Chapter 2-

Shadow's Pov-

When I woke up I saw a pink blur right in my face. Startled, I fell right off my bed and heard a feminine voice giggling. I untangled myself from my bedsheets and stood up to find the pink hedgehog from yesterday. I scooped up my blanket off the ground and threw it onto my bed while the pink hedgehog said, "You never change Shadow."

I was stunned. How did she know my name? So I must have known her from before... but when? I glanced at the hedgehog as she pouted, "You've forgotten me haven't you?"

She walked out my bedroom and down the hallway, I was right behind. She twirled around and walked backwards as she talked to me, "Don't you remember me Shadow? Amy Rose?"

At that moment I felt like a complete moron, she was the hedgehog girl always tackling Sonic. She had even mistaken me for him one time. She looked slightly different and that's probably why I didn't recognize her. Amy was still walking backwards, smiling right at me she didn't notice the stairs coming up behind her. In an instant she started falling and I quickly chaos controlled right behind her to catch her just in time.

"You're still kind of a klutz after all those years huh?" I teased as I noticed her face turn red- probably from embarrassment

"Eh heh heh heh..." She nervously said as I felt her clutch tighter to me, "Um Shadow, can you put me down? I'm not a fan of being carried..."

I nodded and carefully sat her down as she continued going down the stairs. I went into the kitchen to whip up some breakfast for us while I asked her a few things. Amy took a seat at the kitchen's island and watched me cook.

"So Amy, why were you out in the woods?" I asked as she looked around nervously

"Um...well..." I heard her struggling whether she should say anything or not

"Nevermind Amy." I started to tell her, "If you don't want to say you don't have to. I was just curious."

She breathed a sigh of relief then got up and stood next to me. I was making eggs, waffles, toast- the basic stuff.

"You cook?" Amy questioned as I smirked at her fascination

"Well when you live alone and far from town you gotta eat something Rose." I teased her as she turned red

I grabbed plates and set them on the kitchen's island and got out some cokes. I sat right beside Amy as she took her first bite. Her eyes widened and then she started yelling, "This is amazing Shadow!"

I cracked a smile for a second but immediately stopped. I can't get attached to her, I'm sure she can't stay long. She started guzzling the food down, she was going so fast I thought she'd choke. I was amazed that Amy ate so fast when I barely touched my food, was she running for a long time to get that hungry? Just then the front door busted open.

"Why Shadow dear!" A familiar voice called out to me as I sighed and continued eating

"And Amy Rose? Shadow you have other guests now?" the albino bat exclaimed as I slowly grew annoyed by her. She must have noticed my breakfast because she proceeded to yell, "You made breakfast and didn't make me any?!"

I finished off my food annoyed while Amy talked to Rouge.

"Rouge, I haven't seen you in forever! What have you been doing?" Amy asked following Rouge to the couch

"Just chasing down Knuckle-head. Just the usual." Rouge replied nonchalantly

Amy giggle, "If I didn't know better, I'd say you like him."

Rouge quickly grew red by Amy's comment, "I-I DO NOT!"

I smirked at how worked up Rouge got, she must have a thing for that red echidna. I cleaned off the dishes and went to join them in the living room. Amy attempted to calm Rouge down by changing the subject.

"So you visit Shadow often?" The pink hedgehog asked as Rouge nodded

"But Amy, how did you get here? Shadow isn't the most social type- especially with girls." Rouge asked as I glared at her

"Hm..." Amy pondered the question, "Um, Shadow, how did I get here?"

I shifted on a seat diagonal to the couch Rouge and Amy sat on, it was about time I told her.

"Well you fell in the middle of the rainstorm last night, I went to help you and you were knocked out on the ground. It took you forever to wake up and when you did you were right in my face." I explained to them as Rouge cracked a smile, I didn't like where this was going...

"She was in your face when you woke up Shadow?" Rouge asked slyly, "What happened?"

I got up and went outside to avoid the question, although I could've just told her since it wasn't a big deal. I just didn't like the thought of Amy's face in mine when I had woken up this morning. I went out to the porch to see if it had stopped raining but it looked like there'd be another storm soon. I hope it's not bad enough to make a tornado or even topple trees over. I scanned the sky and saw dark clouds and a distant boom of thunder. We may have to sleep in the basement for safety just in case...

The front door creaked open and Rouge stood beside me and watched the sky. "Seems like a storm, am I right Shadow?" The albino bat asked as she stepped off the porch, "If that's the case I better be off, it seems the storm will be here sometime in the afternoon."

She smirked as she started to take off, "It'll be enough time for me to go catch a red echidna."

The door creaked opened once again as Amy stepped out to wave goodbye to Rouge as she flew off, away from the storm. I took one last glance at the sky then returned inside, Amy close behind. I sat back down on the couch and grabbed the remote to start flipping through some channels.

"Hey Shadow?" Amy asked as I gave her a small nod of acknowledgement, "You think this storm is going to be a bad one?"

I shrugged as I stopped on a channel with Bleach on it, "If you wanna be safe we can sleep down in the basement, but I doubt it may be that bad."

She smiled and nodded at the idea as we watched the next episode I was waiting for.

After the marathon I realized that it was almost 3:30 pm, we kind of missed lunch... Unless you count the snacks I brought out such as popcorn and candy, it's about time for me to cook dinner. I got up while Amy was still glued to the Tv and started to get out a steak I was marinating from yesterday- before our mission. I went out into the backyard to put it on the grill and waited a couple minutes until it finished with one side.

It must have been on a commercial because Amy walked out and smelled the air coming from the grill.

"Ooo, smells good Shadow." She said as I heard her stomach growl

I chuckled a little as I flipped the steak over, "So was it on commercials?"

"Yes! I hate it when good shows go to commercial!" The pink hedgehog exclaimed, pouting about how Ichigo almost defeated Rukia's brother.

"Well that's how they get people to stay to watch their shows, it's the anticipation." I explained to her putting the steak on a plate

Still pouting, Amy replied, "I still don't like it though..."

I walked back inside with Amy following me to the dining room as I set the steak on the table. I got out two plates and cut part of the steak for each of us and then got out a coke and some utensils. Amy quickly sat down and began to dig in as I just began to sit down.

"You know Amy," I started as I opened my can of coke, "Bleach is on Netflix up to season three without commercials."

She stopped eating and looked at me wide eyed. "We could have watched straight through to season three and you didn't tell me this?!" Amy exclaimed as I laughed at her enthusiasm

I was about to say something when a loud boom interrupted and I immediately turned to look outside. The rain started out slow then gradually poured down hard, another loud boom came and lightning struck a nearby tree. I heard Amy scream from surprise as she sat next to me on the table. Was this a normal storm? Or did someone know how to control the weather?...

Noticing Amy trembling a bit, I suggested we eat downstairs where I keep all my extra stuff for these emergencies. We grabbed our food and went down to the basement. I set up the table and I was back to eating, except Amy didn't like how loud the thunder was. It was pretty odd that the thunder was so loud it almost rocked the whole house. I've never encountered a storm this bad before, I hope Rouge made it out before all this happened.

Amy sat next to me and ate slowly while every once in a while dive her face into my side. I'm not experienced in comforting people in this kind of situation so I let her do what she wanted. What was I supposed to do?

I hope I didn't make it too long or short, I may rotate between Amy and Shadow but I'm not too sure how that'll work. I'll be sticking with just Shadow's Pov for now.

Well then I guess I'll see ya later?
