Chapter 9: A Rose for You and Me

Sonic tapped his foot impatiently while leaning against Amy's porch. It had been only 5 minutes since he had started waiting, but 5 minutes was just way too long for Sonic. He looked down at his right hand that held the bouquet of pink roses.

'I hope this works… Wait… who am I kidding? She still likes me! Right…?'

Sonic frowned, but continued being in his 'happy place', so he continued to wait impatiently for her.

(Shadow… SPLEE!)

Shadow appeared brightly out of thin air from his chaos control at the lake, and stared curiously at the best florist shop open at night time. He read from the signs from outside that most roses cost from 100 rings to 100,000 rings. Shadow almost choked at the highest price, but he shrugged it off and entered the door of the best florist shop in the state (Yes…a State, not the florist Sonic went to).

The room was amazingly decorated with purple and pink and garden whirligigs spun around next to a miniature battery-operated fan. Shadow folded his arms and raised an eyebrow at the cashier, who looked a little bit intimidated by Shadow's gaze.

"Hmph," Shadow just plainly responded.

"Er… what can I do for you, sir, or hedgehog…?" The florist asked nervously.

"Give me the best you got and quick or I'll snap your head off!" Shadow snapped, not much of a threaten, but he was getting impatient already…

"Sure hold on…" Shadow scoffed and glared at the florist as the man turned around to open the door to a back room and closed it gently behind him.

Shadow started clenching his fist, even though it had only been 5 seconds, until the man came out carrying a bouquet of flowers, but to where Shadow could not see it right away.

"Our best…is not priced anywhere in this store…, but I'm sure it's worth it!" The florist handed Shadow the bouquet of roses. The man held a worried expression as he watched Shadow examine the roses.

The roses were beyond beauty, spectacular in different colors and it sparkled like fresh dew on a spider-web. The rose's main colors were purple, or as people say 'black'. Its stem was thorn-less and the color of a dark forest green and felt like silk. Shadow rubbed a finger softly against the petals. He could even describe them as light as a feather and softer than silk. Velvet.

"What kind of rose is this? And how much does it cost?"

"It is one of the rarest. The Diamond Black Rose. Said to only grow in a hidden cave to where only our manager knows where! It's quite a beauty, I tell ya. It's made out of diamond-like minerals and thrives upon velvet-like water. Truly impossible to find," He pointed out, "I'd have to say…it's worth a priceless tag, but I'll give it you for 110,000 rings."

"What! Tell me one good reason why I should get this!" Shadow spat at him angrily, "Your highest price was to be 100,000!"

"Oh, but It's worth it! I heard from our boss that it can make whoever you give this rose to fall in love to her giver! No rules and 100 guaranteed!"

"Fine, I'll take it." Shadow reached into his quills and took out a whole box full of ten thousands of rings. He also took off the rings on his wrist and ankles that are worth 10,000 each. He practically threw them at the cashier who only grinned greedily and caught them as he threw them at him.

After giving the cashier a death glare he stepped out the store and breathed in deeply, exhaling softly. He held the bouquet carefully and professionally-looking and took out his chaos emerald, again, calling a chaos control.

(Amy…boo jk jk)

Amy was still at the lake and was left on the grass where Shadow and she had once been. She sat up sleepily and looked around her. She looked around hopefully to see Shadow next to her. Realizing he left she sighed and was about to stand up when a blinding flash of light appeared in front of her. Gasping she stumbled back and shielded her eyes from the light. When the light vanished she gazed up at Shadow who stood tall in front of her. She peered around his back noticing he was hiding something. Shadow, noticing that she was being nosey, snatched the roses somewhere else so she wouldn't see.

"What'cha got there, Shadow?"

Shadow just smirked and bent down holding out to her the Diamond Roses.

Amy's eyes sparkled and turned big as doughnuts as she stared at the roses, but then she thought of something else.

'Shadow couldn't have gotten these for me! They are way too valuable. He couldn't have possibly—'

"Well? Aren't you going to take it?"

"Oh my gosh, Shadow! I-I don't k-know w-what t-to say!" Amy stuttered out of happiness.

Shadow noticed that she was too stunned to take the roses so he stood up straight again and looked down at the pink hedgehog.

"It's getting late…mind to have a walk?" Shadow said coolly.

"Oh that's fine I guess. I'm sure Sonic…" Amy trailed off quietly, "Oh yes! I'm very sure!"

Shadow offered her a hand and Amy took it and got up. Shadow gave her the roses now that she had not been dazed anymore and sure took it carefully with an innocent smile so wide that it would make Shadow feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

"Hey Amy…? I feel warm… and fuzzy…"

"Sicko!" Amy playfully punched him and held onto his arm as they walked down the sidewalk to her house.

The stars above twinkled happily, reflecting the mood of Amy and the dark violet sky reminded Amy of Shadow's mysterious ways. Although, as much as she wanted to ask Shadow about himself, she liked Shadow the way he was. Dark and mysterious…

(Sonic…BOO! Not joking, I don't really like him)

Sonic squinted his eyes at a small pink figure walking along the sidewalk to his direction and looking up at the sky and holding onto something for some odd reason. He didn't notice Shadow walking beside her since his fur matched the night surroundings. He stopped practicing kissing with a pillow and picked up the roses. Sonic decided to wait until she came up for a dramatic effect. Well, who knows? Sonic is dumb.

Amy reached the porch first, dragging along a quiet Shadow. Sonic and Shadow gave each other a threatening death glare and Sonic hastily stuck the roses in Amy's face, not realizing she was holding onto Shadow and already had roses in her hands because he was glaring at Shadow at the same time.

Sonic stuck his tongue out at him while Shadow started snapping his teeth at his face.

"Um… Hello! Oh and Sonic, I can't breathe!" She sneezed and pushed away the flowers from her nose.

Sonic didn't mind her, but he threw the 100-ring-worth roses behind him and tried to punch Shadow in the face while Shadow tried to bite his hand until Amy held Sonic back by the arms.

"Hey quit it Sonic! Leave him alone!" Amy said defensively.

"You should be saying that to Shadow!" Sonic tried to throw another punch, but Shadow just bit his pinkie. Sonic howled like a dog while he sucked out his pinkie.

'Heh Heh… fucknuts' Sonic thought while he took out a knife out of nowhere.

"Whatever."

Shadow said slapping Sonic's face before he could move. Sonic screamed high-pitched like a girl and stood his battle stance ready to do a homing attack on Shadow. Shadow was about to take his chaos emerald to do who-knows-what!

Amy sweat dropped and opened the door to her house; beckoning the fighting duo in, well…she still liked Sonic and hoped that they would stop for the sake of her house. Sonic immediately nodded eagerly so he could win Amy back while Shadow just shrugged.

"I'm hungry…," Shadow grumbled.

"Eat a pig, you pig!" Sonic sneered at him.

"Get a life you, bitch! You're a hog, too!" Shadow said shoving him away.

Amy grabbed Sonic before he fell and pushed him inside, along with Shadow. She closed the door behind her a sighed. Amy looked up and glared at the two, Sonic who looked at her seductively, and Shadow who frowned because he was hungry.

"Aw, Shadow! Are you hungry? I'll make something for ya!" Amy trotted happily to her kitchen and came quickly back out with a crystal vase filled with water and put the Diamond Roses in it. She placed the vase in a position to where everyone could see it, including an idiot… who was unfortunately Sonic.

Amy skipped back to her kitchen to sing while she cooked. Sonic was staring dumbfounded at the roses, his mouth agape.

"What…the…hell! SHADOW!" Sonic screeched and launched himself onto Shadow, trying to bite off every piece of 'Shadow' he could find.

"Damn! I thought I was hungry, but you are being GAY AND hungry!" Shadow struggled to keep himself into shape.

Knuckles and Rouge:

Knuckles was awake now, staring at the sleeping beauty beyond him. With a flip of his heart, he thought he saw Rouge twitch arousingly.

Rouge slowly opened her eyes and yawned un-lady-like, as if she were not in a coma. Knuckles didn't question this, seeing as he is so gullible, and smiled cheerfully at Rouge, who smiled back.

"Morning, Knucklehead,"

"Morning," Knuckles tried to hide his excited voice with just a mumble.

Rouge sat up and flinched, looking down she saw herself out of her jumpsuit and bandaged up from torso to her ankles.

"I hope the doctors didn't do this," Rouge pointed at her bandages and looked out the window at the daytime light while birds twittered by singing happily, she could have sworn two birds were having—

"Nah, I wouldn't let them. I told them I would do anything that was related to your…"

"Body?" Rouge finished for him knowing he would have been embarrassed, "Well, I'd rather have you do it than them!" She cooed at him and who blushed but gave her a glare because she was flirting at him again.

"I love this room. I could stay here forever…"

"Er, yeah about that. Hope you like it," Knuckles raised an eyebrow at her.

Rouge looked back at him and stared straight into his eyes, "It reminds me of your eyes…" but she didn't say it seductively or flirtatious, she said it almost lovingly.

Knuckles cupped her face gently in his hands lastly gazing into her aqua eyes. Slowly closing their eyes, they both reached in for a stormy kiss. Rouge who loved to be dominant wrapped her arms around Knuckle's neck and leaned over the bed and over Knuckles, playing dominant.

Knuckles, although, noticed and he grabbed her off the bed and swung her down on the floor while Knuckles got on top of her. Rouge winced at the pain but she surrendered to Knuckle's dominance and they both slowed down to a romantic kiss. Tongues entwining and everything…

Cream and Tails came barging into the room snickering and pointing at Rouge and Knuckles.

Cream who was now 7 had gone through enough to be mature and her voice was slightly lower, but she couldn't help but laugh at the 'Oh so strong Knuckles' kissing violently the 'Oh so seductive Rouge'.

Tails looked at Cream who had stopped laughing and had pulled out a camera pointing at the now glaring echidna and bat. Knuckles was on top of Rouge in such a weird position. Knuckles, sprawled all over Rouge's body, while Rouge had her legs wide apart and her arms clinging onto his neck.

Knuckles took out his shovel claws and Rouge attached on her pick nails. Tails let out a shrill scream before dragging away Cream and him out the hospital, but that was after Cream got a good shot at the stormy kiss.

"Yoo-hoo! E-bay here I come!" Cream yelled excitedly not realizing that Tails was dragging her on her butt across the cement.

Meanwhile Rouge and Knuckles threw away their weapons aside and continued their kiss anyway.
