Chapter 9: From talk till dawn.

It was now past dead time...going on 4:50 a.m. on an early Friday morning. The only acceptable time for this night turning day to be so appallingly inaudible to its core.

Way up high from the surface of the frosty community that's still in slumber is the beautiful veil of obscurity. That was lit up by billions of glimmering celestial orbs that swept across the galactic sky. Even though one side of the planet was overshadowed by its darkness, nothing beats being under the dazzling stars that served as one whole chandelier every night. Such glamour.

On the good note the blistering icy mist was slowly clearing up now, just a couple of hours before sunset. Seconds turning to minutes, the horrid smog of ice dissipated completely in thin air. This will allow all sleeping individual's the time of day to see the visible frosty landscape once everyone awakens.

Except for one solemn hedgehog that refuses to sleep through the night.

The soundless beige house front door opened softly as the ebony himself carefully slide his way through the small crack. With a dismissal look on his face, Shadow held the door as quietly as possible, closing it behind him with a soft 'click'. He was definitely making sure he didn't wake up his sleeping roommate, Amy.

"Hopefully that didn't wake Rose up." He hoped, releasing his hold on the doorknob.

Shadow grits his teeth in discomfort as he stood still for a moment. He was allowing himself to get used to the sudden rush of cold, embracing him. Checking his surroundings, he sees that the fog has finally cleared up just before sunrise.

"Annoying fog. Thought it'd never clear up." The ebony gloomily thought, taking his first step.

Already in his hover shoes and gloves for today; Shadow began walking only a few feet away from his home, leaving a trail of footprints leading back to his front steps. Even if the cold was never to his entire liking, the ebony couldn't help but come outside this time of night/morning just to be completely alone for a while.

Looking around himself, the snow still covered the entire area. Houses, leafless trees that was lacking leaves, weighted down snow bushes, and his "neighbor's" house lights were still off. The sleepless black hedgehog figured he is the only one awake out of the entire Mystic Ruin's region. But Shadow didn't mind at all. Smirking, he silently enjoyed this; the loneliness and silence all around. He lowered his head in gratitude while ghosting his fingers from the top of his quills to the tip...well, least he tried to if his quills weren't so long.

Finally he made his stop, implanting his feet onto the snow beneath him.

Closing both his scarlet sphere, Shadow deeply inhaled the chilly air and exhaled clearing out his lungs. He slowly opened his eyes just to place both his hands behind his quills, leaning his head back a bit, just to stare into deep space above him.

"This is my kind of noise." He thought, impassively.

And by doing so, the unmoved black hedgehog took a moment to appreciate the muteness surrounding him.

No one to bother him right now.

That is until his ears perked up to a "so-called" tippy toe in the snow coming from behind him. He sighed, heavily.

Shadow loosely dropped his arms back to his sides as he vaguely narrowed his eyes, centering his neck straight. "So much for that." He mentally face-palmed, as he stared off the distantly ahead.

He couldn't even go outside to get some fresh air.

Really...

"Rose..." Shadow depressingly called out the sneaky hedgehog while his back still turned to her. "I know it's you. You're making too much noise walking in the snow like that." He stated.

Shadow heard an exhausting but embarrassing giggle followed by hurried footsteps getting closer and closer to him. He was almost POSITIVE that he heard a slid and an 'oh damn' coming from the pink flower behind him. Shadow just shook his head at Amy's recent blunder, thinking about how her face must've look before she almost fell.

"That girl..." He thought, bending one of his arms a bit to tap his right hip.

Amy half-jogged to the disturbed black hedgehog and stopped, standing left of Shadow now. By the time Amy stood next to Shadow, he turned to give her a morbid expression, only to receive a bashful look from the pink lady in return. Amy let out a faint giggle due to his look.

Oh boy.

"Guess it's hard to walk up on anyone in this snow compared to the rough ground, huh?" The pink flower half-smiled at Shadow, trying to keep her eyes open. Shadow fixed his gaze as he wondered why Amy decided to follow him outside in this harsh cold.

Not coming up with anything else to say, Amy softly turned her neck from Shadow, only to stare off the distance ahead of her the same way Shadow did before she came outside. Amy blinked and rubbed her jade eyes a few times just to stay awake.

The pink flower took a glimpse at Shadow after rubbing her eyes. "Okay he's still looking at me. Was I interrupting him or something?" She imagined, feeling a bit edgy now.

The half-awake pink flower was still in her long white gown from last night however; she had on her same brown snow boots since day one, thick purple jacket of course to keep herself partially warm from the cold. The only thing she was missing was her brown scarf. That was it. Amy wasn't planning on staying longer than she should, anyway.

Shadow then gave Amy a disapproval look as if he was the owner getting ready to discipline his animal. This time, he broke the silence. "What are you doing outside?" He asked, flatly.

The tiresome Amy looked back up at Shadow who stare boldly at her verde eyes, waiting for a response. She shyly rubbed her arms together. "I should be asking you that, Shadow." Amy replied, wearily.

Shadow mouthed his lips in dismay along, partially narrowing his eyelids. "Answer mines first. What are you doing outside?" He asked one more time.

The pink flower hummed, all prepared to give Shadow her reasons. She rubbed her arms tighter already feeling the cold get to her. She finally spoke. "Okay, so I did hear the door creakily opened and closed." Amy started. "And I probably would've ignored it if I hadn't felt that cold air crept inside the house." She shivered. Remembering how much the cold bristled her face and body despite having a blanket wrapped around herself.

Shadow oddly fixed his stare at Amy. "I can't believe a breeze like that woke her." His mind wondered off.

"So yeah, I looked..." The pink flowered suppressed a yawn by covering her mouth. "Out the window and saw you walking in the cold with no clothes on." She finished.

After the last part of her sentence, Shadow lit up his scarlet spheres in awkwardness, looking at her strangely. "She's still asleep. Otherwise, she would already know that I rarely wear any clothing attire." He thought to himself. "That better be your sleep talking when you mentioned the "no clothes" part, Rose" Shadow grimaced, softly.

Afterwards, both hedgehogs took their attention away from one another. Just looking straight ahead at other houses, trees, the deep woods much further in. Amy sighed, still feeling silly from what Shadow brought up in their last conversation as far as him coming outside with no clothes on.

"But you got to admit Shadow, maybe it did sounded a little funny." She tried to laugh only give out a big yawn at the end, barely missing her mouth to cover it.

Just hearing how Amy is STILL tired, caused the ebony to physically face-palm that time.

My Chaos...

Shadow jerked his head back at the stubborn flower who looked like she was going to fall asleep standing up.

"Rose, if you're this sleepy go back to bed." He said, without aggression.

Amy shook her head calmly at the ebony. "No, Shadow." She stood her ground without sounding threateningly. "Besides I already told you what I came out here for so, now it's your turn to tell me what you're doing out here too."

Shadow just took a deep breath. Filling his lung's up from the crisp night air just to exhale, he turned his face away from Amy.

"Amy needs to start interacting with other's she's not used to being around with. Even if it has to be you." The ebony hears his G.U.N. partner's voice in his ear.

Shadow sunk his shoulders as he made a plain face.

He sees where this was going now. It's only him and Amy outside by themselves. Yeah, he figured.

Shadow closed his eyes, shaking his head nonchalantly. The tired pink flower patiently blinked at his quiet behavior, waiting for him to speak up.

"I wanted my privacy, Rose. That's my answer to you." He gave off no emotion at his tone.

Both of Amy's ears folded back in shame a little as she loosely dropped her arms back to her sides. "I'm sorry for invading your space, then." Amy apologized.

Shadow caught a glimpse of the pink flower lowering her head a little as she felt bad for intruding him. "She's...remorseful?" Thought gruffly the ebony.

Verde spheres looked at the dark hedgehog, eying him casually. "I'll head back in the house to catch up on my sleep." She said, kind of sadly.

However, Amy didn't make a full turn to head back to the house until Shadow's voice stopped her.

"Rose?" Shadow said, looking over his shoulder.

The pink flower halted her movement just to to circle her body back around at the ebony, she blinked.

Why did he stop her?

Shadow unintentionally heaved a puff. "You already went through enough trouble coming out here." The black hedgehog said, smoothly.

Amy almost gaped. "Is he asking me to stay?" She blindly closed her mouth.

As Shadow eyed Amy, he caught on to her minor surprised as he could tell that the pink flower was somewhat shocked that he stopped her the way he did. He turned his attention away from her, arms crossed.

"That is if you want to risk catching a cold then I don't care." Shadow finished, dryly.

That comment made Amy wide awake now after hearing Shadow's sharp tongue. She placed her hands on her hips. "Of course he'd say that." The pink flower rolled her eyes. "Oh well, may as well take advantage of this." The pink flower shrugged. She walked up next to Shadow again hiding a smile just before she stopped. "Given the option Shadow, I think I'll stay." Amy pointed out, calmly.

"Fine." Shadow understood, knowing Amy's going to be hanging around longer.

Feeling somewhat welcomed by Shadow's presence Amy guessed, she took a moment to look up at the starry night. Jade eyes slowly beamed with excitement as Amy was impressed on how beautiful the celestial bodies scattered throughout the sky. Letting out a precious smile, Amy's eye's glimmered so brightly that its own shine could've rivaled the sparkle coming from the stars itself.

Being awfully quiet for some minutes, Shadow took a glimpse of the pink flower and almost gaped when he saw her expression? The hell was with that look? He then took noticed that she was looking up at the sky as if she was watching something that marveled her.

He cocked an eye-brow. "What're you looking at?" He disruptively asked, still having his arms crossed.

Amy's look was still fixed up alluring darkness though she heard the ebony's voice called to her. "The heavenly bodies above the dark sky, Shadow." She replied, sweetly. Shadow then looked up in the night along with her, staring at the stars.

Shadow looked almost bored just staring. "What's so special about them? They all look the same." He thought, inwardly. "What about them?" The not-so-awed black hedgehog said, moodily.

Amy stopped looking up the obscurity only to fix her attention to the Shadow's calling. "It's just very beautiful, that's all." She rubbed her arms together, remembering how freezing it was outside.

"Teh" The black hedgehog brushed off her fascination as he stared off the distance again after watching the night sky.

The pretty pink flower huffed in bothersome. Of course Shadow's not one for these things. Amy thinks of another subject to talk about, hopefully nothing too 'cute' to bore Shadow.

Amy unwrapped herself, trying to forget about the cold. "You know, I can also see why else you came out here." She let out a soft voice.

His left ear twitched. "Which is?" Shadow wondered, still staring absently.

Verde eyes beamed at Shadow. "Probably want to connect to your inner peace." She finished.

"Inner peace?" His ears perked up just after he partially turned his neck to her

Amy nodded at the Shadow.

"I'm not very familiar with it but when you deal with enough or too much stress in your life and you just want to get rid of any negative thoughts, people often find their center through meditation." Amy said passively. "Freeing their minds of such bad things, it helps them feel more positive about themselves or just give them a sense of calmness and peace." Amy breathlessly explained, at the end.

Shadow never took his gaze off of Amy. "No such thing ever crossed my mind." He 'hmph', off-handedly.

Blasted hedgehog!

Amy had to turn her neck away from Shadow as she crinkled her face in annoyance, barely holding a smile.

"Mr. Melancholy!" She gritted her teeth.

The seemingly annoyed pink flower turned her neck back around at Shadow, relaxing her irritation. Shadow half-lidded his crimson orb's, he saw how ticked Amy were.

The pink flower continues to speak, looking deep into those ruby eyes.

"Maybe that's why you were out here, Shadow." Amy began. "You probably wanted a little peace of mind yourself because when I saw you out here, you were perfectly still." She teased. "As if you were meditating standing up." Amy laughed, lightly.

The speechless black hedgehog had no say in that. Shadow silently admitted that he did felt at ease when he was outside this time of night just before Amy woke and met him out here in this frosty winter air.

Amy hid a blush as she places her hand over her cheek. "You know, I sort of have my own inner peace." She drops her hand back down. "Completely different from what I mentioned throughout the conversation." The pink flower finished.

Shadow rolled his eyes nonchalantly at Amy. "I knew she was going to bring this to my attention, she's obvious!" He thought darkly, uncrossing his arms now. "You mean that nonsense dance you performed a couple night's ago before dark?" He sneered.

The pink flower did a double-take just after she scratched her quills. "Huh?" Amy looked at him wide-eyed. "How did you know?" She asked.

Shadow gave a cunning smirk. "I saw you outside a twirling in the snow, making sharp moves and, spreading your arms out like you were trying to fly." He recalled.

"Aw crud..." Amy looked down fumbling her finger's, feeling slightly embarrassed. "But I was totally by myself and..." She trailed off.

"Rose, you were RIGHT front of the window doing all that no matter how many feet away you were from the house." Shadow mocked, darkly. "Why else I would immediately open the door just before you got a chance to knock?" He continued. "I was on my way to the kitchen till I saw you doing all that." The dark hedgehog finished.

Amy stopped fumbling her fingers and gave Shadow a gracious look, feeling someone hopeful for what she's about to ask him. Shadow quirked a bored eye-brow. "Why all of a sudden she made that face?" He asked himself.

"Did you like it?" Amy beamed, totally forgetting about how embarrassed she was.

"Excuse me?" Shadow responds, flatly.

"My dance." Amy clarified. "Did you like my dance?" She asked, bouncing a bit in front of Shadow.

"..."

Scarlet spheres gave Verde eyes a plain look.

"Shadow come on, you can tell me." Amy pressed on, fainting her smile.

"Rose, are you seriously asking me this?" Shadow said, watching the pink flower bounce up and down in front of him.

Amy put her hands behind her back, flushing after she stopped bouncing. "Shadow, did you really like my dance?" She almost pleaded for his answer.

Shadow sighed, distantly. "Rose, I'm only going to say this once...I was really disappointed when you stopped dancing." He started.

Amy's eyes began to glitter as her heart was being filled with joy. Her hands behind her back was edgily clenching for his next sentence. "Really? You liked it?" She partially gaped.

The black hedgehog gave the pink flower the most serious look he could possibly gave her. It was getting too suspenseful for Amy.

Shadow hesitated for another moment, not wanting to give her the time of day just so Amy could bring it up later on. He is not the best hedgehog to be asked about these thing's. He leaned his head back arrogantly, after he placed his hands behind it to keep its hold. He gave Amy the answer she was waiting for.

"I was disappointed because not one time you slipped up and fell face flat on the snow." He finished, gloomily.

The excited for nothing verde eyes burned with anger as her heart was filled with rage. "That pig!" Her fist clenched, tightly. "SHADOW!" She screamed bloody murder.

Shadow grimly smirked as he center his head back at the screaming rose, not being threatened by her hatred for him at all. "You did it almost all too perfect, Rose." The ebony said, dismissing her anger.

"You cree- Wait? You think I did most of it perfectly?" Amy caught on to what Shadow was saying, ceasing her anger.

"Yes." Shadow said lowly. "There, I told her in her face!" He rolled his eyes.

"So...you did like it?" Amy asked one final time.

Shadow gave a blank stare at the hopeful pink flower. "I just told you my answer, Rose." His tone warned Amy to never ask him again.

Verde stars looked intensely at Scarlet's eyes as Amy broke an earnest smile. Amy placed both her hands on her cheeks, blushing terribly. "Thank you, Shadow." The rose thanked, graciously.

Shadow grimaced but nonetheless, gave her his regards. "Not at all, I suppose." He said smoothly, wishing she stop flushing already.

Soon a hue of orange and yellow warm colors slowly spread across the sky above the two hedgehogs. Its beam of light coming from the East temporary blinded both Amy and Shadow, forcing them to cover their eyes a bit for being in the dark far too long. Its gracious shaded colors of sun rays, mixed with still some shade of darkness was slowly turning to day, bringing back the blue atmosphere that everyone loved to be underneath. And the brighter and bluer the sky was turning, the more faded the stars became.

It was now dawn.

Being the first one to recover from her blindness, Amy looked over East a bit but still shielded her arms underneath her arm to keep the burning light from piercing her eyes again. "Guess we stood out much later than we expected." Amy said, turning her back at the sunrise now.

"We did..." Shadow spoke lowly.

The black hedgehog began to circle his first step around after standing in the same position for so long and started heading back to the house, following his trail of footsteps he planted couple hours ago. Seeing as Shadow walked ahead of Amy first, the pink flower soon followed right behind him, shortly.

Amy caught up to Shadow, walking right next to him. "And we talked longer than usual." She happily pointed out, looking at him.

He eyeballed the pink flower, brooding. "I know." Shadow said, distantly.

"Let's talk more over breakfast." She said, exhilarating.

Shadow snapped his head away from the pink flower. "No." He made himself cleared.

Amy displayed a pouting look while maintaining a cute smug. "Killjoy, I'm going to do it anyway." She said, running ahead of Shadow now.

"Again, no." Shadow's serious tone echoed, hoping it reached Amy few inches ahead of him.

Amy only giggled as she finally made it to the front steps of their home. Placing her hand on the doorknob, Amy twist and opened the door only to quickly run into the bathroom before Shadow said anything. Leaving the front door open for the ebony, Shadow only shook his head in disbelief as he heard the bathroom door "shut" coming from inside the house as soon as he made it to the front steps.

If Amy hadn't ran so far ahead of him, Shadow MAYBE would've told her that he already took his shower early this morning before the pink flower met him outside. But forget it, this works.

The jokes on Amy this time. She ran in the bathroom for nothing.

Shadow just smirk darkly as he grabbed hold of the doorknob, closing the door shut behind him.
