"So, how did you know that there was a bomb in the shop?" Amy asked curiously, crossing one leg over the other.

"I heard the doctor talking about it." Shadow replied, crossing his arms across his chest. The pink hedgehog narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Hmmm... Why would he put a bomb between innocent people?" The pink female wondered, talking to herself. She then smiled at Shadow. "Anyway, it was very kind of you to save them! How are your wounds? Would you like me to take the bandages off for you?"

"It's alright. I can do it myself." The ebony hedgehog answered, tearing the bandages away from his body, not even caring that he was wounded and it would hurt him. Amy flinched slightly, as if the bandages were getting ripped from her.

"Let me do it, Shadow." She stood up, walking towards him. Amy gently ripped the bandages from Shadow's body, unaware of his eyes watching her. The ebony hedgehog smiled slightly, surprising even himself, while shaking his head. The rose female would slowly peel the white bandages off, before wincing, as if she was the one with the wounds. Her behaviour always amused him.

Some knocking on Amy's front door broke the quiet atmosphere, causing the pink hedgehog to stand up and look apologetically at Shadow. "I'll be right back, don't rip it yourself." She smiled at him, before turning towards the door, muttering, "Looks like I've got popular these days…" Just like before, she pulled the door open, not even a little bit afraid of the person behind the door being a killer or anything. Of course, no one would be scared with the Ultimate Lifeform in their house! The pink hedgehog looked up from her bangs, a gasp leaving her lips, before they curved up slowly. "Sonic! It's really nice to see you, come in!" Inside, Shadow flinched at the blue faker's name, thinking of a way to escape before he saw faker's ugly blue face.

The blue blur smiled a bit at Amy's bright face at seeing him, following her inside the house. "Um, Ames, I wanted to talk to you about…" Sonic's voice trailed off, eyes widening a bit. He saw Shadow sitting down on the sofa, an annoyed expression on his face. The azure hedgehog turned to Amy, who was perfectly comfortable with having Shadow in her house. "Can I talk to you, Amy?" He asked, the pink hedgehog turning to look at him with a puzzled look.

"Sure."

"In private," Sonic added, glancing at the ebony male from the corner of his eye. Shadow caught his gaze, glaring at him intensely, both red eyes making his glare more effective.

Amy didn't seem to notice the hatred coming in waves from the ebony hedgehog, nor the glaring contests between the two males. "Um, come on then," She said to Sonic, who walked to stand next to her, before she turned to Shadow, "I won't be long." She smiled slightly, striding out of the room, with the blue male right next to her.

xXx

Once they were in Amy's room, Sonic closed the door, before turning to the pink hedgehog. "What are you thinking, Ames? Don't you know how dangerous Shadow is?" He asked, keeping his voice low.

"He's not dangerous, Sonic. He's just like any other person, except he's being judged." Amy replied, defending herself… Or was it Shadow?

"Are you saying I'm judging him? No, Ames, he is dangerous, can't you see that for yourself? Haven't you-"

"Have you watched the news, Sonic?" Amy cut him off, immediately silencing the blue male. "Shadow saved people from dieing! Don't tell me that he hurts or kills humans, because he doesn't!" Amy's voice rose up, Sonic staring at her in shock.

"Amy? Why are you…?" The azure hedgehog started, watching Amy bite her bottom lip.

"Look, Sonikku, I'm just stating the truth. I don't know why you two don't like each other." The pink hedgehog ran a frustrated hand through her pink quills. "I like both of you, both of you are my friends, and I don't like seeing people I care for hating each other." Even though Shadow was downstairs, he had good hearing, so he could hear everything they said. He frowned slightly, crossing his arms. Amy had told him earlier that she considered him a friend, but he didn't think that she liked him as much as the faker.

"I did watch the news, Ames; I was here because of that. I know that he saved those people, and I wanted to ask you something," Sonic breathed, looking down. "You might think it's childish, but… Am I still your hero?"

Amy's head snapped up, staring at Sonic. She smiled her biggest smile, the urge to hug him coming back slowly. "Of course! Why wouldn't you be my hero?" She questioned, watching Sonic lift his head up.

"Because… Um, well, you know…Shadow saved them when I didn't." He replied, causing Amy to grin.

"You're soooo cute! You know you can't be in two different places, even if you're the fastest thing alive, so it's no problem. It's not childish of you to say that, it's actually very cute!" The pink hedgehog squealed, reaching up to pinch the blue hero's cheeks. In the living room, Shadow rolled his eyes, feeling slightly disgusted. He didn't understand why Amy found the faker cute.

"Ames, how did you know that I was somewhere else, or should I say, why do you think I was…?" The blue hedgehog scratched his head a little, glancing at Amy.

"Well, you always go to Tails's in your free time, so I thought that maybe you were at his workshop when the shop exploded." The rose hedgehog answered, thinking about Shadow, and how he saved those… Her eyes widening slightly, she prayed that the ebony hedgehog hadn't left her house, because she knew how he was like. Before she could say anything else, Sonic spoke up.

"How did he know that there was a bomb in the shop?" Sonic eyes narrowed in suspicion, as if he thought that Shadow had put the bomb in there.

Frowning, Amy asked, "Are you saying that Shadow did that?" Her mood changed completely, causing Sonic to stammer.

"N-no, I-I was just…"

"Listen to me, Sonic." Amy glared at him a little, no longer smiling at her beloved blue hero. "If you say that Shadow planted that thing there, why would he go back and save those humans, hmm?"

"I didn't mean it that way, Amy. I only wanted to know how he found out that there was a bomb…" Sonic replied, wondering why Amy defended the black and red hedgehog.

"He heard Eggman talking about it." The pink hedgehog replied, still frowning.

"Eggman? Why would he do that?" Sonic asked, not understanding, like Amy, why the crazy doctor would want to harm innocent people. "Well that's all I wanted to ask you, I'll leave now." Sonic said, turning towards the door before he stopped. "Be careful, Ames. If you think that Shadow is your friend and he's not dangerous, I won't stick my nose in your business, but just be careful." He frowned at Shadow's name, causing Amy to smile slightly, her attitude changing completely. She caught a hint of jealousy in his voice whenever he talked about the ebony hedgehog, so could he be jealous? There was a possibility. Sonic thought that he wasn't Amy's hero anymore because Shadow saved those people, and he didn't, so…

"Later, Ames." Sonic waved his hand, speeding out of the room so fast that Amy only caught a faint blue trail behind him.

"Did Sonic just come to my house?" Amy asked stupidly, but she couldn't believe that she acted that way towards him, when he rarely visited her. Shadow coming into her mind again, she ran out of the room, climbing down the stairs quickly. Her heart thumping in her chest, Amy prayed again and again that the ebony hedgehog hadn't left her house, but knowing him, he got bored easily and… Amy's heart dropped. When she was with him, he always said that he was going to leave, and with her not there…

She was at the bottom of the stairs, rushing in the living room, only to be faced with an empty sofa. Sighing loudly, she slumped down on the couch, massaging her forehead. "Why did you leave, Shadow?" She asked softly, sighing. Something then came into Amy's head, which made her think that was why Shadow left. The ebony hedgehog must have heard her and Sonic's conversation, and the blue male was suspicious about Shadow, he must have thought she was too. "I'd never be suspicious of you, Shadow. Friends believe each other right?" Amy spoke to herself, not seeing the black shadow outside her window. The unknown hedgehog stood there for a few more minutes, before running off. His upturned quills giving him away...
