x*The Mini Adventures of Shadow and Amy*x

-Chapter Eleven: A Hug for a Blush-

Amy silently giggled to herself while she spied on the unsuspecting ebony male a few feet away from her. He looked so cute snoozing and unaware of what was about to happen. Slowly, she made her way over to him and sat down. When he didn't stir away, she smiled. Giving herself away, she squealed and threw her arms around him, getting his attention.

Putting her head on his shoulder, she straddled him in one of her famous bear hugs. The female could hear his quick heartbeat from the little scare.

"Can you stop sneaking up on me?" Shadow asked with a grunt. She giggled.

"Of course not! I'm working on my ninja skills." The girl joked, smiling against his chest. She could practically feel him roll his eyes.

They sat in silence for a good minute before he sighed.

Pulling gently at her, "Can you let me go now?" he asked.

"I can't."

Sigh, "And why not?"

"Because you haven't said 'you're welcome' yet."

The male looked down at her in confusion, "What?"

Amy pulled back, but didn't loosen her grip and saw his face. A goofy little grin broke on her face as she saw pink tint on his tan muzzle, "You're blushing!" she cried happily.

He averted his gaze elsewhere, refusing to look at her, "Whatever…" he muttered.

Amy still didn't move from her hug and Shadow tried pulling at her again. She would not budge. Sighing in frustration, his blush glowing brighter, he tossed his head back against the tree trunk. Amy giggled and smiled.

"Please let me go," he said.

"I told you, you have to say 'you're welcome' before I do."

"For what?!" he cried in desperation. She giggled again.

"For yesterday, silly! Duh!" Amy laughed. He groaned and would've face palmed if his arms were free. Her and her strange antics…

With his eyes closed, and blush bright, "You're welcome…" he muttered. The pink female finally let go and sat next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Thank you," she beamed. Not looking at her, he crossed his arms and grunted. His blush was still there.

Awww, he does like me…

"You know, you're cute when you blush…" Amy said in a small childish voice, batting her eyelashes in fake shyness. Having enough, Shadow stands and stalks away just as he did yesterday. She had managed to embarrass him yet again!

He'd understand soon she hoped.

This one was incredibly short, but it's fluffy for sure. Anyway, I have news!

Good news, I got a new laptop for Christmas! Bad news, Microsoft Office isn't install on it and I have to buy the new Word from the store thingy. On top of that, my flash drive is broken so I can't transfer them onto my new computer and work on them. So now, to update my stories, I have to either use my old laptop as I am now or email them to myself and update from my new computer.

So much work. ._.

But, I'm going to deal until I get some money to purchase the new Word so I can work on my stories on my NEW computer. Hopefully, it won't be too long until I get my situation right.

Also, I'm considering doing a story in between time with this and my sequel (which is slowly, but surely in the works) but I'm having trouble deciding what. So, I would like to hear from you guys. I'll put this on my blog as well, for those who don't have an account, link is on my bio.

So, yeah. That's why I've been gone. I'll be back with something in the new year! Until then… -D.A.K
