Okay, this chapter is a bit short, but I have already started the next one. Thanks for the reviews!

" WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY WORKSHOP!"

The two hedgehogs leapt up off the ground and turned around. A yellowy orange two tailed fox was staring straight at them. His usually friendly face was now red with anger as he saw the awful state his prized workshop was in.

" Amy, did you do this with your stupid hammer?" Tails asked coolly staring at Amy in the eye.

Amy felt herself going as red as her headband as she gave a quick nod. At the time of destroying the place she had not really considered what Tails would make of the damage, she had not really considered anything. Amy looked up at Shadow for help with explaining what happened, but he was conveniently avoiding all eye contact, staring up at the starry sky. She knew she would have to do this alone.

" Um… sorry Tails," The pink hedgehog said lamely looking down at her feet, as if the word sorry would make everything better again. It didn't. Tails seemed to be even angrier than before, but he was concealing it well, trying to act calm under the circumstances.

" Amy you better come inside, you too Shadow. We need to talk," The ten-year-old fox said calmly, gesturing at the ruined doorway. Amy walked slowly into the wrecked workshop feeling extremely disappointed in herself. She had never seen Tails this angry before, and he had a good reason to be.

The damage was even more apparent inside. The splinters from the door were scattered all over the workshop floor, and the whole room was a mess. As Amy was searching for the Emerald she tipped over countless filing cabinets mixing up all of Tails' files and important formulae, she destroyed many machine components, and bashed his new machine The Tornado Zed so it had a dent in the side.

Tails sat down on his sofa, but jumped off it again as he felt a spring go up his bum. Amy had wrecked that too. He gave a long sigh and sat on the floor, making sure he did not sit where any wood was.

" Amy, why did you ruin my workshop?" Tails interrogated. Amy looked at Shadow who this time was looking at her. He gave a small shake of his head which Amy understood to mean don't tell him the truth.

" I…got angry," Amy lied, and the fox was unconvinced.

" Tell the truth Amy." He said slowly staring at her straight in her watery eyes, trying to detect if she was lying or not. Amy remained silent, breaking the eye contact and staring at the floor. Tails looked at Shadow who just stared back, his deep ruby eyes burning into Tails' like flames.

" FINE!" he yelled, " GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN AMY, SONIC WAS RIGHT YOU HAVE CHANGED!" Tails stood up and pointed a gloved finger outside, glaring at the hedgehogs that immediately walked slowly out of the workshop and into the cold night, the opposite temperature to the burning heat earlier.

As soon as they were out of Tails' earshot, Amy fell to the floor and immediately started to cry, all her guilt and disappointment in herself flowing into the already damp grass. Shadow stood watching. He felt as though he should comfort the petite hedgehog, but he was not sure he was able to. So instead he just watched her, waiting till all her tears had stopped before he started to talk again. There was something he needed to know.

" Amy, what happened between you and Sonic," Amy blinked, successfully holding back more tears and managed to say,

" Its not important," as she stood up and forced a smile onto her face which looked incredibly fake, unlike the usual cheerful ones she gives out. Shadow decided not to press the matter, and returned his thoughts to the retrieving of the rest of the Chaos Emeralds.

" Amy, do you know where the other Emeralds are?" He decided to ask instead. Amy shook her head.

Shadow was annoyed. How could they succeed in their mission without knowing where to start looking for the Emeralds, what was she thinking.

Shadow thought for a second. How could he find Emeralds? He would never ask that blue hedgehog for help, especially now there was something going on between Sonic and Amy. He was not even sure why he had Amy with him, he usually hated having help, but it was different with Amy. She made him feel things he has not felt for years, she reminded him of Maria…but still, he needed the Emeralds and he had no way of finding them.

Then he thought of it. Who better to ask then Rouge? Amy hated Rouge and tries to kill her whenever she sees her, but he actually got on with her. She would certainly help them and she was a talented treasure hunter. He only needed to tell Amy…
