Fist of all, I would wish to apologize for not uploading on schedule. But here is the last chapter of "Changing". I would like to thank everyone who supported the story, and I am glad to announce that we reached my personal goals: 3000 readers (Holy shit, WTF?), 40(+) reviews, 20(+) favourites and 10+ followers. I would say you guys and gals are awesome, but that would be out-of-character for me, so I'll just continue on as usual.

Alicathewolf45: This was before school. I think I wrote that, so there is no grownups there. Anyways enjoy this final chapter.
xXDarkAngelKittenXx: I think you misread the story a fair bit. I'm pretty sure I wrote that people was pointing at Sonic and yelling "Backstabber". Anyways, ready for the moment of truth? Time to find out what happened…
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen: The last Chapter of:
Changing: Chapter 17
Dear Diary
Haven't written anything in a long time, and this will be the last time. Let's go: This is the story… of me…
It's funny how life always changes. At first I thought I was doomed to a life of pain and suffering. However, That changed…
"They call me Shadow" I said with my usual deep, monotone voice. "And yours?"
"Amy… Amy Rose"
I thought I was on my own, the only one who felt like this. But I wasn't. She felt my pain. She saw through my emotionless façade. She begged for me to take her in, to save her from being all alone. I didn't trust her at first, however…
I thought about Amy: Who are you? What are your true intensions?
…What I didn't know at the time, is that I saved myself as well. Even though I didn't trust her at that moment, I always knew that she wouldn't betray me. Her actions proved that I was right…
…"You're full of SHIT!" Rose yelled, spitting in her face…
At that very moment, I knew that she was my friend. To any other person that might not sound like a whole lot, but to me, it was important. For some reason, I felt that this moment would change us.
Hmm… Change… Us. Hehe, I growing soft. Oh Chaos, help me. Speaking of which, I was suddenly granted superpowers by a mysterious emerald, a so-called Chaos Emerald, and I uncovered the secrets of my past…
"So… it's true… I am a weapon"
What a fucking downer, eh? Like everything else, I just said "fuck it" and went on with my days. The infamous winter party was announced, and I asked Rose to join me there, with my secret intensions in the back of my head. Then that blue, drunk bastard spoiled it, making me lose my shit and storming out of the place. However, the night had a happy ending anyways…
…And before we knew it, we were kissing in the moonlight…
Life changes… Sometimes it takes effort to change it, and sometimes it only takes a few centimetres…
(Flashback)
Shadows POV
I watched my blue counterpart slowly open his eyes, seeing the disbelief in his eyes. His hands instantly moved to his neck. Touching it, looking for the cut that was inevitably there. To his surprise, there was no blood, no cut. He turned his head slightly, seeing the knife stuck in the ground. I huffed in disgust before leaning down to his ear, mustering all the wrath and anger I could, and telling him:
"If you ever do anything like that… If you even ever come close to her again, that knife… won't… be… in the… ground…"
I stood up, and he sat up. He looked at his hands, eyes wide, before mumbling something.
"What did you say?" I asked.
"I'm sorry"
"Way too late for that…"
"I'm sorry"
"Get over yourself" I said before turning away, walking over to Rose.
"I'm sorry!"
He was shouting now, sobbing and begging. I ignored him as questions came to from the crowd:
"What happened?", "How did you do that?"
I didn't answer them, I just took the crying Rose's arm and led her away from the crowds.
"I'M SORRY!"
(End Flashback)
Whatever you do, you can't stop change… And right now…
"Shadow!" I heard Rose shout as she approached me.
I couldn't be happier…
Goodbye forever…
Shadow the Hedgehog
"What's that?" she asked.
"Nothing important… Well, nothing important… anymore" I said as I closed the diary.
"Hmm… The Diary of a Shadow" she read from the cover. "Didn't know that you had a diary, Shadow"
"Well, I don't… Not anymore… I've put the past behind me, and I'm ready to face the future… With you"
Finally finished. Hope this chapter wasn't too confusing. To help you understand, it's kinda a recap of the entire story. And there will be a sequel, and that will be a CO-OP with one (or more?) of you. PM if you're interested.
Tell me what you think of the chapter: Review!
