Author's Note: I know 7 Years Later is still in progress, but I've decided to come up with a new idea of a story.

Yes, another Shadilver fanfic!!

Hope you all enjoy it!

Shadow's POV

I woke up in my soft bed, literally sprawled out and hogging all of the bed space. I slowly turned my head to check the time.

The clock read 8:47 am. It sure seemed later than that...

I yawned and turned back to stare at the ceiling. I sometimes enjoyed looking at the white ceiling for reasons I couldn't really explain. My eyes would trace the patterns, or I would just daydream...daydream about my love, my true love...

Silver.

When he came back from the future, I wasn't sure how I was going to react. Happy, or upset, I didn't know for sure. I figured it would just be the same as always, so I would act like myself. But, when I first laid eyes on him something hit me like a bolt of lightning (or, so the humans would say). I didn't know what the feeling was at first, because I had never felt it like this. It was called "love".

I hid it from him for awhile, hoping I would shake my emotions off.

Unfortunately, I couldn't. I had to confess to him.

I remember when I did. I was so nervous, I couldn't keep my composure. But what was more surprising was that Silver loved me back! He told me he had been longing to say those words to me. That would be when I asked him to go on a date with me...

That would mean we would share our first kiss together...

I took him out to a nice dinner that night, then we both walked through the gardens in the moonlight. Later, we walked along the surfs of the beach, holding hands the whole time.

Silver told me, "I love you Shadow, with all my heart." I replied, "No matter what, I'll never leave your side." Then, we slowly felt our lips touch.

Silver's lips were always so soft, and had the taste of strawberries: sweet and full of passion. That would be the kiss of my life...

I felt a hand snake around my neck, and a body pull close to mine. A pair of golden eyes met mine as I broke my gaze from the ceiling. A warm smile was seen on his face.

My darling Silver...

I grinned and kissed him gently, "Good morning, cutie." I always called him "cutie" for apparent reasons.

He sighed, and placed his head on my chest.

"Morning, Shads."

He pulled me into an embrace, wrapping his arms around me. I put mine around his, stroking his smooth quills, and kissing his forehead. He nuzzled into my chest, covering his face with the white fur.

I finally broke the silence, "So, when do you want to go out for dinner?"

Silver and I had been planning for a date together for about a week.

He shrugged in my arms, "I dunno. How does 6:30-ish sound?"

"Good enough for me."

I began to sit up on the bed, and Silver slid off me.

"Can I sleep for a few more minutes? I'm still a little tired."

I grinned and lightly kissed his cheek.

"Sure."

"Thanks."

He pulled the blankets over himself as I stood up and stretched my arms over my head. I opened the bedroom door, and walked down the stairs to the den. I sat on the couch and turned the T.V. on to the news. It wouldn't be for another half hour until Silver came out of the room.

After a day at G.U.N., I took Silver out on our date. Actually, we were going to the same restaurant that we went to on our first date. I wanted this date to be the most memorable night ever.

Not much was said during dinner, until Silver finally asked, "Shadow, why are we here? Why did you bring me here, to where our first date was?"

I smiled a little as I reached into my pocket, grabbing a small box. I was going to tell him, but not now.

"You'll find out," was all I gave him.

After dinner, I led him to our special place: the beach, where we shared our first kiss in the full moonlight.

Silver was so excited, for he hadn't been to the beach for a long time. He twirled and danced along the shore, humming some kind of tune.

I never realized Silver had such a beautiful singing voice, until he sang a song for me on our date.

He was humming that song...

I followed closely, putting both hands in my pockets. I had to tell him, now.

"Silver?"

He turned to me, beaming so brightly, "What is it, Shadow?"

I walked up to him, trying to take the situation seriously. I spoke, hiding my nervousness that was building inside, "We need to talk, Silv."

His smile faded, concern showing in his eyes, "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

I pulled him into a gentle hug, and took a deep breath before I began, "I don't know how to put this..."

"Don't know how to put what?" He hugged me back.

"Silv...I love you, very much. You know that. I know you love me...but..."

I broke the embrace and stared into the golden eyes, which were full of confusion.

My plan was going along perfectly.

"But...I want to take our relationship one further step..."

Now was the time!

I took the small box out of my pocket, and knelt in front of the ivory hedgehog. His expression immediately changed into surprise.

I slowly opened the box to reveal a beautiful diamond ring that glittered in the light of the moon.

"Sh-Shadow...?"

"Silver the Hedgehog...will you marry me?"

...

He placed a hand over his gaping mouth, tears welled up in his eyes.

He then nodded his head.

"Yes...Yes, Shadow. I'll marry you!"

I smiled as I took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto his finger. He was shaking, from either shock, excitement, or both as he threw his arms around me. He kissed me continuously as he laughed, "I will marry you, Shadow the Hedgehog!"

I had never felt so happy in my life, that I began to laugh with him. I wrapped my arms around him, and spun him around in that spot...

That special spot from our first kiss, and now our engagement!

Yay! First Chapter done!!! Will be updated shortly...

What'd you think??
