Chapter two! I want to start off by saying, no offence to you Sonic fans, I like Sonic myslef, so don't get upset. I don't own Sonic and others, credit for them goes to the Sonic Team. I also don't own Lime Coke.

A/N: Many think black is the color of evil, but they are wrong. For in truth, the color of evil is pink.

It was late. The moon was no where to be seen in the sky, but the stars shined bright, making the sky sparkle. Shadow and Amy had just returned to Station Square from their honey moon. They sat on a bench in front of the train station waiting for Vanilla to come with a cab and pick them up. Shadow wasn't to thrilled with the thought of staying with Vanilla and Cream, but that was where Amy lived and Shadow didn't have a decent place to call home. Though the two had an apartment, they would have to wait till morning to move in. Amy, sencing his uneasyness,grabbed Shadow's hand and looked into his eyes.

"Shadow, it will be fine. Don't look so nervous!" Amy teased.

Shadow looked at the ground for a moment then turned back to Amy's gaze. "I just feel that Vanilla doesn't want my presence in her home."

"Now what makes you think that?" Amy insisted.

"She fainted when you told her we were engaged, and she's always preferred Sonic."

Amy shook her head slightly and smiled. "Well, maybe she just finds you too 'dark'. Don't worry, she'll warm up to you! And Cream stopped having nightmares about you along time ago." Shadow grinned a little, but didn't find Amy's joke very amusing. "Shadow, all that really matters is what we think, so don't be so up tight. Even if Vanilla dose like Sonic more than you, I have decided that he is an ugly shade of blue and far to vain for my tastes!"
Shadow looked up and smiled at Amy's quoting him. He felt a little more at easy. Besides, they were only staying for one night, what's the worst that could happen? Headlights became visible as a car came up the road. Amy stood and stretched as Shadow gathered the luggage. The cab pulled up to the curb and they both climbed in.

The car drive home was relatively quite. Of course Amy was no longer able to call Vanilla's house home, for she would be moving out in the morning. Amy was very happy to see Vanilla, as was Vanilla to see Amy. But Shadow only received a slight nod and a smile from the aging rabbit. After twenty minutes of awkward silence, Amy was able see the house, and as they pulled into the drive way, Cream and Cheese came busting through the door.

"Amy!" Cream yelled with excitement.

"Chao Chao!"" Cheese has always had a way with words.

"Eeeehhh! Cream! I missed you!" Amy gave the little bunny a hug. Though she was no longer very little, Amy would always see Cream as "her little friend".

"Hello Mr. Shadow. I hope you enjoy your visit in our home." Cream said with a bow and a smile.

Vanilla offered them something to eat, but Shadow was exhausted from traveling. He politely turned down the offer of food and went strait to Amy's room. As soon as he opened the door and walked into the room, he was horrified! There was pink everywhere. The walls were pink, the bed was pink, even the chair was pink. Shadows stomach began to feel queasy and his left eye began to twitch. He slowly walked over to the bed and sat down. At least they would only be here for one night in the pink room from heck! There was a slight knock on the door and Amy walked into the room.

"Hey," she said softly. "Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?"
"Food is over rated," Shadow said with a grin.

"Ha ha ha! Here, I thought you would like a Lime Coke." Ah, how kind of Amy to bring him a bottle of lushes, tasty, thirst quenching Lime Coke. It's red and lime bottle were just the colors Shadow needed to see. He popped the top and slowly pressed the opening to his lips. He was going to enjoy every molecule of the coke that bottle had to offer. Sipping it, the cool, refreshing liquid filled his mouth with an array of flavor. After a moment of bliss, he removed the bottle to express his gratitude.

"Thank you," and he kissed her on the check.

Amy smiled, and with a wink, left the room to chat with Cream an Vanilla some more. Shadow chugged what remained of his Lime Coke, looked around the room and cringed, then laded his head on Amy's soft squishy pink pillow and drifted off to sleep.

As the sun slowly rose, thin raise of light crept through Amy's window, shining in her face and waking her. She looked beside her, but Shadow wasn't there. Amy sat up with a yawn and a stretch. Rubbing her eyes, she sauntered into the kitchen. Vanilla was at the stove serving breakfast and the aroma of bacon and eggs filled the house, making everyone hungry.

"Good morning Vanilla!" Amy exclaimed happily.

"Oh! Amy," Vanilla looked up from the stove, "Your awake! Did you sleep well?"

"Why, yes I did! And thank you for letting us stay here for the night."

Vanilla smiled warmly. "No problem, you can come here anytime."

Amy returned Vanilla's smile and began to look around the room for any signs of Shadow. Seeing none, she turned back to Vanilla. "Have you seen Shadow this morning?"

"Why, yes dear," Vanilla added pepper to the eggs, "I believe he went for a morning run."
Satisfied with Vanilla's answer, Amy grabbed a cup of coffee and her favorite book. She curled up on the couch closest to the door so she could be sure to be the first to great Shadow when he returned. But after about fifteen minutes or so, Amy had trouble concentrating. Why hasn't Shadow returned yet? Amy closed her book and listened. She heard the squeak of breaks and the screech of stopping tiers. Cream opened her bedroom door and sleepily walked into the living
room.

"Amy," she said with a yawn, "what is all that noise outside?"

Amy looked at Cream and smiled, "It sounds like the moving van."Indeed it was the moving van. Shadow must of told Tails to ''come on over'' while he was out. She had wanted to wait till after breakfast for the van to come, but it wasn't that big of a deal, and there was no need to get upset. But she was a little irritated. She set her coffee on the table and went out side to greet Shadow, Tails, and, to her surprise, Sonic too.

"Sonic?" Amy said in a distasteful tone, "What are you doing here?"

"Hey ya' Ames!" Sonic exclaimed, "Sally said I should help you and Shad, move into your new apartment since Knuckles wont be able to make it."

"Ok then," Amy looked around, "Where's Shadow?"

"He's In the back of the van," Tails said as he climbed out of the drivers seat. He should be to young to revive a license, but he was a far better driver than any of the others could expect to be. Tails walked Amy to the back of the van and opened it for her. Inside where the few things that belonged to Shadow, a couple of boxes that contained his belongings, and an ugly green chair. Shadow stood up and walked towards Amy. Smiling he jumped to the ground beside her.
"Hey Ames," he said in his deep voice, "We went ahead and packed what few things I had."
Amy gave a little grin and then a stern look. "You could have waited till after breakfast."

"I woke up early and went for a run. I figured I'd go ahead and get the van while I was out."
"Well you would have waited till I woke up. I was a little worried."
Shadow tried not to smirk. Why would she worry about him? After all, he was the ultimate life form, and he could take care of himself. But then again, he had never had to be concerned with consoling with other people before doing something.
"Sorry," was all that he said.

Cream, upon seeing Sonic, ran outside and cave Sonic a big hug. This slightly angered Shadow, being that he only received a bow. But then again, he didn't know Cream very well and is would have felt odd if she had greeted him any other way. So he released any feelings of anger.

"Hey Cream!" Sonic said to the rabbit.

"Come on in Mr. Sonic!" the little rabbit grabbed Sonic and Tails by the hand, dragging them both inside.

Sonic and Tails joined them for breakfast, obviously, if there's food, you can't keep Sonic out of it. Conversation was lively at the breakfast table. Most conversation revolved around Sonic, for Sonic was the one to start conversation. He is so vain. Shadow kept quite. As he ate he looked around the table. Vanilla kept smiling at Sonic, and avoided eye contact with Shadow. Amy seemed a upset that Sonic was there, but she tried to enter in conversation out of politeness. Cream didn't say much, but she smiled the whole time and listened to Sonic talk about how great he was. Tails seemed oblivious to Sonic's vanity, but that is why the two were friends. "Amy really use to like me," Sonic said with pride.

Amy's eye's widened, she turned at looked at Shadow, they both began to feel very uncomfortable.

"And you can't really blame her!" Sonic had a big smile on his blue face. "After all, I am quite the lady's man!"

Vanilla giggled and Cream forced a grin, for she could tell that this conversation would only lead to trouble. Amy was begging to feel extremely out of place and was squirming in her chair. At first Shadow felt great discomfort, but that discomfort turned to anger as the self-absorbed hedgehog kept talking.

"I'm really surprised that Amy was able to get over me so quickly!" Sonic kept talking

"I thought she would try a little harder to get me to like her!"

Shadow slid his for under his eggs.

"I am very like able."

Shadow formed his hand into a fist.

"What really caught me of guard was her falling for Shadow of all people!"

Shadow raised his fist over his head.

"At first I thought she was just trying to make me jealous. But some weird couples do exist!"

Shadow's fist went flying down upon the handle of the fork. His eggs went catapulting through the air and landed on Sonic's head.

"Shadow!" Sonic wasn't thrilled with the fact that he had egg's on his head.

"My bad," Shadow said with a grin. "Sorry about that faker."

Sonic developed a look of anger on his face as he picked egg out of his quills.

"Shadow!" of course Vanilla had to stand up for Sonic. "That was uncalled for!"

"It was an accident," Shadow's grin turned into a smile.

Cream and Amy exchanged a look then busted into laughter.

"Sonic!" Amy exclaimed. "You're an EGG HEAD!"

Shadow wasn't quite sure why Amy and Cream were laughing so hard at they're lame joke. But sending eggs flying through the air towards an unsuspecting hedgehog, filled him with great happiness. And with that, the meal was over.

At the end of the meal, they went to Amy's room to gather boxes and furniture. And to Shadow's horror, all the pink stuff was comin'. Shadow tried to confront Amy about all the 'pinkness', but decided to wait till they where alone. This way, if she got upset, it wouldn't make a scene. It wasn't long before the truck was packed, and it was time to say their good byes to Cream, Vanilla, and the pink room of doom! Sonic and Tails waved and climbed in the van, as Amy dragged Shadow with her to say their final good-byes to Vanilla.

"That Sonic boy is so nice, don't you think so Amy?" Vanilla questioned.

"Well sure," Amy was startled by Vanilla's remark, "Good bye Vanilla, I'll miss you."
Amy turned,then waved while walking to the van. Shadow was about to follow, but he stopped and turned to Vanilla.

"Goo-good bye," well he tried. Now how to deal with Amy?
