I am so confused! One review said "make it a KnuxRouge" and another said "make it a SonicRouge" I agree with both. I like both couples. But I'm not telling you who gets the girl(s).

"Shadow…"

"Maria…" Shadow whispered.

"Shadow…"

Shadow jerked up. I'm having dreams about Maria again?

"SHADOW! Finally, you wake up!" Amy said.

That's so not Maria…She is the exact opposite of Maria… Jeez… I need some morning air.

"Amy… if I leave you here… for 15-30 minutes… are you going to be okay?" Shadow asked. Please say yes… please say yes…

"Umm… sure!" Amy said.

I'm happy when you are, Shadow.

"Shadow! I forgot! Tails will be coming over to see if my ankle needs professional help…" Amy said.

Whatever…

IN STATION SQUARE…

Fresh air will do me good… just run around, Sonic… it's what you do best…

Shadow walked (WALKED) to the park. Maria always loved nature… but she also loved living… I promised that I will upkeep both promises, Maria.

Shadow kept his head down. He did not look forward. He bumped into a person. Blonde hair, blue eyes… Her appearances are equally alike to Maria's.

"Sorry… for bumping into you…" Shadow said.

The girl turned around… "It's okay!" she said.

Tails opened Shadow's front door. Wow… this house is huge…okay… up to the top, 1st door on the right.

"Hi, Tails!" Amy said.

"Where's Shadow?" Tails asked her.

"He's taking a walk… or… run… whatever." She said.

"Okay… let's see this…" Tails said.

She's beautiful. She reminds me so much of Maria…

"She's dead…" Shadow whispered to himself.

"I… I'm sorry for overhearing you… but they make androids that are similar to deceased people nowadays… I myself, am an android…" the girl said.

"Really?" Shadow asked excitedly. "What's your name?"

She smiled. "Why don't you give me your name first?" she asked sweetly.

"Shadow…" he said with a weak smile.

"Maria!" some woman called in a distance.

"That's my owner… I hope to meet you again soon… You remind me of something… sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog…" she said.

Shadow was incredibly happy. He didn't know why… but for some reason… he was just happy. Even her vocal chords match Maria's…

Sonic, however… I don't like Rouge… I don't like Rouge… I don't like Rouge…

Shadow started walking back to his house… err… mansion… He bumped into Sonic.

"You're awfully happy… why?" Sonic asked.

Shadow had a huge smile on his face. One Sonic has never seen before… Jeez… never seen him like this… he creeps me out…

"I'm just… happy." Shadow said.

"Shadow… if you liked someone… would you tell a respected friend yet rival?" Sonic asked.

"Umm… no…" Shadow said shaking his head.

Sonic sighed. "I'll never get her…" Sonic said.

"I've gotta gain enough courage to face the wrath of Amy…" Shadow said with the huge smile still stuck on his face.

"Gain enough courage… to face her… Shadow, you are a fucking genius! But how? Knuckles is always around her…" Sonic said.

Shadow gasped. "You're getting a little crush on Rouge!" Shadow said.

Sonic clasped his mouth closed. "Shut the HELL up, you MOTHERFUCKING, SON OF AN ASSHOLE BITCH!" Sonic said furiously.

"Whatever… I gotta get home and take care of Amy…" Shadow said.

"Oh… so now you care for her…" Sonic said with a smirk.

Shadow lost his smile. "No… I am caring for her… because of your lazy ass…" Shadow said. He kicked Sonic in the-

Sonic- Sorry for the interruption… But this is only rated T

Shadow- Just say it… I am inferior to you…

Sonic- What the HELL are you talking about? You kicked me in the balls! Anyone can lose if you do that… Even Knuckles can!

Shadow- Whatever… back to the story…

Shadow returned to smiling and left Sonic on the floor aching in pain.

Sonic- Sorry to bother again… Kai-Senpai wants you to know… she tried this on her guy friend once.

Shadow- The dude hit the ground faster than I can run after a girl who looks like… Maria… my Maria… my-

Sonic-Sorry for all the trubble… back to the story… no more comments…

Shadow- Until we get to the end.

Back to Shadow's hou- err… mansion…

"Ha… ha… really? That's funny, Amy" Tails told her truthfully.

Her nice self is… well… nice… I know I can think of better synonyms than that! I knew that love messed with your brain… I can't love Amy… she's 5 years older… but then again… she just told me that she loved Shadow… who I believe is only 5 years older than her… of course, Shadow has a better chance… at least… I think so… You know what… I think I should… tell her… I'm brave enough… aren't I?

Shadow was walking home… right in front of his house, about 25 G.U.N. robots surrounded him. I thought that they were supposed to take care of this…here goes nothing…

Shadow took out both his gun and his Chaos Emerald. He shot down at least 6 or 7. They all grouped up against him. He kept shooting them. Shit! Out of bullets!

"Chao-" he was stopped when one of the G.U.N. robots beat him down to the floor. He dropped the emerald and it rolled away from him. "No! I can't die!" Shadow said.

The G.U.N. robots started charging up their lasers. One of the robots had their metallic foot on one of Shadow's arms. It was crushing his left arm. The pain felt so bad that he started blacking out. He did remember one thing… the robots were only charging up… They'll get stronger.

Sonic- Ooh… will Shadow die? I hope he does… especially when he left me there in pain because he kicked me…

Shadow- You're still worrying about that?

Sonic-That hurt!

Shadow- Idiot…
