A/N: Thanks for reviewing! I'll mention how Dark Shadow looks like in the later chapters.

Ages:

Amy:19

Shadow: Ageless

Sonic:23

Tails:16

Cream: 15

Sunshine. A public place. Nobody would expect him hiding out here.

Someone's POV

Humph... Shadow failed me. I'll make him pay.

End POV

Sonic sat alone in Tails' workshop. He was trying on Tails' shoes, when he accidentally destroyed a strange scary red and blue robot that Tails' been working very hard on.'Oops.'

When Tails came home from his date with Cream, he had a bright red lipstick-mark on his left cheek, and blushed like hell. Sonic couldn't stop laughing at the poor foxboy.
Later, after being teased, Tails announced: "Sonic, I'm sorry, but you can't stay here tonight. Cream's coming."

"What? I'm not going back to Sally!" The mere thought of it made Sonic shudder.
"You don't have to." Tails assured him. " Cream told me Amy has called, she is back. Perhaps you can stay with her."
"Amy is back?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
YES! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I AM TELLING YOU!
"Okay. But she hates me." Tails sighed.
"Ask her nicely."
"...All right. I'm leavin'. See ya later!
"Wait, Sonic!" Tails called. But Sonic was already gone, leaving a blue trace after him. "He is too fast for his own good." Tails muttered. ' Cause Sonic had no idea where Amy lived.

After wandering about Station Square for a while, the blue speed demon caught sight of a black hedgehog that looked just like his dark rival, Shadow. "Shadow!" Sonic shouted. The hedgehog turned around, and faced him. Sonic noticed that "Shadow"'s usually crimson colored quills were grey and slightly purple.
"I'm not Shadow." He said, his voice was scornful. Sonic thought he had seen him before, but he couldn't put his finger on where. The voice was also familiar.
"Are you sure?"
"YES, I'M PRETTY SURE I KNOW WHO I AM! AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE FASTEST THING ALIVE. I THOUGHT YOUR BRAIN WOULD BE FAST TOO."
'Wow. The second time today.' Sonic thought. "Then who are you?" He asked.
"Just call me... M." His voice was smoother now. "Come with me, I have something to show you."
"If you make it quick." Sonic said, and followed this mysterious M. He was curious, and couldn't find Amy's apartment anyway.

Amy's POV

Shadow was rather nice and polite during my journey home. I don't know why he didn't just Chaos Control us, he ran. And I think I actually enjoyed being in his arms while he was running. We talked, and the bigger part of my fear for him was gone when he had opened up a bit.
He left me in my apartment. I had no clue about how he knew where I lived when even Sonic didn't, maybe he had asked Rouge.
After I'd changed clothes and had a nice coup of hot chocolate, I called my friends to tell them not to worry anymore. Cream was relieved, she said she would tell Tails. Rouge was mad at me for not telling her anything, and she scolded me for half an hour.

Next morning, I observed a small note on my night table:

Be cautious. He will find another person to carry out his mad orders.
/Shadow

I shivered when I read it.

End POV

The first thing Tails noticed when he woke up in the morning, was that his breakfast was all eaten up. "Sonic." He growled. He turned around and saw that his brand new shoes were worn out. "Sonic." Then, if his eyes didn't deceived him, someone had destroyed his most advanced robot so far. "SONIC!"

Don't forget to R&R!!!
