Here's that second one I promised! Enjoy! Also, I would like to clarify their ages. This is mostly because I want it to take place sometime after the whole "falling-to-Earth-from-space" thing he goes through and I like to think Amy's around 13 then. So, he'd be 14 during the whole situation above. Then advance two years (or a year and a half) and here is the story.

Shadow; 16

Amy; 15

Rating goes up to T now, too.

Disclaimer: I don't own Shadow or Amy, they belong to SEGA, blah, blah, blah…


x*The Mini Adventures of Shadow and Amy*x

-Chapter Six: Turning the Tables-


"Hello, Rose."

Amy looked up startled as Shadow approached her. Today, Amy had decided it was time she gave the ebony male a little break, especially after what was said last time, yet…

Here he was.

"Uh, hi Shadow. Wasn't…expecting to see you." she said.

"I know." He sat down next to her, under the shade of a wide canopy in the park and looked out onto the meadow that stretched as far as the eye could see. Tapping the tip of her boots together repeatedly as they sat in silence, Amy wondered if Shadow had meant what he said.

You know…about liking her…

"So, uh…how's it going?" Amy asked, trying to start a casual conversation.

"Fine." he simply replied, "How've you been?"

The pink female was busy trying to decipher his current tone, "Okay, I guess. I mean, I need to go shopping soon and it's getting colder now, so…yeah, just a bunch of things needed to be done." she said, looking down at a dandelion she had picked.

Shadow looked at it as she twirled it in her fingers, "I see you've found your flower."

"Yep. They grow in this meadow specifically, which is why I come here."

"It would seem so…" he trailed off, looking from one end of the field to the other and noticing nothing but the white fluff of the little plant and some still trying to bloom, here and there. A sea of yellow and white.

"Is that all you do when you're here?

"Not really. Sometimes, when people aren't around, I like to roll around in them. You know, just to the bottom of the hill, but it's fun. Then I'll sit and make flower crowns." Amy said, staring off into space.

"It sounds dangerous."

"You say that about everything I do that's, as you put it, 'reckless and unnecessary'."

"Won't you ruin your clothes? Don't you care if you roll into an ant hill? What if someone is watching and think you're a lunatic?" Shadow asked, and the female gave him a face.

"I need to get rid of this stupid red dress. There are no ant hills here, I would know! And if they think I'm crazy, they're wrong. I just have an imagination, " Amy rattled off and looked over at him, "Understand now?"

"Sure."

"Okay." They sat in silence for a few more minutes before Shadow decided to break it, for once. It seemed today he was turning the tables; getting to know her.

"Any other places you visit when you're not around your obnoxious bunch of friends?"

The pink female rolled her eyes, "We're not obnoxious, we just…we're just enthusiastic. And yes; I like midnight strolls on the beach, I sometimes go to this little café on Fifty-sixth street, or the library on Main; and I go to mall to window-shop or buy a thing or two. A bunch of other things- why are writing this down?"

The pen scribbling away on a piece of paper stopped as Shadow looked up and hid them, "I'm not."

"But you-"

"I wasn't."

"I just-"

"Nope."

"…"

"…"

"…Okay."

"You know what? I think I have everything I need." Shadow stood from his spot and began walking off.

"Everything you need? What do you mean?"

"You'll know soon enough…" and with that, he disappeared in a blur of black. Amy looked at the spot where he had once stood, but shrugged. Standing, she looked around before launching herself down the hill of dandelions, giggling with excitement.


As a total, both the previous and this make one thousand words. So, two for one today.

Well, so far, I haven't gotten my main chapter together, so don't expect it to come out in December. I may just focus on this for a minute and build it up. But, for those who'd care, you can go to Story Progress on my profile and keep up to date with what I COULD do.

Or just leave a review and tell me what you think of this. Either way, it'd be appreciated. Until next time… -D.A.K
