Yay! Now that I'm on chapter 8, I'm seriously happy and hyper! In this chapter… we focus on Shadow and his problem… Amy.

Uggh… I guess she'll have to stay here until I 'heal' but… she can be some use… maybe I can get her to clean, cook or even… err… never mind. Well, Shadow… look on the bright side… 34 more hours… I just hope she doesn't get too attached to this place… Wow… look at the moon… it reminds me of… Maria… oh, Maria… I've been feeling like I don't belong with anyone… ever since you… well…

The doorbell rang. Shadow sighed and started for the door. I'm just glad that Amy is asleep… she is so annoying… but who goes to sleep at 9:00 pm? She's burning precious moonlight.

Shadow opened the door and was still thinking about things. He did not notice who it was at the door. "Yes?" he asked.

"Shadow the Hedgehog? Remember me from the park?"

Shadow looked up. He nodded, too speechless to talk.

"I'd like to answer your question now." The blonde girl said with a smile.

Amy…

Jeez… Shadow can talk to himself pretty loudly… wait… Is that a girl's voice?

Shadow…

"So… what is it?" Shadow asked eagerly.

"Well, I came here because this person has a lot of memories of you, Shadow…"

"Okay… but… your name…"

"Maria Robotnik…"

Amy…

"No way… I thought Shadow said that she died 50 years ago…" Amy said to herself.

She walked down the stairs. Am I jealous? No… I wuv my Sonikku… but I haven't seen Sonic in a long time… I think… 2 days ago…It was because I was too busy taking… care… of Shadow… I don't like Shadow! Do I?

"Well, I thought… that since this person has many fond memories of you… you must too… so I thought maybe I can stay h-"

"Look… I'm sorry… but… being with you will just make me worse… it'll just make me realize that Maria is already dead… and… I now realized that I feel pathetic for thinking about this… I can't love a robot…(although he is one.)" Shadow said.

"I'm sorry you feel that way. But I am sure, wherever Maria is now… I'm sure you made her happy by saying that." She said.

Shadow opened the front door and she went back out. He sighed. He turned around to find Amy Rose…

"Are you okay, Shadow?" she asked politely.

Wherever Maria is now… rang in Shadow's head.

I know where Maria is… I know where her soul lays… I am looking straight at her…

"Amy…"

"Yes?" she asked with a smile.

"I love you."

Wow! Short, sweet, and sooo romantic! (In my opinion…)
