Roxie went inside the tent, and sighed. 'This isn't so bad,' she thought, 'it's kinda comfy..' The black echidna looked around. Shadow wasn't in the tent! She looked around and spotted the hedgehog.

She exited the tent, and climbed the tree. He was sitting on the branch, with his arm on his right leg. She sat next to him, but he didn't say anything. It seemed he was in a deep thought.

She wanted to ask, 'What are ya thinking about,' but she knew he would ignore her.

He opened his eyes, and looked at Roxie. "Hmm?" She looked at him, and smiled. "I guess you're thinking about life, huh?" He looked at her, his eyes shined in the moon light.

"I suppose." He crossed his arms.

Shadow's POV:

I looked at her. Her fur was gleaming in the moon light, and her bangs were covering her eyes. She looked like...

"Maria..."

She looked at me. "What was that? Maria?" Great, humiliated myself... Fantastic. I was about to say something when,

"Maria... Is she a friend of yours?" She asked. I could sense the curiosity in her voice. I looked into her eyes. She wanted to know.

"Yes. She's... gone." I felt pain as I said those words. "Oh... I'm. I'm so sorry..." I heard sadness in her voice, she came closer to me.

Roxie hugged the black hedgehog, as he looked at her. She felt bad for him. She knew what it felt like losing a loved one...

She then let go, and smiled softly. "I bet she was very lucky to have a friend like you..." He smiled softly as well...

The two have been talking, and then they fell asleep.

Roxie yawned and tried to move. She looked up and her cheeks turned pink. She was laying on top of Shadow's chest, as his hand was on her back.

She then heard chuckling and laughing.

Roxie looked down. Sonic and the guys were down on the ground, "Hey, lovebirds, rise and shine!" Sonic yelled. Roxie glared at the blue hedgehog. She felt a movement, and looked at Shadow.

She smiled nervously as he looked at her. "Morning... uhh... Hehehe..."

Shadow moved his arm away, and sighed. Roxie looked at him, and then climbed down.

Sonic smirked as he looked at Roxie and raised an eyebrow. "Well, well, well... I guess Miss-I'm-Not-Into-Him lied." Roxie looked at him. "Go jump into water..."

Sonic chuckled, "I'm kidding, Rox, "He put his arm around her, "Besides, you at least had your first kiss, right?"

"No... we just talked... that's all..." Roxie sighed as her cheeks turned a deep red.

"Ah, ok. Well, you'll get there." Sonic said. He then ran off back to his tent. "What a perv..." Roxie muttered under her breath.

Jasmine rubbed her eyes, and her voices from outside her tent. She looked and saw Rouge and Sally.

She walked behind a tree, and spied on them.

Rouge put her hands on her hips, "So the plan is-" "Shh, shh. Let's keep it a secret, kay?" Sally said.

Rouge nodded.

'Plan? What plan?' Jasmine thought to herself.

The two left, and Jasmine and sighed. "Maybe it's what Roxie did... to Sally..." Jasmine walked down to the lake, and saw Viesha talking to Silver.

'Come on, Silver, you have to get out of the friend-zone...'

Viesha's POV:

"And then, we fought a dark hedgehog named Mephiles!" Silver said. I smiled. "That's cool. I remember when Team Vortex and I fought a man named Eggman Nega."

Silver smiled, 'Ok, say it, Silver!'

"Hey, umm... Viesha?" Silver rubbed the back of his head. "I-I was wondering..." I pushed my bangs out of my face, "Yes, Silver?"

"W-will you... help me start the fire tomorrow?" A frown spread across my face. "Oh, sure..."

Pegabronies725: Huh, this chapter was short...

Fire Blaze: Yeah, darn it Silver... TT^TT

Pegabronies725: Fear not, my booping friend, Silver will come out of his shell. Maybe...

Fire Blaze: Ok, what do you think the plan Sally should do?
