Chapter 4: In pie we trust.
That same day on a Monday soon became nightfall. The time right now is 7:18 p.m.
As dusk spread across the sky, shading the areas of the deep woods near the Mystic Ruins region, it began to snow. For some, the darkness was known to be; mysterious, inaudible, and, arousing. But soon forgotten when tiny forms of crystallize water gently fluttered its way down the surface, giving off such tranquility in a snowy night.
Although the night is peaceful and undisturbed, that cannot be said the same way between two hedgehogs coexisting with eachother inside the one story beige house at the moment...
The hard-working hedgehog Amy Rose tossed the last piece of food package in the refrigerator. While still in her uniform and outer winter attire the pink flower decides to take a breather by leaning back on the fridge, loosing up her scarf in the process. The only thing Amy left out on the kitchen counter near the stove is; uncooked tender-beef, pie crust, flour and other mixture, a can of pie-filling, and vegetables. She's planning to cook tonight.
Once Amy caught her breath, she removed herself from her leaning position off the fridge and stomped her way out the kitchen, grinning in irritation. Once the pink flower made her way to the living room, she sat down on the sofa in frustration and crossed her arms. As Amy looked to her left, she glared at Shadow with his back turned, standing in front of the fireplace as it gave off extraordinary warmth. Seems that Shadow was talking to someone through a...
Wrist-watch communicator?
Waiting impatiently with her arms crossed and foot tapping on the plush carpet, Shadow finally signed off with the person through his wrist-watch communicator with a depressing sigh. But couldn't help eyeballing the stubborn pink flower who couldn't wait to give him shit.
Amy didn't hesitate at all to scold Shadow after a long day at work and putting up the groceries all by herself. "Hey Shadow!?" The pink flower gave off a sharp tone of her voice.
Still wearing the dark grey jeans since this morning, Shadow took his attention away from his wrist-watch device, turning a little to his left to face the snappy pink flower. Giving off his disapproval look after the pink flower decided to put him on blast, he mentally prepared himself for argument. Oh well, bad karma when you're the one who started off as the jerk this morning.
"Thank you for not helping me with the groceries after a long day of work. High-Five!" Amy spat sarcastically, using her right arm to gesture a "high-five" in the air.
Shadow wrinkled his face.
He refused to let Amy's crude humor get to him this time, especially that whole needledick joke he still hasn't gotten over. "I see you got jokes tonight, Rose. I was in a middle of a transmission with the commander from G.U.N. H.Q. when you asked me to help you. I couldn't afford to miss out whatever I'm being told." Shadow responded, ignoring the pink flowers sarcasm.
Flipping her arms out, the aggravated Amy goes on. "But come on, Shadow! Didn't you see me struggling with those two large bags as I made my way inside the house? I had one on each arm so that should've said something. Lastly, can you imagine how difficult for me it was to even knock on the door before you opened it? The weight was killing me." The upset pink lady said, showing no signs of tiredness after explaining all that.
The solemn black hedgehog sharply placed a hand over his head in dissatisfaction…She's really killing him softly now.
Shadow's scarlet eyes peeked through his fingers. "At least I answered the door for you when I heard you calling my name like eight times as if you were being chased by some serial killer. Did I make you wait outside in that bone-chilling weather until I was finished? No." Shadow replied curtly, removing his hand off his head, letting it fall limp on his side.
Of course he wasn't finished.
"And as far as the groceries Rose, it didn't even look all that hard to carry. That's funny hearing your last sentence because you hold your silly hammer like it's a pillow. Yet you're telling me holding two large big brown grocery bags prove to be a challenge?" The black hedgehog questioned, in aggravation.
Okay, he got her there. Thinking a way to defend herself, Amy looked down on her lap for a sec trying to come up a way to win this never-ending bicker she started. Her ears perked up as a thought came in her head and looked up at Shadow, gritting her teeth. "Yeah but, the whole time you were talking to...I don't know your boss, you could've took one bag off my arm. Or not asking for too much, help me put away one grocery here or there. It's not like your wrist-watch communicator was gonna fly out the chimney." The pink flower said, hoping she got this little match.
Seeing as Amy is having difficulty winning this silly bickering, Shadow smirked as he got something else to throw at. "And if I did that, I would've missed whatever information H.Q. was providing me. Whose fault would that be? Would it been okay for me to tell G.U.N. how much you were constantly disrupting me during my important transmission. How bad would that look on you Ms. Freedom Fighter?" He cornered Amy, thinking HE got this match.
While Shadow appeared smug, Amy folded her ears in desperation. "The hell I won't lose to him." The pink flower mentally thought of another tactic, lowering her head for a sec once again.
Suddenly Amy hid a sneaky laugh.
"What is she thinking?" The ebony cocked an eye-brow, in question.
Looking directly in his face now, displayed a confident smirk that rivaled Shadow's. "Some Ultimate-Lifeform you are..." She trailed off, humming to herself playfully.
Shadow face fell and raised both his brows at her comment.
You've always bragged in the past that you're perfect, above average, able to perform a lot of things accurately and accordingly. But you just admit that you can't even multi-task talking to G.U.N. through some watch and help carry one of the bags to the kitchen." The pink lady began.
The black hedgehog partially gaped not knowing what to say to that.
"Let's not forget that you claimed that you're unable to help put away groceries, too. I guess there's a flaw in everything and everyone, Hedgehog Wonder!" Amy pointed her finger at Shadow after her last sentence.
Shadow was at a loss for words as he just stared at her in disbelief.
There is an awkward moment between the two hedgehogs with Amy still pointing her finger at Shadow.
...
Next sound is made...
*Clap*clap*clap*
A "slow-clap" came from the defeated handsome dark hedgehog. "Pretty damn good, Rose..." Shadow thought how ridiculously he lost like this.
Yeah, she won.
Slowly turning back around facing the blazing flames from the fire-place and sitting down crossing his legs, Shadow then placed his elbows on his thighs holding his face up. A harsh puff was made escaping his lungs.
The pink lady's so-called cheery voice breaks the silence.
"So did I win?" Amy bluntly said, trying not to let Shadow see her excitement. She is finding it extremely hard holding her smile.
"If that's what you wanna call it, then yeah." Shadow rolled his eyes, still not looking at Amy.
With no care in the world, Amy lifted her arms in the air hissing the word 'yes' in triumph. She dropped her arms to her sides and leaned back on the sofa feeling proud of herself. The pink flower nearly forgot to untie her pony-tail and removed her outer winter attire. The fireplace was already providing such warmth so; she took off everything except her uniform she still got on while shaking her quills loose after undoing the band. Placing her outer wear on the side of the sofa, she removed her snow boots and felt the softness of the plushy carpet against her feet.
Amy then looked at Shadow a second time, not once moved from the sitting position since she won their little 'fight'. She softened her gaze and got on the floor, crawling her way towards Shadow, sitting right next to him with knees touching her chest as she looked at the fire-place also.
"Too close, Rose." He said in a low tone, bearing a solemn attitude.
Amy turned her head at Shadow with a playful sour face, looking at him who still bore an expressionless face looking at the flames.
The pink flower has one arm on her thigh just holding her face up and lazily smiled at him. "Still worked up over that petty fight we had, Hedgehog Wonder?" Amy said, poking fun at Shadow.
Shadow turned head at Amy crossing his arms, not liking the new nickname she's created for him. "Rose, you started it that time." He countered, plainly.
"And I finished it, too." She bellowed boldly, sticking her tongue out.
Shadow's throat made low growl at Amy's childish demeanor but thought of a quick way to get her back. "Do that again and I'll find better use for that tongue." He smirked darkly after his threat.
Verde sphere widened at the thought of...what the hell did he mean by that? Oh Chaos..."Wai...What..NO!" Amy said in disgust, scooting away from Shadow now.
The ebony snickered as the pink flower moved away. "Heh, that got you into giving me some space. Maybe I should try that method from now on." He said liking the idea of making Amy coy on purpose.
The flustered pink hedgehog gave Shadow an unpleasant look. Thus sharply turning her head the other direction with her eyes closed giving off a girly "hmph".
Hiding a snicker, the dark hedgehog then used both arms to lean back a bit, turning his attention to the blazing fire-place. His face softened as he gazed at the flames, trying to relax himself.
Amy blinked at the look of Shadow's expression now. He seems a bit...mellow right now. Still keeping her distance from the black hedgehog after that perverted comment or whatever he had in mind, the pink flower looked down on her fingers and fiddled them for a bit. "Say Shadow...um you seem to be..." The pink lady asked, trying to find the right words.
Shadow closed his eyes for a bit as he seemed to be in thought. "I know what you're thinking, Rose. There's a last-minute briefing at G.U.N. H.Q. and I have to get there very early in the morning. I'm being level-headed now because the meeting tomorrow is all day and I'm just trying my best not to think about it." Shadow explained, smoothly.
Amy tilted her head to the right somewhat into the conversation now, scooting back closer to Shadow. "This G.U.N. Shadow...they seem to do things differently from what me and the gang do as far as protecting lives." She spoke, trying to be careful with her words.
"H.Q. has their own way of how they want to run things, Rose. But nonetheless, we still do it in the name of peace." He said in clarity.
"Hm..." Was Amy's only response after listening to Shadow.
The pink flower then perked her ears up as she suddenly remembered something.
She has to make dinner.
The black hedgehog heard a movement from his side as Amy got up from her seat humming her way to the kitchen. As he took a glance at her, he can already tell as her back was turned to him, bearing a pleased look on her face.
"What's with the face?" Shadow questioned, smoothly.
Amy made a brief halt only to sharply turn back around looking at Shadow, still displaying glee on her face with her hands behind her back. "We actually had a normal conversation for once. No forms of arguments whatsoever, though it was a pretty small talk." Amy answered him, humbly.
"Like I said before, I'm trying to be level-headed now. Nothing will change between us." He concluded.
"Whatever you say, Shadow." This time, it was Amy's turn to be nonchalant.
She then swiftly made her way back to the kitchen getting ready to cook tender-beef pot-pie tonight.
Current time now is 8:57 p.m. the cozy one story house.
Some parts of the house light were turned off whereas; only the kitchen has the light on. The living room is somewhat dimmed because the fireplace was providing its natural heat and light giving off a relaxing atmosphere. Despite its serenity, only some noise in the kitchen were heard seeing as Amy was trying to get the stubborn ebony to eat his slice of pie.
Talk about a late dinner at this time of night.
"C'mon Shadow, I didn't make this all for me!" The pink lady urged Shadow to eat his slice.
Shadow scratched the quills in the back of his head trying to find a way out of dinner. "Rose, I'm not hungry. Matter of fact, due to my creation I don't get as hungry as quick like everyone else." He spoke, trying to avoid Amy's cooking.
"Pick up the fork and stop being so unreasonable!" Amy said, now pushing her luck.
Shadow's lip's moved to the corner right of his muzzle in annoyance, he's not looking forward to another losing battle with Amy. "Pretty bold there, Rose. Just remember whose house this is." He reminded her, knowing that only he and he ALONE makes the rules of this house. He didn't understand some things at the moment. As far as dealing with Amy; she stands up to him, she recently gets the last word or last insult, he's even giving in to her for Chaos sake.
He was having second thoughts about the blue faker being his match.
Grabbing his fork, he stabbed his slice of pie and began to eat. Amy cannot seem to stand the suspense.
The pink flower partially sat up from her seat looking down Shadow with such curiosity. She just gotta know how her cooking was.
"Well...is it….good?" Amy said, as she emphasized with some patience.
"It's alright." Shadow expressed bluntly getting another fork-full of the pie. .
"But does it taste bad? It's not everyday I make tender-beef potpie." Amy desperately asked, awaiting Shadow's approval about her cooking.
Shadow rolled his eyes at the paranoid pink lady. "Rose. It's alright and I'm eating it, aren't I?" He said, in a matter-of-face tone.
"I guess..." Amy sighed.
The pink flower sat back down with little disappointment wanting a better compliment than an 'alright'. She only makes tender-beef pot pie on during the winter time or if there are any other cold days throughout the year.
"Rose?" The black hedgehog mentioned the pink flower names while still looking down at his pie, eating it.
Amy perked up her ears and lifted her head up by the sound of her last name. "Yeah, Shadow?" She responded, in hopes he changed his mind about how "alright" her food was.
The dark hedgehog cleared his voice. "How often you make pies?" He asked, lowly.
...
Oh.
Amy blinked, wondering why he asked that short of question but still disregard it afterwards and smiled proudly. "Um..in the winter time, Shadow. Or maybe when days get very cold throughout the year." She kind of cheered, much to her delight.
"That's all I wanted to hear." The solemn hedgehog said, seeing as he got the answer he wanted to know.
"Sure...okay then." Amy's ears flattened, thinking she was going to have another 'small talk' with Shadow but didn't.
As both pink and black hedgehog continued to eat in silence, Amy became the first one to finish her dinner. Although the food was very good… for her, she couldn't get another slice seeing as it's already late and getting more food in her stomach will make it harder for her to sleep tonight.
Amy then got up from her seat and stretched her arms out in tiredness; Shadow eyeballed her sudden movement while finishing up his meal.
"I'm going to take a shower and turn in for tonight, Shadow. I'll try to be quick." She yawned, tiredly.
Shadow consumed his pie to the last crumb in silent satisfaction.
"Teh…" Was the only his response already hearing the lie in Amy's voice.
Amy made a semi sour face but decided to let it go. She walked her way out the kitchen and hung her head in fatigue to the living room. At the corner of the wall near the fireplace; she goes to her brown suitcase and unlocked the clicks. She grabbed out her long white nightgown for tonight and tiredly walked to the bathroom, placing her hand over her mouth to keep from yawning. She slowly turned the knob, opened it, and slammed it shut the minute she got in.
Hot steamy shower was now heard coming down from the nozzle behind the bathroom door.
Sometime later couple hours past dead time...
It is still dark and the sun has not risen yet. Although it was what to be consider very early in the morning.
All lights in the house were completely off yet the fireplace was still providing its own source of light in the living room, making the place fairly lit up.
On the sofa, a pink sleeping beauty in her long white night-gown is lying on her back. She slowly raised one knee up and tossed her head sideways, giggling whatever she is dreaming.
Her verde spheres that normally shone its brilliance are now completely covered by her eyelids, protecting any uninviting substance from coming in. Amy's chest slowly rose up and down as she started to toss in her sleep, slowly moving on her left side as a sweet snore escaped her lips.
Footsteps were faintly being heard coming from the hallway making its way to the living room. Getting louder and louder, the footstep belonged to Shadow was completely cloth-less and has on his trademark hover shoes. He groaned to himself, expecting to be stuck in G.U.N.s last minute briefing all day tomorrow, which was today.
In one of his hand, he holds his only house key and quietly walked to the sleeping individual on the sofa. Without making a noise, Shadow bend over a bit and placed the key next to Amy's snow boots so she will be able to get in and out the house without anyone present to let her in.
Once that was taken care of, Shadow began to walk towards the front door, preparing to run in super speed in the snowy cold weather. But then immediately stopped as he heard a shiver coming from behind him. Turning back around, the concern dark hedgehog noticed that Amy has unconsciously wrapped her arms in her sleep in attempt to keep from being too cold.
The flames are burning intensely from the fire-place but Shadow cannot deny the fact that it has gotten a little colder just before dawn.
Shadow gazed deeply at the sleeping form on the sofa who began to tremble a little out of minor coldness. He then walked back to the hallway and stopped to his living room closet, rummaging through some things...Ah Ha, he's got it.
The black hedgehog walked back to the unconscious form with a blanket around his arm.
Stopping in front of the pink flower who still struggled to keep warm in her sleep and rubbing her arms together, Shadow spread out the blanket in the air and let it fall softly on top of Amy. Within seconds, Amy stopped shivering and resumed sleeping soundly with a deep coo.
"Only because you know how to make a good pie, Rose." Shadow admittedly thought, knowing the slumbering pink flower cannot hear him.
Without wasting anymore time, Shadow then power-walked towards the front door. Twisting the doorknob to open and unlocking it from behind, he steps outside unintentionally allowing the cold snowy weather embrace him. Even he's not fond of this damn cold.
Shadow then took off in super speed through the patchy ground, leaving a glowing trail from his hover shoes behind.
