The fact of it getting much darker than usual, Amy hadn't the slightest worry for all the things she would ever need were close to home. A pharmacy resided across the street from her apartment, next to that was a supermarket, a knick-knack Shoppe, a 99cent store down her block, a flower shop resided a few houses up on her block and the bus stop was across the street. She hadn't a care in the world, as she went to her home, sweet home. She shared her sweet home with Red. Red was a very quiet, shy pup, literally. She SERIOUSLY couldn't hurt a fly, but Amy loved her for that, and she was helping Red with her college living until Red had a stable job to account for her living arraignments in college.

As she unlocked the apartment door, climbed the stairs to the third floor and lugged the shopping bags to her door, she heard screaming on the other side of her door. Not hesitating to unlock the door she kicked it wide, breaking it off the hinge. Her eyes buzzed around the living room scanning for the source.

"Ahhh! Help!" The sound was muffled now, looking to the bedroom she quickly torn that door down too.

The scene simply shocked her. Red was sitting at her computer desk trying to force something. Amy stumbled over slowly to her desk, hesitantly waiting for her to turn around. To her surprise, Red had gotten her gloves stuck in the printer…

As Amy flipped the top if the printer and unhooked her glove, a sigh of relief came to Red as she thanked Amy profusely. Amy simply shook her head with disbelief and went back to the front door to pick up her groceries and placed them on the living room and kitchen counters.

"Amy! I'm so glad you're home! It's gotten awfully dark, nowadays, and I like to see you safe!" Red was that thoughtful young sister that would give you a dollar for snacks after school. Seeing that Amy had turned 22 just last week, she felt like an older sister.

"Yes, I know, Red. So, how was your day? Have you gotten anything for your college paper yet? This reminds me, here, more ink and computer paper." Amy handed the items one by one into Reds hands, making the smile on Reds face beam.

To answer her questions in order, Red replied, "My day was just fine, up to the point where my glove got caught in the printer… I have thought of what to write but I can't put my words together! Thank you so much for the paper and ink! Turns out, I had JUST ran out, too!"

As Amy nodded and commenced the separation of groceries to their respective spots. She soon started cooking. Amy was all grown up now. Throwing away her childish 12-19 year old dream of chasing that Hedgehog, with those blasphemous ideas of marriage and love that was never there. She threw the empty plastic bags into a container and opened the fridge. Scanning for their meal, Red was speculating at her fingers working rapidly to the keyboard clacking away at the words sprouting on her college thesis essay. Amy smiled because the way Red was, reminded Amy of herself, the Rosy Rascal that made her hot headed and determined spirit chase after
Sonic for so many years. That all changed with the reality check she had been given by Shadow…

*****FLASHBACK*****(From Amy's P.O.V)

I'd never given thought to how everything had started, but I remember the end. It was late October, a week before the annual holiday festival the Human race called Halloween… I particularly wanted to participate in this holiday, talks of candy and parties and costumes interested me at the young age of 18. Me, Rouge, and Tikal, had all gone to Sonic and Tails Halloween party. As we walked the bustling night streets to their house, we commented on each others costumes.

"I still cant believe you wore that, Rouge." I exclaimed staring at her attire. She had adorned a super woman outfit with a few of her personal touches, for instance, the decorative 'M' that curved super womans breasts was removed and the center was cut in the middle to give her, 'babies', some air. The outfits colors were changed from red white and blue, to purple black and pink. With black and [ink boots that went up to her knees.

"Knuckles wont be able to keep his eyes off of me! Not tonight!" Rouge mentioned confidently, "I cant believe you wore something so normal, Amy…"

"I have respect for my body!" I on the other hand had worn a black and gray witch costume with cleavage around my stomach and hints of red on the sides of my boots, I looked like an average teenager, dressing up for Halloween.

"OK. Whatever you say." Rouge particularly disliked the fact that some girls had gorgeous figures and concealed it for what others would think or them. Rouge, then again, loved herself and didn't care for what others thought of her. 'Bye, haters!" was her "motto", or so she says.

"Tikal! I love your nurses outfit! Its positively adorable!" I had squealed.

"Oh, why thank you, Amy. I very well much like your outfit as well!" Tikal curtsied, lifting her nurses skirt that was blue and gray and white, it reached very well above her ankles allowing her normal white shoes to be shown. Her top was all white with blue and gray floral designs and had a blue cross adorned her left breast, and a white nurse cap with the same icon on top.

"Thanks, Tikal." We walked up to the haunted looking house atop Wind Valley Hill. Unaware of someone who had followed us.

*****FLASHBACK END*****

Amy's thoughts were interrupted when she smelled something burning.

"Oh, SHIT!" Amy jumped for the stove to hopefully save the meal from over cooking, but all was in vain.

"Everything ok, Amy?" Red called from the room to see Amy frantically getting the pot out of the oven and with a distressed look on her face.

"Yeah… But the dinner is ruined… I'm sorry, I was daydreaming… How about this? We go out for dinner. It's only 8:30," Amy threw the ruined food into the food dispenser and got her coat and handed Red hers.

"Sure! I don't mind! We'll work out later right?" Though Red wasn't very loud or noisy, she packed one HELL of a punch!

"Of course! As always, Red." With that, the roommates walked down their apartment stairs to the still bustling January streets of Station Square.
