(A/N: Omgg, I am so very very very sorry! I have had a load of work to do, and I started a new job so I've been all over the place, but with a firmly placed kick by Chaos Shock I am focused again. Well on this one anyway, In Loving Memory has just kind of sank to the back of my mind, as has Rare Affection. Now, hopefully, after this chapter I can get my ass back in gear with those two. Thankyou all for your patience)

Chapter Eight
Amy smiled at this new hedgehog, she'd never seen him before in her life, but somehow he seemed familiar to her, Greg smiled back charmingly. Amy couldn't help but think how attractive that smile looked on him
"Only soup for one?" He asked, surprise written clearly on his face. The rose hedgehog's face flushed in embarrassment "I would have thought a pretty girl like you would have a guy sitting at home waiting for you"
"Yeah, well. I don't" Amy stated, walking away from the purple hedgehog
"Hey wait," Greg shouted after her. Amy turned her head to face him "I didn't mean to offend you," Amy gave him a smile before she shook her head. And carried on walking. She turned her head to the side and saw that Greg had caught up with her. Amy was confused to why he was so interested in her, no one had ever made an effort to know her before, so this was all a new feeling for her. The crystalline eyes of the purple hedgehog caught her attention again, they were so clear, Amy almost drowned in them. Greg gave her a toothy smile and she couldn't help the smile that crossed her lips in return. This hedgehog was like gods send to the pink hedgehog, maybe now she would truly be able to get over Sonic. She knew Shadow wouldn't approve of her choice, but she would take his criticism with a pinch of salt; as you had to with the dark hedgehog anyway. The rose hedgehog kept walking up and down the aisles, looking for things she could easily cook for just herself and maybe for Shadow, who sometimes accompanied her. Her mind drifted to the ruby eyed hedgehog, she couldn't believe that he had taken to her like a moth to a flame, not like any of the others; she supposed it was because she had pushed herself relentlessly at him, and he had come to accept her for her. She sighed and looked back at the purple hedgehog beside her, Greg wasn't Shadow; how was she going to get him to like her and not scare him off? Picking up some pasta, she stole a quick glance at the hedgehog besides her "I've seen you somewhere before" The pink hedgehog gave him a confused look
"Maybe you've seen me about in Westopolis?" She said offhandedly. Greg shook his head and put his hand to his chin in thought.
"The TV!" He said clicking his fingers. Amy rose an eyebrow to him "You were with a black hedgehog, watching a blue hedgehog"
"Oh you mean Sonic and Shadow," She beamed "Shadow is my best friend"
"What about Sonic?" Greg mentioned, earning a glare from the rose hedgehog
"Sonic is an ass" She growled. Greg frowned, If Sonic and Shadow were as close to this rose hedgehog as his boss said they were; his mission would be easy, but since the rose hedgehog didn't like the cobalt hedgehog, it was going to make his job a lot harder.

Shadow glared at the orange fox in front of him, he couldn't believe he needed the assistance of a child. His ruby eyes scrutinized every idea the little fox scribbled down; nothing looked, to him, like it would work. What they really needed was to be locked in a cupboard, well, that was Shadow's thoughts; but the fox boy voiced his own objections saying they'd kill each other or something. The onyx hedgehog couldn't see why she didn't kill him in the first place, he had caused her so much pain over the years and Shadow knew that if anyone could still get the two together, it was Tails and himself. Shadow grunted when the orange genius looked up at him
"You know Shadow. I think there is only one way to sort this out," Tails looked at the ebon hedgehog for any reaction, upon not getting one he turned back to the scribbles in front of him "Shadow, are you sure this is a good idea?"
"Positive," the hedgehog snorted in response, making the fox' ears fold back against his head "I don not repeat myself fox boy. You know it will make them happier; so just do it" Shadow knew that doing this for the rose hedgehog was for the best, but he could feel his heart slowly breaking, What Sonic was about to tell the pink one was true; he deeply cared for her. Upon his first encounter with the pink hedgehog on the ARK, he knew he had seen something about her, which no one else had. She had begged for him to help the planet and ever since then, she had grown on him; but the situation he was currently in... It actually hurt him. Glaring at the fox, who cowered in fear under the intensity of the hedgehog's gaze he turned and started to walk away from the confusion of what to do.
"Where are you going?" Tails' confused voice stopped him in his tracks
"Away. I won't be back for some time. Tell Amy I'm sorry and tell the faker what you wish"
"But Shadow..." The fox ran towards the figure with his hand out towards him, with one disgusted look from a ruby eye he stopped and dropped his hand "Amy will be disappointed in you Shadow" The onyx hedgehog clenched his hands shut and his fists shook with rage before he turned his fiery eyes to his rival's best friend
"Disappointed?" He roared "You don't know what I feel for her! Seeing her hurt is tearing me apart! You have no idea"
"I know how you feel about her Shadow," Tails said calmly "It's obvious," Shadow shook with rage in front of the fox, who stood calmly. "Understand Shadow, that she is going to need you. If you walk away now she may never forgive you" Tails studied the black hedgehog as he stood there, chaos energy now shot out from his body as he tried to regain control. The energy lashed out at a couple of chairs and they fell apart. Shadow ran to Tails' metal work bench and began punching it; Tails was too shocked to say anything to the peeved hedgehog. Beating the metal, Shadow started to calm down; blood ran down his fists onto the table from the force of him whacking the surface. Looking at the twisted metal on the floor, then at his bloodied hands. Tails walked over to him and slowly patted his arm; Shadow let the fox comfort him before he hit his hand away.
"I refuse to sit here and doodle. I'm going to find the impostor" Before Tails could even object, Shadow was out of the door and running towards Westopolis.

Sonic knew something was wrong when he saw a dust trail headed towards him. He knew the trail was the dark hedgehog, but why he was running so fast was anyone's guess. Sonic finished eating the chilli dog in his hand and stood to meet his rival. When Shadow had stopped in front of him, Sonic could only gawp at Shadow's hands. He knew the other hedgehog had changed, but he couldn't help the thought of the blood being Tails'. Before he could open his mouth to speak, Shadow had his hand wrapped round his throat
"You listen to me," Shadow snarled "You need to sort out this mess with Amy. I will not be a part of this any longer" Sonic sighed and nodded. The ebon hedgehog let him go and the blue hedgehog fell to the ground
"You coulda just said Shadow," Sonic complained rubbing his sore neck "You didn't need to try and strangle me"
"I'm afraid there was every need" Shadow scoffed, Sonic's emerald orbs travelled to Shadow's hands again
"What happened?" He asked, making Shadow look down at his own bloodied hands
"Nothing," He lied Sonic gave the onyx blur a disbelieving look before he shrugged. Shadow looked over the blue blurs shoulder and frowned "Who's Amy with?" Sonic turned and his eyes stared in confusion
"I don't know," He replied, turning back to the other hedgehog "Shall we go and speak to her?"
"No need," the raven hedgehog responded earning a puzzled look from the other hedgehog "She's seen us" The blue blur turned and stared at the waving pink hedgehog, who was calling Shadow's name and not his.
When the pink hedgehog had reached the two heroes, all they could do was stare at the purple male behind Amy.
"Guys, this is Greg," Amy smiled at the three males "Shadow, Sonic, this is Greg," Crimson and emerald orbs glared at the newcomer. Who smirked evilly at the two, making the heroes glare harder. Amy, stared at the three males for a moment before she sighed, testosterone was thick in the air and she was choking in it "I'm going to get a drink, you guys chat" As Amy walked off, Greg watched after her
"It's a shame," He started looking back at the two other hedgehogs "She's such a pretty little thing"
"What do you mean by that?" Shadow growled, Sonic nodded in agreement
"Well, it's such a pity when she's going to die..."
