Author's note: This takes place after SA2:Battle. When everyone thinks that
Shadow is dead, but he isn't really. Then we find out who Sonic really
likes, and if Knuckles has ever really done anything nice for a girl. And
we get a new enemy! Well, I've already told much, so, READ!

Chapter 3: What Strawberries couldn't cure...
"Tikal!" said Roxie as she and Shadow stepped onto the Floating Island.
"Yes! Coming!" said Tikal.
"Tikal! Don't leave the Master Emerald! We'll get there!" shouted Roxie.
Roxie leaded Shadow toward where an orange echidna with ancient clothing was.
"Hi Tikal!" said Roxie.
"Hey, Roxie! Who's your friend here?" said Tikal eying Shadow curiously.
"Is he your BOYFRIEND?" said Tikal.
Shadow and Roxie blushed at this comment.
"No, I'm not her boyfriend! We just met." Said Shadow.
"Anyway, This is Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow meet Tikal. Tikal meet Shadow." Said Roxie.
Tikal and Shadow shook hands but Tikal still eyed him suspiciously.
"He's exhausted from using the Chaos Control." Said Roxie.
"Hold the phone for a sec! You mean your 'Shadow the Hedgehog'! The one that I've been helping sometimes!" said Tikal pointing at him.
"Yes, I am Shadow! You mean you're the ancient light!" said Shadow.
"Yeah! You're alive!!" said Tikal. "Cool!" she said.
"Oh yeah. You're exhausted! Um, Roxie! Go find some Strawberries!" said Tikal.
"I'm on it!" said Roxie.
Roxie then sped off toward the forest to find some strawberries.
"So, how'd you really escape the fall?" questioned Tikal.
"I told you! I used Chaos Control!" said Shadow.
"Alright I believe you. Um, Do you like Roxie?" asked Tikal. "I saw the way you blushed when I asked if you were her boyfriend." Said Tikal.
"I, uh, guess I do like Roxie a bit. She's really nice and." said Shadow.
"And..?" said an eager Tikal.
"And cute. " Said Shadow.
He started blushing again.
"I knew it! You like her!" said Tikal.
"Do you think she likes you?" asked Tikal.
"I hope she does!" said Shadow.
"She has to! She seemed really concerned about you when she brought you here." Said Tikal.
-------------------------------Roxie's POV--------------------------------- ---
"How could Tikal think Shadow was my boyfriend?" said Roxie as she was looking for Strawberries.
"I mean, I don't even know if he likes me!" she said.
"I don't even know if I like him!" she thought.
"But he is kinda cute. That dark fur with that tan face and those beautiful red ruby eyes that just pull me in when I look into them." Sighed Roxie.
"I guess I won't know until then." Said Roxie.
She then started to think about Sonic and Tails and everyone else that was up there.
"I wonder if Sonic is okay." Said Roxie pausing for a moment.
She started to touch something in her pocket. It was the thing that allowed her to see in the Ark. She called it 'SIS' because it stands for See In Space.
"Hey Tails! Anyone?" she called. Up in the Ark, Tails herd a voice calling his name.
"Where have I herd that voice before?" thought Tails.
He then headed toward the sound.
"Hey Sonic! Everyone come here!" yelled Tails.
"What is it Tails?" called Sonic.
"It's Roxie!" said Tails, as he looked into the screen that showed Roxie's face.
"How are ya' doing Roxie?" asked Sonic with a grin.
"Oh fine! How's everything down there?" asked Roxie over the screen.
" Not good. Shadow just died." Said Knuckles.
"Well, Are you guys in for a treat!" said Roxie.
"You mean, he's not DEAD?" said Rouge.
"Well, you guys better come over here, 'cause I don't wanna' spoil the surprise!" said Roxie.
"Where are you?" said Eggman.
"Oh, I'm at the Floating Island. Knuckles, can you get them there?" asked Roxie.
"Sure, in about 3 min." said Knuckles.
"Great! See ya' soon!" said Roxie as she went off screen.
"Cool! What if Shadow's alive!" said Amy.
"Hopefully!" said Rouge.
----------------------------------End POV---------------------------------- --------
Just then, Roxie brought a whole bunch of strawberries.
"Hey guys!" Roxie said.
"I've brought the berries!" said Roxie as she placed the basket of berries on the floor.
"Now what?" asked Roxie.
"Well, feed him the berries!" said Tikal.
"You mean she's gonna' feed me the berries? To my mouth?" said Shadow.
"Yeah! That's the best cure I know for someone who's as tired as you!" said Tikal.
As Tikal left them alone she thought to herself, "What Strawberries couldn't cure, a bit of honey would to a tired mouth."
"So, I guess we should get started." Said Roxie.
"Yeah, I guess so." Said Shadow.
Roxie then placed herself on the grass but found it was way to uncomfortable.
"Ugh! I hate this grass! It's so uncomfortable!" she said.
"You can sit on my lap if you want." Said Shadow.
"You sure?" said Roxie.
"Yeah, I mean I'm tired but not so tired to not let someone like you to sit on my lap." Said Shadow.
Roxie then gently placed herself on Shadow's lap. She felt better now. She then brought a strawberry to Shadow's mouth. He saw her bring it towards him so he slowly parted his lips to meet the soft skin of the berry. One by one she fed him a berry and he secretly enjoyed it. Roxie started getting red stains all over her gloves, but it didn't matter to her. She then came upon the last berry. As she neared it towards him he gently picked it from her fingers and placed it in her mouth. Shadow, during this time, was slowly getting better. Roxie bit into the sweet strawberry that he had placed in her mouth. "Now, was my chance." thought Shadow as he slowly neared Roxie. Roxie saw him coming toward her. She thought he was gonna' tell her something in her ear until that moment. Shadow gently placed his hand on Roxie's face and turned it toward his. He started to bring it closer and closer to his own until their eyes met. The green emerald colored eyes and the red ruby ones. Roxie just let his eyes take her away. She slowly closed her eyes as his lips met hers.
"Just like sweet honey." Thought Shadow.
They parted slowly. Shadow then stared at Roxie and muttered a quick apology.
"It's alright Shadow." She said. "I liked it."
Shadow smirked a bit at this. They then kissed again. This time, Shadow kissed deeper. Roxie slowly put her hands around his neck as he leaned her against a stone post. Shadow massaged her hips a bit. She parted her lips a bit to let Shadow caress her lips. Shadow stopped for a breather.
"Had enough?" said Roxie.
"Not yet." Said Shadow.
The little love scene continued for quite a while. They didn't notice that Sonic and Co. arrived. They didn't hear Knuckles and Rouge making catcalls. Then as they parted they herd Tikal say, "I see you guys are having fun."
Shadow and Roxie blushed at this.
"So, Shadow, I see you wasted no time to start living life." Said Knuckles.
Shadow and Roxie both jumped up.
"Hi Knuckles." Said Roxie, giving him a quick peck on the cheek, which turned him red.
"Ah, Roxie! Not in public!" said Knuckles teasingly.
"So Mr. 'Ultimate Life form.' How's life now that you just kissed a girl?" said Sonic.
"Hey, Sonic!" said Shadow now greeting his friend.
"So, no more fighting, Ok?" said Sonic.
"When I feel like it." Said Shadow.
"Ha! I'll always be ready!" said Sonic.
"Hey, Roxie. I need to tell you something later on." Said Sonic.
"Alright." Said Roxie.
After greeting everyone, Shadow told them how he escaped his death. Later on, Amy snuck up behind Sonic to ask him something.
"Sonic?" asked Amy.
Sonic turned around to see the pink hedgehog.
"Yes Amy?" said Sonic.
"I thought you liked me." Said Amy.
Sonic then gave a little sigh, "Amy, as a friend I like you. I sorta am starting to like Roxie." He said.
Roxie then came up behind Sonic.
"You know Amy, I could hook you up with a friend of mine. He's name is Julian the Hedgehog. He looks exactly like Sonic." Said Roxie.
"Really?" said Amy.
"Really really." Roxie said.
"I can't wait to meet him." Said Amy.
"I'm sure you can't." said Roxie.
Amy then left them alone.
"So Sonic. What did you want to tell me?" asked Roxie getting really close to Sonic.
