Shadow: Dreams of TG Pt. 7

That night, Shadow dreamed back to...her first date with Espio?! Shadow was opening a door...and Espio was there, smiling. He handed her flowers, and Shadow blushed. "Uh...thanks, Espio...you really didn't need to..."
"Nonsense! It's the gentleman's job to buy the lady flowers...at least, that's what Vector said...Never went on a date myself..."
"...That's funny, neither have I." Shadow was desperately looking for some sort of escape from this dream.
Espio smiled. "Well then, I guess we'll figure it out together! Shall we be off?"
Shadow was about to turn tail and run...until she looked into Espio's eyes. She smiled. "I...I can't wait!" She takes his hand, and they begin walking toward town. Shadow was insanely happy...and Terios couldn't wait to see where Espio was taking her! They had only known each other for a short time, but Terios was happier with him than she ever had been!
Espio stops in front of a diner. "I know it's not much, but income is low, and Vector..."
Terios smiles. "It's fine, Espio...as long as I'm with you..." She leaned in for a kiss...

"STOP!" Shadow looked around in terror. That dream...she LIKED it! "FOR THE LOVE OF CHAOS! What is WRONG with me?!"
"Hey, babe...what's wrong?"
Shadow's heart stopped. That voice...it was Espio! She couldn't help herself, she turned around and smiled. "Nothing...now that YOU'RE here!" Terios and Espio spent the entire day together. After giving Terios a kiss goodnight, he left. Terios smiled...then Shadow paled. "I...I just...it's getting worse...I'm becoming that GIRL mentally!!" In a panic, she ran away. She NEEDED to get away. Somewhere to clear her head, remember who she TRULY was. She stopped on the opposite side of the world. She made herself a bed and fell asleep. And again, she dreamed...

Sonic had been freed from Tails' workshop hours ago, and he decided to check up on Amy. He opens the door. "Hey, Ames! You in here? There is this CRAZY story I have GOT to tell you!" He keeps looking around. "Huh...Amy isn't here...that's strange..." He searches Station Square, and could find no trace of her. "This...this is wrong..." Sonic saw Cream, and ran over to her. "Hey, Cream...have you seen Amy?"
A look of confusion washed over Cream's face. "Sorry, Mr. Sonic...I don't know anyone named Amy..."
Sonic couldn't believe his ears. "WHAT?! Cream...she's your best friend! What do you MEAN you don't know her?!"
Cream looks frightened. "I'm sorry, Mr. Sonic...really! I never heard of her! Please don't be sad!"
Sonic ran off. He was going to find Amy if he had to search the PLANET for her!

Robotnik checked on his forces. "Ok, nice Eggman-empire turn out! Let's see, we got egg-robo guys...entire army of E series looking guys...robot guy that I think was the first Terminator...Metal Sonic of course, thanks for coming...and..." He stops. "Who are YOU supposed to be?"
"I'm Big the Cat!"
"...Get the HELL out of my Eggman-empire meeting!" Big walks away sadly. Robotnik smiles at his troops. "Tomorrow, an alien invasion will begin...and YOU will be on the frontlines, defending I, the Great Ivo Robotnik!" The response was...less then stellar. "Oh, I know you are honored...so train hard! Tomorrow, we will defend this planet! ...and then take it over!" Robotnik returned to his preparations...

Male-Shadow returned to the ARK, smiling. "Finally, I have ALL the chaos emeralds! All I need to do, is release my master!" He teleported away, to a very familiar looking wishing well...
