Back with Sonic, he and his fiancé were on their couch. He was in a reclined position with his feet on the couch. Sally was in his lap. At this point she was almost asleep, when she heard him breathe heavily. She straightened a little, and turned so she could look him in his eyes. " Sonic, what's wrong?" He looked down at her like he was debating whether or not he should tell her or not. "Nothing." he said simply. She turned back around and sat in his lap again, and sighed. "You know we are getting married, we need to start talking to each other than it was Sonic's turn to sigh, "Do you really want to know what wrong?" She nodded her head and took his hand, "Yes, I really would." Sonic scratched behind his ear and finally gave.
"Well, you know how I moved all this stuff to this house today, right?" Sally brought her eyebrows together in confusion 'What does this have to do with anything' she thought. But she said "Right." "Well Amy was here helping me with all the fragile stuff." The brown squirrel shoot up and stared at her cobalt mate. "You said that you weren't going to see her anymore." I shook his head, "I needed help and you were busy." He insisted. She turned around and pouted. "Besides it wouldn't have been right just to not tell her I'm getting married, and never see her again." Sally rolled her eyes, she never really liked Amy Rose. She always seemed to be after her man. She had to bite back a curse whenever she was mentioned. "Continue." she said with her voice flat of emotion. "Well, when she came here I told her about us." She smiled and thought, 'good that would have ruffled her feathers.' But she said in a sympathetic voice, " What happened then?" He sighed, " She didn't think it was a good idea." Sally shrugged, "So what does she know about us? She didn't even know that we've been dating for the past 2 years."
"When she said that I got...mad." She looked at him with confusion, "How mad?" she ask, sensing that he did something that she would have to clean up. "Well, I lost my temper, and kinda beat on her." Sally gasped, she knew she had to keep this under wraps or else the soon-to-be king might not be respected. "Well, what happened, where is she now?" He sighed and scratched his head. "I don't know." Sally jumped up "What!" How could you not make sure that she didn't go around and ruin your name..err...I mean... make sure she was okay." She tried to keep up the sympathetic face for him, but if this got out she wasn't sure what would happen. " I don't know, I was mad, ...I...I." Then he sighed "I just wanted get away from what I had done." Sally pondered this, "Well, why don't we go over to her home to apologize." Sonic gave her a look. "Really?" It wasn't like her to exactly care about Amy or her feelings. "Sure, I mean if you sincerely apologize I'm sure she'll forgive you." He smiled, "Really? You think?" She nodded, " This will be a good foundation for a clean break ." With that the couple got up and walked to the pink hedgehogs house.
Unfortunately, the female in question was at Shadows house she was still unconscious . Shadow, whose patience was wearing thin with wait to find out what happen, was close to waking her and starting an interrogation. He'd already bandaged her up and was surprise there was no broken bone or other serious injuries. Then again, she looked almost peaceful to him. She reminded him of a little of Maria. As soon as he thought of this he felt saddened. If only he had been able to save her. Now here was this girl, similar to her in so many ways, yet infinitely different. He's finding himself helping her when he found her on the street. 'Why?' He didn't know exactly, but could decided to deduce it to her being similar to Maria, and stopped thinking about it.
Amy stirred and opened her eyes. Well tried to anyway they were still somewhat swollen and groaned. She tried to sit up, "I wouldn't suggest you do that, Rose." She sat up anyway. "Shadow?" she croaked, her voice sounded soft and whispery, "Is that you." He looked somewhat annoyed. "Yes, Rose, it's me. Now I believe you owe me an explanation of your injuries." She sighed and held her head. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." She said sadly. He rolled his eyes, " I'll be the judge of that." She looked down 'Where do I begin' she wondered. She started at Tail's workshop and ended in the present. "And so...yeah that's what happen."
"Who did this to you?" Shadow asked quietly. Amy casted her glance down and away from Shadow."Rose you have to bring them to justice, it's not right for them to do that to you." She started to tear up. "I don't want them to get in trouble though." Shadow stood firm on his position, "Rose, I don't think it would be wise to just brush this under the rug." She tried to persuade him to her point of view, but couldn't. It seemed the more she tried the more annoyed he seemed to become. Finally he dismissed himself into the kitchen claiming he needed to get her something to eat. When he returned to her, he had a ham and cheese sandwich on white with a glass of water. "I don't have much, because I don't need to refuel as much as you do. You should eat that, I don't want you to faint from hunger." She nodded. "Thank you, Shadow." She ate in little bites. Shadow excused himself again, and left Amy in thought. 'Why don't I want him to pay for what he did?' She wondered why she was being so forgiving. Besides saving her, he has given her no other reason to stay true to him. Soon, Shadow came back with a pillow and a blanket. She gave him a questioning look. He rolled his eyes "It's late and I don't think your up to moving yet so you'll stay here tonight." She nodded and took the bedding and laid down on the couch. Shadow sat back down in the chair. As he started to drift off he thought one thought 'Why did I get involved?
