Out of the Slump~Shadamy

Party?

Shadows Pov

"He did what?" I raise an eyebrow at the white bat sitting across the table from me.

Rouge had called me this morning begging me to go to lunch with her. It was my day off and I was sleeping in. She probably knew that but the first thing she does when I pick up the phone is scream at the top of her lungs,

"SHADOWWWW COME TO LUNCH WITH ME!"

So, now I'm here. She was just getting to tell me a very interesting story as well.

"He gave me flowers Shadow." She look amused. I wasn't.

"Toni gave you flowers? Why?"

"How could he not be into all this." She gestures to herself a seductive smirk forming.

If I didn't know Rouge the way that I do I might just be attracted to her. But I think I know to much. I know just how crazy she is and I've experienced it first hand. I'm more fearful then anything.

"Sure." I sigh, "But that's all? He just gave you flowers and went about his day?"

"He asked me out on a date but I told him I was already interested in someone. You know, the usual." She shrugged.

"Interested in someone?"

"Yes Shadow, you know that I've been seeing Knuckles lately, don't act so surprised."

She's right, but I had forgotten. Knuckles and Rouge have been getting closer over the last few months. I wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for how much Rouge talks about him.

I didn't know that she was that serious about him though. Rouge is the type to like someone for about a week and be bored, but she also is picky about her men.

Strange.

"Oh."

...

Lunch ends soon after, Rouge says she has to leave to meet up with Knuckles so I head back to my car after we pay the bill. I plan to just head home but for some reason I have the urge to call someone.

Before I know it I pick up my phone to call Amy.

"Hello." Her smooth voice finally answers after about three rings. It caught me off guard slightly.

"What's your plans for the day?" I ask.

"Hi to you too." She mumbles," Nothing at the moment. Why?"

"Let's do something."

"Like?"

"You like ice cream?"

"...Hurry up." She ends the call.

I laugh to myself. This girl is a handful. I wouldn't take her for the sassy type but I've learned in the last few days that she's almost sassier than Rouge. Probably why they get along so well.

By the time I make it to her house, she's already waiting on the porch. She has on some light blue jeans a white top and a long tan cardigan. Her quills are up in a messy bun but her bangs hang over her eyes still.

When she spots my car pulling up she smiles and waves before coming down the steps to meet me.

"Heyy." She says as she opens the passenger side door. She sits down and I can smell the sweet scent of her perfume.

"Hey." I turn my head to look at her, letting my hands fall from the wheel.

"Soooo, ice cream." She cheeses.

"That's the plan." I nod.

"What possessed you to do this today?"

"Dunno. Just felt like it."
