  The cat one was named Y/n,.... Y/n the cat.

   Named by Maria. They're an experiment made for a helping hand for Maria's cure for her disease, as them and Shadow are like Maria's service animals. Check up on her, making sure she's standing still and healthy.

   Shadow has been the one closest to her, as for Y/n..... They always slept. But time to time Maria would talk to them constantly like Shadow. She treated them equally!

   Shadow and Y/n's relationship together is questionable. Shadow always glanced at them as for the other paid no attention and sleep, that's what they always did, sleep, sleep, then eat, then sleep again!

   That's what made the hedgehog irritated. It's only been a week or two since they started to walk and adapt to their surroundings of the ship, they learn rather quickly about how to talk.

   Shadow doesn't talk much, only mutters a few words here and there. As for Y/n, being a lazy sleepy-head they actually talk a lot when it comes to talking to Maria. 

    Though Shadow and Y/n doesn't talk to each other much, Shadow couldn't help but have a feeling on his chest, a bitter feeling every time Y/n and Maria talk or even hang out with each other.

   He doesn't fully understand these feelings yet. So he went to his creator, Professor Gerald Robotnik.

"I don't understand feelings. So do you know what this feeling is?"

"I wouldn't understand what you're feeling if you don't explain it."

   Shadow looks down already feeling embarrassed of his small mistake, looking up again the hedgehog rubs the top of his hand of uneasiness to share his feelings.

"This feeling feels like I want be,... Very protective to Maria every time she talks to Y/n. Like when I look at her talking to them I wish I could nudge in but— that would be considered rude and mean..."

".... Do you always think of what if Maria forget they exist?"

"..... Yeah..."

"You're jealous Shadow. You shouldn't be jealous of them, Maria loves you both equally."

   Shadow stood beside him, then thought of the feeling, the word 'jealous'.

    Why shouldn't he be jealous?

"Why shouldn't I be jealous?"

"You and Y/n were made to help Maria not fight for her affection. Plus, if you even think about hurting Y/n. Don't. Their important for Maria's cure..."

   Shadow tilts his head. Confused how a simple lazy cat is important. Not wanting to bother the doctor for any longer he leaves the lab, feeling satisfied enough of the answer he got, even though he really wanted to ask more questions about Y/n being important.

   As he walks down the hall of the cold ship, where clear glass viewed the dark void of ship. His pawed feet against the metal made patter sounds, they didn't receive their clothes known as shoes and gloves. 

   He turns around the corner to hear chattering/talking, he looks ahead to see Maria and Y/n sitting by the glass of the scenery of the space, she holds a book and she smiles with a cat who held a lazy smile.

   Maria perks up seeing Shadow ahead looking at them.

"Shadow! Come and sit with me and Y/n, we're reading more about earths plants."

   Shadow narrows his eyes at Y/n. He stares at him as if he's trying to blow him up with his mind.

   Y/n can see they way he's looking at them and sweat drops with a still smile.

"Hmph."

   He huffs and walks to sit beside Maria. She giggles at his small attitude, he crossed his arms like a small child! 

   While she was talking about the plants she looks at Y/n.

"Which is your favorite?"

"Hmm... This."

   They point at a picture of t/f (type flower). Shadow narrows his eyes more at Y/n, feeling that jealous again....

"How about you Shadow?"

"Huh?"

"Which flower do you like here?"

".... I supposed that one."

   He points at a picture of a flower called 'lavender'.

   After all that, after all the small talking Y/n and Maria had.

    Shadow in fact, doesn't like them already.
