But before that sequel, I'm going to reward my readers a humor story (not a oneshot thank god) coming up, called: I-Pod Madness! Thanks!
Chapter 10: Bye Shadow (Love triangle goodness!)
Amy poked her head out of her kitchen doorway, holding a bowl of cake mix, and giggled at the sight of the two hedgehogs biting each other. As she looked down at her at her clothes and slightly frowned at the sight of her still wearing her 'depression' clothes.
"Hey guys, I need to do something real quick!" Amy said while skipping to her room down the same hallway of the kitchen.
Amy didn't tell them exactly what she was going to do; she wanted to surprise them in a new outfit.
Sonic and Shadow stopped all of a sudden, still in their tangle on the ground from fighting and lifted up their heads as they stared at the happily skipping Amy until she disappeared to her room, their eyes followed her. Shadow was confused at why they stopped so suddenly and Sonic was getting cross-eyed from being so lustful towards Amy. Sonic and Shadow got up at the same time, brushing away invisible dirt.
Shadow mumbled something about an idiot named Sonic and sat down on a sofa opposite of Sonic, while Sonic mocked Shadow in a high-pitched voice about being hotter than him and sat across from Shadow.
Shadow was so bored he decided to look around the room. There were, surprisingly, cream leather sofas (Shadow is on one) and pictures of Amy and her friends everywhere. The room was painted fuchsia which kind of burned Shadow's eyes, but he knew he had to go through anything if he wanted to keep Sonic away from Amy. Anyways, the room was decorated with flowers that she had bought herself, but the one that Shadow bought for her stood out the most.
Shadow noticed Sonic was taking his surroundings, too.
"My roses are better than yours, Sonic!" Shadow said tauntingly.
"Mine cost 100 rings! Yours looks cheap!"
"For your information mine cost more than 99,999 rings!" Shadow tried making it sound expensive as he could. Sonic couldn't think of a comeback because he was stupid.
They glared at each other for another second than snapped their heads away their faces were angry as they stared at the fuchsia wall.
Meanwhile, with Amy…
Amy's master bedroom was pink of course, her bed filled with Sonic plushies and a fluffy blue blanket and pillows that she would cuddle up with every night. Sonic posters were hung up and covered nearly every other inch of her pink room. She had 2 large windows at one side of her room and opposite of that was the master bathroom.
Amy was digging furiously into her dresser with only her undergarments on.
'Where is that outfit?' She thought to herself. Finally she found it and did a quiet "Aha! I knew this opposite day outfit would come in handy!"
Flashback:
Sonic did a prank to the gullible Knuckles that today is going to be opposite day.
"If I find out you're lying I'm going to…" Knuckles started threatening.
"Don't worry, Knux! Amy and I are gonna prove it is opposite day…! Right Ames…?" Sonic held up his hands in front of his face, whimpering.
Amy was still deeply in love with Sonic and did everything he wanted for her to do like a trained hedgehog. So she nodded slowly and dashed off to the mall to get some gothic dress.
She came back to the same spot that she last saw Knuckles and saw him standing there, coated in yellow paint, his trademark crescent upside-down, and his face was full of messy make-up that he stole from Rouge when she left her purse at Angel Island…
End Flashback
Amy sighed in relief and turned around to see a yawning Shadow, his eyes closed, not seeing her half-naked…yet.
Amy prayed a thank you and was about to walk away when Shadow said dully,
"I'm hungry…" Then he opened his eyes and looked at Amy on the floor clutching some outfit.
Shadow just stared at her, while Amy looked furious, but blushed as red as a cherry.
"Jesus, Shadow! Can't you KNOCK!"
Shadow's nose stared to bleed as he slowly, maybe an inch per 10 seconds, closed the door in front of him, still staring at Amy through the peek until it finally shut close. He sped down the hallway into the living room again and sat down shaking all over, traumatized.
"That…was weird…" Amy said to herself before trying to take off her socks.
Amy flinched a split-second later when Shadow blurted, or bellowed with his deep voice,
"Amy's na-nak-na…"Amy could hear his voice fade out, but she heard Sonic say jokingly, "Sorry, I don't speak Japanese anymore, people said I don't deserve to be that cool…" Then Shadow calmed down and yelled at him,
"SHE"S NAKED YOU IDIOT! Or half-naked…"
Sonic yelled excitedly, "What!" ignoring the last part.
Amy cursed to herself after she heard Sonic's eager response; as she tried to put on her outfit as fast as she could, but she couldn't even pick it up before Sonic came in.
A panting Sonic was drooling, his nose also bleeding, onto the floor.
"Soooonikku! Not on the floor! I just vacuumed it!"
Sonic ignored her and just stared at her lustfully his chest heaving with eagerness. Just then Shadow came tackling into Sonic like a football player, hurtling Sonic over Amy's head and crashing into the wall opposite of Shadow. Sonic slid down from the wall onto the floor, groaning in pain and crouching in a weird position.
Shadow smirked evilly as he took slow drama-steps towards the wounded Sonic. Amy just sat looking horrified and unable to move. She wasn't able to get mad at Shadow for hurting Sonic, but Sonic got up and started homing attacking the ebony hedgehog… which had gone over the line for Amy.
Truthfully she liked Shadow more than Sonic, but she didn't realize that herself.
"Hey! Not in the house, Sonikku!" Amy stood up in front of Shadow, still half-naked, her arms spread out on her left and right as if to protect Shadow from being hurt anymore.
Shadow slightly turned pink and looked down at his hover shoes to avoid seeing her pink lacy underwear.
Sonic jumped back before hitting Amy and pouted ignorantly, blushing at the nude hedgehog… and staring at her chest rather than her face. He gaped at her matching pink lacy bra.
Shadow noticed by his weird 'shadow' senses and looked up and glared over Amy's shoulder at Sonic and stuck his tongue out at him.
"Okay! That's enough with the two of you! Fight again, and you're outta here!"
Amy snapped her fingers to reveal a threatening Piko Piko hammer and placed it under Sonic's chin threateningly. Sonic's ears drooped and he recoiled in fear, but he was still blushing madly.
"Now… Shadow, I guess you're hungry, but first…
LET ME GET INTO CLOTHES!"
Amy yelled at Shadow's face before Sonic and Shadow sped out of her room into the kitchen as fast as they could, startled to hell.
Amy walked back to where she was and bent over to pick up her outfit from the floor. She dusted it with her hand before putting it on. She went to her master room bathroom to admire the details with the heart-shaped, lined with pink, mirror. Just so you know, her bathroom was a dodger blue color, which would always remind her of Sonic.
It was another dress almost like her red one, but it was black with a dark tint of red embroidery laces at the bottom and around the neck. The dress went down to the lower part of her ankle and covered up what was going to be half of her boots.
Amy opened one of her bathroom drawers to reveal a matching black headband with a fake red rose glued to one side. She put it on and marveled at her looks.
She opened another drawer filled with priceless jewelry that she had hidden away from Rouge. She separated out a ruby beaded necklace and long stainless black earrings. She didn't bother taking out a ring because she was planning to ask Sonic to marry her again. Amy giggled at the thought, but then her mind wandered out to Shadow.
'Shadow…he's so extraordinary…" Amy shrugged it off and decided to make Sonic jealous by flirting with Shadow.
She went back to her room and took out black boots from her closet. Again, it looked like her original red boots only mostly black with a red stripe. If you hadn't noticed she kept her black gloves on.
'I never thought I looked so good being the opposite! Ah well…"
Amy skipped down the hallway towards the kitchen.
Shadow and Sonic were sitting at her small round kitchen table until they heard Amy giggling at the doorway, leaning against it seductively. Shadow and Sonic instantly turned pink.
Amy walked by Shadow towards her cooking and purposely brushed against him, which gave him shivers running up and down is spine.
"Oh sorry, Shadow…didn't mean to…," Amy rubbed a hand soothingly on his arm up and down repeatedly as if she thought she hurt him, "….make you so uncomfortable,"
She finished the last part soothingly soft in his ear, but Sonic was able to hear. She smirked mischievously.
Shadow had a chill run up and down his spine with every stroke of her arm. Sonic was already standing up, his chair fallen from his anger and his face red and fuming.
"Well, I'm going to finish whatever I started, right Shadow?" Amy cooed the last part quietly in his ear. Shadow gulped nervously thinking about something else.
Amy stopped stroking him and turned back to her cooking where she sang music that sounded almost like Rouge's theme songs in SA2B that had constant moaning, or something, in it. This perked up Sonic and Shadow's ears as they tried to listen to Amy's singing, which to them, sounded like wind chimes on a quiet, sunny day.
Shadow was stiff and staring at the wall in front of him. Sonic still stood there, too mad to move even though her singing soothed them.
After Amy finished cooking dinner she served it out in front of Shadow. Mostly at Shadow's part of the table and not Sonic's. She tied a napkin bib around Shadow, but he didn't notice because he was drooling at the sight of the food in front of him.
In only an hour Amy had prepared a seafood buffet! With steamed and garlic shrimp and steaming leek buns. Grilled Red Snapper and Grouper were stuffed with white steamed rice and served with refreshing lemongrass. A shrimp cocktail pan including a dipping sauce was set closest to him and Snow Crab was in pieces already, its white meat shown visibly, juices dripping from its succulent vitamins. Amy had also given Shadow a strawberry martini with a bit of wine in it and a sliced strawberry to top it all off, but she gave Sonic plain water. (A/N: You are probably wondering why I know this stuff, I cook.)
Sonic was sitting down again and leaned over looking for any chili dogs. Sonic's stomach growled in disappointment as he drank his cup of water.
"Hey Ames? Got any chili dogs here? I'm hungry too," Sonic asked rudely.
"Oh yeah, sure!" She replied as she made her way towards her pink refrigerator.
'Now's my chance!' Amy thought deviously as she took out a quantity of 3 month-expired chili dogs from the refrigerator. She was only doing this to have fun of course, but she didn't know that her heart just liked Shadow more and Sonic deserves the worst.
"Here, Sonikku! Enjoy!" Amy was expecting to see a mess when she would turn around to see Shadow, but…, "How's your dinner Shadow?" Amy practically threw the chili dogs at Sonic and hastily turned to Shadow clasping her hands, her eyes sparkling with admiration. The table was still sparkly when she last cleaned up the table where Shadow sat.
"It's great Amy, I love your cooking," Shadow said with politeness as he ate with manners. He even used a fork and knife to eat his shrimp cocktail, and wiped his muzzle gently with his napkin. But he had too much manners…
"Hey faker? Could you please pass the Grouper?"
"No way, fraud!" Sonic declined throwing in another chili dog in his mouth and licking his fingers with no manners whatsoever.
Shadow was about to yell at him before Amy placed down the Grouper closer to him.
"Thanks Amy," Shadow said not even looking at her but staring dangerously at Sonic.
Sonic was about to swallow in his last chili dog in his mouth before his stomach grumbled disdainfully and painfully. Sonic groaned in pain clutching his stomach while Amy and Shadow's eyes glittered with amusement at his pain.
"Gotta go!" Sonic ran to the bathroom, with a full mouth, really fast after opening 3 other doors to find it. 5 minutes later Amy and Shadow were aware of hearing Sonic barfing or having…
"So… mind if you pass a shrimp, Shadow?" Amy tried to interrupt the gross sounds that were coming from the bathroom. Shadow nodded and gave her a single shrimp. Amy didn't take it with her hands, though, she motioned him to hand feed her. Shadow sighed rolling his eyes and carefully brought it up to her mouth.
Amy licked it slowly and lustfully looking at Shadow while she did so, making sure Shadow was looking, and indeed he was!
Shadow was breathing hard, his head full of a million thoughts until he couldn't take it anymore. Shadow stood up suddenly, as Amy looked at him in confusion. He shoved the shrimp into her mouth unconsciously in muffled emotions; his heart feeling like it was tearing up from loving her or trying to be himself (Dark, non-loving, merciless, etc.).
Amy, her mouth full, swallowed it painfully and pulled Shadow's arm to sit down. Shadow glared at her as she desperately tried to make him sit again, she knew what was coming. He refused and replied,
"I… can't be here anymore…" Shadow's chest was in pain because of his heart and he was gaining a headache from his mixed-up feelings.
"But… my promise! I need you! Y-you can't l-leave m-me!" Amy was on the brink of bursting into tears and her breath was shuddering slightly. Shadow sat down again and wiped them away looking into her bright apple-green eyes.
"And I will keep that promise, Amy. I will be there when you need me and want me, but you will not know it. Trust me, I will be there. Amy Rose, I will see you again…" And with that Shadow sped out of the house slamming the door with his turbulence before Amy could even take a breath.
Amy had burst into tears, thrashing around as she did so. She shoved the feast off the table angrily, not caring if it crashed onto the floor in pieces. She put her head on her hands and sobbed loudly as Sonic came into the kitchen.
"Whoa, what happened here Amy? And where's Shadow? He didn't do this did he? Oh, I'm going to soooo kill him!" Sonic said starting to clean up the mess with a nearby dust pan.
"N-no! Shadow…! P-please!" Amy shuddered between breaths as she calmed down.
"Hey, it's okay. Shadow… left didn't he?" Sonic took her by the shoulders in reassurance that he was there to understand.
"Yes…" Amy sighed, "You've run away more than him, but this time…it's…different…"
Sonic smirked and lifted her chin to where both of their eyes were leveled, "Hey, you still got me!" He said with perkiness, which kind of annoyed Amy now.
"Sonic…get out… you don't understand!"
"What?"
"I SAID GET OUT!" Amy pointed the way to the door for him angrily.
"If you say so Ames," Sonic shrugged it off as if everything that just happened didn't occur and jogged out the door, surprisingly, closing it behind him.
Amy ran to her room and on the bed, crying her heart out into the night. Silence was not a virtue for that night and all that morning.
Epilogue coming soon! Remember! The more reviews, the longer the chapter! Epilogue may be only 4 pages, sorry! (HINT) Knuckles and Rouge! Knuckles is sharing?
