It was freshmen year in college, and Amy Rose had just settled into her dorm room. It was a nice room, with it's lavender painted wall, sea green bathroom, and decent sized work area. Amy lied down on her bed and stared up at the cealing, daydreaming of what college will be like through out the years. Amy was going to school at U.C. Davis learning on how to be a vetraniarian. She always wanted to be one, since she loved animals. And if she changes her mind and wants to be a doctor then she only has to go to school for two more years.
While Amy was daydreaming a purple cat walks in, sets her things down then looks at her. The cat cleard her throught and Amy instantly snapped out of her daydream and looked at the cat.
"Oh, hello. Sorry, I didn't hear you come in. Are you my room mate?" Amy asked.
"Hello, it's ok, and yes I am your room mate. My name is Blaze the cat, what's yours?"
"Amy, Amy Rose" Amy said proudly.
"Hey is your dad Cosmic Rose, the record producer?" Blaze asked
"Yes why?"
"OMG, he is just like the best, do you think I could meet him when he comes to visit you?
"Um, sorry my dad won't be visiting me" Amy sadly told Blaze, and hung her head.
"Well why not?" Blaze was now very curious.
"All he cares about is money, not me. He's the most careless father ever."
A tear ran down her cheek, but she held the rest in. Blaze walked over to her, sat on Amy's bed and patted her back.
"Hey, cheer up. I'm sorry I asked, I was just curious." Blaze gently said.
"It's alright, but you know curiosity is dangerous." Amy spoke up.
"How?" Blaze got even more curious.
"You know what they say, 'curiosity killed the cat'" Amy stated.
"HEY! Don't even joke about that! Blaze yelled but started to giggle. Amy started to laugh as well then there was uncontrolled laughter in the room. Finally they stopped and then they heard a growl. Amy looked at Blaze and Blaze looked at her stomach.
"Heh, looks like i'm hungry. How about we go get some food. I know a really great place on campus that's cheep but delicious." Blaze offered.
"Alright, I guess I could get a bite to eat."
They left the room and the dorm and walked across campus. Then at the other end of the school was a small resturant called Hometown. They entered the resturant and found there were already a bunch of students there. When the waitress came, she told Amy and Blaze it would be another hour until a seat opens up, but then Blaze got out some kind of card, shows it to the waitress for a few seconds, then puts it back. The waitress then shows them a table and they are seated with there meues in hand, looking for something good to eat for lunch. Amy already found what she was going to have then looked at Blaze.
"Blaze, what was that card you showed the waitress?" Amy wondered.
"I use to work here, so when I had to quit because of my studies, they gave me this card which says I can eat here anytime no matter how packed it is." Blaze giddily stated.
When they were ordering there drinks, a very handsome guy took there orders. When he started to leave, Amy couldn't help but stare at him. Blaze saw this and smirked, then cleared her throught to bring her back to reality. Amy looked back at Blaze and started to blush.
"So Amy, what was that you were doing just now?" Blaze was smirking evily.
"I wasn't doing anything" Amy said quickly.
"Oh come on Amy, I saw you staring at our waiter, and I also see that blush all over your face." Amy's blush got brighter. Blaze started to giggle, but then stopped as soon as the hansome waiter came back with there drinks.
"Here are your drinks. And have you two decided what you are getting?" The guy asked. They nodded there heads at the same time and told them what they wanted. He wrote them down and headed to the kitchen. Amy sunk down into her seat, know that she stared at him when he was there.
"I can see you like him, Amy. It's no secret with that blush, that hasn't gone away." Blaze laughed at Amy's embarrasment. "You know he goes to school here. He's a junor and super smart. Every girl has asked him out, but they struck out. Apparently he won't date anyone." Blaze explaned.
"What's his name?"
"His name is Shadow the Hedgehog"
"Does he always look so stone cold? Like emotionless?"
"Yes, but that's juat what makes him even more irresitable. Trust me even I have asked him out, and he turned me down. Sure I was upset but I got over it quickly, and found someone else that I might actually love." Blaze continued.
"What's his name?"
"His name is Silver the Hedgehog. And even though he can be a bit of an air head at times, he is just the sweetest thing, especally when it comes to animals." Blaze started to daydream about her and Sliver. Amy just looked at her, then noticed that Shadow came back with there plates of food.
"Here are your orders, and I hope you enjoy them. If you need anything just call for me and I will get whatever you need." Shadow said sounding kind of annoyed. He left and Amy woke Blaze up from her daydream. They ate, paied the bill, and left to there dorm room. When they got there, they both relaxed on there beds talking about there lives. Time flew and it was already 6:30 and Amy had to get to class.
"See yah later Blaze" Amy said waving a hand to her.
Amy reached her class and sat down. The teacher wasn't there and she could hear everyones conversations. She looked around the room see who was in it, then she saw someone very familier. It was Shadow. He was sitting in the back of the room next to the window, staring off in the distance at the near by tree. Amy looked at him from top to bottom. Shadow felt like someone was staring at him, and looked in the direction of Amy who met his eyes for a second then looked away embarressed of what just happened. Amy was blushing bright red and would have been noticed if she didn't put her head now on the desk. Then finally the teacher walkes in and inturups everyones conversations. Everyone sits down, takes a piece of paper down and start taking notes as he is writing them. Amy did the same but her mind kept wandering. She kept thinking about Shadow, and how beautiful his red eyes are. When things were wandering to far, Amy brought herself back to reality, and kept taking notes. The teacher stopped writing on the board and started talking to the class. The lecture was about the bones, and deseases of an animal. At some parts it was interesting but the lecture was mostly boring, so Amy decided to daydream. The teacher continued on until he saw Amy staring off into space. He stopped talking, walked over to her and yelled, "Miss Rose, is there something more important on your mind then this lecture. I hope not because I will be testing you on what I said this friday, and I do hope you took notes." As soon as Amy heard his loud stuffy voice she came out of her daydream and looked strait at him. She nodded not really knowing what to say. He walked back to the front of the class and started talking again, this time Amy stayed focused. It was 8:45 pm and class had finally ended. Her classmates looked at her. Some started laughing, some were trying to hold in laughter and others were making smart ass comments about what happened in class. Amy looked down in shame when Shadow came up from behind. He looked at the idiots who were making fun of her.
"Why do you mock her? It could have happened to anyone, so it's no big deal. And if I were you, I would just stop any smart ass comments and any laughter, turn around and go home." Shadow emotionlessly said. No one moved they just looked at him in awww. "Unless you want to get the shit beaten out of you, I sugest you do as I just told you to do" Shadow continued. They all did what he said, some even said sorry to Amy. Amy lifted her head, turned around and saw Shadow standing there staring at her.
"Are you alright?" Amy was blushing now, and just staring into his beautiful deep red eyes. She didn't say a word. "Or did they hurt your feelings to much to even talk." Shadow sighed. Amy finally got her speech back, turning away from his eyes.
"I'm fine, and thank you for helping me." Amy chocked out. Every word she said was hard to get out. She was affraid of him yet very attracted to him. She started to walk away, when Shadow grabbed her wrist, stopping Amy in her place. Amy looked back at Shadow her blush still there and getting brighter from his touch.
"Where are you going?" Shadow asked.
"uh..um... b-back to my dorm" Amy studdered.
"Well, before you go, I must know your name" Amy didn't say a word she was to embarrased to say anything.
"Please tell me your name" Shadow begged. Amy finally chocked out her final words to him for the night.
" I-it's Amy, Amy Rose"
Shadow let go of her wrist and watched Amy run out of the building to her dorm. He stared at the spot she was just at. After a while Shadow left the building and went to his dorm and said his final words for the night.
"Thank you...Rose." He whispered in the dark night which was only lit up by the dim campus lights.
Morning came. It was bright outside, and many students alarm clocks were going off to tell them that there morning classes would start in and hour. One of these students was Amy. She was tired and didn't want to get up, but she willed herself to get out of bed and get dressed. Her roomate, Blaze also had morning classes but sadly they weren't with Amy. She also got ready for the long day.
Across campus was another student getting ready to have class along with his room mate. Shadow, hated morings but he knew he couldn't afford to miss a class. He very tiredly got up and got dressed. His room mate was Sonic. He was a very hyper and cocky hedgehog who always annoyed Shadow. And of course Sonic had friends who lived right acorss from them so they would come over often, which irritated Shadow.
As soon as Shadow was fully clothed he walked down to the dinning hall and grabbed some breakfast. Sonic who was right behind him did the same, and sat next to him. Shadow looked at him, then looked down at his tray of food and began to eat.
"Go away" Shadow said after swollowing his mouthful of food.
"Why shads, were best friends, and friends always sit together." Sonic stated
"Hmph, friends? I have no friends and I choose to keep it that way."
"To me your my friend, and that's all that matters." Sonic ate all his food quickly. "Oh, we better get to class." Sonic quickly said grabbing all his things. Shadow finished his food, grabbed his things, and headed to class, ignoring Sonic's babbling. Once in class, you could hear everyone talk about there morning, or how there night was, or just something stupid. Shadow was walking to his desk when Sonic stopped him.
"Dude take a look at that beauty over there." Sonic pointed to the girl by the window. Shadow looked and relized it was Amy. She was sitting alone, no one was around her. Sad really. Instead of sitting in his normal spot Shadow decided to sit with her, but once again he was stopped by Sonic.
"Hey dude, I call dibbs on this one." Sonic stated. Shadow just looked at him and smirked.
"Sorry Sonic, but this one is mine." Sonic stared in aw, at Shadow from what he just said.
"I-I thought you would never date a girl, I always thought you were gay!" Sonic said panicky. Shadow glared at him, then puched him in the gut, making Sonic dubble over and fall to the floor in pain. Shadow turned back toward Amy. He walked over to her and sat down right next to her. Amy was reading a book. She looked very interested in it, and didn't even take her eyes off the page. Shadow decided to do something funny. Shadow got up and walked around behind Amy, He bent down next to Amy's ear.
"Hello Rose." Shadow whispered into Amy's ear. Amy jumped and looked behind her to see Shadow standing there. Shadow was chuckling.
"Not funny" She said.
"Your right, it's hilarious" Shadow backfired. Shadow sat back down next to Amy. Amy closed her book and put it away, getting out a notebook and her textbook. She looked at Shadow.
"Why are you sitting next to me? Don't you usually sit in the back?" Amy wondered.
" Yes well, I saw you sitting alone and thought I could keep you company, but if you don't want it, I will sit in the back."
"No please stay, I like your company."
While Shadow and Amy talk, Sonic finally got up off the ground and walked over to Shadow.
" That was NOT cool, Shadow" Sonic yelled. Amy looked at him
"What did he do?" Amy asked.
"He punched me in the stomach"
"Sonic go away" Shadow interupted. Amy glared at Shadow then back to Sonic. She stood up and put her hand out.
"I'm sorry for what happened and by the way, my name is Amy, Amy Rose." Sonic took Amy's hand and shook it.
"It's ok, if it didn't happen then I probably wouldn't have met such a pretty girl, such as yourself. My name is Sonic by the way." He let go of her hand and sat behind Amy. Amy sat back down right as the teacher came in the room.
