Hello again! Now I received an anonymous review (no surprise -.-) from someone named TwilightTheWolf. Well, I have something to say to you.

This shows that you haven't read any of my authors note that I put at the top or bottom of my chapters. I know that the first chapter sounds almost exactly like cuteipie9500's story, but I apologized to her and in pm, we discussed the problem and worked it out. Now if you READ THE REST OF MY STORY, you'll see that it's nothing like cutiepie9500's and its completely different. Do I have a evil ex girlfriend trying to win shadow back? No. Do I have Sonic and Shadow competing for Amy's affection? Yes. Do I have Shadow's ex fake that she's pregnant causing Amy and Shadow to break up? No. Do I have Knuckles throw a huge party? No. Do I have Shadow and Amy be all lovey dovey with each other 24/7? Yes.

So before you go saying that I stole someone's story, read the entire thing first! You can report me but I haven't committed any crimes. I know the first chapter was and I gave the cutiepie9500 the option of letting me keep my story or delete, but unlike some of you readers out there, she was very kind and forgiving and let me keep my story, with the agreement that wouldn't be anything like hers, WHICH IT ISN'T. So what I'm saying now is read my bloody story first then talk. It's anonymous reviewers like you that piss me off. If you have something to say, PM it to me and not respond in an anonymous review like a wimp -.-* also, your review WILL be deleted so take a very good look at it now before it's gone. It isn't complete bs though, I'll admit that I got a chuckle out of reading your review. Why don't you talk to cutiepie9500 and see what she thinks then return to me? She knows as well that after chapter 1, our stories aren't identical. Different job, different setting, different people. My story doesn't include Shadow's sisters, Rusty, Fiona etc. So don't even think of reviewing like that again. Everyone knows I don't accept flames and as you can see, your review didn't phase me. I've wasted enough time and words on you so from hear on out, have a nice day :) *sarcasm*

Well, I hope they read that review and reconsider what they did. I wasted too many words writing that. That person wasn't very smart. On a lighter note, this chapter will leave you wanting to kill me in the end but it's worth it! Ahh, you'll understand what I mean.

Anyways, on to AIL! ;)

*Amy's POV*

Ugh my head. What did Rouge and I even do last night? The only thing I could remember was when we came home, we watched movies and pigged out on all the junk that we bought from the gas station. We did more than that though and I'm guessing that it was a crazy night.

Flashback

"Let's get this party started!" Rouge shouted as she entered the building. I chuckled as I entered in after her. We rode the elevator to my floor and entered my apartment. Rouge set all the food down on the table.

"I'm going to go change. Be right back Pinks." She grabbed her pajamas and closed the guest room door behind her. I took off my shoes and sat down on the couch. My feet ached after all the walking I've done today. A few minutes later, Rouge emerged from the room and walked over to her purse. She pulled out a few movies for us to watch.

"What movies did you bring?" I asked.

She grinned. "I brought No Strings Attached, The Vow, The Hangover and Grown Ups. Which one do you want to watch?"

I thought about it for a moment. "Let's watch The Hangover. I wanna laugh until my stomach hurts." I grinned.

Rouge chuckled. "Alright." She put in the movie and we began to watch it with our snacks. We managed to get through two movies, the other one being Grown Ups, with us finishing our snacks then ended up falling asleep, at least that's what I could remember.

End of Flashback

Rouge woke up from her place on the couch and looked down at me. "Why are you sleeping on the floor?"

I sat up and rubbed my temples. "I don't know how I ended up down here. What did we even do last night?"

"You don't remember," Rouge asked. "We watched movies, ate snacks, then we started making prank calls to Shadow and Knuckles and other random people and they actually bought it, threw eggs out the window and watch it hit different people, played dress up with the clothes in your closet, and had a pillow fight with all the pillows in the house and I guess that's how we ended up here."

"Wow, last night was hectic." I was going to say more, but then we heard a sound coming from my bedroom.

Rouge and I stared at each other. "Wait here." She ran to the kitchen and got a frying pan. "I'll go in there and check. Keep the phone on you in case we need to call the police." I nodded. She held the frying pan up like a baseball bat and proceeded to my bedroom. From where I was sitting, all I heard was a door open and someone getting hit. I ran over to find that Rouge has clocked Shadow in the head with the frying pan and he was most likely unconscious.

"Oh my god! Rouge! Shadow!" I ran over to his side and touched his face. Yep, I was right. He was unconscious.

Rouge held up her hand. "In my defense, he tried to sneak on me first. Self defense Pinks."

I rolled my eyes. "Let's just lay him on the couch for now."

"And how do you expect us to do that? Do you know how heavy he is?!" She exclaimed.

"Alright, I'll grab his arms and you grab his legs."She nodded and we somehow managed to pick up Shadow and throw him onto the couch. He still hadn't awakened.

"So what do we do now? He's still knocked out like a light." Rouge said.

"I don't know, but we should probably stay with him until he wakes up. How hard did you hit him?" I asked.

She smirked. "It had just the same amount of force as my screw kick."

I groaned. "He's not waking up for a couple of hours. I'm still wondering, why and how did he sneak into my apartment?"

Rouge shrugged. "He's a security guard. They probably taught him how to pick locks at his job."

I nodded. "Yeah, that's pretty reasonable. Oh, do you want to go car shopping with me tomorrow?"

She smiled. "You're going to buy a car? Where did you get the money?!"

I grinned. "Vector gave Charmy, Espio and I $25,000." her jaw dropped. "Each."

She screamed. "Do you know how much that is?! Oh my god, you buy two matching houses to go with it!"

I laughed. "I'm going to go house shopping soon though, and Espio is tagging along with us since he's buying a new one too."

She squealed and hugged me tight. "I'm so happy for you Pinks. You really deserve this. First, a check for $25,000, then an amazing boyfriend. What will you get next, a free trip to the moon?!" She laughed.

I chuckled and hugged her back. "I don't know, I guess I'm loved and I'm loving everything I have so far."

"Are you going to tell Shadow about the check?" She asked.

"I guess I have to. I wanted to tell him about it too, but I always seem to forget." I looked down at my watch. "And speaking of that check, I have to go to work. Is Knuckles busy, because I need a ride."

Rouge shook her head. "I'll text him now and let him know. In the meantime, I'll look after Shadow while you're gone."

I nodded. "Alright. I'm just going to change into my uniform." Rouge nodded and I grabbed my uniform from the love seat and went into my room. I reemerged a few minutes later in my uniform and my quills in a high ponytail. I had to brush it out because they're were bits of popcorn in it.

"Knuckles said he'll be downstairs in a few so you should probably wait there." Rouge told me.

I nodded and walked over and gave Rouge a hug, and Shadow a kiss even though he was unconscious.

"Bye R. I'll be back by 9." I called out.

"See you later Pinks!" She yelled back and I shut the door. The wait for the elevator wasn't long and in a couple of minutes, I was downstairs and walking over to Knuckles' car.

"Hey Knux." I said as I sat in the passenger seat.

He gave me a side hug. "Sup Pinky."

I smiled and returned it. "Were you busy?"

He shook his head. "Nah, I was just headed to work right now anyways." Knuckles worked as a security guard as well, except for this huge oil company downtown, and since he was buff and fit, they hired him the second they saw him. It was quite funny to hear that actually. We chatted through the car ride about our relationships and jobs until we made it to the restaurant.

I got out of the car and waved at Knuckles. "Bye Knux!" I shouted.

He smirked and saluted. "Later Pinky!" He yelled as he drove off. I walked into the place to find Espio in the back making the food and Charmy taking orders. He was about to go to another table until he saw me.

"AMMMYYYY!" He screamed very loudly and flew over to me. I chuckled as he gave me a hug, which I returned of course. Although, I could already feel a headache quickly approaching.

"This is going to be a long day.." I thought and sighed.

*Shadow's POV*

Ugh, my head. What happened to me? The last thing I remember was Rouge hitting me with something and everything else was a blur.

"Shadow, Shadow," a voice softly sang to me, until a hand slapped me in the face. "WAKE UP!" She screeched.

I sat up and rubbed my sore face. "Ow!" I yelled at the white bat. She rolled her blue eyes.

"Rise and shine. You were out for a good 5 hours." She said. I looked at the clock and saw that it said 1:00 pm. Wow, it has been that long. "So what were you thinking sneaking into Amy's house like that?"

I exhaled. "I broke in since nobody answered the door and I was worried something happened to you guys."

She raised an eyebrow. "Did you ever think that were sleeping?" She asked kindly.

"Yeah, but Amy isn't usually asleep until 9 and I know that she had work too so I wanted to drop by before she left." I replied.

"Okay, tell me everything. From start to finish." She told me. I nodded and began.

Flashback

I was ready to leave around 9 and my boss called me at the last second told me that someone else needed to take my shift so I had the day off, but I would still get my day's worth of payment.

"Wow. He tells me this right when I'm about to leave." I mumbled to myself. I took off my uniform and put on a red v-neck shirt and grey jeans.

"Perhaps I could pay Rose a visit before she leaves for work." I smirked to myself and left my place. I got in my car and drove off to Rose's apartment. She didn't live too far away, which was a good thing. I parked my car in the front of the building and went inside. I rode the elevator to Rose's floor, the fourth floor, and walked over to her apartment.

I knocked the door multiple times, but there wasn't an answer. "Weird. She's awake at this time. Her job starts soon." I said to myself. I got an idea and smirked as I pulled out a paper clip from my pocket, being the only pointy thing in there. "I can pick a lock with anything. Gotta love being a security guard." I said and picked her lock.

After a few seconds, I unlocked her door and walked in. The entire room was covered with feathers, popcorn, chips and other candies. I went straight to her room and guest room and saw that they were both empty. I started to hear voices in the living room.

"How come I didn't see them there before?" I asked. I was about to leave Amy's room until I bumped my foot against the wall. It didn't hurt, but it made a loud noise. I was about to leave the room a few moments later until I heard someone open the door. When I turned around, I saw Rouge and a frying pan make contact with my skull, which was the last thing I saw until I blacked out.

End of Flashback

"Wow, I'm so sorry." She said as we left Rose's apartment. I was going to give Rouge a ride home then head back to my place. "I didn't mean to hit you with a frying pan. It was just instinct and I got scared when I heard the sound." She locked the door behind her, I'm guessing with her own spare key, and we began to walk.

We stood in front of the elevators, waiting for one to show up. "It's alright Rouge. I probably would've done the same thing, you know, just not with a frying pan." I smirked. She chuckled and gave me a hug, wrapping her arms around me as I did the same. We stayed like this for a moment and broke apart. The elevator came and we both got inside and left.

"We should visit Pinks at work later on." Rouge told me when we got off the elevator.

I nodded. "I agree. It would be a nice surprise for Rose to see us." She grinned as we both got into my car and I drove off.

*Sonic's POV*

I'm actually glad Amy decided to be friends with me. Although, I already had a plan to win Amy back. I was just waiting for the perfect time to unleash it. I was waiting in front of the elevators on Amy's floor. I already know that she went to work a few hours ago and I'm guessing that leaves Rouge, if she stayed over and most likely she did, and Shadow. I also know that Shadow came to visit Amy around 9 this morning. I know what you're thinking and no, I'm not a stalker. I just happened to be around earlier and saw these things.

I heard a familiar click of heels so I rushed over and hid behind the wall. I peeked over to see Shadow and Rouge standing there, waiting for an elevator and the two were talking about something I could care less about. What caught my eye though was when they hugged. I pulled out my phone and quickly took a picture, without flash.

"Thank god I got a phone with a silent camera." I thought and grinned. When the two went into the elevator and it closed, I reemerged. I stared at the picture I just took and smirked.

"This is way better than what I came up with." Satisfied, I took the elevator and left the building. I ran over to my house and began to work on my plan to win back my Ames' heart again.

*Amy's POV*

It was finally 8 pm and believe me when I say that I couldn't be more happier. The day was filled with yelling, laughter and crying (although it was just Vector), but I was completely drained. I was headed over to my final customer. I was shocked when he put his menu down to reveal Sonic.

"Hey Ames. I thought you get off work earlier. It's pretty late." He said.

"I wish I could. My boss makes all of us stay late so he can make more money." I said with a playful eye roll.

He chuckled. "Well, you look tired. Want me to buy you a coffee and muffin? My treat."

"Aww, that's so sweet of you Sonikku, and I'd love that." I smiled as he smiled back.

"I'll be right back with our things." He nodded and I left. I came back 5 minutes later with our orders and I sat down.

"So," I began to eat my muffin, "What's new with you Sonic?"

He sipped his coffee. "Nothing much. I just stopped by your apartment earlier and saw that you weren't there."

"I know. I left around 10 because I had to go to work, but Shadow and Rouge were there when I left." I replied.

"Mhmm. Speaking of Shadow and Rouge, I have to tell you something."

I looked at him suspeciously. "Yes Sonikku?"

He scratched the back of his neck. "Shadow and Rouge. They sort of... Well.."

I raised an eyebrow. "They sort of what?"

He sighed. "I didn't want to tell you this, but today when I was leaving your apartment after I couldn't find you, I saw Shadow and Rouge and they... kissed."

I spat out my coffee, thankfully away from Sonic. "What?" I let out. "No... No, that's not true. Please tell me you're lying."

"I'm sorry Ames, but it's true. I even took this picture because I thought you wouldn't believe me." He brought it out of his pocket and showed me the picture. It showed Shadow and Rouge in front of the elevator and they were kissing. She had her arms wrapped around his upper body as he held her waist. My heart felt like it just broke into a million pieces.

"I'm sorry Amy, but I knew that I had to tell you. I couldn't keep something like this from you and I know that Shadow nor Rouge would tell you because of how close you are." He replied sympathically. He pulled his chair over next to me and rubbed my shoulder.

I sighed. "No, I'm glad you told me. You care about me Sonic and I'm glad we became friends. I can't believe this. I can't believe they would do this to me." I didn't realize that I was crying until Sonic wiped my tears away with his thumb. I looked up at him and instantly began to sob into his chest. I held onto him and sobbed as he rubbed my back. I was so upset, angry and hurt all at once. One thing was for sure, is that I never want to see Rouge nor Shadow again. I was shouting random things, but it was muffled by him holding me.

"What did you do to my girl?!" A voice shouted from behind us. We both turned to see an angry Shadow standing behind us.

We both stood as I wiped my tears. "Shadow, you've caused enough pain." He looked confused, but he ignored the cobalt hedgehog and was about to hug me. Before he could, I gave him a hard slap to the face.

"YOU CHEATER! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! I HATE YOU!" I throw the picture at him and with that, I ran out of the restaurant. I saw Rouge and she tried to confront me as well, but I just flipped her off and ran to the nearest store. I stayed there so Shadow and Rouge wouldn't find me and I called for a taxi. It would come in about 5 minutes so I was okay.

"I would understand if Shadow did that to me, but Rouge? She's my best friend! I can't understand why I did to her to make her do this to me. What about Knuckles? Does she not love him?" I asked myself. The taxi soon came and I got inside. I told him the directions and sat back. Soon, I arrived at my building and paid the driver and went inside. I rode the elevator to my floor and went into my apartment. I went inside and instantly fell on the couch and began to sob. The pain that I feeling right now was nothing I was able to describe.

"Shadow is cut out of my life, but I guess I shouldn't cut Rouge out completely, but just for a while." I sighed and continued to sob.

*Shadow's POV*

Since I dropped off Rouge earlier, she offered to pick me up when we were going to see Rose. It was around 8:30, and Amy's shift was going to end in about a half hour so Rouge and I were planning to stay with her until it ended and take her home.

I went downstairs after receiving Rouge's text and got into her car. "Hey Red." She said.

I smirked. "Sup R. Sick car."

She drove off to the restaurant, a smirk on her face. "Thank you. It was a gift from my aunt a year ago." She replied. "You ready to see Pinks?"

"I'm always ready to see Rose." I replied with a grin this time. We got to the restaurant, but all the spaces were full.

Rouge groaned. "You get off here. I'll find a space at the back." I nodded and left, heading to the restaurant. When I got in there, all I saw was Amy sobbing into Sonic's chest while he was holding her. What the hell?!

"What did you do to my girl?!" I shouted. They both turned to face me and they both got up. Amy wiped away her tears. I was going to tear this guy to shreds if he hurt Rose.

"Shadow, you've caused enough pain." I looked at him with a confused face. What was this guy talking about? I brushed it off and went to comfort Rose, but I was greeted with a harsh slap to the face.

"YOU CHEATER! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! I HATE YOU!" She throw some sort of picture at me and ran out of the restaurant. I held my cheek as I looked down at the picture. My eyes widened as Rouge walked in.

She saw me staring at a picture with wide eyes. "What's wrong and why did Amy just flip me off over there?" I didn't say anything and showed her the picture. She covered her mouth with her hand. "Oh my god."

"Amy threw this at me." I said. Her eyes began to tear up and she dropped to her knees crying.

"I can't believe someone would do this!" She screamed. "Amy is never going to believe me and she'll hate me!" I comforted her for a moment then picked her up and sat her down on a chair.

My attention turned to Sonic. "You photoshopped this picture, didn't you?" I asked in a low voice.

He smirked. "You're very slow Shadow. Now Amy will never believe you two and she'll fall for me again in a matter of time." Rouge's eye twitched as she growled dangerously.

I growled as well. "YOU'RE DEAD!" I shouted and tackled him. I started throwing punches at him and he did the same. Apparently he wasn't going down without a fight. I picked him up and broke him through one of the coffee tables. He growled and reversed my punch, kicking me in the gut and leaving me winded. He took the opportunity to hit me in the head with a tray, my head smashing to the floor. He was about to pick me up, but I tripped him. When he was on the floor, I began my assault again, throwing fierce punches at the hedgehog.

"Guys! Stop!" Rouge shouted, but it was no use. We continued to fight each other until Rouge and Espio separated us. Rouge somehow holding Sonic and Espio holding me back.

"AMY IS MINE! IM GOING TO WIN HER BACK!" Sonic shouted.

"ROSE IS MY GIRL! IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE SO DESPERATE THAT YOU CANT GET ANOTHER ONE! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU ANYMORE?! GIVE THE HELL UP AND GET A LIFE!" I shouted back. Rouge released Sonic and as he was about to leave, she gave him the hardest screw kick I've ever seen, leaving him unconscious, then told Espio to release me.

"What do we do now? That prick ruined 2 relationships: yours and mine and Pinks' friendship." Rouge said, her voice cracking slightly from the amount of crying she'd done. Her make up was messed up and she was sniffling like crazy.

I sighed. "We're going to go to Amy's apartment and find out her story and we'll tell her what Sonic had done and she will forgive us." She nodded. "Let's go." We both ran out of the restaurant. We were headed to her car until I stopped Rouge.

"Hold on, I know Rose won't open the door from us so we should Chaos Control there." I said.

She had a confused look on her face. "Chaos Control?"

I pulled out my chaos emerald. "It's a way of teleporting. I'll take us right to Rose's living room."

She nodded. "Alright. We should hold hands though, that way Amy won't be anymore upset." I nodded at her logical reasoning.

I held her hand and held my chaos emerald up in the air. "Chaos Control now!" I said loudly and we disappeared into a glow of green light.
