Chapter 2: The Awful Truth
Walking around the mall Amy inhaled all the scents of the daytime shopping mall. Smelling a particularly nice one she walked over to the perfume store.
"Smell anything you like?" asked a salesclerk.
Amy thought for a moment. "Yeah, this one." she said pointing to a small frosted white glass bottle.
She picked it up. "This is one of our newest scents, it's called Evening Rose. Would you like it wrapped up?" she asked.
Amy gave it a final whiff. "Yes, please." she said walking off to pay for it. 'Shadow might like it, it's a subtle fragrance yet it's not enough to choke whoever smells it.' she thought and then added. 'Why do I care what Shadow likes? I'm only going to hear what happened to Sonic...' Thinking about him again made her heart ache. She missed him deeply and hoped Shadow's news were good news.
"Thank you." she said walking off to another store. Glancing at the time she noticed it was getting late and she still needed to get ready. "Better hurry back!" she said to herself heading toward the exit.
Arriving back at her apartment she noticed Shadow was missing. She decided he better be back my 7:00 or else...
*~*~*~*~*
Shadow had decided he needed some time alone before his 'date'. He almost didn't see a figure lightly touch down on the ground beside him. "You!" he said whipping his head around to get a good look.
"Hello." was the light reply. A crimson hedgehog with green streaks in his quills stood in the fading sunlight. He had crystal blue eyes which stared right onto the surprised black hedgehog. He wore a pair of gauntlets each gleaming in a newly illuminated streetlight. He wore a pair of black boots that cuffed at the knee, laced up in red; they looked as if they were made with raw leather. Around his waist he wore a silvery grey karate belt he also wore a pair of grey cotton pants made a slight scratching noise as he walked. Draped over him was a blue cape which bunched up hiding half of his muzzle behind it. "Long time no see." he said after Shadow had no reply.
"Turbo..." he said still a bit shocked to see him. "What are you doing here...?" he asked finally.
"Oh, you know, this and that." he replied. "How've yo-" he began.
"Why didn't you come and help?!" Shadow chastised, now on his feet and balling his hands into tight fists.
"Whoa, whoa back up. Help?" asked Turbo, truly baffled by the outburst.
"It's your fault he died..." said Shadow feeling immense grief overwhelm him again.
Now Turbo got serious. "What. Happened." he asked.
"He's dead... Sonic died trying to save me." said Shadow. "He could've let me die, instead he played the hero again. He always does that!" said Shadow his voice raising with each sentence.
"I'll ask you again." said Turbo sitting down beside Shadow on the bench. "What, happened."
"Sonic and I decided to finish Metal Sonic once and for all. Of course it wasn't easy, finding the damn robot was hard enough. Eggman knew we were coming... On the last stand Metal Sonic was going for me, Sonic sacrificed himself for me. he got hit instead, Metal Sonic was destroyed but with the ultimate price..." said Shadow shedding a few tears.
"And Amy?" Turbo asked, wondering how she would react to the news.
"I haven't told her yet. I'm supposed to meet her at Twinkle Park of all places." he said. "Sonic's last wish was for me to take care of her. What time is it?" he asked and added. "I'll tell her there."
Turbo looked at the sky. "It looks about 6:30, go easy on her. You know how emotional she can get." he said.
"As if you care..." said Shadow. "We needed you and you didn't come. Were you too busy?" he asked.
That last comment really irked the crimson hedgehog. "Listen, Did you ever tell me in the first place?" he asked looking at Shadow who had no answer. "Now is NOT the time to be blaming anyone. I know you're feeling woeful right now. Sonic wouldn't want this, you know it. Now carry out his last wish, I must be leaving now." with that he jumped, soaring past the buildings and out of sight.
"Right..." said Shadow turning in the direction of Amy's apartment and breaking into a run.
*~*~*~*~*
Amy was getting a little bit worried as 6:45 rolled around. She had spent the last hour getting ready. Dressed in a white shirt and a cute pair of red short-alls. She picked out her favorite red sandles, the ones with the straps that buttoned with little hearts. Switching her usual red headband for a white one with hearts on it she decided she was ready. Now all she had to do was wait...
Absentmindedly tapping her fingers on the counter she finally heard a whoosh and opened her door. Standing there was Shadow, holding a daisy nonetheless. "Let's go." he said simply.
Squealing with delight Amy allowed Shadow to lift her up and run her all the way to the theme park.
When they arrived Amy insisted they go on the Ferris Wheel first. She loved going up high and having it stop with them at the very top, overlooking all there was to see. The park was especially beautiful on the summer night. Lights of every colour flickering and shining on the many rides and attractions.
"So can we? Please, please?" asked Amy.
Shadow just shrugged. "Sure." he said giving her a look of pity as she jumped around with yay's. 'Enjoy your happiness for now Amy.' he thought to himself as they began walking towards the large attraction.
Amy jumped over and said in one of the booths as Shadow paid the man and got in beside her. Both feeling a jolt as the Ferris Wheel began to turn in slow circles.
"Isn't this beautiful?" Amy asked gazing at the theme park below them all the people becoming very small.
Shadow glanced out the window, he hated to admit it but she was right. The view was breathtaking, taking a long look he finally looked back at Amy who had also stopped looking.
"You think it's beautiful too." she said moving a bit closer to him. Then gave a small but surprised giggle as the felt the ride slow to a stop at the very top.
"Amy... I" said Shadow wondering if this was the right time to tell her.
"Yes, Shadow?" said Amy softly, moving in closer and laying her head on his shoulder. "I love it up here." she added. "So peaceful..." she closed her eyes snuggling into his shoulder.
It's not the time, his heart told him. Instead Shadow did something very unexpected, he curved his arm around Amy letting his fingers slightly rest on her arm.
For some reason Amy never wanted the ride to end, but end it did and the two hedgehogs stepped off to go somewhere else.
Many rides and attractions later, Shadow noticed it was getting late. They were both sitting at a table near a drink stand. It was now of never...
"Amy..." he said lightly touching her hand. "You... want to know what happened to Sonic?" he asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Amy didn't catch it. "Yeah, Shadow?" she asked sipping her Ice Tea.
"I knew I'd have to tell you this sooner or later... the reason Sonic didn't return is..." he paused and then looking Amy straight in the eye he told her everything. Trying not to leave a single thing out but softening it enough for her so as not to completely traumatize her. As he finished Amy had tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry Amy..." he said.
Lip trembling and shoulders shaking she managed a few words. "You... I... don't believe you..." then suddenly standing up she burst into tears. "You're lying!" she yelled. "You expect me to believe that?! I hate you, Shadow the hedgehog! Never speak to me again!" then hiding her face in her hands she ran out of there.
"Amy wait!" said Shadow preparing to go after her. A firm hand on his shoulder stopped him.
"Let her be." said Turbo holding him back. "She needs time to think it over."
"She didn't believe me..." said Shadow dropping to his knees. "I was completely honest with her and the threw it back in my face."
"She loved him, Shadow. More than you can imagine. What you just said is more than she can bear at this point." he said.
Shadow still in shock turned and ran in the opposite direction from Amy. He didn't need this, if she didn't believe him. Fine!
A/N There we go! 'Nother chapter done. Tell me what you think! ^-^
