Chapter 8: The Magic 8-Ball.

The fog hasn't cleared up all day on that same Thursday and already it was after 7:57 p.m. This grave weather didn't make any sense.

It's bad enough as it is with this harsh forecast being awfully cold all season long, especially having some snow days here or there. But the last thing anyone needed was a stubborn fog that just wouldn't go away. Too much effort to walk, play, drive, run, you name it! The word "ridiculous" was clouded above the head's and thoughts of all the irate minds from the resident's within the deep woods, outskirts of the Mystic Ruin's. Especially how sickening upset Amy was a few hours ago just before she came home. Not only it was difficult for her to walk in the dark in that blasted smog of ice but, she had to dismiss the thought of apartment hunting right after work. How disappointing for the pink flower.

Still, all the frozen community could only do now is pray to Chaos that tomorrow would be clear and convenient.

Other than that.

Inside the warm comforting shelter that housed two hedgehogs, lies the bouncing pink flower herself preparing dinner in the kitchen.

All lights were on throughout the house preventing any shed of darkness to appear on any side of wall or corner. It also provided some sort spotlight for the fun-loving rose, already in her long white gown for tonight after beating Shadow to the shower first. Across from the kitchen, passing the living room, spot's the fireplace that was bursting its flames of glory as the warmth gave off its magnificence and adding some life in the homely atmosphere.

Amy practically danced in front of the stove as she was wrapping up a spectacular meal for both her and her ebony roommate, who seemed to not gotten out the shower yet. Humming in victory, Amy couldn't help but pat herself on the back for making such a wonderful dish. Verde spheres sparkled in delight as she was finished putting together tonight's meal, chicken casserole.

"I'm so proud of myself." Amy cheered, looking down at the casserole just before picking it up. "This has to be my best yet." The pink flower's heart skipped, eying the casserole. She took a step back to open the oven door, bending over a bit just to place the uncooked dish inside, then closed it. Amy set the timer after the oven was preheated not too long ago.

Suddenly pink flower's left ear twitched as she heard the bathroom door open and closed. Soon sounds of soft footsteps were heading to where she is in the kitchen, coming closer from the hallway.

That is until they stopped.

Next thing Amy heard was some light's being turned off, creating a dimmed environment in the living room and leaving the kitchen light still lit up. The only thing that's keeping the living from being too dark was the fire place.

This only made the attractive flower frown causing her to crossed her arms.

"Really, Shadow?" Amy rolled her eyes. Sure a little dimness set the mood but, did it had to be every night? Even though her stay wasn't permanent, Amy did prefer some light over dark.

Relaxing her arms from its crossed position, the pink flower decided to playfully call out the ebony that still hasn't made it to the kitchen yet.

"Hey Shadow, some of us prefer some light around here." Amy's voice echoed throughout the house, as she aimlessly twirled a stray quill from the tip.

A 'hmph' was the only response the pink flower got until she's gotten a full sentence from Shadow.

"Need I go over whose house this is again, Rose?" Shadow echoed back, confidently. Knowing this method only works when Amy fusses over things such as this.

"..."

She released the tip of her stray quill, letting it naturally hang in its position.

Amy just gave a sly grin though still managing to pull an un-amused look. Finally getting out of her trance, she flipped her arms out in a girly frustration. "Cheap shot!" She huffed.

Footsteps resumed walking now making its way to the kitchen. Once its bare-feet touched the cooled surface of the kitchen floor it stopped. Standing a couple of inches across from Amy was the black hedgehog himself now gloveless and shoeless but still retained its inhibitors. Shadow had just finished taking his shower right after Amy even though he wished he used it first. He literally had a white towel wrapped around his head as he struggled to dry off his quills, seeing it was taking much longer to get every drop of water.

The pink flower had to smile watching the way how Shadow was trying to get every strand of his quills dry. "How was your shower?" Amy sneered, putting her hand on her mouth hiding a chuckle. "You took just as long as me." She teased.

Crimson eyes peeked underneath the white towel only to snort in "whatever "after hearing that comment. Shadow removed the towel off his head, letting it hang on one-side of his shoulder while giving Amy an inwardly expression

"Stop exaggerating. I only took 20 minutes." Shadow clarified, somewhat scolding Amy's boasting behavior.

The pink flower casually placed a hand on the stove, leaning sideways. "So, you're saying I take a long time?" Amy said, mouthing a cheesy grin.

That last comment from Amy cause the ebony to just mouth a sly smirk. "Taking a shower up to 45 minutes compared to me who usually takes 20?" Shadow said, dropping his smirk. "Yes, that's a long time." He finished, spewing his sarcasm at the end"

The pink flower lips puckered all while giving the Shadow an un-amused look. "Know-it-all." Amy thought as she turned her face away from the ebony, still leaning sideways.

Having enough games for one moment, Shadow decided to ask Amy his question which was the purpose of coming to the kitchen in the first place.

"How long, Rose?" Shadow asked, smoothly. Amy turned her attention back to the ebony.

"For..." Amy trailed off. "Oh dinner, you mean?" She said, understanding his question now.

"Yes." Shadow said lowly.

"Oh, I just placed it in the oven so it'll take some time." The pink flower replied, gleefully. "Set the timer and all." She said, almost sounding like she couldn't wait to tryout her masterpiece.

"Very well, then." Shadow acknowledged, and examined his damp quills. "I'll be by the fireplace since my quills are taking longer to dry." He turned his back on Amy and headed out from the kitchen.

Amy raised both of her brows as she caught on to Shadow's plan, pushing herself from off her leaning position from the stove just to follow the black hedgehog out the kitchen too."Bet you're trying to get out of a conversation. Fail!" The pink flower joked, still following him.

Shadow sense Amy's presence behind him as he walked towards the glorified heat ahead of him. "She's gotten smart." He sighed, eying back at the lively flower behind him. "No way out of this, I suppose. Still, I think it's better than to witness her having another episode of her depression the next day." The black hedgehog anticipated.

Making a halt in front of the fireplace, Shadow is the first to take a seat on the plush carpet sitting indian style with his hands clamped together in the middle of his legs. Whereas Amy sat flat on her bottom with her knees up against her chest, hugging her knees together up close to her bosom.

Although there is a little silence between Amy and Shadow but, it was pleasing. Due to the crackling noise and popping spark's coming from the fireplace, it relaxed the two hedgehogs. Both hedgehogs gazed hard at the beautiful flames that were providing them natural warmth.

For once instead of feeling weird, Amy did find comfort from all of this. Her verde eyes took a glance at her dark hedgehog roommate as he removed the towel from off his shoulders, tossing it on the sofa where Amy usually sleep's at night. The pick flower caught that and started frowning at him.

"I sleep on that couch, Shadow." Amy berated the ebony.

Shadow jerked his head to face her, giving her an odd look. "Are you going to bed now?" He questioned.

Amy dropped her frown as she was at a loss for words for this one. "Well...um...not right now." She fumbled her sentence.

"Okay then, the towel stays there until you're ready to go to sleep." Shadow finished, turning his attention back to the flames.

Amy mumbled something very nasty about Shadow, making him fold his ears back in annoyance and stupidity.

"I seem to be having some trouble with my hearing tonight, Rose." Shadow "complained", hinting a tone of darkness.

Amy pulled a pathetic smile at the ebony, who still stared emotionless at the flames. Not turning to face her. "Damn. He can kill anyone on sight by just using that tone of voice." Amy gulped, nervously.

"Would you mind repeating every word you just said?" He challenged, eying Amy a deathly glare.

The pink flower came up with a silly excuse as an idea formed in her head. Of course she's not going to repeat whatever she just said about Shadow, that's suicide! "I said...how was your day and stuff like that?" Amy asked, displaying sheepish grin.

Amy flower fiddled her fingers in hopes of not getting killed by the Shadow now.

Shadow tapped his fingers on his left thigh while still eying Amy displaying that funny smile on her face. "Some scapegoat, Rose." He said, flatly. Even though he really wasn't going to do anything to the pink flower. Shadow was only daring her to try something else on him.

"I'll just tell her anything...All she wants to do is talk. Better that than to watch her get all sad in the morning like she did today, not that I care that much." He masked his sulking attitude. "I had a prank caller today." Shadow answered, refusing to tell Amy that it was Sonic who called for her.

The pink flower blinked at him and displayed a calm facial expression at solemn black hedgehog. "Hehe, really? How did that go?" Amy said, sounding interested.

"Not much happened except when this 'idiot' was giving me enough crap the first time, I had to hang up on him." He started. "Then he had the nerve to call back only to be more impulsive with his jokes, and he hangs up on me that time." Shadow glared at the flames, as it was enough to pierced through it.

"Why would you answer the phone again?" Amy said, dumbfounded. Isn't Shadow more clever than that?

Scarlet spheres closed, all while giving off a cunning smug. "Saw that coming." He thought, thinking fast. "That 'idiot' decided to use a second number different from the first and called back 10 minutes later. That's how he got me the second time." Shadow said, in a straight tone of voice.

The curious pink lady believed Shadow and goes back to staring at the intense flames, humming faintly from her throat. "Oh, I see." Amy said, feeling convinced a bit.

"Easy." Shadow 'hmph', in victory.

Amy soon starts to laugh just thinking about how mad Shadow must've been just dealing with one guy over the phone. "He must've really wanted another shot to push your buttons." She said, Shadow didn't bother to reply that time.

Once Amy stopped laughing, not much was said between the two hedgehogs afterwards. Amy loosely relaxed her arms just to play at the tip of her gown, thinking to herself.

"I guess that's all I'm going to get out of this conversation for tonight. Sorry Tikal, I'll try again next time." The pink flower vowed silently, fiddling the hem of her white night-gown still.

Suddenly Amy just remembers something that caused her face to shot up.

"Wait, not all hope is lost!" The excited pink flower jumped out of her seat which actually made Shadow eyeball her. Amy crawled her way towards the side of the sofa, grabbing hold a brown bag sitting next to her suitcase.

While the pink lady's back was turned to Shadow, the dark hedgehog gave her an awkward stare as soon as Amy circled back with the brown bag in her hand. "What is she up to?"Shadow thought.

Crawling to where her previous spot was next to Shadow, Amy now sat on her knees making a cheesy grin. She rummaged through the brown bag and...Viola! She pulled out a box containing some black ball in it.

Shadow wrinkled his face in curiosity, is that a...

Still on her knees, Amy shift's herself to turn to the ebony. Even though Shadow didn't really care what Amy does, he too shifted his body around to face the pink flower, still seated indian style. Just wanting to feed his curiosity.

Verde eyes shone with excitement. "Shadow...I got us a little something to do while dinner is getting ready." Amy said, as she ripped the box open.

Tossing the torn box across the living room, Amy glance happily at the magic 8-ball in her hands. She pointed the ball towards the ebony who just gave her a uninterested look.

"This," Amy started, bouncing the black ball in both of her palms. "Is what we call a magic 8-ball." She finished, after bouncing it.

The ebony just kept his mouth shut, not understanding her.

Amy just groaned. May as well tell him what it is. "It's a toy." She said, with no effort in her voice.

That's all Shadow needed to hear as he made a grunt. "I don't play with toys, Rose." He huffed, lightly.

"Oh, you don't have to do much." The pink flower countered.

"And?" He said, sounding bored.

Amy half lidded her eye's after hearing Shadow's tone of voice.

Oh, brother.

"Look it's easy, Shadow. All you have to do is shake it up while asking it a yes or no question at the same time. See this small visible glass right here?" Amy's fingertip touched the glass. "Will show you the answer to your question once the dice floats up." She explained.

"..."

Shadow still isn't interested.

"Sounds pretty random and almost inaccurate, Rose." He mocked, looking at the ball in Amy's hand and at Amy herself.

Amy ignored Shadow's comment by shrugging and began shaking the ball "Fine, I'll just play by myself." Amy 'hmph', getting ready to ask her first question.

Shadow didn't say anything but just witness the pink flower play with her little toy.

"Is Shadow a grouch?" Amy asked.

The pink flower stopped shaking the ball and the dice comes floating up towards the see through glass with the answer.

-Answer: It's a certain.-

Amy started to laugh while Shadow just shook his head at her funny demeanor.

"So true! Amy said, still laughing.

"That could've been any answer, Rose." Shadow said, frowning.

Amy shook the ball again ignoring Shadow.

"Am I pretty?" The pink lady asked, enjoying herself.

She stopped shaking the ball and the dice comes floating up towards the see through glass with the answer.

-Answer: Signs point to yes.-

It was now Shadow's turn to half-lid his eye's in annoyance after witnessing Amy blushing like this. Is she serious?

"It said, yes!" Amy cheered.

"Would've been funny if that toy said, no." Shadow sneered, attempting to push Amy's buttons on purpose.

Next expression Amy made was a dark smirk that rivaled Shadow's.

Time to play a little dirty.

"Is Shadow really 'small' down there?" Amy said, pulling an evil smile. She shook the ball smiling while Shadow gave her a disgusted look.

"What the hell, Rose?" Shadow questioned.

Amy stopped shaking the ball and the dice comes floating up towards the see through glass with the answer.

-Answer: My reply is no.-

The pink flower shoulders sank, not happy with the answer she's received. She wanted it to say yes to retaliate against Shadow. "N-No...?" Amy said in surprised, slowing looking up from the ball to the dark hedgehog who almost looked...proud?

"You have no idea, Rose." Shadow complied, showing a vague smirk.

"SHADOW!" The pink flower blushed, almost dropping the ball. She then came up with another question hoping to get Shadow back this time. She shook the ball.

"Is Sonic faster than Shadow in super speed?" Amy blurted out loud, wanting to insult him..

Scarlet eyes ears fold back in displeasure after just hearing that from Amy. "She's really asking for it." A growl came from Shadow's throat.

Amy stopped shaking the ball and the dice comes floating up towards the see through glass with the answer.

-Answer: Reply hazy, try again.-

"HEY! It refused to answer, me." Amy yelled, not liking what she got.

Shadow smirked. "Seems like the ball is not on your side tonight, after all." He mocked, lazily.

"Don't start with me, Shadow." Amy threatened.

"Am I?" You're the one asking that toy silly questions and getting fussy because you're not getting the answers you want right now." He countered, slyly.

The pink flower only cocked an eye brow at him.

Whatever.

Amy shook the ball again. "Am I going to find a nice new apartment to move in soon?" She hoped, softly.

"Yeah, are you?" Shadow instigated, hinting some dry sarcasm.

"Prick." She stuck her tongue at the dark hedeghog and stopped shaking the ball.

The dice comes floating up towards the see through glass with the answer.

-Answer: Better not tell you now.-

Yes, even Shadow had to look at that without waiting for Amy to tell him what the magic 8-ball response was

Amy's face drooped. "So I'm stuck here?" She wondered.

"Ask it again, Rose." Shadow said, wanting to get a better answer.

The pink flower gave the black hedgehog a sour-face just before she shook the ball again.

"Am I going to move out from Shadow's home soon?" She asked.

The pink lady stopped shaking the ball and the dice comes floating up towards the see through glass with the answer.

-Answer: Cannot predict now.-

Amy blinked twice as she now got up on her two legs. How come it's not giving her a yes or no answer? "Is this a joke?" Amy questioned, now sounding serious. "It's a toy, not the real thing..." Her sentence fainted off.

"What did it say?" Shadow demanded, looking up at her.

"It said, it cannot predict now, Shadow." She said, returning a glance at the ebony.

"Give it here, then." Shadow ordered, now getting up on his two legs.

"But you don't play with toys, remember?" Amy recalled.

Shadow lend out his arm, gesturing Amy to give him the strange ball already. "I think we both know that thing is not a 'toy' right now." Scarlet eyes pointed directly at the magic 8-ball.

Without further hesitation, Amy slowly handed the magic 8-ball to Shadow.

The black hedgehog shook the ball rather roughly in his hands. "Is Rose going to move out from my house, tomorrow?" He questioned, arrogantly.

"You're not funny!" Amy almost shrieked at him.

"Wasn't trying to be." Shadow said, after he stopped shaking the ball.

The dice comes up floating towards the see through glass.

-Answer: My sources say no.-

Shadow's grip on the magic 8-ball tightened.

"The fu-"

"Don't say that word!" The pink flower cut's him off. "It's too indecent." She said, softly.

Shadow rolled his eyes at Amy then decided to give her the answer from what the ball just gave him.

"It said, no." The ebony exclaimed.

"Wouldn't be ready to leave tomorrow anyway, you creep." Amy scolded at him for being rude earlier.

Shadow just sighed.

"Ask it again, Shadow." The pink flower mimicked his gruffly tone.

Ignoring Amy's mimicking, Shadow shook the ball. "Is Rose going to move into a new apartment soon?" He emphasized the last word. He stopped shaking the ball and the dice come floating up towards the see through glass with the answer.

-Answer: Ask again later.-

This isn't a joke right now, Shadow looked at the toy rather strangely yet keeping his calm attitude. Three time's it gave Amy an undecided answer about her moving out soon, and only one "no" to him if she is going to leave by tomorrow.

"Well, what?" Amy asked, impatiently.

"Ask again later..." Shadow said, flatly.

"I'm getting a little freaked out now." The pink flower said, sounding a bit nervous.

"Let's try a different question then." An idea formed in Shadow's head. "Rose, think of a question we both already know the answer would be." He told her his plan. "Maybe it'll give us the opposite of what the answer supposed to be."

Amy lended out her hand, agreeing. "Okay, hand it to me." She said, softly.

Shadow placed the magic 8-ball in Amy's hand and immediately, the pink flower started to shake it. "Do I own a Piko Piko Hammer in my possession?." Amy asked.

The nervous pink flower stopped shaking the ball and the dice comes floating up towards the see through glass with the answer.

-Answer: Yes.-

"Shadow..." Amy choked, as if she's seen a ghost.

"What did it say?" He solemnly, asked.

"It said, yes." She barely let that out.

"..."

Shadow hid his dumbfounded expression by just staring at Amy and eye-balling the ball in her hands. "Try again, and then I'll go." He said to Amy and she nodded.

Amy shook the ball again. "I'm fat, huh?" She asked a much sillier question, hoping to get a 'yes'.

She stopped shaking the ball and the dice comes floating up towards the see through glass with the answer.

-Answer: My reply is no.-

Amy literally tossed the ball in Shadow's hand head hanging down.

She's not playing anymore.

"Said, no." Amy said, using no emotion.

Shadow narrowed his eyes preparing to ask a much serious question.

Here goes.

The black hedgehog shook the ball, fairly close to jerking it. "Did Professor Gerald Robotnik created me back in ARK more than 50 years ago and had major involvement with Black Doom with my creation?" The ebony questioned, almost with interrogation.

He impatiently stopped shaking the ball and the dice comes floating up towards the see through glass with the answer.

-Answer: Yes-definitely.-

"..."

Shadow just gave the magic 8-ball a dark look in both his hand as if it was cursed. He didn't speak, he didn't flinch, he wasn't even thinking right now.

He just stood frozen.

The pink flower saw this and decided to break the silence, hoping to get the ebony out of his trance.

"It said yes, huh?" Amy broke the silence, smiling weakly at Shadow's stoic behavior.

"Yes-definitely, it said". Shadow, clarified. He handed the ball back to Amy though; she was kind of reluctant to take it off his hands at first.

Next sound was made was a "ding" coming from the kitchen bringing both hedgehog's back to reality. They both had forgotten that they were waiting for dinner to be finished before...any of this happened.

After hearing the ding, the pink flower slowly place the magic 8-ball on the carpet near her feet on the floor. Shadow just watched her dropped the ball, he doesn't have much say in this right now. She then walked towards the kitchen with Shadow following right behind her.

Time to eat, anyway.

"Rose?" Shadow called to her, smoothly.

The psyched-out pink lady looks over her shoulder. "Yes?" Amy replied.

"Are you going to bring anymore toys like this here again?" He asked, not showing any facial expression at all.

Amy shook her head rather hastily. "No." She answered.

"Good." Shadow began. "After dinner, put away that cursed toy. If I see that out again, then I'll make sure it won't be visible to the naked eye anymore." He ordered the pink flower firmly, without using any tone of venom.

Amy only shrugged, turning her head back around. "Fine by me Shadow, I'm not complaining." She said, not planning to use the ball anytime soon anyway.

Both hedgehogs made it to the kitchen to enjoy Amy's chicken casserole masterpiece. Leaving behind the magic 8-ball sitting in the living room floor by itself near the fireplace.
