This is the moment you, or I, have been waiting for. And this chapter is actually up to date! I'm coming back on track. And I don't own Sonic or the crew.
Every one knew that Shadow and Amy had become a couple within that weekend. Some called them the Halloween couple since it was so close to Halloween when they started dating. Most of the younger and naïve girls were jealous, while others just looked at Amy with pity. And others, like Rouge, asked: "What the hell were you think!?"
"I don't know," Amy confessed, "yes was the only thing that came out of my mouth." The conversion ended there. It was obvious that Sonic was upset, but he didn't let it show when Amy was around. If Shadow wasn't around, Sonic was usually with Amy. Blaze and Cream even told Amy that she was as blind as a bat for not seeing that Sonic liked her.
"Hey!" Rouge said.
"Sorry." Cream said, even though it was Blaze who said it. Blaze went back to Amy saying, "Can't you see that he likes you? And I don't mean as a friend, I mean likes-likes you. Maybe even likes-likes-likes you."
"Yes, but I think I saw that a little late. Unless I break up with Shadow, I won't be dating anyone else for a while." And so life went on…
Till a cold November night.
Both Amy and Blaze worked in the kitchen at the skating rink when there was a hockey game on. They both had to work on one Friday in late November. Cream and Tails would be going together to watch the game and as usual, Rogue would be at the games to tease Knuckles and to hang out with 'the kitchen girls' as she called Amy and Blaze in the winter. Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow and Sliver were almost always there because they were on the hockey team. Almost the whole town was there when a game was on, actually.
Amy was hurrying to get ready to go that night as she looked for her wallet in the kitchen. As she was looking on top of the microwave, she heard the back door close.
"Hey Daddy, have you seen my wallet?"
"Did you look on the bookshelf?" Amy went to the living room bookshelf and looked behind a picture.
"Thanks Dad. I should be back by 9:30." Amy said as she got her coat on. Mr. Rose turned on the coffee machine.
"It looks like it could snow tonight, so if you want to stay at a friend's house, that's fine. I'd rather see you at some one else's house then in the ditch. Just call to let me know." Amy hugged her dad.
"Thanks Dad. You're the best." A car horn honked outside in the dark. It was only 6:15, but it got pretty dark at that time of year.
"I'll see you later Dad." Amy said as she ran out the door and jumped into the white car. Rouge usually drove Blaze and Amy to the rink, which helped out the parents.
"Hey Amy. What's new?" Rouge asked as she carefully drove out of the icy driveway.
"My Dad says it might snow." There was usually two feet of snow on the ground at that time of year, but there was only thin layers on the side of the road and ice. This made the people who snowmobiled disappointed.
"I'll be glad when it snows, then I'll have an excuse to go some place warm." Rouge said, as she hated the cold.
"I'll be able to go sledding and throw snowballs at you." Blaze said, except she couldn't hold a snowball for more then two seconds. The conversation somehow got from snow to new cell phones (Rouge was hoping to get a new one) by the time they reached town.
OoOoOoOoOoO
The home team won 9 to 7 in the end of the hockey game. After all the other people were gone from the kitchen, the gang decided to watch a movie at Rouge's house, since her parents were gone for the weekend. The only couple that wouldn't be coming was Tails and Cream. After calling her dad and telling him where she was, Amy hopped into the car with Shadow.
"Do you think it's going to snow?" Amy asked. Shadow shrugged.
"I wouldn't mind if it did. I'd get to go and rip around on my snowmobile. Do you think it'll snow?"
"I hope so; we usually get snow before the end of November." It was a bit weird not having snow yet. It usually came early November, and sometimes even on Halloween.
Soon they all got to Rouge's house. Blaze and Amy popped popcorn, Rouge found the cola, and the guys picked out the movie. It wasn't the girl's favorite movie, but the guys knew that if the girls picked the movie it would be a chick flick. About half an hour into the movie, Shadow frowned.
"Dang, I just remembered that I forgot something at home. I'll be back, want to come Amy?" Amy really didn't want go; this was as close as she could get to both Sonic and Shadow at the same time. But once again, her mouth wasn't working right.
"Sure." she said and grabbed her coat. As they drove to the other side of town where Shadow lived, Amy asked, "What did you forget?"
"Nothing particular. Just wanted to show you something."
"What?" Amy asked. Shadow smiled.
"You'll see." Amy wasn't too sure if she liked the way he said that. When they finally got to Shadow's house, he turned off the car and led Amy inside.
"Shadow?" Amy wasn't sure what was happening, and she wasn't sure if she liked it either.
"Just put your coat anywhere." Shadow said as they entered the house. Amy slowly took off her coat.
"Shadow, what's going on? I thought we were only going to be a few minutes." Shadow gently pulled her to the couch.
"I just wanted to get away from them all." They sat on the couch and kissed. Amy wasn't too sure if she should buy the fact that Shadow wanted to get away from everyone. As they kissed, Amy noticed something. Shadow pulled away and took off Amy's shirt.
"Shadow?" Shadow pulled Amy into another kiss and started taking her pants off. Before he could get them completely off, Amy pulled away in shock.
"Shadow what are you doing?" But Amy answered the question herself. Her eyes got big as she pulled her pants up.
"Shadow, what do you think you're doing?" She backed away from him.
"Just for tonight, please." He moved towards her, and Amy backed into the wall.
"Shadow, no. If my dad found out, both of us would be dead." Shadow started pulling her pants down again. He simply said, "Then don't tell your dad."
"Shadow, please, no." Shadow ignored her and kissed her again. Amy pulled away and repeated, "Shadow please don't." She was on the verged of tears. Just as Shadow managed to get her pants off when –
"Shadow!" a different voice called out. Both hedgehogs turned to see that Sonic had entered the house, and he did not look happy.
"Let her go." Shadow just looked at Sonic for a minute, but stepped out of Amy's way as she pulled her pants back on. She found her shirt and put that back on as well as her coat. She looked back at Shadow before she went out the door, hoping he would say something. But al he did was look at her. Amy said. "Good bye, Shadow." And followed Sonic out the door. Once far enough away from Shadow's house, Sonic asked Amy, "You ok?" She just nodded, then asked, "How did you know?"
"Blaze decided she didn't want you by yourself with Shadow, so she asked me. I parked about a block away. I'm glad I wasn't too late." Amy had been by herself with Shadow lots of times, even at his house with just the two of them, but he hadn't tried that. Amy was too overwhelmed with what just, and could have, happened that all she could do was nod. Then she noticed something. She looked up. Millions of white, cold flacks fell from the sky.
"It's snowing." Amy said. The two of them walked in silence admiring the falling snow when Sonic asked, "Did you want to go home or back to Rouge's?" Amy knew that if she went home, her dad would ask way she was home and she would spill it out and Mr. Rose would kill Shadow. But if she went to Rouge's she could tell them and probably keep it quiet.
"I'll go back to Rouge's. I'm afraid of what will happen if I go home." Sonic put his arm around Amy, and Amy hugged him and started crying.
"Shhh. It's ok." Sonic said. After a good five minuets of crying, both Amy's face and Sonic's jacket were wet and frozen with tears. Sonic brushed Amy's few remaining tears away.
"It's going to be ok. He didn't do anything to you." Amy nodded, but she was still overwhelmed with what happened. She shivered. Sonic put his arm around her again.
"Come on. Let's get out of the cold." He said as he led her to his truck through the snow.
Arug! I just made Shadow the bad guy! (slams head into the nearest wall) I feel so bad now. Sorry to all the ShadowXAmy and Shadow fans who are reading this. I doubt I'll write a chapter like this again for a LONG time. I still feel awful for making Shadow the bad guy. If you're mad at me, you can flame this chapter, but this chapter only. Now I'm going to go and slam my head into another wall.
