A/N: I was hoping to post this on Christmas, but I developed writer's block for a short period of time. Anyway, I am quite excited to write this. I do not own anything except the plot.

Sandy's POV

'Whose great idea was it to make a corset this tight? I need to breathe, as well as move.' I thought taking in a deep breath, the corset was constricting my lungs. Eventually gaining the ability to breathe correctly, I exhaled and smiled. Yet I couldn't help feel a bit worried, I haven't felt Shadow's energy since I got in my dress or at all for that matter.

"You've been staring into space for a while, you alright?" Ma asked, snapping me back to reality. I nodded, moving my hair out of my face, only for it to fall back to my slight displeasure.

"I just haven't left Shadow's energy nearby, that's all."

I noticed her smile was stiff as she replied, "I'm sure he's here, just don't worry about it."

"Alright, I won't."

Despite my best efforts, I could feel my heart speed up still not feeling a spark of energy from him. I just hope he isn't hurt somehow, even if he can heal himself I still worry. Hearing the organ squeak, I peeked out the room seeing everyone waiting. I was lucky to meet Shadow's parents before we announced this whole thing, nice people.

"Cold feet, I presume." I jumped and spun towards the floating eye, er, thing. I looked at a bit longer until a hologram showed, questioning, "Well?"

"I…I guess, but I don't feel…"

He interrupted, "The boy will be here. I honestly can't believe he would have the courage to bond you with him."

I chuckled nervously, asking, "You're his biological pa, right?"

He nodded, answering, "Yes, I am." He continued, "By the way, you should probably go out there. I'll be watching, and at least try to be supportive of you two."

I nodded, replying, "Thank you." The hologram faded once I turned back, putting on a smile.

Before I could get my foot out the door, Sonic ran towards me, tugging lightly on his tux. He looked a bit nervous as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Sonic, I really need to get out here."

He started sweating lightly, replying, "Um, actually there's a…problem at the moment."

"What is it?" I asked, fearing the worst is actually coming true.

He chuckled nervously, tugging at his collar again, answering, "Well, Shadow isn't…he's at, uh, w-work. So he couldn't make it, er, Sandy?"

Feeling my blood boil, I grabbed him, growling, "Just tell him, when he comes back, tell him, I have lines that shouldn't ever be crossed. This is an example."

He nodded after I let him go, and left more than likely to deliver the message. And somehow I found myself outside currently stabbing a tree repeatedly. I've never been this angry or violent like I am right now. Shadow better have good reason for this.

A/N: I enjoyed writing this chapter a lot. Hopefully I can get chapters out faster while working on other fics. Review please.
