Thanx for the suggestion, metaldragon75767 I loved it!

"Bye bye, Sonic… I just can't take your word for it…" Knuckles said.

Knuckles's grip loosened. Sonic gasped. Oh no… I'm prepared to beg… "Knuckles… please… put me down!" Sonic said.

"Oh, I'll put you down, alright." Knuckles said.

Knuckles let go of Sonic. Oh shit… I can't swim… what's going to happen to me?

Sonic closed his eyes. He landed on something… he opened his eyes. A white, teenage bat was holding him. I can't believe this… I'm actually in Rouge's arms…

"Are you okay? A short swim?" she asked with a smile.

Sonic blushed. He knew that Rouge knew that he could not swim.

Rouge flew him back on top of Angel Island.

What the hell? Why is he with Rouge? Shit… he's not with her or anything, is he? Rouge may have just saved him. Please… don't tell me that she's in love with him for real. I can't live like that…grr… I'm settling this once and for all!

Knuckles walked over to Sonic and Rouge. "Knuckles… did you… push Sonic or something?" she asked.

"What makes you think I did that?" Knuckles asked.

Sonic was too shocked to realize what was going on.

"Well… Sonic wouldn't want to commit suicide or anything… and… you are the only other person here…" Rouge said.

"But I wouldn't…" Knuckles said innocently.

Rouge looked at Knuckles. "You are such a liar… but… I love that about you!"

Amy and Shadow…

Just 12 more hours… that's tonight… but… some part of me… still wants her to stay… forget about her getting attached to my place… how about me getting attached to her? That isn't possible… the Ultimate Life cannot love…

Shadow, give them a chance to be happy…sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog… rang through his head.

If I make a complicated emotion like love stay inside… it'll just mess me up… I might be obsessed or… a stalker! I can't do those things! I have to stay calm.

(A/N He already told her that he loved her… now he's trying to tell himself that he doesn't… so sad.)

I just can't…I want to know what this strange emotion is… I want to know if I really love her… I need to know… do I love her? Yes, I want her to be happy… but her being happy… does it have any consequences for me?

"Shadow… are you okay? You seem really deep in thought…" Amy said.

Shadow shook his head. "Err… wha-? I'm fine…" he said.

I don't want her to go! I love her! I do! I admitted it to her, and myself! I want her! I need her! I have to tell her… but I just can't…

"Amy… umm… do you… want to… spend time… together?" Shadow asked.

Amy's eyes brightened with happiness. She gasped. "Of course!" she said.

Just 12 hours? I'll turn them into the 12 hours she would never forget…

Later…

"Oh, wow, Shadow! This is such a cute chao! Thank you, so much!" Amy said.

Shadow simply nodded for a reply.

"Wow, Shadow! You're so nice!" Amy said.

Amy hugged him… while on Station Square streets.

Amy held the pink chao in one arm. She cuddled it. "You're so adorable!" Amy said.

Shadow looked around. I hope no one sees me…

"Shadow? Are you embarrassed to be seen with me, or something?" Amy asked.

Shadow's head jerked up. "N-n-no… not at all…" he lied.

Yes, I love you… Yes, I am embarrassed to be seen with you…

"Amy… how about a quiet walk in the park?" Shadow asked.

"Sure!" Amy said happily.
