Amy would be lying if she said she wasn't scared at all. Looking up at the apartment's building, her little legs tremble. She didn't know if it was because she was scared or because it was the start of winter and she wasn't wearing anything to protect her legs.

The apartment complex was, of course, the finest and most luxurious in the entirety of Central City. As if it was designed to please Team Dark, the exterior of the apartment screamed Shadow the Hedgehog as it was all black. The inside expressed Omega as the inside walls were painted in a beautiful metallic color and the decoration was completely Rouge's personality.

Amy didn't know if she could spend an entire month here. This place was too luxurious and fancy compared to her small cozy house on the outskirts of the city.

But she had to do it.

She took the elevator and pressed the number 9 button. Elevator music played, very monotone and it didn't match Amy's feelings at the moment. With a 'ring' sound the doors of the elevator opened and as she walked out she was once again met luxuries.

As she walked through the elongated hallway. Amy found other rooms that allowed her to see through due that their walls were made out of crystal ... A pool, a gym, a sauna, a movie theater.

Alright, this was getting weird.

As if she was part of a scary movie, Amy carefully looked around to find her room of destination.

And there it was, just as Rouge told her ... Floor nine, number 143.

With a gulp of her saliva, Amy pressed the bell button for a few seconds. She waited for the white bat to show up and prayed to Chaos she didn't at the same time. If Rouge doesn't show up, Amy could leave and that way she could have an excuse to leave.

"Please don't be here, don't be here, don't be-"

"Amy! You are here!"

All hopes of loving were gone as the beautiful bat smiled at her and gave her a killing hug. Amy hugged her and gave small pats on her back, however, the smile she gave him was weaker and full of concerns.

Rouge walked back to her apartment, alluding Amy to follow her and she did. The inside of Team Dark's apartment was smaller than she expected, however considering that they had the whole apartment floor for themselves, it made sense.

Disregarding the size, it was still very well spaced and big enough for three people. Rouge guided Amy to the living room in which a large plasma TV was placed in front of the very comfortable looking couch. It was a silver color and soft like a cloud, Amy could picture Rouge or Shadow falling asleep on it. On the right and left side of the couch, a recliner single sofa of the same color decorated the livingroom. In the middle, a small crystal table was placed. Amy looked around the room and if she couldn't tell any better, she could swear that Rouge was totally in charge of decorating everything. She couldn't wait to see the kitchen.

"Thank you again for doing this honey," Rouge said as she invited Amy to seat in the soft-looking sofa.

The pink hedgehog analyzed the bat's clothes. She was looking as good as always. A pink handbag, tight booty shorts and she was wearing a white loose blouse. Amy could see through her blouse that she was wearing a black bikini top, there was no doubt she was going straight to the beach.

"Remind me why I am doing this again?" Amy looked around the living room again, although all of this was nice she wasn't used to this kind of setting.

"Because I got you a date with Sonic this weekend, remember?" Rouged said. "Besides, I honestly won't be able to rest unless I know someone mature is watching over my two idiots."

Amy sighed, she was defeated. She had to be honest to herself, she didn't want to do this but Rouge was one of her closest friends, if not the closest. The beautiful bat had done many things in the past for the hammer user and it was time she paid for all of that. Amy decided to have a good attitude with this and who knows, maybe after this Omega and Shadow could be ... um in good terms?

"You deserve a good rest," Amy said as she smiled, "Don't worry about it, I'll have everything in control. Besides how bad could it be?"

"Actually, it can be ... a bit bad," Rouge opened her pink handbag and she pulled a small red notebook. She handed it over to Amy who was a bit weird out by her gesture. "I wrote you a survival guide in case anything happens, you know the basic stuff."

Amy was starting to sightly panic, not because of the survival guide itself. When she babysat, it was normal for parents to leave a notebook with small notes written on them just in case something happened. What was freaking her out was that this was a 200-page notebook and by the looks of it, Rouge had written all over it, front and back.

As she looked over the notebook she opened what seemed to be the first chapter.

"Chapter one ... understanding the basics of the powerful robot E123 Omega & The Ultimate Life Form, Shadow the Hedgehog," Amy read out loud as she eyed Rouge who had a weak smile.

Rouge scratched the back of her head in embarrassment and looked to the other side. "There's even a table of content ... but honestly don't worry about it too much, this is only if anything bad happens and if you can't reach out to me."

"Well, I certainly do appreciate the thought," Amy held the red notebook tightly. She knew that in the month she was going to be staying here, there was meant to be some type of emergency. The pink one noticed that for it to be a shared apartment, it was awfully quiet. "By the way ... Where are Omega and Shadow?"

"Omega is getting maintenance with the yellow fox," Rouge said. "Friendly reminder he needs to do maintenance every two weeks and Shadow, well ... I don't know. He is somewhere out there."

The pink one let out a small sigh a bit relieved but it was short-lived as a thought crossed her mind. "Wait, they do know that I am staying over right?"

"Oh, my look at the time! I am going to miss the plane!" Rouge placed a hand on her right cheek as she stood up from the couch.

"Wait, Rouge but-"

"You will be fine! They are nice once you get to know them," the white one walked towards along the halls of the apartment and disappeared into a room. She was quick to come back with a black suitcase and happily, she headed towards the exit door.

Amy followed from behind, still wishing that there was a way that the bat would stay.

"If anything bad happens, just call me and if I don't answer just read the survival guide," she said as she pointed at the red notebook in Amy's hand. After a pause, Rouge opened her arms and at such a gesture, Amy embraced her friend in one of her signature hugs.

"Take care, and please keep me updated with your trip," Amy said as she released Rouge from her grasp.

"I will!" Rouge said. "If Shadow and Omega bring you trouble, don't hesitate to call me as well."

With a soft nod from the pink one, Rouge gave one last smile. She knew that the pink will survive this month. Rouge opened the door and left.

As she watched the bat leave, many questions arose in Amy's head. Why didn't Shadow and Omega say their goodbyes? Why didn't Rouge tell them that Amy was going to be staying? Why did Rouge go as so far as to write her a survival guide?

Her thoughts went back again to the red notebook she was holding. It looked brand new as if Rouge had just bought it for the sole reason to write to Amy.

She thought about it, this could be a good read and by the looks of the weather, it seemed like it was going to rain anytime soon.

"Alright," Amy said to herself. "Let's do this."

It was already 7 p.m. and there was no sign of the robot nor the hedgehog. Amy had already placed her things in Rouge's room. She had brought just some necessities, pajamas, a few extra pairs of clothes, toothbrushes, deodorant, and other utilities.

Since it was already late, Amy decided to change into her pajamas. Oversize pink shorts and a white blouse that only slipped off her shoulders once in a while because it was just too big for her.

As she finished making a cup of coffee for herself, Amy sat on the very soft couch. She brought her legs up and extended them along with the elongated couch. She opened the red notebook as she took a sip of her coffee. She encountered the first page that reads:

Table of contents:

I.The basics of the powerful robot E123 Omega & the Ultimate Life Form Shadow the hedgehog ... Pg.3

II. Habits ... Pg. 10.

III. Strange mannerism ... Pg. 17.

IV. Understading Omega ... Pg. 22.

V. Understanding Shadow Part 1 ... Pg. 27.

The list continued and it was long but Amy decided to skip it and decided to just jump right into chapter one. She reached page three and Amy appreciated Rouge's extremely artistic handwriting, cursive and feminine ... it was very much like her. With that in mind, the pink hedgehog began to read.

The basics of the powerful robot E123 Omega & the Ultimate Life Form Shadow the hedgehog ...

Chapter One

If you are reading this, that means that you are lovely Amy Rose and you need some help with understanding and living with my two idiots. They can a bit rude sometimes (especially Shadow) but they mean good. But before we went into the good parts, I want to recommend you to keep this notebook to yourself and NEVER show this to either Shadow or Omega. This notebook will contain some personal information about the two. So if you want to keep living here and maybe build a bond with my two idiots, then you should follow my advice. Alright, let start with Omega, because he is easier to understand. Here are some basic points you need to know about him.

Omega:

-Rarely gets angry but if he does just give him a glass of his favorite type of oil. (Goldfire 4-Stroke Synthetic Blend Motor Oil)

-Omega shuts down completely when he sleeps.

-Although he is very overprotective of Shadow, he is always pushing him to go out of comfort zone.

-After our latest mission, Omega got badly injured and he needs to do maintenance every two weeks.

-He loves to watch terminator, which always puts him in a good mood.

- He is a robot he still trying to figure out what it means to have friends, He doesn't many friends so if you could help him that, that would be great!

Shadow:

-He is almost always in a bad mood. There's no way you can make him feel better, just let him be.

-He hates to awaken.

-Don't go inside his room ... NEVER.

-He loves his bike if there's anything that makes him happy is riding his Harley.

-He sometimes brings a girl to the apartment, the only thing I can recommend is to leave the apartment until the next day ... bring Omega with you please.

-He loves coffee, he buys very expensive coffee beans. You shall NEVER ... NEVER make coffee out his beans.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

Being afraid was an understatement ... Amy was almost shitting herself. She was seated very comfortably on the sofa, the red notebook in her hand and on the other a cup of coffee. Turning her head slowly, she found Shadow the Hedgehog staring down at her from the other side of the sofa. Vermillion's eyes showed angered and Amy didn't know what he was angry about out of the 1000 reasons there was.

"You better give a good reason as to why you are in my apartment, drinking my coffee beans." Shadow didn't hesitate to move closer to Amy. Before he was behind the sofa but now he was right in front of the pink hedgehog, next to the crystal table.

At first, Amy was scared and she didn't pay attention to Shadow's details. The black hedgehog was wearing nothing but his iconic black jacket. His hoover shoes and gloves with rings. His clothing wasn't the thing she cared about, it was mostly the fact that he was soaking wet.

"Of course, the rain must have gotten him while he was riding his bike back home."

"Are you alright? Do you want me to bring you a towel?"

Amy's response took Shadow by surprise, he didn't think too much about it as his anger was more powerful at the moment.

"Just answer my question."

Amy gulped as she sat down straight and puts her cup of coffee on top of the crystal table. She looked around nervously, thinking about how she could word her answer.

"Rouge asked me to ... stay here and watch over you and Omega," Amy said.

Shadow placed a hand on her forehead and the other on his waist, showing his frustration. "She what?"

"Rouge asked me to-"

"I heard you the first time!" the black hedgehog pulled out his phone. He was looking for some privacy and so, he walked towards the next room, which was the kitchen.

Pressing different buttons on his phone, he finally dialed the number he was looking for. He pressed the phone on his ear as he waited for the bat to answer.

"Rouge the bat speaking,"

"Would you mind telling me why on Mobius is that pink fur doing in my apartment?" Shadow asked as he tried to control his level of anger.

"You mean, our apartment honey and she is staying because I asked her to," Rouge made a pause. "I can't enjoy my vacations unless I know someone I trust is there taking care of you two."

"I am 23 Rouge! I am an adult, and I can take care of myself and Omega-" Shadow wanted to protest but he was immediately interrupted.

"Shadow ... last time I left you and Omega alone you lit up the apartment on fire," Rouge responded, she sounded a bit agitated as if she was running.

"There was a stupid fly who wouldn't stop bothering us!" Shadow said, losing the little self-control he had left. "Look, I am kicking her out tonight, I don't care if it's raining-"

"Shadow, you won't kick Amy Rose out of that apartment!" Rouge said and by her voice, Shadoe knew that she was actually very serious about this. "First of all, yes this may be your apartment as well. But when you bring your girl, you don't hear me complaining. Second of all, you own me A LOT, Shadow the Hedgehog. I have done so many things for you and although I am not one to expect anything back, I want to ask this favor of you ... let Amy stay, that's all I am asking."

Fine, Shadow had to admit that Rouge was right. The black one had recently taken interest in this girl who he had been bringing to the apartment from time to time. Even when she was a stranger, Rouge nor Omega never complained. Another thing was that he owned too many favors and apologies to the white bat. Like the time he had gotten in trouble for not finishing his report at G.U.N. and Rouge stayed all night with him to finish it. Or that time Rouge had to carry him from the bar to the apartment because he got too drunk. There were countless of times in which the white bat had helped in unconditionally, and he couldn't fail her this time when she was only asking a small favor of him.

To let Amy stay at their apartment for a month.

"Fine," Shadow whisper, he let out a big sigh, accepting his fate. "But if she ever touches my coffee or if enters my room ... I'll kick her out."

"I'll reinforce that next time I talk to her."

Although Shadow couldn't see her, he could bet all of his money that Rouge was smiling from cheek to cheek at the moment.

"Now, I have to go! I need to catch a plane! Give my greetings to Omega!" Rouge said. "Bye-bye, hug and kisses!"

And with that, the beautiful bat hung up.

To collect his thoughts, Shadow looked around the kitchen. For the most part, it was clean except that the coffee machine was moved out of it's an original place and that there was still some coffee left in the crystal mug. It was an all-white kitchen and if anything happened to it, he would know for sure that he would hear the last from Rouge.

Maybe having Amy would be good ... at least to keep the kitchen clean.

Shadow decided to go back to the living room to tell Amy that she could stay. However, he was very surprised to see that she wasn't alone. E123 Omega was sitting next to the pink one and they were comfortably chatting with each other about Chaos knows what.

"Oh, so you don't have any more bumps?" Amy asked as she looked over the metal robot. "Tails for sure does do a good job."

"Affirmative, however, the fox boy still needs to repair internal damage," said Omega.

"Internal damage?" Amy asked.

"Wires, software updates, arsenal-"

Shadow cared for the robot and if he dared say it, he considers him his closest friend. Omega's simplicity and honesty was something that Shadow always appreciated about him. It took him a while for both of them to open up to each other. It seemed like Omega and the pink furball clicked very fast ... and to be honest it kinda bothers him.

"I am I interrupting?" Shadow asked as he once again stood up in front of the pink one and the metal one.

"Not really," Amy said, still her eyes focused on the robot. An idea appeared in Amy's head as she remembered Rouge's word on the red notebook. "Actually, I was thinking we could watch a movie ... Terminator maybe?"

A silence filled the room, but fast enough, Omega responded.

"I'll make the popcorn," Omega said as he stood up from the sofa and disappeared into the kitchen.

Once again, Amy and Shadow were left in the room. The pink hedgehog was staring at Shadow for longer that she wanted to but she would be lying if she said that she didn't worry about him ... and the fact that he was still soaking wet and ruining the wooden floor.

"So um ... can I stay?" the words came out of her mouth. She was trying too hard maybe to look for validation and approval from the black hedgehog. Just like Shadow, Amy's motivation to stay was Rouge. One of her closest friends had asked her for a favor and she just couldn't fail her. The only thing between becoming victorious and not was Shadow the hedgehog, probably the strongest creature she has ever known.

Shadow felt guilty enough that the pink one was looking for validation from him. At the end of the day, he was no one to tell her what to do. If she wanted to stay, she may do so as long she follows the rules and respects his privacy.

"Yes, just don't enter my room," with that said, Shadow was ready to change into a new pair of clothes. His leather jacket was already bothering him as the friction from it pained his fur.

"Thank you!" said Amy, who was still seated on the sofa. "Also ... should take a shower right now."

"What?"

"I don't want you getting sick, get in the shower, now," said Amy as her voice changed, she meant business.

Alright, maybe Shadow was giving her too much credit before it was due.

"You don't tell me what to do," Shadow said. "I'll just change my clothes."

"Then you are not allowed to drink coffee for a week," Amy said again not bugging her. She sounded very serious and confident about herself. However, in the inside, she was just really scared that Shadow might kick her out. Omega didn't mind too much about her presence and he would do as she says but Shadow? This would be a challenge.

"It's my coffee, and you won't take it away from me."

"I'll hide it after you leave from work," Amy said. "Please Shadow don't make this difficult, I want you to take a shower so you don't get sick ... please."

Shadow was really trying to keep shi act together. He didn't want to be rude but she was making it difficult. "I am the Ultimate Life Form, I don't get sick."

"You got infected with the Zombot virus before right? Who are you to say that you won't get sick with a cold?"

Touché

The pink hedgehog has Shadow's slight interest now and although he wanted to keep complaining, his mind was empty. There was something however that could work and it was very true. However, he was too prideful to ever admit it.

Amy knew that there was something that Shadow was hiding from her. Amy had an idea of what could it be and it was worth a shot.

"And don't worry," Amy said. "We won't put the movie until you are out."

Watching Shadow's expression change from concern to relief was all that Amy needed to know that Shadow was just a misunderstood hedgehog. Amy smiled, reassuring him.

Shadow rolled his eyes, sighed and walked away into the apartment's hallway. He was actually looking forward to a warm shower. But before leaving, he whispered something under his breath, loud enough for only him and Amy to hear.

"Good."

A/N: I am a sucker for Amy, Shadow, Omega, and Rouge interactions. So, here is the first chapter of this series. I will write as more scenarios pop up in my head but I have already thought of some really cute scenarios. Also, I know I write a lot of romantic ShadAmy. However, I plan for this story to mostly showing their friendship and platonic love. Maybe ... MAYBE, later on, it will develop into romance but it all depends on how I develop their friendship at first. So for now if you want to see their relationship as platonic or not that's up to you. I am really excited to write Amy and Omega in extreme and funny situations and just explore how they will react to each other. Anyways, thanks again for reading!

Until next time.
