Hey guys, I'm here with another song-fic of my favorite Sonic The Hedgehog pairing! I would like to give a huge thanks to Drium Yrvak for the review. You are one of my favorite authers & I am simply honored that you enjoyed my story. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! & I want to give an equelly big thanks to Warior & Rydia the dark angel for your reviews as well! & a side note to Warior: I really like your suggestion for a song (the song is called "The Reason" by the way.) & I will be using it soon! I would really like to see more suggestions, but not just for songs, for pairings &-or characters as well. For example: Song-fic for KnucklesRouge, TailsCream, EspioRouge (I would like EspioRouge better than KnucklesRouge, but I could go either way).

(As usual, the Characters belong to SEGA, & the song belongs to whoever wrote it.)

a few hours after the incident in Station Square, after everyone had gathered at Tails' workshop, Sonic decided to have a talk with Amy about her "relationship" with Shadow. It wasn't that he didn't appreciate the brake from Amy's attention; it was just that he didn't know if Amy had really realized what she had gotten herself into.

"Amy," He said. "You have to realize that, no matter how much he's helped us in the past, Shadow is bad news."

"You're only saying that because you don't like him." Amy replied. "You've never taken the time to get to know the real Shadow like I have."

"The 'real Shadow' almost blew up the earth with Eggman, remember?"

"But he helped save the world instead. Twice! & he has saved me several times."

"That isn't the point Amy. The point is that he's a loose canon. Who knows when he could lose it?"

"& besides," Tails added. "Shadow has several enemies. G.U.N., Dr. Eggman, & who knows who else? If any of these enemies were to find out about you, you could be put in danger." Knuckles nodded in agreement.

"So you see Amy," Sonic continued. "You & Shadow could never be together. You might as well just forget about him. After all, if you got over your crush on me, you'll get over your crush on Shadow too."

"Shut up Sonic!!" Everyone was shocked to hear Amy yell like that… & at Sonic too! "Just shut up! You don't know what you're talking about! What I feel for Shadow isn't a crush! & if you could get over yourself long enough to actually care about someone, you might be able to see that!"

Amy ran out the door before anyone could say anything. Sonic thought about going after her, but realized that she was too mad to listen to him. He hated himself for being so thoughtless about her feelings. He may not have loved Amy like a girlfriend, but she was still one of his best friends.

Amy ran as far as her legs could carry her, until she made her way deep into the jungle. She fell to her knees & cried, not knowing what to do or where to turn. She felt bad about yelling at Sonic, but still felt angry at him for what he'd said. She wished she had someone to talk to who could understand what she was going through, but she knew that there was no one around who would understand. Or, that's what she thought. What she hadn't realized was that Shadow spent most of his time here in the jungle, & it was Shadow that found her crying.

"Amy?" He said, as he stood next to her. "What are you doing here? What's wrong?"

Amy looked up to see the black & red hedgehog she loved & immediately stood up to talk to him face-to-face.

"Oh Shadow," She said, her tears rolling down her cheeks. "I'm just so confused. Sonic & the others say that we could never be together, & you say that it would be too dangerous for us to be together, but my heart tells me that I can't live without you. I just can't figure it out. How can we go on like this, with you always gone & me left to wait till I'm in some kind of danger to see you."

"…Amy…"

"Shadow, I just don't want to be alone anymore… I don't want to be alone."

Amy closed her eyes to try & block out the tears, but they still flowed freely. Shadow could see the pain Amy was feeling, & knew she was right. He took her hand in his & pulled her close, he held her tightly as he whispered in her ear, "It'll be all right Amy."

Come stop your crying

It will be all right

Just take my hand hold it tight

"How will it be alright Shadow?" She sobbed. "What if we never can be together? What if something happens?"

"Don't worry," He said softly. "I will never let anything happen to you. & I promise I will always come back to you."

I will protect you

From all around you

I will be here

Don't you cry

He held her in his arms & stroked her hair. She looked up at him & managed to smile. Shadow looked into her soft green eyes as he wiped the tears from her face. It was strange to think that this delicate little rose was so brave. But she was nonetheless, & Shadow loved her all the more for it.

For one so small,

You seem so strong

My arms will hold you,

Keep you safe and warm

Amy felt better with Shadow near. She just wished she could be close to him all the time. "Shadow?" She asked. "What am I supposed to do without you? We're together now, but what about when you leave again? I miss you so much when you're gone."

"I know," He replied. "I miss you too. But even when we're not together, we're not alone. I will always be with you."

This bond between us

Can't be broken

I will be here

Don't you cry

"As long as I live," Shadow continued. "You will always be with me, in here." He placed Amy's hand on his heart. She felt the soft beat of his heart, & noticed that its beat matched hers almost perfectly. She closed her eyes & laid her head on his shoulder, while she felt the rhythm of their two hearts beating as one.

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on

Now and forever more

"Shadow," She said softly. "Do you think we'll ever be able to live our lives together, without having to worry about each other's safety?"

"I hope so Amy… but till that day, just remember that we're always together."

You'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be here in my heart, always

Amy remembered what Sonic had said about her only having a crush on Shadow, & knew now more than ever that he was wrong. What she felt now, couldn't be anything but love. She & Shadow may have been different on the outside, but on the inside, they were exactly alike.

Why can't they understand

The way we feel?

They just don't trust

What they can't explain

I know we're different but,

Deep inside us

We're not that different at all

They held each other tighter, each feeling like they were the only two people in the world. Shadow wished he could use his Chaos Control to freeze time & stay here with Amy for all time. He slowly let go of her & took a step back, & then he looked deep into her eyes.

And you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on

Now and forever more

"Amy," He said. "I will always be there for you."

"But what about Sonic?" she asked. "He & the others still don't think we should be together."

"It doesn't matter what they think. We need each other, no matter what others may say. Maybe someday they'll understand."

Don't listen to them

'Cause what do they know?

We need each other,

To have, to hold

They'll see in time

I know

"I have to go now," he continued. "& you should go home where it's safe. But don't worry; we'll see each other again."

"I know we will." She replied. "& until then, I will have you in my heart, no matter what Sonic or anyone else may say. They'll see someday, just what we mean to each other." Shadow smiled, & Amy turned to walk back towards Tails' workshop.

When destiny calls you

You must be strong

I may not be with you

But you've got to hold on

They'll see in time

I know

We'll show them together

Amy hadn't walked two feet, when she turned around & kissed Shadow like she'd never kissed before. It took a few minutes before they let go of each other again, but when they finally did Amy felt better than she had in a long time. Amy walked back to the workshop in a very happy mood. She didn't know what Sonic would say or what she would do, but she knew that none of that mattered now, because she had Shadow in her heart to help her through anything.

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on,

Now and forever more

Shadow watched Amy leave, & when she was no longer in sight, he looked up at the stars. Just a few weeks ago he had felt very lonesome looking at them, but now he felt happier than he had felt in years. & it was all thanks to Amy, the bravest pink hedgehog girl he had ever known.

Oh, you'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be in my heart, always

Always

I am SOOOO sorry for the way Shadow is OOC & for the sappiness of these song-fics, it's just that I don't see as much ShadAmy fluff as I would like & this is my way of expressing my love of the pairing. Please review with suggestions for other character based song-fics (even I need a break from ShadAmy fluff every now & again.) I have resloved not to write the next chapter till I get some reviews, so get to writin' those comments please!
