The Change Book I & II

H

Shadow was grumpy and more annoyed than usual. It took a lot of courage for Amy to finally go to his room and speak with him.

She knocked on his door and after a few seconds, Shadow opened it.

"Hey, Shadow."

"Rose...What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to talk to you...Can I come in?"

Shadow nodded as he opens the door for her. She whispered a 'Thank you' as she walked inside his room.

"So, tell me, what brings you here?" Shadow asked.

"I noticed that you been acting differently...I just wanted to ask you if everything was ok."

"Thank you for worrying, but yes everything is ok."

"Are you sure? You know you can tell me everything... we are best friends after all."

Shadow felt relieved at that. He smirked and hugged her. Amy was surprised but hugged him back as well.

"You know..." Shadow began, "You can tell me everything as well."

Amy looked down at the floor as she separated herself from Shadow. She felt a bit embarrassed, "Actually...I wanted to tell you... that..."

"What?"

"Sonic and I are dating."

Deep down, Shadow didn't want to admit it. He really wanted to believe that his eyes were playing a prank on him. That it wasn't true.

But why? He had a girlfriend so what was wrong if Amy had a boyfriend?

Why was he feeling... so angry?

"I don't know what you see on him."

"He is caring, good, kind." Amy smiled, teasingly. "Do you really want me to say the whole list?"

"No, I think I might vomit if you do."

"Hey!"

Amy pouted and at the sight he played with her hair, making it messy.

After a long talk, Shadow discovered that maybe, nothing had changed between them.

Even after months of not talking to each other, talking to each other right now felt as if that time never had happened.

Shadow still didn't understand why he was so angry at Amy being with Sonic.

Maybe with time, he will learn to cope with it.

But he was so wrong.

"Hey, Amy ... let's go on a mission!"

It was strange for Amy for Shadow to be like this suddenly. They hadn't talked in a while and although Amy appreciated the thought, she couldn't go. Right now it wasn't the best moment.

"I am sorry, Shadow. I can't today." She said apologetically.

"Why?"

"I have a date ... with Sonic."

Shadow's expression changed. His relaxed arms were now crossed on his chest. His soft stand was now firm and his eyes glowed, a little bit more conflicted.

"After your date?"

This was something new, Shadow wasn't one to insist. Whenever he did that meant that he really wanted it.
