I DO NOT OWN SEGA OR ANY SONIC CHARACTERS

"Well, at least Sonic and Scourge took the sentence for eight years. That's the best Judge Victor could do." Blaze sighed and ran her hands through her fur. Amy was silent and she slowly looked up at her with a weak smile. She really couldn't believe that Sonic only had that long. Amy was hoping it could be longer than that, probably eleven years with those two hedgehogs. Lacing her petite fingers together, she nodded. "Um, okay Blaze… I understand. I just hoped it would've been longer. Anyways, thank you so much for helping Shadow and me out on this. I appreciate it." Amy smiled once more and it faded out as Blaze patted her shoulder. "Yeah, it's nothing big. You're one of my greatest friends Amy." She grinned and took a quick glance at her watch. Her face grimaced a little and she sighed. She just remembered that she had to take out Silver for a meeting. "Well, anyway, I gotta be going. I need to get to this meeting. Amy, you'll be taken care greatly from Shadow. Bye." Blaze then took her keys off the coffee table and began to walk towards the door for exit.
As Amy heard her footsteps fade away down the hall, she sighed. It's been two weeks after the trial and she still feel touched. Just the quietness makes her feel like she just wants to go away and disappear. She was waiting for Shadow to come back from work and it was taking forever. Shadow wasn't usually this late from work. Don't worry Amy; he'll be home in a few moments. I just know it. She thought to herself. Fiddling with her thumbs, she chewed on her bottom lip and kept glancing back and forth at the wall clock. Just the ticking noise made her feel like she was in an asylum with those crazy folks. Shaking her head sternly, she breathed out slowly and knew that he was coming home soon. "Okay, Amy…. You're just being paranoid. If you turn on the flat screen you wouldn't feel like this." she mumbled to herself. Blinking a couple of times, she took hold of the remote and clicked it on. The first thing that came on was the seven o'clock news. Her jade eyes slowly began to analyze the captions and stuff. At least it wasn't too depressing like she expected it to be. Amy soon felt like that it was quiet at all, she felt a little relaxed. No more eerie silence, not even a bit of paranoia.
After watching the news, she didn't realize that it was going on the next hour. Right before she was going to turn off the flat screen, she heard the lock on the door click and she was startled. "Holy shit, it was only Shadow." she grumbled quietly. Shadow's façade was a little tiring and she was really glad that he came home soon. "Shadow, you're back." she smiled and her small tail began to wag a little of excitement. Shadow wiped his brow and he glanced up at Amy. His ruby eyes gleamed and he returned the small smile. "Hey Rose, sorry for not coming back a little sooner than I expected. I had to take care of these paper works." Hanging up his jacket on the rack, he slipped off his shoes and began to walk into the living room. Looking around, his gaze caught up on her and he sat down next to her. "So, how was it with Blaze? Did she tell you about Sonic and Scourge's sentence?" he asks with a cocked eyebrow. Amy cleared her throat and she laced her fingers again. "Y-Yeah, she came o-over and told me…" she paused, "they're only in prison for eight years." Amy sighed and glanced up at Shadow's face; waiting for his response. "Good. I hope those assholes suffer for what they did to you." Shadow ran his hands through his quills and stares into her jade gaze with his ruby ones. Shadow mentally frowned because he could still see the forlornness in her eyes. Sighing miserably, he patted her knee. Amy felt his hand on her knee and she winced slightly since she wasn't used to it. Shadow noticed it and he frowned. "Sorry Amy, you're not ready?" he asks. Amy gasped a little and she gazed up at him again. "N-No, i-it's not that… I was just caught off a little. My mistake." she lied. She felt sorry for him assuming that. Shadow took his hand back and placed it in his lap. He crossed his legs and stared at her, but soon enough his stomach growled a little. He noticed that he didn't have any lunch nor did he eat breakfast. "Sorry, I, uh… Didn't eat all day, I was actually going to make dinner." Shadow told her and he cleared his throat. "It's fine Shadow. I'm sort of hungry too." she grinned a little and breathed out her nose. Shadow returned the grin, but he was thankful that his stomach growled to get the awkward silence out of the way. Getting up with a small yawn, he began to walk towards his kitchen but he stopped in his tracks. "Would you like anything to drink, Rose?" he asks. She nodded and said, "I would like to have water… Please." Shadow gave her thumbs up and resumed walking in. Taking the cup off the shelf he poured her some water and walked back to give it to her.
"Thank you, Shadow."
"You're welcome, Rose."
She grinned and Shadow grinned back, walking back into the kitchen he was taking out some vegetables from the refrigerator. "I'll just be making beef stew. It's nice on a cold day." he said. Shadow took his knife and began slicing up some potatoes and onions. As he was slicing, his ear twitched since it was too silent. He thought he could start up the conversation.
"So…. How was your day, Rose?"
"It was great since Blaze came over and told me the news. Then I took a small nap before she came over… Knuckles and Rouge took me out for some coffee then we talked. Yup, it was decent."
He nodded his head and placed the knife down. "That's nice, ugh… I wish I could just have a day off." Picking up the knife, he began slicing up the tomatoes and celery. He sighed with some sort of content then he turned his neck around to face her as he resumed slicing.
"What about you, Shadow?"
"Oh, my day wasn't that all exciting…. Just paper work after paper work. I've been dawdling all day in my mind. I had to stay over my regular time because it was just a pain in the ass with all those people messing up the orders with G.U.N. But yeah, that was pretty much my day." He placed the cut up vegetables in a small bowl than he rips up the package with fresh cut beef. It was just a small block. Cutting it up in cubes, he turned his attention back on the cutting. Hearing her voice again, he turned his head back to her.
"Aw, that sounds awful Shadow. I hope your day ends up being a much better than today." she pouted about his day since it didn't sound great. Sighing, she got up and thought it would be nice to help him cook. Shadow's eyebrow cocked and he shrugged his shoulders. "Hah, I guess it's better with more help." Shadow chuckled and gave her the cubed up beef. "Yeah, I just thought it would be nice to help you out." She looked puzzled and took the bowl off cubed beef. "Here, all you have to do is put it in the pot and it'll boil." Amy nodded her head and did what he said. "So, after those boil we'll just add the vegetables to the beef." He washed his hands and placed the cutting board and knife in the sink. Amy then said, "Alright Shadow. Um, so what're we going to do when the food is cooking?" Shadow looked up at her and shrugged. "I dunno, I guess we could put on a movie or just watch the flat screen." Amy shrugged her shoulders and just chose to watch the flat screen. "It's fine; we can just watch the flat screen." Shadow then walked to the living room and she followed after him. "TV it is then." Sitting down on his couch, he leaned back with his legs crossed and began watching some documentary about G.U.N. Amy soon joined him on the couch. As Shadow was watching the documentary, Amy took a hold of his hand and leaned close to his face. She actually had the courage to do that. Shadow stood still and his eyes widen slightly in surprise. "Amy…?" he questioned. Amy just stared deeply in his ruby gazed. She said nothing then she placed a small kiss on his cheek. Amy pulled away slowly and gazed at his face. "Th-Thank you Shadow…. For everything. I really appreciate it." Amy had a small blush on his face and Shadow was just silent and he slowly nodded his head out of his daze.
"You're welcome, Rose."
