The Invite…

Amy leaned against the backdoor and glared intensely at Sonic's back garden, as if she could watch the purple flower petals that bloomed in his backyard grow inch by inch. She had on a grey silk robe, Cosmo gave it to her to wear until she fixed her dress.

She watched the morning dew fall of the rose petals. Dew, always looked pretty, it seemed to be frozen in time almost.

Two hands crept around her and she shrieked.

A familiar voice said. "I scared ya?"

Amy laughed a little, it was only Sonic. She giggled as he closed their distance between them, and gave her a peck on the cheek.

He whispered seductively, "How about we go upstairs?"

The Lady shook her head. "Not until we're married Sonic --you know the rule."

She managed to slip out of his grasp and he frowned at this. "I'm sorry," he said. "It's just that you look so pretty with that robe and…"

"Is Cosmo finished with my dress yet?" Amy turned to him form the doorway.

Sonic's eyebrows raised and he scratched the back of his head. "Yeah…about that, Cosmo said she won't be finish until next week."

"Next week?!"

"You have to see the dress Amy…it got ruined from the rain."

Amy rolled her eyes. "I wonder whose fault that is."

He arched his eyebrow. "Why are you looking at me like that?!"

Amy glared at him, she couldn't believe he was being this naïve!

"You should know!" Amy boomed. "You're the reason why it got wet. Dancing in the rain like an idiot! Because you don't know when to stop drinking wine!"

"Hey it's not my fault." Sonic said defensively. "I don't touch Mobian wine --it touches me. We were meant to be together."

Amy looked away from him and mumbled something under her breath. Sonic caught it and smirked as he turned her around by the shoulders. Before she could protest he smacked his lips against hers. She fought at first but then gave in and let out a moan as Sonic released her.

He smiled sweetly at her. "Just like you and I are meant to be together."

Amy blushed and he smirked. He knew she couldn't stay mad at him for long.

Cosmo appeared from the hallway.

"Ms. Rose I have other clothes you can wear, until I fix your dress."

Amy looked back at Sonic and they stared at each other for awhile he said sweet words to her as she left him and followed Cosmo.

They walked into a room that might've been Sonic's closet. There were clothes littered everywhere and onto of a seat lay an old dress. Cosmo bowed her head as she showed it to Amy.

"I'm sorry Miss, that's all I could find."

"That's okay."

The Lady took the dress into a changing room and soon she came out ready to go home. Cosmo cleared her throat and giggled.

"You guys look so cute together. I saw when you and Sonic kissed."

Amy smiled at her.

"When are you guys planning to get married."

"In several months."

Cosmo beamed. "That's wonderful Amy! I hope you guys have a nice wedding."

Amy was packed up and ready to leave. "See you Cosmo!"

She was heading out the door until she was stopped by her fiancé. Amy was confused.

"Did I forget something?"

Sonic stood before her with his arms crossed. "You wasn't going to ask me to give you a lift."

"I can just get a taxi." Amy pointed out.

"Taxi's are slow. I'm the fastest. You should already know."

"Sonic-- aah!"

He pulled her up bridal style and zoomed across town. Amy gasped and held on for dear life. "Wait Sonic, slow down!"

Amy came back to her home and waved good-ye to Sonic and all she saw was a blue wind pass, then he vanished. She walked to the lake quickly too see how the chaos emerald was doing. The lake's reflection dulled today, maybe it missed its owner from last night and had longed for it.

Amy called for the blue chaos emerald from the bottom pit of the lake and soon it appeared in her hands. She smiled knowing the emerald wasn't stolen, but then she suddenly frowned, the emerald seemed weak.

The bright, blue brilliance it use to shine out was as dull as the lake. Amy couldn't figure out why.

She walked inside her home with the emerald in her hand and gasped when she saw the red box wrapped in velvet.

XxX

"Come on open it!"

Cream grew impatient.

Both of the girls giggled and grew jumpy from excitement when Amy told of the box that was in her home. Amy carefully opened the lid and they girls both screamed.

Cream said, "It's a…."

Amy lifted the item up and stared at awe over the rouge dress that was sent to her.

Cream smiled. "It's beautiful Amy! Who sent it to you?" The rabbit reached for the piece of paper that was in the box.

Amy watched her as she inspected the dress up and down. "I had to be from Sonic."

Cream eyes dilated as she read the letter that was written in cursive. "…Prince...Shadow?"

The Lady gasped. "Prince Shadow sent this!" She yanked the letter from Cream's grasp and it read. "Dear Amy Rose, as the court messenger of Dark Hollow, I'm proud to inform you that you've been invited to have a dinner with Prince Shadow this evening. A carriage will come over to pick you up this evening. Make sure you wear the dress that's been sent to you."

Cream's mouth dropped. "So it's true! Prince Shadow sent you this dress!"

Amy lifted it up. It was a red dress that was strapless and stopped short at the bottom. Amy frowned at this.

"That dress is pretty!" Cream complimented.

"It's too short!"

"Are you going to go?" the rabbit asked.

My placed the dress down and sighed. "Yeah, Prince Shadow he's just so….." She looked up dreamily. "No words can describe him."

Her friend looked at her wickedly. "If I didn't know better….I thought you would like him." She pointed a finger at her. "Ooooh! I'm telling Sonic!"

Amy playfully rolled her eyes. "Go ahead then."

Both the females laughed and Amy folded the dress back and placed it back in the box. "Shadow is so kind, and so mysterious. I wish I knew more about him."

"I wonder what Dark Hollow looks like." Cream said. "I heard it's over by the badlands."

"I have to cross the badlands," the lady panicked. "I heard that it was in a volcano. Did you know that he can control fire and he has the red chaos emerald!"

Cream gasped. "Really?"

Amy nodded. "He also said, that he will help me with my powers."

The prince of Dark Hollow stood in the mirror checking his reflection. He had on a black suit which was of course for the dinner he was to have later on. He had his quills clipped, his canines sharpened, and his fur polished. He looked like the perfect male physique.

With one more check in the mirror he left the palace and found himself outside. He heard a fit of laughter and turned to see a crowd of girls looking at him from head to toe. He passed through them quietly and a voice from the crowd said.

"Good morning Prince Shadow."

"Morning," he replied back.

As he walked he could hear the girls laugh and whisper in excitement over him, he smirked at that.

Shadow stopped before a one story house that was a few miles from his palace he knocked on the door. A older voice said. "Coming…"

The door opened to reveal an ivory bat that raised her eyebrows at Shadow's appearance.

"My, my don't we look sharp." she raised her eyebrow. "What's the occasion."

"I'm having dinner with this girl from Soleanna, and I want to impress her. I thought that I could receive some help from you."

Rouge moved aside. "Well come on in."

He went inside and she closed the door. "Well you certainly have come to the right place."

Shadow looked around Rouge's home. Much hasn't changed since he's last been here. He saw the vials and vials of potions and remedies that stood on shelves collecting dust. Her house was oddly decorated, it was smothered with curtains full of different colors, her wall was painted blue with golden stars painted across them.

"You really need to redoecrate," Shadow said.

Rouge walked over to him. "As you may know Shadow my services aren't free."

Rouge calmly raised her hand up and Shadow smirked.

"Don't worry," the prince said. "The devil always breaks bread."

He pulled out two gold bars and handed it to her. She smiled in statsfaction and placed them in her pocket. "That will cover the payment just fine. Now what do you want?"

"I need a potion…that would make this girl love everything I do. I'm scraed that she might not like what she sees."

Rouge smirked devishly a him. "My Shadow, I never knew you were that kind of hedgehog."

She walked over to a shelf and picked up a red vial that had a heart painted on it.

Shadow glanced at it. "What is that?"

Rouge smiled. "Put a drop of it in her drink and you'll see."

Amy put on the dress Shadow had for her it was lamost evening and Cream had to leave since she had a curfew. Amy twirled in the mirror nad giggled, but then she caught herself and blushed. Here she was dancing in the mirror in a short, little dress.

It was lamost like a Cinderella tale.

For the first time ever the dres actually felt comfortable to Amy, that khanji dress she had was beautiful but it tugged on her stomach. She felt like she could do back-flips in the dress Shadow sent her.

She had on diamond earrings and ruby make-up to match the dress.

There was a knock on the door and Amy smiled.
