There she was again.

With her stupid red dress, her stupid red bandana, her stupid boots, and her stupid flowers.

Alright, no the flowers.

So then, why was Shadow so excited to see her for?

"So, you finally decide to show up, 'Mr. I am too cool for a flower shop'?" Amy teased him a little. It hasn't been the first time they talked. Actually, to her understanding, she thinks Shadow considers her a close friend.

"Aren't you hungry?"

A few months had passed since Team Sonic was aware that Shadow was brought back from the dead. Well, he was never really dead in the first place. He had escaped from the secret place G.U.N. had put him in, everyone looked for him but it was no use.

He didn't want to be found until he met her.

"Stay away from me." Shadow had barely enough strength to utter words. He was the Ultimate Life Form and he couldn't die from starvation, but he could still feel his stomach begging for some source of food. It was like hell, he suffered without dying.

"That's not happening any time soon. Come with me, I'll give you a warm bed and food." Amy walked closer to the black hedgehog who was almost completely covered by snow.

"I'll just end up hurting you...I am a biological weapon...I will end you." Shadow could barely move or even recognize the pink figure in front of him. His senses were at its fullest potential, he felt the extreme coldness 10 times greater than the usual species. Everything was enhanced, and each drop of snowflakes against his fur was like a needle piercing through his skin.

But suddenly, he didn't feel anything anymore.

Nothing but warmness coming from the pink hedgehog in front of him, holding her pink umbrella on top of them both.

Green eyes and red eyes met for the first time in a while and since then, they couldn't look away from each other.

"Did you know that umbrellas were made so two people could fit in?... and I still have an empty spot to fill..."

Curse Amy Rose and this strange power she had over him. As Shadow stayed on Amy's house, they got to know each other better. Between conversations, Amy found that Shadow was actually pretty good at flowers arrangements. He also had a lot of knowledge about them and their meanings. After all, Maria had made it a priority for her that whenever they could, they studied all types of lifeforms on earth.

The flower arrangement came later on as a hobby for Shadow. The time he stayed to live with Amy, he saw her taking care of flowers and planting them.

Watching her been so careful, working so hard, and proud...that had awoken something on Shadow.

"I am just making you a favor, I have no need for this." Shadow talked smoothly as he approached Amy on her garden.

"Well then, good luck finding another job. I am sure G.U.N. will take you in anytime."

"You are lucky that I actually get hungry and I need money to pay for my expenses." Shadow bent down and took a moment to appreciate the flowers in front of him. He had to admit that Amy was a natural when it came to gardening, especially her flowers. They were probably the most beautiful roses he had ever seen, and its all thanks to her secret fertilizer, or how she likes to call it, 'Rose Fertilizer.'

"No, you are lucky that you are so good at flower arrangements. Ever since you began working at my flower shop, our sales had never been so good!"

She was right on that part. Before, Amy's business only focused on selling fertilizer (as well as all things about gardening) and flowers once in a while. While he stayed at Amy's place, he didn't want to feel like a burden to the pink hedgehog. Therefore, he dedicated all of his time to learn about flower arrangements so he could help grow her business.

and it did, Shadow was a natural for these things, just like Amy.

*Ring Ring*

"Oh, I'll answer!" Amy went running inside her flower shop to answer the phone. Yes, their garden was placed in the backyard of their flower shop. It was more efficient, and better this way. This way, they could always give fresh flowers to their customers.

Shadow walked through the garden, which was pretty big in size. He picked up some tulips, some roses, and orchids to work on his new flower arrangement.

He took a look at the rose in his hand. Soft and strong at the same time. He gave a quick look at Amy who was still talking on the phone. She was just like the roses, so beautiful.

Shadow thought that the roses could really match with her stupid red dress, her stupid red boots, and her stupid red bandana-

"Hey, Shadow! Stop looking at me like that!"

Shadow was then taken back to reality. He was so entranced in her that he had forgotten that this wasn't a dream.

"Um, I apologize..." Shadow said, trying to get back his cool.

"It's alright, anyway, we have a big order of flower arrangements for a wedding! I should start planting them soon...Ah, planting flowers for a wedding only makes me wonder if I would be the one planting roses for my own wedding" Amy daydreamed again, this was a usual sight for Shadow, Whenever they had a big order for a wedding, Amy would always get like this.

"You would be there with me, right Shadow?" Amy smiled at him and Shadow could feel his cheeks getting hotter. What did she mean by that?

"What?"

"You will be there with me making the flower arrangements for when Sonic and I get married!"

Tsk, what a way to ruin the mood. Shadow could be used to Amy daydreaming, but he always found it annoying that Amy had to fantasize with the blue one.

"You might want to start looking somewhere else."

"Ah, come on Shadow, it wouldn't be the same without you!"

Shadow felt the pink one grab his arm. He turned around to look at her in the eyes. Those stupid green eyes of hers that made him feel something weird inside of him.

He hated not knowing what it was. He blamed it all on her, her red dress, her red bandana, her red boots...her. Just everything about her made him crazy and he didn't know why.

Curse her.

"Fine"

He turned around as he tried to hide his thoughts from her. He kept walking around the garden looking for the most beautiful flowers.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Amy walked towards Shadow once again, but this time he holding a particular set of flowers.

"Here are some Yellow Acacias, I planted them on my free time. I just thought on give some to you." Shadow looked at the plain bouquet of yellow flowers. A brown rubber band holding them together, from all sizes, it was obvious that they were recently cut.

"You already gave me too many flowers last week...I don't need anymore...why don't you give them to Sonic instead?" With that, Shadow walked away from the pink one, not really noticing her reaction.

"Yeah...you are right" Amy's disappointed face wasn't visible to anyone but her. Shadow was too into his job at the moment that he really didn't pay attention to the effect his response had on the pink one.

Shadow then heard Amy's footsteps going towards the flower shop. "Where are you going?" Shadow inquired as he saw Amy leaving the garden.

"I am going to do what you told me to...I am going to give these flowers to Sonic and may even ask him on a date!" Amy didn't bother to look at Shadow on the eyes, instead, her back was facing him.

"Fine then! I'll just stay here and do all the work by myself!" Shadow sounded annoyed, more at the fact that Amy was leaving him to go to Sonic.

"I thought you were the Ultimate Life Form and didn't need help from nobody!" This time Amy had turned around to face him, obviously angry at him.

"You are right, I don't need anyone...I don't need you! Not now, not ever!"

"Goodbye then!"

"Yes, goodbye!"

And with that, Amy left Shadow alone on their garden.

Stupid Amy, going after someone like Sonic. Her and her stupid red dress, her stupid boots and bandana...stupid, stupid, stupid.

The only thing that connected Shadow with her more than anything was their strong interest in flowers and now she was going to give that Sonic.

All those 'Forget-Me-Nots', 'Angelicas', 'Asters', 'Yellow Acacias' and 'Red Carnations' she had given him...for what? So she could leave him the second Sonic came into the picture? In all the things in the world she could give him, she decided to give Sonic flowers. Something that was special between Shadow and her. Or at least that's what he thought. He felt betrayed, Amy was really going to go to Sonic and show her love towards him with flowers-

Wait a second...

"Forget-Me-Nots? Acacias? Red Carnations?" Shadow gave it a thought for a few seconds. Suddenly, he dropped the flowers he was holding and picked up a different one as he dashed through the exit. He stopped mid-track however, as he realized that he couldn' just leave the flower shop open. He locked the doors first and took an umbrella with him as it seemed like it was going to rain any time soon. Now, he began to run...

Stupid Shadow. With his stupid golden rings and his stupid rocket shoes.

How was he so stupid? All of those flowers had a different meaning but they all shared one similarity.

Love.

From what Shadow can remember, Amy started giving Shadow flowers a few months ago.

Shadow couldn't believe that someone like Amy had this type of feelings for him.

He still was naive when it came down to these things. He didn't know anything about love except the things he read on novels.

Were her feelings genuine? What was this state of bliss? This...soft feeling?

Shadow found Amy hiding from the rain under a tree. Still holding the bouquet of yellow acacias on her hands. Shadow walked towards her and took a seat next to her. She didn't mind his presence. There was no escaping him anyways under this rain.

Shadow was horrible at this. He didn't know what to say, nor how to express himself. He couldn't just go like "Hey, I think you are trying to tell me you love me." It was just a theory he had on his head. If he were to say it and was wrong; then their situation would be...very awkward. Especially since he didn't know if he felt the same way towards Amy.

He just didn't want to ruin the friendship he had with Amy over a stupid assumption of his.

He didn't want to talk about, not unless he was 100% sure.

But he just couldn't stay and do nothing. Amy was always the one putting on the effort to make their friendship work...now it was his turn.

Shadow didn't look at Amy on the eyes, but he made sure to place a 'Yellow Rose' in front of Amy. The yellow rose symbolized friendship and forgiveness and right now it was what Amy needed. What both needed.

Shadow was the Ultimate Life Form, but even he was so naive when it came to relationships. He didn't know anything about the warm feeling he had every time he was with Amy.

But he was willing to learn, if it was for her, then everything was worth it.

She is worth it.

As soon as Amy grabbed the yellow rose from Shadow's hand, he stood up and opened up the red umbrella; Shadow placed it above them and with a soft smile he said:

"Did you know that umbrellas were made so two people could fit in?... and I still have an empty spot to fill..."
