Only two days into the week and good things have happened to the lovely couple, first with Amy exposing Shadow's secret on TV and a video game tournament to follow. It may have been months before Halloween, but that didn't stop Amy from having a costume party. She liked the idea of dressing up whether the occasion called for it or not, problem is that she didn't know what dress up as. She heard that Cream was coming as a fairy princess, Rouge was a vampire, and Blaze was a queen. She paced back and forth in her room making a certain human hedgehog a little nervous.
Shadow: Rose, darling, will you please calm down?
Amy: How can I shadow I don't know what to dress up as! My friends took my first three ideas and I have nothing else.
She stood in the middle of the room pacing with her head down. Shadow could see that this was troubling his flower. He stood and walked over to her. She gasped as she felt his strong arms wrap her lower back and under her knees taking her off her feet. She looked up at Shadow seeing the smirk plastered on his face ever so gracefully as he walked to the bed. He sat down with her in his lap. He buried his head in the crook of her neck smelling her intoxicating vanilla fragrance, this made him fall back on to her bed earing him melodious giggles from her heavenly lips.
Amy: Shadow! What was that for?
Shadow: You were thinking too much and you need to stop worrying about this too much, I hate to see you stressed out.
Amy: I wouldn't be stressed out if I knew what to go as for my own party!
She rolled over on to his body with her hands covering her face. Shadow knew that his young love was hurting herself contemplating over this thoroughly, so thoroughly that he could practically hear her every thought emanating from her pretty pink head. Shadow looked around her room to see that she had several things from Greece. A small scale model of the Parthenon, several books on the culture of Greece and how to speak the language, and lastly a snow globe with the goddess Athena. This gave him the perfect idea.
Shadow: Rose?
She separated her fingers peering through her digits. She saw that he was smirking, but that smirk had an idea to go with it. He sat up having her sit in his lap now.
Shadow: I have an idea.
Amy: Really? What is it?
Shadow: I've noticed that you have a lot of souvenirs in your room from Greece. And that got me thinking, why don't you go as the goddess Persephone?
She gave him a quizzical look and then observed that the things he said were true. Her mood began to change from worrisome to over joyous. She tackled Shadow back down on to the sheets and kissed his whole face. He chuckled sending vibrations from his body to hers.
Amy: Thank you Shadow! Now I need to go change for the party!
She removed herself from his body and ran into the bathroom to shower. But she peeped her head through the crack of the door looking at who was still lying on his back.
Amy: Darling?
Not moving his ears shifted to the sound of her voice.
Shadow: Yes Rose?
Amy: I never got the chance to ask, what are you dressing up as?
He thought over about how he wanted to make her happy while also looking good for her at the party. Since she was going as Persephone he thought of the perfect person to portray. He sat up and stood from the bed taking his jacket off. He walked over to the bathroom door where she was standing, he put his arm on the thresh hold and crossed his legs, he inched his face closer towards her. She smelled cinnamon and mint on his breath; it was warm and inviting to her that she leaned in hoping to get a kiss.
Shadow: It'll be a secret my darling, and a surprise for you. Don't worry about us not matching because we will. Alright?
She pouted wanting more information than this to go on for the day, seeing her facial expression she turned her head away from his loving gaze and huffed. He raised his hand and traced his fingertips along her head and jaw line, he reached her chin and turned her head towards him.
Shadow: Please darling?
He pleaded with her and she considered his offer.
Amy: Fine. Only if you stay the night?
Now, this was one offer he couldn't refuse. He scoffed and leaned closer letting their foreheads touch. He kissed her cheek leaving her wanting more. He left her room going back to his house to change. She fully trusted him and his judgment and went on about her way of shower and making her costume. Three hours later the party started and Amy had her guests over and she still wasn't ready. The vampire Rouge was charming the warrior Knuckles while the fairy princess Cream talked with the techno sidekick Tails. Blaze leaned against the wall in her Black Panther costume with the clockwork Silver, and Mephlis…..as himself.
Mephlis: Im not much of a costume person.
He said to anybody who asked him why he wasn't wearing or dressing as anything. Sonic walked in the house dressed as Batman. Somewhat as a contradictory to what he normally wears all day and night, but hey he likes the lone hero just as much as corn dogs.
Sonic: Ok, I know that this is a stupid question but where's our host and her boy toy?
Rouge: I can't tell if that really was a stupid question or if you're really jealous about their relationship.
Sonic: If anything it's the first.
Shadow: It's always the first with you hero.
Shadow shocked everybody, Sonic more than others, with his arrival in a very unexpected costume. No doubt he was in regular clothes, like Mephlis, but he was like and evil god. He wore black jeans and a red shirt and his new leather jacket that had black fur line the collar. He kept his hover shoes on not wanting to change them. With dark accessories to match his outfit was complete.
Sonic: You look good, scary, but good.
Cream: What're you supposed to be?
Shadow: Im the god of death and souls, Hades.
Rouge: Fits your personality to a T.
He glared at her for that comment but let it slide knowing his darling wouldn't like it. Silence dawned on the room as everybody looked up the steps to their hostess in her stunning attire. Shadow turned to his direction to the top of the stairs as everybody else. He knew he would be stunned, but speechless? Words couldn't describe what he was looking at. She wore a mid-thigh length dress with a long scarf like belt to hang over her left leg giving the illusion that the dress was all in one. She wore gold shining shoes that gleamed whenever they were touched by the slightest light, and her hair was curled lightly with a white rose gracing her ear setting her attire to as lovely as the rest.
Amy: Well, don't all speak at once. How do I look?
Mephlis: I speak for us all when I say that you look like a goddess.
He said the right words. She smiled and looked towards her dark counterpart.
Amy: Shadow, how do I look?
Shadow still couldn't say anything about his girlfriend in her costume, his hands became clammy and his mind was fumbling with the right words to say. But, he turned his head and ran his left hand throught his black and red streaked locks.
Shadow: Y-you look…..absolutely gorgeous R-rose….
Rouge: This is the first time for everybody to hear Shadow stutter.
He glared at her. Amy walked down the stairs and stood in front of Shadow. He looked down at her knowing that his surprise for her was greatly appreciated.
Amy: So, Persephone and Hades huh?
Shadow: They both love each other, but not as much as we do.
Sonic walked up to them and threw his arms around the couple's shoulders.
Sonic: Well, we all know that Shadow will be staying the night, so while we're still here let's PARTY!
And with that everybody danced and ate snacks till it was time for them to leave. Shadow stayed the night like he promised. After everybody left he found his pink love sleeping on the couch. He kissed her forehead making her smile in her sleep. He chuckled and went back to cleaning up the rest of the room.
Amy: Thank you Shadow…..
She said as she shifted on the couch. 'This is the bet night that I could ever have,' he thought as he watched her sleep.
Me: Doesn't anybody like my costume?!
Amy: Y-yeah we love it...
Shadow: WTF is it?
Amy: Shadow!
Me: I'm Chloe from Touch Detective!
Both:...
