She hummed as she opened the bento boxes. She loved going to these fan club meetings. One they were fun and two, Amy Rose was there. Amy was bubbly and precious. She felt a bit guilty about purposely sticking up conversations target info about her brother. 

She sighed as she locked her door. She wanted to hug her brother so bad. But just showing up, saying "hey! I'm an ultimate life form made by Professor Gerald Robotnik too! I see us as siblings. Let's get along." Would end horribly. Being hated by the brother she adored so much. Being attacked by him and his friends? And the worse possible out come, being imprisoned by gun.

Shadow sat on the old bed board. He didn't chaos control to the ark often. He has so many painful memories of this place. Good, bad, traumatizing. Shadow fell back on the bed. Maria's beef wasn't as soft as he remembered. It did bounce a bit from his body flopping over on to it. He often came to Maria's room when he missed her so much the greif felt paralyzing. 

He sat there staring at the ceiling. The glow in the dark animals. He still remembered most of their names he thought. He tapped his fingers in the bed as he attempted to name them all. 

Shadow jumped when a book fell off the head board. He glared at the thin green notebook. Maria kept a lot of books on the headboard. He frowned as the book wasn't labeled. 

"Odd," he muttered. "Maria labeled everything."

He flipped open the book. 

"I don't understand how I wound up in the room of my last life. But I did."

Shadow continued reading the diary. It didn't take long since reading quickly came easy to the ultimate life form. What soon became clear the was that Gerald had made another ultimate life form who was aging. And they had Maria's memories. They'd were at first very confused until they found proof amongst Gerald's belongings. They took it and hid it as they tried to figure out how to chaos control back to earth. Another fact was she had a child younger than her with her. Shadow couldn't gather much other than she chaos controlled to the ark by accident while running away. 

Shadow frowned as he read they wore his clothes. He hated it when anyone touched his stuff. He got up and walked to his old bedroom. It was right beside Maria's room. He hadn't been in the room since the day Maria passed away. 

He frowned as he turned on the light and saw the room messy with random papers on the floor. A fort of pillows and blankets was made in the corner. 

"They could have cleaned up." Shadow bent down to pick up the papers. There were scribbles he couldn't recognize. He saw a scary stick figure of Dr eggman and people scared and crying. He saw two families and then just two stick figures. He frowned. The kid with the Maria clone didn't understand everything but they knew enough. 

He placed the messy stack of parts on his desk. He moved to undo the fort. He frowned at the small polaroids attached to the blanket with tape.

"I see they found my camera." He plucked a few photos off the blanket. He froze as he recognized the face in the image. They were barely a toddler, but the smile was the same. He dropped the items in his hand before chaos controlling away. 

Amy was super happy. She made a lovely lunch and Sonic had agreed to have lunch with her. And he actually showed up.

Amy giggled as she took a sip of her lemonade.

"You're in a good mood," Sonic joked. Their relationship had been a lot easier since they had that awkward forced talk of him only seeing her as a sister. It did take Amy sometime to accept it, but now their relationship was better than ever. 

"Of course I am!" Amy beamed, "Nothing kept you from showing up for lunch!"

Sonic gave a nervous laugh. "I must be lucky."

A flash of green caught their attention. Shadow made a beeline for Amy as she greeted him with a bubbly smile. 

"Hey Shadow,"
