It's been awhile since I updated this one, but, with the new year here, it's time to get this story back on track.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic The Hedgehog or any of the characters, they are owned by Sega and Sonic Team.
Sonic paced around nervously, still covered in dye, stuck as Shadow for a little bit until Tails would arrive.
An empty feeling in the pit of his stomach, along with barely being able to catch his breath weren't helping.
"It's alright, Tails will show up, I'll explain the situation and he can get me the help I need." Sonic tried to assure himself.
A knock at the door alerted him.
"That was quick." Sonic thought.
Sonic opened the door, revealing someone he had hoped wouldn't have ever seen him like this.
"Shadow?" Amy said, in surprise.
Sonic cleared his throat, preparing to put on his act.
"What are you doing here?" Shadow asked, Sonic putting an unwelcoming attitude into his tone.
"I came by to see Sonic." Amy said.
"Why would you want to see him?" Shadow questioned.
"Not that it's any of your business, but, we're going out." Amy said, with hostility towards him.
Shadow just chuckled, smirking with an amused delight.
"I didn't think you'd actually go out with him, you really must be desperate." Shadow mocked her.
Amy glared at him, the anger inside her building up whenever he spoke.
"Well, not that this hasn't been fun or anything, but I have company coming, so get out of my place." Shadow ordered her.
"I'm not leaving, I came here to see Sonic." Amy said.
Shadow growled, Sonic coming up with a lie, quickly.
"He's at work, he won't be home for another two hours." Shadow said.
"I can wait." Amy said, taking a seat on the couch, crossing her arms, as if to say that she wasn't going to listen to him.
Shadow started to make noises out of frustration, immediately walking out of the room.
He entered the bathroom and turned on the shower, washing the dye off.
"This is more complicated than I thought." Sonic thought.
"She's nothing but a nuisance." Shadow thought.
"The sooner I get rid of you, the better." Sonic thought.
"You think that Tails guy can help?" Shadow questioned.
"Not a chance, I'm much more than a psychological problem my friend, so much more." Shadow thought.
Sonic cringed at his statement, shaking his thoughts off as he exited the shower.
Sonic, knowing he couldn't exit out the bathroom, opened up the window, sneaking outside.
While this was going on, Amy was still waiting around, eagerly awaiting Sonic's arrival.
As if by chance, a knock on the door alerts her.
"Sonic, it's me." Someone says.
Amy answers the door, seeing a fox standing there with a clipboard in hand.
"Oh, hello, sorry to bother you, I must have the wrong place." He said.
"No, you're alright, sorry, Sonic isn't here right now, Shadow said he's at work." Amy mentions.
"Shadow?" The fox said, confused.
"Yeah, Shadow the hedgehog, Sonic's roommate, you must've read his book." Amy says.
He nods his head no.
"Sorry, I've never heard of him, still…Sonic never mentioned having a roommate." He told her.
"That's strange." Amy said.
"Yeah, oh, sorry, where are my manners?" He uttered, holding out his hand for her to shake.
"I'm Miles, Miles Prower, but my friends call me Tails." He introduced himself.
Amy shook his hand, a smile forming on her face due to his welcoming nature.
"I'm Amy, Amy Rose." She introduced herself.
"Pleasure to meet you." Miles said.
Amy welcomed him in, hoping Shadow wouldn't scare him off.
"So, who is this Shadow guy?" Miles asked.
"He's an arrogant, pompous author." Amy said, surprising Tails with her sudden shift in emotion.
"I take it you two aren't on good terms?" Tails said.
"Pretty much." Amy said.
"It's funny though, Sonic's an author as well." Tails said.
"Really?" Amy said, in surprise.
"Yeah, it was his dream to become a famous writer, it's kind of a shame he hasn't gotten a break, he's put so much time and devotion into his works." Tails told her.
Amy was stunned, she had no idea.
"Wow, I didn't know." Amy said.
"Yeah, we've been friends since we were kids, even back then, he always had his attention on his novels, whether it was reading or writing." Tails said.
"It's nice to meet one of Sonic's friends." Amy said.
"Yeah, speaking of which, how do you know Sonic?" Tails asked.
"Oh, I'm his." Amy started speaking, interrupted by none other than the blue hedgehog himself, walking into the room.
Sonic was about to speak, but stopped, suddenly noticing Tails' presence.
"Oh no." Sonic thought.
"Let's see you get out of this one." Shadow taunted.
Shadow's mocking laughter echoed in his mind, torturing Sonic as the stress was rising.
