[ P - Pre-Teen ]

After Sabrina got home after she had a great day of fun with her new friend,Darian the Hedgehog. She walked into the house and went to the party room. "Man,it's been a long day! I really had a good time!" She sat down on the couch and turned on the stereo. Amy walked in and sat down by her. "Hey Sabrina,have a good time at the beach?" Sabrina nodded. "Yeah,it was fun!" Amy nodded. "Who was your new friend back there?" Sabrina sighed. "His name is Darian,he's a very sweet person once you get to know him,he said that he would be at the beach again tomorrow!" Amy smiled and nodded. "You like him very much,don't you?" Sabrina nodded. "He is the nicest person I have ever met!" Amy nodded again. "Well,do you love him?" Sabrina's face grew a little red with embarassment. "Well, I um,I--" Amy patted her back and smiled. "I knew it! Your in love with him! Just like I am with Sonic!" Sabrina sighed. "Yeah,maybe you're right! But something is different with Shadow lately,ever since he came to the beach earlier,he's been acting strange,usually we like to talk,he hasn't even spoken to me today!" Amy thought for a moment,then she gasped. "Do you think he's somehow jealous with you and Darian,when I saw him looking at you earlier,he just sighed and walked away." Amy and Sabrina sat there silent for a moment until they saw Shadow walk by,he stopped and sat on the other couch.He closed his eyes and crossed his legs.Amy whispered to Sabrina. "I'm gonna go,maybe you two can get reaquainted." Amy stood up and left the room. Sabrina turned the stereo off and sat back down,she looked at Shadow,he still had his eyes closed,but she knew he was awake. "Shadow,why were you acting weird earlier at the beach,did something happen?" Shadow didn't say anything,he kept his eyes closed. Sabrina got angry and crossed her arms and closed her eyes. "Hmph,fine,then be that way!" Sabrina faced away from him and closed her eyes,a few minutes later,she fell asleep sitting there.Shadow was still awake,he opened his eyes and looked at her,he knew she was sleeping,he quietly stood up and walked over to the sleeping hedgehog. He looked at her face,she had a very sad expression on her,Shadow put his hand on her head and petted her long,soft quill,he took his hand off of her,he saw her shivering.Shadow walked away to another room nearby and got a large blanket,he walked over to her with it and put it over her,the frown that was on her face changed to a fine smile,he smiled and quietly sat down on the other side of the couch next to her and closed his eyes.After a while,he fell asleep there,still sitting next to her.A little while later,Amy walked by to check on them and saw Shadow sleeping next to Sabrina on the couch.She smiled and told Sonic and the others. "Hey Sonic,you should see this!" Sonic,Tails,and Cream stepped into the room and saw the two hedgehogs sleeping.They all smiled. "Awwww,isn't that sweet,Sonic?" Sonic smirked. "I'd hate to admit it,but those two actually do look kinda cute together like that!" Amy pulled a camera out and took several pictures of them. "I want to put this in my photo album!" Everyone agreed and quietly walked back to their rooms and went to bed. The two hedgehogs slept through the whole night.





Shadow woke up the next morning when he felt something touching his shoulder,he opened his eyes and saw Sabrina leaning next to him,still sleeping,Shadow's face turned a little red as he tried to move without waking her.He managed to get out from under her and gently lay her on the couch,he smiled and walked away,he grabbed a towel and ran out the front door.



After a while,Sabrinba woke up when she suddenly heard music blasting into the room,she shot up in the air and landed back on the couch. She saw Sonic turning the stereo down. "Oops,sorry Sabrina,I meant to have it on low." Sabrina nodded sleepily and hopped off the couch to her room. When she got to her room,she saw a small note on her door,she pulled it off the door and read it:


Dear Sabrina,
I am at the beach,waiting for you to come over,sorry about what happened yesterday.
Shadow





Sabrina thought for a moment. "Oh,I almost forgot Darian was going to be there! I need to get ready!" Sabrina ran into her room and got her swimsuit on and towel and ran out the door.Sabrina ran to the beach and got there in a few seconds. As soon as she got there,she saw Shadow sitting in the shade of a palm tree,she walked over to him. "Hey Shadow! What are you doing here by yourself?" Shadow looked at her,she was very beautiful,Shadow sighed very deeply. "You wanna play?" Sabrina's face turned a little red,she nodded. "Sure,why not?" Shadow stood up and grabbed a frisbee from next to him and threw it,Sabrina ran after it and caught it. "Nice throw!" She threw the frisbee back at him,he almost caught it,but it went too high and hit someone in the head. "Ow! Hey,you should really watch where you're throwing those." The person fell to the ground,Sabrina ran over to help,she noticed it was a red hedgehog she hit. "Darian?" Darian turned his face and noticed it was Sabrina. "Hey,Sabrina!" Sabrina pulled his arm up,helping him get back to his feet. "I'm very sorry about that,my friend Shadow didn't catch it in time." Darian looked at Shadow. "Hello there Shadow,very nice to finally meet you!" Shadow just looked away. "Shadow! What is the matter with you?" Shadow looked back to her.He sighed and started to walk away.Sabrina turned to Darian. "Maybe you should come back in a little while,I need to get a few things straightened here." Darian nodded and walked away. Sabrina turned her face back to Shadow,who was almost gone.She ran over to him and put her hand on his shoulder,making him stop walking. "Shadow,I noticed since yesterday that you've been acting strange around me,is there something bothering you?" Shadow just faced away. "It's nothing." Sabrina crossed her arms. "Shadow,tell me what's bothering you!" Shadow didn't want to fight with her,he turned around. "Well,something has been bothering me lately." Sabrina nodded. "What's been bothering you,Shadow?" Shadow was getting a little nervous. "Well,it's about your new friend,Darian.Well, whenever I see him around you,I feel so depressed,lonely,sad." Shadow was facing the ground. "So,why do you feel sad about me and Darian?" Shadow was getting nervous again. "Well,i-it's just that..." Sabrina finally got the idea. "Oh I get it! Are you jealous of me because I'm hanging out with Darian? You are more sensitive than I thought!" Shadow looked up. "Well,yeah,something like that." Sabrina smiled. "There's no need to be jealous,it's not like I'm his girlfriend or anything,we're just good friends.Why,do you have a thing for me or something?" Shadow got even more nervous. "No! I don't!" Sabrina smiled and stood up.Shadow also stood up. "Will this make you feel better?" Sabrina suddenly leaned in and kissed Shadow on the cheek.Shadow's eyes shot wide open,his face turned beet red and he backed away and smiled. Sabrina walked away and waved at him "Bye Shadow!" Shadow's face was still red,he put his hand on his cheek and sighed deeply,he was lovestruck. "I can't believe she kissed me!" He ran away towards the beach where Sabrina ran to.




When Sabrina got to the beach,she walked into the water and started swimming,she sighed and swam underwater,she was underwater for about a minute before she came up for a breath of air.When she got her breath back,she noticed Shadow watching her from the beach. Sabrina waved to him. Shadow waved back and smiled. Sabrina continued swimming,Shadow watched and sighed deeply. "I don't know why I'm feeling this way,but I seem to enjoy it." He sighed again and watched Sabrina swimming.Sabrina walked to the beach and dried off with her towel. Shadow walked up from behind and hugged her. "Thank you Sabrina,you made me feel much better." Sabrina smiled and went to the snack bar,Shadow followed her. When the two hedgehogs got to the snack bar, Sabrina bought her and Shadow a smoothie,they sat down at a table and ate. Shadow sighed as he drank his treat,Sabrina was quietly drinking her smoothie,not noticing Shadow's actions. After about ten minutes, Shadow finished his smoothie and threw the empy cup away. Shadow sighed and watched as Sabrina finished her smoothie,she threw the cup away and stood up. "Wanna play marco polo?" Shadow broke from his trance. "What's that?" Sabrina walked towards the water,Shadow followed her,confused. "It's a water game! When I was an orphan before I met you guys,I was walking by the public pool,I saw two people playing this." Sabrina stepped in the water. "Don't worry,it's only knee-high,it's okay!" Shadow sighed with relief and took off his air shoes,he set them down by Sabrina's towel.He slowly walked to the water and put his foot in,he instantly took his foot back out and backed away until he fell.Sabrina giggled and stepped out,she walked over to him and helped him up. "What's wrong,afraid of a little water?" Shadow smiled. Sabrina grabbed his hand and walked back to the water,Shadow's face turned red as she grabbed his hand,he walked with her to the water,he suddenly felt willing to enter the water,his foot touched the water,he shruddered at the feeling,but he was able to handle it.His other foot went in,he didn't shake this time,when they were both in,Sabrina explained how to play the game. "Shadow, when it is my turn, I will have my eyes closed,you will be trying to keep away from me ,when I say 'marco' you say 'polo'. When I hear that,I will follow the sound and try to catch you,you will keep away from me until I catch you,if I do,then its your turn! Got it?" Shadow nodded. "Okay,ready?" Shadow nodded again. Sabrina closed her eyes,Shadow backed away. "Marco!" Sabrina started moving towards Shadow,he kept backing away. "Polo!" Sabrina's ears perked up and turned to Shadow,she jumped at him,but he jumped back just before she hit the water,she got back up and walked around. "Marco!" Shadow walked behind her. "Polo!" Sabrina suddenly turned around and lunged at Shadow,she hit him and they both landed in the water.They both got back up and started laughing.Sabrina opened her eyes. "Gotcha,Shadow!" Shadow stopped laughing and closed his eyes. "Ready?" Sabrina took a few steps back. "Marco!" Shadow started walking through the shallow water. "Polo!" Sabrina was keeping away from him well. Shadow thought he was close to her,but he was actually moving away from her.Sabrina giggled and splashed at him,Shadow shivered as he got soaked from the giant wave she made. Shadow fell in the water and got back up,Sabrina was still laughing when Shadow jumped at her,they both fell into the water.They got back up and continued playing. "Hey,you're not bad,Shadow!" Shadow smiled. Sabrina suddenly snuck up behind him and started tickling him,Shadow started laughing like crazy,she continued to torture him in laughter as she kept tickling him. "HEY, STOP,HAHAHAHAHA! YOU'RE KILLING ME!!!" Sabrina tickled him for another minute before she stopped and ran to the beach. Shadow stopped laughing and ran after her. Sabrina stopped by her towel and sat down,Shadow sat next to her and put his air shoes back on. The sun was setting,they both stared at it,the sun was glowing a dim orange. Sabrina sighed,Shadow looked at her,her deep blue eyes were glittering in the sun's light.Shadow sighed. "Come on Sabrina,let's go home.Sonic and the others might get worried about us." Sabrina nodded,she picked up her towel,she and Shadow walked off the beach and back to Sonic's house.
