"Why not quit the edgy act- And hang out with us!"
I wanted to make this more of a cuter moment between the two, but i like this idea a lot better!

"Hmph." Staring a moment in wonder, he turned his head away, refusing to give into any charm she thought she had on him.
"I don't hang out with amateurs." He swiped his arm out of her grasp, making her frown a moment, disappointed.
He got up, and adjusted the rings on his wrist, walking off a ways. "Besides, your attempts at 'befriending' me won't prevail. I go alone."
"Oh, grump off, dude!"
"What?!" Shadow turned around, offended by her casual talk.
She had her arms down, her face looking angry, "You think you're so great!? Then why do you always follow the losing side!? Why can't you get it through your thick head that friendship is what makes you stronger! Not weaker. And besides…" she folded her arms, glaring at him.
"I thought you were the ultimate lifeform? Isn't it somewhat your 'job' to figure out why you can't succeed at that?"
He tensed up, his rage slightly building, before realizing she had a point. "And what exactly are you wagering?" He turned around, matching her stare but coupling it with a scowl.
"Hmm? Wagering? Fine then." she unfolded her arms to briskly place them on her hips, not giving into his attitude. "I'll wager that if you can even befriend one of us, you'll defeat Sonic."
Shadow's eyes widened, before going back to a glare. "I don't understand. Your so called 'power' in friendship comes from loyalty. By helping me win-"
"I never said we'd help you."
His eyes widened again, but this time, staying that way, and leaning up from arching forward. "You're not making sense."
"I would if you would listen and try to understand! But some people can't learn!"
Her tongue was like a cold sting to his pride, and his fists twitched at holding himself back from letting his emotions get the better of him.
"How.. how do you find the confidence to state such ridiculous notions?!"
"I'm not like you, Shadow. I don't get intimidated." Amy narrowed her glare. "For one thing, I have to put with Sonic every day."
"My condolences. If I had any." Shadow spat out.
"Heh. Sonic may be a handful, but I can match his stubbornness anytime and any where!" She stepped forward, "If you really want strength, Shadow! You wouldn't be working for Eggman!"
"I don't!" Shadow swiped an arm out, "I work on my own terms."
"Very well. Then find your own path. A path… that could make you happy." Amy's tone settled to a merciful one, showing a bit of her tender heart.
…A dangerous thing to do in front of a man like this…
"Shadow…"
"I don't need your sentiments. Whatever this power of yours is, I highly doubt it's due to your friends. But if you're so sure of yourself, then fine, I'll follow along and see what really makes you all tick. And once I prove I'm right…" Shadow started to advance, but Amy held her ground, although nervous by his approach.
He lifted a hand, and smirked, looking like he was going to reach for her.
She braced herself, twitching her hands slightly, just in case this was a false ruse.
He suddenly shifted his hand to a point, "Then you admit that friendship is nothing more than a pathetic pass time excuse for a play date with losers!"
"…I won't have too." Amy reached up and grabbed his hand, moving hers into his, which made him look confused, a little awkward, but she shook his hand properly, lowering it as it should be leveled.
"Because I'm gonna prove you wrong!" Amy smiled, her eyes looking determined.
'…That fire.' he stared at her eyes a moment, before looking away, and then removing his hand.
"Fine then, let's see your 'friendship' save you from whatever that dote of a doctor has in store today." Shadow folded his arms, as Amy 'yippie'd and pulled him along behind her, dragging him as he blinked his eyes, not sure what was happening.
"W..What… what is this?!"
"Hahha! Guys, look! I made a new friend!"
"Tsk! I am not your friend!"
"Sonic! Tails! Knuckles! Pay up!"
"Urk… this was a bet!?"
