Krissie: rewriting because a bug is happening apparently.

"Tails!" Sonic rushed into the house. Gushes of wind following behind him. The rest of the freedom fighters followed shortly with Tails parents and uncle Merlin on their heels. "Are you alright?" Sonic asked as he practically picked the fox up and inspected him for wounds.
Tails staled faced his older brother. "I'm fine. Amy... eh... well she's different." He shrugged as he gave a nervous smile. He then stared at the ground and how his feet weren't touching it. "Can you put me down please?"
"What happened to Amy?" Sally asked as she looked at the fox. She hadn't seen Amy yet.
"My experiment backed fired," Tails stated regretfully as he motioned for them to follow him. "Also, try not to be too loud. Amy is sensitive to loud sounds right now."
"What were you experimenting with?" Amedius asked.
"Nothing too dangerous," Tails assured as he opened a door in his lab to a dark room with a night light illuminating the room with a soft green. They could make out the shape of a bed with a large lump of what they presumed was Amy under the blankets.
"Welp, this looks like a horror movie," Sonic stepped away from the room. Amy always clung to him and he didn't want to deal with her clinging to him if he couldn't loudly protest. "I  we sacrifice Antoine."
Antoine rolled his eyes as he walked around the blue blur. "You are just scared of your number one fan." He teased as he walked up to the bed.
Tails shook his head as he tapped on the wall by the light switch. "Nap time is over now."
All of a sudden something grabbed ahold of Antoine's leg.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" the coyote sheirked as he fell backwards. He shook his legs in the air bove him.
"Antoine relax. It's just Amy," Tails placed a hand on Antoine's shoulder. "Now stop squirming before you give her brain damage. Shaking babies is bad, you know."
Antoine froze and stared at what had grabbed his leg. His blue eyes stared into large green orbs. A small light pink hedgehog with quills going everywhere stared back at him. She was wearing one of Tails tshirts. She was adorble really. Though Antoime knew she was giggling at how he reacted to her.
"Why is Amy a toddler?" Sally asked.
"Experiment went wrong and turned her into a kid."
"Potato!" Amy chimed.
Tails smiled at the pink hedgehog as he picked her up. "Yes. Yes, you're a tot. A little tator tot." He ruffled her hair as he put her down. "She really lives up to that rascal nickname. Can you guys take turns watching her while I try to figure out how to... well... return her to normal?"
Sonic came into the room. "Well she can't be too much trouble at this size." He scooped the little child into his arms. "Hi Amy! I'm Sonic. I know something kids love. Let's spin!"
Amy stared at Sonic with a blank face for a moment.
The blue blur took a step back and held Amy in the air and spun her around.
It took Amy 2 seconds tonrealize she didn't like being in the air. She hollowered, squirmed, and beat at Sonic's hands with her little fist.
Sonic stopped and stared at the little girl. He was shocked to find tears streaming down her face. "But all kids love that!" Sonic whined as he felt useless. She turned away from him and reached for Tails. She gave high pitch cries of distressed that pulled at everyone's heart.
Tails rushed to take Amy from him. "Kids you meet normally like them, but Amy isn't one of them. She also doesn't like heights." He turned to Amy as he sat on the ground and patted her back. "There there ma petit tot. There there."
Amy curled into Tails' chest fur and mumbled something Sonic didn't understood. All he knew was that it sounded like French.
"What did she just say?" Sonic looked at Antoine. Then something more pressing entered his mind. "When did Amy learn French?"
Antoine chuckled. "She's always known French. We have conversations in French all the time."
"She also speaks Japanese and some Spanish," Tails added. "She's been switching between languages since she woke up earlier."
"She must have lived in a place in Mercia where a lot of languages overlap," Sally theorized.
"But being around all those accents shoulda left Suga with a very distinct accent," Bunnie added.
Sally next to Amy as she held her hands out for her, "Hey there Amy," she spoke softly, "I'm Sally. Do you wanna play with me?"
Amy peaked at Sally before burying herself back into Tails' chest. She spoke in a squeaky voice amd said something in French.
Antoine began to laugh, but placed a fist in front of his mouth as he tried to calm his laughter. Tails bit his lip as he closed his eyes and hung his head. His shoulders shaking softly from the laughter.
"What did she say?" Sally looked at the coyote. When Antoine declined to Answer, she turned to Rosemary. "What did she say?"
Rosemary gave a shy smile as she turned on the light and entered the room. She placed a hand on Sally's shoulder. "She said that you reak of the blue scary mean orge," she gesrtured to Sonic.
Amedius shook his head as he chuckled. "Well she sure likes adjectives."
"Amy, you are gold," Antoine ruffled her hair.
Amy swat at Antoine's hand. "Not gold. I'm potato!" Amy hollered. "Petit potato." She added with a mumbled as she laid on Tails' chest.
"Qui. Qui. Petit rosa potato," Tails agreed. "Do you want to meet mi familia y amigos?"
"Qui," Amy nodded.
"So you're going to speak to her in a jumble of langauges?" Amedius questioned.
"She doesn't know the word for friend in English yet. She got amigos first." Tails replied. "Amy, this is my dad, Amedius, and my mom, Rosemary. And the guy in the cloak is my uncle Merlin."
Amy nodded as she turned in Tails lap. She crawled out and sat on her knees. She bowed so low her head touched the floor. She sat up in a straight swift motion like some princess on a foreign film. "It is a pleasure to meet you. Tails-sama is tres nice. I like him lots."
"She does that," Tails shrugged. "This is Sally, Bunnie, and Bunnie's husband Antoine, Rotor, and Niccole, and this blue guy is Sonic. He's like a big brother to me."
Amy nodded as she looked at all of them. She bowed once more. "Please take good care of me."
She stood and looked around the room before turning to Tails. She grabbed his sleeve tentatively, "I have to pee, can madam Bunnie, madam Niccole, or your mommy take me?"
Tails gave a soft smile to her before turning to the women, "Would one of you mind taking her?"
"I'll take her sug." Bunnie held her hand out to Amy and the pink hedgehog took it with a smile.
"When did you get so good with kids?" Rosemary asked as she looked at her son. It was off setting to see her 16 year old son being so parental.
Tails shrugged. "Kids are just... nice. So they're fun to be around. Sometimes." He added as an after thought.
"Well you did tell me once that you wanted to have lots of kids when you were little," Sonic scratched the back of his head. "Hopefully that's changed now?"
"Not really, I still want a lot of them. But I'm too young for kids." Tails stated.
"We're doomed to being grandparents once he gets married," Amedius muttered with an amused smirk.
"That won't be for a long time. So breath easy," Tails shot back. "Though I wouldn't mind a little sibling," he addef quickly under his breath. He turned to Sonic, "It looks like you're out on being able to watch Amy. She seems quite afraid of you." He turned to Sally. "You're out for smelling like Sonic."
"I never would have thought she had a sensitive sense of smell," Sally shrugged slightly disappointed.
"So that leaves Rot, Niccole, Antoine, and Bunnie. Do you guys think you can handle her?"
"I'm not that good with toddlers," Rotor waved his hand in front of his face. "I'll just help you with the antidote."
Niccole looked nervous. "I'll play with her. But I don't always have a physical form to keep her out of trouble."
Antoine cringed. "Ask Bunnie." He quickly shot back as an excuse. He liked Amy.  She was a cute enough kid, but he didn't want to deal with her pouncing on him.

Baby Amy

KRISSIE: So y'all remember that baby silver fanfic I did like a year or two ago on my blog, Galaxy of Tales? Well here is another one but with Amy. Their will be pairings and some funny stuff that has already been mentioned in Confession.
[*^*^*^*
Tails hummed as he tweaked the wiring on his device.
Amy tapped along to the beat as she watched the fox from the table. On the table were two plates. One had spinach and the other had mint candies. Two lasers were aimed at the plates.
Tails thought he was a genius and Amy thought he needed to get out more. The point of this experiment was so that he could make spinach taste like candy so he would eat it. His parents had told him he wouldn't be allowed dessert if he couldn't finish his dinner. Aparently his father was a huge fan of spinach.
YUCK!
Tails prefered broccoli, but his dad got to chose. So Tails was out to cheat the system.
"Aha!" Tails lept up and hit his gead on machinary above him. "Crude..." Tails slowly backed out of the machine while rubbing head.
"You alright?" Amy got up from the table and began inspecting for injuries and concussions.
"I'll live," Tails swatted her hands away with a playful smile. "Ready to take part in the test?"
"You mean eat spinach and tell you if it taste like candy?" Amy smirked at the fox. "Sure Mr. I don't wanna eat my greens."
Tails rolled his eyes as he walked to a panel. Amy followed him and watched as the fox typed in some settings before flipping the switch. The lasers went off and after a few moments the light show ended.
Tails walked up to the table and pulled the chair out. "For you my guinne pig," he spoke regally as he gave a soft bow.
Amy chuckled as she curtsied. "You mean my lady," she corrected as she took the seat. She sat like a queen as she picked up the fork and put a small bite into her mouth. She chewed slowly and then swallowed. "Nope. Still the same old spinach. Wanna try?" She held the fork with spinach up to the fox.
Tails made a gagging sound before going to tweak the machine again.
Amy shrugged as she ate more of the spinach. Three bites later and Amy felt sleepy. She fell over and made a loud thud on the floor.
Tails scurried to see the source of the sound. He hissed as he watched the change with his own eyes. He pushed the button on his wrist communicator. "Guys, I am going to need help at my lab. Stat."

Tikal and Rouge become friends fanfic

Tikal sat completely still as she looked around. She could feel the warmth of the master  emerald behind her. Butterflies stopped to land on the wild flowers growing around the alter.
She wondered where Knuckles was. She also wondered how she got out of the master emerald but she decided it was best to focus on one thing at a time.
"Hey! You're not Knuckles." A white bat flew up to the orange echidna. "Who are you?"
Tikal looked at the bat. She took notice of the purple bag she was carrying. Tikal smiled. It must be movie night for the two love birds.
Rouge only glared at the echidna. She didn't know her. She was pissed that Knuckles had been lying about being the last of his kind. If he was replacing her with this scrany mute girl she was going to throw a fit.
"I'm Tikal," she nodded to the master emerald. "I live in there. Chaos let me come visit for a while," she lied to let Rouge relax a bit. She felt uncomfortable with the bat glaring at her.
"Oh," Rouge nodded as realization dawned on her. "Knuckles told me about you before."
Tikal smiled agained. "I'm glad. Also, thank you for taking time to visit Knuckles. He really loves your company."
Rouge smiled. "So can you see out of there," she pointed at the glowing emerald.
Tikal nodded. "Though only when I go to look and see how Knuckles is doing."
Rouge nodded and then a thought occurred to her. "You haven't seen... um..." She waved her hands around awkwardly as she tried tk figure out how to say it. Her white face turning red.
Tikal watched confused for a minute before it dawned on her. "Oh no worries," she reached out anf held Rouge's hand. "Everytime I've accidentally seen you two imitiment with each other, I instantly look away and don't check back in for four hours."
Rouge turned a bright red. "You still saw something!"
"I don't mean to," Tikal flushed. "And I leave right away too. I have and never had any intention of watching your two make love."
Rouge held up a hand to Tikal's mouth. "This is what I get for doing it in front of you unknowingly. Just don't let Knuckles know you saw anything. Got it?"
Tikal nodded.
"Good." Rouge patted Tikal on the head. "Are you hungry? We can go get food while we wait for the knucklehead."
Tikal's stomach let out a low growl. Tikal flushed a little as she nodded.
Rouge giggled as she led the orange echidna off the island to get food.

KRISSIE: here is ch5. I'm happy to hear the feedback from you guys.

Amy sat on a bench in front of the art museum. Her legs dangled off the edge as she read her book. She had arrived 10 minutes early and now awaited Shadow.
"Amy? What are you doing here?" A familiar voice called out to her. She looked up and smiled at the human with platinum blond hair.
"I'm waiting on a friend. What are you up to Topaz?" Amy closed her book as she slid to ome side of the bench. Topaz sat down next to her.
"I'm window shopping. There's a nice book store I heard just opened up. What do you and Cream have planned today?"
Amy chuckled. "I'm going to see the art museum, but not with Cream."
Topaz looked at the museum that Amy pointed at. She nodded before tilting her head slightly, "Then with who? No offense, but I don't know which of you guys would be into art."
"With Shadow," Amy beamed.
Topaz's eyes widened. "The rumor was true?" She mumbled.
"What rumor?" Amy tilted her head.
"Several rumors were going around like crazy at work yesterday," Topaz informed the pink hedgehog. "Shadow going on a date being a main one."
"Why is my love life such a hot topic with everyone?" Shadow mused from behind them.
The two jumped a little.
"How is your day going Shadow?" Topaz gave a nervous smile. She didn't want to be on his bad side.
"It's going well." Shadow gave a court nod. He turned to Amy and held out a yellow rose for her. "For you, Rose."
Amy smiled as she accepted the flower and placed it on her headband. "Thank you." She stood up and curtsied to Topaz. "I'll see you around Topaz."
Topaz gave a quick nod as she got up as well. "Enjoy the museum."
The two walked to the museum entrance.
"I'm sorry all of your co-workers think you're on a date." Amy stated softly as they entered the line for the exhibit.
"Oh I might have started that," Shadow shrugged. "Thomas asked how are 'date' went the night before. He practically shouted it in the middle of the shooting range. I said it went well and that I was going out with you agian. In the same, if not louder, volume."
Amy nodded. "So rumors got out of control at work."
"At least they're not discussing how I'm a murderer who will destroy everyone in my wake when I snap." Shadow seemed please. "Though I apologize for any rumors that may spread about you Rose."
Amy merely shrugged, "It can't be worse then being called a stalker."
"You were almost there though," he stated softly as he paid for the tickets.
Amy wrapped her arm around Shadow's and gave a hard squeeze. Shadow winced before looking at Amy.
"You've grown out of it," Shadow attempted to make amends. Amy hated being called a stalker as much as he hated being called a monster.
Amy loosened her grip some. "You love to tease." She looked away from  him and pretended to be focused on a sculpture in the room.
Shadow leaned in close to her and whispered in her ear, "I do and I'll tease you till I take my last breath."
Amy burst into giggles as she leaned her head on his shoulder. Several bystanders turned to look at the pair. Many seemed confused and Shadow was well aware of some of them recognizing the pair and some attempting to take discret pictures. Amy looked up at him with a bright smile. "I guess I'll just have to look forward to it."
Shadow smirked as he led her to one of the exhibits. "I counted five cameras," he muttered to Amy as they reached the new exhibit.
"Well rumors are going to be flying everywhere," Amy chuckled.
"Now all I have to do is figure out how to smile to get Steve in a kilt." Shadow sighed with pleasure at the thought.
"You're an evil man Shadow." Amy patted his cheek lightly with her hand. "Oh look, angels and demons!" Amy waved her hands at the paintings.
"A common motif of artists," Shadow added.
The two walked through the whole museum. Pausing breifly for paintings they had seen before and staring longer at new pieces. By the time they finished looking through the whole museum, it was a little past 3.
"Who's up for a late lunch slash early dinner?" Shadow asked the pink hedgehog.
"Me!" Amy held up her hand.
Shadow chuckled at Amy's antics.

Ouran High School Host Club Manga Review

Hello my kittens!
So last week I ordered the whole collection of Ouran High School Host Club Manga by Bisco Hatori.
Now I read Host Club a few years back in high school. My sister and I had up to at least volume 7 for sure. But my mom put all of my things in storage so I had to recollect my precious books. And today, I started with Host Club.
Now I had read the whole thing online before. But those were fan translations and not everything was translated properly. That's why I'm happy I have the full thing in official English translation.
I also found that Host Club is rated Teen. My sisters and I had an interesting conversation about book ratings because my oldest niece has begun reading manga too and her mom is concern about the content of some of them. It was a fun conversation.
But back to Host Club. The box the books come in has really pretty art on all sides and a handle at the top so you can carry it. I also like the little memo pad that came with it. I don't have a use for it now, but I'll think of one. I actually expected the memo pad to have bun-bun and tamaki's teddy on it, but it didn't. It had chibis of the host club which made me smile.
So  for story, we all have the basic jest down, Haruhi accidentally breaks an 80$ million vase and says she'll pay it back. She winds up working for the host club to pay back the debt. They later find out she's a girl and we dive head first into a romantic comedy from here.
So for those here who haven't read the manga yet and might not be sure if you want to, let me take the time to address you. Are you a fan of romantic comedies? Or just comedies in general? Then by all means find the first volume at a book store or library and read it. If you enjoy what you've read, read the rest. If not, move onward. It might not be your thing. This is how I get into manga. I read the first volume and decide from there to continue onward.
Now the beauty with Host Club is that while the characters don't age, they do develope. They grow and they expand their worlds and that's awesome. And when it comes time for the characters to progress in school such as the oldest members of the host club graduating and going to college, the characters around in the manga actually make jokes about it. It's just such a charming thing to see that it makes it even more enjoyable. Bisco Hatori did a good job with that. I actually began crying while reading the manga at around vol 11 or so. Because the way she writes the emotional scenes really reach out and touch my heart. And it also knows when to be funny and when to let the emotions just sit for a while.
I am glad that the ending is pretty much a happily ever after. And another thing I enjoyed were Bisco Hatori's little breif peeks at the future. Those were great. I really enjoyed the notes next to them. Though I would like to see some one shots of their futures, it's not needed and the story itself is wonderfully written and takes time to develop the characters so we can become attached to them.
And with that, I highly recommend Host Club to read and if you're going to read it, please complete it.
Hugs kittens!

Blind Date ch4

KRISSIE: I really like where this is going. I'm hoping you're all enjoying it.

Shadow walked into the guest waiting room. He saw a few of his co-workers significant others. He wasn't sure if which were married or dating, but he was very aware of the small human woman with huzelnut hair. She was very far along in her pregnancy. She smiled at the ebony hedgehog with light brown eyes.
"Amy went to the supply closet, Shadow," she stated sweetly.
Shadow arched an eyebrow at the woman. Was she one of Rose's friends? He didn't recongize her, but he was never good at remembering people who weren't enemies or allies.
"Amy Rose, the pink hedgehog," she held her hand up at Amy's height. "She has green eyes. You're here to escort her home right? She wanted me to tell you that she went to the supply closet."
Shadow nodded as he stared at the woman. He noticed that she had a lot pf sweat forming on her forehead and she appeared rather pale. Shadow shifted from one side to side as he tried to place why staring at this woman made him feel uncomfortable. It was an unease he hadn't felt since seeing Maria undergo some opperation on the ark.
The woman merely smiled sweetly as she rubbed her stomach.
"I found it," Amy came into the room carrying several boxes. She dropped them in a chair next to the woman as she smiled at her. "How far apart are the cramps?"
"Two hours," the woman answered. "Also," she gestured to Shadow.
Amy turned and beamed at Shadow. "Oh hey! I just came to make sure you don't have work tomorrow. You forget sometimes."
Shadow nodded as he held his hands behind his back. "What's with all the first aid kits?"
"Oh, Sara here went into labor a while ago. I went to get some things for her while we waited for her husband and brother to come get her." Amy stated.
Shadow nodded and then his eyes went wide. "Shouldn't she be in a hospital?!"
Everyone in the room shrunk back. They had never seen Shadow yell and not attack.
"Shadow," Amy placed a hand on his shoulder, "You know biology right?"
Shadow nodded.
"Then you know that labor takes hours, right?" Amy turned to grab asprin out of one of the boxes. "Take this," Amy looked around for the water fountain. "Do you have a cup?"
Sara held up a bottle full of water.
Amy nodded. She turned back to Shadow. "I told Sara I would stay here with her til her husband gets here."
"Where is he?" Shadow crossed his arms. Rather labor took hours or not, he wanted to send the woman to the hospital sooner then later.
"He's on his way. He just got off work at the electric company on the other side of town." Sara answered.
"So why are you here then?" Shadow spat.
Amy greeted Shadow with a punch to a shoulder. "Forgive him. He wants to help but doesn't know how. So he's upset."
Sara attempted to stiffle a giggle as Shadow rolled his eyes. "My brother works here. He wanted to get dinner with me after work today."
Shadow nodded. "Who is he? I'll go get him for you."
"His name is Steve Wohlic." She answered. "Do you know him?"
Shadow nodded. "Yeah. He was talking about wearing a kilt earlier."
Sara burst into laughter. "That'll be a sight."
Shadow nodded as he left and walked back to the office. Everyone grew quiet as Shadow walked into the office. He walked up to Steve. "Your sister, Sara, is in labor in the guest waiting room. Rose is tending to her. Would you mind taking your stubborn sister to a hospital?"
Steve turned pale. "Labor? As in the baby is coming now?!"
Shadow nodded with a blank face.
"It's not due for another two weeks!" Steve shot up from his desk.
"Well apparently it wants Rose to be the nurse, because that's what she's doing right now." Shadow shrugged as he followed the large man to the guest area.
"Is Amy Rose even a licensed nurse?" Steve shrieked.
"She's nursed enough wounds to be considered one," Shadow assured his now very pale co-worker.
"Have you ever dealt with women in labor?" Steve asked once he reached Amy.
Amy looked annoyed at Steve. "Yes. I was a nurse maid in Mercia. When there weren't any hospitals. I have helped women give birth to their babies safely since I was 5. I think I am more then qualified to help your sister have the baby right here and now if need be."
Steve shut up and looked at his sister with a please help me look.
"So what is this I'm hear about you wearing a kilt?" Sara changed subjects.
"How did you?" Steve turned to look at Shadow as he paled some, "I always thought you tuned us all out..."
"I have really good hearing," Shadow tapped his head a little under his ear.
Steve nodded. He licked his lips nervously as he took a step back from Shadow.
"It's unlikely to happen," Steve told his sister.
"Though I would enjoy seeing it," Shadow stated as he walked and stood beside Amy.
"Learn to smile geniuenly and without it being a smirk and we'll talk." Steve shot Shadow a warning glare.
Shadow shrugged. His face indifferent as always. "Rose, I'm going to need your help with a mission."
"He said he would wear a kilt if you smiled, huh?" Amy snickered as she gestured to Steve. "That's going to be hard for you. Any reason you want to see your co-worker in a kilt?"
"He's also going to do a song and dance number to," Shadow added. "I think it'll be... amusing."
Amy sighed. "You have my sympathies Steve. But now with this, he'll try expressing his emotions. So thanks."
Steve hung his head. "Yeah. Glad I could be used as an incentive for him."
"Well make sure to invite me to watch too," Sara beamed as her brother lead her to his car. Steve could only roll his eyes. Amy waved them off before going with Shadow.
"So you're officially qualified to be a nurse, huh?" Shadow mused. "The freedom fighters must be very thankful."
"I am. How do you think I could patch you guys up in space so often?" Amy beamed with pride.
"Duct tape?" Shadow jested in a monotone.
"Haha," Amy gave his arm a light tap. "So how should we start on the teach Shadow how to smile lessons?"
Shadow shrugged. "You're the one who knows about smiles Rose."
"Well what makes you happy?" Amy asked. Though she half knew the answer.
"Seeing my enemies defeated." Shadow stated. "Chocolate, Doritos, violent video games, stuff like that."
Amy sighed. "And the goal is to smile without it being evil or arrogant. This is going to take a while."
"In public. I have to smile in public." Shadow groaned a little.
"You really want to see Steve in a kilt that bad huh?" Amy smirked.
"So bad that my sides hurt," he affirmed.
"Well no one is at my house and I have a spare room if you want to drop to the floor amd laugh for a while." Amy offered.
"I think I'll take you up on that Rose." Shadow nodded.
Amy unlocked the door to her house and Shadow followed her. She closed the door and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
"Spare room is to the left on the hall." She gestured.
Shadow nodded as he left the kitchen. It didn't take long foe Amy to hear Shadow's laughing about the idea of Steve wearing a kilt. Amy chuckled too. She wished Shadow wouldn't be so shy about showing emotions in front of others, but she agreed with Shadow. If strangers heard or saw him laughing, they would think he had snapped and was about to take over the world.
She made a simple dinner and put Shadow's on a plate in the microwave for when he was done with his laughing fit.

Blind Date Ch3

KRISSIE: now we begin chapter 3.

Rouge walked into work and stopped by Thomas' desk. "So how was your night?"
"It was great. That barista really knew how to move her hips!" Thomas beamed.
"So that's why you stood up Amy?" Rouge arched a brow at the cat.
"She doesn't sound like the kind to put out," Thomas shrugged. "I told Shadow to have you call Derek. Derek is good at teaching clueless girls how to kiss."
Rouge arched an eyebrow at Thomas. "You didn't send Shadow to take your place for a socialization exercise?"
Thomas paused as he looked at the bat. "No." He stood up and began scanning the office for the hedgehog. "Shadow still can't hang out with people right, let alone date. Did he take her on a date?"
Rouge nodded, "He said you told him to do it as a socialization exercise and he agreed so you would shut up about it for a while."
"I never said that," the two made their way around the office. They finally found the famous hedgehog in the shooting ranch practicing his aim.
"How upset was she after having to go on a date with Mr. Emo?" Thomas  mused as he jabbed his thumb at Shadow.
"She came back home giggling," Rouge proudly stated. "Shadow was a gentleman."
Thomas arched a brow. "Ok. How hot was this girl that Shadow lied to replace me and how is he able to make a girl giggle?"
Rouge glared at the first part. "1. Amy was stunning last night. She's a natural beauty anyway." Rouge shrugged. "And 2. Shadow and Amy have always gotten along."
Thomas shook his head. Then an idea occured to him. He might as well tease Shadow. There was a small pocket of silence as thw soldiers reloaded the guns for the next practice round.
"Hey Shadow, how did your date go last night?" Thomas asked in a yell into the range.
Everyone froze as they turned to look at Shadow. The word date and Shadow didn't sound right. So they wondered if the hedgehog had killed someone last night and if he was taking out left over blood lust on the target.
Shadow stayed silent as he thought about his reponse. Should he put Thomas through the ringer now? Nah, there were mainly male agents around right now. It would be best to do it in front of the female agents who would continue putting him through the ringer for a little while longer.
Shadow looked up at Thomas. "It went well," he called back at the same volume Thomas called put in. "We have a 2nd date scheduled for tomorrow. So try not to mess anything up so bad that I have to spend my weekend here fixing it." He turned back to the target and aimed his gun and began firing at the targets
Thomas nodded. "Good luck then!" He turned on his heel and left with Rouge closely behind him.
Shadow didn't mind that people were whispering about him behind his back. He was used to that. It was a constant. But he was suddenly aware that the discussion around him was different. Instead of being about how dangerous he was and if he was suddenly going to turn on everyone amd take over the world or feed them to the black arms, the topics were different.  In a way Shadow wasn't sure how to feel about it.
Shadow has a date? For real?
With who? Is it a girl or a guy? What? no one knows what he likes you know. He could be into guys for all we know.
Nah, I heard it's a chick.
Is she all doom and gloom like him? Does she work in the military?
We would know who it was if she did.
I doubt Shadow actually likes her. He's probably going on a few dates so he can fuck her and leave.
Who knew Shadow needed to get his rocks off too? I always kind of thought Gereald made him sterile so he wouldn't have those urges. A better way to get him to stay focused, you know.
I just hope this girl isn't expecting more then a quick fuck from him.
Well, if he does get his rocks off, maybe he'll come into work with a bettet mood.
Yeah, and maybe he'll smile.
Please he could fuck all day and night and not smile once. Look at him.
Shadow rolled his eyes as he finished up his paperwork. Why was everyone so insterested in his sex life all of a sudden? Normally when it came to things like that it was rumors about Rouge which were mostly false. And then a stray rumor about other co-workers. Shadow was sure most of those were false too.
The commander walked into the office and everyone suddenly hushed and busied themselves with work. He walked up to Shadow and Shadow naturally saluted out og habit. The commander waved his hand indicating he needent bother.
"Miss Amy Rose just came by," the commander stated with a neutral expeession. "She wanted to make sure you didn't have work tomorrow. From my understanding, you two have an outing planned?"
Shadow nodded, "Yes. We do have plans tomorrow. Is there anything I need to do tomorrow for GUN sir?"
The commander shook his head. "Just finish your paperwork and you're free to go. Also, if it's not too much trouble why don't you walk Miss Rose home. It's rather dark and from my understanding she gets lost easily."
Shadow smiled as he nodded. "Of course commander."
The commander nodded as he left to go handle other commander like things.
Shadow busied himself with the paperwork. He knew Rose wouldn't want to stay in the guest waiting area for long. He was sure she would be somewhere else in the building by the time he finished the paperwork.
The murmur of rumors slowly started up again. Shadow didn't comment on them, but he wish they would leave Rose out of it.
His date is with Amy Rose?
Isn't that the girl with the hammer? The Sonic fan girl?
Well she did grow out of that. But isn't she a bit... too young for Shadow?
She is grown. Maybe Shadow just likes younger girls. It's their personalities I'm worried about. They're total opposites!
But isn't the saying opposites attract?
Yeah that may be true, but I don't think it'll work for them. If anything they'll have a bad break up and Amy is such a fierce person she'll try to get Shadow with her hammer and he'll beat her with it for it.
Shadow clenched his teeth. There had been several instances were Rose had aimed her hammer and he had taken it and hit her with it. He felt slightly bad for it, but for the mission objective, he didn't have time to fight her.
You'll never know though, maybe dating Amy will make Shadow nicer.
Ha! The day he smiles and it's not a smirk about I'm better then you, then I'll wear a kilt and do a dance in the middle of Station Squares train station!
Shadow bit his tongue. The thought of seeing his coworker in a kilt dancing was very amusing. He recongized the deep voice too. He was sure it Steve. The large heavy set human was a good guy. He was often called a teddy bear. Shadow respected his hand to hand combat and hunting skills.
Shadow took a deep breath as he finished the last of the paperwork and filed it away. He needed to leave before he burst into laughter and everyone would think he finally snapped and was about to go on a murderous rampage. He didn't want to explain that he was eavesdropping on office gossip like some school girl.
