In Between the Rose's Shadow

The Conversations

Shadow Pov

Ahh, the training room stress reliever. "And then she asked I was going to make it official," I yelled throwing a punch at Knuckles face. He dodged it and try to throw one at my gut. I grabbed his fist and pushed him back. "Well  I can see why she really may want the ring. So how did you respond?" He asked kicking my shoulder. "I just said maybe, I really don't know. I barely thought about it." I jumped up and kicked him in the stomach. He caught my foot and threw me down. "Obviously, your thinking about something right now. You're not doing your best. Or even your average." He held up his hand to help me up. "Tell me what's bugging you really." I sighed and took his hand. "I just don't know if I can make that big commitment. I never really thought about the future of Me and Rose." I rubbed my temples.

"Is it wrong I wasn't planning on it." He chuckled. "You think I was planning to marry Rouge? It just happened and then Ruby came along and I wouldn't change a thing. I mean how could I? I love her,and you know wanted to show she was mine in more ways than one." He  smirked and patted my back. "Who knew Knuckles would have good advice." I said and he punched my shoulder. So when is it the right time to ask her?" I asked rubbing my shoulder. "You just know. When you feel it's right, Amy might have to wait a bit but don't have her wait to long, ok? She is like my sister and a good friend. And even though I like you Shadow, I will fuck you up." He laughed. "If you fight like you did today I should have no problem doing so." I smirked. "Just be glad she didn't tell Ro-" He opened the door and there stood an furious Rouge. Veins popping, eyes filled with fire. And she was growling. "SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG! YOU ARE SO DEAD!!" She screamed.

After an hour of Rouge yelling at me and a minor migraine, I decided to buy Rose a gift. Just diamond necklace. Think of it like a practice round before the real deal. And the way Rouge talked to me about how Rose was so disappointed. How she wanted a stable relationship now. "She thinks she found her true love. Don't make her wait to long." She had calmed down at the last 5 minutes of her raging lecture. I walked to one of the transporter and decided to go visit Station square. Now since The Horizon time is faster than earth time I'm used to eat being summer right now. It's fucking the end of winter right now. I was so unprepared and so dumb for not checking the season status on the machine. So it was very cold then what I am used to. I first decided to go back to our old mansion and change into some more comfortable clothing.  A jacket maybe.

We haven't been in this house for a whole week which is only like 1 day on earth's rotation. We come back sometimes to party, or to check out for Eggman, who has been pretty quite to our pleasure. Once I reached the house, I jogged up to my room, and changed my clothes. If I were to become King I would change the rule about wearing the traditional clothes. I changed my shirt and began putting on my jacket when I heard a cry from the closet. The fuck is that? I whispered chaos control just in case I was dealing with a killer or something. I crept towards the door and swung it open. "Dad?"

Dad...? A little black hedgehog stared at me. She looked no older than twelve years old and she was smiling at me. Her quills were pulled into two pony tail and she had three layering a bang on her forehead. There was something about her eyes, they were emerald and...Rose's. "I'm sorry little girl I'm not your Father." I try to say but the words didn't leave my mouth. Instead she smiled and ran right through me. I spun around and saw her embrace an slightly older...me? "Silhouette I told you to stay in my sight. I don't want to lose you." He I mean I said to her. "I was scared of the sounds of thunder. Then the lights went out." He hugged her really tight. "I would protect you from anything you're scared of Silhouette. That's what I'm here for."  "Shadow?" Someone said from the doorway. "Rose." We both said. "She was wearing a nightgown, had her hair up in a bun and had a small round belly. "I was looking for Sill. She got scared of the thunderstorm and left her room." Rose smiled and rubbed her stomach. "I couldn't sleep much either." Other me smiled and kissed Rose's cheek. "How about I get some ice cream? Since the power is out we don't want it to melt." She said and held the little hedgehog hand. "Yay!" The lil one had said and all three of is walked out of my door. "Wait!" I yell and try to follow them and suddenly I'm falling into the ground and again I see me.
