Ducks! :3

Chapter 4- A Confused Rose

Amy dialled the number slowly, trying to decide if this was the right way to go about things or not, but brought herself to press the little green button and held the phone up to her ear.

"Hello?" Came a voice from the other end.
"Sonic? Sonic baby, it's me..."
"Oh, hey Amy. Are you OK?" He responded after a lighthearted sigh.
"No! I saw what happened on TV, I know what you did to that poor boy!"
Sonic sounded confused. "'Poor boy'? Do you even know what he did?"
"What? He did what?"
"He was a member of the group that performed the biggest jewel theft of this age."
"... Really?" Amy was offended Shadow hadn't mentioned this. "Why... What...?"
"The stole the Warrior's Soul, a very large gem that was in display at a museum in southwest Mobius, and handed it down for $780,000. As you can imagine, that's a lotta dough." Sonic explained.
"So... He is a theif?" Amy said angrily.
"Yes. He deserved what he got..."
Amy's anger heightened. "WHAT?! WHO ARE YOU TO DECIDE WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES?!"
Silence from Sonic's side. Amy calmed down a little,
"Listen, Sonic... Just be round my house tomorrow. You have a lot of explaining to do." And with that, she hung up. Amy was about to put the phone down when she had a brainwave and dialled another number.

"Savvy here, who is this?" Came the responding voice.
"Hey Savv, it's Amy."
"Oh, Amy! Nice to hear from you! How is he doing?"
"Shadow's fine, sleeping like a puppy. So, um... Can I ask you something?"
"Fire away," Savvy said calmly, "I can answer a lot more than you think."
"Um, what do you know about the Warrior's Soul incident?"
"Oh, that? All I know is that four people teamed up to steal some big jewel and a month later they were rolling in cash..."
"Do you know who the people were?"
"I recognised two. One was Scourge," Amy flinched at his name as Savvy spoke, "And one was Rouge the Bat. But I read they all had a specific reason for doing it."
"Really?"
"Yeah, Rouge did it so she could pay her rent safely and Scourge did it to keep his family safe. I don't know about the other two."
"Um, okay, thanks. That's more helpful than it sounds."
"Do you want me to come over?" Savvy asked caringly.
"Um, sure!"

Ten minutes later, Savvy and Amy were sitting in her room on the bed, having moved Shadow to the sofa across the room. He was sleeping softly and seemed to be smiling a little; strange for Amy as she had never seen him smile before. Savvy giggled when she realised that Amy was staring into Shadow's face and tapped her head to snap her out of it. Amy jumped a little and blushed, getting up to go into the bathroom to change into her pyjamas while Savvy did the same in her room. By the time they were both in bed, it was dark outside and starting to spit with rain.

"Savvy... I can't sleep..." Amy said after a while to Savvy, who was on the other side of the bed.
"Me neither, little sis..."
"I can't stop thinking about him. Both of them..."
"Who?" Savvy asked.
"Sonic and Shadow. They'll have to make up for their disagreements tomorrow."
"I agree, Ames. They need to sit down and talk."
"I'll need your help if they get in a fight."
"Amy, I beat Sonic in a fight last week and I'm younger than him by a year. Trust me, it'll be easy."
"And Shadow?"
"You handle him. He may not look it, but he's much more gentle and caring than he comes across. He would be a real catch if you two got together..."
"What?! No way! He's just a guy I took into my house to patch some injuries!"
Savvy grinned at Amy. "Really? You don't see anything in him at all?"
A few moments of silence passed, then Amy spoke.
"M-Maybe... There is a little something..."
"I knew it... You're sweet on him..." Savvy smiled.
"M-Maybe so! But that isn't a bad thing!"
"No, of course not! I'm happy for you, but you must realise..."
"Realise what?"
"If you go with him, Sonic hates you. If you go with Sonic, Shadow leaves forever, because he has no reason to stay."
Amy paused. That was quite a predicament.
"I guess... I just need them both to talk tomorrow. For now, we should try and sleep."
"Indeed. G'night, lil' sis."

From over on the sofa, a light purring was heard from the black hedgehog.

I don't actually know if that was short or long, but oh well! Please R&R!
