Chapter Seven
Shadow looked at Amy, he didn't want to help the blue hedgehog, but he had given his word, well, as good as. Shadow knew he shouldn't be interfering, but it would be nice to see the pink hedgehog happy. She didn't know the onyx hedgehog was staring at her, contemplating on talking to her and telling her how the blue hero really felt about her. He didn't know how to tell her, he didn't know their history either. Shadow smirked
"What did he do to make you try and forget him?" He asked; he saw Amy's shoulders tighten. Amy turned to the crimson eyed hedgehog with a glare
"It doesn't matter" She said, giving him a hard look. Shadow rolled his eyes
"It does" Shadow said matter-of-fact, Amy sighed
"Fine! He missed about twenty dates he'dset up and he ignores me all the time" She blurted out in anger, Shadow frowned; Sonic wanted his help because he had messed the pink hedgehog around for years? Shadow couldn't believe Sonic could be so stupid, but he had promised to help. Shadow held his head; he didn't know what to do. Why were things so difficult? Amy came and sat next to the dark hedgehog and rested her head on his shoulder. "It's not fair" Shadow nodded, but inside he was cursing the blue hedgehog for making him help.
"You know, maybe keeping your distance then trying to start again may help" Shadow said, mentally hitting himself. Amy lifted her head off from his shoulder and he knew she couldn't believe what he had just said.
"I... I don't know. You mean date other people until I'm ready to talk to him again?" She said, Shadow shrugged in reply
"I suppose" They sat in silence for a few minutes before Amy turned to look at the black hedgehog.
"Why so many questions?" Shadow shrugged
"Just curious"

Sonic couldn't contain the worry that had built up after Shadow had left. What if he had told Amy lies about him? Or told Amy that he himself liked her? He had been pacing back and forth from the window, waiting for Shadow to come back from talking to Amy. He knew there was a possibility of Shadow asking Amy about their past, but Sonic didn't see anyway that could matter; well only if she'd made things sound worse than they actually were. Sonic couldn't handle just waiting for the onyx hedgehog; he had to do something to take away his impatience. Running was always a good way to get rid of his impatience, but he didn't want to not be here when Shadow returned. Maybe running would kill the time? Sonic held his head in his hands, why was waiting so difficult for him? Running seemed like best option, so that's what he did. He walked to the outside of Tails' workshop, stretched his leg muscles and sped off towards the forest.

Shadow walked away from Amy's house, mind spinning with what she had told him. Sonic had missed twenty dates with the pink hedgehog. Twenty. Shadow shook his head and continued to walk towards Tails' workshop, he didn't feel like running merely because it would be quicker and Shadow wanted to milk all the time he had. He didn't know why he had agreed to do the blue hedgehog's 'dirty work' so easily. It pained him to see, what he would say was his only friend, so upset over one little thing. Walking through the forest of the Mystic Ruins, Shadow only had Amy on his mind. She was trying to be strong but he knew she was depressed. She obviously loved the blue hedgehog, who Shadow now knew didn't deserve her affections. Walking out into the open space in front of Tails' workshop, Shadow wondered if he was doing the right thing. Shrugging the feeling off, he strode towards the little workshop. Reaching the door of Tails' pride and joy he knocked twice. He heard the owner of the house curse softly before the door opened revealing an oil covered fox.
"Shadow?" Shocked, the little fox didn't quite know why the onyx hedgehog was on his doorstep, but he knew one thing: he didn't trust him. Shadow barged by the fox and looked around. "Sonic's not here" Tails said "...And come in" He muttered quietly to himself. He shut the door slowly, just incase Shadow attacked
"Good. I came to talk to you" Shadow said turning to glare at the little fox with his crimson eyes. Tails gulped "Do you think it is a good idea for the faker and the pink hedgehog to get together?" Tails looked flabbergasted at the dark hedgehog in front of him. Did Shadow really expect him to answer that? Tails shrugged
"It'll make them both happier, so I'll say yes" Tails answered, keeping his eyes on the hostile hedgehog. To Tails' surprise the onyx hedgehog let out a long sigh. "Why?" Shadow frowned and Tails took a step towards the door.
"I was just wondering if you would help me out" Shadow asked, keeping the frown firmly on his face
"To do what Shadow?" Tails wondered
"Get the two together"

Amy stared at the variety of soups in front of her. She had hoped that she had some at home, but she unfortunately didn't have a thing. Which got her into the situation she was currently in, she glared at the soups expecting them to cower back and leave the brave one to be bought and devoured.
"Having some trouble?" A male voice caught her attention; she turned her head to see a purple hedgehog with blue eyes standing behind her, a smirk on his face. Amy shook her head
"No thank you" She said politely. She took in the purple hedgehog's dress; he was wearing black boots and a black leather jacket that trailed along the floor. Amy thought he looked gorgeous, but she wasn't here for that so she turned her head back to the soups.
"What's your name?" He asked, grabbing her attention again
"Amy" She said, falling into the hard to break habit of giving her name out.
"Hi Amy, I'm Greg"

Oooh Another love interest? And sorry it's short! Next Time: Sonic and Shadow meet Greg and he isn't all he's cracked up to be...
