A/N: I'm really sorry for the slow update. :( I'll tell you why I took this long to update: 1) I had just finished my exams, so I wanted some time to relax and do nothing. 2) I didn't really have any ideas. 3) I was lazy, and couldn't get myself to type. :P Before you guys start reading, I wanna thank my reviewers properly.

Chapter 4

"I guess I should start looking for Shadow. The sooner I find him, the better." Amy said to herself, turning to walk towards the direction of the park, before stopping herself. "From the way Shadow behaved at the park yesterday, I don't think he's gonna be going there for a while." A frown settled on her lips. "Oh well, I can't give up looking for him now."

xXx

What am I going to say to Shadow once I find him? The pink hedgehog thought, biting her bottom lip, while trying to come up with an excuse. Amy's shoulders slumped, while she sighed heavily, feeling slightly angry. "Oh it's no good! I can't think of ANYTHING!" She frowned, watching some clouds appear in the sky. Amy drew in another sigh, walking on the sidewalk. "Why do you have to make this harder than it has to be, Shadow?" She asked quietly, her head hanging low.

But then Amy remembered that SHE was the one who decided to do this in the first place. She had thought that it would be more easier than chasing Sonic and much more fun, but she now realised how wrong she was. "Well I can't give up now, I am not a quiter!" Amy said to herself, folding her arms. "Besides, it looks like this mission is gonna be quite interesing." She added, smiling slightly. "Well, it sure is better than wasting my time chasing Sonic. In this mission I can get somewhere, but in the other one I didn't get anywhere." Her smile got wider, assuring her that this mission wasn't going to be a waste of time after all.

Amy blew some quills out of her eyes, glancing at the sky, while realising that a few more clouds had appeared since the last time she had looked. "I sure hope that it doesn't start raining..."

xXx

The azure hedgehog, known more as Sonic, was racing through Station Square looking out for any trouble. He glanced behind him, surprisingly missing seeing Amy following him. I wonder what's going on with her. Sonic thought to himself, his mind travelling back to their last meeting.

*Flashback*

"Hey Ames." Sonic said, watching the pink hedgehog walk into Tails's workshop.

Amy looked around, and when her eyes fell on Sonic, she smiled at him. "Hi Sonic!" The petite hedgehog greeted him cheerfully, waving a little.

"So, what are you doing here? Do you need something?" The blue blur asked, giving her his trademark smile.

"Um, no. I actually came here to check on you guys, I haven't seen you or Tails around very much." Amy replied, scanning the room again. "Speaking of Tails... Where is he? I wanna say hi to him before I leave."

Sonic chuckled slightly, then spoke up, "He's currently in the bathroom Amy, but I'm sure he's gonna be out soon."

"Don't worry, it's not that important." The small female said, and when Sonic looked at her, she added, "By the time Tails gets out, It'll already be night time!" Confusion took over the blue hedgehog's face, but when he realised the joke, him and Amy both shared a few laughs. "Well, I'll be going now." Amy gave Sonic a smile, before slowly making her way to the door.

"Wait!" Sonic called, but then regretted it. He wanted to know why she didn't hug him again, but he realised that it would only make her think that he had some sort of feelings for her, not that he did anyway. "Erm, I jusy wanted to say... Um bye, yeah bye! I'll see ya around Ames!" The blue hero waved, watching Amy raise an eyebrow at him, but then she made her way out of the door. Sonic watched her leave, a frown on his face. "Amy is acting very strange." He thought loudly to himself, his ears twitching upon hearing a toilet flush. "She has probably moved on from me for real." Although he let out a relieved sigh, deep down he couldn't help but feel a little sad. Sonic's eyes widened. What was going on?

*End of flashback*

Feeling the wind stroke his fur, Sonic let out a relaxed sigh. He often wondered about the feeling he had when he thought that maybe Amy had moved on from him. He tried really hard not to think about it, but it would find a way into his mind again. I certainly don't have feelings for her. Sonic thought, shaking his head at how stupid it sounded. Him? Having feelings for Amy? Yeah right! It's probably because she was the only girl who gave me that much attention, and maybe that's why I had that feeling. He thought again, nodding his head. Yeah... That was it.

Sonic sighed happily, letting the wind carry him, watching the buildings blur past him. Another thing that he really liked apart from chilli-dogs, was running. He really liked it when-actually he liked everything about it. The blue hero let aside all thoughts of Amy from his mind, focusing on his running instead. I really hope that Amy has really moved on from me. There. Amy entered his head again. Not only that, but the same feeling from the other day also returned...

xXx

"Ugh! Where is he?" The frustrated pink hedgehog said to herself, walking in some more quieter areas, knowing how unsociable the ebony hedgehog was. "I hope I find Shado-" Just as she was about to finish her sentence, she spotted the hedgehog she was looking for. Amy did a fist pump in the air, trying not to show herself to Shadow. She was sure that if the dark hedgehog saw her, he would run away. "Now slowly follow him." She told herself, tip-toeing quietly.

Amy was only following him, because she wanted to know where he stayed most of the time, so as to make her job much more easier. The pink female kept her eyes glued to Shadow, watching him enter a forest. Amy stopped, her eyebrows cocked in confusion. Why did Shadow go inside the forest? She thought, frowning a little. Well there was only one way to find out the answer to her question. Amy quickly followed after the male hedgehog, not wanting to lose him.

Ok, what is Shadow doing in a forest out of all places. Amy thought, still following the black and red streaked hedgehog. My feet hurt a lot! The pink hedgehog didn't notice the twig lying on the floor, so she accidently stepped on it, making it snap. Her eyes widening and a small gasp leaving her mouth, Amy quickly dived behind some nearby bushes. Please don't let him see me! She prayed quietly, trying her best to stay still. The petite hedgehog knew that if Shadow found her, he would-Amy shook her head. Whatever he would do, it wouldn't be good.

Shadow trailed his narrowed eyes across the forest. He swore that just a minute ago he heard a twig snap. Something or someone is definitely following me. He thought, his red eyes burning with anger. When he finds whatever is following him like a stalker, he's going to teach them some manners with his chaos spear. That brought a small smirk to his handsome but dark face. Until then, you can keep following me.

Once Amy was sure that Shadow had started walking, she emerged from her hiding spot. Phew! That was very close! She thought to herself, watching the ground for any more twigs or broken tree branches. When she looked up however, she stopped dead in her tracks. Shadow was standing before her, his blood red orbs glaring daggers at her, demanding an answer from her. "Sh-Sh-Shadow." Amy said shakily, watching the male walk up to her.

The dark hedgehog stopped a few feet away from her, his arms crossing across his chest. "Care to explain what you're doing in a forest, following me."Amy gulped the lump down her throat, feeling quite scared. If only she didn't... "Hmph! When I ask you something, I expect an answer in return." Shadow cut her thoughts, bringing her back to reality.

"Well, I.. Uh..."Amy started, shifting between her feet, an old habit of hers.

"Can you stop stuttering, it's pathetic." The dark hedgehog snarled harshly causing Amy to jump back a little. She now realised how angry she had made him by following him.

Then an idea popped into Amy's head. "Well, I'm sorry." She started, trying her best to act innocently. "I didn't know that it was you I was following, I thought that it was Sonic." Amy wasn't very good at lying, so she hoped that he would buy it. Well it seemed like today was her lucky day, as she watched Shadow's eyes drain out of anger, but they got replaced by annoyance.

"Hmph, I don't know why you always mistake me for that faker, as we are both completely different, but I'll let you go this time. So, leave." Shadow replied, his face showing no emotion. He turned around to leave, but Amy's voice stopped him.

"Shadow, which way is the exit?"

Ok, so I decided to put Sonic as one of the main characters into the fic to make it a bit more interesting, and because I haven't got any other ideas. :P Well I hope you guys liked this chapter and don't forget to review! :)
