Amy Rose sighed as she sat down on the bench. It was almost night time now, and they still hadn't found Gemel's book.
She looked up. The only ones still looking were Gemel and Cream. She was resting, and Shadow and Emerl were sparring. Amy grinned when she looked up to see Shadow and Emerl overhead. Bouncing off trees, using their Chaos Emerald enhanced abilities, they probably could defeat Sonic…
Amy laughed before berating herself. At first, Sonic was invincible, but… No, Shadow could probably beat him. Sonic was too busy being a hero to actually train. He believed he didn't need to train.
"Which he doesn't… Right?" muttered Amy.
Amy sighed and walked over to Gemel and Cream.
"Any luck guys?" questioned the pink hedgehog. Cream shook her head.
"No…" Cream smiled reassuringly at Gemel, who let out a wail.
"I WILL FIND YOU!" yelled Gemel, running into the woods.
"Wait Gemel, I'll come too!" added Cream, running after him. Amy was about to follow when Shadow crashed to the ground in front of her.
"You all right?" asked Amy, offering Shadow a hand. He took it and brushed himself off, looking away from Amy's face.
"Yes… Now then, I have wasted enough time. I'll help them find the book so I can go home…" Shadow let out a small yawn and walked towards Gemel and Cream. The former was trying to see if it had gotten under a tree, and the latter was trying to stop him. Amy laughed as Emerl landed next to her.
"Hi mom!" exclaimed Emerl happily. "Didja see that hit? Maybe I'll be able to beat Shadow with my own skills someday… And not the copied ones…"
Emerl would have been smiling had he had a mouth. Amy was about to reply when he pointed.
"Gemel! Put that tree down!" yelled Cream. Amy laughed and she and Emerl ran over.
'… She's so beautiful…' thought Shadow as Amy ran towards him, Cream, and Gemel, the sunlight behind the smiling Amy. He shook his head and turned back to the situation at hand. His eyes widened. "What are you doing?"
Gemel tilted his head.
"Well, if it wasn't under that tree, maybe it's under this one!" explained Gemel as he ripped another tree from the ground.
"What did the trees do to you?" exclaimed Cream. "Gemel, I don't think your book is here…"
Gemel pouted.
"But… I want to read my book!" Gemel kicked another tree, leaving a dent, and stalked off in another direction. Shadow crossed his arms and followed.
'Chaos Emeralds, I could understand. Money, I could understand. But…'
Shadow stared as Gemel yelled at an elderly bat.
'All this over a stupid book?'
