That Damn Doppelganger

Chapter 4

Memories of a reunión

Amy remembers very well the day she met Shadow, she was in prison island when she mistook him for Sonic and gave him a hug, thinking that he didn't push her, he just stayed there accepting the hug, then in the ark where her words made him change his mind of ​​destroying the earth, in the castle where she asked him to find Cream although thinking that he did not have to help her, he still did it, after that they rarely saw each other, but after a small meeting they became very good friends, that was when Amy started working as a pastry chef's apprentice.

Shadow was passing by the store where Amy was training, and on her way out she saw Shadow sitting at one of the tables. Shadow looked calm sitting down, it seemed that he had finished with his dessert and was ready to go.

-Hey Shadow, what a pleasure to see you again! - (it seems that he hasn't changed much since we met, just that he seems taller and beefier in a certain way, dressed in a black leather jacket with embroidered letters with the initials of G.U.N on one of the shoulders and on the other a somewhat strange symbol of red color, time only made him look much more handsome I guess now that I think about it, although he has always been one of those qualities, but I had never really focused on that.)-thought Amy.

-AMY!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? - Shadow asked surprised. He didn't know that he would see her again, well, he was caught off guard by meeting her and more like she looked, she was as beautiful in a red dress as the one before, only a little longer than usual, her hair was the same, there was no Her way of dressing changed a lot just because of the purple sweatshirt she was wearing with cherry blossoms embroidered on the back, but her body was something else, she had matured a little more exposing the curves of her body that he couldn't help not noticing.

-Well, it happens that here I am starting to work, what brings you here?

-Well, it happens that this is where I regularly come to buy and sometimes I stay to eat a dessert. -said Shadow in a slightly annoyed tone because of the obviousness of his presence there.

-Wow what things! Now that I'm starting to work here where I hardly know you're a regular customer what a thrill! And I didn't know you eat desserts.

-There are things about me that you don't know, miss.

She couldn't help but not only greet him and leave, she stayed with him to talk because she hadn't seen him for a while, she was already in her twenties like Shadow. Although she did not know Shadow very well, she was always curious to get to know him better with the hectic battles, she could not talk much with him, but since Eggman retired it was a time of peace where there was more time to meet new people and what better than Starting with Shadow, she couldn't deny that she always had a great desire to be his friend.

Shadow didn't like to talk much, but little by little he opened up to Amy, he had developed a soft side for her, although he didn't treat her much but that didn't mean he didn't stop liking her in some mysterious way.

It seemed that in all the conversation he had not paid her the slightest attention, but she could notice that his ears moved towards her direction every time she spoke. She knew he was paying attention, even if he didn't show it.

She spent her time talking about her day-to-day life, about how after Eggman retired and everything was more peaceful, she focused more on herself and started working as an apprentice in that same pastry shop where they were so she could be one of the best pastry chefs.

Suddenly Shadow spoke asking a question that surprised Amy a bit.

-I guess you're with Sonic. - He said it with a face that showed no emotion.

-THAT!? OH NO, NO, NO Shadow my world does not revolve around him, long ago I accepted that he will never return the same affection as me, without adding that it was a teenage love, you know with over time cools so I moved on, but he's still one of my best friends and I'll always love him, but not in a romantic way anymore... I guess heh heh. - Amy laughed a little nervously, she didn't know why she had explained all that to him, wanting to convince Shadow that she no longer felt the same way about the blue hedgehog, it's not as if she was romantically interested in him, she wanted to believe in that, but very inside she knew that she was always attracted in a certain way to the mysterious black hedgehog, only that a certain blue hedgehog occupied most of his thoughts that she did not allow herself to see that she had more options.
