KRISSIE: Finally returning. Hopefully no one throws rocks at me for the wait.

Shadow glared at his phone. Amy had been avoiding him and he knew it. But for her to just go to Mercia to hide from him! It was the most infuriating thing to him.
He now sat glaring at his phone waiting for some kind of message from the pink hedgehog. Since she said she wanted to be alone for a while, fine. He would wait for her to contact him. But he was getting impatient. He held his phone away from his face and simply dropped it. Clonk-klak.
Shadow looked over to find the phone had hit the floor just right and rolled into the crater Amy had caused. He stared at it for a moment before laughing.
How did she manage such things?
"Shadow are you alright?" Rouge asked. She had walked up to his home to hear a sound she wasn't used to and let herself inside. She found the ebony hedgehog curled up holding his side as his hand covered his face. For a second, she thought he was having a mental break down.
Shadow looked up at her, tears forming in his eyes as he gestured towards the crater beside his chair. "Look at what she's done." 

Rouge looked at the crater and then back at her coworker. "How did Amy break your floor like that?"

"Rose is a lot stronger then she looks. No wonder everyone shrieks away from her when she's angry." Shadow chuckled as he tried to catch his breath. Once he had regained his composure, he stood up. "So what brings you by?"

"I wanted to see how you were. You seem to be on edge more then usual lately. The others at GUN have noticed and began their normal murmurs." Rouge stated as she picked up Shadow's phone from the crater. "Good thing your phone isn't broken with your floor," she held the phone out to Shadow. Shadow simply shrugged as he took the phone. He turned on the screen to check for new messages. None from Rose. He turned the screen off and put the phone on the stand next to his chair. 

"Want to go out for a bit?" Rouge offered hopefully. 

Shadow mulled it over for a moment. Some time outside his house would be good. "Sure, I need to get materials to fix my floor."

Rouge smiled. "Construction store it is."

Shadow followed the bat to her car in the yard. Locking his front door on the way.

Amy Rose found John to be rather hyper. The preteen wanted to be told stories of freedom fighting non-stop or run outside  climb trees. She felt like she had a lot in common with her cousin.

John paused on a tree branch and loomed down at Amy standjng by the base of the tree. 

"How come your friends keep texting you?"

Amy blinked at the sudden question. She shrugged it off, "They want to mnow how I'm doing. It's normal to text friends when you aren't able to see them."

John pursed his lips as he looked at the other trees. "You came home suddenly. Did you get into a fight with a friend and don't know how to make up yet?" He plucked a few leaves off  branch. 

"What?" Amy shook her head. John normally didn't ask such on the nose questions. "No, why would you ask that?"

John sighed as he made his way down. " I picked up your phone and saw a text from Cream asking about what happened. I got curious," John twiddled with his fingers. "So i went through more of your texts and saw that you didn't want to talk to Shadow. So i thought you two got into a fight and didn't know how to make up." John hugged onto Amy. "It's okay, if it is.

Amy sighed as she rustled his hair. "Sneaky child. Who told you it was okay to snoop?"

"Snooping as usual on Eggman is fine, but not when you're worried about family?" John tilted his head with a small pout. "Besides I'm sure mum and dad snoop on me all the time."

Amy chuckled. "That's just parents. They're protective," she pulled John up into a tight hug. She released him when he began wheezing for air. "Oops."

"How do your friends survive," John muttered as he caught his breath.

Amy shrugged. "Oh, i think i see a rare bird over there," she walked towards the animal as John crouched. The echidna caught up with her after a moment.

"So what did you two fight about?" John asked curiously. 

Amy sighed as she watched the bird. "You know how you're not aware of a flaw until someone points it out to you and then you're mad at them until you're ready to admit they're right?"

"Yeah, I had a fight like that with one of my mates at school. He's really perceptive. At least that's what mom calls it." John kicked a rock with his shoe. 

Amy turned to smile at her cousin. "That's what Shadow is too."

"But if you're aware he's right?" John tilted his head.

"I'm still upset and want to be angry with him for a while longer." Amy smiled. "I'll talk to him once I've worked through my issue and then he'll be stunned by how much I've matured." Amy placed her knuckles on hips and stood tall in triumph. She looked like a super hero to John. 

"Alright." John smiled. He didn't quite get it, but maybe it was because of  his age. His dad love saying that for most things he didn't get.
