This is chapter three, it's bad, I know it's bad and I know that I personally hate myself for being so bloody corny.

Chapter Three: A Dream nearly come True
~Shadow's Dream~
"What? Where am I?" He looked around and saw he was where he and Sonic had fought Metal Overlord, everything seemed peaceful but Shadow could tell something was terribly wrong, "Why am I at the Red Mountain?" Then he saw something in the corner of his eye; something pink, he turned to see properly and recognised the form of Amy Rose standing on this edge of a cliff,
"What is she doing here? What is she doing!?" he asked no one in particular, he then saw her jump off, his eyes widened and he ran over to where she fell, he stared down and saw her falling, then heard a blood curdling crunch of bones breaking on rocks and saw her body lying in a pool of blood at the base of the cliff.
~Rouge's Mansion~
Shadow awoke with a slight sweat and was panting a bit, he looked at the clock and saw it was six am, he was slightly confused and concerned for Amy's safety, he rarely had dreams, so when he had one it usually meant something,
"Just a dream? Strange, but that seemed so real, I'm going to check on Amy!" And with that he left his bed and sped towards Amy's house.
~Outside Amy's house~
When Shadow arrived he nearly collided with the wall, he was going so fast, never the less, Shadow managed to stop before the door, then he knocked, after a while he knocked again and called;
"Amy open the door!" he waited, "Amy open the door or I'll kick it down!" And he did, when he searched for her he found an envelope for him, he read (under his breath):
"To Shadow
I knew you would come to check on me at some point, but by the time your reading this letter it's probably to late to do anything to change my mind, I've decided I can't go on and I've gone to the Red mountain to join Sonic.
Amy"
Shadow crushed the letter in his fist in anger and said,
"The dream is coming true!" he threw the letter on the ground "There's not a moment to lose; I've got to get to the red mountain!" And so he left faster than he had come. As he blasted towards the Red Mountain at an amazing speed, as the world rushed past him in an amazing blur, only one thought rushed through his mind 'I've got to save her!' He forgot everything else in his life at that moment, all he remembered was that he had to help her.
~Red Mountain~
Amy stood on the edge of a cliff, two thousand feet up, watching her surroundings; thinking about what she was doing, then she said to herself,
"Well this is it. It's just not worth it any more." She inched closer to the edge. By then Shadow had reached the Red mountain, but was quite far from Amy and was frantically searching, when he spotted something pink and immediately knew it was her; he began to jump from cliff to cliff in her direction and shouted;
"Amy! Amy!" Amy heard him and looked, then when he got close enough to see she mouthed the words 'Goodbye Shadow' then she fell, Shadow yelled at the top of his voice and in an incredible burst of speed, he blasted at such velocity he was no longer visible, towards the falling form of Amy then slowed to her speed and shouted over the roar of the passing air,
"Amy no! Don't! I can save you! Just grab onto me!"
"No! My life isn't worth it without Sonic!" Amy Shouted back,
"But Amy what about everyone else? What about Tails? Cream? Rouge? Me?" Shadow reasoned
"Why should I care about you? It was your fault he died!" Amy replied in anger,
"I know it's my fault, I accept that, we have all lost a good friend, but we are all coping with it! But you are the only person who has ever been kind to me, ever, I don't want to lose you Amy" Shadow said, then Amy burst out in tears,
"Oh I'm so sorry Shadow, but my head has been spinning ever since I found out, I don't know what to think anymore!" she wept and held him tight to her, as she nuzzled into his chest, Shadow looked down at her, for the first time in his life, he felt true compassion, he had found a kindred spirit; one who had lost the one most precious to then, just like he had……but the moment was interrupted when he noticed how close they were to the ground, he quickly pulled out the green chaos emerald and yelled;
"Chaos control!" They disappeared just in time and instead; ended up in a heap on the pavement outside Amy's house, once they had untangled themselves and after they had picked themselves up Amy turned to Shadow,
"Sorry for what I've done over the last couple of days, I've been a fool." She said to him, Shadow looked at her with his ruby red eyes, he had no expression on his face but his eyes seem to have a warm look in them.
"I know how you feel, to lose one so dear is like losing part of your soul; brutal and unkind." he told her "But we must always carry on. C'mon you best get inside, looks like it'll rain soon."
Amy was just about to walk inside when she turned and asked,
"Umm Shadow… Could I stay with you for a while?" Shadow was rather taken aback but then said,
"Well as long as Rouge is okay with it then yes."
"You live with Rouge?" she asked
"Yes, but only until I find my own home."
"Well, I'll ask her then" Amy said and then they walked to Rouge's together.
