Chapter Three
After Sonic had found out where the couple were going, all he had to do was find out what time they were going; the blue hedgehog couldn't face Shadow for that information, the onyx hedgehog would, most likely, beat the living daylights out of the other male for following him and butting in on his personal life. Leaning back on the green sofa in Tails' front room, the hero mulled over what had happened over the last few months. He knew he had messed with her emotions and now he was paying the price. That black faker was ruining everything, he vividly remembered the pink female running to Shadow when he had finally plucked up the courage to tell her his true feelings; his heart almost stopped when she had thrown her arms around the onyx male and when he returned the hug, Sonic's jaw hit the floor. As he remembered, anger bubbled through him, even more so when he remembered what Shadow had done after Amy had explained why she was upset; the faker had kissed her! Now furious, he jumped up from his seat, why he had to remember that part was beyond him, especially the quick response his rose gave. He would and could not stand by and let Shadow kill the feelings he knew Amy still had for him. I know, I'll go and see her! Maybe start to put doubtful thoughts of Shadow's motives in her head. The blue blur smirked to himself; Shadow's lack of affection to Amy was going to be his downfall. Moving to the front door, he passed his best friend without a word, blanking the fox' questioning look. He was on a mission, and by God nothing was going to get in his way; not even Shadow the Hedgehog.
Running towards the pink hedgehog's accommodation, Sonic vaguely wondered what her reaction was going to be when he arrived on her doorstep; he secretly hoped he would get a reaction like he used too, but he knew she would never betray Shadow; she was strong-willed and that's what Sonic loved her for. Skidding to a stop outside a lovely two storey house, His emerald orbs read the name 'Amy Rose' in pink italicised letters on her letterbox. A smile crossed his face as he remembered the day she bought the house, she had immediately plastered her walls with pictures of him; it was a fond memory and one he would always remember. As he began the short walk to her front door, he paused as he went to knock on the wooden surface, What if Shadow is here? The mere thought of his adversary being in Amy's house made him think twice about visiting her. He scowled at the door, if he wanted to see his friend he could, the onyx hedgehog could go to hell. Clipping his knuckles on the door, he waited with baited breath, awaiting either Shadow or Amy to open the wooden door. As the locks on the door began to unlock, he desperately wished for the latter. When his emerald eyes greeted a pair of the same colour, a relieved smile forced its way onto his lips
"Hey Ames!" he almost shouted, a little bit too excitedly. Amy blinked a few times in shock, but when she realised who it was, a smile bloomed on her lips.
"Sonic!" She said happily, rushing forward to give him a friendly hug. Sonic's cheeks flared, but as soon as she released him, which was a little too soon for the hero's liking, she ushered him into her abode "So, what brings you here?" The blue hedgehog blinked at Amy's direct question, she'd never been that direct before. He looked at her attire and the reason dawned on him - she was waiting for Shadow
"Just came by to tell you I..." words caught in his throat as he got a glimpse of her new front room. There was now only one picture of him and that was in an entire group shot. There were five of Shadow, two on his own and three where he was with Amy; a slight, rare smile on his face. White hot anger ran through him again, but he forced himself to smile again.
"Tell me what? Look Sonic, I don't mean to be rude, but this is going to have to be a quick visit. Shadow is picking me up soon" she said, fiddling with her bracelet. Sonic frowned, but nodded.
"I just wanted to say that I don't see what Shadow's got that I don't" Sonic pouted. Amy's smile vanished and she stared at the other hedgehog in shock.
"What?" She responded, disbelief evident on in her tone. Anger swiftly took pride of place on her delicate features and she tried not to raise her voice "How dare you ask me that question! You know why I'm with Shadow, why can't you just see that I'm happy? Because Sonic, I thought you were genuinely happy for me, but I guess I was wrong. I want to be your friend, I really do, please don't make me throw that away" she sounded upset, but what confused the blue blur were the lack of tears. He blinked a couple of times, taking in what the rose hedgehog had just said. Jealousy reared its head as he gazed at her, she looked absolutely divine in the ankle length, purple dress, but he knew she was dressed up for Shadow and not him. Hanging his head, he walked to the door
"I'm sorry Amy. I still want to be your friend. I want nothing to come between our friendship," Sonic muttered. Walking out of the door, his face turned dark as he finished his sentence off to himself "Even Shadow"

Amy sat at her kitchen table, Sonic's words running through her mind, she was upset at his disregard for her relationship with Shadow and their friendship. She just wanted to see Shadow and hug him, not caring that he would be annoyed at the public display of affection. The rose hedgehog sighed, if her boyfriend didn't arrive soon she'd go and meet him halfway; she needed her beau, the blue blur's words were beginning to embed themselves in her brain and she needed to listen to her onyx hedgehog's voice to dislodge the doubt her ex-crush had placed. A knock on the back door snapped her out of her thoughts. Smiling happily she opened the door to find crimson eyes staring back at her, and as she stared back, she could see a small smirk on his muzzle. Amy gathered him up in her arms and hugged him extra close, she could feel him struggle to let her embrace him with so much emotion, but he soon relaxed and returned it
"What's wrong?" he asked, giving the top of her head a very small concerned look
"It's nothing much, just something Sonic said..."
"You shouldn't listen to him, he's just jealous," Shadow stated interrupting her "Now, we're going out are we not?" A smile settled on her face at her lover, pulling away from his embrace she tip-toed up and gave him a sweet, but short, kiss; not giving the ebony hedgehog a chance to respond. Smirking at his girlfriend, he took her hand in his and started the walk to the Chinese restaurant that Amy had wanted to go too.

Shadow's glare set hard as he walked hand-in-hand with the pink hedgehog, how dare that blue faker talk to his girl. Grinding his teeth, he fought the urge to ask his rose what his rival had said, but he knew that he shouldn't, so he kept it to himself. Scanning the street up ahead for the Chinese he had made reservations in, he saw it, but the place had a massive queue; keeping any obscenities in his brain he barged past everyone in the line, who obviously had not booked in advance.
"Shadow the Hedgehog, table for two" he said, his deep voice scaring the waiter at the front of the restaurant, making the little red fox scurry off to find out if Shadow's table was ready. As he scuttled back from his journey, the onyx hedgehog was still glaring at him
"Your table is ready, please follow me" he asked before he grabbed two menus and rushed through the other diners, not giving the onyx hedgehog a chance to respond. Pulling Amy along, he followed the waiter, glaring at anyone who stared at him or his woman. When they reached their table, which to Shadow's anguish was located by the window. As he walked by Amy's seat he pulled out the chair for his rose before he carried on and sat down across from the vacant chair. He looked up at Amy, who daintily sat in the chair he had pulled out and tucked herself under the table before taking the menus from the waiter.
"You look... lovely" Shadow said, startling the female hedgehog. A smirk fluttered onto his face as a blush covered her cheeks
"Th-Thank you" she stuttered in return, hiding in the menu. Chuckling, the onyx hedgehog picked up his menu and read the dishes to himself; he made a face at anything he didn't like - which was most of it. Deciding on chicken fried rice; he placed the menu down and admired the form sat across from him. He adored the way her eyes sparkled, and the way she bit her lip when she didn't know what to do. Of course not one of his thoughts were expressed on his face, which made it easier to look at her. When she smiled happily and looked at him, she reached across to touch his hand, but he shook his head
"Not here" he whispered, patting her hand briefly. Amy's smile faltered for a second before she realised that he meant later. When the waiter came back, they ordered and Amy chatted at Shadow, laughing when he made a sarcastic or witty remark, she was enjoying herself and nothing could wreck her perfect evening.
---
Emerald eyes watched with untamed jealousy as he saw the two sitting in plain view of everyone, just happy to be together. He had noticed Shadow's avoidance of holding hands, and he made a mental note of it, he could also see Amy talking and the other listening, which the blue hero thought he could turn into the onyx hedgehog not taking an interest in her… Or what she had to say. Sonic snorted when the waiter brought them a bottle of rosé wine. That should be him pouring the alcoholic liquid into her glass whist she smiled sweetly at him, not Shadow! Anger boiled up in him as he watched Amy laughing at whatever the streaked hedgehog had said, it should be HIM making her laugh! Him, him, HIM. Sonic continued to watch as their food was served, he watched the steaming meal on Amy's plate and smiled slightly. Chicken chow mein, how predictable. He shook his head and focused on the task at hand, studying the onyx male was harder than he had first anticipated; Shadow was hard to read, but that just made it a tiny bit easier to drag Amy away from the tainted hedgehog's true feelings... Whatever they were.
As they finished their meal, about an hour later, the cerulean hedgehog was starting to get really bored; his legs hurt and so did his eyes. Shadow and Amy were walking away from him and he contemplated following them. Weighing up the pros and cons, he decided to follow them, to see if he could get any more fuel against Shadow. Creeping after them, he picked up snippets of their conversation, but it was too vague for Sonic to get the drift. When Amy enclosed Shadow's streaked arm in her own, Sonic stopped walking and growled, not because she did it, but because he let her. He was meant to hate it so the hero could exploit it. Fuming, he continued to stalk the two. When they reached the pink females house, he was close enough to hear the couple's conversation
"Do you want to come in Shadow?" she asked, still holding his arm. Sonic could see the blush on his rival's face and relished in it
"I'm not sure..."
"Nonsense!" she interrupted, giving the male a smile and after she had unlocked her door dragged the poor ebony hedgehog inside. Sonic scowled, he definitely was not going up to her window to see what was going on, he may have stalked them home, but he was no peeping Tom. Shoving his hands behind his back he wandered away from the house, thinking of ways to lie to his love about the onyx faker.
