He was fixing his tie in the mirror while a pink hedgehog was being formed in a pod full of green liquid behind him.

It's been almost a month since I've been harvesting this being. It's still too early to see her clearly, she's still an embryo. She's doing splendidly, if my calculations are correct, she'll be at one hundred percent around summer.

He took a little bit of gel and fixed his dark grey quills.

Today is the important party at G.U.N, it's expected to be formal with a lot of important people. But for me honestly, I'd rather not go. I have other important things to do but that would only cause the mayor of this town to question where the Colonel is. That's something I really need to avoid at this time. Only until she is complete.

Shadow was fixing his wrist buttons of his crimson shirt. It's been three days now since Amy left. He tried to stay focused on other things. While she remained away, he decided to not get as close to her again. He felt guilty about what happened and thought it would be best he doesn't get her involved in such things. 'It's the best for both of us' he thought.

Zoey was cleaning Amy's room. Shadow told her everything that happened the day before her disappearance. She was so happy to see Shadow finally opening up to some one. But when it seemed too good to be true, everything went down hill. Shadow went back to his lonely and stubborn life. Apparently, he thinks leaving alone Amy would protect her.

She organized Amy's closet and noticed a black long strapless night dress. It still had the price tag on.

" It was meant for Rose to wear for tonight. " Shadow said while entering.

Zoey looked at Shadow then back at the dress. " It's beautiful."

" … " Shadow remained quiet. Then spoke " Please leave it out. Tomorrow I'll be returning it." He said as he exited the room.

Zoey felt the hurt in his words. This situation saddened her but did as she was told and placed it neatly on the bed so it wouldn't get wrinkled and left Amy's room. As she got down stairs Shadow was putting on his black blazer. He's about to leave for G.U.N's party. Zoey saw and smiled at him. Shadow took notice.

" What?" he asked.

"Oh nothing dearly. Just thought you looked handsome."

*Humph* Shadow turned his back on her.

Zoey giggled and helped him fix his collar. " There you go. Much better."

Shadow turned back to face her. " Thank you. Well I'll be leaving now. Bye Zoey, have a good weekend."

"Thank you Shadow, you as well." She finished and he was out.

Zoey looked around to see what she would do next.

~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~

Meanwhile in the hospital, Tails, Cream, Blaze and Silver were waiting for news. Rouge was finally giving birth. Everyone was eager to know if it was a boy or a girl. Knuckles and Rouge wanted it to be a surprise so they never told anyone about the baby's sex.

Sonic wasn't present, he left to the Acorn kingdom to see Sally. He had something important to discuss with the princess.

As they waited in the waiting room, knuckles came out and everyone got up from their seats eager to know how the baby was. They all looked at knuckles.

"So.. ?" Tails asked.

Knuckles remained quiet for a moment looking at all of their faces. Then shouted. " It's a boy!"

"Aaah!" The group shouted in excitement.

"Congratulations Knuckles!" Silver said giving him a hug.

"When can we see him?" Cream asked.

" The mother and child need to rest for the night. It'll be best to see them tomorrow around the evening. " the doctor came out behind knuckles. " I apologize for interrupting, Sir. Your wife wishes to see you."

Knuckles nodded in agreement then the doctor left to fill in his report. He turned back to see his family/friends who all had smiled on their faces. "Well got to go now, I hope you can all come by tomorrow."

" Hope? Knuckles we're totally coming by tomorrow! Which is perfect because now we can go for a gift for your precious boy." Blaze said.

Knuckles smiled. " Thanks guys. Can't ask for better friends. "

They gave him a group hug before leaving. Knuckles watched them wave good bye and waved back at them when they were now out of sight he went to see his wife.

'Shadow' a small voice rang inside Amy's head. She began to slowly open her eyes. She blinked a few times then everything was clear. She yawned and stretched out a bit.

" Lovely to see your finally awake my dear." Xeon said looking down a her.

Amy was still flouting but then put herself down. She looked up to see Xeon, she smiled then bent down in respect.

Xeon went down to her and lifted her up. " I believe you had a good 3 day sleep don't you think so? "

Amy was a little confused at first but then remembered. She bowed down. " I'm sorry, I promise I will no longer take a break."

Now this wasn't what really happened before her sleep but Xeon replaced it with a vision of her coming back for a little nap. It was hard for Xeon to blur out some memories, he doesn't want to completely erase her mind, he doesn't want a empty robot type thing, but all, wants her to stay focused. Something big is about to happen and she needs to be alert.

" That's okay Amy. You can now go. " Xeon said.

Amy looked up at him and nodded. Xeon did the same and she stepped away from him to concentrate. The yellow circle appeared again underneath her and in a flash she was gone.

Xeon stayed in place, looking at the spot she had vanished from. " I hope I did the correct thing."

~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~

Zoey was sweeping the back yard when all of a sudden the clouds got very dark. She stopped and looked at the sky.

" Oh my, looks like a storm is coming. I must hurry." She said and started to sweep faster when a lightning struck close to her. "Aaaah!" she screamed and was about to fall but was caught. She looked up and saw a familiar pretty face. Her eyes widened. " Amy dear!" she quickly got back up and turned to face her.

Amy was smiling at Zoey so sweetly. " Hello."

" Hello? That's all you have to say?! " Zoey yelled as if she was punishing her daughter.

Amy's expression turned into a confusing one. " Hu-? Is something wrong?"

" Are you serious? Are you really asking?! " Zoey couldn't believe the nerve of this girl. " Well let's refresh, you vanish once again leaving the poor Shadow worried about you! Not to mention that because of that, you managed to break his poor illusion towards you."

Amy was surprised. " Uh- MMM.. I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry anyone."

" Well you did, you have a lot of progress to repair. Starting with Shadow." Zoey looked at Amy a little mad while having her arms crossed.

Amy wasn't capturing the message Zoey was sending but thought it would be best to not say anything else about it.

" By the way" Zoey looked inside the wall clock. " I suggest you go upstairs and get yourself ready. You can still make it."

" Make it where? " Amy asked.

Just when Zoey started sweeping ." Oh My God! " Zoey placed the broom aside and took Amy's wrist. She escorted her to her room upstairs. Once inside she let go of her and went to start the shower.

Amy straight away looked down at her bed and noticed a long strapless black dress laid out, but before she can even ask, Zoey came back and started to strip Amy's clothes off. " Hay! What-" Before Amy could even finish she ended up in the shower.

" I'll be back shortly. Make sure not to take long, we still have more work to do." Zoey said as she exit the room.

Amy was confused but decided to go along with it. She began to wash herself up.

-10 minutes later-

Zoey went back inside the restroom with a towel in hand. " Alright miss Rose, time is up." She closed the water and placed the towel around her. Amy got out and followed Zoey out. Zoey had already taken out her underwear to wear for the dress.

" Dry yourself darlin', then put these on." She said holding up the underwear.

Amy did what she was told. She put on a black thong and a black strapless bra. She felt a little awkward with the thong.

" I know it's a little uncomfortable especially since you don't wear these types of undergarments but for this dress, it's necessary. Don't get the wrong idea. I went and picked them up from a close store, Shadow didn't bye it for you. He's not that type. Yet. " Zoey said as she helped Amy wrap the towel around her hair. " Now my dear, time to put on the lovely dress." She picked up the dress, placed it over her head and stretched it out. She zipped it up and walked away to get a better view. It was a perfect fit. She smiled and took Amy to the dresser. She took out some hair tools and took off Amy's towel from her hair. " Time to get beautified."

Zoey blow dried her hair, and neatly made her a high ponytail. Since the dress had a long 'V' cut on the back, she thought a ponytail would work best. That way her back would be visible. She curled a little the tips of her quills. Now for face, she did a low key elegant make up. Dark smokey eyes and nude lips. Zoey maybe old but she never lost her once loved talent.

Amy got up and went to see herself in the closet mirror. To her surprise she loved everything. The dress was tight and showed all her curves, from below the hips the dress flowed beautifully. The dress had a heart shaped cleavage cut which looked eye-catching to her breasts. Zoey placed a long black neck choker, it was made from the same fabric as the dress, it was long and a little thick. It's meant to be worn as a ribbon. Zoey made a bow at the back and the look was completed.

Zoey walked back and admired Amy's beauty. Oh how would she love to one day see her as Shadow's wife. She was perfect for him. They were perfect for each other. She took a deep breath and walked up to her. Amy noticed Zoey walking towards her and turned to face her. Zoey gave her a smile and placed the G.U.N invitation in her hands. " The rest is up to you."

Amy looked at the invitation and her eyes widened. 'That's right! The important party at G.U.N!' " I'd be honored if you would come with me." Shadow's words clicked back. Amy looked up at Zoey. " Thank you so much Zoey, for everything." Saying those last words, Amy left off in a hurry.

Zoey's work here was done for tonight.

Amy read the directions to where the party would take place. She quickly got a Taxi and left. She didn't want to ruin her hair or dress, flying would mess up all her look.

~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~°•°~

Shadow was standing with a hand in his pocket and a glass of red wine in the other.

" Shadow! There's my top and favorite agent!"

Shadow turned his face. " Colonel C."

A dark grey hedgehog with beard and blue eyes was walking towards Shadow. " Without a date again I see, you've got bad luck with the ladies Shad's."

Shadow rolled his eyes in irritation. " No, I just don't like to be seen with anything lower than me."

" Damn, you sure have your expectations really high hedgehog. Hopefully you'll find someone who can bring you down to earth. " The Colonel said.

*Humph* Shadow looked away." I doubt that."

The coronel felt awkward and decided to greet more people coming from the entrance. " We'll nice talking to ya' see you later Shadow."

Shadow watched the Colonel leave and went off to fill his glass of wine.

The Colonel was walking towards the entrance when he spotted a beautiful pink hedgehog standing outside.

Amy was in front of the building looking at it when a security guard asked. " Excuse me miss, do you happen to have your invitation?"

" Of course." She handed the invitation to the guard.

The guard read the invitation and was shocked. "You're here behalf of Shadow The Hedgehog?"

Amy looked at him confused. " Yes, I'm his date."

The guard couldn't believe it, this is the first time Shadow actually invites some one. He gave her back her invitation. " Very well then Miss, Welcome." He bowed a bit and invited her inside.

Amy began to slowly walk inside looking everywhere. The place was beautiful, very elegant. There were news reporters and television cameras outside but separated from the entrance.

" Welcome precious."

Amy turned around and there before her was a grey hedgehog, he had his uniform with medals. He seemed to be an important person.

" I've never seen you before, what's your name?" Colonel C. asked.

Amy didn't like the vibe from him, something seemed off. But left that aside. "My name is Amy Rose."

"Amy? Hu- what a pleasure it is to meet you Amy Rose." He bowed a little and began to check her out.

Shadow was with his current partner Alejandro Panda. They where upstairs drinking wine, Alejandro was looking down at the guests coming in while Shadow was leaning towards the balcony.

" Woah check out Colonel C. He's already being a sick pervert. Poor girl." Alejandro said and took a sip from his wine.

Shadow wasn't interested in even looking.

Alejandro kept looking at Colonel C. " She is pretty though, but now that I think about it, I've never seen a pink hedgehog in here before. Wonder who invited her."

Shadow's eyes widened. ' A pink hedgehog?!' he thought and immediately turned to face the couple that Alejandro was looking at. His heart began to race. It was Rose. She looked so gorgeous in the dress he had picked out for her. But how? When did she get here? He had so many questions but before he knew it Colonel C. was touching her shoulder. *Snap!* Shadow accidently broke his glass of wine in hand.

Alejandro looked at his partner who had broken his glass of wine. " Shadow are you alright?" he had no response from him. He remained his full attention to the couple.

Shadow was enraged. How dare he touch his Rose. Colonel C. was known to be a big pervert. He was always looking for victims. He's nothing but a sick pig. Shadow didn't like him at all. He remained watching, until Colonel C. grabbed her hand and began to rub it. That was the last straw. No one touches Rose in his presence.

Alejandro watched him leave in curiosity. " What's up with him?" he said then turned back to watch Colonel C.

Amy was trying not to be rude but she was getting creeped out by this guy. He asked her if she would like to walk with him and touched her shoulder. She said no, but he remained insisting. She tried to cut him off and look for Shadow but he took her hand and asked for her number. He apparently wanted to be friends and keep in touch. She was feeling anxious, how can she escape him?

" I'm sorry, I can't, I really have to leave Sr." Amy was trying to cut him off

" But what's the rush sweetheart? I'm sure you'll enjoy a little walk with me." He couldn't let her escape from him so easily. She reminded him of his little 'project'. He needed to try and have a strand of her hair just in case.

Amy was backing away from him when she felt she had bumped into someone. She immediately turned around and was about to apologies when- " Shadow " she said his name so lovingly. She even felt her heart race and a tear appeared in her right eye. She launched herself onto him and hugged him tightly. She was so joyful to be with him. She felt safe.

Shadow remained still and never looked away from Colonel C. He sent him serious gazes. " I see you've meet my girlfriend Sr. Colonel C. " He eventually hugged Amy back and tightened his grip on her.

Colonel C. got the message Shadow sent. Amy was his property and wasn't playing games. Colonel C. remained still and looked back at Shadow. " I see. What a fine gem you have found yourself Shadow. Now I understand why you've been waiting so long for someone. She fits well your high expectations. " he bowed a little then made his exit leaving the couple alone for the night.

Shadow remained still as he watched the Colonel leave.

Amy was so warm in his arms. She really wished she could stay that way forever.

Now that the Colonel had left he turned his gaze to the petit pink hedgehog in his arms. She smelled so delightful, a small smile formed Shadow's muzzle. "Rose, how did you come here? When did you come back?"

Amy heard his deep voice and looked up at him. " I had just arrived when Zoey took me into the shower and started to help me get dressed. I'm sorry Shadow, I didn't mean to worry you."

Shadow looked at her and brought her into a hug once more. " I'm just glad you came back to me."

Amy felt a blush form on her cheeks.

" So, turns out she was your date." Alejandro said as he walked up to them.

The couple let go of each other and turned to face the Panda.

Amy looked up and saw a handsome Panda. " Amy, this is my partner, Alejandro Panda. " Shadow said to her.

" Alejandro this is Amy Rose, my date for tonight. " Alejandro smiled at her then bowed. " It's a pleasure to you miss Rose."

" Nice to meet you as well Alejandro. " Amy smiled back.

Alejandro was a very classy and yet goth looking guy. He had 5 golden piercings in each ear. Olive colored eyes, light peach muzzle, which also had a very light pink heart on his right cheek. A long black blazer, a dark olive colored button shirt, his black pants with a pair of black shoes and on his wrists a pair of brackets with gold spiky studs.

" Well then Shadow." Alejandro brought back his attention to his partner. " I'll leave you two alone for the night. Enjoy yourselves. " Shadow nodded and Alejandro left.

Amy watched Alejandro leave with a little blush. Shadow took notice. " Is that blush because you think my partner is attractive? " he teased.

Amy snapped out of it and turned to view Shadow. " Of course not!"

Shadow liked teasing the young flower. " Are you sure? I could go and get him back, leave you free to flirt with him."

Amy wasn't liking what Shadow was saying. " How could you say that? Does it not mean anything to you that I've come here to be with you? Why can't you understand that I don't want to be with anyone other than you."

Shadow's face got serious. " Rose calm down, I am only kidding."

Amy was still upset. She doesn't like the way he teased her.

Shadow felt guilt but tried to cheer her up. " By the way, you look amazing my lady." He spoke to her in her ear and pulled her close to him, causing chills run down her spine.

Amy blushed and looked up at his beautiful crimson eyes. " Shadow." She said softly. Shadow chuckled a bit and took her away to a more private place for them to talk.

In a table across from them was Colonel C. watching their every move. ' I can't help the feeling that she has some type of relationship with my little embryo at home. I must keep a close eye on her.' He thought as he watched them leave into the distance.

Shadow and Amy walked to a balcony upstairs in the backyard. Shadow sat Amy on the balcony as he held her in place. Amy left her heart race once more. Oh that blissful feeling, how she loved it. It made her happy.

Shadow looked at her, as much as he wanted to keep getting close to her a part of him was saying to stop. He closed his eyes in irritation.

Amy took notice. " Shadow what's wrong?"

Shadow opened his eyes again and looked away from her and into the distance. " Rose, I'm sorry. I can't keep showing my affection. Not because I don't want to, but for your safety."

Amy put on a puzzled face. " My safety? What are you talking about?"

"Sonic told me why you felt. I didn't know you were having a hard time trying to understand your feelings. I apologies, I never meant to pressure you, I don't want you to feel bad about anything."

Am felt hurt. " I'm sorry Shadow. I didn't want you to know, somehow I knew you would react this way. Even though it does hurt not to understand. But you know-" she paused and with her hand she turned Shadow's face towards hers. " I have learned not to question it, rather, to just feel it. Let it take over. The times I've done it this way, I've been really happy that it can't be explained with words. All this, because of you." She ended and for the first time ever, she leaned in to kiss the ebony hedgehog.

Shadow was shocked by what just happened. He slowly let all thoughts go and returned the kiss making it deeper. They both began to feel their animal instincts take in. Making their passion for each other finally take control as Shadow began to rub her bare back. A small moan left Amy's mouth, causing Shadow to growl. He took Amy down from the balcony and placed her to a nearby wall. He pinned his body close to hers as they locked in a deep kiss. Shadow began to play around with her tongue making Amy purr. Shadow heard steps getting close to them, he took out his green emerald and chaos controlled back to his home.

Another couple were getting to the balcony when they saw a green light lash before their eyes. They quickly ran out but saw nothing. No one was here.

Shadow and Amy were teleported to his room. They kept kissing one another as Shadow began to slowly walker to his bed. Just when Amy's legs hit the corner of his bed Shadow stopped. " Amy, I don't want to do anything that'll make us repent."

Amy smiled, he is always looking out for her. He's so respectful and lovely to her. That's what she really liked about him. " I doubt that, I really want you. I need you. I don't want any other man in my life."

They both kissed again and moved on. Shadow began to untie her necklace, once it fell he began to give her light kisses on her neck and down to her shoulder. Amy purred in delight while she began to take his blazer off. Shadow backed away from her shoulder and let Amy untie his tie. As she was about to unbutton his shirt next Shadow chuckled.

" What's wrong?" Amy asked.

" Remember how you unbuttoned my shirt for the first time? " He looked at her with a smile.

Amy blushed. How can she forget. The first time she saw his worked out body. She felt something happen to her that couldn't resist him. She tried to button back his shirt before he woke up, leaving his shirt crooked. " How can I forget."

Shadow watched how she began to get shy. He loved her innocence. She was almost done unbuttoning his shirt when Shadow took her hands in his. He pulled her to him and pushed her to his bed. Amy was now laying down on his bed while he was on top of her. He began to slowly kiss her while pulling down the side zipper of her dress. He stopped and waited for Amy to approve. Amy was blushing at Shadow then nodded in approval. He slowly began to slip off her black dress. There before him was Amy Rose in her black underwear but then Shadow noticed she had a thong on.

" Were did this come from? " he asked as he lifted the right side strip up with his finger.

Amy blushed. " Zoey got it for me to wear with the dress. She said it was the proper underwear to wear. Do you like it? "

He let the strip go making it hit her. " I love it. "

They began to make out little by little. He played with her breasts and stroke her flower a few times. Amy felt so at bliss, she couldn't explain what was going on with her but at this point she didn't care. She only went with it. As for Shadow, he was holding back a little bit, he wasn't sure if they should go to the next level.

" Rose, I need to know if you are interested in taking this to the next level with me? I won't pressure you nor make you do anything you don't want to."

Amy was too turned on, she wasn't going to let him stop this easily. She got up and flipped him over, now she was on top of him. She was in control. The moon's light entered through his bedroom windows, making Amy's body glow. He looked up at her in shock, he looked at her eyes who where glowing with delight. " Rose?" his eyes widened. Soon a snap was heard and she began to slowly open her bra revealing her perfect round and peachy breasts. This made Shadow's male instincts go crazy with desire. ' So she wants more, very well then' he thought to himself then lifted himself up. He had Amy sitting on his thighs topless, when she took off his shirt and their upper body's touched. They made out again but this time Shadow's manhood became known in-between her thighs. Amy blushed madly by this, she knew perfectly well what this meant. She got excited and moved a bit making him growl in pleasure. It did not take long for Amy to take off his pants leaving only his boxers. She looked at the hill it made with his boxers. She had this eager to touch it so she began to stroke it will her index finger making Shadow moan. Once she felt more confident touching it she went inside his boxers and slowly began to stroke it up and down. Shadow moaned more by this, making her wet. She pulled his boxer and his manhood became visible. Amy looked at it, it was big and thick, she felt herself get more excited by this, her flower began to wet itself. Her desire was getting more uncontrollable, as she stroked it up and down, she felt the need to taste it. She thought about doing so but didn't, 'would Shadow like it?' She thought for a second but then finally gave in. Shadow's eyes widened at the feel of her licking his manhood. He looked down at her and was turned on more seeing her this way. She licked and played around with it, her tongue stroke every inch just when he thought she would finish, she placed his member inside her mouth and moved up and down. He was losing all his senses. How could she be this good at it? She enjoyed hearing Shadow moan in pleasure. This satisfied her. As she kept on going Shadow spoke.

" Rose, your going to make me cum."

Amy liked hearing this and kept on going. She wanted him to enjoy it fully. After a few seconds she felt a warm liquid fill her mouth, she swallowed and let go of his member. She smiled at him devilishly in satisfaction. But Shadow had other plans. He got up and flipped her, with his teeth he began to take off her black thong, revealing her peach flower. It was so delicious looking to him, he went in and started to pleasure her. Amy's eyes widened at the feeling. He was licking her entrance while at the same time he rubbed her clitoris. Amy moaned softly. She was losing it, this felt so delightful. Shadow kept pleasuring her until he heard her moan louder and pulled his quills a little, this indicated that she was about to have an orgasm. With one more pull, she let her water run out in pleasure. Shadow licked her juices from his lips in delight. Amy at this point was madly blushed, her breathing was trying to get back to normal but she didn't want to stop just yet.

What she didn't know was that Shadow too wanted more.

" We're not quite done yet my lady. " he said with a deep voice.

He look her hips and brought her down to his. Amy was nervous and excited to what was about to happen. Shadow rubbed her flower with his members tip, making her moan. She was feeling good but still nervous. " Shadow " she spoke.

" I promise to be gentle. I don't want to hurt you. " he told her.

Amy felt better after hearing his words and looked at him. " Okay Shadow, I trust you."

Shadow took her hips and slowly began to enter her tight flower. Amy shut her eyes tightly in pain and pleasure. " Agh!" she yelled. Shadow stopped and waited until she was ready again. " I'm okay Shadow." So he pushed his whole member inside her. Amy felt how her flower got torn and began to bleed a little. Shadow again waited for her. She nodded and he began to penetrate her slowly. She was loving the feel of him entering her. At this point she was lost in lust as they continued to make love to each other. She didn't care if it was a little too soon. She really wanted him. They did it in many ways, and soon enough, they began to come to an end. Shadow penetrated her faster making her moan loudly in great pleasure. "Shadow, I'm coming." This was pleasure to his ears. " Come at me Rose." With a few more penetrations Amy gripped the blanket below her "Agh!" and let out her Juicy water. Shadow felt her hit him, he penetrated her faster and felt his end getting close. By his grip on her and his pace she knew he was about to cum. " Fill me with your milk Shadow. I'm ready to take it all in." she said. This turned him on even more and without warning, he slammed her onto him and filled her flower with his cum. "Agh!" Amy yelled in satisfaction.

They both tried to control their heavy breathing in exhaustion. Shadow turned to view at his clock which read 3am in the morning. He turned back to face Amy who was now calmed. He got up and undid his bed. He went to Amy and picked her up bridal style, then placed her in his bed. " Know that you're not leaving my side tonight."

Amy looked up at Shadow and smiled. " I wasn't planning to."

He laid down next to her and covered their selves with his blankets. He scooted her close to him and hugged her. " You're not leaving my side ever again my Rose." Amy smiled before the stayed in silence and eventually Shadow fell asleep. She was stroking his quills gently.

' Thank you Maria for this opportunity.'

One day ago –

Amy Rose was still sleeping.

" Xeon, I don't agree with what you are doing to her. It's not fair." A pretty human girl said.

" Maria please don't start." Xeon said as he drank his cup of tea.

Maria Robotnik was an Angel that visited Xeon from time to time. He was always lonely so she was nice enough to visit him.

" That poor girl should at least have a chance at love. There is nothing more beautiful in life than experimenting it. That's the reason many fight for it. " Maria said looking back at the pink hedgehog.

" You know perfectly well why she mustn't get involved with such things. She was designed to be a warrior nothing else."

Maria looked at Xeon irritated. " And when she's done with her mission, what will happen to her? "

" She is to come back to me, she'll stay here as a guardian. It took me 10 years to develop her. All her abilities are to stay with her forever. She holds powers of a god. That's why she can't live a normal life." Xeon explained.

" I don't know if she was lucky or not. You never gave her a choice. You took 10 years of her life and to top it all off, you don't let her make her own decisions as to what she wants. Your selfish."

Xeon sipped more of his tea then spoke. " I gave her a new life, a new purpose. She it ought to be grateful."

" I can't believe you." Maria looked at him in disappointment.

A blue spirit flew by. " Master Xeon, you are wanted in the kingdom hall."

Xeon drank the last of his tea. " I must leave now Maria. You are welcomed to stay if you like. I won't take long." He got up from his seat and left with the spirit.

Maria watched him leave, and then looked at Amy who was about to wake up. Taking another glance, Xeon was gone. She quickly got up and went to Amy.

" Amy? Can you hear me? " she asked.

Amy began to blink and saw a human girl before her. She had golden hair and beautiful blue eyes. Amy blinked a few more times and than stretched. She looked down and eventually stepped the ground. She turned to face the human girl.

" Hello Amy, my name is Maria. Master Xeon left but will be back shortly."

Amy looked around then back at Maria. " Thank you Maria, I'll wait for my master to come back."

Maria was surprised. Amy talked like an emotionless robot. This saddened her, she doesn't deserve this. Maria looked down to her hands. On her right wrist she had a charmed bracelet. The charms were tiny orbs that each held a special power. It was a gift from none other than Xeon himself. Maria looked at the red colored orb. This one held the power of passion of love. Next to that one, there was a yellow one, this one had the power to remember anything. Followed by a blue, green and white orbs. Each with different abilities. She looked at her bracket then back at Amy. ' Amy needs these more than I do.'

Amy was waiting patiently for Xeon's return when Maria sat next to her. " Hey Amy, Wouldn't you like to remember your past and fall in love again?"

Amy looked at her weird. " I do not understand what you are talking about Miss. I only have one mission."

Maria frowned at her. She looked to her bracket and took off the yellow and red orb. " Here Amy, I want you to have these."

Amy looked down at her hands then placed one hand below Maria's. As soon as they touched Amy's hands they took immediate effect. Everything Xeon had blurred out, came back to her. She remembered everything. Noticing what the orbs did she looked back at Maria. " How-?"

" Angels don't remember anything from their past life. This includes emotions. We only know and feel for things we know now. Everything from the past is gone. Xeon returned me those lost memories with all their emotions. With these orbs. But I believe you need them more than I do." Maria explained.

Amy didn't know what to say.

" I know you have a special someone, I want you to understand. I want you to feel. Live and do things while you still can. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Go back to him, who ever he is, and make new memories with him. "

Amy felt a tear drop. " Shadow. "

Maria looked up at her in disbelief. " What? "

Amy looked up at Maria. " Shadow The Hedgehog is his name."

Maria jumped out of her seat. " Shadow The Hedgehog? Does he have black fur with crimson stripes? Oh! And white chest fur? "

Amy nodded. " Yes, that's Shadow."

Maria sat back down. " You're in love with my little brother."

Amy blinked a bit than it hit her. " You're Maria Robotnik! Shadow's precious memory! His loved friend."

Maria felt her eyes water. She missed him greatly but immediately cleaned herself up. " Well, at least I know he won't be alone. "

Amy felt sad seeing her like that.

" I'm happy he found someone to be happy with. Please take care of him." Maria held Amy's hands in hers.

Amy smiled. " Don't worry, I will."

" Good! Now! Xeon will be back any minute now, In order to make this work." Maria took the small orbs from Amy's hands and carefully opened them. Letting out the color orbs fly out. " Amy, you must let these guys in your body. Only that way you can keep them safe from Xeon. Be careful not to show to much feelings or say anything about your past so Xeon won't find out. "

Amy nodded, she is willing to do anything for her to keep her memories and feelings. She went back to the spot she was resting in and opened her arms wide. Her body began to glow and so did the two orbs. They flew to her body and entered.

Maria walked up to her. " You will need to rest another day. "

Amy began to feel sleepy again. Then in less than a minute she was sound asleep once again.

Xeon was hearing everything from behind a wall. He couldn't believe what Maria has done. He felt irritated and wanted to stop everything that was going on. But didn't. He saw Maria give her orbs to Amy, that meant she really wanted Amy to live. Xeon turned his back on the wall and looked up to the ceiling. He took a deep breath, there isn't much he can do anymore. Maria knew well he couldn't interfere with the orbs, only the owner, which was Maria. He turned back and Maria was already sitting on the table waiting for his return. He stood up straight and went to her.

Maria drank her tea when she saw Xeon come back. " Welcome back Xeon." She smiled at him.

Xeon decided to go along with it. He wasn't going to mention anything about what she had done. They talked about other things for awhile then Xavier sent for Maria to come back. Xavier was just like Xeon, although he was the protector of another universe. He was Maria's keeper.

" See you another time Xeon. " Maria said and eventually disappeared.

Xeon remained in silence looking at his empty cup. He then looked at Amy. He got up and walked to her. Looking down at her he scanned her body and detected the orbs. He really wanted to try and take them out but he couldn't. He closed his eyes tightly then looked back at her. " I will do as Maria wishes. I'll let you be. Go back and make your own decisions, with time, you will learn once again. But do know this. You will come back to me in due time. " he said and left her to rest. " I hope I'm doing the correct thing."
