Chapter 9: Apartment Shopping

*This part of the story takes place right after chapter 8*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Amy woke up and found Shadow to be nowhere. She walked into her kitchen and found a note on her table. It read exactly like this, "Went to....'work'. Be back whenever." She walked into the living room and turned on her T.V. She surfed through the channels and one particular channel caught her eye. It was a news report about Shadow.

"According to G.U.N., Shadow the Hedgehog, former villain, is now working for them as an agent. Mobians should not be afraid to approach him, as he is now a regular Mobian."

She remembered that he had to leave at 7:00. She checked her clock and it was already 11:00. She had slept in. She went to go take a shower. She turned on the water and let it heat up.

During her shower, she started to daydream. She remembered what happened last night. She was looking for some matches upstairs and she tripped and landed on Shadow. She remembered how hot her face was from blushing after their noses touched. She started to drift deeper in her daydream. She began to imagine things that never happened. She started to believe that she was an under a waterfall, with someone else. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him. The mist from the waterfall covered his face, but she didn't care. They pulled in closer and their lips touched. They began to kiss each other. She felt her face blush. The mist started to clear up and their eyes met. She saw the same colored eyes she saw last night, crimson red ones. When she pulled back, she was staring face to face with Shadow.

She finally snapped out of her daydream. She was still in the shower. She started to doubt herself.

"Me and Shadow? Yeah right! I don't know what I was thinking!"

She dried herself off and wrapped a towel around herself. She walked into the kitchen and turned completely white. Shadow was in the kitchen. Before she had time to react, Shadow had already seen her. He quickly moved his eyes.

"AMY! I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were going into the kitchen!"

"Yeah, I mean. It's okay, just...."

She walked away into her room, but she talked to herself. Shadow could hear.

"Stupid, stupid!" Amy whispered to herself.

She came back later with her regular red dress on and her headband on.

"Don't you ever wear anything else?" asked Shadow.

"AUH! Of course I do! I just usually wear this red dress."

"Sure..."

"You're such a jerk! Besides, shouldn't you be at 'work'?"

"Today was only a tour. Tomorrow is the day I actually do some work."

"Well, do you want to find some apartments?" asked Amy.

"Yes. I can't wait to get out of this hell-hole."

Amy only gave him a glare.

"Well, I saw some ads in the newspaper." Amy said.

Shadow pulled out his Chaos Emerald.

"Umm...Shadow?"

"What?"

"Could we walk there?"

"I thought we went over this." replied Shadow.

"Actually, look at this news report." Amy said as she pulled Shadow into the living room. She turned on her T.V. and played the news report again.

"According to G.U.N., Shadow the Hedgehog, former villain, is now working for them as an agent. Mobians should not be afraid to approach him, as he is now a regular Mobian."

Shadow stood there in shock.

"How could they do this! Humiliate me on the television! I'll kill them!"

"Hey, Shadow! Calm down. Look on the bright side." said Amy.

"What bright side?" asked Shadow.

"At least now you don't have to hide in...the shadows!" giggled Amy.

Shadow stared at her blankly.

"That was a terrible joke, Amy."

"Well, I don't see you cracking jokes." said Amy.

"Hmph. Let's go."

They left out the front door and Shadow was humiliated. People started staring at them. He could hear some snicker, others whisper, and others say, "Aww."
Shadow's fists started to tighten. Amy could notice Shadow was becoming aggravated. Amy told him to calm down.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*5 minutes later*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They had arrived in front of the apartment complex. They both walked in and went to the front desk.

"Hi! Can we check out some of the apartments here?" asked Amy.

"Sure. Please feel free to check and apartments on this list. These are the ones that are available for rent. If you find any you like, please come ask for the price." said the man at the front desk.

"Thanks!" Amy replied.

Shadow followed Amy.

They looked at multiple apartments and Amy had different opinions on all of them. Shadow had the same feeling for all of them. "Whatever."

When they were finished, Amy kept asking Shadow how he felt about this one or that one. Shadow said, "Look, Amy. I don't care which one I get."

Amy responded with, "But that one has a jacuzzi inside, and that one has 2 bedrooms!"

"AH! Fine, alright! I'll take that one!" Shadow pointed at apartment #225

"Ugh, Shadow. You have no taste at all! How about I choose for you?" suggested Amy.

"Whatever."

"Umm, how about that one?" asked Amy.

She pointed at apartment #234.

"Sur..."

"No, no. Um, how about #247"

"Yes! Now, let's go!" Shadow said before Amy could change her mind.

They walked back to the front desk.

"Hi. How much is apartment #247?" asked Amy.

"That apartment is 100 rings a month." said the owner.

"Wow! That's a good deal!"

"Yes, it is. Are you going to be staying here?" asked the owner.

"Oh, no. It's for a friend."

"Well, is he or she here? He or she needs to be here to sign the contract."

"Okay, let me go get him." Amy said.

Amy walked outside and walked over to Shadow.

"Shadow."

"What?"

"You need to come inside to sign the contract."

"Hrmmm."

Shadow walked inside with Amy.

"Ah! You're back. Where is your friend?" asked the owner.

"This is him, Shadow."

"Oh. Your friend is Shadow the Hedgehog?"

"Yes." replied Amy.

"He's not going to destroy my apartments is he?" asked the owner.

"I WILL IF YOU KEEP RUNNING YOUR MOUTH!!" Shadow yelled.

Amy grabbed Shadow's quills and pulled hard.

"AUGH! GOD DAMN IT! I WON'T!"

Amy let go.

"Okay, sign here and here."

Shadow snatched the pen from the owner and signed the paper.

"Great! Here are your keys, and just come to me when you want your mail. I should expect the first month's rent next month!"

"Hmph."

Shadow left to his apartment and the owner asked Amy some questions.

"Anything I shouldn't say or do in front of him?" asked the owner.

"Don't insult him, don't mention anyone named Maria, and don't talk about 50 years ago." Amy said.

"Simple enough. Thank you very much." said the owner.

Amy left to Shadow's apartment and met him inside. His apartment had a kitchen, living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a small balcony. He had a refrigerator a T.V. set, a couch, one bed, a shower, a toilet, and a chair in the balcony.

"It's so...plain."" Amy said.

"Just the way I like it." Shadow said.

"Well, it's getting dark. I should get home. Could you Chaos Control me home?" asked Amy.

"Can't you walk home?" asked Shadow.

"And what if I get attacked again?" asked Amy.

"Not my problem." said Shadow.

Amy, in thought, "Why is he such a jerk all of a sudden?"

Then, all of a sudden, a bright light engulfed them and Amy appeared in front of her house.

"There, I used it." said Shadow.

"What was that?" asked Amy.

"Nothing. Goodbye."

"Shadow, wait!"

Shadow turned his head towards Amy's direction.

"I'll, uh, see you around?" asked Amy.

"Sure." Shadow said as he Chaos Controlled home.

Amy walked into her room and went to sleep.

Shadow, at his apartment, sat on his balcony, looking up into the stars. A tear fell down his eye as he remembered those gruesome images from the ark. He walked into his room and fell asleep on his bed.
I think this chapter turned out pretty good!
