x*The Mini Adventures of Shadow and Amy*x

-Chapter 19: Three Little Words-

In the darkness of her living room, save for the glow of the TV, Amy and Shadow sat watching a movie. With the pink female resting his lap and a bowl full of buttery popcorn in hers, engrossed in the horror film being shown at the late hour. The ebony hedgehog, however, didn't seem to fazed by the content.

"Oh no...why do they always split up…?" Amy asked the people in the movie aloud. Shaking his head at her, he reached around her to eat some of the popcorn. On screen, a fox and her companion were hiding behind some trees. They whispered to each other, worrying over the safety of their other friends, wandering the woods as well.

"Because it's a movie." Shadow retorted sarcastically. He was shushed by the girl and he rolled his eyes. The fox on screen screamed making the poor girl and unfortunately drop the bowl...into Shadow's hand. He set it on the couch and shot her a look.

She smiled sheepishly, "Hehe, sorry."

"We'll just leave there from now on."

"I wasn't that scared!" the female defended, but this only held true for a few seconds as she screamed herself when the 'bad guy' caught the two hiding. Blood was everywhere as he slashed at their bodies. When it finally over, she cleared her throat.

"Uhm..."

"I wasn't that scared!" Shadow mocked. Amy glared at him and crossed her arms.

"I don't sound like that."

"I don't sound like that."

"Stop!" The ebony male chuckled.

~.~

During the second movie, Shadow had got up for a bathroom break where he received a call. He waited until after Amy's scream loud to be heard had ended.

"Hello?"

"Sorry for the last minute notice, but the General needs you and I for a mission tonight." Rouge said.

The male sighed, "Tell him I'm busy."

"I don't think a date is a good enough reason to disobey his order..."the bat stated, her sarcasm was evident in her voice.

"...Fine." He hung up before she could go on, not in the mood for her attitude. Sighing, he left and went to back to Amy.

~.~

"Ahh!"

"Relax Rose, it's just me." said the male, as he appeared in the living room. The girl held a hand over her racing heart, breathing heavily.

"Jeez! Make some noise, would ya?!" she exclaimed. He chuckled, a smirk playing at his lips but he didn't sit and she noticed, "Is something wrong?"

"Well, yes and no. You see...I have to go in to work last minute." Shadow said, he walked over to the couch, standing behind her. Amy looked up at him with a frown.

"Awwe. Can't they wait?" the female whined.

"I'm afraid not..."

Amy turned around, and crossed her arms, irritated, "Who calls someone at one in the morning anyway?" she huffed childishly. Shadow let a small smirk appear before he brushed her quills away from her face.

"I wonder the same thing myself." he said. With that, he began to make his leave. The pink female then started to pout. She didn't necessarily want to watch scary movies by herself...that wouldn't end well.

"How long will you be gone?"

Her sudden question caused him to stop for a moment. Looking back over his shoulder, "I can't say at the moment. Shouldn't be too long." he said.

"Too long as in…?"

He rolled his eyes, "No more than one to three days."

"Three?!" she exclaimed.

"Yes, three. Surely, you can survive three days at the most without my presence?" Shadow teased. Somewhat speechless, he continued on his way out. He had his hand on the doorknob when he felt arms wrap around him. He sighed and looked back at the girl.

"Promise you'll come back?" Amy said softly, hiding her blushing face.

Shaking his head slightly, "Yes, Rose. The sooner you let me go, the sooner I can come back."

"..."

"..."

"...I love you..."

"...Words couldn't express how much I love you," The pink female blushed harder as he turned and kissed her. Pulling away shortly after, he looked her in the eyes, "But I'll be sure to think of something to tell you by the time I get back." Kissing her rosy cheek, she simply said "okay" and watched him finally walk out the door.

~.~

"What took you so long to get here?" Rouge asked, with her hands on her hips. Shadow slipped on his gear for the mission as a small smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry about it..." he said, waving her off.

Kind of a cheesy ending, I know. XD That's what happens when I get writer's block. Hopefully next chapter will be out faster. Thanks for your patience, guys! :D
