Wedding Dress

(SonAmyShad)

.

Amy walked down the aisle, the white wedding dress she was wearing softly moved along her steps making look as if she was floating. Everyone looked at her in awe, amazed by her beauty. Some laugh, some smiled, happy for the soon to be married couple.

And Shadow was waiting for her.

.

Shadow was jealous of Silver. At least he could go back to the past and redeem his mistakes. Shadow couldn't do that and it was too late now.

"You know, it's not too late."

"She is getting married next week, it is too late."

Shadow and Silver were currently at their shared apartment. Silver watched from his couch, watching Shadow play the piano was actually amusing to him. He didn't see him as the one to play classical instruments, maybe a guitar or drums but never a piano.

"She is not married yet, you can still tell her how you feel." Silver said. He was the only one who knew of Shadow's love for a certain pink hedgehog. He was the one who introduced them after all.

"What if you go to the past and stop me from falling in love with Amy goddamn Rose." Shadow pressed the piano key's very hard, showing his anger.

"You were going to fall in love with her anyway, I can't alter the past that would just mess up the fu-" Silver shut himself off. One of his flaws was talking too much and this was one of those moments.

"Wait ... you knew this was going to happen?" Shadow tilted his head, giving Silver a cold look. "And you still introduced me to her?"

"Hey, I was just speeding things up! It was going to happen anyways and-"

"I knew I should have moved to another city."

"It was still going to happen, one way or another."

Shadow cursed everything under his breath. Was this destiny? And if so, why hate him so much?

.

"I don't believe in destiny."

"Really? You don't believe that we are meant to do something in this world?"

"No, you can do whatever you want."

Amy let out a small laugh, Shadow's ideology amused her, "I do believe in it."

It was a snowing day and Amy and Shadow walked hand by hand. Nothing romantic, but Shadow insisted because Amy wasn't wearing any globes and didn't want her hands to get cold.

"Sometimes I wonder," Amy said softly, "If everything is predetermined by destiny."

.

Well if destiny existed, fuck it. Shadow kept playing the piano, he had composed this song the night after Amy told him that she was marrying Sonic.

He had it mastered and even wrote lyrics for it. Shadow thought that maybe with this song, he could have some peace of mind.

Confessing his feelings with this sonata. The lyrics he wrote were too personal and of course, if he were to sing them, it will ruin the wedding.

"Shadow ... are you alright?"

Shadow looked over ti his white friend, he was still looking at him from the couch but he shrugs it off.

"Yes." Shadow responded, "Anyways, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you go back to the future soon?"

"I was invited to the wedding, so I decided to come."

"You already know how it turns out, why come?"

Silver looked at his friend. He was doing bad, circle under his eyes, losing way too much weight and pale. He wished he could him the truth but interfering with destiny wasn't any good. After all, all of this was mean to be as well.

"Curiosity."

.

It was the wedding day and everyone seemed to be having to be happy but for a certain black hedgehog. No one took it in the wrong way however, Shadow was known for his 'special' attitude.

It was an outside ceremony in the vast fields of Fairy Forest. There was a small chapel decorated with beautiful blue and pink flowers. The guests' chairs were decorated in the same manner. The carpet that leads to the chapel was replaced by a sheet of flower petals.

Shadow was by the side, right behind his black piano. Sonic was already on the chapel, waiting for his soon to be bride.

"Think positive Shadow. In a parallel universe, you are the one standing there, waiting for Amy."

"Lucky bastard," Shadow said between his teeth.

Sonic smiled at him, one out of pity. Shadow growled he couldn't help but feel angry at him. Sonic knew that he loved Amy but in all honesty, he won fair and clean.

What bothered him the most was that after years of leaving Amy alone, he comes backs and takes her.

Shadow noticed the guest stand up, meaning that the bride was here. He sat down, ready to play his song the moment he sees Amy enter the room.

But that never happened.

Shadow didn't know if it was Amy's un-compared beauty or because of the wedding dress she was wearing.

Maybe Amy was right. Sonic and Amy were always meant to be together. Amy saw it when she was young and now she was happily completing her destiny.

Amy began to walk down the aisle but a few seconds passed and she turned to look at Shadow. It was strange of him that he hasn't played the piano yet.

The moment their eyes connected, Shadow just couldn't help it. His ears lowered and his eyes were filled with love.

.

"Sometimes I wonder," Amy said softly, "If everything is predetermined by destiny."

Shadow stopped walking as he noticed Amy's face change in expression. It was snowing heavily now and noticing this, Shadow pulled out his transparent umbrella and covered both of them.

"It doesn't matter if you are in the wrong or right path ... It doesn't affect me, it shouldn't affect you either," said Shadow.

Amy looked up at Shadow, "What do you mean?"

"It means that I determine my own destiny."

.

Shadow's memory broke off the trance and he immediately sat down to play the piano.

He took a deep breath and began to play. He had composed this song to express his feelings. It wasn't simply music he had written lyrics as well.

He got close to the mic which was meant to be there so the guests could hear the piano but instead, he used it to sing.

Some say it ain't over 'till it's over
But I guess it's really over now
There's something I gotta say before I let you go
Listen...

Amy looked at him a bit suprised. She didn't know the song was supposed to have lyrics on it. She stopped in the middle of the aisle and waited for Shadow to finish his singing his song.

When you have a fight with him
And I sometimes see you crying and suffering because of it/him
I feel hope
But I have a heartache unnoticed
Then just a hint of your smile makes me composed
For fear that you might know how I feel
And that then we might drift apart
I bate my breath and bite my lips
Please leave him for me

"Hey, Shadow! I want to introduce you to someone" Silver said as he approached the black one.

"I really don't have the time-"

"This is Amy Rose. You may know her already but I just wanted to officially introduce you to her."

Of course, he knew her. Amy Rose, world heroine, and leader of the Resistance. He didn't care much about her but he respected her.

"Nice to meet you, Rose."

"Amy, please. Call me Amy."

They shook hands and that was the beginning of Shadow's path to love her.

The guest looked at each other in surprise. They knew what was going on.

Shadow was confessing his feelings to Amy Rose.

Baby, please don't take his hand
'Cause you should be my lady
Look back at me; I've been waiting for you for long
When the music echoes
Then you will spend the rest of your life with him
Though I've prayed every night this day would never come
The wedding dress you put on (dress, dress)
Girl, the wedding dress you put on (dress, dress) (that's not me)
The wedding dress (dress, dress)
Oh, the wedding dress you put on, oh, no

Shadow kept playing the piano as he let more memories come to his mind.

"Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be with the blue one?"

Shadow asked Amy. The two of them had come back from a very important mission in which Sonic and Shadow were in bad condition. Broken ribs and deep wounds.

"He will be fine. I care more about you at the moment!" said Amy as she sat on his couch, wrapping a bandage around his arm.

"I am the ultimate life form, I don't need-"

Amy interrupted Shadow, they have known each other for three months already and it seems like he can't understand it yet. "I don't care if you are the ultimate life form or not. You are hurt and I am going to take care of you."

"Why?"

"Because you are my friend."

Shadow looked over at Amy who was holding back her tears already. How much he hated seeing her crying, especially if it was because of him.

But at the moment, this was important.

I hated you because you never knew my feelings
So, sometimes, I wished you would be unhappy
Seeing that I've already run-run-run out of tears
That I habitually speak to you when I'm actually alone
And that I've felt so uneasy every night
Maybe I've known this would happen
I close my eyes and dream an endless dream
Please leave him for me

"That girl totally likes you! You should ask her out!"

Amy and Shadow were doing their weekly hang out by walking in the park. A young beautiful hedgehog girl had passed by them and smiled flirtingly at Shadow.

"Not interested," Shadow replied.

"Why? She is beautiful!"

"... I have someone else in mind." Shadow looked at the side, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Oh! Is she pretty?" Amy asked.

"Very."

"Smart?"

"The smartest hedgehog I know."

"Personality?

"Kind."

"Is it me?"

"Yes"

Shadow turned around, completely red from cheek to cheek. "That's not what I mean!"

Amy laughed, as she gave Shadow small pats on his back.

"Don't worry Shadow," said Amy, wiping away her tears. "I like you too."

Shadow kept singing as he closed his eyes. How much he wished to go back to time and just tell her that he likes her too.

And a lot.

Baby, don't take his hand
'Cause you should be my lady
Look back at me; I've been waiting for you for long
When the music echoes
Then you will spend the rest of your life with him
Though I've prayed every night this day would never come
The wedding dress you put on (dress, dress)
Girl, the wedding dress you put on (dress, dress) (that's not me)
The wedding dress (dress, dress)
Oh, the wedding dress you put on, oh, no

Shadow was carrying an arrangement of roses. He was walking by a flower shop and he couldn't stop thinking of them. They had power over him as if to tell him that his mission in life was to give them to Amy.

He was walking to her apartment but as soon as he got there he stopped.

Sonic and Amy were talking very happily outside Amy's apartment.

Shadow didn't know how much he loved Amy until the moment he saw her kiss Sonic.

He was heartbroken and since then, it had stopped working.

The Roses were never delivered and that thought still hunted his mind.

Shadow kept eye contact with Amy. She was already crying but there was no going back now.

Silver smiled at the scene. Everything was playing out just like destiny had determined. Not matter what time he went back to, these two were always meant to meet.

Always meant to be together.

Silver whispered, "You got this grandpa."

Please be happy with him so that I can forget you
Please forget how insignificant I looked
Though it's going to be deathly hard for me for a fairly long while, no oh

Shadow finished playing the piano and as fast as he could, he ran towards Amy. Shadow grabbed her hands and he gave Sonic an apologetic look.

Sonic nodded, knowing well that now it all depended on Amy.

"Amy ..." said Shadow, "I love you."
