Chapter 6

That night was a little hectic for both Amy and Shadow. Amy was constantly hassled by her parents and oddly enough Sonic and Sally. She didn't know why those two were bothering her but she couldn't care less. Espio stayed over with Amy ever since her father decided to drop by unannounced.

Shadow however, was doing worse than that. He was destroying almost everything in his house. The only thing that stayed untouched was two pictures and his bedroom; the pictures consisted of his step sister, Maria, and another of Amy from the eighth grade. Right now he was cooling down in a wooden chair...tied is he tied up? Silver and Scourge came over to take(drag by force) Shadow to the beach like they planned before.

Shadow: Untie me or you'll be dead.

Silver: Your not scary Shadow.

Scourge: To you maybe,right now I'm terrified.

Scourge and Silver were busy cleaning up the mess that Shadow had made since he left school that day. Silver ventured further into the house. He picked up scattered debris as he walked into his room. He peeked his head into the door and saw that the room was completely void of any kind of destruction whatsoever. He saw that the only thing besides the bed and the sheets were two pictures on the night stand. He walked in the dimly lit room and sat on the bed. He picked up both the pictures and saw the person they portrayed. On was a wrinkled picture with muted color of a girl with blonde hair and a blue dress. She held in her arms a boy who looked only to be a year old. He had what seemed to be tan skin and black hair with red streaks. It was Shadow as a child. The other picture was of Amy. Shockingly, this was a picture from the time they were in the eighth grade. She was wearing her school uniform and her hair was at her shoulders. Silver could see why he kept this picture, it was because of Amy's eyes; they were practically shining brighter even in the picture.

Shadow: Put those down.

Silver turn to see Shadow had escaped from the chair and over powered Scourge. Silver put them down where they previously were and stood.

Silver: I apologize for entering your room without permission and for also touching your stuff as well.

Shadow: I don't care, just get out of my room so I can change into my swim shorts.

Silver: Swim shorts?

Shadow: I thought you guys came here to take me to the beach like we planned?

Silver: Y-yeah but I thought you'd resist because you know that...

His sentence trailed off. Shadow knew who was referring to and didn't care whether he said the name or not.

Shadow: I don't care if Rose's gonna be there or not.

Silver: But you're in love with her, don't you think you'll have some problems not talking to the girl you love?

Shadow pondered this thought. Of course he'd have a problem with it! But, he also has to learn how to cope with it as well.

Shadow: It won't matter to me, as long as her happiness is contained and I am not apart of it.

Shadow walked into the room and rummaged through his drawers and pulled out black and red swim trunks. He stuffed them in a bag that he grabbed from under his bed.

Shadow: I'll take my motorcycle over.

Silver: Alright then. What did you do to Scourge?

Shadow smirked evil at the thought of what he did to his now favorite twin. He motioned for him to follow back into the living room where he was before bounded to the chair. Silver was stunned at what Shadow could and did to Scourge. Scourge was gagged with his own swim trunks leaving his lower half exposed. His wrists were tied to his ankles that were also tied to the back arms of the chair, spreading his legs apart, uncomfortably. Silver started laughing at the perdicament that he saw his friend in. Scourge grumbled angrily under his breath into his swimming shorts with a huge blush weighing itself on his cheeks. All four of them.

Silver: This room being destroyed? $85. Shadow's ripped gym shorts? $44.

Silver took out his camera phone and started taking pictures of doppleganger in a sexy but funny pose.

Silver: Taking these pictures and showing it to the rest of your family and our friends? PRICELESS! Hahahahahahahahaha!

Silver broke down laughing and hit the floor. Shadow thought that that was a little much and that he should've thought of taking pictures first. He walked over to Scourge and effortlessly ripped the ropes that he used to tie him with. His legs fell down on the carpet floor with a thud, his arms wrapped the back of the chair. he pulled his slightly damp shorts from his mouth and glared angrily at Shadow peering over his sunglasses.

Scourge: So not cool bro.

Shadow: Then next time you don't poke my nose with a broom. I have a bad allergic reaction to dust.

Shadow walked away from the two and grabbed the keys to his bike from the small coffee table sitting next to the front door. He left his own house leaving those two to lock up. His red kawasaki motorcycle was parked right outside of the house. He pressed a button on the key chain he had taking the alarm off of the bike. He hopped on knowingly without protection for his head, typical for him. Twenty minutes later he arrived at the beach. He parked his bike next to Rouge's motorcycle that was the same name but in lavender with pink hearts. 'I hate that bike...'Shadow thought angrily eyeing said monstrosity.

Rouge: Hello dark shadows.

He turned in the opposite direction to see the owner herself of the girly motorized vehicle. She was standing in front of him wearing a much too much revealing bikini. It was black and pink with floral designs. Shadow had to admitt that it was a very sexy outfit, but it was on the wrong person.

Shadow: Hey Rouge.

Rouge: I thought you'd be home sulking?

Shadow: I did, and was. But, some people, who shall remain nameless for now, thought that they could tie me to a chair and clean my house also trying to force me to go to the beach today.

Rouge: Oh?

'I knew that wouldn't work, next time Knuckles listen to me.' Rouge thought inwardly to herself on the grabbing plan gone wrong. Shadow dismounted from his better looking bike and turned the alarm on.

Shadow: Where's Knuckles at?

Rouge: He's over with Tails and Sonic having a water gun fight.

Shadow: Sonic? Why the hell is he here?

Rouge shrugged her shoulders answering his question. And as if on que, Sonic came running up the beach with a water gun in his hand laughing. Sonic stopped to see Rouge talking to Shadow.

Sonic: Hey Shadow!

Shadow didn't respond to his greeting. Sonic walked up to the two. Neither of them were happy about the other being there today. Sonic was now gonna fake his way on to Shadow's good side.

Sonic: C'mon now Shadow, why can't we go back to the way we used to be?

He gave his best cocky smile that was egging him on. Shadow growled lowly knowing that not only did he hear it but Knuckles and Tails who were walking up the beach heard it too. Shadow stepped closer to him but Rouge settled her hand on his chest trying to stop him from doing something stupid.

Shadow: If I were you than I wouldn't push my luck. You don't know how much I want to destroy you now.

Sonic seeing the rage build inside Shadow and slowly seeping out, stepped closer with a smiling deviousness that only made Shadow more infuriated.

Sonic: Unlike you, I protected Amy from something- specifically someone -from distracting her from what she really wants.

Shadow: And you think that you're what she wants?

Sonic: She's been in love with me since we were toddlers, I've got you beat. But not as beat as your cock in the shower room.

Shadow has had enough of this. But before he could lung at Sonic and wrap his burly hands around his scrawny neck he heard a motorbike coming up the road. They all looked back to see two people on a Kawasaki motorcycle. Everybody else couldn't tell who they were seeing as though their faces were concealed by the matching biker helmets. Except for Shadow that is. He knew, almost instantaneously who one of the said people were. The person that sat behind the driver had worn denim shorts and black flip-flops with a red flower perched stop her the straps. He knew that this unknown female to his friends was none other than Amy. He could tell by her subtle peach skin from just one look at her legs. The driver took off his helmet and looked at the young teenagers staring at him and Amy.

Espio: Hi there. I take it the you all are some of Amy's friends?

Several of them nodded. Shadow continued to stare at Amy who refused to take her helmet off knowing that he was gazing harshly at her. Espio noticed the staring emanating strongly from Shadow.

Espio: Your Shadow aren't you?

He asked pointing directly at him. Shadow stood shocked for a minute and then nodded.

Espio: I take it that you're the guy who is a little friendly with himself last week weren't you?

He had sort of smirking anger towards him. It wasn't to make him feel angry enough to retaliate but to show that he needs to stay away from Amy for a while before he can patch things up with here. Espio looked back to see that Amy wouldn't take off the helmet and that she wouldn't let go of him.

Espio: C'mon now sis, take the helmet off.

She looked up at him with the helmet still on making it seem like she was giving him puppy-dog eyes. It didn't work on him. She regretfully took the helmet off and showed everybody-except Shadow-her other side.

Sonic: OH MY GOSH IT'S PINK LUNAR!
