Chapter 2
Amy groaned, rolling around in her bed, before dropping on the floor. " Ouch! That actually hurt." She stood up and rubbed her bottom. Stretching up her arms, she stopped halfway and glanced at the pink clock on her nightstand. "One past eight." She muttered, making her way to her bathroom, while grabbing a towel on the way. "A long, warm bath will help me get ready for today." She walked inside the bathroom and locked it with a small click.
xXx
Humming gently to herself, while drying her hair with a towel, Amy walked up to a timetable she had made and flipped through it. "Let me see..." She trailed off, trying to find Tuesday. "Here it is!" She exclaimed, scanning the page. "Alright, so; have a bath/shower, eat breakfast, chase Sonic, go to Tails's and ask about Sonic's whereabouts, chase Sonic, have lunch, find Sonic, get caught by Eggman and then get saved by Sonic, and finally, go home and sleep." Amy frowned and put the timetable back in it's place. "As much as I love Sonic, doing the same thing is getting quite boring." A sigh left her lips.
The female made her way into the kitchen, where she poured cornflakes inside a bowl and poured milk on top. Grabbing a spoon and playing with the cereal for a bit, Amy began again," Chasing Sonic is a waste of time." She couldn't even believe the words that were coming out of her mouth, but she knew that it was true. "If Sonic showed me some kind of sign that he is interested in me, I wouldn't have minded, but... He's shown me nothing. I'm tired of wasting my time chasing Sonic!" She shoved the bowl away from her. "I need to talk a walk."
xXx
Amy was walking slowly, watching a couple holding hands and laughing at something the guy said. She heaved a deep sad sigh, wishing that it were her and Sonic instead of them. Amy shook her head. "Now remember what you said Amy." She told herself, glancing away from the happy couple.
When Amy had been taking a walk, she had come to the conclusion that she was going to stop chasing Sonic. Instead she was going to find something new to do, and if Sonic really liked her, he would be the one to come after her. In Amy's mind it was a great plan. She would know if Sonic liked her. If he didn't, she would just have to move on from him. The thought itself crushed her, knowing that she'd never feel this way about anyone else.
"I need to give it a try, if I want to find out if Sonic likes me without having to chase him all day long." The rose hedgehog glanced once more at the happy couple, smiling slightly before it disappeared. "If Sonic doesn't like me... Well, then I'd need to move on. Sonic isn't the only guy in the world, there are other cute guys who probably wouldn't mind dating me."

After lunch, Amy decided to head to her favourite park. She was now sitting on a bench, admiring the nature. Her eyes trailed around the park, over an ebony hedgehog, to some trees, before going back to the hedgehog. The female's eyes widened slightly. What was Shadow doing here? I thought that Shadow hated busy places, but then again it's quite uncrowded today. Amy thought to herself, not realising that she was practically staring at the dark hedgehog.
Shadow was sitting on the soft grass, with his back leaning against a tree. His eyes were closed and his mouth was set in a straight line, no smile or frown. He looks so peaceful. Amy thought, watching the black and red streaked hedgehog again. She stood up and walked to Shadow, being careful not to make a noise. " Why am I doing this?" She whispered quietly, crouching down, before sitting cross-legged on the grass. Amy looked at him again, trying to figure out the mysterious hedgehog. All I know is-Well, from what Sonic told me, he is dangerous and uncaring. She scanned the hedgehog before her again. He sure doesn't look like what Sonic describes him to be, even though he can be scary at times. Oh well, I need to be going now. If he sees me near him, he's gonna be real angry. Amy thought, nearly standing up, when the ebony hedgehog's eyes snapped open. Amy froze. She tried moving her legs, but they were wobbling like jelly. She couldn't even bring herself to look at Shadow, knowing that his red orbs were glaring at her.
"What are you doing here?" She heard him ask, before finally looking at him. His voice was quiet and calm, but she could see the annoyance in his eyes. Speaking of eyes, she finally got a chance to look at them closely. His eyes were blood red, showing no emotion except for irritation. She couldn't help but think that they were beautiful. "Well...?" Shadow asked again, crossing his arms, waiting impatiently for an answer. The pink hedgehog's cheeks turned red. She realised that she had been too busy staring at his eyes, instead of actually thinking of an excuse to say for being near him.
"I.. Uh... Well..." Amy tried to think of something to say, while she shifted from one foot to another. Come on Amy! She urged herself. Think of something, ANYTHING... She paused in her thoughts, quickly taking a peek at the hedgehog before her. His arms were still crossed and one of his feet were now gently tapping on the floor. "Um..." Amy started again, catching the dark hedgehog's attention.
After a few more seconds, with Amy mumbling nothing in particular, Shadow uncrossed his arms and said, "I don't know what you were doing here-," He looked at Amy, who bit her lip and looked down, before continuing, " However, you aren't worth my time." The ebony hedgehog glared at Amy a little, before he skated out of the park.
Amy let out the breath she had been holding and inhaled deeply. "That was close." She said, wiping invisible sweat off her forehead. " I actually thought that he was gonna chaos spear me or somethin', but he isn't that heartless. After all, I was just sitting near him, it wasn't like I kissed hi-" Amy blushed a tomato red, wondering where that thought came from and decided to direct her thoughts somewhere else. "I don't know why I went so close to Shadow in the first place." The pink female said, looking really confused.
Amy glanced at where Shadow had left from, a smile stretching across her peachy muzzle. "I got it! I'm not chasing Sonic anymore, so maybe I should get to know Shadow more bette- No, NO! He is dangerous!" She waved her hand in the air, a frown replacing her smile. "But I really wanna know why he is always so grumpy, so lonely.."She thought out loud, picturing the dark hedgehog in her mind, with a frown on his tan muzzle. "Come to think of it, I've never seen Shadow smile before." Amy thought that it was quiet strange for someone to NEVER smile. She shook her head off the thoughts, finding them less important at the moment. "Anyway, I AM going to find out more about Shadow. I used to always say, "don't judge a book by it's cover", and that's exactly what I'm doing right now. I'm judging Shadow, even though I don't know him."
The female slowly made her way out of the park, walking on the sidewalk. She inhaled the fresh air, a smile taking over her lips. "I thought that Sonic was mysterious, but Shadow totally wins the battle." Amy laughed quietly to herself. She stopped laughing and cleared her throat, seeming very excited. "So anyway, my new mission: figure out Shadow the hedgehog."
So how is the story so far? It was kinda hard writing this chapter, since I didn't know how to start this whole "mission" thing, but I really hope that you guys liked it. Please review, you all inspire me to write more. :) Oh and thanx to those people who alerted/favourited me and my story, thank you very much. (:
I'll try to have the next chapter up soon!
