A/N: Here is the last installment of An Unforgettable Halloween. Yeah I really didn't like the first part, but who cares. Reason why I didn't like the first part: it's a bit unoriginal, but at least this part is more original I really like it.
Disclaimer: Everybody knows this but those who don't for whatever reason. I do not own Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Rouge or other SEGA/ Sonic Team related character. I only own the plot.
Warning: If you do not like Shadamy in any type of way that it may be written please, make sure to click back and go to Fanfiction's main page. Com and look for the couple of your preference.
Thanks to those who read and reviewed, you guys are the only reason for why I want to finish this. Well aside from the reason that I don't like to leave things incomplete like a lot of people in FF have done (no offense)
Happy Reading!
'An Unforgettable Halloween'
(I am looking for a good title to give this story, if anyone has any suggestions please send them to me on a review.)
Sunlight filtered through the clear drapes that were hanging from an open window, a slight cool breeze blew in indicating that it wasn't going to be too long until winter arrived.
In a bed that was in the left corner of the small room that only contained one wood, white colored dresser, a metal black night stand and two doors, one leading to the bathroom while the other lead to a hallway. The walls of the room were light purple, and the floor had a dark purple rug nest to the bed. Underneath the bright, purple bed sheets lay the pink hedgehog known as Amy Rose.
No longer than two minutes the alarm clock which was on top of Amy's night stand started beeping loud enough to wake up the neighbors, that is if she actually had any considering that she lived in the outskirts of Station Square. The alarm clock kept beeping, the annoying sound echoing through the house for half an hour until a rather large Piko Piko hammer was thrown its way, the force pushing it off the night stand and breaking it in the process. Well at least the noise stopped.
Amy finally deciding that she had had enough sleep, stood up from the bed, taking a glance at her night stand she noticed that her clock was gone without much effort she looked down at the floor noticing her clock in a heap of wires and metal tangled together.
'Well what a great way to start the day, things to do list: 1) buy an alarm clock' she thought sarcastically walking over to her bathroom, to brush her teeth. When she finished that task, she looked up at the mirror seeing her reflection had her quills in a tangle and bent in odd shapes she straightened them down with her ungloved hands. Satisfied with her appearance, she went back into her room; she walked over to her dresser and opened it revealing all of her outfits. She easily took off her pajamas, which was a large blue T-shirt that reached a bit above her knees. She took out a pair of light blue jeans that were just above her knees, lavender colored tank top, and a pair of black and white Converse.
After she dressed up, she left her room and headed downstairs to her kitchen. Once there she opened the stainless steel and took out two strawberry waffles and put them in the toaster. She sat down on her couch, and started musing over her thoughts while she waited until her food was ready.
She couldn't help but think, today is November 1, the days had passed so fast. After the whole ordeal about Shadow's invitation to Rouge's Halloween party. It turned out that after Amy wrote them and handed them over to Rouge. Rouge had given them to Sonic so he could give them to everybody; he had managed to drop Shadow's invitation while running, not that the black hedgehog really cared since he had been planning to act like he never received one in the first place. The entire problem had been solved exactly on the day when the Early Halloween Festival took place during the afternoon, which she had cordially invited Shadow to go with her. He in the end reluctantly, of course, agreed to go with her only to be let down when the festival had been cancelled due to an arsonist who had gladly set the tents, booths and rides on fire. That had been a real bummer for everyone.
The next day during the night at Rouge's party, which Shadow showed up to courtesy of Amy, but without a costume of course like nobody had been expecting that; Amy decided to be a ghost this year, she had gone in a strapless white dress whose length reached her knees and it was frilled from the waist below, it was slightly ripped in several parts, she also wore a pair of white flats on and her entire fur was covered in white powder including her quills. Sonic was dressed as Kid Flash which everyone found quite ironic, Cream was a princess and Cheese was wearing an eye patch to look like a pirate, Rouge was dressed as a nurse, Knuckles after much persuasion agreed to go to tha party, but didn't wear a costume, and Tails was the only one with an almost good enough excuse for not wearing a costume.
The excuse had been that he had updating the Tornado and forgot entirely about costumes and the party until Sonic showed up at his workshop and told him to get ready.
Anyways Shadow was the one who had walked Amy over to the party along the way they did speak a little of course Amy did most of the talking, but it was still nice. Shadow had been carrying the trays full of brownies, Amy had made for the party, it was one for each Mobian so everyone gets a taste. Everybody in the group knew that Amy was really good at baking, she was pretty sure that when they saw her enter the mansion that they were all ,except for Knuckles and of course Rouge she had to keep her dignity, were going to try and take away the tray from her. Her presumptions were correct once Rouge opened the door and stepped out of the way she was almost tackled by Sonic, good thing Shadow was beside her and saw it coming, though the bad thing was poor Sonic ended up with a bruised cheek.
The thing that she surely will not be forgetting was the event that took place after they entered the kitchen and it was what they called: 'Brownie Time'
"Its brownie time!" shouted Rouge while removing the aluminum foil from the tray. The first person to appear was Sonic, since he could run at lightning speed. Trailing behind him came the others, all looking equally excited (except Knuckles) grabbing their brownies they begun to stuff their faces from the delectable baking Amy had done once again.
After eating her own piece, she took a glance at the tray noticing that there was still one left she asked out loud:
"Hey, guys there's still one left, who didn't get a brownie?"
In seconds Sonic, Tails and even Cream has raised their hands claiming that they didn't get one. She looked around the kitchen area , then she noticed that when Rouge had announced her delicious treat had been served. The only one who didn't rushing through the entrance was a certain black and red hedgehog. In fact, now that she thought about it she hadn't seen him throughout the entire party. Also reminding herself, that he was newest member of their little group meaning that he had never tried out her baked goods.
"Rouge, have you seen Shadow?" asked Amy looking at Rouge, who had been staring at the 'brownie' trio with an amused smirk.
"No. Check the guest room upstairs, he's probably there.." trailed off Rouge who was shaking with bottled up laughter because Sonic and Knuckles were arguing about Sonic not being mature enough to let the only two kids in the party have the brownies.
Grabbing the brownie and rushing up the stairs so Sonic wouldn't fuss about what she was going to do, also taking an advantage that he was too involved in a heated argument to notice.
She went upstairs quietly and walked all the way to the guest room. Knocking lightly on the door to avoid unwanted attention, she waited, waited, and she was still waiting…. No answer. Choosing to just let herself in, she put her hand on the door knob and twisted it. She pushed the door open a little bit and took a peek inside. Nobody in the room; pushing the door entirely open this time, brownie still in hand, she entered the room and silently closed the door behind her. Not able to see anything, except a window, since the room was dark because the lights were shut off. Noticing the window slightly open, she walked over to it and opened it entirely; looking outside she noticed the black and red hedgehog she had been looking for.
He looked lost, spaced out, probably thinking to hard instead of relaxing like everyone else in the party. He was lying down on top of the roof (or the correct word is ledge of the first floor, I think), hands behind his quills and red orbs staring at the sky. The hint of acknowledgement that he knew she was there, was the flicking of his ear in her direction.
He sat up, still not looking at her though, she took it as an invite; and joined him. The both of them sat in silence, just stargazing for a while until Amy spoke up.
"Why did you leave the party?"
"Just thinking…" he trailed off in another swarm of memories plaguing his mind.
She waited a few seconds until Shadow seemed to have come out of his trance, and took the opportunity to give him the chocolate filled treat the reason why she came out here.(Besides wanting to see the ebony hedgehog, but she obviously wouldn't tell him that)
She lifted her right arm, which had the baking, and offered it to him:
"Want some?"
He took it from her hands and examined it, but was not able to recognize it. It didn't look familiar, he was trying to recall everything he had encountered, or seen before in his head that would at least have the same shape, size or color. Nope. Nada. Zero. Oh well it doesn't hurt to ask. Right?
"What is this?" he asked, his scarlet eyes reflecting the confusing look his voice had taken.
"What?! " Wrong. You get a freaking headache, from the sudden shout you weren't expecting, and all for not knowing what the heck was the brown square he was holding lightly in his hand.
"You have never eaten a brownie?"Amy said rather with a really surprised look on her face.
"No."
Of course Amy wasn't expecting him not to know about brownies. Well now that she thought about it, he did live most of his life in space station.
"Brownie. Um…. Well you see it's like chocolate cake, but with different flavor and smaller size…. I guess oh whatever just eat it" the pink hedgehog said rather eagerly and hopeful that he wouldn't say he doesn't like her baking.
He was about to take a bite out of it, with a bit of reluctance though; when Sonic appeared out of nowhere in the roof, and attacked the ebony hedgehog, shouting that the treat was his. Amidst the fight, yelling, and cursing, since she couldn't see exactly what happened she never found out if Shadow actually got to eat it, dropped it, or if Sonic got it during the surprise attack. No longer after a brief moment of arguing, Shadow threw himself off the roof and, ignited his Chaos energy powered hover skates. Taking one more glance up at the sky and then at Amy, he ran off to who knows where.
The ringing of the doorbell, and her toaster signaling that strawberry waffles were ready, happened to be the cause that brought the pink hedgehog out of her own stupor. She stood up and headed to the front door her small cozy house. Swinging it open she was surprised to see the last person or anthropomorphic animal or an even better, correct term hedgehog standing in her front porch.
"Hi Shadow…. What are you doing here? Is something wrong?-gasp- Did Eggman attack again and one of our friends got hurt or something even worse than Eggman is out to destroy everything?!"
Shadow looked at the girl in front of him and sweat dropped.
"Rose, everyone's fine"
"Oh…. Okay" she said while she blushed from embarrassment. "Would you like to come in?"
One nod was all it took for Amy to step aside so Shadow could enter the house.
"So would you like anything to eat or drink?"
"Sure"
"….. What would you like?"
"….."
"Hello. Earth to Shadow, I asked what would you like?"
Shadow had been reconsidering if he should actually ask her what he wanted. I came all the way over here to ask for one of those brown square things and now I'm considering Chaos Controlling out of here.
"One of those brown squares" he said nervously scratching the back of his head while blushing lightly.
"What?" she said little confused about why he was so flustered, and t the same time suppressing the thought that he looked cute when he acted like that.
"That food you offered me yesterday"
"You actually got to eat while Sonic practically tried to pry off you?"
Nod.
"And you want another?"
Another nod.
"Okay, well I guess it's a good thing I made extra yesterday, so I could give off more uh"
After that event Shadow had been visiting Amy more often. He looked a lot happier even though he didn't smile his eyes said it all. He stayed over at her house various times in the guest room when he came back from a GUN mission extremely exhausted, wanting to take a shower and collapse on the couch or bed when he came out of the bathroom. He had also began showing more trust towards her and it was proved further more when he had told her, one night, his entire history. She could not believe how much suffering he had went through and was really mad over the way people kept treating him.
She also remembered how once she had to comfort him because he had a terrible nightmare. He wasn't conscious though when he spoke about it, and her method for calming him down was scratching him behind his ears and stroking his quills.
But the one thing she would never forget was when she received her first kiss from the hedgehog she least expected.
