Chapter Five

Amy walked along the path with Shadow, sighing every so often. The sighs were getting on Shadow's nerves, but he wasn't going to say anything to the pink hedgehog; she was nervous enough as it was. Shadow didn't even know why he was walking her to Tails' workshop in the first place. Amy wasn't going to let him leave her at the door either. Amy sighed again and Shadow's patience snapped

"What!" Amy jumped at the force of Shadow's outburst.

"Nothing" She said quickly. Shadow sighed to himself, he knew what the faker was going to say to the pink hedgehog; he also knew it wasn't going to be what Sonic wanted to say and he also knew what Amy's reaction would be. Which is exactly why Shadow didn't want to get involved in this mess to begin with. Amy had given him the puppy dog eyes when he had refused when she first had asked him; and he cursed himself for it now, he could never say no to her emerald eyes looking so desperate. Not that he'd let Amy know the kind of power she held over him.

"I apologise" He muttered to her, seeing her more nervous wasn't going to go down well when the real situation arose. A smile graced her face and she gingerly grabbed his hand and squeezed it. Shadow looked at her questionably, but her eyes were set ahead, hand firmly gripping his. Shadow blushed a little, but tried to ignore the sensation. He was there to make sure Amy didn't kill the faker; that was his job. Amy wasn't sure herself why she had grabbed Shadow's hand, but it was settling her nerves. She knew Sonic was going to say something to annoy her to high hell, but she wanted to sort this out. Spending time away from Sonic was killing her inside; she may look strong about it all, but inside the hurt was almost too much to bear. Amy also realised that this talk with Sonic was probably going to be one sided; not something Amy was aiming for. She kept walking to Tails' workshop, hoping that Sonic would be there and not out running. Amy went to sigh again, but a squeeze from Shadow's hand warned her against it. Amy looked up at the hedgehog next to her and gave him a huge smile.

"Thankyou" She said, earning a confused look from the onyx hedgehog.

"Why?"

"For being supportive. It means a lot to me" She said, her eyes filling with tears. Shadow gave her a small smile before he looked ahead again; trying to get Amy to her destination before he whisked her away from even trying to talk sense into the hard-headed hero.

Sonic stared at the little fox in amusement as he tried to explain the significance of flowers. Of course Sonic knew, but seeing Tails get so worked up over something Charmy went crazy over was very amusing to the cobalt hero. Sonic knew Tails was close to giving up on explaining everything, when there were things that Sonic had no clue about.

"Buddy, I know about flowers" Sonic explained, Tails' Tails bristled in annoyance.

"What do you want to know?" Tails asked seriously. He may not have been romantically involved with anyone, but he was a genius.

"Well there's not much you haven't told me" Sonic said truthfully "But anything else you have to say would be a huge bonus" Tails stared at the blue hedgehog in astonishment, before shaking his head.

"All you need to know is: Don't talk about yourself all the time and pay for things" Tails sighed "Presents are good too" Sonic's face lit up.

"Like jewellery?" He asked; the small fox nodded before he smacked his head on his hand in fake shock. Sonic laughed at his friend; sill laughing he looked out of the window and stopped laughing immediately. Tails watched Sonic's lips purse in anger. Tails looked towards the window and his eyes widened. He placed his hand on Sonic's arm

"I'm sure it's not what it seems" Tails nodded but Sonic wasn't listening, his eyes were trained on the two figures coming towards Tails' workshop hand-in-hand

"Shadow" Sonic's voice was filled with hate for his rival; he stood up and walked to the door awaiting the inevitable confrontation.

Amy let go of Shadow's hand as they got closer to the workshop. With a quick smile to the onyx hedgehog, she marched forward to the door, looking back once to make sure Shadow was still there. Amy rapped her knuckles on the door and stepped back. She was surprised when Sonic opened the door and stood in the doorway; glaring at the hedgehog behind her.

"Sonikku" Amy called him his pet name and Sonic passed his glare to her

"What?" He spat. Amy's eyes widened in shock. What was up his ass? She gave him a confused look "Come to rub my face in it?"

"In what Sonikku?"

"You know what!" He spat "Your 'involvement' with Shadow" his glare went back to the crimson eyed hedgehog. Amy almost laughed

"We're just friends. Nothing more" Amy said giving the irate blue hedgehog a huge loving smile. Sonic folded his arms a gave a short disbelieving shrug

"Then why were you two holding hands?"
