Chapter Four: Love

"This was fun Shadow." Amy said as the two of them were walking down the sidewalk.

Shadow had Amy's empty picnic basket. It was nearly twilight, and they were just taking their time on walking towards Amy's villa. They most walked the rest of the way in silence. She then began to think of a way to keep up the conversation.

"So, Shadow..." Amy began as she looked a little to left of her towards the sun.

"How have you been the last couple of days?" Amy asked casually.

"I've been keep to myself." Shadow said plainly as he continued to walk.

"That's great." Amy said lightly, and then continued to stair ahead.

The silence came again.

'I did not think that one through.' Amy thought as she began to think of other ways to have a conversation with him.

"Um, how have you and Rouge's friendship been?" Amy asked.

The questions made Shadow glance at her. She wouldn't normally ask this sort of question unless jealous. Which would make no sense because they weren't together. Shadow smirked, and then let out a quiet giggle.

"Why do you ask?" He questioned normally.

"Oh, I'm just curious." Amy explained with a warm smile.

'That was probably the most stupidest question you have ever asked.' Amy thoughts began to get mad at her.

Amy sighed, and looked at Shadow who kept a straight face.

"Are you jealous?" Shadow's dark cool voice asked slyly.

Amy's eyes widened, and then she giggled uncontrolably.

"No it's not like that, I only wanted to know if you, and her have been okay." Amy said as she tried to explain, but her words were deaf to him.

"I'm not jealous." Amy said sternly but kept her smile.

Shadow only held his smirk, and then replied.

"Sure." He said.

"What? You don't believe?" Amy questioned.

"Yes, I don't believe you." Shadow said as he continued to smirk.

"Well, you should." Amy said as she poked his nose, and then began to walk on.

Shadow stared after her as she began to walk away.

'That was a stupid question, but at least it somehow broke the ice.' Amy thought as she began to blush.

After awhile of staring after Amy. Shadow finally came back to reality, and then began to follow her once again.

Not much was said as the both of them neared Amy's villa. Sighing Amy grabbed her picnic basket.

"This was fun." Amy said once again.

"Yea," Shadow said back.

Amy then sighed, and then turned to inside.

"Rose?" Shadow uttered.

"Hm?" Amy said as she turned around.

Shadow leaned in, and then lightly pecked her lips. Amy only remained still for a moment before she was able process what he was doing.

'My first kiss.' Was all Amy thought as Shadow gently broke the kiss.

"I didn't get to do that, because of the squirrel, so that's just continuing the moment." Shadow explained before he backed away, and left.

Amy only stood there for a moment, and then smiled slightly.

"I love you too, Shadow." Amy said lightly and then turned to go inside.

Okay, probably the last ShadAmy moment you'll ever see before Amy meets Mephiles, So live it up.

Secondly it's short because it's just an aftermath of the date they had.
