Flying Monkeys

Cream ran over to the fallen Rouge once the battle was over.

"Miss Rouge, are-are you alright?" she asked in her timid way as Rouge began to come to.

"Oh what happened?" groaned Rouge as she rubbed her head sitting up, she looked around only to see the remains of a giant robot along with Sonic and the others. "Oh AMY!" cried Rouge as she remembered what had happened.

"She's ok Miss Rouge Shadow saved her," replied Cream.

"With Shadow? Under the love spell oh this could be a disaster," Rouge whispered to herself. "How are the others?" she asked pointing towards the boys.

"Erm.... They seem a bit mystified by Amy's disappearance and are plotting revenge against Shadow for stealing her, Miss Rouge, What is going on?" asked Cream with an edge of worry in her voice.

"Don't worry Cream, Amy apparently used a love spell and it's worked a little too well hahaha," laughed Rouge as she looked towards the others.

"This is not good, what if Dr Eggman takes her?!" cried Cream looking worried, Rouge looked to her, her eyes going wide before she regained her composure.

"I'm sure she'll be fine, it's Shadow we should worry about," replied Rouge, hiding the hint of worry in her voice, after all she had a reputation as a heartless she-witch to uphold.

Amy sat by the wall, her body trembling due to the cold, she wrapped her arms around her in a futile attempt to get warm, She looked over to Shadow who was fast asleep on the other side of the cave. Amy had never felt this cold before, she tried to imagine herself in some place warm.

She saw herself sitting on the beach playing in the sand with her bucket and spade, wearing her blue bikini whilst the sun warmed up her fur, she sighed in content before the image changed and Amy found herself being held in a warm embrace. "This feels familiar," she thought to herself as she lifted her head only to see bright light and the face of the one holding her.

"Sonic?? No........ Shadow!" cried Amy in joy flinging her arms round him as Shadow smiled at her.

"GASP!!!" Amy shot up, "Oh it was just a dream but, since when........." she trailed off looking towards Shadow, looking down at herself she realized that a blanket had been draped over her to keep her warm. She smiled as she looked back to the still sleeping Shadow, her smile changed into a frown as she realized that Shadow was shivering, without a second thought Amy took the blanket and laid down beside Shadow, covering them both as she snuggled down beside Shadow.

Shadow awoke later only to find the blanket he had covered Amy with on him, he looked to where Amy was, worry etched on his face when he realized she wasn't there, a soft snore, brought his attention to his side, turning he saw Amy sleeping next to him, he felt a blush rise on his cheeks, only for it to deepen as she unconsciously snuggled closer to the black hedgehog, wrapping her arms around him as if he was a giant teddy bear.

"That no good Shadow stealing my bride...... I mean hostage!" cried Dr Eggman who was having a tantrum, his lab had been wrecked, bits and pieces of different experiments laid across the floor where he had thrown them in a fit of anger and frustration.

"T-4 go and bring her back to me!!" he bellowed, watching as his latest creation speed out of the lair in order to fulfil its task.

"So where did you get this spell from?" asked Shadow once the two were ready to set off for the day.

"From a lovely small shop called the Cat Bureau," replied Amy walking out of the cave, stretching her arms as she walked.

"Never heard of it," said Shadow looking off towards the city. Amy took in the view that was outside the cave.

"Oh wow Shadow, the view... it's just... wow," said Amy as she walked to the edge of the cliff the small cave was located on. Shadow gave her a sideward glance, a smirk on his face.

"Humph at least you appreciate true beauty, unlike that faker, he misses out when he runs," replied Shadow, his cheeks tinted as he hoped that she didn't understand the secret meaning to that, "Yeah he's always running away from you," he thought to himself, not once looking at Amy.

Amy's head was down, "Running.....Always running......Always away from me," thought Amy sadly before she realized something.

"Hey Shadow, how come you're not affected by the love spell?" asked Amy curiously.

"Humph I am the ultimate life form, I am not susceptible to foolish things," replied Shadow before walking down the cliff side, Amy following behind silently in thought.

Amy had a lot to think about, last night her dreams were all wrong, oh they were all romantic as usual, but they had the wrong hedgehog in them.

"How dare Shadow take Sonic's rightful place! Sonic is the one I love! Right?" she thought to herself angrily, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't forget the feeling it gave her, with Sonic, it was like wishful thinking but with Shadow, it was like heaven "Stop it Amy, you can't be falling for Shadow, it's admiration yeah that's right you're grateful to him for saving your life," Amy told herself mentally.

When Amy looked up she suddenly noticed that there were a lot of wild jungle creatures around them, and what was more worrying was that they were looking straight at her and for some reason, she knew that they were all male.

"Shadow?" she whispered fearfully hoping that he had heard her, "Shadow," she called a little louder, Shadow stopped in his tracks and turned around to face Amy, who was too busy keeping an eye on all the animals rather then what was in front of her.

SNAP

The sound of twigs braking as Amy fell on them set the animals off, all at once they pounced on her.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" she screamed as she tried to defend herself from the animals that seemed happy to just hump her leg.

"EWWWW!!!!" she screamed before kicking her legs sending animals flying everywhere. "GET OFF ME!!!!"

"Ohoh ak!" Shadow sweat dropped as a monkey was kicked over his head, he ducked just in time to avoid the flying wolf.

Amy ran and pounced onto Shadow's back.

"Run Shadow RUN!!!!!!" she cried as she griped him tight. Knowing that his attempts to get her to release her strangle hold on him were futile, Shadow began jogging at super speed.

Shadow came to an abrupt stop at the top of a hill, sending Amy flying, unfortunately for Shadow, she was still holding onto him when she went tumbling down the hill, making him tumble down with her.

"Whee!!!!!!" cried Amy laughing as the two tumbled down the hill, Shadow smiled a rare smile, he liked her laugh, he shook his head to clear his thoughts, just in time to see them head straight for a pond.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" they both cried jumping out of the water, each were completely drenched, and each were violently shivering from the coldness.

"M-m-m-man, Wh-wha was dat pond made fro-from ice?" stuttered Amy, Shadow just huffed in reply before shaking his quills dry the way a dog would dry his fur. "Gee tanks f-f-for the shower," said Amy as she had been sprayed by all the water that had come off of Shadow and began wringing her quills to get the water off of them.

Amy looked over towards Shadow, she tried to keep a straight face before she burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha Oh Shadow......You have a..... snigger......Frog......on your head, bwahahahaha," Amy said between laughter, Shadow looked up in time to see a frog jump off of his head, only to be joined by another making Amy roar with laughter.

Shadow humph at her, trying desperately not to smile.

"Ah come on Shadow, smile for me," said Amy giving him a bright smile, she cold see that he was holding it back, well what do you expect from Shadow, Amy sighed in disappointment, only to have a frog jump out from underneath her top.

"Snigger.....heh....snigger....Hahahahahaha!!!" laughed Shadow, it felt good to laugh, it had been so long since the last time he had laughed, or even smiled, but somehow only Amy had the power to elicit true happiness from him, Amy looked at the frog then back to Shadow, before she too burst into uncontrollable laughter.

It was a while before the two decided to carry on with their journey to the city, each were silently enjoying each others company. "Wow I never thought hanging out with Shadow could be so much fun, why can't Sonic and I ever get a chance like this, oh well, I never should have used that spell, I want Sonic to like me for me" Amy thought to herself as she walked behind the ebony hedgehog, "Wait a minuet!!! Like!! I mean love, I want him to love me for me, I want to feel this love with Sonic, wait! This love, what love?" and then it dawned on her, "No that's impossible, I can't be falling for Shadow can I? No way! Besides he wouldn't fall for me anyway, and I can't handle that rejection from him, sigh, somehow it's easier if he were Sonic and were just running away from me, that's how it is, and I guess that's how it will always be, oh why do I always have to fall in love with those who will never love me back, first Sonic now Shadow," thought Amy, she stopped when she realized that she had tears rolling down her cheeks, quickly she wiped them away, hoping that Shadow hadn't seen.

Shadow hadn't, he was too busy think about his own heart, "Maybe I have fallen under the spell too, there is now way that me and Rose could ever be....." he thought before a voice in his head interrupted him "There's no way Amy would feel that way about you, and her spell? Excuses, she only put the spell on yesterday, how many sleepless nights have you had just thinking about her and how much you love her," he mentally huffed, love was for the weak, and he was not weak.

"Come on, we should go to the shop to buy an antidote," Shadow said coldly without look at Amy, missing her cringe at sharp his tone.
