A/N: Chapter 3, enjoy!

Shadow woke up, as usual sweaty with red eyes from crying cause of his Nightmare. He looked at the unopened bottle of whiskey sitting on his dresser.

Not today. Shadow thought to himself.

He through on a pair of pants and a Shirt.

He went down stairs and for the first time in a month decided he was going to sit down on the couch and watch some TV. He discovered that there was a problem with his plan. Once he got to the couch he saw a pink hedgehog covered up laying on it.

She stayed the night? Shadow thought, surprised.

He went up to her and shook her awake, she opened her eyes slowly and smiled when she saw him. She stretched and yawned. "Good morning Shadow" she said.

"Morning" Shadow said, "You stayed the night?"

Amy sat up "Oh, yeah, sorry, when I first stepped out it was even colder out then what it was when I got here and I didn t think it would be a good idea to walk all the way home." she said, somewhat worried her staying the night without permission might have upset.

Shadow hearing the worried tone in her voice smiled at her. "Oh that's alright, no need to be sorry, I was just a bit surprised" he said, adding a slight chuckle at the end to reassure her that it was alright.

Amy smiled "That s good, I didn't want to upset you or anything" she said, scooting over to one side of the couch to make room for Shadow.

Shadow sat down next to her and grabbed the TV remote, turning on the TV to the morning news. Amy was somewhat shocked when she saw the time on the bottom right corner of the screen.

"Shadow, it s 8am" Amy said, shocked that he is up so early.

"Oh, yeah, I got up a little late today" he replied.

Amy's eyes got big "This is waking up late for you?" she asked.

"Yea, I m usually up at 6am, what time do you usually get up?" Shadow asked.

"I usually don't get up till 10am at the earliest" she replied

This made Shadow chuckle a bit. "Well if you want you can go back to sleep" Shadow said.

"Oh no it's fine" Amy said with a smile of reassurance. "Now that I m up I am kinda hungry though" she said, resting a hand on her stomach.

"I might have something out in the kitchen" Shadow said.

Amy got up and went to the kitchen as Shadow went back to flipping through channels. Amy opened the fridge and was shocked to find that all it contained was a gallon of expired milk, a couple jars of grape jelly and eggs that she wouldn t trust eating. She then scavenged through his cabinets to find only a couple cans of vegetables, a couple jars of peanut butter, and half a load of expired bread.

She went back into the living room and blocked Shadows view of the TV, placing her hands on her hips. Shadow looked at her somewhat confused.

"Shadow. When was the last time you went food shopping?" she asked.

"Um, well, about a week before the Ark incident" he replied.

"Are you aware you have no food in your kitchen?" She asked.

"What?" Shadow said surprised "There s food out there."

"Okay, Show me" Amy replied.

Shadow got off the couch and went into the kitchen. Amy sat down to wait for Shadow to return. It wasn t long before Shadow came back with one of the jars of jelly, a jar of peanut butter and the half of loaf of expired bread.

"See, there is food" Shadow said, triumphantly.

Amy sighed" Shadow, please tell me you haven t been eating PB&Js on expired bread for the past month."

"Ummm, well, I, um" Shadow said, then sighed, lowering his head in defeat "I need to go shopping."

Amy chuckled "Okay" she walked over to her coat that she hanged on a coat rack beside the door and through it on "Let s go: she said with a smile on her face.

Shadow through on his coat and they both walked out the door. Amy was surprised about how much warmer it was outside then what it was last night. Amy began walking towards the gate when she felt a hand rest upon her shoulder. She turned to look at Shadow, confused.

Shadow motioned for her to follow him to the side of the house, When they got there Shadow grabbed the edge of a large, blue tarp revealing a black motorcycle. "Didn t think I d have us walk all the way to the store and back did ya?" Shadow said with a slight chuckle.

Shadow started it. He pushed it to and out the gate, Amy right behind him, onto the side of the road. He got on it and put on his helmet. Shadow handed Amy a spare helmet and patted the spot behind.

Amy blushed. "I.. I ve never ridden on a motorcycle before." she said nervously.

Shadow smirked "that s okay. just hold on tight, I won t go too fast."

Amy, though still a bit nervous, put on her helmet and sat behind Shadow, wrapping her arms around him, pressing her body tight against his. This made the both of them blush, but neither said anything.

"Ready?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah, I think so" Amy said, a hint of nervousness lingering in her voice.

Shadow put the bike into gear and went, when he did he felt Amy s arms tight around him, this made him blush.

Shadow don t be dumb, she s a friend, you don t get feelings Shadow thought to himself.

After about 20 minutes they arrived at the grocery store. They parked and both got off of the bike.

"That wasn t as bad as I thought" Amy said to Shadow.

Shadow smirked "See, you were worried about nothing."

They made there way into the grocery store and got a shopping cart. Shadow only put a couple things into the cart, bread, lunch meat, condiments and milk. Amy on the other hand was throwing in a bunch of stuff, Ice Cream, fruits, vegetables, hamburger, steak, chicken and some snack foods. Shadow was somewhat shocked but he didn t mind.

They made there way to the register and Shadow took out his credit card and paid for everything.

Shadow carried out most of the bags and when they got to his motorcycle they place the bags into the saddle bags on the motorcycle.

They both went through the motions of putting on their helmets and getting back on the motorcycle, this time Amy being more comfortable.

When they got back to the house Amy got off and Shadow pushed the motorcycle to the side of the house, retrieved the groceries from the saddle bags and put the tarp back over it.

Shadow walked into the house and met up with Amy in the kitchen, who had just thrown away the rest of the stale bread, expired milk and eggs. Shadow laid the bags of groceries on the kitchen table and him and Amy began putting them away. Once they were finished they went back into the living room and sat down on the couch.

"There, now you actually have food" Amy said with a smile as she reached for the TV remote and turned the TV on, flipping through channels.

Shadow just smirked and rested his head back; closing his eyes. Unexpectedly, sleep overcame him.

After a few minutes, Amy looked over and seen Shadow was asleep, but something was strange. Tears were streaming down his face and it appeared that he had started to sweat; his whole body was shaking.

Amy immediately got worried and started shaking the dark hedgehog.

"Shadow? Shadow wake up." she repeated as she shook him.

After a few more shakes he finally came out of it.

"Shadow, is everything okay? What were you dreaming about?" Amy asked, concerned.

"It... It was nothing..." Shadow mumbled, barely loud enough for her to hear him.

"Shadow, please you can tell me, I m here for-" Amy said, but Shadow cut her off.

"I said I m fine" Shadow said, snapping at the pink hedgehog. Shadow immediately realized his mistake as Amy sunk more into the couch and looked away from him.

Dammit out of all the people in this world why did I snap at her Shadow thought, disappointed in himself.

"I... I m sorry" Shadow said, holding his head down in shame "I'll tell you."
