Amy had only been in her room for about an hour with Cream, playing a nintendo switch with her when her door knocked. Amy sighed, she couldn't ever catch a break on her day off. She told Cream to go open it. The rabbit scurried along and opened the door, blushing when she saw it was Tails. He smiled gently at her, "Is Amy here? Shadow wants to see her in his room to... "rehearse" their lines." Cream nodded and turned to Amy, "Amy did you hear that?"

Amy threw on some swear pants and a light jacket, "Yeah I heard, what's doom and gloom want now?" Cream giggled at the nickname Amy had picked up for him from Rouge. It was true though.

"Shadow just wants your company. He also hasn't ate I don't think? So could you bring him some food?" Amy nodded and hugged Cream on her way out. She stepped passed the two and out into the hallway. With a goodbye she was off and disappeared behind the corner. Tails turned and gave the rabbit a sly look and she blushed. He stepped into the room, and closed the dorm behind him.


Amy knocked on Shadows door three times as she approached, her script enclosed in her arm. For some reason she kept thinking about Blaze and Shadow. Was it true? Were they really together? I mean, Amy herself had been living with Shadow for a long time. She thought she had a chance but if Blaze were in the picture now...

Shadow opened the door, and when he saw it was her, he motioned for her to come in, not saying a word as he shut the door behind them. He told her to wait for him, and then he turned to his personal room and went to take a shower. Amy sat nervously and looked around. There were a mess of piles of paper on his coffee desk. She went and arranged all of that for a few minutes, holding the papers to her chest as she aligned them. Then she placed and put them down on the table again. She looked around for something else to do, but found nothing. So she sat on the couch and turned the tv on as she waited for him to return. When Shadow returned he just stared at the back of her head. Amy turned and looked up at him, turning the volume down, "Hey."

"Hey."

"So uh, I had hardly any kind of appetite earlier... Did you want me to order any food?" Shadow pondered for a moment, and then texted his assistant and had him pick up some pizza to bring back for them. He looked back at Amy, "Already taken care of Rose."

"You didn't eat very much either... You don't need to skip meals Shadow." Her eyes furrowed. "It's really important to remember to eat." As she spoke, he just continued to stare at her. She bit her lip, he was probably mad at her for scolding him. She remembered when they first got married that she wouldn't interfere with his life, and now she was doing the exact opposite.

There was a knock on the door and Shadow motioned for Amy to hide in his bedroom. She scurried away quickly and he went to the door. He opened it only to discover Tails had come back. Shadow gave him a look of curiosity, "That was quick."

"I just ordered one from the buffet downstairs and brought it up here." Tails said, "How is everything going?" He handed Shadow the pizza and Shadow took it, trying to look away and hide his blush.

"It's uh, I'm having a hard time talking to her."

"Shadow you should just be honest with her..." Tails said. "It'll be a lot easier if you did. If you don't need me anymore I'm going to go back to Cream-I mean, work on some stuff."

Shadow smirked at the fox, "Right, work on some "stuff."

Tails blushed head to toe and scurried down the hallway back to the rabbit. Shadow shut the door and went back inside. He placed the small thin crust pizza on the counter and looked over to the bedroom, "You can come out now."

Amy poked her head out of Shadows bedroom door, "O-Okay." She stumbled over to Shadow licking her lips as she eyes the cheese and pepperoni, "That looks good." He smiled and put a slice on a plate for her,, then offered it. After that the two of them ate silently. Amy finished her plate and walked over to the sink and began washing it. Shadow stood behind her, then went forward as he pressed his chest up against her back and washed his plate over hers. She blushed a little more, not ready to make eye contact cause she was so nervous. The entire room was silent as Amy braved the waters and lifted her head up to look at Shadow. His ruby orbs were sparkling into hers. Amy stared at him as she felt herself being pulled into a trance. Suddenly they heard little tip taps from the window. They pulled away from each other quickly. Amy looked to the window and saw it had started raining. She ran to it and smiled, "Look Shadow, it's raining." He followed her to the window and stood next to her quietly. He looked at Amy's eyes in the window's reflection, they were sparkling with happiness.

"You like rainy days too?" He asked quietly.

"Yes, I love them."

Amy put her hand on the window and admired the rain some more, before turning to Shadow.

"You like rainy days also?"

"Yeah, I love them too."

"Any particular reason you love them?" Amy turned to face him fully and he smiled down at her. He pulled the window curtain down and sat on the couch, motioning for her to take a seat. She sat next to him and he pulled out a blanket to keep the two warm.

"At first, I really hated rainy days." He admitted, "But afterwards, because of an incident, I really started to like them."

Amy's heart skipped a beat as she realized his reason for liking the rain was the same as hers. She scooted closer, "What incident made you like rainy days?"

"It was the first time I got close to the most important person in my life." Shadow stopped, not wanting to ramble on. Amy had been watching him with such an intense look. He gulped, not wanting to expose himself, "Anyway, never mind, it's not worth mentioning."

"Oh, I thought you were gonna say something like 'you met the girl you liked' or something." Amy turned away quickly, not wanting to confront him anymore than that. So she focused on the rain again. She suddenly remembered that he had called her up there and she turned back, "So what did you need from me anyway?"
