Disclaimer, again. I don't own Sega characters. Ok, I'm done.

I'd like to thank all that reviewed the first chappie. I apologize for not having this up sooner and for Sonic's POV part being sooo short. Writer's block sucks, and school consumes my time.

Amy's POV-

Needless to say, I was very eager for Saturday to come. All week I couldn't concentrate on a thing, whether it was work or relaxation.

I haven't seen Sonic for a while. Well.I mean I haven't bothered with Sonic for a while. I bet he doesn't mind though. In fact, I bet he's enjoying life without me getting on his nerves all the time.

So all week I deprived myself of Sonic. I didn't exactly know why though. It was just a sort of thing that ate away at all the feeling I had for the blue hedgehog.

That Saturday I woke up early and put some coffee on for Shadow. I was all ready for my company when I heard the doorbell ring. I opened it to see those deep red eyes, ones I would have overlooked any other day. But this morning they just pulled me in and kept me there, those crimson orbs.

I stood there for a while, staring off into infinity. It took me a few minutes to realize what I was doing, then I finally snapped back into reality and let him in. I then hurried to my kitchen and offered him some coffee. Of course he answered yes.

I poured the steaming liquid into a mug and slowly walked over to the table. Shadow was standing up and leaning on a chair. He had the same sort of gaze I had at the door, just staring like that with a smile on his face. I handed him the coffee, and he replied with a quick "Thank you,"

It was silent for a few minutes. Nothing could be heard but the steady ticking of the clock hanging above the table. Tick, tick, tick.

I had to break the silence, so I turned on the radio to my favorite station. Ah, soft rock. Romantic, slow dancing sort of music. As I listened, I imagined a starry night's sky. Sonic and I were dancing together, underneath the silver moon. It was a breathtaking thought. I started humming to the tune of the music and swayed back and forth slowly.

"May I have this dance?"

My dream faded and I was back in my kitchen, still humming the song. Shadow was in front of me, an eager look on his face.

"Yes," I answered. I put my hands on his shoulders. It sent a chill up my spine as he put his arms around my back.

I relaxed and let the music move us with it's soothing sound. Those were a blissful few moments. Soon my head was rested on Shadow's shoulder, and my arms were around his back as well. I felt safe and loved in his embrace, even if it was just for a little while.

Sonic's POV-

"Amy!"

She gave me a wave and walked by casually.

That wasn't like the Amy I knew. A normal day consisted of being pestered by her for a good amount of time. This week was not normal by any means. Some days she didn't even bother waving.

Whatever- or whoever she had her mind on, it sure was important to her. Then again, wasn't I really important to her too? I wanted to fully accept that Amy just didn't want to annoy me anymore, and that I should smile and get on with life. But I couldn't shake the feeling that I sort of wanted her to bug me for once.
