A Shadow Feels

Amy had been a lot stronger than any of the Sonic group thought, so even if she was a little out of shape, she picked up Shadow, slung him over her shoulder and proceeded to carry him back to her apartment, the better part of the journey was pretty tough on Amy, because Shadow was no light-weight, she took her mind of the weight by talking to Shadow, telling him that he would be alright, and about her apartment, and how Sonic was. When she got home, with little or no ceremony she plopped him on the couch, and got a blanket to cover him with, she covered him up and looked down on him, and without realizing it, a tear fell down her face. As she was about to walk off Shadow's eyes snapped open and his hand shot out and grabbed her arm, she gasped and all of a sudden Shadow croaked out,

"Who am I?" Amy was so frightened that at first she didn't answer, she just stared at him gasping for breath and then she reached out and answered,

"Oh Shadow, don't you remember?" she stroked his face and he slowly leaned back, and closed his eyes, and fell asleep. Amy felt the fatigue of the day hit her, and almost without thinking she leaned down beside Shadow, and fell asleep.

In the morning, Amy slowly opened her eyes, and thought, why am I on the couch? she felt a warm body behind her, and froze, oh god, I got drunk and slept with a guy I don't know!. But then her memories came rushing back and she felt a little better, but not by much because she knew what she would have to do, she would have to talk to Sonic, and she had barely said three sentences to him in the last 6 months. It had started after the Ark incident, slowly but steadily; Sonic fell into a deep depression over Shadow's "death". After a little while Sonic asked Amy to just leave him alone, he said that she was his friend, and that he cared about her, but they couldn't ever be together.

Amy understood, so she stopped talking to him, they saw each other occasionally, but not very often

So unless Sonic came along and knocked on her door and told her that he was an idiot, she would have to call him. Amy smiled, A girl can dream, she thought.

As Shadow awoke his first thought was, something smells good, then panic set in and he wondered, Where am I, Who am I, and why can't remember anything? Shadow realized very quickly that he had not lost all memory, he knew 10x7=70 and all the other facts of life that a normal person should know, but around memories that involved friends, family, or his own name he couldn't remember, like he hadn't thought about it for a long time and had forgotten. "Who am I?" he voiced aloud. All of a sudden Amy appeared around the corner.

"Shadow, are you okay?"

"Shadow? Is that my name? What's your name? Where are we?"

"Shadow, don't you remember anything? Its me Amy, Sonic's friend."

"Who's Sonic?"

At that remark Amy smiled and looked at Shadow, and started laughing.

"Boy, you are going to be a trip."

"I'm sorry miss." Shadow said with a frown and a sad look on his face.

Amy looked at him and thought He's so different from Sonic, he isn't so cocky, and he still has a lot of self-confidence, but like Sonic he's really good looking. What am I thinking! Amy shook her head, as if that would help clear the thoughts running in her head

"Come on Shadow, lets have breakfast, and I'll try to tell you what we know about you."

In the kitchen Amy was explaining everything that had happened to Shadow that she knew about, which was actually a lot, after the fact she had looked up every thing she could, hoping to find something to help Sonic, but nothing did. Except this. Right now Shadow was looking at his eggs and bacon, hardly touching them,

"There's no way miss Amy that I helped save the world."

"Shadow, just call me Amy, and I have proof."

"Proof? How Amy?"

"Lets just say that I am going to call in a favor, okay?"

"Okay."

"Now, I have to go to work, you just stay here, watch TV, and try to remember, anything."

"Kay Amy."

The rest of Shadows day was pretty uneventful till he was on the couch at 2:00, bushed, because he thought he could do Amy a favor by cleaning her apartment, he had found the cleaning supplies at around nine when Amy left, but at the time he hadn't realized how BIG an apartment it was, it had 3 bedroom 3 bathrooms with a kitchen, living room, dining room, and a T.V. and game room. So it had taken him the better part of the day to clean it all to perfection, but he knew Amy would be happy. The a popular talk show came on (You know, something like Oprah, Montel, Maury stuff like that.) a black dog women came on and said

"Now our first guest is a young girl named Maria."

The rest of the world meant nothing to Shadow at that moment, because he thought, I know that name. He just couldn't remember where from, Shadow thought he knew at least, and that moment he dropped off into a fitful sleep....
