Chapter 3-

Shadow's Pov-

The storm was still raging on, and it was already night. Also when I planned on making this basement for emergencies I probably should've considered other people might have to stay with me... In other words, I forgot to put in another bed just in case of these situations.

I debated what I should do... Have Amy take the bed while I take the floor? I have a sleeping bag down here for camping right? Or was it in the attic?...

I started searching the room for that sleeping bag I had lying around somewhere. Was it in the attic or did I put it in the shed outside in the backyard...

"Um, Shadow?" I heard Amy ask as I went through some old boxes

"Hm?" I responded half listening to her and also trying to focus on finding the sleeping bag

"What are you looking for?" She asked as I started to head upstairs

"Just a sleeping bag for me, so you can have the bed." I explained closing the basement door behind me

I headed up the stairs to the attic ceiling door located in my bedroom. I pulled the door down and unfolded the built-in stairs then proceeded to climb inside the attic. After rummaging through everything I could find it wasn't here either, I guess I really did leave it outside in the shed. I headed back down into the basement where Amy was there, her legs crossed up on the bed. She smiled at me and asked, "So did you find it yet?"

I sighed as sat next to her and explained that I couldn't find it anywhere.

"Oh." She said staring concerned at me, "Where are you going to sleep then?"

I had pondered that question too and had decided it was best to sleep on the floor. All I needed were some blankets and a pillow and I'd be fine.

"I was thinking the floor while you took the bed." I explained while I went to get some extra blankets and a pillow I saw in one of my boxes here in the basement

"Oh no Shadow!" Amy exclaimed starting to get flustered at the thought of her taking the bed, "I could never do that to you, this is your house after all!"

I shook my head as I placed down the blankets and pillows, "And you're my guest. How could you not take the bed? Besides I've slept in more uncomfortable places."

The pink hedgehog finally accepted my offer and slowly climbed into the bed. I finished making the makeshift sleeping bag and climbed into it. The storm outside seemed to go on forever, with the giant booms of thunder and lighting- I could even hear the trees topple over. I don't think this is some freak accident, could Robotnik be behind this? No he could barely control his own robots. Well if it wasn't him then who?

I rolled over deep in thought when I also heard Amy toss and turn. Maybe she wasn't too keen on rainstorms, maybe I should say something? Very hesitantly I tried to ask Amy what was wrong.

"Um, Amy?" I asked trying not to sound too nervous

"Y-yes S-shadow?" I heard Amy's voice say shakily

"Are you alright? You've been tossing and turning." I said not realizing I got over the nervousness to ask

"K-kind of..." Amy said under her blanket

I sat up to see her only to find the pink hedgehog under her blanket. Was she scared of the storm? I got up to sit at the foot of the bed when she finally came out from under the blanket.

"Would you like to tell me why you're hiding under a blanket in a storm?" I asked as she nodded

"W-well..." I could tell she was hesitating to say but she finally spat it out, "It j-just kind of b-brings back bad m-memories..."

She probably didn't want to reveal anything too much and I could understand that. I'm not one to pry into someone's privacy.

"I understand. Will you be okay though?" I asked her as she shook her head 'no'

Well now what am I supposed to do? If she was this scared I can't do anything, she'd have to get over this on her own. There wasn't anything I could possibly d-

"C-could you s-sleep with me?" She asked timidly

I was shocked at her question, I hadn't planned on sleeping with her if she was this scared. I couldn't say no since I've known her for a long time. After a while- without Sonic's knowledge- I had actually grown close to Amy. We'd meet up sometimes and she was my only other friend and person I could talk to besides Rouge. However I'm getting off topic, I'm sure you wouldn't want too much detail in that backstory.

I nodded my head as she scooted over to make room for me. I could tell she was still shaken by the storm, and I could understand that. Trees could be heard toppling over outside. Maybe I could tell her something that will take her mind off it? But what could I talk about?...

I was puzzled trying to find something to keep her mind off the storm, while at the same time making sure it didn't pry into her past. That was when I got it.

"So Amy, would you like to go to the city tomorrow? As long as it's not storming too badly." I suggested as she gladly nodded to the idea

"Ooo, maybe we can go window shopping!" She said excitedly

Oh dear god, what did I get myself into?...

"Yay..." I replied trying to sound enthusiastic- but it didn't work...

I heard a giggle come from beside me. Amy was giggling at me? She must've heard how unenthusiastic I was...

"Oh Shadow, we could go to some places you like to go too if it helps." The pink hedgehog suggested as she finally grew tired

She started yawning and then laid down on her side that was facing me. I sighed a sigh of relief, I was glad I could help. I just hope that situation doesn't come up again. I rolled onto my side as well facing away from Amy and soon drifted off to sleep.

The next day I awoke with Amy's face once again in mine. At first I thought I was seeing things, why would Amy put her face so close to mine again? I rubbed my eyes to see a bit more clearly only to find that it really was her. Startled like before, I fell right off the side of the bed.

"Amy!" I exclaimed as she giggled and ran up the stairs to the house

I was once again on the ground and grabbed the fallen blanket and tossed it on the bed. I followed after Amy to find the house was still intact. I walked out the front door to the porch to see that some trees were toppled over, but nothing too dangerous. The front door creaked open as Amy came out to join me. She quickly scanned the area and the sky then twirled around to face me with a smile.

"Well Shadow, let's go!" She exclaimed as I tried to contradict her

"But Rose, we haven't eaten breakfast yet." I playfully whined as she pouted at me

"Can't we eat out today?" The pink colored hedgehog asked with puppy-dog eyes

I sighed and nodded as she screamed with excitement and dragged me off with her to town. Well she needed to go shopping anyway, she doesn't have any clothes at my house. When she got when she woke up she had already washed her clothes before I realized it. I don't suppose she'd want to grab her clothes at her house either, I have a feeling that's where she was running from to begin with.

In no time Amy was able to drag me all the way to the city as she started to go store to store. She bought so many clothes, so many bags... I thought I would die... I don't like shopping. At all. Of course I had my own set of clothes from that one shopping trip I had. Some ripped jeans, gray tank tops, shorts, pretty much all the basic types of clothing. I never went shopping again since, my clothes were still good so I don't see why I need to shop for more like the blue moron.

Amy raced around the store while I sat in a chair bored to death. She'd try on clothes every once in a while and then race around to find more. This was just one store on the road to many more...

When she finally picked all the clothes she wanted we went up to the register to buy them. Amy was about to pay for it when I got out my wallet and payed for it all.

"Awe, that's so nice of your boyfriend." The cashier said as Amy and I both said in unison

"We're not together, we're just friends."

The cashier looked at us skeptically, absolutely not believing us. She just shrugged it off as she gave me the bags to carry.

We exited the store to finally get some breakfast, well it was probably lunch by now. We headed to this nice little family owned restaurant and ordered our food. I told Amy I'd quickly chaos control back to the house to put up her bags in the guest room. She nodded approval and I teleported back to the house and set the bags on her bed. When I had returned I saw a familiar blue hedgehog talking to Amy...

Sorry if this chapter was short, and also the reason why I haven't put anything for the summary is because I have no idea what I'll write about. As I said in the summary I'm just winging it. After I finish the story and get an idea of what I'm going for then I'll add it, but for now I don't know what to put.

Also I'm terribly sorry for any grammar errors, some may slip past my typing and sometimes I don't know where to put commas... xD

Well I guess I'll see ya later?
