Amy: Ouch, (rubs herears) They're still reallysore!! (checking theearrings)
 
Amy's brushingher newly blow-driedhair as she'swatching the news. Anew pair ofjeans with alime green tang -toptoday. Eggman hasn'tbeen seen in awhile,reports showed. Amy clicked theT.V. off asshe slipped on her tennisshoes. She felt oddtoday, almost like shewas missing something. She tried to shakeit off as she tookthe elvator down. Thesame old feelingof lightness cameover her as elevator speddown.....
 
Amy: *thinking* Sonicactually loves me..... but, he's just sayingthat so I'dcome back,....and getleft alone again....
 
A lightclick and thedoors slid open. Shewalked aimlessly outof the lounge, travelingdown the longside walk. Thesky was startingto cloud up. Amydidn't even seemto notice.
 
Amy: *thinking* Icouldn't believe hewas here, it wasall too sudden! (blushes) Maybe hereally does missme....
 
Amy stopslooking at thepark. She starts towalk back inside.
 
Amy: *thinking* And he saw us... I nevernew he'd getso jealous. I thoughthe'd be gladI moved on, awayfrom him.
 
She stopsas she hears laughter. A couple anda child werelaughing, feeding the geeseand ducks wholived by thepond.
They lookedhappy together. She caughtherself thinking ofSonic again.
 
Amy: (frustrated) Oh, just stopit!! I don't need himanymore!!
 
Shadow: He needs you, though.....
 
Amy jumpedat the sound of Shadow'svoice. Shadow grinned.
 
Shadow: Itrailed him allthe way here....
 
Amy: (surprised) Sha-Shadow?!
 
Shadow: (points) I sawyou watching them......who were you thinkingabout? (looking toward the couple)
 
Amy: (blushes) I justthought they lookedhappy together.....no reason.
 
Shadow:(looking at the trees) Funnything is, I actuallytried to stophim from cominghere.
 
Amy: You did? Why?
 
Shadow: Ithought he'd justmess up yourlife worse,...you're contenthere, aren't you?
 
Amy: (looks to the pond) Ithought so....
 
Shadow: But then I thoughthe was actually going totell you thetruth this time.
 
Amy lookedat him, confused. Shadow continued, not noticing her reaction.
 
Shadow: About how much heenjoyed it whenyou'd chase himor how you'd always wantto be around with him. He really liked how you went
out ofyour way to be his girlfriend. It amazed him how easy it was for you to show your feelings like that. But he was always so afraid of asking you or
even tryingto show interest. Ipersonally think he'sa coward
 
Amy: A coward?! When he saves the wor--
 
Shadow: (interrupting) That's notwhat I meant. He's a naturalwhen it comesthat part. (grins) But hesure as helldoesn't know howlove works orfeels...
 
Amy: (softly) Shadow, why areyou telling methis?
 
Shadow lookedat her then redirected his eyes.
 
Shadow: Iknow what itfeels like tolose a loved one.....(pause)....
 
Amy watchedpain light up inShadow's eyes. It mustbe Maria......
 
Amy: Shadow, I'm sorry, Ididn't mean foryou.....
 
Shadow: What I'm trying totell you Amyis, I know thatpain better thanyou do. Getting kickedthe in the gut feelsbetter that itdoes.
 
Amy: Ijust couldn't stand it.... henever--
 
Shadow: (interrupting) meantto hurt you likehe did. Heloved you Amy, hejust didn't knowhow to show it.......
 
Amy satdown on thepark bench, letting hiswords sink in. Shadowwatched her silently. She suddenly sat up, andflashed him as
smile.
 
Amy: (hugs) Thanks Shadow.
 
Shadow triednervously to hugher back asa warm tear hit hisshoulder.
 
Amy: *thinking* Ilove you, Sonic...........

Amy: We'd better hurry, it lookslike it's goingto rain!!
 
Amy andShadow ran downthe sidewalk, looking forSonic....
 
Shadow: (annoyed) Are yousure he wentdown this way?
 
Amy shruggedher shoulders asthe sound ofthunder was heard.
 
Shadow: I'm not afraid ofgetting wet, it's justgetting wet forno reason thatI have problem with. (looksdown) What's this?
 
Shadow picksup a broken cell phone offthe ground. Amy recognizesit.
