Chapter 7: With Shadow.

The clouds had settled in overnight.

In which developed a gloomy thick fog that shielded the sun rays from ever piercing through on a depressive Thursday morning. Because the bleak ice droplets refused to reshape into snow, the air became very stale and odorless. Yet still capable of freezing an ignorant individual on the spot, if remained in the afflictive cold for too long. Despite how agonizing the frosty environ is, it wasn't enough to completely stop the clothless black hedgehog from taking a stroll into the desolate woods which was disturbingly quiet.

Passing through leafless trees, hover shoes hopping over roots high enough to trip someone, and looking over snow covered bushes. Shadow walked with his head up high with a...displeased look on his face?

"How does Rose walk to work in this weather 5 days a week?" Shadow thought unbelievably, displaying a shallow smirk while tapping into his IPhone 4. He passed more trees going further in, though Shadow had to jerk one step back to avoid one tree branch from hitting his face. He resumed walking. "Hmph, emphasis on the word, WALK!" He gruff, lazily rubbing the side of his temple as he's leaving foot trails from behind.

What was Shadow doing outside in the damn cold anyway?

This morning, Shadow had to suppressed a...What was that crappy feeling you get when you're in the wrong over someone? Guilt? Well, earlier today Amy was fairly hush-hush. Sure she said good morning...with her eyes partially looking down on the floor. And she made both her and Shadow strawberry crepes for breakfast, yet ate in silence. So why wasn't Amy being herself today?

Because Shadow wasn't listening to Rouge about opening up, therefore making Amy feel like a total idiot last night when she attempted to have a conversation with him. And telling someone you just ONLY like motorcycles does not count as opening up.

That's why he's taking a damn stroll in the cold thinking about last night and how Amy was behaving this morning. This opening up is a lot harder for him than he realized.

"I complimented Rose when she wore her blue gown last night...Well not directly in her face." Shadow slouched his shoulders in anticipation. "I even gave her a blanket when she was cold a few nights ago. Rose said thanks the next time she saw me and I acknowledged it. But when I skipped out on one conversation she wants to get all sad about it?" He grimaced, remembering how let-down the pink flower was this morning. He flicked his hand the other direction merely trying to brush it off.

After some time walking by himself, Shadow came across an old stump and took the opportunity to sit on it, feeling the coolness hit his bottom. Still burning his face in his IPhone 4, that same crappy feeling you get over someone came back to his mind, causing him wrinkle his face in disgust. "Ugh...this damn feeling again." Shadow mentally hollered, in frustration. What does Rose want from me? An autobiography! I told Rouge I'm not the sort of guy cut out for these things yet Rose makes it looks so easy..." He softly finished at the end.

Crossing his legs, the black hedgehog tapped into his phone checking to see what it is until...

His IPhone 4 vibrated in his hand.

Shadow narrowed his eyes curiously to look closer at the screen.

-Unknown Caller appeared on screen-

"..."

The dark hedgehog clearly did not recognize this number.

"Who else has my number besides Rouge and G.U.N.?" Shadow mumbled menacingly, as he pushed the talk button. Putting it on speaker, he heard the very voice he didn't feel like listening in all his days.

"Hey Shadow, are you there? This is Sonic the Hedgehog." A familiar cocky voice was heard from the other end of Shadow's IPhone 4.

...

Oh. HELL NO!

All Shadow did was blankly stared at his phone, ignoring the freezing air surrounding him...Well; he almost let his phone slipped off his hand just in time to grab it before it hit the snow. Turning off speaker now, he placed the phone by his ear letting out a faint sigh.

"Shadow? Shadow! Yo, Shadow was that you breathing?" Sonic snickered, repeatedly saying the ebony's name.

"Stop calling my name like I'm your friend." Shadow replied, sounding bored already. "And how the did you get this number, blue hedgehog?" He interrogated, darkly.

"Nice to hear you're doing well too." Sonic humored, himself.

"Answer the question. How the hell did you get this number?" Shadow asked again, his patience was already wearing thin.

"That's not important right now I'm-"

"I think it is important because I don't want you calling me again." The ebony rudely interrupted the blue blur.

"Hahaha, you're the best Shadow." The blue blur mocked in sarcasm. "Seriously, I called to ask you if you've seen someone."

"If someone was ever missing in your life YOU take the initiation to find that person."

"That's the thing, smart ass. I already tried searchi-"

"Well then look harder, blue hedgehog!"

"Dammit SHADOW, would you stop interrupting me!" Sonic slightly raised his voice.

"Don't you EVER tell me what to do!" Shadow barked, topping over Sonic's yelling. "Last chance, how did you get my number?"

"As much as I want to tussle with you Shadow, there is a reason why I am calling you." Sonic replied, refusing to answer Shadow.

"I'm hanging up because you failed to comprehend my question three times!" The ebony removed the phone off his ear getting ready to hang up.

"Dude, I'm just going to call right back!" Sonic puffed a laugh, finalizing his words.

-Click-

Shadow hung up on Sonic and hopped off the old tree stump. He stretched his legs after sitting down too long and wrapped his arms around himself, rubbing them together seeing as he forgot how cold it was outside. Just when he was getting ready to use his super speed to return home, his phone started vibrating. Again…

-Unknown Caller appeared on screen-

The blue blur, as promised, did call back Shadow.

Throwing his head back, inhaling and exhaling a deep breath of reluctance, Shadow pressed the talk button again and placed the phone up to his ear "You must really have a death wish, Sonic." His maliciously deep voice was sent through the phone.

"I really missed you Shadow. It's been like...17 seconds ago since we last talked?" Sonic ignored Shadow's tone of venom, sounding laid-back over the phone.

"Blue hedgehog, I'm not looking forward to your games right now."

"Wouldn't be one if you just WAIT till I finish asking you who I'm looking for. And if you give me a few minutes of your time, I'll tell you how I got your number. Deal?"

"Very well then but make it quick. I don't plan on speaking to you any longer than I should."

"Gotcha. Well, I wanted to know if you've seen Amy?"

"Rose?" Shadow acted surprised, pretending this is the first time he's heard of Amy in awhile.

"Why do you always call Amy by her last name?" Sonic asked, never understanding that part from Shadow.

"Remember our little deal." Shadow reminded Sonic.

"Talk about being impatient." Sonic growled, sarcastically. "Anyway, last me and the gang heard from Amy was about almost a week ago."

"Probably the same time when she moved in with me." Shadow flexed his brows, scratching his quills in thought.

"I called her house phone to check on her and there was no service. So using my super speed, I got to her home in minutes and began knocking on her door. Still not getting any answers, I peeked through Amy's window noticed most of her stuff is gone except a few furniture's left behind."

"And you want to see if I've seen your little friend, is that it?"

"Yeah so...have you seen her, Fake-um I mean Shadow? It's unlike Amy to be this quiet." The blue blur said, sounding a bit worried.

"Amy needs to get out of her comfort zone from her friends anyway." Rouge's voice echoed in Shadow's head.

Shadow did not hesitate to give Sonic his answer about Amy's whereabouts. "No. I haven't seen Rose, blue hedgehog." He lied, faking a perfect innocence.

"...Shadow, are you sure?" Sonic sighed, feeling a little down. "Tails, Cream, and Knuckles don't know. Scourge's been with me the whole time so we're both pretty clueless and Rouge..."

Scarlet eyes widened. "Fuck Rouge, did you open your mouth?" Shadow almost blurted, in disbelief.

Sonic continued. "Rouge said... she hasn't heard or seen Amy either."

Whew.

"That Rouge had better." Shadow mentally sighed, in relief.

"I haven't seen Rose at all, blue hedgehog. And if I'm not mistaken, Rose IS a grown woman." Shadow's maturity surprised Sonic over the phone. "If she was in real trouble, she'd call you and the rest of the peanut gallery already. You've seen it yourself blue hedgehog, she's capable of handling herself."

There was a brief pause between the two rivals until an unhappy sigh came Sonic.

"Okay if you say so then, Shadow. But if you see Amy, tell her the gang is asking for her and hope she's doing okay."

"Whatever." Shadow said, shrugging nonchalantly.

"Alright so...um see ya later?"

"Now wait just a damn minute our deal, blue hedgehog? How did you get my number?"

"...Well, since I didn't have any contact info about you, I had to go as far as going to G.U.N." Sonic began with a light chuckle, earning a scowl from Shadow over the phone."Hero or not, it was hard passing through those guards by the main gates. I could've sped past them and went straight to the guy in charge but, I had to keep reminding myself that you work for them. Finally, I told them it was concerning a missing friend and you were my last lead. Once the guards escorted me to your boss Shadow I asked him I needed your address and...

Shadow clenched his phone. "You come anywhere near my property and I'll shove my pistol in your ass!" He said, threateningly.

The blue blur faked a frightened gasp. "Whoa Shadow slow your roll, we're both dude's! I'm not into that sort of thing."

It really took all of Shadow's will-power from grabbing Sonic through the phone just to strangle him. "I meant...my...firearm, you moron." The black hedgehog hissed lowly, sounding so deadly and full of malice

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." The blue blur cracks up in hysterical laughter. "Your G.U.N. boss-man just gave me your cellphone number instead of your address. Though, he was a bit hesitant to do that at first. But once again, what I said to his guards, I explained to him also and luckily he acknowledged that."

Note to Shadow: Remind his G.U.N. commander not to give out his info to the blue fiend again until he is contacted first. No matter what!

"Very well, it all makes sense. Though I'm not happy hearing all that." Shadow said apathetically, shaking his head.

"When are you happy about something?" Sonic said, truthfully.

That's hitting below the belt now.

"I'm done talking to you." Shadow finally had it with the blue hedgehog mocking him even if it was the truth. "Now get off-"

"Shadow? Shadow wait, (crackles a bit) one more thing!" Sonic muffled a cocky laugh.

"What is it now?" Shadow said, tapping his foot on the snow impatiently.

"Want to hear a neat trick?"

"Blue hedgehog, you're really trying me today."

"Well feast your ears on this!"

"What're you tal-"

-Click-

Shadow's mouth was left partially opened in astonishment as Sonic literally hung up on him. All he heard now was a disconnected tone. The ebony then hardened his expression.

A joker to the end.

And it was enough to have the Shadow squeeze his IPhone 4 to the point that it left a crack on his screen.

"Sonic...you just dug your own grave." Shadow made note of that as he glanced at his cracked screen phone. Wasted more than enough time than he already has, the dark hedgehog decided to just let go of his irritation for now. He super-speed back to his house to get out of the insanely cold, leaving a glowing trail behind.

Morning soon turned to noon, it was now 2:30 p.m. Couple of miles short distance from Shadow's home, lies a few outlet stores and one specific diner.

The bone-chilling odorless fog has yet cleared up, making it harder for shoppers or busybodies; to walk, see where they're going and, go about their business within a small local shopping area. But in-between those buildings and other department stores, one particular restaurant called "Down Yonder" is where the hardworking pink flower is currently employed herself.

Inside the 'Down Yonder' restaurant, was bustling moderate noise of men, women, children, friends, and other associates. Parent's trying to discipline children in their seats and shushing them for making too much noise. Friends were getting together for the first time in years or, just deciding what else to do after lunch despite how foggy and excruciating cold it is. Even some business associates took the time to meet up with their clients, having lunch on them for their time. Especially the diner's color scheme of yellow and bright lights, it really gave off its friendly environment to the people.

Though with the entire ruckus of fun going on, it wasn't enough to get the beautiful pink flower out of her daydream as she stand in front of her podium like the hostess she is. No customers to be seated at the moment, Amy took the time to recap what Shadow was talking about last night. Elbows on the podium, using her hands to hold her face up, and the pink flower hint's off a bashful laugh moments before her close friend on the job comes.

"Oh…so that's what Shadow meant last night." Verde eyes hazed, in imagination.

"..Amy...?" A gentle voice echoed, curiously.

"Blue is better than white...how can I be so clueless?" She smiled, ever so cutely.

"Hello..., Amy?" The feminine tone tilts her head at Amy's sudden smile.

"Shadow liked the new gown I was wearing. That was so thoughtful of him." The pink flower flushed, giggling to herself.

"What's so funn…are you blushing?" The soft voice said, now sounding puzzled.

"Wish he came up with a better way of saying it." Amy thought, in wishful thinking.

"Mobius to Amy, are you there?" Tikal lowly raised her voice a bit, not wanting to draw attention.

Amy was startled out of her daydream with a small yelp, causing some onlookers to look her way. Folding her ears in embarrassment, she lowly gestured her arms as an apology for disturbing her customers. Amy sighed as everyone resume whatever they were doing and the pink flower drew her attention back to Tikal who couldn't help but beam at the fumbled pink flower.

Tikal shook her head in humor. "Thought I lost you back there, Amy." The lighthearted echidna pointed.

The pink flower straightened herself in front of her podium after her embarrassing situation. "Sorry Tikal, I was..." Amy stopped herself when she noticed her friend on the job rolled her eyes. The sweet echidna had to place her hands behind on hips on this one.

"Daydreaming, again?" Tikal grinned her lips to the corner left of her muzzle. "I'm starting to feel a little envious of your cloud 9 trips, Amy. I feel left out now." The attractive caramel/orange echidna quipped.

The pink flower rubbed her quills shyly. "You have your way with jokes, Tikal." She folded her arms, leaning forward.

Sapphire spheres loosely dropped her arms and hopped behind Amy placing her both hands on shoulders, causing the pink flower to jerk her head around. "Say what was going on with you this morning?" Tikal asked, in concern of her friend. "You came to work looking all sad and you barely said hello to anyone. Thus, you hardly gave your customers any eye-contact. Everything okay, dear?" Her voice vibrated, lovingly.

"Oh that..." Amy thought of a way out of this. "Well I'm sort of over that Tikal but, thanks for your concern." She failed, miserably.

"Amy..." Tikal sighed sadly, seeing that her help for Amy was rejected.

"Oh crap, fine." Verde eyes softened at her co-worker's plea. "Okay...it's about my roommate." The pink flower confessed, reluctantly.

"Shadow?" Tikal recalled, remembering the ebony's name. "He's not giving you a hard time, is he?" Her pretty eyes blinked, fluttering in question.

"Actually no, things have gotten fairly okay." Amy smiled, nervously. "Just last night I felt like a total idiot." She finished.

Tikal released her grip from Amy's shoulder's, tilting her head at the pink flower with a smile. "About...?" Tikal questioned, looking interested.

"I tried to have a decent conversation with him, you know...about anything. Hobbies, activities, what he do, and stuff like that." Amy tapped her fingers on the podium, feeling silly already and continued. "But because of Shadow's solemn nature and lack of social skills, he barely gave me a sentence. I know I shouldn't dwell on this but it just feels weird sharing the same roof with someone and the house is always strangely quiet. It drives me nuts!" She fumed, lowly.

The caramel/orange echidna had to laugh at that.

"That's what made you depressed?" Tikal face-palmed, still giggling. "You couldn't hold a good conversation with one guy and now your world is crashing?" She continued to laugh, hurting her stomach in the process.

"Tikal, not funny!" Amy cried, sinking her head between her shoulders.

The dying from laughter echidna ceased her fun. "I'm sorry dear but this was expected from you." She coughed up one more laugh.

The pink flower snapped her head and turned her head the other direction away from Tikal, brooding. Tikal gently grabbed Amy's chin, making her directly look in her sapphire eyes, giving off a soothing smile. "Amy, don't let something so small get to you. Just because you didn't achieve what you want last night, doesn't mean the world will end. Maybe this Shadow person isn't used to people coming to his life the way you did." She released her hold from Amy's chin.

Amy only looked down after her minor realization. "Yeah, I guess it was kind of silly being all sad for nothing." She admitted, smiling with a pinch of a frown.

"Just keep talking to him, that's all I have to say. Who knows what might happen?" The caramel/orange echidna winked, in encouragement.

"Thanks Ti." Amy playfully understood, using Tikal's nickname.

Feeling good after doing her deed for today, Tikal shoos Amy off her podium now standing up straight. "You're welcome; now take your lunch break already." The sweet echidna pointed at her wrist-watch, giving Amy a cheeky scowling expression. "I may be the server but I do have permission to cover your breaks until you come back to cover mines." Her voice gave off some authority.

"I'm going, I'm going." The pink flower said, getting ready to dash off.

"And tie up you quills into a ponytail before you come back, Amy." Tikal reminded the pink flower, as she hurried off to the back of the restaurant to punch out. "You got a verbal warning for that last time." She said, not realizing what she just blurted out.

Tikal could've sworn she heard a groan coming from Amy and some laughter's from the customer's that overheard the echidna. Oops, didn't mean to bring that up as well as embarrass Amy.
