Not a date date? [CLOSED]

Character(s): Shadow and Maria Robotnik

Location: Out in town eventually!

Rating: PG?

Open/Closed/Finished: Closed

Summary: Shadow had promised to show Maria the town once she got better.

Shadow sat beneath a tree near the girls dormitory, arms crossed behind his head as he waited for Maria to show up. Her health had gotten a lot better in comparison to when she first arrived, which was a relief to him. It seemed like the medicine in this world worked a lot better than their own.

His eyes were closed, focusing his other senses to detect movement around him. It was so much easier to hear the soft rustle of leaves or the chatter of passing cadets and SeeDs like this. His features twitched as he heard light footsteps approach him, knowing who they belonged to.

Maria was certainly thankful now that Grell had picked her up. The young woman had truly appreciated the other's help, and it was now that she was putting it into action. Her usual blue dress has been replaced by a pink one, (http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/168/8/AAAAApao1qAAAAAAAWiDkQ.jpg) and a reminder and a few minutes had her hair in a very different style as well (http://www.weddinghaircolors.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/quick-updos3.jpg). It's made her a few minutes late, unfortunately, but Maria had managed to make good time coming over.

"Shadow! I'm here."

This, of course, got laughter from Maria, a slight blush tinging her face at the look he was giving her. She pulled the skirt up a little at the edges, shifting somewhat.

"What do you think?"

"Yes! I had some help, too. I thought it'd be nice to get something else to wear, besides my plain dress. Especially with what interesting clothes others seem to have around here."

She smiles again, bending down to take Shadow's hand cheerfully.

"Of course! I'm always ready with you."

Maria smoothed her skirt down a bit, still a bit tinged as she squeezed his hand in reply.

"Where are we heading first?"

"Let's walk around a bit first. It's still nice enough out today."

"Very well, I think. Some of the things are hard to understand, and it's all very different from the ARK."

She paused in thought, smiling brightly again.

"But.. I don't mind. It's a nice kind of challenge, and I'm learning things I've never even heard of before."

"Sometimes," she said after a long pause. "I miss the ARK, my grandfather, all the scientists...

"But... I still have you. I'm happy about that. And this place is beautiful and safe... and I've only been feeling better the longer I stay here. I do miss the ARK, but this place feels like home. If I had to leave it, I'd miss it too."

"...No. Without everyone there, it's just a cold space station."

She squeezed his hand tightly, her eyes half-closing and Maria sighing softly but sadly.

"...But, that's why I'm glad I'm here."
