I peeked out of my doorway ears twitching for any sound of Shadow in the house. Complete silence. Sighing I headed down the stairs ready for breakfast. Last night had been torture, I couldn't sleep at all. Rubbing my eyes I walked straight into Shadow. I jumped back, I thought he had left to who knows where.

"M…morning." I said shyly my head ducked down as I walked over to the fridge.

"Breakfast is on the stove." Was all he said before he headed into the living room. I walked over to the stove to see pancakes on a plate . What? I was confused , was he trying to pay me back or something. I quickly ate and went back up to my room to change into some decent clothes, It was a very uncomfortable day he never left , just hung around. I jumped up when I heard the phone ring, hoping that Sonic or Amy would get me out of here.

"What do you want?" I heard Shadow's gruff voice say into the phone.

"Fine." He handed me the phone , went and leaned against the wall watching me.

"H…hi." I said into the phone trying to guess who it was.

"Hey, Mia! What's up?" Sonic said cheerfully into the phone , a big grin spread across my face.

"Hi sonic! Nothing new, just hanging around the house." I replied wishing the phone was cordless so I could tell sonic about the piano.

"You busy tonight?"

"No , why?"

"Well everybody else is doing something on their own so I was wondering if you wanted to go see a movie with me?"

"Amy was too busy for you? Wow!"

"Yeah! I know so what do you say?" I looked over shadow for a second then instantly regretted it, he was looking at me suspiciously.

" Sure sounds great!"

"Great! I'll pick you up in an hour and a half, see ya!" the line went dead. I put the phone back on the receiver and ran up the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Shadow asked appearing on top of the stairs ,arms crossed.

" Umm… We're going to see a movie." I said as I was about to close the door, I looked into the room for a minute as I closed the door. I pulled and it wouldn't shut, I looked up to see shadow's foot stopping it from shutting.

"What movie?"

"I..I ..umm I don't know? Why?"

"Just a question." He said then moved his foot from the doorway. I quickly picked out a outfit and brushed my hair out. Hour and a half later I heard a knock at the door , I flung my bedroom door open and ran down the stairs, I was at the last three steps when I lost my balance. I braced myself for impact when I fell into something soft and warm. I opened my eyes to see nothing but black and white fur, I looked up to ruby eyes. A minute later I also noticed I was on top of Shadow , jumping back I nearly fell backwards until Shadow grabbed my arm at the last minute.

"Watch it!" He snarled as he pulled me up.

"S…s..sorry!" I stuttered out smoothing out my shirt.

"That faker's not worth you breaking your neck ."

"Y..yeah. Sorrry!" I said pulling my arms behind me, head down. Two sharp knocks were repeated. I opened it to a worried Sonic.

"Hey how come you didn't answer at the first knock?"

"I tripped that's all. I'm a real klutz."

" I honestly doubt that! Come on lets go so we won't be late for the movie."

"What movie are you taking her to ?" Shadow asked back at the same spot as before.

"Footloose. You'll love it, Mia! But it would be even better if we saw the beginning !"

"Okay ,okay! Lets go." I said as I walked out of the house.

"Faker!" Shadow snarled.

" Don't forget our deal."

"Yeah, yeah, I haven't forgotten . Just make sure you keep your side of the bargain." Sonic said then in a blink he scooped me up and began running. I kept my eyes shut the whole way down to the theater. We quickly went inside and grabbed a good seat, the movie was about a guy moving into a small town where dancing was banned and how he was able to convince the preacher's daughter to have a dance outside the city for the high school kids. I winced at the part when the girl was getting hurt by her boyfriend, instantly remembering shadow's grip on my wrist. I was moving my head side to side at the end , when I noticed a couple actually dancing in the aisle! Sonic and I doubled over laughing! When suddenly Sonic began to smirk, he jumped up grabbed my hand and led me to the first row of the theater and spun me around. I kept mouthing 'no' but he kept at it and soon I was laughing as I danced around. When the music finally stopped the whole room was empty, We walked out of their grins on our faces. Little did we know that we were watched.

Shadow watched them from the top of the farthest corner of the rows.

"What is so great about that faker?" He thought to himself as he sat down on the theater seat searching the crowd of mobian's for Sonic and Mia. They walked in laughing and smiling and they left exactly the same way. His hand was clenched as was his jaw ,when ever Sonic put his arm around Mia's shoulders or held her hand. He felt sick watching them together, her nose crinkling when she smiled or when she looked at that idiot of a faker. Why was he feeling this way, he pondered as he followed them out of the theater.

"Where are you taking me now?" I asked Sonic dragged me across the city.

"Somewhere special. Trust me you'll love it and its almost dark." Sonic grinned holding my hand as he pulled me away from the city lights. Suddenly he clapped his hands over my eyes.

"What are you doing?" I asked confused.

"Just keep walking I don't want you to see until we get to the place! I'll be your eyes until then."

"Then why does that not make me feel better?" I said laughing. I could hear his soft chuckle as we walked .

"Okay we're here. See you're still alive."

"Yeah, just barely! Can I open my eyes now?" He moved his hands off my face answering my question. I gasped at the sight.

"Its so beautiful." I sighed looking at the briliant stars, they looked like diamonds sparkling in the sun.

"I knew you'd like it. I love coming out here to look at the stars, you can't ever see them in the city."

"You're right, Its just so beautiful. And to think they're there ever night but nobody can see them. Thanks for bringing me here, I've had a great evening." I said sitting down next to sonic. I could feel my eyes getting heavier and heavier every minute until I had my head resting on Sonic's shoulder and drifted to sleep. I could feel the wind rush past us when he took me back home, I felt the warmth of Shadow's house when he walked in. I kept my eyes closed the entire time too lazy to open them , until Sonic shifted me into another pair of soft , warm arms that put me inside my bed. I barely opened my eyes to see Shadow leaving my room.
