This Chapter was my most difficult one. The scenery, emotions, movements, and the detailing was all so complicated, I had to do it in the dark (With some lighting, of course) just to help write out what I pictured in my head. I pray...this Chapter impresses you guys. After so many re-writes, this is the best I've done. I hope you guys like it.

And I'm so sorry for the 5 month hiatus. That…wasn't something I expect to happen.

Ever.

Enjoy the story.

Chapter 15: His Dearest Rose

New moon.

Time 7:48 p.m.

Along with the freezing winds that moaned endlessly into the night.

After darkness fell upon Windy Valley, slowly and disturbingly, little specs of clouds began to form together above the depressive nocturnal sky. Creating heavily large and murky-looking clouds one group at a time, these billows morphed into one thick sheet of gray blanket in which overcast a small and humble snow-capped rural looking town by the name of Wolfgang Village.

West of Windy Valley.

This little town, unlike the Mystic Ruins community, wasn't surrounded by as many trees. Being at the location it was, the area endured chilly drafts daily and for a place that's fairly close to the mountains, it was quiet with small number of population.

Not to mention being desolated from any other nearby towns.

Nonetheless, Wolfgang Village was known to have a breathtaking landscape; a half-frozen lake that stood out a little further down from houses, smooth looking ice-capped hillsides and, open-wide areas fit to farm crops and harvest plants. But one thing for certain, the rural community happened to be surrounded by notorious unsafe slopes.

It's why the citizens have their own hospital.

...And speaking of hospital.

One that stood out in the center of town.

Inside the lobby of Wolfgang Memorial Hospital, the environment was stale, musty and…Unpleasant. Its clichéd white walls and stained tile floor brought out the unnerving cold feeling to all patients and staff's. Men, women and, children seated patiently for their names to be called up to see a doctor. From one adult male cheetah coughing across the lobby to a little panda girl crying over a fever who sat next to her mother, no one made eye contact or engaged in any form of conversation.

The only noise heard in the lobby were some boring news program that was corner top right of the wall. No one cared to know or watch what was on television. Everyone...just...remained where they were with blank stares and glares, looking down on their hands folded between their laps.

Such an un-thrilling place.

Fortunately for the hospital guest's, none didn't have to stay any longer than usual or worse...Overnight. Most illnesses' and injuries these hospital guests were suffering from only needed minor attention.

...

Well.

Not everyone gets to go home.

On floor 6th just a few doors down the long wide-opened white hallway leading to room #673 patient 10081985, Amy Rose the Hedgehog.

The room of 673 was frigid and unsettling, dimly lit up by a flickering light above from the top ceiling. Its tiny and claustrophobic looking white walls and corners acted as if it was going to close in any moment, keeping any helpless victim from escaping.

Yet.

Sleeping through exhaustion, Amy lied sideways underneath the blanket on the cold firm bed, hands folded between her head and pillow. Her tiresome eyes were concealed protectively behind her dark circled lids. And what seemed to be draped unevenly top left side of her face, was her quills overshadowing her long and grotesque stitches.

Not an attractive head injury to see.

Struggling for warmth, Amy buried herself further in the stiff mattress and shivered, feeling the cold air seeped through her thin blanket as it penetrated past her fur. Her teeth gritted uncomfortably and she gripped the blanket tighter. "Erhm." She groaned pitifully, rolling on her back and losing even more heat as she shivered.

"Oh goodness..." A vibrating and mellow voice echoed. Sitting cross-legged across the room with one of her lavender boots tapping the floor and having a white short scarf tugged around her neck, Tikal got up from her seat and quietly removed her long lavender trench coat.

Looking straight ahead, she sighed pitying at Amy from where she stood. "...Poor girl." Tikal muttered, keeping a firm grip of her coat on one arm. It was obvious the beautiful echidna had just got off from work because her uniform was still worn when she got the news from her job that Amy was in fact injured.

Due to a steep fall.

"She might be having another episode of the chills." Tikal thought the obvious, watching Amy stuttered through troubled breaths and hugging the blankets tighter around her body. Quietly, she tip-toed to where her best friend rests without making a noise and reaching her destination, she made her stop and circled her body around next to Amy's bed. Tikal loosely unraveled her long trench coat off her arm and took a step back, spreading the coat in midair and watched it fall quickly down Amy's body. "This should keep you from freezing to death, sweetheart." She soothed with such tranquility in her voice, tucking the pink flower in protectively

Seconds later, Amy stopped shivering to the point that she loosened her grip on the bed spread, though still waiting for her body to heat up underneath the blankets.

Tikal stretched smile and brushed her forehead with the back of her hand, indicating a hard work well-done. "Least she's not trembling as much." She crossed her arms and nodded proudly, sneaking a victorious smile.

"Hrn."

Tikal glanced down, blinking.

Amy still hadn't fall into a deep sleep and got a little restless.

Rolling her head about what else she should do, the darling echidna face beamed brilliantly when an idea formed in her head. "I have just the thing." With her back unintentionally facing the door from behind, Tikal leaned forward and firmly placed both hands on the hard hospital bed for balance, half-lidded her sapphire orbs as she brought her lips close to Amy's ear.

"My mothers lullaby should do the trick." She though in humor, closing her eyes and allowed her childhood memory to form as Tikal pressed her tongue together between her jaws just to...

"Nhnnn-mmn..."

Hum.

Swaying her head left to right at the beat of her own singing, Tikal stretched a fragile smile and hummed delightfully in hopes of lulling Amy into deep slumber.

"Nhnnn-mmn Mhmn-hnnn..."

Tikal opened one eye open to peep for a bit and saw that Amy stopped shivering, she closed her other eye again as she hid her satisfaction. The pink flower's thick eyelashes fluttered in response to the humming, slowly drifting to the world called "dreamland".

The darling echidna kept going.

"Nhnnn-mmn..."

Amy cooed blissfully, through her lips.

Tikal couldn't help but grin at her best friend's adoring moan; she brought a hand on top of Amy's quills and massaged it carefully. Out of the blue, the pink lady smiled beautifully in her sleep to her best friend's touch.

So cute.

Reopening her sapphire orbs, Tikal's face twinkled in joy at how gracefully Amy can sleep yet she hid a bit of her envy. "Talk about Sleeping Beauty." She playfully imagined, shrugging off her ridiculous jealousy and stopped massaging Amy's quills, earning a pitiful whine from the pink flower as she brought back her hand.

"Nhnnn-Mhmn-hnnn..."

That one sounded euphoric.

Amy's face relaxed and her smile disappeared, leaving her lower jaw partly opened. Now lulled into a deep sleep and feeling the heat returning to her body with the help of Tikal's thick coat, the injured flower can now rest peacefully.

"Nhn-"

Ceasing her humming, the darling echidna heard a feathery snore coming from poor Amy's throat as her chest rose up and down in her sleep.

Leaning back up with a casual expression, Tikal placed one hand on her hip and brushed back her front quills with the other. "She's in a deep sleep now." She said to herself inaudibly, darting her wandering eyes at the window ahead of her only for her pupils to shrink. "Wh-what time is it?" She guessed, in befuddlement.

She hadn't realized how late it was getting.

Pulling her white sleeve back, the beautiful Tikal looked down at her watch and grumbled in disappointment. "I've been here longer than I should." She scolded to herself stupidly, pushing back her sleeve to cover her wrist-watch. "Hopefully this hospital has the number to call for a cab out front." She hoped, letting worries subsided.

And since Tikal's been here, she hadn't taken the time to get a good look around the room. Pacing back and forth, she wrinkled her black nose and frowned in disapproval. The room assigned to her best friend was not to her liking. "I know this is a place where the help and the dying come but still..." Tikal lowered her eye-lids in displeasure, heaving a sigh when she began rubbing her arms together for warmth.

The air was too cold, the room was already small itself, the light from the ceiling above was starting to flicker and, the floor was quite dirty with visible blotches of brown stain. How can such hospital still be in operation when every wall and corner was covered in filth and possible infectious germs?

-Click-

What's this?

Tikal's ear's flickered.

The door handle clicked.

"Someone else is trying to come in?" Sapphire orbs raised a brow, tilting her head. Listening carefully, Tikal ears flinched at the sound of the knob twisting open as she unfolded her arms still standing in her place, eying to her right in curiously. "Hm?" She wondered, hearing the door open all the way.

A dark figure with oddly shaped red and black quills took only three steps to enter the room when he grumbled inappropriately at this female echidna before him. Snorting through his nose in annoyance, this dark individual was not pleased that another person was still here. "What is this?" His deep voice roughly called out, closing the door shut…

-SLAM-

Hard.

Amy stirred but still remained asleep.

Tikal ears flattened and cringed to the door slamming shut the way it did. "What nerve!" She lowered her eyes, mouthing her lips in resentment. And to add insult to injury she heard a...devious snicker as to whomever it was taking amusement watching her get startled so easily.

How rude.

Circling her body around, Tikal lifted and readied her index finger in accusation so she can scold at the perpetrator as she heard footsteps coming closer to her. "Listen, I don't appreciate you scaring me like that only to laugh about it." She stared directly at the dark individual, berating him daintily.

"…"

Whoa.

Tikal's face melted to the floor and blushed. "Oh my Chaos…" Were all she muttered, forgetting EVERYTHING about giving this "fiend" a good tongue-lashing.

"This...echidna," The black hedgehog lowered his eye-lids, trying to guess who she was. "Is she related to Knuckles?" His mind trailed off, cocking a brow. Standing tall and dressed in his dark bluish black G.U.N. jumpsuit was Shadow the Hedgehog. Just getting off work, the ebony displayed a dull and poker-face expression at the very woman who was going goo-goo eyes on him.

Tikal's face was clouded in a daze and her cheeks were red as tomatoes, eyes darting up and down on Shadow's toned body. "You're very handsome." She complimented him, dreamily."I wonder how often he goes to the gym?" She sneaked a giggle, legs turning into jelly.

Oh…

…Dear CHAOS

Shadow glared and narrowed his eyes in disapproval, snarling as he was not in sharing this echidna's enthusiasm. "I've grown very weary of women like that." He thought, mind filled with aggravation.

He slowly…steadily…brought his curled thumb and index fingers in front of the echidna's hazy stare just to…

*Snap, snap*

Shadow brought back his hand and waited patiently; hoping the sound of his fingers snapping would guarantee to bring any woman back to reality. "Did that work?" He wondered. Giving it few seconds, he smirked when Tikal's face blinked awkwardly.

It worked.

Shaking out the rest of her bashfulness, Tikal saw the dismissive stare coming from Shadow and looked down in shame. "I-I'm sorry," She apologized, glancing back up at him. "I didn't mean to be rude." She nervously redeemed herself, putting her hands behind her back and awaiting for her forgiveness.

Shadow only shrugged. "Forget it." He acknowledged her atonement, in a smooth and calm manner.

Whew.

Tikal smiled and rolled her eyes in exasperation, placing a hand at the back of her head. "Oh, thank you." She spoke gratefully, earning a nod from the ebony. "I thought I must've offended you in any-"

"Mmmm."

"!?"

Shadow looked over Tikal whilst the darling echidna checked over her shoulder, both flabbergasted.

"...What's that noise?" A sugar-coated voice barely croaked out.

What it seems to be sounds of blankets being scuffled around followed by a small perky yawn from the far end of the room, a pink form leaned up and placed an arm behind her for support, using her other free arm to rub the sleepiness off her eyes.

Still looking over Tikal, Shadow concealed his excitement behind his vacant expression but couldn't help showing an ecstatic smirk. "My timing has never been so perfect." He thought, congratulating himself.

"I just put her to sleep." Sapphire orbs blew a puff of air in failure and frowned, smiling at the seemingly awake Amy Rose. "Dear, you should be resting." Tikal advised her best friend, turning the rest of her body around and began walking towards her best friend.

With little light support the flickering bulb above the ceiling provided, Amy was still able see her best friend Tikal approaching her with a smile of uncertainty. By the time Tikal stopped in front of the pink flower, Amy could only sit up straight and glued her boorish and tiresome face at her.

"Well," Amy groaned, covering her mouth. "I was hearing people talk in my sleep." She yawned again, in exhaustion.

Shadow just stood there and watched the two, feeling as if he was invisible to the pink flower. "Do Amy NOT see me?" He cocked a brow, in perplexity. Then again, his not surprised at Amy's lack of being observant to some things.

"Get some rest." Tikal implied, gently.

"Sure, Ti." Amy nodded.

"I rather you don't, Amy." Shadow spoke up.

Tikal swiftly turned her heel around and gave the ebony a "maybe another time" expression as she shook her head at his request, placing both hands on her hips. "I'm sorry but Amy's been through a lot today and-"

"Shadow?" Amy's jumped, in surprise.

"Wait, who!?" Tikal abruptly asked, turning her neck at one direction where Shadow stood looking smug whilst snapping her gaze at Amy like she's seen a ghost.

"Evening, Amy." Shadow greeted Amy, boldly and lowly.

The pink flower quickly sat up on her bed in indian style position with the blanket and coat wrapped around from the waist down. "What are you doing here, Shadow?" She demanded an answer, scowling at Shadow as her anger began to surface.

Before the ebony had a chance to step up and open his mouth, Tikal excitedly dashed towards Shadow, giving him a greeting smile. "You're Shadow?" She asked, not paying attention how disgusted he was already looking. "Oh of course, the black fur and all." She said humorously, hitting the base of her forehead with the palm of her hand.

What the...?

Shadow placed a hand over his forehead and groan, not wanting to stand for this as he has more important things to worry about. "Just who exactly ar-" Interrupted, his left hand was immediately taken for a hand shake.

Bad timing.

Tikal beamed an innocent smile as she shook Shadow's hand vigorously and from behind her, Amy practically sweat-dropped. "Hi, my name is Tikal." She introduced herself, still shaking Shadows hand. "Amy speaks so much about you at work all the time and it's so nice to finally meet you." The darling echidna maintained her enthusiasm, keeping Shadow's hand firmed in hers.

Fed up with the way Tikal was portraying herself at a time like this, Shadow dismissed the rest of the echidna's introductions and snatched his hand away. "I don't have time for this and I don't have time for her." He thought, impassively.

The ebony took one step to the side from Tikal and left her utterly stupid as he got closer to Amy who sank further in her mattress. "Shit." Amy whispered and bit her lips, holding the blankets up against her bosom for protection.

"Forgive me if I was ever disrespectful." Tikal sighed, looking over her shoulder at the fairly pissed of Shadow who stopped at the foot away of the pink flowers bed.

The black hedgehog eyed back impatiently dark at the sullen echidna who, yet again, was looking for forgiveness. "Whatever." Shadow retorted, lacking little respect in his voice. He wasn't in the mood to forgive this woman a second time and was more concern having his own apology accepted.

From Amy.

Trying to hide her fear and how upset she still was at Shadow, Amy closed her eyes and took a breath, opening them again as she masked a perfect determination. "Why are you here?" She challenged him, folding her ears dementedly.

Sensing the fear and belligerent demeanor that Amy was trying so hard to cover, Shadow tried to give the pink flower a calm and reassuring look. "To talk to you, of course." He said, confidently.

"…I don't want to." Amy growled, defensively.

"Yes, you will." Crimson orbs narrowed, determinedly. Shadow noticed two sheets of blankets wrapped around Amy's waistline for warmth and one looked as if it was a trench coat. With no hesitation on his next move regardless how hostile Amy was getting, he snatched the trench coat from her gripped, earning a tiny whine from her.

Hoisting up the trench coat in the air and looking over his shoulders, the black hedgehog gave Tikal a sharp look which was enough to make her stumbled back in astonishment. "Is this yours?" Shadow questioned her, awaiting her answer.

"Yes, it is." Tikal replied, quickly.

Shadow threw Tikal's coat backwards from where he stood. "Go home." He ordered, not caring too much if her pretty coat lands on the dirty floor.

Tikal eyes bulked out and panicked, rushing over to catch her trench coat in time before it got filthy. "My coat!" She screamed, reaching out and grabbing it on cue. "Please," Although relieved, she glanced up and glared passively at Shadow for his actions. "Hand it to me next time." She warned him, wrapping her coat around herself and firmly tucking it in.

Even when his back was still turned to Tikal, Shadow hung his head and slump his shoulders. Though it's cleared he can feel the pouting frustrations piercing him from behind. "Tikal," He called her out, quietly. "I humble ask for you to leave me and Amy in peace." He gave his request, hoping Amy's best friend would carry it out.

At first Tikal took a step forward and went as far as opening her mouth…but then...she closed it, stepping back for a bit. "Oh I see, he wants to talk to Amy about…." As if she already knew. Not going to bother to ask any questions, Tikal shrugged with a nod and acknowledged a smile at Shadow. "I'll be on my way." She said, sounding a bit upbeat.

Oh hell….

As if Amy wasn't allowed to have any saying in this, she mentally screamed when Tikal agreed to leave her with Shadow alone. "Tikal, don't LEAVE ME WITH HIM!" Her eyes pleaded with mercy.

Shadow returned Tikal's smile with a gracious smirk. "Much oblig-"

"NO!"

Both Tikal and Shadow gazed and turned surprisingly at the fuming Amy. Which in a way she look mildly…no, REALLY pissed off.

"Shadow," Amy barked his name, angrily. "I don't ever want you in my presence." She glowered more, pointing her finger at the door. "So make like the wind and blow." The pink flower fumed, defiantly.

Shadow, even more defiant, crossed his arms and shook his head at Amy's request. "I'm afraid I can't do that, Amy." He kept it together.

Tikal placed both arms on her hips and puckered her lips, disapproving the pink flowers tone of attitude and aggression. "Come now Amy, there's no need for that kind of attitude." She scolded, gingerly. "It's obvious Shadow wants to use his time to speak to you." Her scolding lessened that time.

"Fuck him!" Amy screamed, profoundly.

"Your language, Miss!" Tikal bellowed, disciplining Amy.

"I've had worse." Shadow retorted, in sarcasm.

Moving in between Shadow and Amy, Tikal acted out as a mediator of some sort. Like any mediator, the individual speaks to the victim first. "First off Amy, give Shadow the benefit of a doubt." The darling echidna compassionately advised Amy, leering down at her earnestly. "And try not to stress yourself out either; you have other injuries to watch out for." She hadn't realized what she just said until she heard a gasp from Amy.

Face-palming at her best friend blunders, the pink lady looked up at Tikal with a mean and frightful looking expression. "Way to put that out there, Ti." She fussed, earning a tiny "oops" from Tikal.

Shadow rolled his eyes at Amy's befuddlement; it was clear she didn't want Shadow to know about her poor condition. Lucky for him, he already knew. "That's no surprise at all." He thought the obvious, remembering from Rouge's phone call earlier. He then moved to where Tikal was and stood next to her. "How bad is she hurt, Tikal?" Shadow asked in concern for his beautiful Amy, eyeballing to his right at Amy's best friend.

Amy looked up at Shadow and frowned. "My condition is none of your concern." She chided at him, clenching her fists together.

Shadow met Amy's glare and softened, eyes glued deeply into those dancing green flames of pain and humiliation. "It is my concern." He soothed and tried to hush Amy's temperament. "Are you embarrassed that you ran away and got hurt for it because of me?" Shadow questioned her, without making it sound like he was interrogating Amy.

Amy's ears drooped and she turned her neck at an angle as she wrinkled her brows, eyes tearing up for a bit. "What do you think?" She swallowed a gulp but found her determination again, shooting a glance at Shadow. "Didn't leaving my blue gown behind mean anything to you?" She hissed, gritting her teeth venomously.

Before Shadow even had a chance to speak in his defense, Tikal closed her eyes and cleared her throat, gaining the attention from both hedgehogs before a fallout was about to happen. "Back to how injured Amy is," Her tone was serious and she opened her eyes, looking from Shadow to Amy. "The doctors believed that Amy received her injuries when she may have stumbled down a steep, rocky snow-covered hill. While tumbling down, her head made contact with one of the largest rock that result her to be unconscious." She finished her first part of the story and took a breath.

The ebony grimly eyed Amy as she quickly put a hand over her head to cover her wound, feeling the hard stare from the handsome hedgehog. "That explains the stitches." Shadow instantly regrets pointing that out when Amy lowered her head.

He never meant to single her out.

Feeling humiliated already, Amy waved an arm at Tikal and tried to keep her from telling Shadow what else happened. "Okay, that's enough Tikal." Amy blurted out, receiving a nervous glance from the darling echidna.

Tikal gave Amy a face while eyeballing Shadow to her left, receiving a nod to encourage her to move along with the story and ignore Amy's protests for now. "Continue." He ordered her, softly.

And so, she continued.

Much to Amy's dismay.

"Amy also suffers from the chills." Tikal's ears folded and cringed, hearing Amy smacking her lips in an inappropriate manner. "This was because she was lying in the snow estimated to be an hour." She finished, sympathetically.

Amy threw a silent, noticeable fit when she pounded her fists together on the mattress. As Shadow and Tikal gave her a concerned look, the pink flower felt defeated to be in this position of having two people in her room.

She's had it.

Amy hated the pitiful glares she's been receiving practically all day. The doctors, the nurses, her blue friend, her best friend, and Shadow...Especially Shadow. "If I hadn't let Shadow take advantage of me..." Her mind filled with regrets as she displayed a sour face, turning her back at Shadow and Tikal. "Just go away, Shadow." She almost pleaded him and slump her shoulders, trying to hold back a sniffle.

Seeing this shallow anger and humiliation coming from Amy, Shadow leaned a bit and placed a hand on her shoulders to reassure Amy that there was nothing for her to be upset about. But his reassurance to her was cut short when the pink flower shrugged his hand off, not giving him ANY permission to make physical contact with her.

Shadow's face fell.

"She won't let me touch her." Rejected, he leaned back up and moved his hand away, feeling…a little hurt? Sighing, Shadow snapped his neck to his right at the awkward looking Tikal who still had her gaze fixed on Amy. "Any frostbites?" The ebony asked her, trying not to show how sore he still felt.

Tikal frantically snapped out of her worrisome gaze from Amy and eyeballed Shadow, displaying a more serious demeanor. "No but…" She trailed off, looking down on the ground. "If you look underneath the blankets, some parts of her right ankle and left arm have been shaved and bandaged due to coming contact with sharp rocks." She explained, finishing her entire story.

"Not to mention wearing one ugly hospital gown that exposes my ass." Amy grumbled, back still turned to the both of them.

Tikal's face swelled in sorrow and lovingly, leaning down to bring a hand to rub her best friend's quills. "Just be glad that if it hadn't been for those two hikers who found you this morning, you're situation would've been a lot worse." She hid a smile when Amy leaned her head back and growled acceptably at her touch.

Shadow was a bit jealous.

"She's okay when that female echidna touches her." He scowled, in envy. When Tikal leaned back up and moved a hand away from Amy's quills, Shadow took the opportunity to do the talking now. "What were you trying to accomplish by running away, Amy?" He ALMOST wished he hadn't asked her that.

Amy viciously looked over her shoulders as her nose creased much to her chagrin, baring her teeth at the caring ebony. "Why do you care?" She huffed, clenching the blankets tightly in her fist that rested on the mattress. "You told me to give you space like you asked and I did." She bawled at Shadow, revealing more of her fangs.

Which Tikal finds frightening.

"Last time I saw Amy like this was when a lecherous customer was trying to grab her bottom, only to get a roundhouse kick in the head." Tikal broke a sweat from her brow. Remembering that day when Amy almost lost her job and she had to vouch for her that it was self-defense.

Shadow closed his eyes and shook his head at the fuming pink flower, letting out a deep and soft snicker. "Giving me space does not equal to running away." He attempted to comfort her, velvety.

Which didn't work.

"The hell was I supposed to do then, SHADOW?!" Amy roared, frightening her poor friend Tikal as she took a step back whilst Shadow stayed where he was.

"Amy dear, please calm yourself." Tikal advised and bravely walked back up to Amy just to grasp shoulders, squeezing it fairly tightly.

The pink flower rolled her eyes and blew a breath over her loose quills, turning her neck and back at the two Mobians again. "No, Tikal." She defied her best friend's wish, hanging her head down. "Shadow said himself that the only way me and his problems would be solved was giving him space and he cut me out afterwards." She eyed at Shadow darkly, almost threateningly. "Every time I open myself to him, he finds any reason to shut me out." She grumbled, leaning an elbow on her thigh and resting her head on her palm.

"Sweety…" Tikal trailed off.

"It was because…." Shadow couldn't finish his sentence.

"I want Shadow out of my life forever." Amy trailed off, sadly. "I've been around better and somewhat blue hedgehogs in my life." She muttered, comparing Shadow to someone…

"..."

What?

Crimson eyes narrowed confusingly...he couldn't help but growled defensively at the words coming from Amy's last sentence. "Better and somewhat blue hedgehog?" He thought and thinking of "his name" only made him more agitated. "What did you just say?" Shadow hissed, menacing.

"Did I stutter?" Amy sounded darker than usual.

"Say that in my face!" Shadow lost it and barked, growing tired of Amy's stubbornness.

And right after Shadow yelled at Amy, the pink flowers next move was enough to make Tikal run for the hills as she was expecting a nasty brawl from the two hedgehogs. Running to the far end of the room, she stopped by the door and looked back, scared out of her mind if Shadow was going to try anything on Amy or if Amy was going to make the first move on her former ebony roommate.

But.

Nothing happened.

"What the?" Tikal blinked, in bewilderment.

Although Amy was now sitting down, feet touching the floor as her jade orbs sadly and tearfully watered up at the sight of the black hedgehog. "I said," She hiccuped and gulped, tears flowing down from her white sockets. "That Sonic is better than you and with him around, who needs another copy like yourself?" The pink flower said, with much hate and callous.

Shadow paled.

The flickering light bulb went out.

And the room fell silent.

He couldn't believe what he just heard.

"How dare you compare someone to another Amy and make him feel even worse!?" Tikal for the first time, chewed out her best friend.

Shadow had to close his eyes….He kept them shut and hidden…but what he couldn't hide was a clear and tiny, crystalized gem trying to squeeze its way out of his left eyelid. "If that's what she wants..." He waited until that tiny and clear gem disappeared, reopening his eyes and leered down in defeat. "Do what you want." He just said, quickly turning his back on Amy and walked off.

The once arrogant black hedgehog who possessed the powers of Chaos and capable to wield any gun, any weapon...had his tail tucked between legs as if he was walking away from a brutal fight he couldn't win. Taking one step...two step...three...step...four step...five step...He was finally at the door. Looking down on the knob, Shadow placed a hand over it and began to twist it until...

A hand on his shoulder stopped him.

Huh?

Blinking, Shadow eyes widened at the warm and soft touch of a smaller hand. Looking over his shoulders, he saw a stern and fiery sapphire eyes that belongs to the likes of Tikal.

A much more serious side to her.

"If you give up now," Her brows creased, softly. "You'll lose her forever." Tikal warned, removing her hand from off his shoulders.

"…"

Shadow didn't say anything.

"Don't let her break your heart, Shadow." Tikal whispered VERY low for him to hear.

Shadows eyes painfully scorched doubtfully at the face of the determined Tikal, smirking at the fact that she was trying too hard to be a matchmaker. "What's the point?" He reminded Tikal, shamefully. "She wants me out." He sighed, hanging his head down.

Narrowing her eyes, Tikal's face glowered and her snout snorted steam from her black nose. She placed both hands on Shadows shoulders and forced him to turn around so he can look her in the eyes. "Amy's only like this because it wasn't fair for you to shun her after she asked if you loved her." She hissed and scorned at him, earning a snarl from the ebony. "Oh, she told me." Tikal sneaked a wink.

Without too much force, Shadow groaned and gripped Tikal's hands off his shoulders as he displayed a corrupt scowl on his face. "So, I get a taste of my own medicine." Shadow replied, bluntly.

Tikal hung her head down and sighed, shaking her head as she glanced back up at the ebony with a sunken smile. "It's not often Amy say something this hurtful to anybody, I know she's more forgiving that this." She paused and closed her eyes, taking a breath. "My advice; just keep talking to her and show that you never ever meant to cause so much grief." The darling echidna finished smoothly, opening her eyes again.

From across the room, Amy just withered in frustration as she watched her best friend trying to talk some sense into the ebony and just decided to call it a night. Getting out of her sitting position, Amy abruptly wrapped the thin piece of blanket around herself and laid flat on her mattress, turning her back on both the ebony and Tikal as she lied sideways to finally get some sleep. Trying to forget this night, forget Shadow, and to forget ever...trying to become closer than friends with him.

"Don't waste your time with him, Tikal." The pink flower rudely called out as she sank further in her firm mattress, not aware that both Shadow and Tikal are looking at her. "He feels bad at first and apologized, acts unusually nice towards me, then it's back to day one." Amy mumbled loud enough for them to hear, not caring what they both think.

What...

The hell?

Shadow eyed the pink flower crazy and gaped in astonishment, glancing back at Tikal who just slumped her shoulders and eyed surprisingly at Shadow. "She's making it sound like I've abused her." He hissed through clenched teeth, trying to keep the pink flower from listening.

Shaking out her befuddlement, Tikal crossed her arms and shrugged casually but still found the situation serious. "No, but you've rejected whatever feelings Amy may have had for you." She whispered, hoping Amy wouldn't hear her.

"55 years old and I've never been this clueless over anyone." The ebony muttered, in stupidity.

"Amy can't possibly stay mad at you forever so just tell her what's on your mind, and she'll eventually come around." The darling echidna soothed sympathetically but cocked a brow in confusion when she remembered what else Shadow said. "I'm sorry, you said you're 55?" Tikal asked, looking at Shadow physique from top to bottom. He can't be THAT old.

"No." Shadow lied, bluntly.

Tikal aimlessly scratched the top of her loose quills as she gave Shadow a funny look, fingering the tip of her ear if she truly heard right. "Oh...okay." She accepted confusingly and dropped her arm, looking from the side of Shadow and at the door. "It's getting late so I have to go now." She said, stepping to the side of the ebony and began walking. Reaching out for the knob, Tikal gripped it tightly and twisted it opened as she let in the beam of bright light coming in from the hallway into the dark room.

Opening the door widely now, the darling echidna only managed to put her left foot out the door when she heard...

"Tikal?" Shadow called to her.

"Yes?" She answered, not looking over her shoulders.

The ebony glared at the back of the darling echidna and scrunched up a smirk, followed by a laid-back shrug. "Earlier when you introduced yourself to me," Shadow paused, darting his crimson orbs on the floor. "It was a pleasure of meeting you." He acknowledged her introductions in return, respectively.

Tikal half-lidded her orbs and looked over her shoulders, smiling at the brooding expression coming from the ebony. "Same here." She whispered, in gratitude.

But of course…Shadow reverted to his brooding and melancholy demeanor that screamed 'I hate your guts'. "It's just the handshaking that pisses me off." He grunted, not exactly a big fan when others make physical contact with him with the exception of Amy.

"I'll remember that." Sapphire orbs giggled, silently.

Without wasting anymore time, the darling echidna turned her neck around and still smiled humorously at what was explained from the ebony and how her reaction was to it. Quietly, Tikal slid out the door and shut it from behind her, leaving the two hedgehogs by themselves to talk.

Or

Kill eachother.

Several minutes went by since Tikal left.

Room #673 became more cold and compressed than usual. The sour scent of past dying patients and old medicine soon surfaced, reeking the entire stale living quarters disgustingly as it filled the nostrils of both Shadow and Amy who had to limit their breathing to avoid inhaling the fumigated smell. And even for a small space that had little source of ventilation, an arousing breeze of anxiety swam throughout the room, enough for the off-white color walls to drench in cold sweat.

Leering down with a hardened touch of guilt spread across his face at the distraught pink flower, Shadow had his arms crossed and grimaced as he stood just a foot away from her bed. "Amy's really trying her best to ignore me." He assumed, impassively.

Amy still kept her eyes painfully shut as she tried hard to forget about Shadow still sharing the same room as she is, lying sideways in a fetal position and back turned to him. "Just try to go to sleep Amy and forget he's even here." She advised herself, sinking further. "He'll give up and leave eventually." The pink flower hoped, wishing Shadow to be gone already.

But he didn't.

Shadow vaguely shook his head and circled his body around, implanting his soft bottom on the firm mattress next to Amy. "Alright, I'm done playing the waiting game." He thought impatiently, looking over his shoulder at the stubborn rose. "Amy, talk to me." Shadow finally spoke, watching her body tightened at his voice.

"No." Amy mumbled, defensively.

"Why?" Shadow asked, soothingly and curiosity.

"I just don't, that's why." The pink flower countered, rudely.

"That's not a good enough reason." The ebony replied, casually.

"Well, too bad!" Amy barked, loudly.

Sigh.

Although Shadow was not fazed by her aggression he lowered his eye-lids and smirked, turning his head away momentarily. "Amy?" He asked, faintly.

Grumbling quite viciously, Amy turned her neck around and glowered at the back of the black hedgehog, noticing a tiny smirk on his face even when he's not looking at her. "What. Do. You. Want?" She fumed word from word, menacing and tiredly.

"..."

"You're a bigger ass than I am." Shadow retorted, in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Haa!"

Shadow immediately regrets saying those words when his face scrunched up crookedly and grunted in pain, after receiving a hard elbow to the back of his head. Enough force to get him out of bed as he laid face flat on the dirty floor, Shadow managed to get on his hands and knees only to be forced back down on his stomach by one pissed off Amy Rose who used her entire body to restrain him.

To keep him from moving all that much, Amy leaned sideways on Shadow's back and wrapped an arm around his neck in a headlock. "Whose fault was it to make me this way?" She asked, accusingly.

Half-lidded his crimson orbs in a daze and shaking off his disorientation, Shadow gritted his teeth and eyed darkly at the pink flower who was still on his back. "Your strength rivals of that red echidna." He muffled, complimenting Amy.

Amy's brows creased savagely and squeezed Shadow's neck tighter, indicating him to shut-up. "Don't change the subject!" She said, furiously.

Shadow pulled a poker-face. "Oh...when I said you're a bigger ass than I am?" He tried to turn his neck, feeling the pressure even more. "The fact is; you are." He said effortlessly, not learning from his last lesson.

Jade orbs flared ruthlessly and out of vengeance as Amy leaned back and raised her free arm in the air, pointing directly up at the ceiling when swirls of pink petals and mist formed around it. "Storming He"

Hell NO!

Within a heartbeat, the black hedgehog adrenaline kicked in and let out one free arm, using it for support to push Amy off him and quickly rolled on his back intending to interrupt the pink flower from using her 'Storming Hearts' attack. Using his weight and back to pin the already struggling Amy trying to push him off her and allowing his quills get in the way of her speaking much.

Shadow looked from the corner of his eyes and gave Amy a scolding look. "You're going to overexert yourself like this, Amy." He warned, in a grouchy manner.

In retaliation, Amy's determination surfaced as her eyes beamed in animosity and used her uninjured leg to abruptly kicked Shadow off her, hearing a disgruntled "thud" five feet away from her. While still on the floor, she placed both palms above her and used the Kip-up technique to fluently swing her legs in circles, getting on her two feet.

Amy readied her arms and gracefully placed one leg back; standing in her fighter's stance as she cautiously watched the ebony slowly getting on his two feet to meet her gaze. "You're really trying me tonight, Shadow." She addressed in defense, preparing to fight though her fatigue was catching up and her eyes fluttered tiredly.

Shadow also readied his arms crouched his knees, standing in his fighter stance as he narrowed his eyes with caution at the fearless Amy Rose who stood five feet away from him."She's not going to hold out much longer in her condition." He closed his eyes and thought of a plan, opening them up in vigor with a smirk. "You really want to do this, Amy?" He challenged, threateningly but secretly.

Amy's nose wrinkled like a predator ready to jump on her prey, bending her knees and tilting her neck to charge at the sudden confident ebony. "If I had to knock your ass around just for you to leave, YES." Her voice trembled in virulence, eyes glazed in fury.

"Very well." Shadow purred, dementedly and handsomely.

-Vwip-

A blue flash came as it went.

"What the?" Amy's face fell and blinked, inwardly.

...

Shadow disappeared.

Nervously, the pink flower remained in her fighter's stance as her body tensed more for any surprising attacks, looking from left to right. "I'm an idiot," She mentally kicked herself, reverting back to her regular posture. "I forgot he could teleport." She thought, in stupidity

Then her breath quickened.

Even when she expected it, Amy's fatigue finally caught up as she placed a hand over her forehead and tearfully shut her eyes, feeling the immersed skull-splitting headache swirling in. "Dammit, I guess I really did overdo it" She gripped her head tighter, legs started to feel like jelly.

Unable to take the pain, Amy's eyes rolled and she staggered back uncontrollably, using her left arm to try to find some support to keep from falling.

-Vwip-

A blue flash reappeared behind Amy followed by a dark figure with a victorious smirk. "She was warned." Shadow extended both his arms on time to catch the fallen pink flower, bending his knees and using his left arm to grab her by the legs and carry her bridal style. "Ready to talk now?" He scolded and asked her, gently.

"Forget it." Amy answered, rudely.

"I thought you'd be more forgiving than this." Shadow implied, directly.

"Only if it's someone like you." She replied, arrogantly.

"One chance, Amy." He asked, solemnly.

"No." The pink flower, refused.

"One chance to talk and I promise to leave you alone." The ebony whispered, promising her to walk out of her life forever if given a chance.

"…"

"Amy?"

"Okay."

Shadow gratefully looked down at the pink flower and sighed, half-lidded his crimson orbs in much gratitude for the woman he loves. "Much obliged." He gave his thanks, pulling Amy's face up against his chest.

Amy's form trembled due to the lack of warmth and excitement she experienced earlier, throwing her head back in exasperation and eying the ebony with much displeasure tucked in his arms. "I really liked you, Shadow." She whispered, closing her eyes and sniffled. "I wanted to be your friend and get as close to you as possible." She croaked, letting out a wet cough.

While still carrying the exhausted Amy in his arms, Shadow looked to his left and his face brightened at the bed just a couple of feet away from him and the pink lady. Turning his heel around and walking smoothly towards the bed, he stopped and circled his body to sit his soft bottom on the hardened mattress. The ebony started rubbing his hand on Amy's arms and legs, trying to return the warmth in her body.

After sitting, he looked down at the shivering Amy who unknowingly adjusted herself comfortably in his lap to rest her head on his shoulders, moving her muzzle to his neck to breathe in deeply and exhaled delicately, taking pleasure to enjoy sniffing that intoxicating scent of clove and spices she missed so very much.

Shadow just smiled.

"What do you have against me, Shadow?" Amy mumbled, wrapping both arms around Shadow's neck, burying herself further in. "Why it always seem that when you're trying to warm up to me, you get angry and walk away?" She questioned him reluctantly, squeezing his neck tighter.

Moving his finger to where Amy's stitches were, Shadow rubbed and soothed her wound gently. "I was never angry at you, Amy." Shadow's ears drooped as he admitted his wrongdoing, ghosting his fingers on to Amy's quills. "Matter of fact, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me." He whispered, with much care and delicacy.

Eh?

Shocked at his words, Amy's eyes snapped opened. "I'm the best thing that's ever happened to him?" She flushed and abruptly moved her muzzle away from Shadow's neck. "I-I don't understand." She asked in confusion, watching Shadow's precious and burning scarlet eyes meet her glimmering and tearful looking jade orbs.

It was now time to tell Amy.

How he truly feels about her.

"It wasn't until this morning when I figured out my feelings for you, Amy." Shadow said and smirked handsomely; forming his hand into two fingers and placed them underneath Amy's chin, bringing her face closer to his. "Sure in the past we weren't exactly fans of one another." He paused and went on. "We've fought, argued, claim territory over food and snacks and, race to see who gets the shower first." He coughed and cleared his throat, coming up what other misadventures he had with Amy.

Amy churned her face into a weak smile and her ears folded back. "Okay the shower part; sometimes it's you who starts running first." She pointed out.

Whatever.

Shadow rolled his eyes at her comment and puffed out an air of defeat, gazing back at the pink flower. "Time and time again you've always been a thorn to my side and everyday since you were with me, I always hoped the next day after the last you'd leave already." Shadow explained, dreadfully.

…

Oh.

Amy lowered her eye-lids and turned her head away in sadness after hearing Shadow's last sentence. "Had to insult me one more time, huh?" She uttered, in disappoint.

"Not quite." Shadow whispered, in such silk.

"Huh?" Amy blinked.

Crimson orbs pierced deeply into those beautiful green jewels, scorching through her soul. "The more time I spent with you Amy, the more I was...enjoying myself." He admitted, affectionately. "I know it didn't always seem like it but I have to say; all the talking, the meals, watching television together and, allowing you to introduce me to your child's play games...it was worth my while." Shadow said, bringing his muzzle to meet Amy's and nuzzled her.

Growling affectionately to Shadow's touch, Amy pulled away for a second while Shadow stare at her a bit surprised. "If this is all true Shadow then why did it took you so long to say all this?" She asked, politely.

Shadow glanced down at Amy's top bosom and sighed, shamefully looking back up to her. "At that time Amy, I just wanted my old life back." He addressed, truthfully. "The loneliness. The solitary life style. No one to talk to or others trying to talk to me. A hedgehog like myself, could live an eternity without much companionship in his life." He said, keeping an open mind. "I'm just one of those who don't like change." He finished, sternly.

Biting her bottom lip and creasing her brows, Amy displayed a puckering expression. "But that doesn't explain why I am the best thing you've ever had or..." She trailed off, looking dumbfounded.

"I'm getting there." Shadow let out a dark chuckle.

"Sorry." Amy squeaked.

"Can you stand up?" The ebony asked, in concern.

"I think so." Amy complied.

Amy moved one leg out followed by her second one and steadily got up from off the ebony's lap, wobbling the entire time and earning a concerned stare from the ebony behind her. Growing weak from trying to stand up, the pink flower was about to fall back down had she felt a pair of arms from behind her as Shadow easily caught her.

"Thanks." Amy grumbled, softly.

"Not at all." Shadow acknowledged.

After Amy got her composure, she felt herself being turned around slowly with the help of Shadow's hand still grasped on her shoulders, facing him directly. It wasn't long until the ebony pulled her into a protective hug and moved to where her neck was, breathing in her sweet...arousing peach/berry fragrance. "Amy Rose," He moved his lips to her ears, blowing hot and moisture air into it. "Words cannot describe how much I've fallen for you." He moaned, erotically.

Fallen?

Oh...dear...Amy could only shudder at his breathing and words, half-lidded her jade orbs to the sound of his moaning and nose tickling her left ear. "Okay, so I always thought Shadow had a soft spot for me but fallen?" She thought, wondered. "S-Sh-Shadow," She stuttered his name, nervously. "What made you fall for me, Shadow?" She asked, timidly.

Now...

For the dazzling truth.

Shadow grinned at her naiveté; planting soft nuzzles on her left ear. "She's too innocent." He almost said aloud, snickering. "You, of course." He murmured, mildly. "If it hadn't been for you Amy, I would still live the lavish life of solitary that I'd find strangely intriguing to me before you came." The ebony said, closing his eyes and smirking.

Jade orbs closed her eyes and emitted a secret moan coming from her throat, moving her nuzzle to rub Shadows nose like the hedgehog she is. "But living by yourself was something you've always wanted back." The pink flower asked, full of wonder and innocence.

...

That was before.

Crimson orbs pulled away and hung his head, earning a curious blank stare from Amy. "You living with me has been my greatest adventure and my house has never been so upbeat." He confessed to her, raising his neck and opening his eyes. "You smile. You laugh. You hum. You sing. You fuss. You cry. You push. You whine." He said, going word from word.

Amy's cheeks reddened and looked down on her feet self-consciously, fumbling the hem of her hospital gown. "Right there, you make it sound like you know me front and back." She glanced back up, displaying a weird smile.

"Well," Shadow reverted back to his serious gaze, hands on Amy's shoulder's. "You have your ways of drawing attention to yourself." He said, rolling his eyes.

As much as Amy wanted to hear more from the open-heart ebony, she placed both hands up against her bosom and snatched herself away from Shadow, turning her back on him. Walking a few feet further from him and completely forgetting how exposed her backside was, Shadow tried his best to give Amy his respect and turned his wandering eyes away, almost blushing in shame.

He won't give in to temptation.

Amy eyed to her right with a soft and meek expression, ears drooping timidly. "No one has ever spoken so highly of me before, Shadow." She hummed, appreciatively. "Do I…mean that much to you?" She felt stupid asking but, she had to know. She had to find out.

Shadow breathed deeply and smirked confidently, shaking his head at her silly question. "Enough to give up my immortality to live a full life with you and allow our potential love to be buried with us to the grave." He purred and confessed, from the bottom of his heart.

Oh...

...Wow.

Amy quickly turned around as her face shrunk into a daydream, placing a hand over her chest to where her heart was. "Love? Does that mean-" Shaking off her fantasy, she scowled cutely at Shadow. "But when I asked if you loved me yo-"

"I didn't know things like that, Amy." Shadow interrupted the pink flower, rubbing the back of his head. "The only thing I truly understood in myself was wanting to touch you and fulfill whatever cravings I had for you." He admitted, sadly. "Thinking of others without being owed in return. Taking consideration of your feelings before mines. Am I or am I not, making you uncomfortable." He went on, explaining his flaws. "It's almost new to me." Shadow finished, breathlessly.

"Sounds like you need a lot of work." Amy said, putting two and two together.

Shadow crossed his arms and smirk daintily as he gestured a head nod to motion Amy to come closer to him. In doing so, Amy smiled nervously and complied, walking close enough to the ebony and stopping just a foot away from his face. The ebony gave Amy a "thank you" smile, making the forgiving pink flower close her eyes and blush.

When no words were being exchanged, Amy opened her eyes and took the time to try to comprehend Shadow's motives on her regarding almost a couple of nights back. "So, the other night...you never intend to shut me out the way you did all because I didn't give you what you wanted?" She asked, pitifully.

The ebony closed his eyes and nodded, reopening those bright and flaring scarlet eyes. "I never meant to hurt you. I was just that attracted to you." He murmured, dejectedly and in honesty. "I need you, Amy." He looked down her, sighing. "I need you to help me understand whatever feelings I have for you because it feels too damn good to just pass off." He whispered, gloomily.

Amy froze at his words.

"Feelings for me?" Jade orbs blinked, wholeheartedly.

Shadow waited patiently for her answer.

"Come home, Amy." Crimson orbs prayed, hopefully.

"I've never heard him this sincere about anybody." She tried to smile.

"Is she thinking yes?" His mouth gaped at her attempted smile.

"But..." Amy creased her brows.

"Please..." Shadow rose both brows.

Sigh.

Amy shook her head at Shadow's request and hung her head down, taking a huge risk upsetting Shadow.. "I'm sorry...Sonic is picking me up tomorrow " Amy whispered in remorse, ears flinching at the muffled cough from the ebony.

Shadow's world just crashed.

"...I see." Was all Shadow literally said.

Jade orbs glistened in heartbreak when she saw the disappointment in Shadow's expression, fumbling her fingers in agitation. "Sonic came to see me this morning and I told him everything what has happened between you and me." Amy said, feeling her throat get dry. "He took it upon himself to 'save' me from you." She finished, gulping nervously.

No hint of anger was shown on Shadow's face... disappointment but not anger. Carefully, he reached out and cupped Amy's morbid face and lifted it to meet his gaze one...more...time. "Perhaps, I deserve such punishment after the way I've treated you." He murmured her, velvety.

A tear fell form Amy's brimming eyes and she coughed a giggle...Her quivered in sadness because she was feeling like the bad guy now. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sonic is just a dear friend I can't let go." She convinced herself, thinking its best to go with a friend for now.

Or is it?

Shadow half-lidded his orbs and his face silken at the voice or Amy Rose. "You've done so much for me and put a lot of effort into trying to build a friendship only to be taken for granted." He soothed her, thumbing her muzzle.

"I forgive you, Shadow." Amy's heart was beating fast.

"My only regret; was not telling you how much I love you sooner." Shadow confessed, a hint of vibration was added to the 'love' part.

"!"

"Wh-wh-wh-what!?" She stammered, frightfully.

Amy felt Shadow's hand tightened around her face and stayed completely still when she saw him closed his eyes and moved his muzzle down to meet hers. Getting...closer...and closer...Shadow's lips met Amy's and took her on a journey to a...Kiss.

Finally, he was kissing her.

Shadow tilted his head and deepened the kiss exotically earning a whine emitting from Amy's throat as she closed her eyes and felt his lips exploring hers. Amy pressed her lips further and opened her mouth a little, hoping Shadow was daring enough to exchange saliva with her and in doing so...He chuckled and did, much to Amy's pleasure.

The black hedgehog's tongue danced erotically with Amy's, feeling her tongue pushed his to the back of his throat and growled, trying to corner hers. The two fought for strength and dominance yet surprisingly...Amy won.

Crimson orbs opened his eyes hazily and regrettably pulled away from Amy but smirked when he heard a hiss coming from her. He wanted to do much more...to her lips...her face...her body. "I love you, Amy." He purred, releasing his grip from her face. "My respect and feelings for you will go unchanged." He promised her, loving her nonetheless.

Amy was still trying to catch her breath.

Shadow just sigh at Amy's lack of words but shrugged, thinking that she was still in her fantasy world from their kiss. Regardless, he turned his heel and walked a straight line to where the door was located, leaving quiet trails of footsteps behind him. Stopping in front of the door, the ebony looked down at the knob and got a good grip at it. Shadow sigh and looked over his shoulders one last time at the beautiful Amy Rose who still hadn't say anything to him since their kiss.

"Teh, that girl." His mind humored him.

Twisting the door knob softly, Shadow opened the door and gracefully slid himself out room #673, leaving the dazed and confused pink flower by herself in hopes she gets out of her trance already. Or if ever.

The door closed and Amy jumped.

Shadow was gone.

After what it seem like an eternity, Amy shut her eyes and frantically shook her head, comprehending what just happened seconds ago. "He loves me?" She blinked, dreamily. "Shadow came all this way, opened his heart and honesty to me and said he loves me?" She felt her neck heat up and from underneath her fur, the glimmering sweat was trying to pour its way to the surface.

Then she realized a mistake she just made.

Amy always wanted love in her life and when one was given to her on a silver platter, she FROZE up and let it walk out the door?

Unbelievable!

'And you just made excuses and looked at Shadow like an idiot' Her own heart scolded her.

"I know!" Amy wanted to kick herself.

The pink flower wrapped both arms around her head in protection and screamed to herself at her own stupidity, gritting her teeth at letting one of the strongest and probably most handsome hedgehog go. "Sonic...I'm...I'm..." She opened one eye, followed by the other in happiness. Shadow, I'm coming!" She thought in enthusiasm, releasing her grip from her head and dashed crookedly at the door where Shadow had gone out to. Stopping in front of the door, Amy roughly grabbed the knob, twisted it and pulled it opened, quickly staggering out as her heel painfully hit the edge of the door to go after the black hedgehog who has EVER loved her.

...

Guess room #673 is vacant now.

I'm copyrighting the "Nhnnn-Mhmn-hnnn..." humming lyrics. That actually came from MY own singing, lol.

And yes, Shadow can get a little emotional…Read Sonic the Hedgehog comic issue 171. Oh, and think its about time Shadow gets his revenge on Sonic already?

Find out next Chapter or so. Hopefully soon, I'm booked for the rest of March.
