Chapter twelve-

Amy was just lofting around her house, thinking about Shadow and

Rouge, until a loud knock interrupted her train of thought. It was Rouge,

and she looked pissed. "What is your problem??" she yelled. "I love and I

tell him and I comfort and he still loves you more than me!!" Amy was in

shock. Was she talking about Shadow? Or… Knuckles? Rouge was

crying loudly, and she could barely hear herself think. "What do you have

that I don't have?? Shadow loves you more than me…." Rouge yelled.

"Shadow… loves… me?" Amy stammered. "What?? Are you deaf? So just

go get him before I do……" More crying. Amy got her things and headed

out the door. She began to run to Shadow's apartment. She opened the

door without knocking. He wasn't there. So she ran to Sonic's. Not there.

So she sped full-out to Tails' house. There he was, looking frustrated and

tired. She ran through the door, past Tails, and kissed Shadow. "Wha-

what are you doing here?" Shadow asked. "I love you… and I'm so sorry

for everything I've put you through." "It doesn't matter," Shadow simply

replied. So after a reunion, they went back to Shadow's apartment. Before

they entered, though, Shadow held Amy's hand and said, "I'm never

letting you go, no matter what." And she looked into his eyes, and knew

he meant it. They kissed again, just as Sonic was passing by. "HEY! What

do you think you're doing??" Sonic yelled. "I love him." Amy replied. And

they shut the door in Sonic's face.
