So, uh, hi guys! Yeah, this is my first fanfic, so please give me advice to make future chapters better. So, this is rated M because of some language, and a future lemon. :D So, enjoy

(End of Summary)

Shadow walked outside, ignoring the fact that a storm was about to hit. A bad one, too. He muttered to himself.

"Maddie…Maddie…Why can't I get her off my mind? Damn Silver and Knuckles…"

The wind became stronger, and it was a struggle for Shadow to stay on his feet. Giant trees started to sway, and pieces of litter and paper flew around. More thunderclouds flocked into the sky, threatening to shower the town in rain and lightning. The sun's light seemed to be completely shut out; it seemed like night. Shadow ignored all this, still walking.

"Maddie...Those midnight blue eyes...Those perfect lavender quills…Wait, what?"

A clap of thunder shuddered through the sky, making Shadow jump. Shit, I should've listened to Silver and Knuckles… He thought to himself. Rain finally pored, soaking Shadow. It felt like buckets and buckets of water fell from the clouds instead of simple raindrops. Lightning shot through the sky like an arrow. Shadow looked around. He had walked faster than he should've and Silver's apartment was quite some way. He looked around again. Maddie's house came into his eyes. Shadow felt like a flower opened up in his body, mostly his heart.

He trudged through the thunderstorm and wind. He finally made it to the door. He knocked. For some reason, he felt more than happy it was Maddie who he was visiting…

Inside Maddie's house… (Maddie's POV)

I was eating popcorn, watching the news about the thunderstorm.

"We highly recommend that locals stay inside during the storm. The storm is very strong and dangerous."

I suddenly hear a knock on the door. That's strange… I thought to myself. Who would be out during a storm? I quickly made my way to the door, opening it.

I was more than overjoyed to see Shadow. You see, I kinda…have this…feeling…when he's around. Oh, never mind. I guess you guys know already. "Shadow! What a surprise to see you!" I exclaim, trying to keep from throwing myself on him. He smiled, making butterflies form in my stomach. "Yeah, um, I was wondering if I could stay here until the storm leaves."

I closed the door behind him as he walked in. "Of course! Here let me get you a towel."

Normal POV

Shadow looked around. Maddie's house was like a mansion. She had a wonderful kitchen and a big living room. Her dining room was pretty impressive, too. And this was just the downstairs. Guess this is the advantage of going out into a storm… Shadow joked to himself. Finally, Maddie appeared with a towel. Shadow grabbed it and dried himself off. "I'll be in the living room if you need me." Maddie said, walking away. Shadow put the wet towel on a chair and walked into the living room. Maddie was on the couch, watching TV with a giant bowl of popcorn. Shadow sat next to her. "I want some popcorn."

Maddie held the bowl closer. "When you say please. Plus, what if you eat a lot?" Shadow scowled. "That's such a large bowl. Why don't you share some?" He jerked it towards him. Maddie smirked. "You're gonna have to fight for it, Shady." Shadow smirked as well, his crimson eyes staring into Maddie's midnight blue ones. He grabbed a fistful of popcorn and shoved it down her shirt. She yelled, and Shadow regretted it for a minute. Then she laughed and put some down Shadow's pants. They laughed and continued their popcorn fight until Maddie finally said "Okay! You win. Have all the popcorn you want."

Shadow grinned and stuck his hand down his pants and grabbed a fistful of popcorn. He ate happily, savoring his victory. Maddie ate the popcorn from her shirt. All of a sudden, Shadow dug his hands into Maddie's shirt. Maddie blushed a little, and then grinned as Shadow pulled out another fistful of popcorn. Maddie dug her hands into his pants and happily ate the popcorn. They continued eating popcorn from each other's cloths until the TV screamed

"HELLO! THIS IS JENNY FOX COMING TO YOU LIVE FOR MORE INFO ABOUT THE THUNDERSTORM!!!!!!!!"

Maddie covered her ears while Shadow pulled the remote from under his butt and turned the volume down. "Sorry, my ass must have turned the volume up." Maddie giggled. Then they turned their attention to the TV.

"The thunderstorm is very strong and dangerous like we said earlier. We recommend that locals stay indoors. Moving onto the new information, the thunderstorm is likely to continue throughout the night. The storm is predicted to end at 12:00pm tomorrow."

Shadow bit his lip and looked at the clock. 5:00pm. He couldn't go out into the storm. He turned toward Maddie. "May I use your phone?" Maddie nodded. "It's in the kitchen near the sink." Shadow got up. He walked into the kitchen and picked up the white phone. He dialed the number to Silver's phone and waited.

Silver's Apartment…

"Calm the fuck down Silver! I'm pretty sure Shadow's all right!"

Knuckles watched as Silver jumped and ran around the room. "SHADOW'S DEAD SHADOW'S GONE WHY DID WE LET HIM GO OUT NO WE ARE BAD PEOPLE WE HAVE TO TURN OURSELVES IN NO WE DESERVE TO DIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Knuckles sighed. Then Silver's phone rang. And he had Knuckles' most hated song as his ring tone.

"MY MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE BOYS—"

Knuckles jumped behind the couch. "MAKE IT STOP!!!!" He yelled. Silver calmed down and picked up the phone. "Maddie? This is kinda a bad time to call…" He then heard a very "man-like" voice on the other end reply in an annoyed tone "Do I sound like a fucking girl, dumbass?" A girlish laugh was heard in the background. Silver smiled. "Shadow?!?" Knuckles' head appeared from behind the couch. "Shadow?!?" He repeated. Silver and Knuckles both jumped into the air and danced. "SHADOW'S ALIVE!!!!" Shadow gritted his teeth. "Yes, now listen up because I have to tell you guys something." Silver and Knuckles became quiet. Shadow continued. 'Well, I'm at Maddie's house, and I have to stay over at her house." Silver chuckled. "Okay, did you bring some condoms?" There was a pause, then a long beep. Knuckles looked at Silver. "Well?" Silver closed his phone. "The damn thing hung up."

Maddie's apartment…

Shadow returned, a bit annoyed, into the living room. Maddie turned toward him. "How'd it go?" Shadow gritted his teeth. "A little annoying." Maddie smiled. "So, why were you even out in the storm?" Shadow blushed, not sure what to say. "Um, I, well…it's kinda…personal." Maddie nodded. "Oh, I see. Sorry for asking." Shadow blushed a little harder. "It's okay…"

"So where you gonna sleep tonight?" Maddie asked, twirling a spine around her finger. Shadow thought. Then before he could stop himself, he said "In your bed with you." He saw the tingle of blush in her cheeks, and then started to say "Um, I'm sorry. I didn't mean…" Maddie laughed. "Oh it's okay. You can if you want." Shadow's mouth didn't say no.

Suddenly, a giant and loud clap of thunder followed with lightning shuddered throughout the air and seemed to shake the house. The lights flickered, and went out. Darkness engulfed the house. Shadow, who was holding Maddie (who had jumped into Shadow's arms), looked around. "What happened?" Maddie took a few gulps of air, and then said:

"I think my house just got a blackout."

So, that's the 2nd chapter. I tried to make it longer than the 1st chapter, which was really short. Please read and review! Remember, this is my first fanfic, so it may not be the rest. I would like some advice to help me in future chapters! Thanks for reading!
