He really struggled to absorb the events since his death.

"SO... lemme get this straight... Shadow and Amy are goin' out... where the hell did that come from??!!"

"Well...she kinda wanted to kill me, realised she was wrong, took me and Tails in, I fought metal Sonic and after the whole complex thing, I asked her out."

"Right..."

It had been two months since project Sonic, but Amy had just plucked up the courage to tell Sonic of her relationship with Shadow. She didn't know whether he would freak out, or get angry. But Shadow understood. She did have a crush on Sonic for years. It could have been hard. Very hard with someone as stubborn as Sonic.

Sonic smiled.

"I'm free!!! No more obsession!"

He promptly ran around the city block seven times.

Flashback

It had been a mere two hours since they escaped that monstrosity of a complex.

"Amy, if I knew you were there, I would have found you."

Shadow was entranced by Amy's emerald orbs. Somehow they had managed to gain a little privacy near the Master Emerald.

"Shadow, I know you would have. Because...I feel exactly the same way."

He smiled. He was overjoyed. She LOVED him!

Their faces drew close, and their lips touched, obscuring the perfect sunset of angel island.

Shadow waited. He had taken Sonic to a restaurant in the hope that if he did get mad, he would compose himself. He didn't, however, expect...this.

"I'm free, uh huh, oh yeah..."

Sonic was the most immature person he had ever met.

Greetings! I know I said the last chapter would be the end, but I couldn't resist writing Sonic's reaction to Amy leaving him alone. Excelsior! ^_^
