The next morning Amy left the hospital and returned home. She was looking forward to meeting up with Shadow later on in the morning and deciding what Emerald to get next. Shadow had already got the one in the desert; he went back with Rouge in the evening to retrieve it. It was much cooler then, and Amy wished that she thought of going in the evening instead of the day, that would have prevented a lot of problems.

As soon as she got back to her apartment she decided to take a long shower, she hated hospitals and did not feel comfortable washing there. Amy stepped into the shower and turned it on. The warm water on her fur made her feel so relaxed, she could stay there all day.

Suddenly Amy heard the faint sound of the doorbell through the noise of the running water. She hurriedly turned the shower off and slipped on her pink, silk, dressing gown. Amy ran to the door, her quills and body still dripping water. When she opened it and saw Shadow standing there she blushed at the state of dress she was in, and he seemed to go red also when he met her eyes.

" Can I come in…or is it a bad time?" Shadow asked Amy, looking away from her.

" Oh come in and sit down, I'll just be five minutes," Amy replied embarrassed, and as soon as Shadow was sat in the lounge she ran to her bedroom and hastily got dressed, choosing a baby pink peasant blouse, and denim skirt. She also tied her quills back with a red ribbon, it tended to go frizzy after a shower and she had no time to straighten them.

When she was fully decent, Amy went into the lounge and sat down next to Shadow. He gave her a small smile as she joined him, which she returned before she asked him why he was here.

" We have a problem," Shadow said seriously, " Rouge does not know where one of the Emeralds are. We have the two we got, the eighth that you know, and we know where four more Emeralds are located. But we have no clue about the last one, any ideas?"

Amy looked down at her skirt and whispered, " Sonic has the last one."

Shadow looked at Amy sadly, that Sonic problem was really getting her down. He hated to think it, but he wanted them to be friends again even though he can't stand that blue hedgehog. Anything to make Amy happy.

" Amy, I will get the Emerald off Sonic. You can stay here and relax." Shadow offered. Amy's face brightened as she contemplated the idea.

" Yeah, that will be fine! Thanks Shad!" She cried. Shadow smiled, he loved it when she was cheerful.

" I better go to Sonic's house then," Shadow said " stay here, I'll see you later."

He gave Amy a small kiss on the cheek and let himself out. Amy ran to the window, and watched Shadow as he jets off down the road, his air shoes at full blast.

As Shadow set off towards Sonic's house, he thought about Amy and Sonic. He planned on talking to Sonic about making up with Amy when he sees him. Shadow was also glad that Amy was staying at home, she had a knack of getting into trouble. Maybe now he would have an uneventful day. Shadow finally reached Sonic's big house. He noticed Sonic had got a new door since the last time he was there. ' Must be something to do with Amy' he thought as he rang the bell.

Amy stretched out on the sofa with a bar of her favourite chocolate, and flicked through the channels on the T.V.

" There is never anything on!" She complained out loud. Amy got off the sofa and walked over to the radio. She turned it on but turned it off immediately when she heard what song was playing. ' I am so bored!' She thought, ' I will go for a walk, it should be more exciting than staying here.' Amy grabbed her pink coat, and set out.

Shadow rung Sonic's doorbell for the third time, and banged on the door hard with his fists. After no one answering the door, he gave up and came to the conclusion that Sonic was not home. ' I could steal the Emerald,' Shadow thought but decided against it. He wanted to speak to Sonic anyway. Shadow backed down from the door, and sped off back towards Amy's apartment. He was looking forward to seeing her again, safe at home and out of trouble.

Amy had walked to Emerald Coast. She loved the place, it was so peaceful walking along the white sand and seeing the waves sparkle in the sun. As she walked she started to collect shells along the beach; she was enjoying the peace and quiet. Suddenly the sound of screaming erupted from behind her, and many people ran past her yelling. Amy turned around. Her eyes widened, as she could not believe what she saw.

Shadow rang Amy's doorbell and waited patiently for her to answer with one of her wide smiles. There was no reply. Shadow rang the doorbell again, and again there was no reply. ' She must have gone out, I told her to stay in!' Shadow thought annoyed. ' Oh well, I will go home and try again later.' He thought, there was no use going to find her. She could be anywhere! Shadow turned away from the apartment and set off back home. He was quite hungry.

" Eggman, what are you doing here!" Amy yelled furiously, bringing out her Piko Piko hammer. Eggman was at Emerald Coast in a new machine that looked terrifyingly strong. When he saw Amy with her giant hammer held high above her head he laughed.

" Amy, just the hedgehog I was looking for! I heard you know the location of the legendary eighth Emerald, I could do with that!" Eggman cried.

" Well you won't ever get the information from me!" Amy yelled, " I would rather die!"

Eggman laughed again.

" Well that can be arranged, if you don't tell me where the Emerald is in twenty four hours." He said.

Amy looked at the new machine, if only she could find a weak spot. Then she saw it, the head. Amy charged at the machine with her hammer at full speed, ready to smash it but it was without hope. Suddenly a huge claw appeared from the inside of the machine, and held Amy tight in its clutches. She tried to wriggle free screaming, but it held her securely.

" You have twenty-four hours, then I'll kill you!" Eggman laughed, looking at the screaming hedgehog.

" SHADOW, SHADOW!" Amy yelled madly, as Eggman started to walk off with her. No one arrived at the scene to save her.

Shadow sat at his kitchen table eating a cheese sandwich thinking about Amy. ' I wonder what she is doing?' he thought.
