Disclaimer: You already know I own nothing; you just want me to write it so I'll feel bad about myself.
I'm back! And with chapter 3! These reviews came quicker than expected. Thanks again for reading and or sticking with me. Now let's get on with the story!
Eventually Amy and Sonic went back to their dorm rooms…….
When Amy got back Rouge was half asleep still flipping through channels.
"Oh you're back, and you brought a smile, how'd it go?"
"Oh fine, except I got a ring."
"Awesome. Am I the bridesmaid?" Rouge giggled a bit.
"I'm not married; it's just a promise ring." Then she looked at Rouge's appearance "Did you even go on your date?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"Nothing." Amy said quickly.
"I did actually. And I got pizza."
"How did it go?"
"Well after two weeks and so and so days Rouge the bat is no longer single and yada yada yada."
"You don't sound too enthused."
"Amy I'm half asleep. Besides it's not all that great. You're a hostage basically; I'm still trying to figure out how you people live like this."
"Rouge……..you were dating just Scourge last week."
"That was different; I was just trying to make Fiona mad." Rouge closed her eyes.
"When will you two just get along?"
"The same blue moon you and Sally get along."
"Which means when there's chalk around my body."
"Here you got a letter." Rouge handed her an envelope.
"This late?" Amy asked taking it.
"Yeah, that bunny girl delivered it. My head is going to implode if I half to listen to her and those blue floating things again."
"Did you read it?"
"No. What do I look like reading your mail? I get enough."
"You hardly receive any mail."
"Exactly." Rouge said drifting off.
Amy shook her head at her silly friend and opened it. Inside was a small note with the big words: I KNOW –SHADOW imprinted on it. Her eyes grew wide with fear while in the meantime Sonic had received a note too. His said: MEET ME AT GREY ALLEY TOMMOROW AT 8.
"I bet this is from Sally. Hey Knuckles!" Sonic called out to his friend who was in the bathroom.
Knuckles came out of the bathroom with no shirt on and shaving cream on his face. He had a razor in his hand.
"What?"
"Dang. Why do you have shaving cream on? You have no hair!" Sonic hunched over laughing which only angered his red hot headed friend.
"Bite me." Knuckles growled.
"I'm sorry buddy, but you got to admit its funny."
"What did you call me out here for?" Knuckles asked annoyed.
"Alright, alright. I got this letter from Sally saying she wants to meet me in Gray Alley."
"Really now? That girl is freaky."
"Yeah, I'm going to tell her off once and for all."
"So I'm assuming your date thing went well." Knuckles leaned against the wall.
"Yes sir. Am I assuming the same for you?"
"Yeah."
"I still can't believe you like that flirtatious, bubble-headed brat, I mean bat."
"She's hotter than fire and she's actually very intelligent. We had a whole conversation and I didn't understand a thing she said."
"You never understand what any girl says; you're too busy staring at their chest and or behind." Sonic grabbed the remote.
Knuckles shrugged and was about to go back into the bathroom but he stopped himself.
"Did you talk to Shadow lately?"
"Nope." Sonic flipped through channels "Why?"
"Just wondering."
Something about Knuckles's attitude changed and Sonic noticed.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah………I just……….I just need my inhaler." Knuckles quickly went into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
"…………I didn't know you had asthma." Sonic mumbled.
Sonic ate and went to sleep as everyone else did eventually.
At school in the morning Amy saw Sonic and attached herself to his arm.
"So, you want to go to a movie or something later?"
"Nah, sorry, I'm too busy. I have to meet someone at Gray Alley."
Amy froze; she already knew.
"But I'm pretty sure it's Sally." Sonic said.
"No, no, no. Please don't go, please don't leave me. Please no, please." Amy whined.
"Calm down, I'm just going to tell her to chillax."
"What if it's not Sally?"
"Who else could it be?" Sonic looked at her questionably .
"I don't know. Silver, Jet, or possibly Shadow." Amy looked away.
"Silver is on vacation, Jet is my worst enemy so we don't talk to each other, and Shadow………it seems like everyone is mentioning him."
"Hello. Jail for attempted murder, are you deaf?"
"I'll see you Ames." With that Sonic left.
"I have to follow him." Amy made a decision.
That night Sonic waited in the cold in the alley.
"It's freezing out here. Where is Sally?"
"Probably at her dorm."
Sonic jumped when Shadow came out of the darkness.
"Oh hey Shadow, you startled me. Did Sally ask you to come here too?"
"Are you stupid? Or are you really that clueless? I wrote the note, me!"
"You? Why?" Sonic asked stupidly.
"How do I, Shadow, lose Amy to a silly little cocky jock like you? I don't, which is why you're going to dump her." Shadow growled.
"Are you nuts? Do you know how much that ring cost?"
"Less than your casket." Shadow pulled out his gun.
"True but I'm still not dumping her."
Shadow couldn't believe it.
"Shadow stop!" Amy ran up to them out of breath.
"Great, just perfect." Shadow mumbled.
"You followed me?" Sonic asked her.
"I had no choice."
"Either way." Shadow said.
He pointed the gun at Sonic and Sonic put his hands up.
"No Shadow, don't do it." Amy said scared.
Shadow pointed the gun at her.
"Well I don't want you to shoot me either." Amy put her hands up.
"Don't worry, I'm not." He pointed it back at Sonic "At first I thought it was your knuckle headed friend. Can you believe he kept his attitude even with a gun to his head? He's a piece of work, he'd better watch himself."
"Spare me the lecture." Sonic mumbled to himself.
"Okay. Have it your way. Now you die."
"Shadow please don't do this."
"Be quiet."
"Amy it's okay, I can easily run out of here."
"There's that cocky attitude of yours. Okay, so you can run out of here. That doesn't mean she can." Shadow grinned evilly and pointed the gun at her.
Amy's jaw dropped, Shadow really was a nut case, and now her life was being threatened. Sonic frowned and glared at the dark hedgehog.
"You wouldn't dare."
"In the words of your hot headed friend, you don't know me too well."
"I could run and save her."
"By the time you reach her the bullet will be one inch away from her head." Shadow said "Not to cocky now are you?"
In reality Shadow had no type of intention on shooting Amy, he just wanted Sonic. But they didn't know that and they wouldn't know that. Sonic also could've got Amy and ran away but he didn't want to take any chances. Shadow pointed the gun back at Sonic and put his finger on the trigger.
"You know Shadow; it doesn't have to be this way."
"Be quiet." Shadow said sternly.
"We could talk about it instead." Amy tried to reason with him.
"Shut up." Shadow grew irritated; he wanted this moment to be perfect.
"It doesn't have to be this way."
"I said shut your mouth!"
He swung around and pulled the trigger by accident and the bullet was heading straight for Amy. The pink terrified hedgehog was frozen in position and awaited death. Fortunately and unfortunately Sonic jumped in the path of the bullet. There were three hits. The bullet hit him, then Sonic hit his head on a dumpster and finally Sonic hit the ground.
Yes, it's short, I know. Still tell me about it, I'd like to read your opinions. Also just to let you know, the title doesn't make sense now but it will eventually. Chapter 4 might take a while, just letting you know. I might go on vacation soon, either that or my brothers might annoy me to the point I throw the computer at them. :P So I hope you liked it and thanks for everyone who reviewed; I appreciate it. –Kid Socks
