sonic be in such a hurry. I'm a lady for...WHAT? NO! I am NOT a lady!" Shadow shook as she entered the house. A note on the fridge let Shadow know that Rouge had been called up on an emergency assignment and wouldn't be back that night. "Strange...why wasn't I assigned?" She shrugged and entered her room. She decided to get to sleep early, and soon was fast asleep. And again, she dreamed...
Sonic ran the whole day, and was getting ready for his date with Amy. He took her to a fancy restaurant, one they seemed to frequent often lately. As they were talking about their day, Sonic mentioned something. "...Yeah, so I was running and I ran into Shadow! He just stood in front of me! Well, we tumbled onto the ground, and he told me to watch out where I was going! I just laughed and went on. Crazy Shads. Well, then I went to..." Amy had stopped listening long before this and just nodded, while dreaming about her and Sonic married...
