Amy woke. She looked around her little hiding space. She stuck her head out and looked outside. It was a beautiful day, but she did care. It just made it harder for her to hide. She didn't see the hedgehogs, so she just stepped out of hiding. She stretched and checked again that there was nobody near her. She felt no presence near her and she was exhausted. She grabbed her stuff and started to leave the area. She couldn't really run, but she could walk. She walked away from the tree. She looked back and walked back to it. She took out her knife and started to carve into the tree. She finished after a minute and started to leave again. It read:

My weeping tree,

Hold me tight.

My weeping tree,

Take away the fright.

My weeping tree,

Not one to take.

My weeping tree,

Keep away the heartbreak.

Amy looked at the coast and sighed, shouldering her bag. She looked up at the train station. She sighed and started up the steps to the train. She was going to Station Square. She got on the train and sighed, putting on her cloak and pulling on the hood. She left the front open for people to see her still. Amy sighed and slept as the train started to leave.

The others had just woken up. Sonic, Shadow, and Silver just grabbed an apple or an orange and headed out the door. They still searched for Amy and they felt that they would get closer today. They headed to the place that the smelled Amy's tears. They were there in a couple of seconds and they found the tree had writing on it. They all read it and Shadow let out a frustrated growl. They still had no fucking idea where she was this time. Sonic sighed unhappily and looked up at the leaving train. He thought that he saw a hit of pick on the fast moving train and jumped on the train. He ran after it and found a black cloaked hedgehog. It was a pink female with pink quills. He stopped and ran back to the guys.

"HEY! SHE'S HEADED TO STATION SQUARE!!" he yelled.

Shadow and Silver jumped on the track too and started to run. They took off after the train, but stayed out of view of the train. As it started to slow down when it came to Station Square, they jumped off the tracks and landed in an alley that was dark. It covered them and they waited for Amy to come out. Amy woke up when she felt the train stop. She sighed and got out of the train car. She walked down the steps and looked around. After over 20 years, it still looked the same. She sighed and walked out of the train station. She looked around to make sure that there was an escape route if she needed one. She then turned and started to walk to the clothes shop. She sighed as she looked through the stuff. She eventually found some stuff that was clean and better than the ripped stuff that she wore now and left to find a place to change. They hedgehogs followed her from the rooftops, escaping detection from her. Amy entered the hotel and walked to the bathroom. She changed and threw out her old clothes. She walked out with a black long sleeve shirt with a faint rose on the front and long flares jeans. She walked out of bathroom and out of the hotel, wondering what to do next. The hedgehogs looked down at her, wanting to grab her. They decided just to see what she would do the entire day so that they have a future reference for where she could be. She looked up and they hedgehogs hid as fast as they can. She saw the multiple colors and knew who they were.

'SHIT! They're here!?' she said in her mind.

'Run, run, run! Don't trust them! Don't believe them!' screamed back the original soul of the mind.

Amy took off back to the train station. Realizing that she saw them, they jumped from roof to roof after her. She ran faster and faster, reaching the train station. She jumped on the tracks and reached her max speed, which was barely faster than Sonic at his normal running speed. They hedgehogs jumped on the tracks and followed her. She was getting closer to the cliff that she always jumped off, but this time, she would jump from the tracks. She looked back and saw them gaining on her. Her eyes widened and she pushed herself hard, going at their max speed.

'Almost there…!' she said in her mind.

'Don't run! You can never keep everything out! You need trust, you need love, and you need comfort,' said an ageless voice in her mind.

Amy focused on run and blocked the voices out. She had 50 yards to go. Sonic and the others realized that she was getting closer to the cliff and they tried to go faster. Suddenly Shadow had an idea. He sped up even more, going faster than Sonic and Silver and catching up to Amy. She finally reached the cliff and jumped. She started to fall to the sea below and looked up to see Silver and Sonic. She frowned. Where was Shadow? She felt someone's hand touch her and she turned. It was Shadow. She made a stream line to the ocean and Shadow followed. Amy had about ten feet left when she expanded her wings and spread them. She pumped them up and down, gaining altitude. It surprised Shadow so much that he didn't Chaos Control before he hit the water. That gave him a wake up called. He Chaos Controlled and landed on Amy's back. She felt it and looked back. Shadow was sitting on her back, trying to figure out what to do next. Amy dove and Shadow held on. She pulled out of the dive with a corkscrew, but Shadow still held on tight. So she started to get higher. Shadow didn't really need air; he was the DNA of Black Doom. Then an idea hit him. He grabbed her wings and pushed them down on her back, preventing her from flying, gliding, and flapping. Amy felt this and tried to free them, only to be greeted by the rush of falling. Amy turned around in his grasp, trying to get free. She ran out of options and brought her face to his. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she kissed him. It shocked Shadow and he let go of her wings, which she started to pump again. She let go of him and went supersonic in the air, leaving a ring cloud in the air. Shadow didn't do anything for a second and then Chaos Controlled back down to the others. Sonic and Silver rushed to him, hoping that he had Amy, but no such luck.

"What happened? You guys went above the clouds and we couldn't see shit," asked Sonic.

"I grabbed her and she got me to let go. She got away again," Shadow said, still shocked by the kiss.

"Fuck!" yelled Silver as he got frustrated.

They sighed and just headed home, knowing that they would do this again tomorrow.

Amy, meanwhile, was back at her weeping tree, thinking about what she did. She loved the sensation of kissing Shadow. She thought it over. When she kissed him, she felt sparks and fire, warm and safe with a slight feeling of welcome. She sighed as she thought of that. She crawled into her little hole in the roots, which she finally realized was a portal, and curled up on the pitch black ground. She wanted a bed and one appeared out of nowhere. She looked at it. It was light wood with white sheets and comforter. She wanted it to be maroon with dark wood and red sheets and a black and maroon striped pillow. It changed to her liking. She smiled and walked over to it, climbing in. She sighed and fell asleep thinking of Shadow.
