Maria: Sooooooo, what's the gameplan for today?
Maria and Shadow are walking down a hallway, exlporing the base.
Shadow: Hmmm, we haven't truly checked out the cryopod room, so we can explore there.
Maria: Sure, sounds like a plan.
Shadow notices Maria's face start to droop a little.
Shadow: Everything ok? You've been seeming a bit down lately.
Maria shakes her head and puts on a fake smile.
Maria: I'm totally ok Shadow. Don't you worry about me.
Shadow: Maria, I'm your best friend. It's in my job description to worry about you. Just tell me what's wrong.
Maria stares at Shadow for a bit and then tears start to slowly form.
Maria: I... I don't got long Shadow.
Shadow's face turns to a look shock and confusion.
Shadow: Wh.... what do you mean? G-gerald said that tests were going-
Maria: I overheard him talking to Ivo and Julien. My body would reject the Chaos energy and make my disease worse.
Shadow takes a step back and takes a deep breath and then punches the wall in pure anger, creating a dent into the wall. Maria sees Shadow shake uncontrollably. She reaches out slowly towards Shadow.
Shadow: How long?
Maria hears the tears in his voice as he asked. Maria retracts her hand.
Maria: 3 months, maybe less.
Shadow sighs and wipes the tears away as he turns to face Maria.
Shadow: Ok... ok! What do you want to do? Where do you want to go?
Maria looks at him in surprise.
Maria: Shadow, I can't-
Shadow: Screw that!! You got 3 months? Let's make the most of that. I'll take you anywhere you want to go, no matter what!!!
Maria: You would?
Shadow: Of course. If I can't cure your disease, then I'll bring you the happiness you deserve!
Maria smiles as tears start to fall.
Maria: Thank you Shadow, that means so much to me.
Shadow nods and points down the hall.
Shadow: Then let's go.
Maria: Now?!
Shadow: What better time to do this?
Maria: Ok!
The two begin to run as they suddenly hit a wall. The two look up to see a younger Abraham Towers wearing a basic G.U.N combat uniform. He smiles and shakes his head as he licks the two up.
Abraham: So, what're you two troublemakers doing now? Stealing ice cream again?
Maria: N-n-no!!
Abraham: *chuckles* Ok ok, I'm not gonna turn you in. Just try not to get into any trouble ok? Your gramps worries enough as is.
Shadow and Maria look at each, giving each other a knowing look.
Shadow: Right, we won't.
Maria: Yep!
Abraham looks between the two and sighs.
Abraham: You two suck at keeping secrets. What're you two planning?!
