Just a regular day in the Station Square city, and in her small little house, Amy rested on the fluffy pink couch, looking at the TV set, which most of the time played Sonic's previous events in his battles of Doctor Eggman. She loved watching him play his heroic actions, and she always had admired him, not a bit afraid to ever admit it out loud in public. But lately, things had changed… not that she was losing interest in Sonic but because he was always seen with the other girls, which included Sally Acorn. Not that Amy had anything against her, she couldn't help that. After all, Sally and Sonic did start… dating, much to the pink hedgehog's discomfort.

That's when she heard the door open and heard a loud thump behind her. As she turned around to see this unexpected stranger in her home, she quickly noticed the certain black Life Form curled on the ground. Standing up slowly, Shadow seemed to be… almost laughing to himself, and almost out of breath from something.

Rolling her green eyes, she inquired, "Fan girls again?"

"Not even close to that…" Shadow locked his gaze with hers, "I finally… got enough gut to actually ask out the Bat Girl… she completely agrees to do so."

"I would've figured…" Amy then sighed, "But you do realize this is either your first time or something else?"

"What?"

"A date, you know, you asked her out after all."

The ebony hedgehog looked down in disbelief, he must've noticed when he asked Rouge out, he meant… a date. But Amy already knew he never knew what to do on a date, what to wear, what to say…

"Damn it, I should've seen that coming!" He cursed quietly.

"Shadow…" Amy tried to speak up.

"But maybe something interesting will make it best for Rouge…"

"Shadow, don't…" Amy still was being muted out.

"Mind if I find something in the kitchen for a second? She does like guys with scars, right?" He dashed off into a different room.

"Oh no you don't!" Amy chased him, not wanting him to do anything risky. Why, she thought to herself, was she suddenly worrying about Shadow? He always tried to harm Sonic and she disliked him for it, but still…

She snapped out of it as she spotted him digging through the drawers, "Shadow, stop it. Come on, you don't want to do that…"

"Perfect." Shadow got out the largest knife and smirked, good enough to impress Rouge. That's it, Amy couldn't take it.

"Okay! Look, will you knock it off?" She snapped, marching up to him like a scolding mother to a young misbehaving child, "Cutting yourself isn't going to impress Rouge, if that's what you're thinking!"

"How do you know that?" Shadow frowned, "You can't even get Faker to stand still for more then half a second just so you can make your little 'weeding' plans."

Amy scowled, "So I like to imagine love and romance between me and Sonic before I even reach that certain age! That's my own business!"

"Right, your own business." Shadow shook his head, "You clearly display it so much it starts becoming something all of us know about."

She started getting close into his face, snarling, "That's because no one asked you to take him away in the first place."

"How dare you relate me to that crap again?" He also moved closer, "I told you before; it's the fans' fault for that kind of bull."

"I doubt Maria was your first."

"You zip it before I do."

"Like always!"

"Listen here, you little-!"

"I-!"

They both stopped, not due to the fact that either Shadow was winning or Amy was getting in the lead, but instead… their lips had almost met within inches, causing both to go completely red so that Amy's skin matched her dress and Shadow looked like he had no red quills at all. Pulling away, they stared away from the other. After some sort of awkward silence, the pink hedgehog, with her skin back to normal the same as Shadow's, she spoke up.

"Well, I know I never got a chance with Sonic just yet, but I still know the facts, and the way dates go and…"

Shadow got where she was going, "You're saying… that you want to help me with my date with Rouge?"

She stared at him frowning, "Just promise first that you won't do anything to hurt yourself, like that knife cutting."

Shadow instantly dropped the kitchen item, "Yes, ma'am."

"See, isn't that much better? Things already have worked out." Amy smiled.

"Mind if I did something completely out of character for just a minute?"

"I guess…"

That's when he suddenly wrapped his arms around her, surprising Amy completely. Okay, this a little too out of character for him but either way… she oddly liked it.

"Thanks you so much…" He added.

After a few minutes, Amy squirmed, "Mind letting go now?"

He smirked, "I'm not just thanking you, I'm also letting you know how Sonic feels like this."

"Oh you are just the worst!"

"I know."
