Chapter nine-
Amy made her descision—she loved Shadow. It was that intense gaze,
the way he held her, the kiss that they shared. But there was no denying
it—their happiness would not come easily. First, there was Sonic. There
had always been a little something between them, and the rivalry between
Sonic and Shadow. So Sonic probably wouldn't let it go quickly. Then,
there was Knuckles. She hadn't spoken to him since his confession—it
was the awkwardness. And Rouge seemed to like Shadow… So that
could get sticky. How she got herself into this mess, she didn't know. And
she wasn't even sure if Shadow's feelings were even half as strong as
hers. She would have to find out somehow. So, she decided to go talk to
Rouge. Even though she seemed to like Shadow, she was the only one
that would understand her feelings. When Rouge admitted her into the
house, Amy took a seat. "So what's up?" Rouge asked. "I'm just having a
little trouble…" Amy replied. "With Sonic?" "Someone a bit different that
him.." Amy felt uncomfortable. "Did you hook up with Knuckles again?"
Rouge asked. "NO. uh, no. I haven't talked to him since.. well you know. I
mean Shadow." Rouge looked kind of angry. "What about him?" "I think
I'm falling in love." It was that simple. Rouge's ear twitched. "So you're
trying to get him too are you? First Knuckles, now Shadow… do you mean
to do this to me? Am I going to have to end up with Sonic?" Rouge yelled,
voice rising. "No, of course I don't mean to do this. Knuckles loved me.
But I figured out this morning that I love Shadow…" "Get out." "What?"
Amy asked. "You heard me. GET OUT." Rouge snarled. Amy quickly got
up and left. The door shut behind her. "Well there goes that idea," Amy
thought, as she walked down the street.
