As the children stirred from their sleep, Ms. Vanilla-the teacher cleaned the classroom and set up the table for Snack. Shadow, Amy, and Rouge had already awoken. Rouge had once again vanished to the cubby area, leaving Amy and Shadow in their corner.
Amy neatly folded the blankets and placed her bunny on top. Shadow eyed it and said "Why do you always carry that bunny around?"
Amy smiled at it, "My mommy gave it to me."
Shadow nodded and walked to the snack table without looking back. Rouge had their snacks placed on the table top. She picked up a plastic bag that contain several brown cubed objects.
"Amy..." Rouge started "What is these?"
Amy skipped up to the table clutching her bunny, "Those are my caramel!" she informed with a smile.
Rouge still looked at the sweets confused "Ca-ra-mels?" After gazing at the caramel, she tossed them over with a shrug.
She then picked up a plastic bag that contained carrots and sliced apples. In her other was a small cup-like container filled with peanut butter. She smirked and was about to speak when Shadow snatched the objects from her taking a sat beside Amy. "Problem?" His voice was daring her to comment, but she shifted in her sit and nibbled on a gram cracker.
Five minutes into snack, something appeared at his side of the table. Shadow glanced down and saw the cubed sweets again.
"Here you go, Shadow!" Amy's cheerful tone rung out
He didn't looked up at first, but when he felt her gaze on him he left his head "Thank you."
Her smiled brightened as she turned to tease Rouge, she, he now notice, was also given pieces of the strange candy. She tussled with it, trying desperately to swallow. Shadow picked one up and examined it, then he neatly unwrapped it and placed the treat in his mouth. He slowly chewed, over and over and then, his jaws locked. Shadow glance at Rouge, she was still struggling with the tiny bite she had. When no help could be found there, he turned to Amy, who had just consumed ten of the torturous things in seconds. He reached over and tugged on her sleeve.
"How," He spoke through painful chews "Do you eat these?"
She giggled and instructed him to suck on the sweet then swallow. Shadow swallowed victoriously and glared down a the remaining caramels. He pushed them back to Amy, there was no way he was eating those again.
AS the daycare class unloaded the room for recess, Shadow stayed behind and sat in his little corner. He wasn't sad now, he was used to it... Amy would play with her friends and Rouge would be doing whatever, but today was different.
"Shadow!" Amy called "Come on! Let's play!"
Rouge stood closely behind her, waiting impatiently.
Shadow looked at her confused and asked quietly "What happen to your friends?"
Amy grabbed his hand and pulled, but he didn't budge. "You're my friend silly!" She said and pulled again this time pulling him up.
Rouge shifted and glanced around the small classroom and then out the door "Can we go now?
"Rouge has a boyfriend!" Amy announced
"No I don't!" She protested, but the cheery blush that seeped through her cheeks told a different story.
Shadow smirked and flicked her redden nose, he would enjoy teasing her throughout the day.
Her reaction was amusing as her blush was now darker. "H-hey!" She called after him, but he only smirked and tossed a "Hn." over his boyishly small shoulder.
After three games of hid 'n' seek, a game of charades, which lead to a heap of confusion, and rounds on the marry-go-round, the tired toddlers stumbled to their awaiting guardians. Amy was half asleep with her bunny tucked under her arms and herself tucked in someone's folded arms. "Bye Shadow..." She muttered as her and Rouge barely touched hands, retreating smiles and words of tomorrow.
"Good bye." He said lonely, not ready to part just yet. Then he felt familiar arms gently cradle him and unexpectedly went limp.
A calm voice pulled him deeper into dreamland "Come along, Shadow." He tried pulling away, but he had already nodded off.
