Shadow doubled check his bag.

Shadow doubled check his bag. He had everything he needed but it didn’t hurt to double check. Though in his case, it was the 6th time checking. 

His chao watched her coworker with amused interest. Shadow being openly nervous was a rarity. It always amused her and it only happened when it concerned one person.

“Shadow, you take this trip every year with Amy.” Rouge noted. “I’m sure you have everything you’ll need and then some.”

“Inquiry,” Omega spoke up. “You are staying at the residence Amy Rose owns, correct?”

“Correct.” Shadow nodded.

“Why not leave some things there so you don’t have to constantly bring them?”

Shadow’s ears turned red as he froze. Rouge chuckled. 

“Oh, they are playing house,” She joked. "Leaving a few of your things nice be good for you two. It might be the night to becoming official that you two need."

"It's not like that." Shadow's face was flush as he clenched his first. A knock caught their attention. Shadow turned to give Rouge a glare. "Not a word in front of Rose." He growled before going to answer the door. 

Amy greeted Shadow with a bubbly smile. Shadow greeted her with a nod as he let her inside. The dark Shadow Chao chipped happily as it flew over to her. 

"Hi Lance," Amy hugged the Chao tightly as she walked into the living room. Her quills hung loosely passed her shoulders. She wore a pair of blue jeans and a baggy loose sweater.
