Hey well, just finished getting all patched up fro amys beating! please review!

Chapter 2: We get to live here?

We drove for about 30 minutes, before Shadow skidded the motorcycle to a stop in front a large gated house. We were each handed a key with a room number. As we entered the house, the commander laid down 3 rules.

Do NOT destroy the house, 2. Ladies sleep on the top floor, idiots sleep on the ground floor, and 3. If we ever decide to host a party, absolutely NO alcohol allowed. Each of us was handed a communicators, and we had a cell phone in our room. Right after he left, we all bolted for the stairs or the hallway. I had room #8. It was my two favorite colors. The wall was pitch black with a pattern of pink swirling vines.

The bed was a large black canopy bed, with pink pillows, and a pale pink carpet. I looked out the large window, which looked out on the backyard. The backyard had a huge grassy area, a giant pool with slides and diving boards. There was a Jacuzzi, and a swing set, most likely for Cream. There was also a pretty red-brown deck with a huge table and a grill. That when I noticed that right under my windowsill, the roof flattened out some, making a perfect sitting place. I was startled by a loud sound, causing me to jump and give off a little shriek. As I went to go investigate, I heard the sound more clearly, my favorite song "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkhog.

*What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

What doesn't kill you *

I continued my search and eventually found the sound emitting from a black cell phone lying on the desk. The screen read: message received from: Shadow. O I forgot to mention that ever since the ark incident, I and Shadow had become best friends. I opened it and read

Hey Rose, sweet rooms, huh?

We also had really annoying nicknames for each other.

I responded: Yeah mines pink and black all around! Yeah! Do u like ur room Shadz?

Don't make me go up there!

As if! U r such a chicken!

I know where you live…

Yeah, well, you know what?

No, What? ^o^

Grrr…I know where you live too!

Soo… ur stalking me now huh? Besides, if you wanted to know where I lived, you could've just asked! XP

I hate you! XP

Love you too Rose!

…Last one to the living room is a rotten egg!

Eww….why rotten?

Don't be such a smartass, or I might just have to cut u down to size Mr. 4'3"!

Look who's talking little miss 4'1"!

On your marks, get set, GO!

I tore out my door and into the first hallway I saw… which turned out to be the wrong hallway. I tried the next one, and I almost face planted on the floor when I turned a corner and almost hit a couch. I sat down about half a second before Shadow sped into the living room. When he saw me, he yelled "NNNOOOOO!" as dramatically as he could, and pretended to fall to the ground, dead. I started nudging him with my toe when he suddenly jumped up, grabbed me, and pinned me down, and started tickling me.

"AAHHHH! HAHAH SH-SHADOW! PL-PLEASE ST-STOP TICKLING M-ME! PLEASE! I-I'LL DO ANY-AN-ANYTHING!"

He was about to respond when a loud voice yelled "time for dinner you ungrateful squirts!" "Stupid Knuckles…" I muttered under my breath. Shadow laughed and ruffled my hair. "Aahhh, Shadoooww…. "I whined. He suddenly picked me up and we skated to the kitchen. Dinner went surprisingly well. That night, before I fell asleep, my phone vibrated.

Goodnight Rose. C U in the morning.

Goodnite Shadz! C U tomorrow!

And with that, I fell asleep dreaming about love, affection, and the one guy I couldn't have.
