Confession (ShadAmy fanfic) ch2
[][][][[]][]
Tails smiled as Shadow the Hedgehog entered his workshop.
"What did you want to show me?" He asked curtly.
"A very interesting tape," Tails beamed as he grabbed an Omochao off of a shelf. He pressed a button on the robot chao's back. A floppy disk came out of the Omochao's mouth. Tails pulled it out like it was a delicate thing that could easily break. "Watch it and I'm sure you'll find it. But do it in your own time. If Rouge gets involved, it might cause trouble for you." Tails placed the disk in a case before putting it in Shadow's hand.
Shadow arched an eyebrow at the fox, but didn't bother to argue. He merely nodded as he went home to drop the tape off. He wondered if the Omochao had caught some plot of the doctor's, or someone in G.U.N.'s that night cause trouble. Or it could have something to do with chaos emeralds since Rouge might cause him trouble if she saw it.
Shadow placed the disk in his drawer at home by his computer. It was a bright orange disk, so he hoped his pet Chao wouldn't find it and try to eat it. They associated most orange things with food these days. Before leaving back to work, he opened the door to see the two Chao sleeping on his bed. He shook his head at their odd sleeping positions before heading back to work.

Rouge grinned at the pink hedgehog. "Come on! It's just one date."
Amy shook her head. It had been two days since Amy had made that drunk confession while out with everyone. She was lucky that Tails didn't tease her about it. She had been getting sympathy hugs from Hershey, Bunnie, and Sally. Even Antoine and Geoffrey were being sympathetic to her. Antoine she could get, but Geoffrey being sympathetic was just odd. And now here Rouge was trying to get her to go on a date with Shadow.
"Come on Amy! You know you wanna go!" Rouge argued. "So why not make it a date?"
"It would be best to go as a group," Amy stated, "That way everyone can enjoy it together."
Rouge sighed as she moved some stay stands of fur out of her eyes.
The door opened and the white bat perked up.
"Hey Shadow, come give me a hand here!" Rouge called her partner over.
"Good afternoon," he greeted them with a court nod. "What do you require assistance in?"
"Amy wants to invite everyone to go to the art museum, but I'm trying to get her to understand that you would probably prefer to go with just her to see it." Rouge quickly fibbed. "Would you tell her which you would like."
Shadow nodded as he thought it over. "If you're there, we'll have to keep you from stealing any jewels. Sonic wouldn't appreciate it. Other than that, I can't find fault in inviting anyone else."
Rouge pouted. That wasn't what she wanted him to say.
Amy merely smiled in relief.
"When are you planning on going?" Shadow asked.
"Probably this Saturday," she replied. "Or do you think that's too soon?
Shadow nodded. "It'll work for me. We hopefully won't be sent to the field soon. So what art is being displayed?"
"They added a new exhibit on old religious paintings and surrealist paintings." She replied with a smile.
Shadow nodded as he walked to his desk to do his work for the day.
Amy said bye to them as she left to invite the others.

Shadow walked home to find his two Chao sitting underneath the couch cushions. Apparently they woke up and built themselves a fort. Shadow put the cushions back and feed the little demons. They followed him around as he walked into the room where he kept the computer. He popped in the bright orange disc and watched the video file on the disc.
The Chao propped themselves on his shoulders as he watched. He was expecting to see the doctor hatching another scheme, what he saw was not that. It was Amy. Highly intoxicated from the looks of it. She spoke in a mixture of Japanese and English.
Shadow arched a brow, wondering if Tails had given him the wrong tape. But then, why did Tails have this footage? Did the fox perhaps have some weird hobby that he didn't know of?
"If there is anything indecent on this tape, I'm telling Rose and she can hit him." Shadow told himself.
"I really love Shadow-kun," Amy stated in a happy voice.
Shadow stared at it the footage a moment. Rose said she loved him. But their friendship was more important to her.
Suddenly it clicked in Shadow's brain.
Rouge was trying to set them up on a date this afternoon.
Shadow sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He turned off the computer after taking out the disc. He would return it to Tails and take the Chao to the garden nearby to play. He had always like Rose, but love? Eh... The word felt wrong in his brain, let alone his mouth. He told himself he would pretend not have ever heard or seen it. That way Rose wouldn't feel uncomfortable. If she wanted to keep a friendship, he would do that.
