Chapter 3 : A Shadowed Amy

It was 10:00 AM and Rouge had already gone out shopping. She didn't remember to shut her window, though, leaving it open for anyone to come in.

Someone did come in.

A pink blur ran through the window and to the answering machine. There it revealed itself to be none other than Amy Rose. Amy grinned evilly as she pressed the button.

~-~

Rouge, it's Shadow. I'd like to meet with you privately at the Mystic Palm restaurant at 7:00 PM. Please don't be late. BRING NO ONE!

~-~

Amy grinned and walked out the door. "I'll make that damn bat pay for taking Sonic from me. I'll go on a date with HER man!"

~*~

Amy ran into the store with the short, strapless, pink mini-dress. She quickly took it to the clerk. "How much is this?"

"$210."

Amy handed him 2 $100 bills and a $10 bill. "Thanks!" She grabbed the dress and ran to her small apartment. There she rummaged through her make-up and jewelry. "I'll be the one who steals someone's heart tonight!" She smiled with half-closed seductive eyes and went to work.

~*~

Shadow stood outside the Mystic Palm waiting for Rouge. 'Please don't be late!' He thought then saw a girl walking up. He smiled slightly, but then it turned to an open-mouth gawk.

Amy stood there with her eyes half-closed with dark red eye shadow, just like Rouge. She also had on light pink lipstick, pink high-heels, her new dress, and pink and white gloves. "Hey Shadow." She said in a seductive voice.

"A-Amy!?" He stuttered looked at her.

"I'm here in the place of Rouge. Don't mind do you?"

"To be honest, yes I do mind."

"I'll tell everyone that you kissed Knuckles!"

"WHAT!?" Shadow yelled, balling a fist. "I NEVER DID THAT!"

"But who would really believe you?" Amy smiled evilly and took Shadow's arm. "Let's go in, ok?"

Shadow grimaced and walked in with her.

~*~

"Shadow! You don't understand! Sonic's always talking about me badly. Calling me annoying, a pest, a damn fool, nuisance, and other mean things! I just hate him so much! He treats me so badly! I don't hate him. I love him! He's my Sonic and I'm going to marry him. No I'm not! I'll divorce that damn hedgehog! He's such an idiot. He's already got a new girl and I'm going to kill her! Damn Bat! She kissed MY Sonic!!"

Shadow's ears perked up at the last bit. "What bat?"

Amy stopped glaring out the window and turned to Shadow. "Rouge the damn bat, that's who!"

"She kissed Sonic!?"

"Yes! She also hurt me. She called me a dog and a puppy and said I'm annoying. Oh, Shadow help me!"

Shadow glared to the girl as he stood up. "Help you? I'll help myself by hunting down that boyfriend of yours!" He then walked out, ignoring the calls of the pink hedgehog.

~*~

Shadow walked down the dark street, looking down to the ground in sadness. "I though. . ." He whispered. "I thought I had a chance with Rouge. . ." He said a bit louder.

"Shadow!" A voice called from down the street.

Shadow looked up and saw . . . Knuckles!?

"Echidna?"

"My name is Knuckles." He said as he walked up to Shadow.

"What are you doing?"

"Hunting for chaos emeralds."

Shadow's look turned to a small glare, unnoticeable at that.

"What about them?"

"Haven't you heard? They were stolen from a local diamond store."

"Tried Eggman?"

"Yup. He's clean."

"Well, I don't know."

"Ok. . .nice to see you again!" Knuckles then ran off.

Shadow watched him run off before being tackled to the ground.

"I found you, my darling Sonic!"

"I'm not Sonic, Amy!!"

Amy looked down at Shadow. "Oh. I found you, my darling Shadow!"

"I'm not your darling either, now get off of me!" He yelled trying to push her off.

Amy didn't budge. "Where is Sonic?"

"Amy, I don't know. This is the second time you've harassed me. You owe me two apologies."

Amy looked down at him curiously. "When was the first?"

Shadow looked back in his memory. "Well, at metal harbor on that island, you confused me for Sonic and hugged me from behind."

"Oh yeah! Sorry about that!" Amy then hopped up and pulled Shadow up. "Help me find Sonic and you can have the bat. Deal?"

"No."

Amy stuttered and looked at him with surprise. "W-what!?"

"I said no. I'm looking for Rouge for business, not for a dating service." Shadow then walked off.

"Don't you want to know where she lives!?"

"Not really."

"Two houses down on the right!!" Amy's voice called down the street before fading away.

~*~

Rouge walked in and saw Shadow sitting on her couch. She screamed and dropped her bag of shopping. "What the hell?!"
