Chapter 13

About 20 minutes after leaving the field, Tails and Amy arrived at the local hospital, with Shadow. He was rushed in and quickly allocated a bed. A doctor had looked him over and recommended that Shadow stayed for a night or two, just to monitor him and be safe.

A while later, Tails went to and get drinks for himself and Amy. Shadow had fallen asleep so Amy felt a bit alone.

Amy felt that she and Shadow had a bit of a connection. She was, however, a bit confused about her feelings for him; wether or not she liked him as much as she did Sonic. She'd felt this way since the ARK incident, when she persuaded Shadow to help the others. She liked to think through that memory, like Shadow did with his.


Amy was walking down one of the many corridors in the colony ARK. She was annoyed at how Sonic had left her behind, again, to get to the core of the colony.

"I hate it how he always leaves me behind!" she yelled to herself. She walked passed an open door. Pushed by curiosity, she looked in and saw Shadow looking out of a window at the Earth. She gasped a little, not expecting to see anyone there. She began to think and her childish whiney side went away.

"I should really stop whining. Everyone's doing what they can to help out and so must I!" she thought and walked into the room toward Shadow. She stopped just behind him.

"Shadow?" she asked. No reply.
"Shadow please. We need your help!"
"There's no way to save anyone," he said unexpectantly. "There's no reason for me to help."
"But there has to be!" Amy replied. Again, Shadow didn't answer. Amy sighed and walked forward, so that she was now right next to Shadow.

"Shadow I know that people fight over the most stupid things. They can be selfish, mean and other bad things. But they can also be good. People live to be happy. Saving them is a good thing!"

Shadow continued to look at the Earth. Amy was on the verge of tears. She fell to her knees in desperation. Shadow looked at her, in slight surprise.

"Shadow I beg you! Please do it for them! Give them a chance!"

Shadow gasped. She didn't know how but Amy had finally managed to get through to him. She saw a tear fall from Shadow's eyes.

"Sh..Shadow?" she said shakily, amongst her own tears. Shadow held out his hand to her. She took it and he helped her to her feet. They stood there, facing each other. Shadow held Amy's hands in his. After a short pause, he finally spoke.

"I gotta go now. I have to keep my promise to Maria..and you."

He let go of Amy's hands and walked toward the door. He stopped, as he reached the door, and turned to Amy.

"Thank you Amy." He said, with a smile, and sped off.
