Chapter 9 (Snippet)
Amy quickly turned around, and picked up the leaf. She bit her lower lip, Shadow and I just kissed! I always thought Sonic will be my first… but this feels all right. I don't regret any of it. She mused, strolling over to the river. But then again she he kissed her when he was being sly. Nevertheless, she didn't count that as a kiss. She was careful not to make any contact with Shadow, because she knew and he knew that the air was tense.
Shadow watched the petite figure make her way towards the river and silently laughed when she got frustrated over the water pouring out. He heard faint 'Damns' and 'Whops'.
Amy finally scooped enough water for her to hold and reluctantly nodded to Shadow. He shook his head and started to lead her back to the cave. The silence was bearable - well for Shadow. But Amy couldn't take it, she had to say something!
"Umm, you know Shadow. The stars are pretty tonight."
Shadow chuckled. "We can't even see the stars right now. The trees' canopies are blocking it."
Amy blushed and shifted her eyes to a different direction. In no time, Shadow and Amy reached their temporary home and Shadow used his Chaos Spear to make small bowls out of rocks. Amy poured the water in and didn't notice Shadow already had grabbed the sticks to make a fire. But of course, he was The Ultimate Life Form so he used his Chaos Spear to light that up.
"Tell me," he said, startlingly her.
She looked over at him, as the fire's light illuminated only part of his face. "Yeah?"
"Why are you running away from him? I thought you had this unbearable love for him?"
Amy chuckled. "Had. That's the key word; it wasn't something like I just woke up and decided not to love him anymore. I debated over the topic for some time - then I realized that I needed to move on. I always heard that he doesn't want to be tie down to anyone, including me." She said sadly.
Shadow wanted to rip the faker's throat so badly. How can anyone make her suffer like this? He thought.
"Plus, I helped him out numerous times and … he'd saved me countless time, but that's not the point. He expresses his gratitude but not in a romantic or interested way. So… I was getting it, slowly." Amy said drinking the water. "So here I am, suddenly I think I have no purpose in life… but now I do!"
"Which is?" He was genially interested.
"Helping you!" She beamed. It became silent and then she asked. "What are you doing anyways? I think I have the right to know since I'm your partner and all."
Shadow rolled his eyes. "I'm trying to look for Project C.O.U.R.A.G.E. I heard that Eggman is working on that, and I want to destroy it before it can harm the world."
"That's pretty modest, you becoming all heroic and all." Amy smiled.
"Let's get this straight, girly," he smoothly slid next to her and pushed her against the wall, with their hands entwined. "I am not nice. I'm just doing that for the benefit for myself and honestly I'm curious of what he'll turn out to be."
Amy gasped a little and blushed. "O-Okay. But no matter what I'm tagging along." She changed her face expression and smiled. "So I could save the world from harm since you don't want to take the credit."
Shadow smirked at her cuteness and let her go. "Whatever, do as you please. Just don't get in my way, I hate it."
"All right," Amy nodded. "Whatever you say."

"It's getting dark, Sonic, maybe we should just camp out," Tails suggested.
"Don't be such a baby," Knuckles said, patting his head. "Are you scared of the dark?"
Tails brows furrowed. "N-NO! I'm just tired… we've been walking for hours now."
"Yeah, right. You're just saying that," he smirked. "Are you scared that the ghosts are going to creep you?"
Tails looked over towards the darken woods nervously. "Like… BOO!" Rouge said in his ear.
Tails jumped at least five feet in the air. And Knuckles and Rouge started to laugh, holding their sides for support.
"Aw, cut it out guys. I think it's best if we just rest a bit I guess." Sonic folded his arms. "The path is getting to dark to see anyways, which isn't a problem for me but…" His voice trailed off, making Tails feel bad.
"Oh, Sonic, I'm sorry!"
"It's cool, bud. I think its best we ought to rest anyways. They probably are too." Sonic said, suddenly on the branch of the tree. He folded his arms and placed them behind is head, and closed his eyes.
"I agree," Bliss chimed in, her back against the tree.
"I'm in," Rouge said nonchalantly and strolled over to Bliss. The rest agreed, but the most grateful was Cream. She just hated the dark!
