When I See You Again (Shadaria)

Shadow Remembers His Feelings For Maria With Amy's Help

Shadow's POV 

I rush out of Freedom Fighters Headquarters. I'm jealous of the love Sonic and Amy can share. I can't do that because the one I care for died because of me. If I weren't created she wouldn't have died at such a young age. A GUN soldier shot her at 16 years old and I was 19 when I was sent to Earth. I wonder if she is watching over me in Heaven. I miss her so much. If I had the chance I would take the bullet for her so she could live till a ripe old age. If I could have spent more time with her I would have expressed how much I care for her. I hit my head on a tree and fall down stunned. Amy helps me up and asks me. "What happened? Are you ok, Shadow? Are you jealous of Sonic and I since you lost Maria whom you loved?" A flashback occurs. I would have told her I had this warm feeling inside my heart since I opened my eyes in the tube holding me to see her smiling.  I smiled back at her. She told an old man that I was awake. He looked at me in excitement and said my name was Project Shadow. The girl says to me. "I'm going to call you Shadow, ok?" She smiles at me. I decide to smile back because she seems nice and she looks pretty. She puts her hand against the glass of the tube. I put my larger hand where her hand is placed on the other side. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. What is this warming feeling inside my chest when I look at her?

 The next day, the Professor let's me out to walk on my own two feet. They have red, white, and black air shoes as the Professor calls them. Maria gives me a tour of the ARK. We become close friends. We tell each other everything, except for why our faces become hot around each other. I don't why though. We spend a lot of time together on the viewing deck looking at the Earth. We both want to go there together and see the sights. A year later I'm still feeling this way around her. I don't understand why I become nervous around her at times. I don't know what to do. Today is my nineteenth birthday. I'm so excited to spend time with Maria...and the Professor. She walks in with her grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. I decide to run up to her because I'm excited to see her. I run up to her give her a loving hug and close my eyes. I don't like it when other people look at her strangely. I want to Chaos Control them off the ARK. They act strange around her too. I don't like it. She's only mine, not anyone else's. Wait...what am I thinking? She's my friend...right? We celebrate my birthday together. They give me presents. The Professor gives me an upgrade to my inhibitor rings and a quill brush. What I like to keep myself presentable. Maria gives me a picture of the Professor and herself. We say goodnight and I talk to Maria for a while before going to bed. I give her a chaste kiss on her forehead. My face becomes hot, but I shake my head to get rid of the feelings inside of me. I go to bed and dream about Maria and a few kids are calling us mom and dad. I don't understand why I'm dreaming about Maria and the kids. 

The next day is the last day we will spend together in this world. We do our usual routine by having breakfast and going to the viewing deck for a few hours. We see ships with a G symbol on their ships. I grab her hand and start running towards the escape pods. I come out of my flashback because I don't want to become sad today. I remembered my feelings for Maria. I love her more than a friend would. I decide to talk to her since she knows about the strange feelings Mobians have when they care for each other deeply. She is the one who helped me remember the promise I made to Maria. I smile gratefully  at uer. I say. "Amy thank you for helping me remember the love I have for Maria." She replies. "Your welcome, Shadow, but I thought you already realized that earlier. I reply. "Remember I hit my head, so I probably forgot those feelings until you helped me remember them." "Oh, okay." We walk to her house to have a therapy session with her. She's a therapist. We walk into her house. It's very pink. There are different shades of pink throughout her house. We sit down on the couch and start talking about daily things we've done recently. 

I decided it was time to ask my questions. I say to her. "Hey, Amy. I have been feeling lonely because I don't have Maria around anymore. I had these warm feelings inside my chest whenever I was around Maria. My face would become hot whenever I was embarrassed or she laughed at my attempt at making jokes." I smile at the memory. Amy says to me. "Shadow you truly did love Maria with all of your heart." I reply. "Yes i did love her very much." Oh Maria I wish you were here with me, so I could tell you how I feel. Amy giggles.
