Chapter 3

After hours of attempting to calm Silver's terrified fits in the middle of the night, and him claiming the movie was telling him about his future, he was subdued into a blissful sleep. And the rest of the house soon fell quiet along with him for a much needed sleep.

The next morning, the wonderful smell of breakfast crept into Sonic's room, luring him out of his sleep. He stood up and sprinted down the stairs, the whole house practically shaking with him. As he sprinted into the kitchen, Amy almost lost her balance and her pancakes for that matter. Amy didn't even need to turn around to see who the disturbance was.

"Sonic you gotta be more careful or else you will be eating the couch for breakfast." Amy sighed as she poured more batter into the pan.

"Sorry Ames, sometimes I forget how fast I really go." Sonic chuckled, rubbing his nose with his index finger. "You made pancakes, just for me?"

Amy's heart fluttered but went against her instinct to agree and corrected him, "For everybody."

She turned off the stove and placed the stack of pancakes on the counter. She looked around through the cabinets for maple syrup to put out for the boys. "Sonic, where do you keep the maple syrup?"

When she got no response seconds later, she turned to see him stuffing his face with two fluffy pancakes. She cleared her throat to get his attention and glared at him.

"That's all the pancakes for you, Sonic." She laughed as his face fell in disappointment. She resisted the urge to go over there and cheer him up, "Now where is the syrup?"

"Top shelf, above the refrigerator." Sonic smiled, leaning against the counter, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Not really, still a little stressed about my financial situation." Amy sighed, cleaning up the countertop that was littered with pancake mix. Sonic walked over and grabbed the pan and started to clean with her.

"Have you ever heard of regression to the mean?" Sonic asked, washing the pan in the sink and putting it on the counter to dry. "It means that no matter how bad things are, they will always regress back to normal. So no matter how bad you got it, things will be okay in the end."

Amy blushed a bit and turned to Sonic, who was looking right back at her. Her heart fluttered when she looked in her eyes and moved closer to her, standing next to her.

"That actually does make me feel better, so thank you Sonic." Amy smiled, leaning back against the countertop.

Sonic just smiled in return as he moved closer, itching to feel her skin on his fingertips, wanting to know what it's like to run his fingers through her hair. But part of him screamed to stop, for he was unknowing of what these feelings could lead to. But he took his time scanning her features, memorizing every line, every curve.

"I smell pancakes!" They were interrupted by Silver racing down the stairs with the biggest smile on his face. He ran into the kitchen, oblivious to the scene between Sonic and Amy as he took a plate and filled it with pancakes before lathering them with syrup.

"You're the best Amy Mi Mi." Silver sang as he ran to hug her, whilst shoving pancakes in his mouth.

"You're welcome Silver." Amy laughed as she wiped pancake crumbs off of herself from SIlver. "I'm gonna wake up Shadow, tell him pancakes are ready."

"Don't!" Sonic and Silver yelled in unison, startling Amy.

"Why not?" Amy questioned the two hedgehogs, stopping in her tracks.

"He likes his sleep.." Sonic said, rubbing the back of his head. "He hates being woken up early."

"Yeah he will decapitate you, and fuck up your life. " Silver nervously added before shoving more food in his mouth.

"I will take my chances." Amy laughed at the two, ascending the stairs. She made her way to Shadow's room, the first room on the right. She lightly tapped on the door and waited for a response. She heard a low annoyed groan come from the room and she opened the door slightly.

"Silver if that's you, I will rip off your damn head." Shadow mumbled, lying down with his back facing the door.

"Not Silver…" Amy quietly stated, opening up the door more so that she was visible. Shadow rolled over onto his back and looked at the door in surprise.

"Rose, it's you." Shadow smiled before he sat upright in his bed and rubbed his eyes. He forced himself not to smile when he saw her notice he was smiling. "What's up?"

"I made pancakes for everybody, but you gotta hurry before Silver and Sonic eat them all." Amy laughed as she leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed. She blushed when he got out of bed shirtless. She quickly turned away looking at the wall next to her. Amy heard him laugh and she rolled her eyes.

"Don't be so shy about looking, it's nothing much to see anyways." Shadow smirked, slipping on a shirt and a sweatpants.

"What are you talking about it is much- wait that-t's not what I meant." Amy turned away and walked out of the room before she embarrassed herself anymore than she already has, leaving Shadow standing in the middle of his room.

Amy made him feel happy when the rest of the world annoyed him. She was the light in the world that seemed so dark, and he wasn't used to feeling this way. For he was not originally created to feel these feelings. And, he hasn't felt joy in 50 years so being with Amy was the muse he needed in his life, and he would risk it all to keep it that way.

So many things have changed for Amy in the span of 36 hours. She hasn't had to worry about conjuring up enough money to eat for every meal. She didn't have to worry about making it to work on time. It was like a dream vacation to her, and it was all thanks to these three hedgehogs.

Amy had spent the majority of her day setting up her room and cleaning it, since it seemed like it hadn't been dusted in years. And even when she asked Sonic where his duster was he looked at her like she was crazy. These hedgehogs and their lack of cleanliness. When it came to sundown, the four decided to go out for the night.

The four were walking along the sidewalk at 9 at night accompanied by a purple cat, Blaze. They were all heading to a bowling alley, wanting a change in activity, instead of lying around all day. Silver decided to invite Blaze because Amy wanted some femininity in the group, and also Silver was begging for her to go.

Amy tugged on the hem of her grey cardigan nervously, thinking about how bad she was at bowling. She was afraid of making a fool of herself in front of everybody. The last time she went bowling, she fell flat on her face, which wasn't a good sight.

The five walked into the bowling alley, and Sonic stepped up to the counter to rent them all a lane and shoes. They all gave their shoe size to the man at the counter who gave them their shoes respectively. Sonic sped over to the last lane which was given to them, the rest of the group following behind him.

"Someone's a little excited." Shadow laughed, looking at Sonic hover over the computer screen as he put in their names to be displayed on scoreboard.

"Excited to beat your ass, faker." Sonic laughed as he typed in Shadow's screenname, showing up as 'faker' on the screen. Shadow noticed his name on the scoreboard before glaring at Sonic with his arms crossed.

"Damn, he got you good Shadow." Silver laughed. Blaze just rolled her eyes crossing over to the table set up for the group. Amy sat down right next to her, her shoes in hand.

"Have you bowled before Blaze?" Amy asked, leaning down to tie her shoes while also fixing her jeans.

"When I was 8 but I haven't gone since." Blaze laughed, fixing her high ponytail. "So don't laugh when I forget what I'm doing."

"Oh I won't laugh trust me," Amy stated leaning back in her seat. "I'm shit at bowling, I bust my butt trying to roll the damn thing."

"You flirting with my girlfriend, Ms. Rose?" Silver jokingly asked as he approached the girls and sat down next to the lavender cat. He slung his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Guilty." Amy joked, putting her hands up in defense.

"Ready…" The three turned their attention to Sonic who was aiming his shot and attempt to roll a strike, only for it to hit about half of the pins. Shadow chuckled as he watched Sonic glare at the pins as he waited for the ball to return back through the shoot.

"You got this Sonic!" Amy cheered him on along with SIlver and Blaze. His face lit up as he looked back at the pink hedgehog. He leaned down to pick up the ball and roll it down the lane at an insane speed to knock the rest of the pins down.

"Hah spare!" Sonic smiled proudly as the rest of the group cheered for him, aside from Shadow. Sonic stepped away for Shadow's turn. "You're up faker."

Shadow glared at Sonic, partly for getting all the pins down but also for gaining Amy's full attention. Shadow picked up the nearest bowling ball and rolled it down the track repeating exactly what Sonic did, winning himself a spare.

Amy, Silver, and Blaze cheered making him smile and making Sonic roll his eyes.

"You're up Amy." Blaze encouraged her towards the rack of bowling balls. Amy sighed and grabbed a ball passing Sonic and Shadow who were busy glaring at each other.

Amy took a deep breath and rolled the ball down the lane only for it to fall right into the gutter. She saw that coming, but still was disappointed it didn't make it any further. She stepped back and waited for the ball to return.

"It's just one play Amy you got this." Silver smiled at her and gave her encouragement to take another ball from the rack and roll it down the lane. The ball knocked down four pins and she lit up with excitement.

"I did it! I hit the pins!" Amy jumped up and down and ran over to the two hedgehogs. "Did you guys see?"

Shadow and Sonic both looked at her in confusion and Amy sighed. They must have been too busy making witty remarks at each other to see. Sonic just patted her shoulder and she rolled her eyes.

Blaze got up for her turn and Silver followed right behind her. He knew she hadn't played in a while so he stood behind her in encouragement. Blaze looked back at him and smiled as she picked up a ball. His hands guided hers as he led her hand backwards and they both leaned forward to release the ball down the lane. They looked so in sync and in love, all Amy could do was smile and stare.

Amy felt Sonic and Shadow walk up behind her, watching the couple with her. Amy felt so transparent standing there with the two hedgehogs standing behind her. She wasn't sure if they were thinking the same thing as her but she still felt so exposed seeing a couple with the two hedgehogs she may or may not have a crush on standing behind her quietly. She nervously rubbed her left arm and felt the warmth of the two hedgehogs behind her.

She felt Shadow's hand touch her hand and she blushed, but at that same moment she heard Sonic speak, "They are one cute but gross couple."

Right as Sonic spoke, Shadow retracted his hand and Sonic stepped closer to Amy. Amy was blushing a deep red as she just nodded in agreement. Silver and Blaze separated and walked back over to the table, and Sonic went to take his turn.

She crossed over to the table and sat down, thinking about the two hedgehogs and how she felt. How can you like two people at the same time? She remained to herself the rest of the night, while still managing to socialize with the rest of the group. Blaze and Silver as a team ended up beating both Sonic and Shadow, to their surprise, and Amy came in dead last. Partly because she was so lost with herself.

The group left the bowling alley all chatting and laughing and having a good time. They made their way home, and made their way into the house. The group went into the living room to watch late night TV but Amy stayed behind.

"I'm super tired guys, I'll see you in the morning." Amy yawned and a chorus of 'goodnight's came from the four. She made her way up to her room and changed into soft shorts and an old t-shirt.

She crawled in bed as she thought to herself, 'What did I get myself into?'

(Note: sorry about the late update, my birthday was last Friday and I was stressed about my arrangements and forgot about this story. BUT I stayed up till 2 AM to make this chapter. So sorry in advance for any grammatical errors or stupid errors I'm tired.)
