HERE IT IS!! A HAPPY ENDING!!
"So…Is there a happy ending?" Jenny asked elatedly.
"You know, I was about to tell you, but something weird happened. It's like someone changed the channel on us", Amy scratched her head.
"That's weird", Zach sweatdropped. "Anyway, let's get to the ending."
"I'm glad it's over. Hopefully the kids will fall asleep so I can get my freak on with Amy", Shadow thought to himself.
Chapter Twenty-One
Later that day, Dr. Eggman and his crew went back to the spot where they sank Cruise Rosemary. All of the waterproof robots went underwater and sealed up the holes that the bombs made on the ship. Then they went inside and sucked all of the water in like vacuum cleaners. Quickly, they went outside and dumped the water into the ocean. Thankfully, the cruise-ship came back to the surface. All of the passengers cheered as they rushed across a bridge (that was attached to Eggman's ship) and got back on the cruise-ship.
"Ok, we're done, now what?" Nega turned to the dark hero.
"Where are my tacos?" Shadow opened a hand unkindly.
"Here!" Scratch pulled out a Taco Bell sack. "Soft or hard?"
"Both", the hedgehog replied. The chicken robot unbearably gave him the bag. "Now, I want you all do one more thing…" he pondered.
(Twenty minutes later…)
"Why did he tell us to stay down here?" Grounder asked as he and the others were sitting quietly in the basement.
"I don't know", Captain Whisker shrugged his shoulders.
"But let's stay down here so that way he won't kill us like he said he would", Dr. Eggman said grouchily.
Meanwhile, the cruise-ship left the pirate ship far behind. Shadow was at the back of the ship, holding a timer in his hands. Nobody knew that he placed some bombs on the enemy's ship.
"Adios, amigos", he pressed a button.
Uncontrollably, the pirate ship exploded. In fact, the explosion was so big; it almost looked like one of those mushroom clouds. Even the space satellites could see it. The pirate ship was burnt to dust. As for Dr. Eggman, he and the others ended up flying in the sky.
"LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!!" the evil doers said unluckily until they became specks in the sky.
Shadow watched them fly in the sky with his binoculars. After they were long gone, he threw them away. Then he turned around and sighed. Job well done. He saved everyone, more importantly, Amy. Speaking of Amy, he still has one more thing to do. He searched for the ring, but he couldn't find it.
"Wh-Wh-Where the heck-!?" he began to panic.
"Looking for this", Chocola appeared next to him with the leather box in his left hand. He opened it and the ring was still safe. "Is it really that hard to keep hold of a box?" he asked with a short laugh.
"Shut up", the black hedgehog snatched the box away from him and closed it.
"Yay, you did it!" Cheese flew to him and gave him a hug around the neck.
"Way to go, buddy!" Chocola gave Shadow a hug also.
"Guys, I know you're small, but you're choking me too death", Shadow wheezed some air as his face turned purple.
"Sorry", the two chao released him.
"So, are you ready?" Chocola asked.
"…Yeah", Shadow nodded. "Where's Amy?"
"I dunno", Cheese shook his head. "You have to find her, man."
"But don't worry", Chocola smiled. "We got your back, just in case you need us."
"Thanks", Shadow replied. "Later", he took off running.
"RUN, SHADOW, RUN!!" Cheese yelled out optimistically.
(BGM plays "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis)
Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen
Dramatically, Shadow ran as fast as he could in order to find Amy. First, he checked his room. She wasn't there. Then he checked in the dining room. No sign of her there. Then he went down to the arcade room. Still no sign of her. After that, he checked in the gift shop, the jewelry store, and even in the spa room. Where the heck was she? Hurriedly, he ran back upstairs, hoping to find his beloved. He ran through the hallways, avoiding some people that didn't notice him.
But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy
Over and over again, the black hedgehog called out for her. He never got a response. He knows that she and the others came back on the ship after he stopped Dr. Eggman. Still, where was she? On and on, he kept running around the huge cruise-ship. He checked the other floors, but he didn't see her. Just then, he walked to a balcony and looked down. He saw the pink hedgehog walking her way to the edge. She looked lonely and Shadow couldn't stand that feeling.
"Amy", he said to himself and took off running again.
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Still running, he shoved some people out of the way, knocking them over as he did so. He didn't bother to apologize. All that mattered to him was seeing Amy again. Hopefully he'll get to her before it would be too late. His heart pounded anxiously as he started running faster.
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
For no reason, a group of ninjas appeared further in front of the hedgehog. Growling angrily, Shadow performed some martial arts moves and knocked them all down. Where did they come from and what did they want? Other than that, he didn't care. They were just nuisances getting in his way.
Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling
So anyway, Shadow finally made it to the front of the ship. He looked around and saw some couples sharing some affectionate kisses. That's what Shadow wanted to do with Amy right now. At any rate, he searched around until he finally saw her. She was all by herself. Bravely, Shadow walked to her. Then he stopped when he was two feet behind her.
"Amy", he spoke.
"Huh?" the pink hedgehog turned around. "Shadow, hey!" she waved kindly. "Listen, you were great back there."
"Yeah, thanks", Shadow rubbed the back of his head. "I mean, I could've thought of a better 'Yo Momma' knock out joke, but that's all I had."
"Well, at least you won", Amy shrugged her shoulders.
"Yeah, because I was going to kill the host if he gave the prize money to Metal Shadow", the dark hedgehog replied accidentally.
"What'd you say?" Amy looked at him strangely.
"Nothing", Shadow momentarily lied.
But nothing's greater than the risk that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe
"…?" Amy sweatdropped.
"Anyway, there's something that I have to tell you", Shadow said softly. "Look, I'm sorry for what I did. I mean, some guys cheat on their girlfriends and they get away with it. I thought I could get away with it, because I was still in love with strippers. But I was wrong. Dead wrong. So I just realized, you're my only love. And that strippers, prostitutes, exotic dancers, etc., are nothing but trouble. So…I love you."
"Wow", Amy looked away with a blush. "I mean, I'm sorry too. I mean, I think I went too far by embarrassing you in front of an audience, but I didn't think twice. Still, we could've talked about it, but I just got so mad at you", she rubbed her left shoulder shamefully. "See, I got anger problems, and I let them get in my way. Maybe because of me, you did all of that to me. I guess I learned my lesson. Once you do bad to someone, the bad will come back at cha. Karma, for instance."
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
The two were silent for the moment. It's been a while since they've talked to each other, so they were pretty uneasy. Even so, they needed each other. They can't replace each other because they were meant to be. Further away from them, the Chaotix and the Babylon Rogues were watching them.
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
"Man, I promised myself that I wouldn't cry", Vector sniffled with tears as he pulled out a tissue.
"Hey, wait, what about our ship?" Charmy just noticed.
"OH SHOOT!!" the Babylon Rogues looked at each other worriedly. "OUR SHIP!!"
"Great", Espio slapped his forehead. "I doubt that they want to turn this ship around for us."
"Oh, well, forget it", Jet stopped his worrying. "I mean, I don't mind hanging around here for a little bit."
"Me too", Storm nodded with agreement.
And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see
Softly, the wind breezed the two hedgehogs. Amy looked at the other hedgehog as she fiddled with her fingers. Shadow gulped, thinking that proposing to her was going to be a hard thing to do. He looked back and saw the two helpful chao. Chocola held up a picket sign that said "Don't just stand there! Propose to her!" while Cheese held up a picket sign that said "Quote from Rob Schneider: YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT!"
I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
"Anyway…I got a question to ask ya", Shadow got down on his left knee.
"Wh-What is it?" Amy asked shyly.
"Amy?" Shadow pulled out the leather box. "Will you marry me?" he opened it and the ring glowed brightly.
"Shadow!" Amy gasped in shock.
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
"Yes! We got her!" Chocola whispered to his brother proudly.
"Amy. I know we've had some bad times, but that's ok", Shadow spoke again. "I mean, everytime we argue, it brings us closer. We've had some good times, and I don't want to let them go. I know I broke your heart, but let me restore it. Will you forgive me and be mine?" he asked poetically.
"Shadow, I…" Amy blushed as her eyes looked away from him diffidently. "I don't know what to say. I mean, we've only been going out for a few weeks now, and um…"
"I promise, no more strippers", Shadow vowed.
"Well-," Amy pondered.
"I'll buy a beautiful house for the both of us."
"Um-,"
"I promise we'll make beautiful babies."
"Still-,"
"I'll buy everything off the Dollar Menu at McDonalds'."
"You got it!" Amy turned to him with a smile.
"Yes!" Shadow jumped up to his feet. Gently, he put the ring on Amy's finger. Then he looked into her eyes. She gave him the same passionate look. They closed their eyes and reached for a kiss. Until…
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
(Song ends.)
"Aww", the other passengers watched from behind.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!?" Shadow looked back at them infuriately. Because of the tone of his voice, he scared them away. "Anyway…" he turned back to Amy. Finally, he placed his lips on hers as he wrapped his arms around her waist, while the same romantic music was coming on.
"I promised myself that I wouldn't cry", Cheese whimpered with tears.
"Come on, man, don't make me cry", Chocola sniffled. "Oh, come here you!" he hugged his brother.
"WHAAAAAAAAHHH!!" the two chao cried happily with waterfall tears.
"Wait a minute…They're back together?" Sonic asked surprisingly.
"No duh", Knuckles replied sarcastically. "What are you, jealous or something?"
"No, no, no, of course not", the blue hedgehog lied. "Oh, man", he thought to himself nervously. "Should I tell them or not? Should I tell them or not?"
"You must tell them, Sonic", a small version of Super Sonic appeared on his shoulder. "If you don't, they'll be suspicious anyway", he said in a chipmunk's voice.
"Ah, don't listen to him", a small version of Dark Sonic appeared on Sonic's left shoulder. "Sure they're together again, but you still like Amy, right? So you can try to break them up again if you want", he said in an evil chipmunk's voice.
"Don't listen to him!" Super Sonic pointed at his rival meanly.
"Shut up before I pimp slap yo momma", Dark Sonic threatened.
"Oh, yeah? Well, pimp slap this!" Super Sonic pulled out a gun. Then he shot Dark Sonic and he fell from the air.
"You just shot him!" Sonic turned to his angel side seriously.
"Get over there before I mother-(beep, beep) kill ya!" Super Sonic pointed his pistol at the blue hero.
"Ok, ok, ok", Sonic nodded unpleasantly.
"Good", Super Sonic pointed at him and then vanished.
The blue hedgehog sighed with defeat. He had to listen to his angle side. After all, he caused the whole mess between Amy and Shadow. Even though he still has feelings for her, he had to do the right thing. Confess. Letting a small gulp go down his throat, he walked to the couple uneasily. Soon enough, the two hedgehogs released their lips. Then they gave each other a big hug. Shadow sensed something and let go his fiancé.
"Um, hey", Sonic appeared behind Amy.
"Hm?" Amy looked back. "Um…Hi", she said cautiously.
"Look, um…There's something that I gotta tell you guys", Sonic said as he started sweating for a little bit. "You see, um…Well, I, uh…I, um…See, I, uh…"
"Get on with it", Shadow crossed his arms frigidly.
"Ok, ok, ok", Sonic sweated some more. "You see, it was my fault that you two broke up. See, when Sally broke up with me, I started living in the single life. But when I spoke to Amy again, I developed a crush on her. So yeah, it was me that got Shadow drunk, got him hooked up with some random chick, and took those photos of him. And yeah, I did try to get with Amy even though she wasn't in love with me. But hey, you're back together!" he said cheerfully. "See, not only I broke you guys up, I got you guys back together! I was able to show Amy that Shadow was a pervert and a cheat. And I also showed Shadow that he can't handle a mad woman. But then, when you guys broke up, you realized that you needed each other. So ha, I saved your relationship!" he closed his eyes with his arms crossed and smiled.
"Err, Sonic?" Amy cocked an eyebrow terminally. "I could've figured out if Shadow was cheating on me behind my back. I mean, I have my suspicions, Sonic."
"Yeah, and our relationship isn't any of your business", Shadow glared at his rival spitefully.
"Oh", Sonic opened his eyes slowly with nervousness. "So are we happy now?"
"Amy, close your eyes", Shadow told her calmly.
"Um, ok?" Amy covered her eyes.
"Wait, wait, what's going on here?" Sonic backed up a little.
"FINISH HIM!" the Mortal Kombat announcer said viciously. Then the 'DUN, DUN, DUN' music played and everything went dark.
Madly, Shadow crackled his fists. Amy still had her eyes covered. But then, she started hearing Shadow beating the crap out of Sonic. Then she could hear Sonic begging for mercy, Shadow's bleeped cursing, and some bones being broken. Plus, she could also hear some cheering in the background. Seconds later, it got quiet.
"Um…Can I open my eyes now?" the pink hedgehog asked uncomfortably.
"Um, let's go for a walk", Shadow took one of her hands. "But keep your eyes closed." Arm to arm, he and Amy walked away.
As for Sonic, well…he really got what he deserved. He was on the ground, beaten too death. He had two black eyes, a bloody nose, his arms and legs were twisted hardly, and he was missing a few teeth. Silver and the others looked at him with shock and worry.
"Note to say: Watch out for Shadow", Espio pointed out.
"That's gotta hurt", Knuckles gulped.
"Hold that thought", Jet smirked. He tip toed to the unconscious hedgehog, took a picture of him with his digital camera and then ran back to his friends, giggling evilly as he did.
(BGM plays "Teenage Love Affair" by Alicia Keys)
"Welp…All's well ends well, right?" Tails asked gratefully with a smile. Nobody replied to him. He looked to his left and saw Cosmo and Cream with their arms crossed. He shrieked as he backed away.
"Ok, Tails. We want some answers", Cosmo tapped her left foot.
"Yeah", Cream placed her hands on her hips. "Which one of us do you like?"
"Ok, first of all…Through most of the trip, you two have been getting on my nerves", the fox clarified tranquilly.
"Let's just get to the point", the plant girl glared at him heatedly. "Who do you want?"
"Answer the question, now!" the rabbit warned.
Can't wait to get home
Baby dial your number
Can you pick up the phone
'cause I wanna holla?
Daydreaming about you all day
In school can't concentrate
Want have your voice in my ear
'Til ma comes and says it's too late
"Ok, ok, you know what?" Tails narrowed his eyebrows fatally. "I don't want either of ya! You guys are crazy! Plus, I already got a girlfriend for peace sakes!"
"YOU DO!?" his friends turned to him unpredictably.
"YES!!" Tails threw his hands in the air furiously. "Hey, Blaze, remember on 'Sonic Rush Adventure', we met Marine the Raccoon? Well, that's who I'm going out with."
"Are you serious?" Blaze widened her eyes shockingly. "Don't chu think she's a little bit older than you?"
"How did you two get together?" Silver asked.
"Well…After Sonic and I met her, I secretly gave her my number", the fox explained. "Then we started talking to each other, but then her cell phone died. Then after that, we started emailing each other on Myspace, blah, blah, blah-Look, we just basically got hooked up on Myspace, ok?"
(Chorus):
'Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
'Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
'Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
"You have a Myspace?" Rouge sweatdropped. "I didn't know that."
"Dude, I thought you had a Facebook like the rest of us", Knuckles shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, I haven't made one yet", Tails rubbed the back of his head.
"Well, if you already had a girlfriend, why didn't you tell us?" Cream asked understandingly.
"Yeah", Cosmo nodded with agreement. "Cream and I could've been friends."
"I tried to tell ya, but ya kept trying to kill each other!" Tails pulled some of his hair nauseatingly.
"Oh, well", Cream shrugged her shoulders. "Hey, Charmy", she turned to the bumble bee. "Would you like to be my boyfriend?" she asked with puppy dog eyes.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!!" Charmy buzzed away from her dreadfully. "NEVER!! I DON'T WANT YOUR COOTIES!!"
"HEY!! GET BACK HERE!!" Cream ran after him.
"So…You wanna do some kung fu with me?" Cosmo turned to Espio.
"I don't care", the chameleon walked away with her.
"Wanna rent a room together?" Waved asked the green hawk.
"YES!" Jet carried her in bridal style and zipped off.
"Hey!! What about me?" Vector said unluckily.
"You can have…My Mexican dance!" Storm puts a sombrero on his head and pulled out a couple maracas. Then he starts doing some Latin dancing.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!" the crocodile ran away like a moron.
Another secret meeting
On the 5th floor stair case
I'm gonna give you this letter
Of all the things I can't say
Want you to be my first, my last, my ending and beginning
I wrote your name in my book
You last name my first
I'm your Mrs.
(Chorus)
"Yeah…" Knuckles sweatdropped. "Anyway, where are we going?"
"Come to think of it, I've been wondering where this ship was heading ever since I got here", Rouge pondered.
"Well, that's easy!" the captain came out of nowhere. "We're going to Hawaii!" he said joyfully.
"HAWAII!?" the group said with shock and anger.
"Why, what's wrong with Hawaii?" the captain raised an eyebrow.
"Volcanoes, typhoons, hurricanes, and maybe earthquakes", the purple cat listed out.
"So what? That happens everywhere!" the captain threw his hands in the air exasperatingly.
"Dude, I thought we were going to the Bahamas", Knux scratched his head.
"I thought we were going to Puerto Rico", Rouge slapped her right cheek with shock.
"I thought we were going to Mexico", Silver pondered.
"I thought we were going to Jamaica", Tails shrugged his shoulders.
"I thought we were going to the Dominican Republic", Blaze shook her head.
"I thought we were going to Miami", Storm took off his sombrero.
Hey boy
You know I really like being with you right?
Just hanging out with you is fun
So maybe we can go to first base
Because I feel you
Second base
Want you to feel me too
Third base
Better pump the breaks
Well baby slow down
I gotta go home now
Right after that conversation, Tails walked to Sonic. The hedgehog was moaning in pain as he tried to move his body. To be honest, Tails did feel sorry for him. However, he wanted to laugh at him. But because of his sympathy, he didn't. In fact, he had a better idea.
"You alright?" he asked with concern.
"Help me", Sonic answered faintly.
"Yeah…Well, anyway, I have something to tell you", the fox began to explain. "See, I've been by your side for a long time, and I never got any fame. I mean, you always get the glory, and that's rude. Not only that, I found a Michael Jackson mask under the bed, and I think you that's been scaring me too death. Plus, you stole my car, you jerk!" he kicked the hedgehog in the hip brutally.
"OWW!!" Sonic cried in pain.
"This is for stealing my keys!" Silver came out of nowhere and kicked Sonic's left arm.
"OWWWWW!!"
"You drew graffiti on my house!" Knuckles kicked the blue hero's left leg.
"OUCH!!"
"You called me a slut!" Rouge kicked Sonic's left jaw.
"YOOOOOOOWWWWW!!"
"I hate your shoes!" Blaze kicked the blue boy in the face.
"OUUUUUUCH!!"
"And I'm gonna join in on the kicking game!" Storm jumped in out of nowhere. Then he and the others started kicking Sonic as they laughed evilly.
"OWW!! STOP IT!! LEAVE ME ALONE!! STOP KICKING ME!! MOMMYYYYYYYYYYY!!" Sonic begged and wailed with mercy.
(Chorus)
While Sonic was suffering some kicks, Shadow and Amy were on the roof of the humongous cruise-ship. They had their arms wrapped in each other's waists as they looked at the beautiful full moon. Happiness was building around them. Now they will never break up again…hopefully.
"Are you ready to live happily ever after?" Shadow asked his sweetheart friendly.
"Ditto", Amy nodded.
Romantically, the two hedgehogs shared a long kiss. Fireworks were blasted into the sky and shooting stars flew by. And they lived happily ever after…
My baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
(Song ends.)
El Fin
"That was awesome! I love this story!" Jenny said blissfully as she clapped her hands.
"Well…It was better than the first story, but not that good", Zach said critically.
"What?!" his parents said disgracefully and furiously.
"Sorry, but the story was too random", Zach shrugged his shoulders.
"You're grounded", Shadow pointed at his son ungratefully.
"Again?" his son slapped his forehead.
"Plus, you gotta get rid of this brick wall", Shadow tilted his head to the brick wall next to him.
"Alright, alright", Zach pulled out a switch. Then he pressed a button.
Magically, the brick wall disappeared. Amy got out of her seat and gave Shadow a tight hug. Looks like they're problems have been solved. After all, nothing's good without a happy ending, right?
"Now, then", Shadow got up from his seat after his hug. "Ames, let's go", he heads for the door.
"Hold on a minute!" Zach pointed at him distrustfully. "We're not even tired yet!"
"WHAT!?" his father turned to him with bloodshot eyes. "It's one o'clock in the morning, and you're still not tired?!" he looked at his watch illogically.
"Nope!" Jenny smiled. "Let's have some fun!" she got on her bed cheerily.
"UGHHH!!" Shadow fainted backwards in anime style. "I'm never gonna have sex with Amy! I'm doomed!" he thought desperately with waterfall tears. "Why did I even bother having kids anyway!?"
Wow, wow, and wow. Poor, poor, poor, Shadow. Looks like this whole story's not over yet. What's the family gonna do in order to spare some time? Tune in next time!
Preview:
"Wow...I really need to go to anger management", Amy slapped her left cheek lightly.
"Are we done yet?" Shadow asked impatiently.
"Nope!" Jenny smiled childishly.
"Ugh", Shadow slapped his forehead.
Well, that looks interesting. Tune in next time! R&R, thankies!
