"Oh, Amy! I... hm.. hi!" Rouge turned and smiled broadly.

'Ohhhhh. Shit.' Knuckles sweat dropped waving at Amy slightly.

"Amy! I had the best dream ever! Wanna hear it?" Red tugged Amys arm to the stairs and began her tale.

"That was close... Shadow coulda said something.. I hadn't even NOTICED the time." Rouge face palmed looking at Knuckles who had half lid eyes. "Oh? Babe what's wrong?"

"Nothing really... I was just thinking of Red..."

"Why Red?"

"..." He looked up to meet her blue orbs. "I just need to think. That's all."

He got up and went to the back door, and sat on the banister near the stairs from the porch.

Rouges eye brows furrowed and gave a confused grin. 'When did he get all sentimental?'

-With Red and Amy.-

"So, that's what happened!" Red finished and Amy looked depressed almost. They were relaxing on the balcony out back on the second floor.

"Wow, Uhm... What an imagination... Now, have you guys eaten?" Amy checked her iPhone.

"We had pizza about two hours ago." Red looked at the sky.

"Well are you guys still hungry?" Amy put on a quizzical look and stared at the streets.

"Well I know I am. I'm not sure about the others. And you know Shadow hardly eats. He just stays in the rec room working out..." Red chuckled.

"Speaking of which. I'm going to change clothes and check on him." Amy patted the table and went to the balcony door.

'Wait. Where did shadow put that box?' "Uh, AMY!"

"Yes, Red?" Amy turned around hand on the knob.

"How about a relaxing hot shower before changing? I'll set out your pjs if you wouldn't mind!" Red stood up reaching the door and smiled at Amy.

"..." Amy cupped her chin and winked. "Hmmm... Alright. I'll head for the showers then, thank you very much, Red!" And so Amy went to the master bed room where Shadow and her slept and went straight to the bathroom with Red following silently behind.

'I have to find the dress and move it. She can't find out...' Red saw that Amy had locked the bathroom door.

Not to be a hypocrite, she had gotten out Amys silky blue pj pants and top. Once she had done that she looked in the closet and next to the dresser for the box, and yet nothing.

'What the hell? Where could his box be...?'

She double checked the closet and went to Shadows side of the bed and sat. 'Hmm...'

She swung her legs back and forth and heard a thunk from under the bed.

"Oh!"

She hopped off the bed and found the very same box from earlier. She threw her fist in the air and whispered 'yessss' silently.

Snatching the box between her elbow and chest, she quickly and quietly escaped into the hallway to the rec room.

Once she got to the rec room, she noticed Rouge and Shadow watching a football game dully.

"Guys! I had to take the box before Amy found it!" Red pulled the box in front of her and panted.

"What? Why did you move it? Where is Amy?" Shadow got up snagging the box back and stared at Red.

"She was going to change clothes and come meet you, but I suggested a shower so I could snatch the box and relocate it." Red stood firmly, alittle scared of what Shadow would say.

"..." He took the box and put it in a closet that was built into the wall behind coats and umbrellas. "It will stay here. We would not need the coats or umbrellas so no one should be snooping around there."

"Around where, Shadow?" Amy came down in her silk pjs and a towel drying her ears.

"Rose! What I was explaining to .. to Red was-"

"He was explaining to me why the orange flag was on the white line instead of closer to the bleachers." Red pointed to the t.v screen with the football game on it.

"Oh, that's nice." Amy went to Shadow and kissed his cheek. But he grabbed her waist and kissed her lips.

Red and Rouge smiled and left the rec room.

"How was your lil trip, shady?" Amy asked Eskimo kissing him. (That's rubbing nose-to-nose.^.^)

"It was ok, I brought groceries. Enough for the month." He nuzzled her neck and nibbled on her shoulder.

Amy giggled uncontrollably, scrunching up her shoulders. "Shadow! Stop it!"

"Why? I'm having too much fun." He nibbled at her shoulders again and licked her cheek.

Amy tried walking backwards, and ended up tripping. Amy fell on the couch with Shadow still playfully nipping at her neck and shoulders, laying on top of her.

Soon, Shadow stopped and stared Amy in her eyes, smiling. He would only smile like that around her. This was one of the many reasons he was serious about marrying her.

"Finally!" Amy grasped her sides and tried to breath correctly.

"Sorry, I just love you. You know that." Shadow nuzzled her forehead and kissed her nose.

"I love you, too, Shadow. I really do." She kissed his chin and worked her way up to his lips where the locked once more and kissed slower, deeper.

-With Rouge, Red & Knux...-

"Uncle Knux? Are you doing ok?" Red put a hand on his shoulder. Yet he didn't move.

"Babe. She asked if you were ok!" Rouge slapped his shoulder, and he still didn't move.

"Babe, I said I needed to think, so do you mind?" Knuckles kept his arms crossed and his gaze at the floor below.

"Hmph." Rouge spent no time leaving him, and Red at his side.

"I hope everythings ok, Knuckles..." Red patted his shoulder and went to the patio door.

"It will be."

She turned and looked at the back of his head look up st the setting sun. She smiled and returned inside.

'Hmm... I wonder whats up with Knuckles... Usually he hardly thinks...'

Red traveled to the Rec Room to see the lights dimmed.

"Did they leave?" Red being lazy decided not to check it out and instead order some chinese food for herself.

"Halooo this is big wok, what would you like?"

"Hehe, Hi. I would like the chicken lo mein and a small order of fries. Oh, and a homemade ice tea! medium."

"Ok, that'll bbeeeee, 20 flat, is this for delivery or pickap?"

"I'll pick it up. How long?"

"For small order, 15 minute flat."

"Ok, I'll Be there."

^click^

Red went to her closet and picked out something alil more decent to wear. She picked out a pink shirt that had a hood connected around the shoulders, black pants and she got her new black and hot pink shoes on and grabbed her keys and phone.

"I'm getting myself food! Be back later!" Red called to those who coulda heard and left.

-with Shadow and Amy-

"Oooh, so close!"

"Come on..."

"Oh, my chaos!"

"Wait for it!"

"AH!"

"TOUCHDOOOOOOOOWNNN! THE GIANTS WIN!"

"Haaaaaaaa! Pay up, Amy!" Shadow held out his hand and faced the shocked Amy.

"What the hell? Romo HAD that!" Amy took out a sack of Rings and handed it to Shadow pouting. "Landry got in the way!"

"Aww, my Rose, its ok. Now, we know the giants are better." He chuckled jingling the pouch of rings.

"Shut it!" Amy pointed a finger and walked to the bed.

They went from the rec room to their room to finish watching the game.

"Oh, its gonna be a long week..." Shadow scratched his head and joined Amy on the bed nuzzling her neck.

MWAHAHAHAA…
