Chapter 1

Amy leant back against the tree with tears streaming down her face, though; in the downpour they were hardly visible. She sank to the ground, clasping her knees to her chest and holding her hands around them. She placed her head on her knees and sobbed her heart out while listening to the gentle sound of the rain around her. The pitter patter of the small raindrops on leaves prevented the rain from going pitter patter on her head and she was thankful for that. She was already soaked as it was. His voice stuck in her mind like a sharp knife would stick in a tree trunk. It stung and stung; only causing her to cry harder. And the words he had used too… Amy had been horrified. At first she was too shocked, but…
'I saw this coming since the day I began chasing him. I knew that one day he would turn and snap. Now that day has come…' She thought sourly. 'But why… Why can't he see how much I love him?!' Her tears escaped her yes with more of a sting and faster than before. It wasn't long before she felt she couldn't breathe and had a headache.
"Rose," An indifferent voice broke her thoughts, "Why are you crying?" It asked.

Shadow had been sitting on a park bench when he saw Amy run past. He watched her run to the biggest tree. He could already guess what had happened; not that he cared. The Rose's quills were longer to normal, due to the downpour on this horribly miserable day. The pitter patter of the rain calmed him, allowing him to access his thoughts more easily. Emotionlessly, he watched her lean against the tree and sink to the ground, clasping her knees to her chest and placing her head on them. He waited a few minutes, still watching, as her breathing seemed to slow. But he doubted that. He had read that if you cry for a certain amount of time you will begin to feel you can't breathe and gain a headache. He picked this time to get up and go over.
"Rose," He asked in monotone, "Why are you crying?"

Amy looked up to the tall figure which stood beside her, looking down on her.
"S-S-Shadow?" She asked, a slight stutter in her voice.
"Why are you crying?" Shadow asked again, with the same indifference.
"What does it matter to you? Don't you have to beat up Sonic or something?"
"If you want me to then-"
"No!" Amy interrupted, "Don't! Touch him and ill make sure I kill you!" The magenta hedgehog warned.
"Hmph." A small smile occupied his lips while the rain fell around them. "That would only happen in the distant parts of your mind, Rose." He knelt beside her. "What did that faker do?" Shadow asked as calmly as he could.
"HE IS NOT A FAKER! IF ANYTHING, YOU'RE THE FAKER SHADOW!!" She yelled. After her mini rant, the Rose burst into tears again.
Anger flamed in Shadow's eyes. How DARE she call him a faker?! He was the ultimate life form, after all! He took a breath and sighed deeply.
"I will ask you once more before I leave you to die of pneumonia. What did that faker do?!" Amy sighed and looked out into the rain, looking at anything but his blood thirsty eyes.
"Sonic… He pushed me away… this time he'd pushed me too far. I pulled out my hammer and went to smash his head in, out of pure infuriation, but he snapped the head from my hammer and pushed me to the ground. He used quite a few horrible words and then ran away, as usual." Amy continued to look out into the rain.
"No surprise there…" Shadow mumbled. "Come to my apartment. I'll get you some clothes while you shower to get warm and then we can talk a little more." Shadow's voice no longer sounded like steel, bit it still had a sharp edge to it; kinda like: 'make one wrong move and your neck gets snapped in one hundredth of a second'.
"Thanks, but no thanks, Shadow. It would be too much hassle. I-I… I just need to go home and sleep as soon as possible." Shadow frowned.
"Here." He handed her a card with a number on it. "Call me later." Amy nodded in gratitude and got up, running back out into the rain and back home. Shadow watched her run. "Such a delicate Rose…" He mumbled. "That faker needs to learn a lesson. Chaos Control." Shadow disappeared in a flash of light.

Amy woke in the morning to the TV being turned on.
"Amy," Rouge called from the end of Amy's bed, "Take a look at this." Amy sat up in her bed, feeling slightly drowsy from her sleep. She focused her eyes on the TV and saw Sonic lying on the ground.
"Oh my god! We have to help him!" Amy got out of bed and hurriedly dressed, after which she ran after Rouge. When they found where Sonic was, Amy rushed to his aid. "Sonic! Are you alright?!"
"It's nothing Amy…" He mumbled, sitting up with her help. "Shadow just started fighting with me for no reason. Then again… He said something about a delicate Rose."
"Oh… crap…"
'I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! That feeling in my gut yesterday telling me that Shadow would get Sonic for what he did to me… that was right! Oh I shouldn't have told him anything!' the magenta hedgehog thought.
"Ames… What's with the face?" Sonic asked weakly as he stood up. Again with Amy's assistance.
"Nothing, nothing." The girl replied. "I'm just… thinking about something you said."
'A delicate Rose?!?!?' She thought wildly, 'what went through his head?!'
"Ames?"
"Uh, oh! Sorry, Sonic! Let's get you to Tail's workshop."

- An hour later –
Amy ran to the park and ran to the tree she was sitting under the day before. She piggy backed the figure that was standing with their arms crossed and their back to her. She took the chance.
"Shadow!" She cried in joy as she piggy backed him.
"Rose!" He only just managed to keep his footing. He regained his balance and eased the girl off his back. Amy looked up to him shyly. "You didn't call."
"Shadow… did you say I was a delicate Rose to Sonic?" Shadow had a slight tint of pink covering his muzzle. "Did you… teach him a lesson?" Amy asked, pressuring him for an answer by the emotion in her voice. Shadow's blush faded away and he turned his back on her once again.
'Damn!' he thoughts.
"Shadow…" Amy placed her hand on his shoulder, and he looked over his shoulder at her.
"I did try to teach that faker-" Shadow was hit very hard on the head with something. "Ouch!" He rubbed his head, turning to Amy. She was fuming and held her hammer like it was a mallet. She looked ready to smash his head in.
"He. Isn't. A. Faker." She growled.
"But he is a jerk, isn't he?"
"No!"
"Do you love him?"
"Yes!"
"You're just his shadow, Amy. Can't you see why he doesn't love you? Because you annoying!" Amy let tears escape from her eyes.
"I'm not! I'm me! Amy Rose! And I love Sonic! And I'm not annoying!" The girl yelled through tears; but she dropped to the ground and let go of her hammer. She raised her hands to her face to cover it as she sobbed.
"Rose… Don't cry." Shadow's voice was still indifferent, but there was a slight waver when he mentioned her name. Amy's hammer disappeared as she continued to sob. "Come on, Amy." Shadow picked Amy up and allowed her to wrap her hands around his neck before running back to her apartment at top speed.
