      And the goddess Amy Rose stayed to live with Shadow and Sonic in their forest. She didn't mind staying with them. Moreover, with such new friends, she felt a little lighter and better at heart. She had already forgotten about her parents with old acquaintances and that village. And Shadow was glad to meet this girl. He could not even think that there were other nagas like himself. He always thought that he was probably the only one of his kind left. The striped one was interested in hearing from the pink one about other nagas and the fact that they live in villages, far from the eyes and ears of both people and Mobians. True, she did not immediately decide to stay at first. — Okay. I will go. — Amy said. — Where are you going? — Shadow didn’t understand. — How to where? To my home. And I don’t want to disturb you and distract you from your family affairs. — No. Don't go! — Sonic tried to stop Amy and grabbed her by the tail. — Please stay with us! — Well, I do not know. — Rose doubted. — Your daddy will probably be against it. — What you? What you? — Shadow stretched out his arms and proved the opposite, crawling up to the guest and taking her hand. — On the contrary, I will only be glad if you live with us. And it doesn't matter how different we are. True, I have only one bed. You'll probably have to make room a little. — What if we somehow increase the size of the bed or make a second one just like it? — Sonic suggested. Shadow poked his chin with his index claw, thinking and said: — You can do both. True, we need to get more fresh and not rotten branches. — Well, there are plenty of them in the forest. Let's collect. — Amy answered and decided to hit the road. — You go? — Yes, yes, just talk for a couple more minutes. — Shadow answered and turned to Sonic. —You also don’t want her to return to their village, since they hate her there?” — Certainly. Just don’t tell her about this, otherwise she might get upset. — I didn’t mean to. Moreover, I thought that I was probably the last and only one left. Apart from my parents, I have never seen other nagas anywhere. Therefore, I wouldn’t even mind if she lived at least next to us and visited us often. But since she doesn’t even have a place to live, let her stay with us. Only... She really won't eat you? — No, she is a vegetarian. — Who? — Shadow didn’t understand. — She. Ve. Ge. Ta. Ri. An. — Sonic explained syllable by syllable. — She only eats fruits and vegetables. Can't stand meat at all. True, I didn’t know if you would get along with her... After all, you only eat meat with us. — So what? I don't care who eats what. Even you, Sonic, are what you eat. Oh, I wanted to say... Um... Never mind! Sonic laughed lightly. — You're funny, dad. — No, I just can’t help but think about food. Even when I look at you. I just want to eat you, even though I’m trying not to think about it at all. I would never eat you when I became attached to you. — Shadow explained. Then they also left the house and followed Amy into the forest to collect a bunch of branches. When they collected all the contents, they began to make not one new nest, but even two. One big one was for Amy, and the second slightly smaller one was for Sonic. The small nest was between two large ones. This is how the three of them began to live now. The days turned into months and gradually Amy and Shadow began to realize that, despite their different tastes and appearances, they were similar to each other. This was due to the fact that both of their parents tried to devour them both as children. Amy even felt sorry for the unfortunate Shadow when he told his tragic story, which he had previously told to Sonic. The sympathy of both nagas for each other increased and they wanted to be together even more. Sonic noticed that Shadow and Amy were falling in love with each other and began to pay more attention to each other than to him. It was as if he was being ignored. On the one hand, the kid was offended that no attention was paid to him. On the other hand, he was glad that they were so happy together and smiling, looking into each other’s eyes. Therefore, the hedgehog tried not to be jealous of any of them towards each other. Let them be happy together, rather than be upset that he tries to separate them or distract them. Now Sonic began to live on his own. He himself began to take his favorite food from the refrigerator, sometimes going outside for a walk, because they did not pay attention to him and did not notice that he was missing. The baby basically lived on his own now. However, one night before going to bed, when the hedgehog was sitting near the window and looking at how the first snow began to fall from the sky, Naga and Naginya still drew attention to the baby, who was sitting near the window and was somehow sad. They immediately remembered him and immediately realized that they were so carried away by themselves and their attitude that they completely forgot about him. Apparently that's why he's so sad. In part, he was really sad about this, but he was also sad in his heart that summer and autumn had passed so quickly and it had become so cold that winter had come. Moreover, in winter there will be one significant day that he does not know how to explain to Shadow and Amy. The latter crawled up to him and hugged him from both sides, which scared him a little. Fortunately, he only twitched slightly and was silent. — Why are you so sad, Sonic? — asked Shadow. — Did someone offend you? — asked Amy. — What do you? I look at the snowfall and just feel so sad. — Why? — they asked at the same time. — I don’t know how to explain it to you. It's just... It's my birthday the day after tomorrow. After every beginning of winter... And for a long time I didn’t know how to explain this to you. — So you could just tell us that it’s your birthday the day after tomorrow. We would have understood everything anyway. — Amy explained. — And don’t be sad over trifles, Sonic. Remember that we are always there and can always support you in any difficult moment. — And we love you very much, Sonic. — If something bothers you, contact us immediately. — Shadow added finally. Sonic smiles back. — Thank you. The hedgehog first jumps into Shadow's hug and he hugs him back. Sonic then hugs Amy and she hugs him back. Afterwards, both the naga and the hedgehog go to bed in their own nests to sleep. Sonic was glad to go to sleep that night with a smile, knowing that they had not really forgotten about him. And the main thing is that he told them about his birthday and now he won’t have to worry long about how to explain it to them. Otherwise, it would have lasted until the birthday itself and would have had to be cancelled, because no one knows about it.
