Then to both her and Nebula's surprise, she turned into something incredible, her arms and hands turned into wings, her fur turned to feathers and her mouth formed a beak and the pink feathers on her head became light pink. She has become a bald eagle!

"YAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Amy cheered out but it let out a loud screech as she flaps her wings for the first time, she flew around in the air and dives towards the ground, landing on her feet.

"Yes, I did it Nebula! I have become a shape-shifter!" Amy cheered in telepathy.

"Incredible! You did it! You did it, Amy! Whoohooo!!!!" Nebula cheered out loud.

"How do I turn back?" Amy wondered.

"Feel your confidence, Amy" Nebula said to her.

Amy nods and takes a deep breath to focus to turn back to a hedgehog. She closed her eyes and felt how her body began to change again. Her wings become arms and hands, her feet turns furry and regains the boots, the feathers turn from white and pink to completely pink and becomes fur, her beak turns to a muzzle and her clothes appears on her again.

"Wow! Did you see that?!" Amy squealed.

"Yeah, here I come!" Nebula said and turns into her raven form to get to Amy, then turned back to a hedgehog and pats her shoulder, "You did a good job Amy"

Amy giggled and looked at her left arm to see that she got the wing mark of an eagle.

"I got my mark now" Amy said, rolling down her sleeve again

"Yeah, you finished your task as well. Let's tell the others" Nebula said. Amy and Nebula walked back to the village to show the rest of the natives she finished her task.

------------------

Shadow and Silver in their animal forms were doing a head-butting battle with their noggins. Silver was very strong but Shadow is a lot stronger than him.

"Come on, pony boy! I can do this all day!" Silver said in telepathy, pushing his head harder against Shadow.

"Hmph! Not today, Bambi!" Shadow grunts in telepathy and pushed his head back.

"Ugh! Oh, yeah?! Let me hear you whinny, pony boy!" Silver smirked.

"Don't ever call me that!" Shadow neighed angrily and knocks him aside.

"Ow! Sheesh! It was just a joke!" Silver gets up and head-butts Shadow again, "Where's your sense of fun?"

"In my ass" Shadow glared at him.

Nearby, Sonic and Amethyst where watching the two struggle and now Amethyst was wondering how Amy is doing.

"I hope Amy gets her mark soon. Because I'm curious what animal she will be" Amethyst said.

"Over here, Mom" She suddenly heard her daughter's voice in her head.

"Amy?" Amethyst said and turns to see a pink eagle.

"Mom, it's me, Amy. I got my mark now and I am a shape-shifter" she said in telepathy.

"Oh, my goodness!" Amethyst said.

Amy turned back to a hedgehog and rolled her sleeve to show her mother the mark she got, "See"

"Nice, I am proud of you my daughter. You have improved yourself and showed courage in you" Amethyst said.

"Thanks Mom" Amy hugged her mother. Amethyst hugged her back and then Amy turns to Sonic.

"Congratulations Ames. You did it" Sonic said and hugs Amy softly.

"Thanks, Sonikku. We can later fly and run together" Amy said.

"Sure Amy" Sonic said and hugs her again, this time with a kiss.

In the meadow again, Sonic in wolf-form and Amy in eagle form were running and flying together.

Under the snow

Beneath the frozen streams

There is life

You'll have to know

When nature sleeps she dreams

There is life

They passes by the lake where fishes where swimming with some otters and beavers who were building on their homes. Some gophers and three raccoons where waking up by the sunlight that shines on them.

And the colder the winter

The warmer the spring

The deeper the sorrow

The more our hearts sing

Even when you can't see it

Inside everything

There is Life

From the branch Amy passes by, a small bird woke up and stretched out his wings. The pink eagle smiled and followed each other passing some flying squirrel gliding in the air next to Amy. A pack of ducks were at a lake and one falls over due to the last remaining ice on the lake.

After the rain

The sun will reappear

There is life

After the pain

The joy will still be here

There is life

Amy and Sonic then watches the pack of red birds flying in the sky much to their amazement.

"Incredible Sonikku" Amy said in telepathy.

"Mmhmm, let's go" Sonic nods and they run past some gophers reaching for some berries.

For it's out of the darkness

That we learn to see

And out of the silence

That songs come to be

And all that we dream of

Awaits patently

There is life

There is life

Ohohoohooo

After running through the meadow and forest they decide to have a break and turn to their normal forms again.

"Let me see that mark again" Sonic said.

Amy rolled her sleeve and showed her winged mark on her arm.

Sonic smiled proudly and touches it, "It's beautiful"

"Thanks. You know right now I'm gypsy, Native American and shape-shifter at the same time. Amazing" Amy said.

--------------------

Silver in his deer-form was letting Blaze ride on his back in the forest to go find some apples to eat.

"Better hope that there are some apples, Silver" Blaze said.

"There is, I am very certain that there is some apples there" Silver telepathically said to her.

Just then, a few birds were all over Silver's antlers which annoyed him, "Oh, great. Birds just love my antlers when it comes to Spring season" he muttered in telepathy. He tries to shake them off his antlers but the birds keep coming back to him much to Blaze's amusement.

"If they poop on my head its not gonna be pretty" Silver growled in telepathy.

"I got this" Blaze got off of Silver and morphs into a cougar, "RAAAAAWWWWRRRRR!!!!" she screeched at the birds to scare them off.

"Thanks Blaze" Silver sighs happily and Blaze turned back to a mobian cat.

"No worries Silver. Now let's get the apples" Blaze said

Soon they reached the apple tree and they see the apples were red now by the sunlight.

"Here we are. Fresh apples in the trees" Silver said in telepathy.

"Good" Blaze said and takes the basket to stuff the apples in. Silver turned to his hedgehog form and used his telekinesis to pick up the apples that were high up in the tree. He levitates them down to the basket Blaze has and she saw them fly to her.

"Like that huh? Eat this" Silver said and makes an apple fly in front of Blaze. She chuckled happily and takes the apple to taste it by one bite.

"Yummy" Blaze said and takes another bite of the apple.

"I knew you were gonna love it, Blaze" Silver said.

-------------------

"For a horse your hair is very healthy and smooth" Nebula said, using the man-made comb made out of carved deer antler bone to comb horse Shadow's mane.

"Yes, I like it when no fleas or ticks are on my body, they are too irritable" Shadow said. Nebula keeps combing him for a few more minutes. She even gave him a carrot while combing.

"Always have a bath to keep your fur and hair clean at all times" Nebula said.

"Very well. Better I get a bath after you are finished" Shadow said.

"Yup. Just wait" Nebula said. She carefully combed his mane again and then goes to comb his tail.

"Please don't stare at my....butt. It's a little embarrassing when I'm in a horse form" Shadow said in telepathy.

"Alright I don't comb it" Nebula said and goes back to his mane.

"Phew" Shadow pants out in relief and snorts.

"Sorry" Nebula said.

"It's alright" Shadow said in telepathy.
