"Shadow… Please promise me… please help them down there…"
Maria…"Shadow!" a familiar, yet annoying voice said.
Shadow's flashback ended and he snapped back into reality.
"Shadow… Please… you're the only one who can…"
"Rose?" Shadow asked surprisingly.
I seriously thought that she was… Maria…
"Shadow! If you aren't going to help them… then I will!" Amy said bravely. Amy looked down the roof that she and Shadow were on. G.U.N. robots circled Knuckles, Rouge, and most important to her… Sonic.
"Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog." Amy said.
Shadow's head jerked up. He grabbed onto her arm. "Don't go, Maria." He said (in the most stupid way possible)
"Maria? Don't tell me that you're fantasizing about her again… don't forget… one thing… SHE'S DEAD!" Amy said.
Shadow got angry… more than that… he's furious!
"I'll do it… but not for you… but because of the promise I gave Maria." Shadow said respectfully.
Shadow jumped down the 30-story building and landed safely on his feet. He took his gun out. He shot every G.U.N. robot in eye's sight.
The three gave a sigh of relief…
"Thanks, Shadow… I owe you one…" Sonic said.
"How about the other times you said that because I saved your ass?" Shadow asked.
Sonic chuckled. "Umm… yeah… so… you still remember all that..?" Sonic asked.
Everyone heard a scream coming from above. Amy was falling down. Since Shadow was the closest… he figured he should catch her… Since Sonic was her hero… he figured he would catch her.
Both the hedgehogs attempted to catch her but both hit their heads on each other. Amy landed on both of the hedgehogs…
"Gee… thanks for catching me, you guys… but… ow… my ankle…" Amy said.
Rouge took a look at it. "You twisted it… Jeez… I can't take you to my house… my annoying sis is there… so… since both of the hogs were so eager to catch you…"
"One of these lucky boys are taking you home, Amy!" Knuckles said with a smirk.
Sonic shook his head really fast. "Well, Shadow… you gotta take care of her until she heals!" Rouge said.
"Nu-uh! I want Sonic to take me home!" Amy said.
"Sorry, Amy… no can do… er… I'm staying with my bro, Boom!" he said.
"Oh yeah… The best bros ever… Sonic and Boom…" Knuckles said sarcastically. He knew very well that Sonic despised Boom.
Shadow gave a sigh of defeat. "Fine… I give up… I'm always busy anyway… Like I'd have enough time to spend with you…" he said.
"Oh! But you will! You see… me and Knuckles will help you guys so you can help Amy out 24/7!" Rouge said.
"Yeah! Me, Sonic and Rouge'll handle it!" Knuckles said.
"I loathe all of you." Shadow said.
He picked Amy up and started running full speed toward his house.
"Wait… what if… we need Shadow's help… like just two seconds ago?" Sonic asked.
At Shadow's house… er… mansion
"Wow! Shadow! Your house is huge!" Amy said.
"Err… yeah…" he said.
A FEW MINUTES LATER…
"Okay… here are crutches… you probably know how to use them…" Shadow said.
"Umm… actually… I don't." Amy admitted.
"Grr…" Thanks a lot you guys! You really took a lot off my shoulders! He grabbed Amy's hands and showed her.
What was that? I felt weird when he touched me…"I'll show you to your room…" Shadow said.
He opened a door that was downstairs. "It's downstairs so you don't need to go on the elevator all the time…" Shadow said.
"Elevator?" Amy asked.
"Whatever…" he said to her.
"Shadow… I just wanna learn more about you…" Amy said.
He sighed. "Fine… But after your ankle heals… it's like we never met!" Shadow said.
"You know what that means?.." Amy asked him…
Shadow sighed boredly. "No… I do not know what it means…" he said monotonously.
"Slumber Party!" Amy yelled.
"Wha-?" Shadow asked.
"Show me where your room is!" Amy said happily.
I know this is weird… but her green eyes remind me of Maria's… so does her happy, considerate personality.
"So… are you showing me where it is or not?" she asked.
