Okay, so I have been OBSESSED with Shadow lately, (mostly cause I finally got the game!) and I have also been obsessed with ShadAmystory ideas.
So anyway, I watched The Princess Bride the other day, and as usual I was thinking to myself "Who would Play who?" and of course, I thought of Amy and Shadow as the main characters. So then I started giving other Sonic characters roles, and this is the result. Hope you enjoy it!
Cast...
Shadow: Westley (He'll be slightly OOC sometimes)

And Amy as The Princess Bride!
(I own nothing, so stop saying I do!)
Tails, Cream and Charmy lay in bed sick.
Charmy had gotten the flu, and had managed to give it to the other two while they were playing, so here they were. Bored out of their minds.
Sonic couldn't stand to see them so miserable, so he decided to help them out.
"Hey guys," He said as he walked in. "How're you feeling?"
"We're feeling a little better." Said Cream. "Thank you for asking."
"Yeah, but we're bored." Said Charmy.
"Well then, it's lucky for you that I'm here." Said Sonic. "I've got just the thing for you guys."
"What's that Sonic?" Tails asked.
"Well, I have here a book." He took an old book out from behind his back.
"A book?" Charmy scoffed. "What good's that gonna do?"
"Well, my Grandpa used to read it to my Dad when he was sick, and my Dad used to read it to me when I was sick, so now I'm gonna read it to you."
"What's it about?"
"Oh, all kinds of cool things! Fighting, monsters, pirates, revenge, miracles, and true love."
"Oh, that sounds wonderful!" Said Cream.
"Yeah, except the love stuff." Charmy grumbled. "Okay, I'll try not to fall asleep."
"You're too kind." Said Sonic. "Now, let's see…" He opened the book. "It's called 'The Princess Bride'…
The next thing you see is a beautiful countryside, and a medieval era farmhouse.
Amy was raised on a small farm in the medieval country of Westopolis. Her favorite pastimes were riding her horse and tormenting the farm boy. His name was Shadow, but she never called him that.
"Isn't that an awesome beginning?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, great." Charmy replied sarcastically.
Back to the story…
Nothing gave Amy as much pleasure as bossing Shadow around.
Amy walked up to Shadow.
"Farm boy," She said. "Polish my horse's saddle. I want to see my face shining in it by morning!"
"As you wish." Was all Shadow said, before he let to do as he was told.
"As you wish" was all Shadow ever said to her.
On another day, Shadow was chopping wood, until Amy brought two buckets up to him.
"Fill these with water." She said. She paused as Shadow looked at her. "…Please."
"As you wish." Shadow replied.
Shadow walked away, but Amy never took her eyes off him.
That day, Amy was surprised to discover that when Shadow said "as you wish," he really meant "I love you."
That night, Shadow came in carrying firewood and Amy stared at him.
And what amazed her the most was the realization that she truly loved him back.
Shadow noticed Amy staring and smiled at her.
Amy blushed and pointed to a nearby pitcher of water. "Hand me that pitcher." She said.
Shadow picked up the pitcher and handed it to Amy. "As you wish." Shadow replied, softly.
The next day, Amy walked out to find Shadow working on something.
Shadow stopped working when he noticed Amy had walked up to him.
The two of them looked into each-other's eyes. And then, their lips touched, and they became locked in a passionate kiss.
"Wait, wait!" Charmy interrupted.
"What?" Sonic asked, putting down the book.
"Is this gonna be a kissing book?"
"Shut up Charmy!" Said Tails.
"Yeah, we want to hear the story." Cream added. "Please continue Sonic, I want to know what happened next to Shadow and Amy."
"Come on!" Charmy whined. "I wanna hear about the action! When does it get good?"
"Just hold on," Said Sonic, picking the book back up. "We're getting there. Anyway…
Shadow had no money to get married to Amy, so he packed his bags and left to go to sea and seek his fortune.
Shadow held Amy in his arms before setting off for the dock. Poor Amy had tears in her eyes.
"I'm afraid I'll never see you again." She sobbed.
"Of course you will." Shadow said soothingly. "I'll be back, I promise."
"But… what if something happens to you?"
"Don't worry. No matter what, I'll come for you."
"How can you be sure?"
"This is true love Amy. Do you think this happens every day?"
Amy sadly shook her head.
She looked up at Shadow and forced herself to smile. For his sake.
He held her for another minute, kissed her, and left.
As he walked away, Amy watched him go, still crying for fear of her beloved.
"Shadow never reached his destination." Sonic narrated. "His ship was attacked by the dread pirate Chaos, who never leaves prisoners alive. And when Amy heard the news that Shadow had been murdered by pirates-"
"Murdered by pirates is good." Said Charmy.
"She locked herself in her room and neither ate nor slept for days…
Amy sat in her room with an emotionless expression on her face. "I will never love again." She said, without any emotion at all.
Five years later, the castle of Station Square, the capital of Westopolis, was abuzz with activity. Everyone had come to hear an announcement from the prince.
Prince Antoine, son of King Max, had just chosen a bride.
"My people!" Antoine said in a French accent, as he stood at the top of a castle tower overlooking a crowd. "In one month Westopolis will celebrate it's 500th anniversary! At that time I shall merry a woman who was once a commoner like yourselves. Though I doubt you'd find her so common now. Would you like to meet her?" The crowd cheered "Yes!" and a nearby door opened.
A girl stepped through the door for everyone to see, and the crowd became speechless.
"My people!" Said Antoine. "I give you: Princes… Amy!"
The crowd cheered, but Amy's face remained emotionless.
Although the law allowed Antoine to choose his bride, Amy did not love him.
Now, her only joy could be found in her daily ride through the countryside.
"How sad." Cream cried. "Poor Amy."
"Yeah, yeah." Said Charmy. "Can we pleeeeeeeaaase get to the action!"
"Just hold on!" Sonic snapped back. "Okay, where were we? Oh yeah…
Amy took her horse and rode through the nearby woods.
She had ridden quite a far distance from the castle and soon saw a man with a large mustache, standing with a red echidna and a large cat.
"A word Milady?" Said the man with the mustache, bowing. "We are three wandering circus performers who have lost our way. Could you tell me where we may find a village to rest?"
"There isn't a village." Amy replied. "There's nothing around for miles."
"Good… then there will be no one for miles to hear you scream." The man nodded to the cat, who walked up to Amy.
Before she can scream or ride away, the gigantic feline gently grabbed the back of her neck and pressed a nerve, causing her to pass out.
"Perfect." Said Eggman. Now our plan can commence."
