Amy's House
Everything was set up. Blaze and Riko moved the cherry wood coffee table so the girls could have more room. Rouge Amy and Sally got all the liquor from the cabinets and Cream removed all dangerous objects from the kitchen and living room for safety measures. Tons of blankets and pillows were formed into a circle on the floor with extras on the sectional. The choices of liquor were vodka, tequila, and rum. Riko grabbed the shot glasses and the fun was ready to begin.
"So who goes first?" Blaze asked, getting comfortable on the castle of pillows.
"Well since it IS Amy's house she should go first. House rules." Rouge reasoned.
Amy nodded. "Ok I don't mind. Ok, Sally since this was your idea Truth or Dare?"
"W-wait!"
Everyone looked at Cream.
"I-I'm sorry, I know I agreed to play but could someone explain the rules to me first before we start please?" Cream asked cutely.
"Why sugar, no problem. You see it's like regular truth or dare but the only thing if you refuse to tell the truth or do a dare you have to take a shot of liquor. Easy as cake!" Rouge explained
"Oh ok that's simple! Please continue!"
Amy nodded again and turned to Sally. "Ok Sally, Truth or Dare?"
Rouge/Knuckles House
The guys completely discarded the videogames and focused on the pictures on the social media network.
"What are those girls doing?!" Silver screamed as he grabbed his quills looking at his girlfriend in the pool.
"Did you see Cream in that bikini? She filled out real nice~ Oh chaos I sound like a pervert!" Tails was having a breakdown as the images of the young rabbit burned in his mind.
"Dude Cream? Did you see Amy? I mean I have a girlfriend but damn! And I mean daaaaaaaaamn." Sonic voiced his opinion with a growl that caught everyone's attention. Especially a black hedgehog.
Sonic looked at everyone confused like the fun had stopped. "What?"
"Uh Sonic..I don't think you should talk about Amy like that. I mean I get it man, yeah she's good looking but dude like you said you have a girlfriend just like me. And I don't think Sally would like to hear how you're talking about another girl. Especially like that." Knuckles said real seriously.
Sonic rolled his eyes. "Dude chill! I'm not saying I would cheat on Sally for Amy! I'm just saying she's sexy as hell and you said it too so back off."
"Yeah but I didn't say it like I wanted to fuck her brains out! You even growled man! You growled!"
"I did not!"
"Yes you did! We all heard you dude. Look..I'm not gonna argue with you ok? If you're attracted to Amy that's you just don't bring us into it. I don't wanna be in the middle of your love triangle and when shit hits the fan with Sally. I don't want Rouge biting my head off because I knew about your little scandal."
Sonic growled at Knuckles but looked around to see everyone was agreeing with him.
"So you're all on his side?!"
"Sonic it's not like that man...but Knuckles has a point. Why fuck up a good thing?" Said Silver with Tails continued to nod.
Sonic plopped on the couch and clicked his teeth. "Man ya'll trippin' " Sonic got back on the game and fought the computer. None of the guys said anything else to him. Shadow faded out to the kitchen and got a glass of water. Silver came up behind him.
"You ok?" Silver asked quietly so the others wouldn't hear. Shadow turned to Silver and shrugged.
"Yeah but what's it to you?"
"Oh come on Shadow we're friends aren't we? And as friends we can be honest with each other."
"Friends is big stretch but I tolerate you. And I have nothing to be honest about with you."
"Even if I know you have a crush on a certain pink hedgehog?"
Shadow froze for a second and the next second he had his hands wrapped around Silvers throat growling. Silver held up his hands in defense.
"Whoa now, calm your quills. Don't want the others to hear us do you? I just wanna talk."
Shadow let Silver go and turned away from him before speaking again. "How did you know?..."
"Dude it was kinda obvious 5 years ago and you definitely made it clear when you saw that video of her twerking."
Shadow growled at him and snapped his head back to him. "How so?"
"Dude your nose bled like a fountain in there."
Shadow huffed and looked down in defeat.
"So..you like her? If you do, I won't say anything to anyone. Not that I have to.." he mumbled the last part.
Shadow stayed quiet. His mind went back to photos of her. To her smile.
"Shadow? Do you?"
Shadow turned to look at the clear night sky and full moon. "Yeah."
Back at Amy's
Sally looked at her friends with a cringe who had their phones out recording.
"Come on SA the sooner you do it the sooner it'll be over.~" Rouge giggled.
"Yeah come on or you could take a shot if you don't wanna.~" Amy buttered.
Sally growled. She picked Dare to be a badass but she didn't think Amy would do something this embarrassing to her. But she wasn't a quitter plus if she took the shot it would make her look like a wimp.
So Sally walked out into the middle of the street and screamed at the top of her lungs. "I'M SALLY ACORN AND I...SECRETLY LIKE TO BE FUCKED IN THE ASS!"
The girls squealed and Sally ran back inside the house before the Neighbors came out of their houses.
Sally jumped on the couch covering her face with a pillow. "I can't believe i did that!"
"Sooo Sally, does Sonic be eating the booty like groceries too?~" Riko purred at her and Sally turned redder. "S-Shut up!"
"Your lucky SA I don't think I've ever let my Knuckie fuck me in the ass I mean if you've seen his cock you'll understand why. The man is literally 14" and I barely-"
"ROUGE TMI!" Everyone screamed.
"Oops hehe.~ Ok Sally your turn."
Sally looked up from her pillow. "Fine, Blaze! Truth or dare?
Blaze didn't hesitate at best. "Truth."
"Ok how far have you and Silver went?"
Blaze blushed but she wasn't embarrassed of the truth. "We haven't had sex yet. We're waiting on the perfect time. We've only made out; he's fingered me and I jerked him and….. gave him blow jobs a couple of times but that's it."
"Awwwwwww!" The girls squealed.
"That's so cute!" Sally said.
Blaze blushed more. "Ok Rouge truth or dare?"
Rouge smirked with a twinkle in her eyes. "Dare! Give it to me Blaze!"
"Haha ok ok let me think." Blaze looked around at her friends and thought what she could get the bat with. Then her eyes fell on Riko. "Ok Rouge since your a big sex crazed freak let's see you prove it."
"Ok I've got stories for days!~"
"Oh no no no. You're gonna show us.~"
"Huh?"
Blaze came up to Rouge and whispered in her ear, telling her what she had to do. Rouge looked at Blaze wide eyed. "Are you serious?!"
"Hey you don't have to do it. You can take the shot."
Rouge glared at Blaze and stood up.
Rouge went to the refrigerator and got a popsicle out and came back and stood over Riko.
"Uh Rouge...what are you doing?" Riko asked, looking from her to Blaze. "Blaze what was the dare?!"
"Oh you'll see. Cream you might wanna cover your eyes for this." Blaze leans back and watches the show.
Rouge looks down at Riko and pushes her back. "I'm sorry about this Riko..just bare with it and it'll be over suga."
"Wait what?!"
Rouge pulled off Riko's pajamas bottoms; she wasn't wearing anything underneath. She spread Riko's legs open and took the popsicle and rubbed it gently against her pussy. Riko instantly jumped and tried to move away but Rouge held her down good and tight.
"C-cold! So cold! Rouge stop!"
"You'll get used to it. As soon as you cum I'll stop."
Riko was about to scream at her but Rouge sealed her lips with a kiss. After a few minutes of struggling Riko relaxed and started kissing back. This went on for a while until Riko couldn't take much more. "FUCK!" Riko screamed, her eyes flickered brightly, and she climaxed all over Rouge's hand. As that happened the electricity went off and everyone sat in darkness for a few minutes before it came back on.
Rouge licked her fingers as she watched Riko breathe hard. Rouge smirked and bowed to her wide eyed audience and grabbed the bottle of tequila. "Satisfying enough for you Blaze?~"
Blaze clapped smiling with a red blush going over her nose. Rouge took a few big gulps of tequila. "And I'm still drinking this!"
Rouge plopped on the couch and continued to drink from the bottle. Everyone was stunned from the little show Rouge put on for them. Rouge stopped drinking long enough to say; "hey blame Blaze, she dared me. But more importantly; Riko darling. Is there something you wanna tell us?"
Riko put her pj bottoms back on and fixed her hair. "Nope."
Rouge smirked and lick the half melted popsicle as she looked at the black feline. "Yeah right."
Riko rolled her eyes at her. "So you made me cum, big deal."
"No Riko not that. Do you have powers?" Sally asked full of curiosity like the others.
Riko looked at everyone with a blank expression.
Knuckles/Rouge House
The boys party was going great too. If you call chugging booze at the same time to see can finish first and not puke fun then yes they were having a blast. Knuckles thought it would be a good way to get their minds off of earlier but he didn't expect it to go down like this. Everyone, even Shadow had a bottle.
Sonic and Knuckles were arm wrestling and Tails was sorta the ref but even he couldn't hold himself straight.
Silver and Shadow were drinking in the kitchen and whispering among each other. From the look on their faces they weren't drunk. The conversation was too serious.
"Silver. I'm starting to think that maybe..just maybe; that cat was right." Shadow took another small gulp from his bottle.
Silver looked at his Conrad in confusion.
"You mean Riko? About what?"
"About having Amy testify so soon. She seems like she's perfectly fine and looks like she's restructured but...I really don't think she is."
Silver sat up closer to Shadow. "What are you talking about man? This is the only way to bring Amy justice and true peace. And she said it herself she's completely okay with this."
"You didn't see what I saw that day. At the park. I came up behind Amy and tapped her arm. And she froze up and bugged out. She started crying when she realized it was me and didn't want me to go. She kept going on and on about it wasn't my fault and I just spooked her and shit. I gave her a few minutes to collect herself and then she was like it never happened. She's not over it Silver and I don't think she ever was. She has a mask on to hide. And if she goes to court and sees that man what do you think will happen? What if she freezes up and can't talk? What if she freaks out and starts destroying everything and crying? And don't say that enough to convince the jury because they won't accept it and you know it. They want a solid clear testimony and if Amy-"
"Ok….I get what you mean. You might be right. We have to make sure she'll be ok before the trial. I'll stop by her home in the morning if she's sober enough to talk."
Shadow looked at Silver with tension. "What are you going to do?"
"Just talk."
Shadow didn't feel right about this. "I'm coming too."
Silver took a sip from his bottle and shrugged. "Sure not a problem to me. So we might wanna drink some water and get some sleep. It might be a long night."
Hearing a crash in the living room, Shadow and Silver turned to see Sonic laying in the middle of the floor between a split broken table groaning and Knuckles punching the air yelling in victory.
"A really long night."
Amy's House
The girls stared at Riko, demanding answers that she wasn't giving up. Amy spoke up quickly. "Hey let's just forget it and continue the game. No ones drunk yet, except maybe Rouge since she drank half the bottle of tequila."
Riko shrugged and held up her hands and white-blue sparks circled her fingers. "I can control lighting and ice."
The group looked at her stunned until Blaze questioned. "Ice? That's a weird combination of abilities."
"Yeah well my parents were a...weird bunch."
"But if you can control ice why did the popsicle-"
"You have a frozen treat in your damn pussy and come back and tell me how you'd handle it! I might control ice but I'm still a mobian in places. You control fire so does that mean your pussy would've melted it? Let's find out."
Blaze's face turned red and shook her head quickly. "No no I'm good thanks.."
Riko huffed and sat down. Everyone stayed silent uncomfortably.
"Cream."
"Y-yes?!" She shrinks looking at Riko.
"Truth or Dare? Let's keep this game going. Ok?" She smiled showing no hard feelings.
Cream thought it over. "Um uhhh I pick truth no dare! No truth! Dare!"
"Is that your final answer?" Riko chuckles and Cream nodded.
"U-um y-yes."
"Ok Creamy...I dare you to…" Riko smiled and her eyes sparkled.
Later..
Around 2am the girls were passed out drunk on the couch surrounded by empty bottles and pizza boxes. The only ones still up were Riko and Amy; who sat in the kitchen talking. "Amy, how long do I have to keep this up? I am ready to kill! I can't keep this up much longer!"
Amy looked at her with sharp eyes. "Keep your voice down do you want them to wake up hearing you talk like that? You'll get your chance to have your fun but you'll do it when I say."
"Playing around with my food isn't what I was made for; I was created to destroy and kill. I've been watching him like you said for weeks now and I'm fucking tired of it. So when does the fun start before I start creating my own fun."
"Soon! But I need you to be patient and keep doing your job. You're doing great Riko; don't fuck it up."
Riko rolled her eyes and huffed. "I can say the same about you. But that's none of my business." She took a sip of her water she had close by. Amy looked at her confused. "What do you mean by that?"
Riko shrugged and shook her head. "Nothing. Nothing at all. I'm going to bed, are you?"
Amy didn't say anything. She just continued to look at Riko with sharp hard eyes which made Riko groan and jump off of her seat. "Look Amy, you're my friend slash employer, and I love you but don't blame me when I start getting bored and people start going missing. Now I'm going to ask again; I'm going to bed. Are you?"
"No, I'll go to bed later." Amy looked away. Riko frowned at this. "Fine. Goodnight."
She went up to her room in slience.
Amy walked off and laid on the couch covering up with a blanket and went to sleep.
The girls woke up with hangovers out the ass and didn't feel like getting up. Little did they know someone was extremely busy as they slept. Blaze had a dick drawn on her face, Rouge had 'Boobs' written on her forehead, Sally had a popsicle up her ass (how she didn't feel it we will never know), Cream was covered in silly string and Amy's hair was thoroughly covered in hardened hair gel. Riko sat at the top of the stairs with glee with a bull horn. Pressing the button the horn sounded through the house scaring the shit out of the girls, who looked just as confused when they looked at each other.
The girls snickered at each other not knowing what was done to themselves. "Hehe nice dick Blaze heh you should let me ride it sometime." Rouge giggled handing Blaze her hand mirror. Blaze gasped and covered her cheek. Growling at Rouge and others laughing at her she pointed out to Rouge. "Well at least I don't have Boobs plastered on my forehead!"
"Ewwww what am I covered in?! It's slimy and it smells!" Cream screamed
"It's ok Cream it's just silly stri-HOLY CRAP WHY IS MY ASS FREEZING WHAT THE FUCK!?" Sally jumped up and hopped around trying to pull out the popsicle plugged in her butt. The girls laughed watching the chipmunk run around all except for Amy who couldn't keep her head steady from the weight of the hardened gel in her long hair. "RIIIIIIKOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. If there's one thing you don't mess with about Amy, it's her hair. Amy got up with all the strength she had and ran up the stairs to Riko's room with others following close behind. Once they burst through the door they found the room was empty with the window open. Riko escaped before they even had a chance.
"Don't worry she'll be back; she has to. There's nowhere else for her to sleep and eat." Amy smirked as she closed the door and everyone marched back down stairs. As the door closed Riko stood smiling and giggling behind her hand. She was hiding behind the door the entire time just to throw them off. "I amuse myself. But I guess I should leave. Amy's pissed at me and I have a job to do." Quickly getting dressed Riko jumped out her window and disappeared foreal this time
Back down stairs Rouge was washing the gel out of Amy's hair. Blaze was washing her face. "This better not be permanent or I swear I'm gonna declaw her."
"You said it hun." Rouge agreed, still having Boobs on her forehead. "It's almost out pinkie I almost got it."
Cream gently pinched the silly string out her hair slightly saying 'ew' at it. Sally came out the bathroom throwing the popsicle away. "Ok I'll admit that was a good prank but I'm still gonna kill her."
"How did you not feel that while sleeping? I still don't get it" Blaze smirked at Sally.
Sally blushed and went over to help Cream. "You know Rouge I think it's because she's really loose down there is why she didn't feel it.~" Blaze teased. "Ooooh so Sonic not only eats the booty but he fucks it too!~" Rouge declared as she wrapped Amy's hair in a towel. The girls laughed and even Cream giggled.
"ALL OF YOU SHUT UP! SONIC DOESN'T FUCK ME IN THE ASS! I DO IT MYSELF WITH MY DILDO!"
Everyone stared blankly at Sally who's face was crimson now. "He only ate my ass out once and that only because he was drunk. I never asked him to do it again because I thought he didn't like it. So secretly when I'm horny and home alone I...you know. And after the first time I was hooked. So yeah maybe my asshole is alittle stretched out but who gives a fuck?!" Sally pouted.
Amy was the first to speak up. "Sally, no one is judging you. If you like getting fuck in the butt we don't really care like that or hate you for it. I mean Rouge has sex toys for a whole town to use and you think we feel any different?"
"Yeah Amy's right we're friends. We're gonna tease each other about stuff all the time to get under our skin. The guys do it all time so why can't we?" Cream smiled at her. "Yeah. And I do not have that many vibrators! Anymore. Knuckles is all I need!~ Oh speaking of which I need to call him." Rouge flew to the living room and Amy got her blow dryer.
"That was a fun night though I wish Miss Riko didn't have to cover me in this stinking string." Cream sweat dropped. "Oh please Cream, stop complaining you got way easier than we did. Riko had mercy on you." Blaze rolled her eyes at her. Cream's ears laid flat as Sally finished cleaning her up. Rouge flew back in excitement. "Guys! My instagram twitter and Facebook is blowing up with likes! And Knuckles left 30 texts and 20 voicemails hehe I guess he saw the pictures too.~ Boy am I in trouble when I get home.~"
"Rouge you didn't?!" Blaze screamed at the ivory bat who only smiled more. "Oh honey yes I did. I've tagged all of you and we're are now more famous than ever! If people didn't know the Freedom Fighters females they do now!" The girls glared at Rouge but let it go. They knew this was gonna happen cause Rouge was a social media idol/queen. "Well we better clean up Amy's place before we head home it'll be very rude if we didn't." Cream changed the subject though she knew she wasn't spared after what she did last night.
Everyone got to work even though it didn't take the girls long to fix the furniture and threw away the empty liquor bottles. Rouge decided to keep Amy's neighbor bra as a souvenir and to prank Knuckles. They packed their clothes and gossiped for a while. Rouge finally got around to calling Knuckles who was hungover but not hungover enough to bomb his girlfriend with questions of last night. "Did you like the pictures?~ uh huh.. uh huh uh huh yeah I know." It was obvious he was chewing her out but not at the same time. "Hey Knuky?~ … When I come home will you eat my ass out and fuck it?~ I'm really curious on how that feels.~ … Knuky? … K-Knuckles?" The girls thought Knuckles had hung up. The room got really quiet and the girls looked worried at their friend but then they all heard a deep voice through the phone. "You bring me that big sexy ass of yours and I'll give it to you anyway you want baby.~" Rouge squealed in thrill. "Oh Knuky I'm on my way baby yeeee!" Before Rouge hung up she heard Knuckles yelling.
"GET UP! GET OUT! ALL OF YOU GET THE FUCK UP AND OUT NOW! I DON'T NEED YOU HERE WHEN ROUGE GETS HERE! UP UP UP UP! I'M ABOUT DO SOMETHING I'VE BEEN DYING TO DO FOR YEARS! GET THE FUCK UP!" Knuckles was so excited he forgot to hang up the phone and girls laughed as Rouge ended the call.
"Well I'll see you girls later I'm about to have some fun!~ And Sally you should talk to Sonic about your secret. It'll help with some things. Well Ciao!~" she flew off to her car but took her time knowing her boyfriend was kicking his company out and wanted to clean up before her arrival. Knuckles love having a clean house especially since Rouge and him got together and later on started living together.
"Well I guess that's our cue to go too since Knuckles and throwing our men out for ass sex." Blaze giggled
"Yeah bye Amy it was a great party. See ya later." Sally waved, getting in her royal blue Charger.
"See ya Amy!" Cream jumped in Blaze's white Mustang since she rode with her.
Amy waved goodbye to her friends and went inside to shower. Checking her phone she saw she got a lot of likes on her instagram one user caught her eye. Dark_Chaos. He wasn't smiling as usual but seeing his photo made Amy smile. He sent her a friend request And she pushed the follow button, accepting it. Amy took her shower and dozed off on her bed afterwards. She was more tired than she thought.
Later on that day, Amy sat at her computer desk wearing a white tank top and black shorts doing research typing and clicking away. She sighed deeply from what's happened so far. Everything was going according to plan though the conversation with Riko still rang through her head. She knew Riko was getting impatient but what could she do. Everything had to go right and couldn't let her friends get involved. For now she had to keep them entertained and distracted while Riko did her job. She had to do this before anyone started asking questions.
The sound of the doorbell woke Amy from her thoughts. She went to answer and there stood Silver and Shadow. "Hey guys what a surprise!" What a surprise it was. She smiled brightly at them and invited them in. "Thanks Amy we only came to discuss business with you about your case." Silver said taking a seat on the couch. Shadow slowly followed as he watched Amy. She sat across from them saying a small 'oh'.
"The court date is set for next week, Friday at noon. Here's your criminal." Silver handed Amy a picture of the man that hurt Amy all those years ago. "This is the man correct?" He asked with a deep serious voice. The picture was of a dark yellow cat with purple eyes. He was smirking in the police photo and it pissed Amy off.
"Amy.., I need you to confirm to me that this is the right guy so we can take further action." Silver said only to have Shadow elbow him in the side.
"Yes...that's the guy." Amy gave back the picture. Silver nodded and sighed. "He's name is Jessie Collins. He's 34 and has had many run ins with the police. For drugs, stealing but he always manages to get free. Our system is really fucked up. The court can send a person to life in prison for drunk driving but person can can get only 60 fucking days in jail for killing an innocent old lady."
Silver took another breath and looked at Amy. "I made a promise the day you were put in the hospital. That I would find and put the sick bastard away in the deepest hole for his crimes for what he did to you. I missed my chance last time; but not this time. You deserve justice and you will get it."
"Thanks Silver. I'm still kinda tired from last night guys so I'm gonna take a nap."
That was the boys cue to leave and they stood up and nodded understanding. "It's ok Amy we got what we needed. Besides I'm gonna go see Blaze and check on her." Amy walked them to the door and Silver left first. Shadow stayed behind. "Rose..you think later on today...would you like to go have coffee with me? We haven't exactly got to hang out since your return and….I've missed you too…" he blushed slightly saying the last bit. If anything Amy knows Shadow better than anyone, and she knows Shadow isn't good expressing his feelings besides anger and being sacrificed. But he opens up to Amy; in a blunt way mostly but he talks more with her.
"Sure Shadow I'd love to. Does 2:30 sound ok?" She smiled.
"That's fine. I'll meet you at Starbucks, bye Rose." He walked off catching up with Silver and Amy closed the door.
She took out her phone and tapped a number on speed dial. Someone picked up but Amy didn't give them time to speak. "The court date is set for next Friday. After the trial, you know what to do."
"Gotcha."
Amy ended the call and went to take a nap before her date with Shadow.
"Just abit longer and this will all be over."
Shadow sat at Starbucks waiting for Amy at his favorite booth. He had so many questions besides the pictures and videos Rouge posted. Since Amy came back Shadow felt something was different about her. Good but off. There were times Amy looked not herself. Bright, cheerful and happy. Was she not happy being back? Is it her friends or is her new bestie Riko? Shadow has been doing research on Riko at GUN but everything comes up cold turkey. Like the girl doesn't exist. He sighed and rubbed his head. It frustrated him to no end. Plus with the trial coming up it's gonna be hard to keep himself under control. Shadow prayed to Chaos that he hoped Silver knew what he was doing.
Shadow looked up from his hands trying to that positive so he won't look so worrisome in front of Amy. Soon as he cleared his mind Amy walked in wearing skinny blue jeans, a yellow tank top and yellow open toe sandals to match. Her hair was curled in a high ponytail with her bangs sweeper to the side. She smiled at Shadow as she took her seat across from him. "Hi! Sorry I'm late." Her voice ranged with happiness.
Shadow shook his head. "No you're right on time. I haven't been here long."
"Oh good. I know how you hate to wait."
"For you Rose I'll wait til the building crumbles..ah ahem I mean.." Shadow started to blush crimson. Why did he say that! That was a thought bubble! Amy was blushing herself as she looked on at him.
"Wow..no one has ever said that to me. And it's the first time I've ever seen you get embarrassed and blush...it's cute." She giggled and Shadow felt the room get brighter and warmer from the sound. He shook his head remembering what she said.
"Wait who are you calling cute? I am not cute Rose."
"You're right, you're adorable!"
"Rose, I'm warning you. I'm not adorable, I'm not cute I'm not anything but-"
"Sexy?"
Shadow stared at Amy who looked frozen with heat creeping up her face. "I-I mean handsome."
Shadow smirked. "Hey sexy works too. Now who's adorable?"
She made a pouty face at him which he found quite amusing and cute. The waitress came to take their orders. She was a tan kangaroo with green and pink hair, chomping on a piece of gum. She popped a bubble before asking in a rough southern accent, "Wha can I get fo ya?"
"Coffee, black please. Rose?"
"Oh um I'll have a Vanilla Cremé and a chocolate strawberry crepe please."
"Anythan else?"
"No we're ok thanks" she hopped away with a nod and shadow turned to Amy who stared at the waitress.
"You ok Rose?"
"Yeah I just like her hair. I love the punk rocker look."
"Since when?"
She grew quiet before answering. "For awhile. Like for years. I've always wanted to try it but it's more your style and I didn't think I would look great in it."
Shadow stared at Amy; she had that look again; like she wasn't all the way there. Her eyes were dull. Their order came quickly and they brightened up again. The waitress put packages of cream and sugar for Shadow, which he regarded. Amy sips her shake and she looks like she's in heaven. He didn't want to spoil her good time but he needed answers.
"Rose. Are you ok with the trial? With seeing him again? I'm worried about you. You don't seem like yourself. And then the party and the pictures..I'm just confused I guess. You know you can talk to me Rose."
Amy took another sip before looking at him with a solid expression. "To be honest Shadow, I'm not ok. I'm happy to be home to be with everyone again and..I knew this would happen and I wanted it to. I want to face my fear in the eye and say fuck you, you fucking fucker! And put him away for good." She paused and pulled out a newspaper clipping picture of a little brown hamster girl. The print was in Japanese and handed to Shadow. He stared at it and looked more confused at Amy.
"Her name is Hope. When I was living in Japan I worked at a bookstore and she would always come in to say hi to me on the way to and back from school. She's 10 years old. One day it was pouring down raining. I was expecting her to come in but she didn't. I thought it was because of the weather. Two hours later an ambulance speeds by; just around the corner from the store. I was on break so I went to see what happened."
She paused again and took a deep breath. "When I got there, the medics were carrying Hope out of an abandoned building. She was beaten so badly she couldn't see out of one eye. She was raped by a drunk on her way to school. The doctors said she was hurt horribly; they had to give her an artificial anus. She can't have kids when she grows up."
Shadow was speechless at the story as he looked at the picture. "How did they find her?"
"She called them herself with the little strength she had. She was so traumatized her own father couldn't hug her anymore. But she was brave enough to identify the man. That girl is 10 and has more courage than me to look at the man that hurt her. But in the end she can't have kids, she can't use the bathroom the same anymore and she might not be able to hug her own father ever again. But here I am, still able to have kids if I want, my anus is still intact, and I got over my trauma! It's not fair! The world, life isn't fair! And I want him to pay."
"You're right. Life isn't fair. The world is a cruel place. And it'll continue to be cruel if you allow it…" Shadow gave the newspaper back to Amy. She was hurt and pissed. He felt it. "I'm sorry what happened to the little girl. Even though she has a downside she's looking towards the light. She got justice."
"And now I'm getting mine. Shadow that day I wished I had died. I thought I was dead. I'm tired of being pushed around and taken for granted. I'm always the one that gets the short end of the stick. I'm the one who's always getting kidnapped. I'm the one that people underestimate in a fight, well not anymore."
Amy had a crazy look in her eyes and Shadow told her to breathe. She took a deep breath and figures relaxed. She needed to let that out. "As for the party, well that got out of my hands as soon we started drinking. I just wanted a nice girls night and well it turned into a festival."
"Yeah I saw." Shadow sipped his coffee. He understood where she was coming from. All the times Amy was like a background character and never had her shot in the spotlight. She always played the damsel and the Hero didn't even want her the way she wanted him. And now looking at her; how much she's grown and mature Shadow's glad Sonic is taken. Amy sipped her shake and looked at Shadow in deep thought before giggling.
"What? What is it?" He asked.
"You're the only one who truly cared about me.." she giggled some more. Soon the giggles turned to soft sobs and tears came streaming down. Shadow jumped from his seat and rushed to hug her. "Rose it's ok. I know Sonic is a dick but the others care about you too."
"No Shadow. I mean yes you're right but none of them cared like you do."
They stared into each other's eyes deeply. Amy's hand touched Shadow's chest and it rumbled. He lightly wiped away her tears and caressed her head gently like a feather.
"Shadow? Will you love me?"
Shadow's POV
As I looked down in Rose's eyes I saw a lot. Want, need, pain, lust, anger, sadness; everything. I wanted to kiss her so badly my instincts were screaming 'Take her! Take her now and here!' But I resisted. She needed comfort not that.
"Shadow? Will you love me?"
"I already do."
"Shadow?" I looked at her glassy eyes. Oh so much was running through my mind at once! She grabbed my hand gently. "Rose."
" 'Cus meh. 'Cu meh! I need you to pay ya bill and take yo lil soap opera somewhere else. Ya distracting eryone."
This waitress was getting on my nerves but when I looked around all eyes were on us. Some were blushing and sitting on the edge of their seats. Were we really that loud? I guess we are like drama or whatever. Amy straightened herself; her face rosey red and I backed away giving the waitress the money so she could leave.
"Let's go and continue elsewhere."
I heard a few aws in disappointment which definitely made me want to leave. Amy nodded and we left together. Not knowing where to go exactly we just walked around til we ended up at the park.
We didn't say much as we walked, I guess she was still embarrassed. I was gonna say something but she beat me to it.
"What I wanted to say back there was, will you go out with me?"
She kept her head down and played with a curl in her hair. I smirked and replied, "But I'm already out with you Rose. So what do you mean?"
She played with the curl more and looked at her with determined eyes with fire. Those were the eyes I remember. "I mean..will you be my boyfriend?"
I leaned closer to her til our noses were touching and our lips were brushing each other. My actions made her jump slightly. I hovered over her as I caressed her cheek. "Hell yeah." I planted the kiss softly. She tasted like strawberries and cream, she smelled like vanilla and honeysuckles. She pulled me closer, wrapping her arms around me. I didn't mind; I've wanted to do this for years.
We pulled away to breathe and we both were smiling. "I love that smile. It fits perfect for you."
She smiled more and started blushing again. I took her hand and looked straight in her eyes. "Amy Rose, I promise to protect you and nothing will ever make you cry again. As long as I see that beautiful smile on your face then I'm happy and nothing can bring me down."
She jumped in my arms and whispered, "That's all I ever wanted to hear…"
We stayed like that for awhile. I offer to walk her home since it was getting late. She accepted and we walked holding hands.
"Also, about your party. Rouge posted some interesting pictures and videos." I sang. I wanted to talk to her about this too but now we're together I don't have to hold back my feelings. "And I'll admit I love what I saw. Never thought you had a wild side."
"What all did you see?!"
"Oh nothing, just you twerking in a chair, everyone taking body shots and regular shots, you in your bikini, dancing, swimming."
"Oh fuck.. I'm gonna kill Rouge! You didn't see us playing truth or dare did you?"
I shook my head but I was now interested. "No but we did see the text Tails got from Cream so I'm gonna take a guess and say that was a dare right?"
She nodded and laughed. "I can't believe she did it though. Our little Cream isn't little anymore."
"I agree. And neither are you. Believe me when I say this, and I don't like it, but Sonic knows how well you grew up and he regrets it. Regrets not giving you a chance, for lying to you for hurting you. If you could've heard him the other night."
"Why should he care when he has Sally?"
"If Sally wasn't the controlling bitch that she is, do you really think He wouldn't try anything with you looking hotter than her?"
"Am I hotter than Sally?" She smirked at me.
"Look I'm saying this not because I'm your boyfriend but because I'm a guy. Yes you're way hotter than Sally."
She squeezed my hand. "Thank you..I really needed to hear that. For so long I felt like I had to compete with her. Not just for Sonic's affection. But who could compete with a princess?"
"She might be a princess but you're a queen Rose. And others would agree with me."
She hugged me and I smiled. I haven't felt this happy in a long time.
When we made it back she invited me inside. As much as I wanted to, I said no. "Sorry, I promised Silver I would help him with some files from GUN. But how about we go on a real date later? If you're not busy."
"I'd love to."
"Ok I'll see you soon. Night Rose."
She waved at me and went inside. When she closed the door I did backflips. I ran to Silver's house to help with his work and tell him about the day.
Amy on the other hand went straight to her training room and started doing sets of 10 with weights. Friday will be there soon.
