The DIFFERENT kind of girls (A SonAmy story)

Chapter 8: "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

Shadow's P.O.V

"Stay away from Crystal" Amy said, staring at me in the eyes, serious. 'What the? How did our topic of conversation turn to this?' I thought.

*Flashback. In the Morning...* (After Amy gave everyone a room to sleep in, they all slept for the rest of the night. So.. Yeah..)

I yawned as I made myself a cup of coffee at Amy's main kitchen (there's another one in their hideout {or whatever it's called}). 'Man, these past few days are catching up to me. Who would've known that all this would happen in the short time span of 24 hours?' I thought as I sipped my cup of joe. 'tch! Hot..' I blew the top of the coffee, trying to make it cooler. "So her full name is Crystal hmm?" I mumbled. (I overheard Amy yelling her name yesterday). I blushed just thinking about her. 'Damn it Shadow! What is wrong with you?' I thought, shaking my head.

"Hmm, so your an early riser too I presume?" Someone said from the doorway. My head shot up to see that the speaker was Amy.

"Yeah. I, don't really need sleep." I replied after a while. Being the ultimate life form an all, I wasn't really built for sleep.

"Aaah, I see. Okay. So.. I was wondering..." She started, but trailed off, looking at anywhere but me. I turned my head to face her, as if to tell her I'm listening.

"Yeah?"

"Well, I was wondering if you could tell me about the gang. You know, all those people that are staying at my house but know nothing about." I thought about 'Well, I guess..'

"Sure." I answered. "I'll tell you a little about them. But you have to tell all of us about you guys too."

"Fine." She replied, sitting down across from me with her own cup of coffee and a plate of pancakes. 'How did she make that so fast?'

"Okay. First, tell me their names, who is who, and their personalities please."

"Umm.. Okay. First, there's Tails, he's the two-tailed fox and I'd say he's the brightest out of all of them. He has even built a plane. Then there's Cream. She's the only rabbit and is the most polite." And this is how it continued for a while. Me, talking about the crew, and Amy, listening to what I was saying.

"And that's about everyone." I said with a sigh. That was the most I've probably ever talked in my life.

"What about you? How would you describe yourself?" She asked me, eating the last bite of her pancake. I looked at her, 'Is she seriously asking me that?'

"I mean, the whole school has you port-raid as their bad boy, so what do you think of yourself?" She questioned again, looking at me all innocently. 'I never thought about that before.' I voiced her my thoughts.

"I've actually never thought about it that way before." I admitted

"Well, I just think your misunderstood. In fact, I bet you don't even know who you is." I stared at her in disbelief. 'Just who is this girl?' She sighed and stood up.

"Anyways, do you know what time it is?" She looks at the Clock behind her. It read 8:20. I made my cup of coffee at 7:50.' We've been talking for 30 minutes already? I wonder if Crystal has woke up yet?' My face flushed at the thought. 'Ugh!! What is happening to me?' I thought as I shook my head. 'There's just..Something about her, that won't leave my mind.'

"Hey, you okay?" A hand is suddenly in front of my face, waving up and down. I grab the hand and glare at it's owner.

"What? You spaced out there for a sec." Amy protested. I let go of her wrist, feeling bad for grabbing it in the first place.

"So, what were you thinking about?" She asked. 'Ugh, such an innocent question, and yet.. Why does the answer embarrass me so much?'

"None of your business." I answered harshly. In that moment, Silver came in, yawning and rubbing his eyes. Amy and I looked at him as he opened the refrigerator door, as well as the cabinets and rummaged through them. After a while, he stopped, turned around and said, 'Hey, you're out of milk. And cereal." Then, he just walked away with a small container of cookies. 'Even though he's from the future, he really gets on my nerves a lot. More than most people would.' I glared at the spot where he was just standing.

"Hey Shadow?" Amy starts. 'Ugh, now what?' I turn to face her.

"What?" I asked, but tried not to make it sound like I was annoyed, even though I was.

"Want to go shopping with me?"

"What the-?" My eyes widened as I noticed that she had already changed from her p.j's to regular, casual clothes. 'When did she?..' And, for some reason, taking my silence as a yes, she started dragging me out the door, to the city. Where that thing attacked yesterday. But after we all transported back to that secret base or something, it disappeared.

'Don't worry. That monster won't back for another two weeks." I turned to look at her, wondering how she always seems to know what I'm thinking. "Besides, you got bigger things to worry about... Me." 'Oh no. Why does this feel like I'm not going to live to see tomorrow?'

Two Hours Later...

"We're Ho-o-ome!" Amy says as she walks back in her house, holding a small bag that had a necklace she bought.

"Where's Shadow?" Someone asks. Amy turns around. "Well, he was right behind me.." I walk in, holding about 10 bags in each arm. Half of it food, the other half clothes she thought was pretty. Suddenly, someone takes some of the bags.

"Hey." She says. It was Crystal. O//////O. She takes the bags, and puts them on the kitchen table.

"The guys are in our game room and the girls are watching a movie with me in my room." Crystal says, talking to Amy. My eyes follow her as she moves around the room, until she leaves to go put something Amy got her in her room. Amy got two more bags from my arms.

"Come on. These bags of food will go into the extra kitchen downstairs." I nod and follow her down the stairs. After we put everything away, Amy turns to face me.

"Hey, I want you to do me a favor." 'Oh no, please don't tell me she still wants to go shopping.' I think.

"Stay Away from Crystal."

*End of Supposed Flashback*

Amy's cold hard eyes stared right into my, red eyes.  'Wha? Why?' I thought. I stared deep into her eyes, trying to find a clue on why she would ask that of me. Her eyes softened, and some weird emotion started showing though. I thinks its.. concern. But, why would she be concerned?

"I know it's a weird request, but Crystal is going through.. a big stage in her life. And I don't think you being around her will help her figure it out." Amy said softly. 'But what could be happening to her that she would have to be away from me to figure out?' I thought. 'But still, I feel as if it would be best if I listen to Amy this one time. Besides, she knows Crystal better than anyone, so she would probably know what's best for her.' I sighed.

"Alright. I'll avoid her." She smiled, and jumped up to hug me.

"Thank you thank you thank you!!" 'Oh geez, she is so.. happy go lucky.'

"Okay. I think that's enough." I said, prying her off of me. Once, I did, she started laughing. 'I don't get it, what's so funny?' But, immediately after, she got all serious again.

"I need to get everyone here. Like I promised, I need to tell everyone. About that monster,  about this house, about.. Crystal and I."
