At the Capulet Tomb It was nightfall, and Shadow sneaked back into Mobiona, Tails following closely. The cousins slowly made their way to the Capulet family tomb, which was a short distance from Ava Maria Cathedral and right next to a regular graveyard. Upon arriving at the cathedral, they knew there were close. Shadow picked up his pace, anxious to arrive at his deceased husband’s side. At last, he arrived at the front entrance of the Capulet tomb. There were a couple torches on each side of the door. Shadow grabbed one of the torches, and told Tails “Stay out here! Go to the other side of the graveyard, and no matter what, don’t come in!” Before Tails could protest, the hedgehog quickly disappeared inside the tomb. He sighed heavily and retreated to the opposite side of the graveyard. But he kept watching the sepulcher. Shadow slowly made his way through the dark crypt. Finally, he saw Sonic’s body laying on a slab. His mate was covered with a thin layer of

Sorrowful Morning The next morning, just as the sun was beginning to appear on the horizon, a certain pair of hedgehogs were sleeping, and holding each other close. One of them softly groaned, then turned over and opened his eyes. Shadow’s heart sank when he noticed the sun’s first light for the day. He slowly stood up and started to get dressed. Then outside in the garden, birds started chirping. Then Sonic slowly woke up, and saw his mate. “Leaving so early, my love?”, he asked sadly. “I wish it wasn’t so,” his husband replied. “The sun’s light is appearing, and now the birds are chirping. I must leave.” “No!”, Sonic protested. “It’s not the sun, it’s the beautiful moonlight! And those are owls, which are birds of the night. Stay, my lovely Shadow!” Said hedgehog smiled, then jumped back on the bed. “Yes! Let me be captured and imprisoned, or put to death. At least I’ll be happy, and Sonic…” Just then, Sonic frowned. “Ugh, it is the dreaded sun

Necessary Deception At the Capulet household, Lord Jules and Lady Aleena were making plans with their servants. Bunnie was taking part in planning the wedding as well. They noticed Sonic enter, and Jules asked “Where were you, my headstrong boy?” Sonic took a deep breath, and said “Making confessions to Friar Antoine. I’ve learned from my foolishness and disobedience. Please forgive me, I’ll go ahead and marry Amy Rose.” Jules smiled with delight and hugged Sonic. “This is how it should be!” Then Aleena kissed Sonic on the forehead and said “I knew you’d come to your senses, sweetie.” Bunnie smiled warmly at the young hedgehog, who smiled back. Afterward, she helped Sonic select his best outfit for the wedding. Next thing Sonic knew, Wednesday night arrived. The moon was up, and his family was finalizing the remaining plans. He closed his bedroom door, and took the vial from its hiding place. The hedgehog was nervous. “What if something goes

Secret Ceremony Sonic was in his chamber, pacing back and forth. Finally, Bunnie arrived. He hurried over to his nurse and asked “What is the news from my dear Shadow?” Bunnie held his hands excitedly and said, “Be at the Ava Maria Cathedral at noon, and you’ll officially become a mate!” Sonic nearly jumped for joy! He grabbed the rabbit by her sides and lifted her up, spinning her around. “Thank you, Bunnie! You’re the greatest!” After what was merely a couple hours, but felt like a couple centuries to Shadow and Sonic, the blue hedgehog arrived at the front of Ava Maria Cathedral, where his mate-to-be was anxiously waiting. They held hands and entered the holy building, hurrying down the aisle. Friar Antoine smiled warmly at the couple before proceeding with the ceremony…which Tails, Knuckles, and even Bunnie were secretly watching! The trio was shedding tears of joy. A Fateful Encounter Later that afternoon, Tails and Knuckles were strolling

What a Dilemma! Sonic was on his balcony, waiting for the sun to set. Shadow would be coming when the moon came up, and they would have their first night together as a mated couple. “Hurry up, moon,” he said anxiously. “Your arrival is the start of my new life with Shadow!” Just then, someone knocked on his bedroom door. Sonic spun around and hurried inside. “What is it?”, he asked. Bunnie entered, her hands wringing and eyes full of tears. “Sugar-hog, I have devastating news.” “Huh? What?”, asked Sonic. “Your cousin Scourge tried to pick a fight with your new mate, his cousin, and his best friend. He wouldn’t listen to their objections, and left Shadow’s friend Knuckles with no choice but to duel. Knuckles fell down, wounded. A furious Shadow then turned on Scourge, who quickly met the same fate as Knuckles.” Sonic’s eyes widened. “You mean…my mate Shadow, killed my cousin Scourge?” “Yes, I’m afraid it seems that way,” Bunnie cried.

They Meet! Guests were entering the Capulet home. Among them were three attendees wearing party masks. They were Shadow and Tails, and Shadow’s close friend Knuckles, a red echidna whom was also a relative of King Acorn. The trio walked alongside the wall, gazing around the elaborate surroundings and the many guests. After noticing some folks dancing, Knuckles said to Shadow “Come on, Shadow! Let’s see you go out there and dance!” “No way, Knuckles! It wouldn’t be a pleasant sight. Besides, my heart is weighed down with depression and sorrow.” “You have it in you,” Knuckles reassured the hedgehog. “Pretend you’re flying on angel wings among the clouds. If you allow yourself to be weighed down by sorrow and depression, you’re damaging your tender heart.” Meanwhile, Sonic was slowly making his way through the crowd. Suddenly, a female voice exclaimed “Sonic Capulet, is that you?!” The blue hedgehog spun around, and there stood a pink hedgehog. She wore

Profession of Love Shadow, Tails, and Knuckles were gathered outside a wall surrounding a garden of the Capulet household. Tails stammered “I can’t believe it! You found someone who loves you back, but he’s one of our sworn enemies…” “Not to mention a guy.” Knuckles added. “I know!”, Shadow snapped. “But I can’t help it. We immediately connected. You wouldn’t understand, unless it happened to you too.” “True enough,” Knuckled said, Tails nodding his head in agreement. Shadow then asked his companions to go ahead and leave, telling Tails he’d be home soon. After they granted his request, the lovestruck hedgie climbed over the orchard wall. He glanced around, searching for a sign of Sonic. Just then, a light appeared in the window overlooking the garden. Shadow hid behind a tall tree, watching. To his delight, Sonic came outside on to the balcony. The blue hedgie leaned on the side barrier, and rested his chin in his hand. After a minute, he

Suggested Proposal Later that day, at the Capulet household, Lord Jules was visited by his longtime friend Count Adrian, and Adrian’s daughter, Amy Rose. Count Adrian was a red hedgehog, and Amy Rose a pink hedgehog. Jules said to his friend “I’ve taken the same oath as Lord Montague, and we’re also bound by the same penalties. I sure hope we can keep the peace!” Count Adrian nodded, then told his friend “You’re both quite prosperous and honorable. It truly is a shame that you’ve been enemies for so long. Anyway, what do you think of my proposal?” Amy Rose grinned at her father’s question. Lord Jules trailed off in thought, then replied “Dearest Amy Rose is certainly a wonderful match for my oldest son. But I’d really like it if we could wait a couple more years. Sonic is sixteen, and he still has a lot to learn. That being said, I am having a party tonight, and you and your daughter will be the guests of honor! Amy Rose, feel free to meet Sonic and get to know

Prologue There was a beautiful and prosperous city by the name of Mobiona. Among the citizens of Mobiona were two particular well-to-do families, the Montagues and the Capulets. For reasons unknown, there was a long-time enmity between the two households. Then one fateful evening, a pair of star-crossed lovers, one from each bloodline, finally puts an end to this senseless feud once and for all. Will it be tragic, or will there be no broken hearts after all?... Montagues vs. Capulets A couple servants of the Capulet household were walking toward the market. One was a white female bat named Rouge, the other was a male nutria with light blue fur named Dave. Dave carried a sheathed sword and shield at his sides. Rouge didn’t have any weapons, but as would soon be revealed she was an excellent fighter. “I won’t tolerate anyone from the Montague household!” Dave declared. “If they give me even the slightest insult, I’m letting that have it.” He then placed his
