Shadow and Amy were hanging out with the gang at the park, having a picnic. Eating and chatting along with each other, well not much was heard from Shadow. He kept quite the hold time however, he did answer a bit from the pink hedgehog. She was the only one he really wanted to hear from.
He'll never admit that to anyone ever. But during one conversation, Rouge asked, "Amy, have you been seeing anyone lately? Your glowing."
Amy giggled a bit before answering, "Yeah, I have to admit." Shadow's right ear went up to the two women direction. Based on his body language, he was on the curious side. The bat smirked at her, "Giiirrrllll tell me all about it." The pink hedgehog smiled, "Girl, he is such a nice person and I already know him. He's a hero. He isn't very outgoing but that's alright. He loves to read. And we aren't dating. I haven't told him I like him yet."
Rouge thought about it before she snapped her fingers, figuring out who it was just like that. She whispered into Amy's ear so no one would hear it, "It is Shadow?" Amy nodded, happy about her decision. The man of the hour tried to listen on, but despite his efforts, he wasn't able to listen on and ended up falling out of the chair. Making mostly everyone laugh at him except the girl that was crushing on him.
He felt embarrassed so he suddenly chaos control out. The pink hedgehog frowned, sad to see that he left. Rouge tapped her shoulder before saying, "It's okay, Shadow just embarrassed. He'll be back. Just letting off some steam." Amy nodded before going back to eating.
Sonic decided to step into their conversation. "Hey Ames, are you alright?" He asked, taking hold of her shoulder. He looked a bit worried. She put on a smile for him, "I'm okay, thanks for asking." She responded.
He left it at that even when he knew it was a fake smile, he had a feeling it had something to do with Shadow. The blue hedgehog could see hints that their was something going on between Shadow and Amy. He had already realized that she liked him, since Sonic did have Amy's love once upon a time. However that ended because there was no way the blue hedgehog would ever love her or admit to it she thought. But he did, he loved her to death however it was way too late. She had already gotten over him. There was no way, she could ever love him again.
Anyways, he went back to talking to Tails about the fox's newest machine he created. The day soon ended, everyone went their separate ways for the time being. Taking left overs with them. To have through the week. The pink hedgehog had arrived home and soon fell asleep on the couch. However, she was woken up by the door ringing. She checked the time and whined, "Who could be at the door at this hour?" Amy opened the door and her heart was warmed by spotting a single red rose with a note attached to it. The note written, 'Dear Rose, sorry about today. I was quite embarrassed since I fell out of my chair. I have to admit, I was trying to hear on what you and Rouge was talking about. For a apology, you may take this rose. When I saw this single rose, I couldn't help but think of you. Your so beautiful; rosy cheeks, short curly pink hair, and big green eyes. You have grown a lot since the day I met you. Anyways... Love, Shadow.'
It made Amy's heart skip a beat. She set the note down and held the rose close to her heart, smiling and blushing brightly. Smelling the sweet scent of the rose, thinking of her crush... well it seemed more than just a crush.
