(A/N): Last chapter! By the way, does anyone else like gangster Todd? Because I love him!

Reese was bouncing his leg up and down as he watched the scenery change through the window of the train. He started to enter a more rural area and knew he was getting close. He kept checking his cell phone to see the time before looking out the window again.

"Last stop, Mystic Ruins." The conductor called out through the speakers. Reese got off and walked through the train station. He pulled out his cell phone and quickly punched in a number.

"Where are you?" Reese said into the phone.

"West and Verona." Shadow said sadly as Reese hung up his phone and started to run down the street. Back in Station Square Amy was sitting in her room waiting for the serum to kick in. She started to feel a little drowsy as her eyes started to close.

"Amy! Amy!" Cream yelled busting into the room. Amy was already past out as Cream cursed.

"What the hell were you guys thinking?" Static exclaimed as Cream glared at him.

"Well, we all didn't know Spark was a Black Arm and would kill Scourge!" Cream said as Static put his hands up defensively. "God. We can't wait twenty-four hours." Cream said as Static scoffed.

"Why not?" Static asked.

"People will find her here! She looks dead! Her pulse is not going! They're going to freak out and call 911!" Cream yelled as Static leaned away from her.

"Please. Some personal space. Here's an idea. How about you fucking stay in here and keep watch!" Static exclaimed as Cream rolled her eyes.

"Do you honestly think I can stay in here all day? I'm a fucking important member! I'm going to have people trying to find me and figure what the fuck is going on!" Cream yelled as Static sighed.

"What about your druggie boyfriend?" Static said as she looked at him confused.

"How do you know about Tails?" Cream asked as Static smirked.

"Word gets around, doll." Static said as Cream glared at him. "Don't give me that look. Call your little fuck buddy." Static taunted as Cream growled and flipped open her phone.

"Baby…I'm tired from last night." Tails groaned as Cream blushed realizing the phone was on speaker. Static started to bust up laughing as Cream kicked him.

"Shut up!" Cream hissed as Static snickered under his breath. "Tails…I need a huge favor." Cream said sweetly as Static rolled his eyes.

"Yes?" Tails asked.

"I need you to watch Amy's unconscious body for the next twenty-four hours." Cream said as Static poked Amy's arm.

"Sure. I wasn't doing anything today anyways." Tails said as Cream smiled before slapping Static's hand away from Amy's arm.

"Thank you Tails!" Cream said before hanging up her phone.

"Thank you Tails." Static mocked as Cream threw a pillow at his head. Reese was in the correct streets as he looked for Shadow.

"Reese…" He heard someone say his name. He whipped around to see Shadow sitting against a wall with his head down.

"Shadow!" Reese exclaimed as he ran over to his friend.

"How is she Reese?" Shadow asked as he looked at his fox-friend with bloodshot eyes.

"She's great Shadow. Shadow you can come back! Scourge is dead! The gangs are unifying!" Reese said as Shadow's eyes widened.

"What?!" Shadow exclaimed jumping onto his feet.

"Spark! He's a Black Arm. He was third in command for the Freedom Fighters. He and Todd are joining the gangs together!" Reese said shaking Shadow's shoulders.

"Oh my God! We have to get back there." Shadow said as he and Reese took off. They skidded to a stop in front of the ticket window. "Two tickets for the next train to Station Square." Shadow said slamming some cash on the table.

"I'm afraid the next train doesn't depart for another hour." The woman behind the window said. Shadow cursed and took the two tickets.

"Don't worry. She'll be there waiting for you." Reese said as Shadow gave him a half-hearted smile. Back at Station Square Todd and Spark were meeting with Devin and Ricky.

"You killed Scourge and Silver?" Devin growled out as Spark and Todd nodded. "And now you want to merge the gangs?" Devin asked in a disbelieving tone.

"It's for the best. You wanted a treaty and if we remain separate gangs you wouldn't have the treaty. Ever." Todd said. Spark nodded as Devin scowled. Ricky and Devin looked at each other having a silent conversation.

"We need to discuss this alone." Ricky said as Todd and Spark left the room. They walked outside of the building and lit up a few cigarettes.

"Do you think they'll go along with it?" Spark asked taking a drag from his cigarette.

"I don't know. Devin didn't seem too happy about it." Todd said staring out at the road.

"He seemed down right pissed." Spark said as Todd shrugged his shoulders. "But Ricky didn't seem against so maybe he'll convince the bastard." Spark said taking another drag of his cigarette. Static was walking towards them as Todd raised his eyebrow.

"Where the fuck is Reese?" Todd asked as Static shrugged his shoulders.

"I've been looking everywhere in this fucking city. I have no clue where he is." Static said as Todd threw his cigarette on the ground and smashed it with his foot.

"He went to get Shadow." Todd growled out as Spark's eyes widened.

"The shit is not even decided! If he shows up Ricky will fucking kill him!" Spark exclaimed as Static panicked.

"Oh shit! What are we going to do?!" Static yelled as Todd sighed.

"Just find Reese and him as soon as possible and tell them to get the fuck out of here." Todd ordered as Static nodded and took off. "We have to keep Ricky distracted." Todd said as Spark nodded. Shadow was bouncing his leg as he looked outside the train waiting to see the city again.

"Dude relax…we're almost there." Reese said as Shadow ran his fingers through his quills.

"I can't help it. I thought I wouldn't see her again. Just the thought…it's got me fucking anxious." Shadow said as he looked out his window again.

"She's there. Don't worry so fucking much." Reese said as Shadow chuckled a bit.

"Yeah…I should relax a bit." Shadow said as he leaned back into his seat on the train.

"Finally!" Cream exclaimed as Tails walked into Amy's room.

"Sorry, sorry. I was finishing up my bud's car." Tails said kissing Cream on her lips. "How about we take a visit to your room real quick?" Tails asked cupping Cream's butt with his hands. Cream kissed him again with a laugh.

"I have some business to do and you can't get distracted while watching Amy." She said poking his nose.

"I better get something good out of this." Tails mumbled as Cream giggled.

"You bet your sweet ass you are." She said kissing him again before leaving towards the door. "Please take care of her." Cream said as Tails waved her off. Tails sat down on the floor and rested his back on the side of Amy's bed and looked around the room.

"Oo…Seventeen magazine." Tails said sarcastically as he grabbed the magazine. "Might as well read something. They might give me some ways to impress Cream." Tails muttered to himself as he opened the magazine. He quickly checked the time on Amy's alarm clock and saw it was a little past six. "She should wake up in a few hours. Hopefully Cream will be back before then." Tails said as he started flipping through the magazine. Static stopped at a local liquor store exhausted from his search of Reese and Shadow. He called both of them hundreds of times, but eventually their phones shut off. He's been up and down the city checking the Freedom Fighters' apartments, train station, and park, but nothing. He stopped by the store to get something to drink before looking at the train station again.

"Static my man!" A light brown squirrel with green eyes. He was behind the counter as Static smiled.

"Hey Jerry. I'm just buying a Gatorade today." Static said as Jerry rang up his drink.

"What's going on in the neighborhood?" Jerry asked as Static paid him.

"A lot right now. Right now I'm just trying to find Reese and Shadow." Static said taking a swig from his sports drink.

"They were just in here." Jerry said as Static spat out his drink luckily missing Jerry.

"When?!" Static exclaimed as she slammed his drink on the counter.

"Twenty or so minutes ago. They bought a pack of cigarettes before leaving." Jerry said as he looked at Static confused.

"Do you know where they went?" Static asked quickly.

"Not sure, but I think they're headed home." Jerry said with a shrug of his shoulders. Static ditched his drink and bolted out of the store. Jerry watched in confusion as Static ran down the street towards the apartments. Shadow and Reese stood outside the Freedom Fighters' apartment building looking up at the fire escape.

"The moment you've been waiting for." Reese said as Shadow took a deep breath. He and Reese started to climb the fire escape slowly approaching Amy's room. Shadow pushed open the window to see Amy lying in her bed sleeping. He smiled to himself as he jumped into her bedroom. Reese followed and looked around the room. Shadow kneeled down to her bed and caressed her face, but quickly retracted it when he felt it was cold.

"Shadow. You have to read this." Reese said solemnly handing him a sheet of paper.

"Dear Scourge,

I can't take living in your fucking hell hole anymore. You've taken the one person in my life I love away from me. I will never forgive you and I'm taking your 'precious' sister away. You're a fucking asshole and deserve to rot in hell. My suicide should show you that even your own sister doesn't love you and thinks you're a monster! Goodbye forever. I hope you enjoy hell.

Amy Rose."

Shadow looked at the note with his mouth open and in shock. He could feel his heart crumble inside his chest as he crushed the letter in his hand. He held back his tears as he looked at his beloved.

"Amy…" Shadow murmured as he pushed a strand of her hair away. Reese noticed a fox by her bed unconscious and wondered what he was doing here before ignoring him and paying attention to Shadow. Shadow lifted Amy off of her bed and started to carry her out of the window. "Don't follow me Reese." Shadow said in monotone as Reese stretched out his hand.

"Shadow…" Reese said as Shadow whipped his head around and glared at him through his tears.

"I said don't follow me." Shadow said as Reese let his hand dropped. Shadow climbed out of the window and down the fire escape as he left Reese in the apartment. Static and Cream busted into the room panting as Reese looked at them confused.

"Where's Amy?!" Cream exclaimed as she stared at Reese.

"Shadow took her. When were you going to tell me she killed herself?!" Reese exclaimed as Cream slapped her forehead. Static grabbed Tails' shirt and started to shake him before he started to wake up.

"W-What's going on?" He asked confused as Static rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, what is going on?" Reese asked as he looked over at Cream.

"Amy didn't kill herself. She took a drug to make her body presume the appearance of death so Scourge would bury her and she could run off to Shadow. But, when we heard that Scourge was killed it was too late because she already took the medicine." Cream said as Static pushed Tails.

"And we left this one to look over her." Static said as Tails smiled sheepishly.

"Are you fucking serious?!" Reese exclaimed.

"Yes! She's going to wake up in an hour!" Cream exclaimed as Reese put his hands on his heads.

"Oh my God! Shadow thinks she's dead! He took her with him. There's no fucking idea what he'll do now!" Reese exclaimed as they all started to run out of the apartment. Todd and Spark were sitting across from Devin and Ricky as they all stared at each other.

"Have you reached an agreement?" Todd asked as Ricky pulled his sunglasses off and looked at the hedgehog.

"Yes." Ricky said as Spark leaned forward.

"What is it?" Spark asked as they all looked at Devin. Devin took a deep breath as he rested his mouth on his intertwined fingers. Shadow was in his old home with Amy lying in the bed they made love in. He was all cried out as he looked down at the body of his true love cold and dead.

"My rose…" He whispered caressing her cheek. "We'll be together soon." He said as he held his pistol in his hand. "I love you." He said as he held his pistol to the side of his head. He closed his eyes as sniffled. Amy's eyes slowly started to open as she looked at the ceiling then to the side of her.

"Shadow!" She yelled as Shadow's eyes opened the exact time he fired the bullet into his head. Shadow collapsed to the side with blood pouring out to the side of his head. His eyes were lifeless as Amy started sobbing. "S-Shadow…no." Amy sobbed as she got off the bed and put Shadow's head in her lap. She choked out sobs as she looked at her love dead in her lap. His blood was staining her jeans as his lifeless eyes stared at her. Static, Cream, and Reese all made it to Shadow's house, but the door was locked. They all started to bang on the door yelling Shadow's name. Amy swallowed the lump in her throat as she reached for Shadow's gun. She ignored her friends' shouts as she aimed the gun to her chest.

"I love you Shadow." She murmured before firing the bullet through her chest. She collapsed over Shadow as Reese and Static broke down the door. Cream gasped in horror as she saw the two lovers covered in blood. She started to cry as Static and Reese looked down solemnly. Reese held back his tears as he comforted Cream.

"No!" Cream exclaimed as she looked at both of them. The police later came and took the bodies away as Todd and Spark arrived on the scene. They told the others about how Ricky's and Devin's choice to merge to gangs together. Cream sobbed more knowing they could have been together happily. The next week they all met in the cemetery to see their friends being buried. They all shared stories and fond memories of the two and at the end Ricky and Devin dedicated a tree to them. It was two cherry blossoms trees the merged into one and hung over their graves.

Nikki stepped out of the darkness that was now the scene with a single light on her. "This is a story of love and tragedy. Two lovers met and give their lives for each other. It shows how humanity can drive us away from something as precious as love, but some will go anything to keep their love. Amy and Shadow could have had a life together with their friends, but with circumstances they failed to have the life they thrived for." Nikki said as it showed to grave stones with Amy's picture on one and Shadow's picture on the other before dulling into the darkness.

The End

(A/N): Aw…such a sad ending. But that is the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. I hoped you all enjoyed the story like I have. I know it's shorter compared my other stories, but I wanted to keep Shakespeare's tradition of five acts. Thank you all for reading and reviewing. You all are wonderful :))
