The Golden Bridge

Chapter Two: The Bridge

They ran over to the forest and there were dead leaves all over the ground and the trees were very tall. Amy looked at Shadow and smiled cutely. "Let's play a game!" Amy exclaimed. Shadow looked at her and smiled.

"What kind of game?" He asked.

"We can play hide and seek. I'll go hide," Amy said then ran off somewhere. Shadow faced a tree and closed his eyes then started to count to a hundred.

After a while he made it to a hundred. "Ready or not, here I come Amy," Shadow said and started looking. "Amy where are you?" Shadow asked, as he looked under a rock. "You're not under there," He said then searched inside a bush. "Nope," He said then looked behind a tree. "No," He said then sighed. "Amy where are you?!" Shadow called out to her. No reply. Shadow shivered when he suddenly heard someone moving around in a berry bush. He approached the bush. "Amy are you in there?" He asked. Suddenly a rabbit hopped out and Shadow screamed and fell onto his bottom. The rabbit stared at him then started hopping away. Shadow smiled. "Hey come back," He said and started chasing it. The rabbit hopped and hopped until it reached a really big bush that was covering something. Suddenly Amy jumped up from behind him and Shadow fell to the ground. "Amy!" He exclaimed. Amy giggled.

"Shadow, what are you doing on the ground?" Amy asked. Shadow shook his head, as Amy helped him up off of the ground.

"You scared me Amy, where were you?" He asked.

"Hiding," Amy replied then eyed the big bush. "Hey. Let's play in that big bush," Amy said, as she pointed at the bush. Shadow looked at the bush and sighed.

"What if we get lost?" Shadow asked. Amy looked at him then sighed.

"You are right. Let's go home now," Amy said, as she grabbed Shadow's hand. Shadow smiled and then they ran off back to Shadow's house.

When they got there Shadow knocked on the door. Suddenly Shadow's mother opened the door. She smiled at them. "Hey Shadow and Amy," Shadow's mother said politely.

"Hi mommy," Shadow said with a smile on his face.

"I'm going home Shadow. Do you want to play again tomorrow?" Amy asked. Shadow nodded.

"Yeah, I can't wait," Shadow said happily. Amy giggled then ran off. Shadow then walked into the house and his mother shut the door. Shadow looked at his mother. "Mommy, where's Abby?" He asked cutely.

"She's taking a nap upstairs," His mother replied. Shadow nodded. "Are you hungry sweetie?" She asked.

"Uh huh," He replied. His mother made him a sandwich and Shadow ate it then he went to go to bed. He lay down on his bed and couldn't stop thinking about his new friend Amy. He never had a friend before and Amy is his first friend. Shadow sighed happily then closed his eyes. He suddenly fell fast asleep.

The next day Shadow and Abby were walking to school together hand in hand. They made it to school and Shadow sat down in class. Sonic was sitting behind him laughing about something and Amy was sitting next to him again. She smiled at him and winked. Shadow nodded at her then Mister Jazz came into the classroom. "Alright class. Today we are gonna learn very, very hard tests," He said, as he smiled. Shadow sighed then suddenly he felt someone hit his head. He turned around and Sonic was laughing at him. Shadow growled then looked at Amy.

"Just ignore that jerk," Amy whispered to him. Shadow smiled at her and nodded.

After that it was lunch time and Shadow and Amy sat at the same table together. Shadow sighed angrily after what he saw inside his lunch bag. "My mom got me the same thing," Shadow mumbled. Amy opened her lunch bag and also sighed angrily.

"My mom too," Amy replied. "Want to trade again?" Amy asked. Shadow smiled brightly and nodded. After that they switched lunches. Suddenly Sonic walked over to them and sat next to Amy. He put his arm around her and smiled.

"Hi, I'm Sonic. What's your name pinky?" He asked Amy. Amy pushed his arm off of her and frowned.

"I'm Amy Rose," Amy replied. Sonic nodded then looked at Shadow.

"Is Amy your girlfriend?" He asked. Shadow's eyes widened.

"No!" Shadow exclaimed. "She's my friend,"

"Yeah, we're just friends Sonic," Amy said. Sonic laughed.

"Yeah, alright. Hey Amy, do you want to be my friend too?" Sonic asked. Shadow stared at Sonic angrily.

"He can't just steal my friend!" Shadow thought. Amy chewed on her food then swallowed.

"No. I only have one friend and his name is Shadow," Amy replied. Sonic sighed and shook his head then suddenly Knuckles walked over to them and sat next to Shadow.

"What's crackin' Sonic?" Knuckles asked, as he shook Sonic's hand.

"Nothing much," Sonic replied.

"You guys are talking like teenagers or something," Shadow mumbled. Sonic frowned at him.

"That's how cool kids talk," Sonic replied. "And your not one," Shadow frowned and got up with his lunch in his hands.

"Come one Amy, let's sit somewhere else," Shadow said, as he walked over to another table. Amy followed him over. Suddenly Rouge walked over to Shadow and Amy and frowned.

"Okay. Where's my money?" Rouge asked. Shadow didn't say anything and Amy smiled at her.

"Hi, I'm Amy Rose. Would you like some money so you can buy yourself some lunch?" She asked.

"Shut up pinky. I'm talking to Shadow," Rouge replied. Amy looked down at her food sadly. Shadow looked at Rouge and growled.

"I'm not giving you any money anymore Rouge," Shadow said. Rouge growled and then sighed.

"I'm gonna kill you tomorrow," Rouge said then walked away.

"She was mean," Amy said. Shadow nodded.

After school Shadow, Amy, and Abby walked to Shadow's house so Shadow could drop Abby off. "Bye Abby," Shadow said, as Abby ran towards the house. "Let's go play now," Shadow said then they both ran into the forest again.

"Let's play tag," Amy said happily. "Tag! Your it!" Amy shouted and tagged Shadow then started running. Shadow went after her. They were laughing as they ran.

"I'm gonna get you!" Shadow exclaimed joyfully, as he ran.

"You can't catch me!" Amy exclaimed through laughter. Suddenly Amy ran to that big bush and jumped inside it. Shadow jumped in after her. Amy then came out from the other side and spotted a river and a bridge made out of solid gold. Amy stopped in front of the bridge and gasped. "Wow," Amy said amazed. Suddenly Shadow made it through and ran over to Amy.

"Tag! Now you're it," Shadow said, as he tagged her. Amy didn't move and stared at the bridge. Shadow looked to where she was staring at and gasped. "That's a bridge made out of solid gold," Shadow said amazed and walked over to it. Amy followed him and grabbed his hand. Shadow looked at her. "It's okay Amy," Shadow said. Amy nodded. "We found a bridge! We can make it ours!" Shadow exclaimed happily. Amy smiled.

"Yeah! We can name it The Golden Bridge!" Amy exclaimed happily then her and Shadow started dancing on it. They were laughing as they did. After a while they got tired and stopped. Amy looked on the other side of the bridge and smiled. "Let's go to the other side and see what's over there," Amy said. Shadow nodded then they approached the other side.
