She's not the same. I didn't mean to do it. I really didn't. Now she's gone. With them. Glaring at me. And he's staring at her like I want to.. ShadAmySonic.

I only own the play and most of the characters used in it, and also, I own Karou.

Black Shaded Roses

You guys are going to hate Shun even more after you get to read his 'surprise' here. Also because he caused the result! Probably me too because I thought it up!

Also, thanks for reviewing, guys. I had the rest of my heart torn last night and had felt literally empty. I felt like dying, and might of tried to if I hadn't read my email. I'm serious. Guys get you to trust them, then they tear your heart. I always tell myself that, and after 5 or 6 times, you'd think I learn..

Anyways, enjoy or hate the chapter.

Tomorrow Morning

--x

Amy walked into Shun's house at 5:21 AM. He was up waiting for her.

" Hello, Shun. " she replied cheerily, smiling. He grumbled half a response back to her. The pink hedgehog went into 'her' room upstairs, took a shower, covered up everything, and put on her clothes and make-up. She then packed a bag full of things and her backpack for school. She walked downstairs, humming.

" Come at lunch. "

" Mmkay. " she patted him on the head.

" Breakfast's in the nook. " he nodded. Half-asleep, he was MUCH nicer, ne?

She walked out of the door, and over to Cream's. She knocked, and Vanilla answered the door.

" Come to walk with Cream today? " she eyes Amy's bag as she sensed the pink hedgehog nod.

" Um.. What is the bag for, pray tell? " she asked politely, but was obviously curious.

" Vanilla.. can.. can I stay with you guys for a while? " the said rabbit looked mildly surprised, but smiled warmly.

" Of course. Cream should be down any moment. She's getting her things. " It was now 6:00 AM

A few minutes later, the young rabbit walked down, but jumped back when she came face-to-face with her best friend, Amy Rose.

" Erm.. hello? "

" Hi Cream. I'm staying with you for a while. Is.. that alright? "

" Of course! " Cream exclaimed, poking Amy in the ribs.

" You two better get going. " Vanilla chided. Both nodded, shouldering their schoolbags.

They both walked out of the house side-by-side. The pink hedgehog watched her shoes with a sudden curious fascination.

' Don't worry.. '? If only he knew.. she mused as the young doe watched her with curiousity filling their amber-brown shade.

" Ames? " No response from her friend.

" Ames? " only the shuffling of their feet were heard.

" Ames? " ..crickets.

" AMY ROSE! " Finally, she looked up.

" What? "

" Gods, girl. I've been calling your name. We're at school. "

" Oh. " Amy grinned sheepishly as Cream laughed.

" Shadow, hand me the paper! " she poked him in the ribs.

" Hmm.. " he put a gloved finger to his chin. " No. "

" Aw, c'mon! " Amy whined, reaching up.

" Fine, fine. Stop blubbering like a baby. " she stuck her tongue out at him.

She read the formula, then suddenly, was in deep concentration, mixing the chemicals together at 67 degrees F.

How the hell does she do that? asked the black and cerise hedgehog within his mind. She finished just as the bell rang for lunch.

" Good job Amy. Shadow, I need to have a word with you. "

" Um.. okay? "

--x

Amy walked home, humming to herself. In every class she had with Shadow, they talked and played around. The teachers couldn't do anything, because they wanted their heads and their body heat. Also, the two were the best students in school besides Cream (who somehow manages to get excellent grades though she skips a lot), Tails, Karou, and a few other unimportant furries.

She entered the dark house.

" Shun? " she called out. He appeared, smiling.

" Here. " he held out a present, wrapped in hot pink paper with a black ribbon.

" Oh, Shun! Thanks. " she smiled, holding the present close.

" Open it when you get to school, 'kay? I'm embarrassed.. "

" Alright. " she thought nothing of it, but rather walked back to school.

She sat under her tree. For some odd reason, Shadow was still with the Chemistry teacher. She held the present in her lap, then decided to open it now. Amy smiled gently as she unwrapped it, folding the paper and bow neatly. Hey, getting a gift from Shun is very rare! To her delight, the gift was a black robo-kitty with hot pink stripes.

" Wai! " she whipered, just staring at it. It's eyes then opened, revealing two ruby red orbs. Then, strangely, it's mouth opened, revealing a clock.

But, why is it going down like a timer? OH SHIT! It's a bomb.. wait.. I can't move! Move body, MOVE!

" This will self-destruct in 5.. 4... 3.. 2... " Suddenly, she was in someone's arms, and was being carried away as the cat exploded, so largely that the ground shook for a few seconds.

By the time she opened her eyes, expecting either Sonic or Shadow before, she realized it wasn't either. It was Karou.

" Amy, are you okay? " his eyes and voice were concerned, but Amy only saw a blur afterwards as her world went black.
