In the two years since she first began her training with Shadow, Amy continued to grow stronger, mentally and physically. Her increasingly toned body could now take much more punishment, and her fighting style became slightly more complex, though it still had her erratic touch. Her proficiency with Chaos Energy was also improving, albeit slowly. Shadow continued to test Amy's new skills by hiding her Chaos Emerald further and further out in more complicated spots picked to challenge her tenacity. She was nearly killed more than once, but her visions, now coming a little more frequently, saved her life. When she did find it, she had to track down Shadow, who was doing training of his own to test his natural speed and not depend on his Air Shoes as much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One day, Amy was channeling Chaos Energy through her form. Shadow watched, as stoic as always, though he can't help but roam over her features with the faintest sense of hunger in his eyes, in spite of himself. Amy's eyes remained closed in concentration as she said, "There's a difference between studying my progress and ogling my body, you pervert." Shadow thought to himself, 'What the hell is she talking about?' Before he could reply, she said, "You know perfectly well what I'm talking about, Shadow."

'What the fu-'

Amy glared and said, "Watch your mouth!"

Shadow glared back and snatched the Emerald away from her. "Ok, Rosy, spill it. How are you able to read my mind all of a sudden?" Amy gave him a neutral look, despite being all giggles inside. "Well, over the past few months, I've been receiving visions; brief flashes of my immediate future. So far, they've only concerned dangerous situations, like your sadistic Emerald hunts." That comment earned a snicker from Shadow. Amy ignored it and continued, "So, I've been practicing stretching my mind out based on the feeling I get when a vision hits. Today was just my first test."

"Hmm, psychic talents... That sounds somewhat similar to Silver's ESP," Shadow reasoned. Amy asked, "Silver? That white hedgehog who was at Sonic's birthday party?" Shadow nodded. "Yes, though it seems he's mainly versed in Psycho Kinesis. Tell me, have your telepathic abilities only recently surfaced or have they always been there?" Amy pondered the question for a moment and answered, "Um, well, I've always been able to use my Tarot cards well, if only to find Sonic. It's how I first met him, in fact."

'I see,' Shadow thought to himself, 'It's only been a hobby to her until now, but now that her mental block is gone, her psychic abilities are beginning to manifest themselves.' Amy's expression turned to confusion as she asked, "Excuse me? What 'mental block'?" Shadow grunted in irritation and said, "First of all, stop doing that. It's rude. Secondly, I'm referring to Sonic. Ever since you two met, he's become your main focus for everything you do. While the motivation helped some aspects of your growth, it's mainly stunted it. Now that he's not the driving force behind your actions – I assume – you've been able to grow and *ahem* develop the way you were meant to."

Amy smirked and folded her arms beneath her now impressive, yet modest chest. "Is that so?" Shadow nodded, but before he could continue, he was suddenly hit by an extremely suggestive vision of Amy and himself, causing him to blush. "What the-!" Amy just giggled perversely. 'Test 2 successful!'

"D-Did you just...?" Shadow asked. "I have no idea what you're talking about," Amy answered innocently, "Continue." Shadow shook off his confusion as best he could. "All right. As I was saying, since your mindset is now more on the woman you need to be, rather than the girl you thought Sonic wanted, your body has been released from that strong mental hold that was over you, and is making up for lost time, resulting in your current growth spurt." Amy shrugged in understanding. "Maybe, but, so quickly? And this much?" She casually ran her hands down her body, causing Shadow's blush to spread uncomfortably. "Mind you, it's just a theory." Amy replied, "I guess." She then noticed Shadow's face and smirked. "You're blushing, Shadow."

'Damn,' Shadow thought. "Don't be ridiculous. Why would I blush because of you?" Amy stepped very close to him and lowered her voice. "Why indeed..." Shadow scoffed halfheartedly and said, "You're getting rather bold for a girl your age." Amy smiled, her face now inches away from his. "I am maturing quickly, you know." Shadow's own voice lowered as he said, "This is true, but caution is needed. You may find yourself in a compromising position." Amy's heart was pounding as she got close enough to kiss him. "Is that right? Maybe I want to be compromised..." Shadow began moving closer as well, in spite of himself. "Your lack of tact will get you in trouble..." Amy whispered, "Let it."

At that very moment, an explosion rang out in the distance, which raised Shadow's attentions. "What the hell was that sound?" Amy looked agitated as she asked, "What sound?"

"We should probably check it out," Shadow said. "Let's go." He then took off towards the source of the explosion.

Amy growled and began stomping the ground. "Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Her fit continued for a few more seconds before she ran after her love.
