x*The Mini Adventures of Shadow and Amy*x

-Chapter Four: Colors-

This is becoming an all-too regular habit for her…

Approaching the ebony hedgehog, Amy continued her walk towards him which a smile as bright as ever, seeming to sparkle in the sunlight. Huffing, the male prepared himself for whatever was to come this time. Flowers, and rainy days…what more was there left to do?

"Hi, Shadow!" the female greeted, plopping down in front of him as she had some time ago. There was no basket with her, just her in all her cheerfulness. Oh, he could already feel the headache…

"Hello…Rose." he replied, using her new acquired nickname. He could see a blush appear on her face upon hearing it, "Whatever do I owe the honor of being bestowed your presence?" his formal way of speaking was on purpose to get her even more riled up.

He caught her small huff, brushing her bangs away from her face, "I came up with another friendship activity we could do." Amy said, the cheeriness never leaving her voice.

Again with this?

"And what could you possibly come up with now?" Shadow asked, hinted irritation in the statement. The tone went unnoticed.

"Maybe instead of flowers, I could guess your favorite color instead. That's a lot easier to do." she said, her jade green orbs sparkling. She knew he couldn't cheat his way out of this one and make her give up.

He sighed this time aloud, "What is it with you and your silly little guessing games?" His only response was a simple shrug. Rolling his eyes, he figured he might as well put up with it, "Alright, get on with it."

"Okay, I have a very strong feeling your favorite color is black. Am I right?"

"No. In fact, you couldn't be even more wrong than that flower thing." Shadow pointed out rudely.

"Alright then, blue."

"The color of my enemy, no thanks."

"Red?"

"Tempting, but no."

"Pink?"

"I again bring up the fact that I'm not a girl." the ebony hedgehog said, crossing his arms.

"Grey."

"No."

"Turquoise."

"That's technically still blue."

"It's a shade of blue, Shadow." Amy pointed out. The black hedgehog stuck his nose in the air. Narrowing her eyes, she searched her mind for anything the hedgehog couldn't object to and give a possible clue as to what it was.

"Green…?"

"Close…what shade of green?" he asked her in return. She thought of the shades she knew of.

"Grass?" He shook his head.

"Light?" He shook his head.

"Yellow-Green?" He sneered in what she thought of as disgust and shook his head.

"…Emerald?"

"Almost got it." Thinking and thinking… aha!

"JADE!" Amy cried out in triumph. Shadow gave the girl a well deserved round of applause - though it sounded mocking in a way.

"I guess I kind of gave that one away, if you think about it…" he said.

"No! But, I didn't give up this time, so ha! In your face!" Amy said, happy with her victory.

"…But do you know why I like that specific shade of green?" he asked, suddenly. Looking back at him confused, she shook her head.

"No. Care to tell?" He shook his head for the sixth time that evening.

"Go home, and look in a mirror, then ask yourself why I do." and with that, the male suddenly disappeared in a flash of green, obviously from Chaos Control.

~.~

After going home and doing as the mysterious male instructed, the femele found out that her eyes were the very shade of green he liked. This was little surprising and answered as to why he just had to point out that he like that specific shade.

Does this mean he just really likes this shade…or does it mean he likes my eyes? Or could it mean possibly more than he's letting on…?

Another one down, so many to go. The next chapter's name is undecided at the moment but you'll now what it is when I update it. Until then… -D.A.K
