Chapter 3: Enter Tikal.
It's been two days since the confrontation between Amy and Shadow on that dreadful night. All weekend long Amy had respectfully tried to make her presence very little around Shadow without upsetting him. This prove to be difficult for the pink lady, seeing as she's not one to lie low like that.
On several attempts, Amy has tried to be cooperative and start with any topics she can think of with the dark handsome hedgehog but all Shadow gave her was the silent treatment. This tactic would've work for Shadow had Amy kept repeatedly asked him if she can have any of his empty rooms she spotted the first night she came. Seeing as her "room" was the living room and the "sofa" was her bed yet what's worse of all, Shadow never offered her a blanket. After repeatedly asking Shadow over and over for a personal space the black hedgehog gave in to the pink flower's constant rambling with a harsh no and didn't attempt to use the silent treatment anymore. Now...he just makes sure to keep his conversation with Amy to a minimum.
Or at least he thought.
Within the beige house that kept its individuals warm and protected from the chilly weather, the pink flower exited the bathroom with such ecstasy. Feeling fresh and revitalized after a hot steamy shower.
"That was the best shower I've ever had!" Amy's cheerful voice sounded off the entire house.
"You mean the longest shower you've ever took!" Shadow called out, from the kitchen.
Perfect…
Another reason to lash out on the pink flower.
Joy seemed to disappear quickly from Amy as she rolled her eyes ignoring Shadow's uncalled remark. He seemed to have gotten up earlier than she did now that Amy notice. Maybe because he wanted to beat her in taking a shower first before she ever woke up and took her sweet time in the bathroom.
She just shrugged.
Now dressed comfortably, Amy wore; black trouser pants that especially hugged her waistline hinting off the shape of her figure, white ruffled long sleeve blouse that was tucked in her pants, bare-footed now and, quills tied up to a pony-tail. Today was Monday and the pink flower was just getting ready to go to work at her local restaurant call, 'Down Yonder'.
Humming to herself, Amy began walking her way towards the kitchen to join Shadow but screeched to a halt just to take a chance to look out the window.
"Looks like the snow storm stopped overnight. Glad it was over the weekend when it happened. I can walk to work with ease." Amy happily thought, continuing walking to the kitchen and slightly swung her arms to whatever song she hummed.
Passing the living room, Amy finally step foot into the kitchen and eyeballed Shadow for a second. Currently sitting down sipping his coffee, the black hedgehog was only dressed in; dark grey jeans, currently shirtless, and was also bare-footed. He took one glance at Amy seeing as she's dressed for work today and went back drinking coffee whereas the hungry pink flower opens the fridge.
"Shadow, how come you don't have much food here?" Amy asked, looking all over the fridge.
"Because I usually eat takeout's." Shadow mumbled, aimlessly.
Amy looks over her shoulder after he answered, twisting an innocent smile. "So you don't know how to cook then, right?" She said, taking a wild guess.
"Excuse me?" Shadow looked up from his coffee, cocking a brow.
"Just asking, shit." Amy quickly said, closing the fridge seeing as she can't find anything she like to eat. "I'll eat at work then." The pink lady sighed, rubbing her scalp and the feeling in her stomach growling in hunger gets to her.
Walking towards her ebony roommate, Amy pulled out a chair and took a seat across from Shadow. Elbows on the table and using her hands to hold her face up, she meekly smiled at him in front of her. She was really trying to be on good terms with Shadow despite how much he doesn't want her around him.
Shadow eyes narrowly gave Amy the What-is-it-now look.
"And there's that look..." The pink flower resist smacking that look off of Shadow. "Maybe I'll take care of the groceries and cook from now on, how's that? It's the least I can do as your roommate as far as contributing." Amy suggested, while trying to be positive.
She's really trying hard to be good terms with him.
Shadow almost snorted a snicker after just hearing the word 'roommate'. Setting down his coffee, he lowered his eye-lids and gave her a nonchalant look. "You're someone I wouldn't even call a roommate." He spoke, catching Amy off guard. "Honestly, you're still a stranger in my life, you hammer-using-maniac." He insulted Amy, purposely.
The pink flower slammed her hands faced down on the kitchen table which gained Shadow's full attention, almost causing his coffee to spill. She glared intensively at the arrogant black hedgehog after a comment like that.
Shadow just smirked, seeing as he wasn't threatened by her little tantrum. When Amy saw that from Shadow, bared her fangs at him. Something she does on a rare occasion. "Didn't know she had it in her." He thought, awaiting Amy to explode in…
Three,
Two,
One.
"Shadow," The pink flowered creased her brows, screaming at the top of her lungs. "I'm only trying to be nice and taking part of contributing so I don't feel like a total freeloader. Yet, you're totally disregarding what I owe in return!" She flustered, taking frustrated breaths.
Oh, the casual black hedgehog just brought back his coffee mug back to his lips. "Rose, I'm only speaking the truth." He said replied, quietly. "No need to get pissy." He shrugged at her anger, resuming drinking his coffee.
Amy just gaped. "Look who's talking." She pouted to herself, closing her eyes while keeping a pissy smile together. "Me? Pissy? Um...couple of nights ago, do you recall ever roaring in anger and throwing a book at me on the first night?" The pink flower questioned, remembering how the book came flying towards her.
"News flash pink doofus, I was extremely tired when all that went down." He countered, putting down his coffee mug and looking ahead at the ticked Amy Rose. "So, it's only natural that I'd be grouchy in that manner." Shadow explained, in a gruff.
"You're grouchy all the time..." The pink lady lowered her voice.
"Correction, I've been grouchy since you've come." Shadow said, getting the last word.
Not wanting to press the issue further, Amy abruptly got up from her seat and sent one last glare at the black hedgehog as she walked out the kitchen. Shadow turn partially around and witness her putting on her heavy purple jacket, her brown snow boots, and wrapped a scarf around her neck. On her right hand, she was carrying her low heel black shoes to put on the minute she's at her job. He can clearly see she was heading to work pretty early.
Or more like avoid an argument from happening.
Reaching for his IPhone 4 next to him on the table, he tapped into it to see what time it is. Hiding a dark chuckle, Shadow cannot afford to let this opportunity to pass. He couldn't help pulling Amy's leg as he is dying to get some form of retaliation.
"Hey Rose," Shadow called out, smoothly. "It's only 8:27 a.m., isn't it too early to be heading for work?" He asked and waited, earning a nasty glare from the pink flower.
Holding the door mid-open, Amy continued to give a scornful look at Shadow. "I'm leaving now, Shadow!" And with that, Amy stormed out slamming the front door shut.
Not exactly happy that Shadow was pushing her buttons.
Mission accomplished. Shadow then turned back around, leaning back against his chair and casually placed both his arms behind his head. He pulled small smirk, feeling good about himself now.
"Hmph." Shadow gruffed his traditional catch-phrase.
"Right back at you, needledick!" Amy shouted from outside, obviously hearing Shadow's grunt.
"..."
Eh?
Facial expression went from a victorious smirk to a now confused look as Shadow's arms slowly dropped back down to his sides
Did that pink idiot really paid attention to...
Feeling a bit self-conscious, Shadow stretched open his pants and glanced at his manhood, trying comprehend what Amy was talking about. "What does she know about size?" He thought, not believing he let Amy's insult get to him.
Outside in the crisp icy cold weather...
Amy practically stomped her feet onto the snow while clutching her low heel black shoes in her right hand in anger on her way to work. Good thing the snow wasn't too deep enough for her to walk seeing as she is not further away from her job. Matter of fact, since living with Shadow, the distance from her 'temporary' home to her job, wasn't too far off.
Least that's convenient.
The pink flower depressingly sighed. Slouching her shoulders with her head hanging down after the almost-to-be argument, Amy really can't stand the way how Shadow treats her so coldly or give her the brush off everytime she tried to be nice to him. She wondered why he hated her so much. And as much Amy would like to ask Shadow, she doesn't want to give him another reason to throw her out. For now, she dropped the subject in hopes it wouldn't cross her mind again.
Checking out her surroundings, Amy notices how beautifully the recent snow storm covered the environment; the ground, trees and plants, and some parts of the hills. Looking further ahead the pink flower awe in delight at the once brown tall mountains now trapped under sheets of ice and snow. Everywhere seemed so smooth. If that wasn't enough to put Amy back in a good mood, she look up towards the sky and nearly lost the will to breath. The blue sky radiates its beauty all across the land, not a single cloud in sight.
While walking in admiration, Amy's verde color eyes sparkled with such glee and pulled the most beautiful smile she's ever made all morning. Nature sure has its way to make individuals forget about their troubles.
Nothing can ruin Amy's day now.
Not even the dark arrogant hedgehog she has to deal with on a daily basis.
But soon after...
"Amy?" A feminine and friendly voice echoed. "Amy is that you?" The sweet voice called, again.
The pink flower was immediately brought back to reality and came to a brief halt, turning around to the voice calling her from behind. Her face brightened even more as the figure came closer.
It was Tikal the Echidna.
"Morning, Tikal." Amy respectively called out to her co-worker and wave, never ceasing her smile.
Jogging up towards the pink hedgehog, an orange/caramel echidna with intense sapphire eyes caught up to Amy. When the Tikal got close, she went to went a halt.
At age 19 Tikal the Echidna, also works at 'Down Yonder' restaurant with her co-worker Amy Rose. While Amy works as a hostess, Tikal works as the server. The attractive echidna's uniform was the very same attire that Amy wore. As far as the winter attire from the outside, the orange/caramel echida wore; long black trench coat, grey snow boots and, white earmuffs. Lastly, a gray winter hat. However, Tikal was not wearing a scarf wrapped around her neck due to being bundled up as was.
"Hello, Amy how...my um...oh..." Tikal stuttered with a flush, blinking at how much beauty and shine was radiating from off Amy's face.
She's just impressed how pretty Amy looks in cold weather like this.
Feeling a bit thrown off now, the pink hedgehog scratched the back of her head, wondering why Tikal started to stuttered like that as she tilted her head to the left. "You okay, Tikal?" Amy asked, trying to bring her co-worker back to Mobius.
Realizing how dumbfounded she probably looked, Tikal jumped back to composure and smile out of embarrassment, placing one arm behind her head trying to get out of her bashful situation. "Of course not, dear." She said, still grinning. "Just that...you seem in such a wonderful mood." She finished, rubbing the back of her head.
Amy pulled a poker face and blinked in confusion, jumping back to her usual smile as she understood what her friend was talking about. "Oh...OH I see what you mean." She said, looking down at her feet. "Sorry, I sort of went into a lovely daydream just being surrounded by the outdoors and snow." The pink flower rose her head up, crossing her arms. "Matter of fact, it proved to be therapeutic after my crappy morning." She sighed, dropping both her arms and a smile.
Not wanting to pry too much, Tikal shyly asks the pink flower. "I'm sorry to hear that um...mind telling me what happen? Or if it's..too...perso-"
Amy shook her head and closed her eyes at the same time, interrupting her co-worker. "No, it's fine. Just few of day ago, I got evicted from my apartment immediately and I wasn't prepared what to do afterwards all." She started recalling the events. "I jot down a list of friends and only came up with one guy who probably could help me out. My only problem with him is, he's not socially acceptance towards others." She explained herself, reopening her eyes.
"Oh, I see." Was all Tikal said.
Least he let me stay after our rough confrontation." Amy finished, verde spheres dulled in sadness.
Tikal and Amy only see themselves as 'friends on the job', they hardly tell one another's personal lives or business though the orange/caramel echidna herself was very familiar with Amy being one of the Freedom Fighters. All while at the same time, Amy only sees Tikal as someone harmonious and gentle.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Um like a bad roommate or something?" Tikal said, sympathizing at Amy's story.
"Yeah, Shadow's not favorable with anyone in his life." The pink flower blundered and gasped, face-palming in silliness due to mentioning Shadow's name "Oopsy." She thought, stupidly.
"That's his name? Shadow?" Sapphire spheres echidna asked, catching on to Amy's slip-up.
"Yea um...that's his name. C'mon, let's head to work now." Amy reminded Tikal and herself, in hopes of ending the conversation. "It's going to be a busy Monday morning so, let's hurry." She cheered on, turning around and encouraging her co-worker to follow.
Tikal can already tell that Amy doesn't wish to continue having this conversation and so...went with it, jumping into a giddy attitude. "Mmm, sure!" She nodded her head and responded, perking up a smile.
Both hedgehog and echidna resumed walking to work in the crisp cool weather with the snow beneath their feet leaving footprints behind. As they head towards their job, they each said their own prayers in silence in hopes of a possible slow Monday.
