o(╥﹏╥)o

Amy's POV
I stepped out of the shower, drying my hair with my towel. I was excited and determined. It had been a week since I had talked to Shadow and it had only been earlier at eleven that I had seen him. Things felt different. I had finally kissed Sonic, but I didn't feel how I would have about a month ago.

I heard a knock on my door and I quickly slipped into my robe and ran down the stairs. I opened the door to see Rouge, a red dress in hand.
"Here you go, hun" she said coming in and giving me the dress. I closed the door. "Thank your Rouge" I said meaningfully. The white bat formed her mouth to a straight line as she laid eyes on my living room.

"Did a bomb go off?" She asked.
"No, but a heart had died" I answered.
"I'll tidy up and you get dressed. I'll come in a little while to do your make up" she called as I walked up the stairs.
"I'll be fine! I don't like make up!" I called.
"But you want to look good foe Shadow, don't you?" She asked as she stood behind me.

"Wouldn't it be suspicious if he finds me looking ready to take on the world instead of a little sad hedgehog that hasn't seen daylight in days?" She squinted her eyes at me.
"Touché." With that, she ran down the stairs back to the living room.
I slipped into the dress and looked into the mirror. Red was definitely my colour. The dress looked good, not to flashy but nice. I walked down the stairs.

"Well?" I asked, ready for her opinion.
She turned and smiled wildly.
"Darling, you look lovely."
"When Shadow get's here, you need to leave" I said, picking up a used tissue and setting it into the garbage.
"Oh, and don't answer the door quickly when he knocks" she warned as she put all the books and magazines into a basket.

"Why not?" I asked. "Won't it show him that I care?"
"Honey, you gotta pretend you don't know he's coming. So you gotta act like you were upstairs in bed and like you didn't hear any of Shadow and I's conversation. And don't mention Sonic or the dinner." I nodded, quickly taking mental notes for later.

A knock came to the door and I stared at Rouge. She nodded and quickly cleaned as fast as she could. I threw a tissue in the garbage and walked over to the door. I stared at Rouge and flinched as the knock came again.
"Open it now" she commanded as she sneaked out towards the back. The living room looked legit now. Rouge can clean pretty good.
I opened the door, looking down at my feet.

"Hello, miss Rose" greeted a cool dark voice. I looked up. His eyes refused to meet mine, as he looked to his right, his arms folded behind his back neatly. I had almost forgotten how much taller he was than me.
"S-Shadow" I cried out. I swiftly got closer before he could utter a solitary word of protest, and flung my arms around him. Something that I had wanted to do for days on end.

"I'm so sorry! It will never happen again!" I promised. He stood there for a second, and then shifted and stepped a little out of my arms. My heart was beating.
"Listen, Rose. Bat girl made me come down here. To talk to you."
My heart pounded. No. I wasn't going to lose him again.
"Listen, Shadow. I know kissing Sonic was wrong, I should've known better, and I do now!" I was already breaking Rouges rule about "not talking about the kiss or Sonic"

"I think this is where we should say goodbye" he declared; as if deaf to my plead and sincere apology.
"No, I can't do that" I said simply, trying to take my emotion from coming into anger.
"Than try, for once in your life" he said coldly as he turned and started walking away and down the steps.

I froze. What was the point of keeping him now. He had a sharp tongue, a cold heart and a stubborn personality. Exact opposite from me. He may not love me like Sonic, whom would save me and laugh with me. It would be perfect. I turned and placed me hand on the door knob. But did I want that? I looked at Shadow as he turned the corner. No.

I raced down the stairs and around the corner. "Shadow!" I called and once again, flung my arms around him.
"I can't leave you. And the only thing I'll be trying to do with my life, is getting you to love me. I will chase after you, and call your name. So if you don't want to be cuddled and hugged than I suggest you run like Sonic, too."

He turned around and took my arms off of him. "I am not Sonic. I will not run." He looked down into my eyes.
"You are a fool, Amy Rose."
"I will gladly be a fool if it means it will get me you" I cried out, narrowing my eyes as I tried to see his through the tears. He carefully brought his arms up and around me, and brought me in. I nuzzled into his chest, trying to hide my face and the tears, but it was no use.

I felt him warmly place his chin on the top of my heard. This. This is how it was supposed to be.
"Shall we go some where?" He asked.
"Ya, pick a place" I decided happily.
He thought carefully. I could tell that he was ruling out all the places that Sonic could possibly be. And I guess we both knew where that place would be.

"Are you ok with going to the beach?"
