A Black and Red Rose (Revision) [Shadamy]

Chapter 9

However Amy was met with a surprise. "Scourge you ass! I had told you to turn off the stove!" Amy shouted. "Now the food is burnt." The thing that shocked Amy the most was that they didn't even smell the burnt food. It's not even recognizable...

Scourge scratched his head and shrugged. A loud oops could be heard. Everyone heard a groan and a huge whack in the kitchen.

Just then, Sonic got a mischievous idea. He cleared his throat and licked his lips before saying: "Starving; you wouldn't happen to have some dozens of chile dogs, do you?" Everyone glared at Sonic. 'You're dead,' Scourge mouthed at him, making the slicing sign.

Amy sighed and shook her head. "You wanna die?" She yelled. No answer. She rolled her eyes in annoyance. Amy knew Sonic was merely pushing her buttons but she wasn't to be messed with when it came to the cooking of food.

She tried to salvage the food but it was useless. Amy sighed in defeat and walked over to the trashcan, dumping the spoiled food inside. She then threw the hot pan into the sink and turned on the faucet, water sizzling when it came into contact with it.

"I guess there's no other option," Amy sighed, again, and grabbed her phone. "Who wants pizza?"

Everyone agreed with that, not wanting to anger her anymore. She poked her head out the kitchen and looked around. "Wouldn't want the house to smell like fart when he falls asleep," Amy snickered, as she faced Scourge. He couldn't do anything but laugh at that. Sonic groaned at her words and turned pink. Sally full on began to crack up, along with Tails.

Amy smiled big and returned to the kitchen, and called Jacey's Whack Pizza - the best pizza around...in town.

After Amy hung up, she heard the bickering of two certain hedgehogs. Then her brother joined in on the argument. Something about who was faster and better at combat. She walked into the living room and saw all three of them making a sort of triangle. Scourge was the tip, Sonic the bottom left and Shadow the bottom right.

"Ladies, ladies, you're all beautiful, but I'm the best beauty around," Amy said, doing the famous hair flip. She smirked at them, trying to hold back a laugh. She sat down on the arm rest of the couch where Shadow was.

"You?!" Scourge bellowed a hearty laugh,"You could put a pig to shame with how unlady like you are! Your cussing might as well make Black Beard shave his beard off and be a business man!"

Amy snorted,"I am anything but a lady. I don't like those stupid stereo types where 'ladies have to sit with their legs together!' What a load of poop!"

Scourge stared at her, his lips trembling as he held back laughter, "You really said poop?"

"Yeah, you've got a problem with it old man?" Amy smirked, crossing her arms over her chest.

Scourge's trembled more now as his cheeks turned pink and his eyes were turning watery. "You said poop," he bit out, his mouth struggling to get the words out.

Silence took over for two seconds before everyone burst out laughing.

"I really missed this... Us, together," Cream said. Cheese made a sound of approval, his smile brightening up his face. Amy sent a smile her direction. She then took a glance at the clock and stood up from where she was.

"Well, Scourge, keep our guests company, I will go retrieve our food!" Amy smiled, grabbing her car keys and wallet. Shadow had gotten up and followed her, avoiding the gazes of the others as he walked past.

"Wait, Rose, may I go with you?" Shadow asked. He saw Amy smile briefly and her eyes light up before turning around and saying he could. The two hedgehogs stepped through a door and into the garage.

"Sorry, it's a bit dusty in here!" Amy called, unlocking her camaro. Shadow laughed, and looked at her. She really had changed, and for the so called "better" it seemed. He liked - no, loved her for who she was, no matter what.

"Hey, android, c'mon, pizza is waiting." Amy called out before getting on.

Shadow made a face and climbed on. "Did you really call me an android?"

"As if I can't hear that amused tone in your voice," Amy chuckled, turning ignition, opening the garage door. "It was the only way I thought of getting your attention since it looked like you were off in lala-land. I hope you can forgive me."

Amy looked at Shadow straight into his eyes, and smiled. "Yeah," Shadow looked away, hoping she didn't see the blush forming on his muzzle."I know you would never mean that in a mean way."

Amy began to pull out of the garage,"Oh? What makes you say that, Shadow?" She was looking left and right, before going left.

"I don't know, you're a nice hedgehog, Amy. You care for everyone even when you feel down."

Amy sighed. "How do you know it's still true, though? It has been three months since the last time you saw me. I've changed."

Silence. It was beginning to grow thick, and Amy began to wonder. When the approached a stop light, she turned her gaze to Shadow, and froze. He was staring right at her.

"That moment you had with Cream? Don't tell me that you didn't at least melt a little when that poor bunny hugged you. I saw the recognition in your eyes. The old Amy is still alive. You choose to lock her up inside and put a façade up. One of bravery. It's okay to be afraid." I... was afraid too. I was afraid of losing you. Of never seeing you again.

"Oh Shadow..." Amy sighed. They were in silence the entire drive to the pizzeria. When they finally got there, Amy unbuckled her belt and hugged Shadow. I just don't want to hurt you, Shadow. I'm stubborn as a mule. I'm sorry... I'm sorry that I love you. You deserve someone better. A better friend...

"I...um..I'm gonna get that pizza before it gets cold um..." Amy said, pulling back."Um... Be right back," she mumbled. She stepped out of the car and into the pizzeria.

Not far, in a tree was a man spying on the duo. Both hedgehogs were brewing with the same feelings, Heechul could tell. The doctor was right. The rose hedgehog's loyalties had changed. And it was clear the ebony hedgehog had feelings for her.

Oh yes. The doctor's plans were well under way.
