FRIENDS
Amy took things very calmly. They had gathered all the ingredients to make a great meal of chillidogs. Sonic had already told them about the location of the emeralds, Shadow gave him consent by retracting what he had said about keeping the place a secret.
As I was saying, Amy seemed to be at ease. Sonic helped her set up the chillidogs and this time he didn't sit around waiting to be served. Tails and Knuckles realised that Sonic had approached Amy to spend some time together and to do her friend some good they took Shadow to relax in the wicker chairs Amy had in her house. They invited him to a glass of lemonade. Despite how strange Amy felt and how difficult the situation was (having the love of his beloved at home and as part of her friends) she was able to enjoy Sonic close to her, relaxed and not withdrawing for fear of being stalked by her. They were behaving just like old friends and this really lifted Sonic's spirit. Sitting in the armchair and covering up all intentions Shadow listened attentively to the reactions of his beloved hedgehog. And as he listened to the conversation they had between them in adhesion with Amy and Sonic's games the lemonade poured over him.-I'm not used to drink,-said-I don't calculate well the amount of liquid in a glass.-You should see him eat! Food is falling out of the corners of his mouth!-shouted Sonic.-Quiet, you fool.-Shadow reproached him. This simple comment made Amy sad, imagining all the moments they must have lived alone and together. She didn't push herself to save her pain, she just took it easy. She approached Shadow to help him-Here. You can clean yourself up with this. I'm glad you've started eating. It's very good for the soul.-That's what pu-when he was about to say pup he held himself up. He looked into her eyes, looking shadowed and tired, he realized that his heart had gone through a lot and of course the cause was himself. For fear of being over scrutinized, Amy lowered her face and went to cook again.-Thank you, Amy.-said Shadow touchingly as he watched her leave.
The food was delicious, Sonic ate until he couldn't move. The guys enjoyed the charisma and jokes of their friend again. Shadow tried to deal with the spiciness but ended up liking it and also experienced the warmth of sharing a meal with a group of friends. Although most of the time he kept quiet he was entirely present in the conversation. At the dessert he said to everyone:-I'm thinking about something. That we should split up again.-What!?-said Sonic unhinged, Tails also reacted in this way-To separate!? But we are just becoming friends!-Not in that way.-Shadow replied, leaving the glass on the table.-We should break our alliance against Robotnik. Together we are too powerful, everything is in our favour. It´s as if it were a very unbalanced scale. Robotnik will continue to look for ways to counteract it. Dangerous ways on a larger scale. I think you will be better off without me so as not to force Robotnik to do more crazy things.-Everyone was silent, Amy was paralyzed because in her head what she heard was: I'm going to separate from Sonic, but it wasn't like that, the matter that Shadow touched was very serious for an after-dinner conversation between friends. But it was also true that Shadow was adapting to them, why shouldn't they adapt to his way of being?-That way we can keep the low profile of destruction just like before I showed up.-Yeah.-answered Sonic-True.-It make sense.-said Knuckles, not too committed, with his mind at rest.-That would be a waste, and what will you do?-Tails asked Shadow-Defend the whole village by my side. Robotnik can attack you, but if he messes with the village or the animal houses, he messes with me.-and then said-In this way the animals will have two separate shields.-The boys were amazed-Wow, you have changed.-said Amy-We are very happy that you want to help.-answered Tails.-But he will ultimately end up fighting you and Sonic.-Shadow leaned against the back of the chair-I'll give him the excuse that the villa is my home. I will tell him that since I have nowhere to live I will stay in the villa...-he conjectured as he spoke-I will make him a promise which will be this: I don't care what you do with Sonic and his friends, I will not retaliate as long as you don't bother me or the place where I live. You can make him and his team whatever you want.-How boring. This guy is always so serious and responsible.-said Sonic getting up to find another chillidog, he felt a little hurt by the logical coldness of his beloved's plan-I explote of boredom or I explote of food, I prefer the latter.-Sonic!-said Amy, who did pay close attention to what Shadow was saying-He has a point. This way we will not pressure Robotnik to seek out chaotic emeralds or to manufacture weapons of mass destruction.-Exactly.-said Shadow.
