Sitting on the chair in front of the computer in his high tech workshop/lab Tails wired up the Pink Chaos Emerald that he had asked Shadow for on the way home. The hedgehog had let him have it but was reluctant to let it go...That had seemed weird. Tails turned on the machine and scanned the Emeralds data onto the computer...It looked like it was going to take a while. As he waited for the data to load up he walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a bag of sweets from the counter. He was saving them to eat tomorrow with Cream- They were going to the park together but he could always buy another packet. The computer beeped as it brought up the results on the screen. Tails chewed slowly as he read the results and worked out what had happened.

''So the Emerald's molecular structure became loose when Eggman's laser hit it...Amy was holding the Chaos Emerald...''

Tails looked at the picture on the screen. There was the Chaos Emeralds own structure mixed in with something else...Hedgehog DNA. Tails had files on each of the team members for a situation that required info about them - if they couldn't tell or wouldn't, Sonic thought it was pointless but Tails always thought ahead. Clicking on Amy's name he brought up her file...That is an old picture! her DNA matched what was in the Emerald - Just as he had expected.

''So because the Emerald's structure was loose Amy's DNA latched on to the Emerald and some of the Emerald's power latched on to Amy's DNA...And all that happened in a fraction of a second..Amazing!...Well not good for Amy...This is going to be hard to explain and even harder to deal with.''

The clunk of the key turning in the lock was echoed in the silence of Shadow's apartment and it was all dark, like nobody lived there. Shadow the Hedgehog flicked on the lights, wandered over to his room and sat down on his bed, feeling helpless and bored. The silence was annoying him so he got back up and walked over to his shelves, full of CD's - mainly rock/metal music, some of the bands introduced to him by Amy. He had thought that she liked Pop music at first but that was before he got to know her better. He smiled as he saw All Time Low - Dear Maria. This was one of his favorite songs but he wasn't really in the mood for it right now. So after a few moments of indecision he settled on a My Chemical Romance CD and put it in the stereo. Lying back on the bed he wondered what he should do now! Shadow sighed and listened to the music and looked around his room. Tails, Sonic and Amy had helped decorate it. Even though he didn't say it he was grateful, when he got this place it was a dump. The floor is a dark wood and the walls a deep red. His furniture is wood painted black and he has several posters on the wall and a few photographs.

If Amy wasn't in hospital he would call her...But she is so he can't. He thought about the Emerald.

''Hmmm. I should tell Rouge q that Amy is in hospital.''

The black hedgehog picked up his phone and called Rouge the Bat, hoping she wouldn't get vocal on him.

Rouge tutted impatiently. Daytime TV is so boring! There was nothing to do! Perhaps she could go out...suddenly her phone burst into life, showing Shadow's picture.

''What could Shaddie possibly want...?''

''Rouge. How are you?''

''I'm fine Shadow. What's the problem?''

''I was just calling you to say that Amy is in hospital-''

''WHAT?'' The black hedgehog winced as his eardrums took some pounding.

''If you let me finish, she isn't seriously hurt just knocked out - the nurse said she would call me when Amy woke up. When the nurse calls me I will call you. Is that okay?

''Fine. But you have alot of explaining to do!''

With that she hung up, stressed about her pink friend. She suddenly grinned and grabbed her bag and turned off the TV. Time to go shopping - buying a present for Amy is a good excuse as any!

Running at the speed of light, Sonic the Hedgehog grinned. He was feeling happy because Amy wasn't going to die! She's alright! The pink hedgehog meant alot to him, as a friend. It was kinda boring without her, the world felt empty...come to think of it so was his stomach! Twitching his nose he swerved and followed the scent of the chilli dog. The blue hedgehog drooled as he ground to a halt in front of the chilli dog stand.

''The usual please....''

''Okay Sonic!''

The man served 15 chillidogs and Sonic proceeded to eat one after the other in record time, burping loudly afterwards. Sonic said his goodbyes and ran back to his apartment.

REVIEW PLEASE!
