Shadow set Amy on the bed gently. When he looked up, his red eyes settled on her face. She was looking up at him with wide eyes and a blush on her face. The mood in the room changed as his heart started racing and her face got redder. He reached out to her with one hand and carressed her face slightly. She felt excited, but then she frowned when she realized he was wiping off milk that still caked her lips. He smiled at her, "Goodnight" and then made his way to the sofa in the same bedroom. He laid down on it with a pillow and blanket. Neither of them spoke, both were too anxious to sleep. Amy turned in the bed and smiled as she saw Shadow's figure sleeping on the couch with his back to her. She cuddled up under the blankets a bit more and breathed in his scent. Eventually she passed out, her breathing slowing as she was wisked away into dream world. Shadow sighed and then stood up from his sofa and walked towards the bed. He leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead, then went back to his sofa.
Shadow's back took four days to heal. In those four days neither of them went to work. Amy stayed at the house and took care of him while he recovered. During those four days, those two had conversations that last longer than any they've had in a total of the past five years. However, they couldn't stay in that mansion forever as on day five Shadow's phone went off.
"Hello?" He said quickly as he answered the phone.
"Shadow, it's Tails. There is a mandatory meeting today and you are required to be there."
"Alright, I shall leave immediately." He looked to Amy, "Time to go back to the set. My back is feeling better anyway." Amy nodded, as she was all ready and had her bag and her wallet and phone. They said bye to Vanilla as they headed to their cars. Shadow hopped into his and she did hers. However Shadow's car wouldn't start for some reason. He glared at it then tried to turn it on again. Nothing. He got out of his car and walked over to Amy who had seen the whole thing and got into her passenger seat.
"Car trouble?" She asked. He nodded, and she smiled in return as they made their way back to the set. He had her drop him off at the main headquarters for his meeting. He walked out and thank her, before turning to walk inside. She nodded and pulled out of the parking lot and drove away. Shadow watched, making sure she had gotten out safely before going into the elevator.
Little did they know someone had been watching.

Blaze had been taking a week off for a vacation. She had wanted Silver to take a week off with her but he was busy filming. She was a little upset but decided if she was going to be on vacation she might as well spend it with him on set. That day Silver had to sign a contract at the companies head quarters so he picked Blaze up as they made their way there. He pulled into a parking spot in the garage parking and turned the engine off. Before he could even say anything Blaze grabbed him by the front of his suit and pulled him in for a kiss. He growled and slipped his arms around her waist as he kissed her deeper. They made out in the front of the car for a few minutes before Silver pulled away tring to breathe, "There, no more being upset because of my filming now, got it?"
Blaze nodded and stuck her tongue out at him teasingly. Just then she saw a familiar license plate in the rear view mirror and she turned her head. Her eyes widened as she saw Amy and Shadow sitting in the front seat. She watched Shadow get out of the car and watch Amy leave, then turn to go inside. Shadow had a car, so how come he was in Amy's? When did they get so close?
"Blaze. Blaze?" He flicked her forehead and she jumped, turning to him quickly with a startled expression.
"Whatcha looking at?" He asked curiously. She shook her head.
"It's nothing."
Silver had gone in to sign a product endorsment with KFC. However, this one was always going to be open 24/7. Silver and his manager went over the contract to make sure there were no issues. Once the clearance was done, Silver went ahead and signed it. When he finished writing his signature, Blaze saw a row of zero's next to a one and she was shocked with how much money he would be making. She shook her head quickly and pointed at the contract, "Hey, did you know Amy's favorite food is from KFC? It's their plain tenders."
"Really?" Silver smiled wide, "That's great. Maybe one day I can take the both of you out for free, it'll be my treat." Blaze smiled widely at him.
"Amy would love that. That'd be great."
Silver signed a few more lines in his contract before reaching over and handing it to the copyright manager. He took Blaze's hand as the two turned to leave before they saw Shadow walking over to them. Silver stopped walking and smiled, "Hey, Shadow!" Shadow was about to say something to the silver hedgehog, but when he saw Blaze standing there he instantly shut his mouth and said nothing. He turned to look at the copyright manager.
"Did you find it?"
"I did." The manager handed the paper that Shadow had been looking for earlier. Shadow gave a nod and a thanks and then turned to the two, "See you Silver." He strode past the two without saying so much of a word to Blaze.
When Shadow's meeting had finished it was already eight in the evening. Shooting would be done soon and people would be hungry. He thought back to what Blaze had said and turned to Tails. The fox could feel Shadow looking at him and his tail stood up. He turned quickly, "What is it Shadow?"
"That new restaurant Silver endorses, order a lot of tenders and sides from that place. They should be just about done shooting, so if anyone is staying in the hotel they can all eat dinner."
Tails didn't find this suspicious at all. Many times producers and directors would do something like this to thank the set and crew for their hard work. It was no different for Shadow. Even though he hated socializing, he would always do his part if the participants were working hard. So Tails followed these orders, and then got off the phone and stood next to Shadow. He smlied, "All done. Should be here soon." Shadow nodded and he and the fox made their way to the set, as Shadow sent a quick text to Knuckles.
It took 5 minutes for them to reach the set by car. As soon as they got there the shooting had finished and Knuckles grabbed his microphone, "Good job everyone. To thank you all for your hard word, executive Shadow has bought you all dinner." A round of cheers were heard as a KFC truck pulled up to the set. A few crew members started putting tables from props together so people could have seats. Shadow walked over and paid the delivery driver and then had him help carry the catering bags over to the table. They had opened it and everyone practically melted at the smell. There was more than enough to go around so everyone sat together and took pictures of their food and posted it on twitter, tagging Shadow as they did and thanking him for the meal.
Amy had a scene to shoot that night so she had been there all day. She had just come out of make up, relieved that her face was back to not being so caked, when she saw all the commotion outside. She looked over at Cream with a confused look, but the rabbit giggled as she linked her arm with the rabbit and pulled her along. Rouge had been sitting next to Shadow and waved them over, showing that there were two empty spots by them. Amy smiled and sat by Shadow as Cream sat on the other side of Rouge. Tails smiled from across them and held out two plates to Amy and Cream, "Dinner is on the house, paid for by Shadow tonight." Amy smiled and took her plate as she turned to Shadow.
"Thank you, Shadow." Amy said. Shadow said nothing but turned quickly so he would keep his calm composure. Cream also took her plate from Tails, winking at him and causing him to blush lightly.
Blaze and Silver also pulled up. Their plan was to go home and order take out, but Silver had seen all the commotion on twitter and decided they would eat at the set instead. Knuckles smiled as they appraoched and greeted them with two plates, which they took and thanked him for.
"Ne, Knuckles, who treated the crew tonight?" Silver asked quietly. Knuckles pointed over to where Amy sat, "Shadow did. He order an entire large catering service from the place where you just got endorsed."
"Oh! No wonder many people showed up tonight." Silver's eyes lit up happily as he bit into his tenders. Blaze bit into hers, smiling gently, but becoming very suspicious. She felt as if there was a hiden meaning behind the ebony hedgehog ordering, ironically, Amy's favorite food after she had spoke about it in the same room with him that day. The cat couldn't help but look over at Shadow and Amy. Amy of course was going to town on her tenders like she always would when Blaze took her to KFC. Still the same exact drooling look. She began to observe Shadow. He sat next to the pinkette with his normal everyday expression. He sat silently and broke his tenders, but never ate them. For a few more minutes, this was all Blaze did. It seemed like there was nothing going on between the two of them, yet there was something telling Blaze the opposite.
Amy pretty much licked her plate clean. She hadn't had enough and licked her lips as she started looking around at other people. She started gulping as she looked at people. Shadow gave her a kind of freaked out look, not knowing what was going on. "What the hell are you looking at?" His voice snapped her out of her trance and she realized what she was doing. She flushed quickly, and apologized. Cream smirked and leaned over to look at Shadow.
"Amy isn't full and is still hungry. She's staring at other peoples plates, hoping they'll give her their scraps."
Amy's face grew redder, she felt betrayed, "C-Cream!"
Shadow looked away cooly, before sliding his plate over to her, "I don't like chicken tenders to begin with, so here, have mine."
"Oh no, I'm already full..." Amy tried to look polite, despite the growling in her tummy. He smirked inside.
"If you dont eat it I'm just going to throw it away."
She gasped and quickly took his plate. Rouge tried to hold back her chuckled as she turned to look at Shadow. He glared and looked at her, his voice dangerously low,
"If you dare say a word you bat..."
Rouge just held her mouth, trying to prevent herself from laughing as she turned her back to the ebony hedgehog and slapped her knee in a fit of silent laughter. Blaze and Silver had started sitting across from them before the entire situation began. Blaze was starting to see it again. She had a strong feeling Shadow hadn't ate any of his tenders to begin with because he was going to give it to Amy.
"How are you so sure the person Shadow likes isn't Amy?"
Perhaps the squirrel was onto something. Back then she thought she knew to the fullest that Amy was not the person Shadow loved. But now, she was not so sure. The more she saw them sitting next to each other, the more she felt there was something between them. She had always been curious and wanted to know who it was that Shadow loved, but she had never expected it to be Amy. She tried to shake her head and think outside the box. Maybe they only seemed closer now that they were working together? Besides, she knew the squirrel had only come after her the other day to pit her and her sister apart. She would never ever doubt Amy.

Blaze sat on set and watched all the scenes with disinterest. It became very boring to watch. On the third day of boredom, Blaze realized Amy had no scenes to shoot and dragged her around to go shopping. When Amy's parents passed away, Blaze's parents used to spoil Amy all the time. It wasn't like it didn't piss Blaze off to no end, but what could she say? There were numerous times when Blaze and Amy got into fights, and as a result Blaze was the only one who was punished. But after she grew up and realized how horrible of a situation Amy was in, Blaze always wanted to protect her. But Amy had always been mature and never wanted to argue in the first place. Later on, Blaze said something unforgiveable to Amy, it was so unforgiveable that Blaze wanted to make it up to her for the rest of her life.
While shopping in the afternoon, Amy didn't hold back. She now had some money to her name from working, so she walked out of the mall with many large and small bags. Because Blaze and Silver had a dinner date later, they decided they would head back to the set. The traffic was terrible because it was Friday, and people were getting off work. Blaze was impatient when it came to traffic so she started cussing up a storm. Amy was used to this temper from her sister, so she sat in the passenger seat and played on her phone. "Blaze, can you calm down? Your road rage might get us into an accident."
Blaze snorted but tried to keep her cool. Traffic had calmed down a bit so Blaze let her temper slide. Amy smiled as she saw this, "How have you and Silver been?"
"Alright." Blaze replied meekly.
"Everytime you always say 'alright' Blaze. When are you going to just get married to a nice guy? You're worrying your parents." Amy teased.
"Amy, they are already pissing me off with this stuff. I don't need you pissing me off about it too." Blaze's eyes suddenly widened as she screamed.
"AMY WATCH OUT!"
Silver was with Shadow, Rouge, and Robotnik in the directors room discussing the script. Suddenly his phone went off and he opened it quickly, "Hello?... wait, what happened? A car accident?"
Shadow froze. He knew Amy was going to be with Blaze. His thoughts raced to Sonic and his car accident and his heart dropped. "Are you hurt?" Silver asked as he stood up, "A serious car accident? Blaze what do you mean you forgot your drivers license? Uh..." He turned to look at them, "I have to go. Blaze and Amy were in a car accident and the police are holding Blaze there until I can meet them with her ID."
"A car accident? Was it serious?" Rouge asked as she walked over concerned.
"Yes, but there shouldn't be any big problems." Silver said.
'Big problems?' Shadow gritted his teeth and the phone in his own hand was clenched tightly. He stood up, "I have business in the city and Tails has my car. Would it bother you if I tagged along with you?"
Silver nodded and the two of them left the building. Robotnik looked over at Rouge, "Uh, what's the deal with Shadow lately?" Rouge smirked, pretending not to know.
"Whatever do you mean?"
Shadow ended up driving Silver's car instead. They headed 20 minutes to the south side of the town where the shopping district was. Once they appeared Blaze jumped up happily. "Silver is here!" She got up with a smile but that quickly fell when she saw Shadow get out of the drivers side door. Silver came up from behind him from the passenger seat side, and Blaze gave Shadow a curious look. "Why are you here, Shadow?"
Amy heard Shadow's name and jumped. She turned and saw him there, then got out of the car as she stood next to her sister. Silver smiled at the two of them, "Shadow had business in the city, so I drove him here." He turned to look at the ebony hedgehog, "Do you want to take my car into the city and I can take a cab back with the two of them?"
The entire time this went down Shadow's eyes never left Amy as he inspected her to make sure she was alright. He ended up shaking his head as he turned to Silver, "No need, I'll call a cab for myself." Then he handed Silver back the car keys. He quickly put his hand up and a cab stopped instantly. He got in and left in a flash. Amy frowned and turned back towrads the two, "I have a scene to shoot tonight, I will drive the car back to the hotel." She then hopped in the badly damaged car and drove off also.
