A soft groan alerted Shadow that his 'guest' was starting to come round.
"Oh man" the young fox muttered as he gazed absently round the room "what happened?"
"you fainted" Shadow stated simply causing the fox to jump.
"Shadow! Then it really did happen!" Tails spoke quickly and even the Ultimate lifeform had trouble keeping up... looked like Tails had picked up some of his adoptive brother's speedy nature "Sonic! What do we do? Oh no what's Amy going to do? And she went for Knuckles! Shadow we have to do something!"
Shadow's ears pricked up at the mention of Amy's name "slow down kid I can't understand you!" came the low growl.
Tails glanced at the floor in embarrassment "Sorry Shadow it's just after Amy told me about Sonic she said she was going to get knuckles and make sure that traitor got what she deserved... I think she was talking about Rouge"
"Probably" Shadow muttered "but Rouge isn't here for her to get"
"Sonic is though..." Tails sighed sadly "I know you don't like him Shadow but you can't give Sonic to Amy!"
The dark hedgehog was surprised by the fox's words and the tone of his voice "why not?"
"Amy's nice enough but well around Sonic she gets a little bit possessive" Tails confessed. Shadow rolled his eyes and scowled; he already knew that and had been on the wrong side of Amy before.
"It's just if Amy got Sonic" Tails let out a sob "she'd probably keep me away from him so I couldn't try and change him back. She love the fact Sonic needed her. Normally Sonic can handle Amy's affections but when he's like this I'm afraid she'll hurt him!"
Shadow silently cursed Rouge for leaving him alone as he watched Tails break down and his 'brother' follow suit. As he picked both children off the floor and moved them where he couldn't hear them sob Shadow decided he'd rather face Eggman then be stuck babysitting for the rest of time. A sound below drew his attention to the street. Shadow froze as he locked on to a familiar pair of red eyes and a deep growl rose in his throat... it looked like a jealous Amy was the least of his problems.
