Hi Everyone! I'm sorry that I take such as long time updating new chapters and such! I'm working on trying to write/type faster and better. Haha. I struggle with doing both at the same time. X.X

Two things that I am changing about the story:

1. It will no longer be labeled with Shadow and Amy since (obviously) the story involves Rouge and Cream and many others just as much as Shadow and Amy.

2. The rating will be T just in case. I just feel like this story would be better suited as T.

Thank you, enjoy~!

Chapter 11

(Cream the Rabbit)

Cream couldn't stop giggling. Everything was so overwhelming! Tears streamed down her face and she let them wash over her. (Have you ever been so overwhelmed that you just start laughing and can't seem to do anything but laugh and cry at the same time? This was what Cream was going through.) She knew that it was completely ridiculous to laugh at this time, but she really couldn't help it! she didn't know what to do! The mixture of Amy's personalities colliding with her natural one and the different voices in her head was too much for the young rabbit. Her body and soul was tired. What could she do, but laugh and cry at this time? So that's what she did- she laughed and cried.

"Cream? Don't cry, Cream. What's wrong?" Tails' gentle voice and coaxing arms tried to soothe her confusion. It helped her to some extent, but her head still hurt.

"T-Tails." she finally stuttered out.

"Yes?" he asked, eager to help out his female friend.

"Could you do something for me?"

"Of course! Anything!"

"I-"

"Yes?"

"I..."

"Yes? Yes?!"

"I am hungry." Cream finally said slowly. "I want chicken."

Tails gave her an odd look, but didn't question it.

-At Susie's Cafe-

"Mm! This is delicious!" Cream cooed over her chicken sandwich.

Tails sat across from her and looked out of the window and at the rainy scenery. He glanced back at the overjoyed rabbit and sighed silently. Her tears earlier were definitely not because of some craving for chicken. There was something wrong with Cream. Tails couldn't tell whether Eggman's machine had affected her in some way or whether it was from his own machine previously restored. He did know from his limited knowledge about Amy that the young rabbit in front of him was neither the pink hedgehog or his beloved Cream. Just who was this female?

"Are you really Cream?" Tails finally asked her.

"Of course I am!" Cream smiled angelically at him. "Why do you ask?"

"No reason." Tails looked away.

Perhaps he had been wrong? But he still couldn't shake off this feeling that this was not the same Cream. Well, certainly, Cream supposedly had Amy's personality right now and was obviously not the Cream he had grown to know and love. Wait. Did he just think about loving Cream? No. Impossible. He was a child. She was a child. Right? Right?

'Oh Sonic,' Tails thought, 'I wish you weren't so obsessed with Amy right now. I really need your advice!' Then he scolded himself for even wanting Sonic's advice. With Sonic's current state, Tails doubted whether his 'older brother' was useful to anyone but Amy right now (and even that was debatable).

Watching Cream munch away at her chicken, an ironic thought brought on a small chuckle from the fox.

Cream looked up from her meal and stared questioningly at him.

"Oh. It's just that." He giggled a little. "I had initially built the machine that switched your personalities to figure out what a chicken thinks about." He laughed louder this time. "And you're eating a chicken now!" He kept laughing.

Tails quickly stopped laughing when he realized that that wasn't even funny. Blushing, she scratched his head.

"That wasn't even funny, was it." Tails mumbled. "Sorry."

Cream tilted her head to the side and smiled warmly.

Tails' heart quickened and his hand flew to his chest in shocked wonder. Had this always happened when she smiled?

Cream giggled as if she had heard his thoughts.

"Cream?"

She stopped giggling and looked up at Tails again with her angelic smile.

"Yes, Tails?"

"Would you like to take a walk with me today?" Tails cleared his throat and looked away with another embarrassed blush.

Cream let out a soft sigh. "It's raining outside, Tails."

"I know...I'm...sorry."

Cream smiled a wide smile and stood to leave, catching Tails' hand in hers. "Let's go, then!"

Tails just stared wide-eyed at their entwined hands as Cream led them out into the rain.

The waitress watched them leave and smiled to herself. "It's so good to be young."

(Rouge the Bat)

Even though they had run as fast as they could the moment they heard the explosion, they were a bit too late. When they arrived at the 'battle scene,' the only one around to explain what happened was Sonic, who was protesting and struggling against the chains tying him to the street lamp.

"Sonic!" Knuckles shouted. "Hey! What happened? Where is everyone?"

"Amy!" Sonic panted. "I've got to find Amy!"

Knuckles rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. But tell us what happened first!"

Knuckles smashed the chains and set Sonic free. Without a "thank you" or an explanation, Sonic sped away, knocking Espio and Knuckles out of the way in his hurry. That was when the males' eyes went as wild as Sonic's.

The two started screaming for Amy and left Rouge alone, following closely behind Sonic.

Rouge blinked and sniffed the air.

It was faint, but Amy's scent was invading the world and was already polluted in the area she now stood. Strawberry and something else- a tangerine? Hot sauce? Rouge couldn't put her finger on it. Whatever it was, it was unusual and she had a feeling that it was the cause of the males' craziness. Could it have something to do with the explosion earlier?

She tried to concentrate on Amy's thoughts, but when her mind was strangely silently, she panicked. She had gotten used to the other girls' thoughts. How could their presence have left so suddenly?

She closed her eyes and thought harder, this time on Cream.

A faint voice entered her mind. A word.

Chicken!

'Wha?' Rouge thought. 'What was going on?'

She shook some of the rain off of her fur and looked around. She was the only one outside and the only living thing she could see. The loneliness consumed her and she worried. Flapping her wings against the singing storm, Rouge flew off to seek answers to her questions.

(Amy Rose)

"Um, Shadow." Amy said slowly. "I know I've asked you a million times already, but..." She gestured around the dark mansion walls. "Why did you bring me here?"

Shadow stared at her.

"Still no answer?" she sighed.

She took an expensive-looking mirror from the desk beside her and tossed it around, playing with it in boredom. It was obvious that they were in Rouge and Shadow's home. Every room, wall, and ceiling was decorated with silk, jewelry, drapery, mirrors, and anything else that added to the gloomy majesty of the mansion. If Amy had her normal personality, she would have died from the lack of bright colors, but currently, she enjoyed the decorations. They fit the godly, black and red hedgehog in front of her.

Amy leaned back on a throne-looking chair as Shadow continued his silence by the large window on the other side of the room.

Each time the mirror went up into the air, Amy caught a glimpse of Shadow in its reflection- from his gleaming fur, still a bit wet from being in the rain, to his molten, red eyes that stared at her with unmistakable desire. She marveled at those eyes.

"Stop it." Shadow whispered in an almost pained way.

Amy let the mirror clatter to the ground.

"Stop what?" she asked when he continued to stare at her with a grimace.

He sighed. "I guess you can't control it."

"Control what?" She became annoyed.

"Nothing."

Her annoyance turned into frustration and she pouted.

Shadow growled.

"Stop." he ordered again.

"I'll stop when you tell me what exactly I'm supposed to stop doing!" she hissed.

"Your scent." Shadow grumbled.

"Are you telling me I stink?" Amy huffed. "I'm sorry I smell!"

Thunder rolled outside and Shadow growled.

"They found us." he growled.

"Who? We were hiding?" Amy stared at him wide-eyed. She approached the window he was looking out of to see for herself when he didn't answer. Approaching the black iron gate surrounding the mansion was a horde of males calling out her name. "OMG! Zombies!"

Shadow gasped and snapped his attention back to her. "Don't speak woman!"

"What! What's wrong with you, Shadow?!" Amy shouted. "And why is the mansion going under a zombie invasion?!"

Shadow groaned and buried his face in his hands.

"Amy!"

The door to the room flung open and a panting Sonic stood with a mad look in his eyes. Even from where Amy stood, she could see the drool pooling out of his mouth. Another sound alerted her to Espio who stared at her with the same crazy eyes from the ceiling corner. Another sound of thunder shook the walls. Lightning lit the room for a nightmarish moment before blacking everything out.

"Amy." Shadow panted right behind her.

Amy slowly turned around to see Shadow's eyes glazed with the same craziness as everyone else's. Suddenly, his once shiny fur was not ragged and messy.

"Shadow?" she squeaked.

All three males spoke. "Amy, we...want..."

"Eek!" Amy screamed in terror. "I only have one brain! Don't eat it! AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhh hh!"

Screaming, she shoved Sonic out of the way and fled down the halls. Without a moment of hesitation, they fled after her.

Poor Amy! haha! She's experiencing a zombie apocalypse! And they are all male! Which isn't really that surprising if you have played zombie games and/or seen movies or shows with zombies in them. There are more male than female zombies! Especially if they are attacking.

(I've been playing zombie games everyday last week so...lol)

To the readers who have figured out what Eggman's machine did, please do not ruin it for the others who haven't.

And Tails and Cream are now starting their path on fluffiness! I can't wait!

Since I haven't really updated even though I am currently on break, I'm really sorry. But I've been obssessed with Inuyasha fanfiction. So much that I might write one myself one day. lol. But I can't decide between SesshomaruxKagome and SesshomaruxRin right now. Decisions decisions...

And I would actually like to thank MewShiny, Gloomy Shadows, ballandcup, Amy roxs1, ShadowsAngel1, TwilighttheWolf, and Myestica for reading my story so far and reviewing! I love you guys!

BTW:

ballandcup, I realize that yes, Cream has been significantly getting creepier every chapter. There is a reason for it...and if you haven't realized it yet, then I assure you that you will know by the end of the story...lol

Gloomy Shadows, thank you for reading so many of my stories! I really appreciate it! And your reviews always give me the strength to continue writing! Thank you, again!

...and now it is almost midnight. Gotta go! I hope to reply to more people next time so please keep reviewing!

THANK YOU!
