My Un-Sweet Passion... I mean, Coffee (Amy Rose and Shadow Only)

In a small town several miles away from the big city of
Mobotropolis, there was a quaint mom and pop's cafe called The
Magic Bean Cafe and in Amy Rose's opinion, it served the best
coffee, much better than the big name chain brands like
Starstruck, it had been her stop from her trip back from Tail's
place. it would still be some hours before she would be back
home, so a good cup of Jack's coffee was what she needed.
"One medium black coffee please. Oh and a bag of your choco dark
roast beans," she said
"Is that all for you dear?" the woman running the counter asked.
"Yes. Thank you," Amy said, paying for the food and once she
had her drink and bag of beans; she sat in a chair at a
two-seater table by the window, looking out at the small town
life and sighed at the happy couples her eyes kept getting drawn
to. She couldn't stop the thoughts of self-doubt and questions
of life's cruelties coming to her head. 'Why? Why am I not good
enough for him? After all this time, the fates have told me I
would be with him, I would be his.' she looked down at the
steaming black liquid in her mug. 'What happened? What does she
have that I lack? I thought I had grown, I thought I was more
mature like how he seemed to want. Why can't I be happy to?'
She let out a sigh and took a sip of the bitter drink and winced
at the flavor. Yes, it was a wonderful quality, but ever since
her impulsive diet from all processed sugar, she discovered that
she didn't like coffee without the usual creamer and chocolate
of a mocha. Still, she forced herself to take another drink; she
paid for it so she would drink it, she would just have to get
used to it.

The entrance door open, a ringless Shadow is on the hunt to find
a coffee shop that allowed him to purchase those tiny tasty
treats, the shops he normally visit in Mobotropolis either did
not have the option to buy coffee beans, or the people merely
dislike his presence, he didn't let this obstacle stop from
from getting what he desires, He stood in line waiting for other
customer's to secure their orders. While waiting. he didn't know
how to process reality without his inhibitor rings, his body
felt as if he underwent a metamorphosis.
Every muscle movement is a lot lighter, gravity almost felt
nonexistent, he wondered if he also gotten physically stronger,
faster even, he is scared to find out. Soon it's his turn to
order, he didt need to look at the menu' it is practically
useless for what he is about to say.
"I want a bag of coffee beans, the regular kind"
"Will that be all?" she looked at the black hedgehog with
indifference, to her he is a costumer like everyone else.
"Yes" Shadow replied.
"That will be $2.38"
Shadow handed her the right amount of cash, the woman reached in
the back to retrieve the coffee beans for him. the black
hedgehog parked at a table from the left side of Amy by the
window, no one else sat near the spiky shrew, he preferred
solitude. He causally tossed one bean at a time in his mouth, he
glanced up and spotted Amy across from him, he sensed she didn't
appear to be in a good mood. Did something happen? He resumed
eating his food, on occasion he would give her a side glance,
for the most part he masked a facade pretending he didn't notice
her. She is one of Sonic's friends after all, why would he care?
He reverted back to staring at his own table. Lingering thoughts
to check on Amy's well being did a very poor job of gong away.
[Amy helped me see a brighter future, I guess I'm in debt to
her] he continued to munch on the bitter tasting beans. stern
eyes locked on his table.

Amy lightly tapped her foot to the beat of the radio, playing
soft and smooth jazzy tunes, as her eyes fixated at a point to
stare at, she was like that for a few minutes then her sixth
sense told her that someone was watching her. She casually
glanced around the cafe and found the culprit. Well, the only
thing to do at a person staring is to wave, that or flip them
off. 'I wonder what brings him here?'
"Hello, Shadow. You here alone?" she gestured at the empty seat
across her table. "Care to join me?" Company would be nice, she
needed a person to talk to.

Amy's calling his name proved his tough guy mask didn't work,
how did she know he was watching? was he not subtle enough?
Being caught in the act prompted the hedgehog to move his gaze'
in parallel to her eyes, "....." Shadow stood up from his
table, putting the chair back in proper order, he took his bag
of coffee beans, pulled up the seat across from Amy and plumped
his butt on the seat.
"You looked...troubled" he spoke and not much more than that,
its strange from his point of view Amy not acting optimistic nor
spending time with her friends today. Its normal for Sonic's
brooding twin to embrace the fact he is alone, its unlike Amy to
be by herself.

Amy was surprised that he actually accepted her invitation. She
really had been expecting the dark male to refuse and leave, 'I
mean, that's the story of my life, right?' Amy shook her head at
the thought, 'I may have the right to host my own pity party of
one, but not when others are present. Ruins the concept of a
party of one.'
“You look... troubled.”
Eh?
'He... noticed that?' Amy looked at him in a bit of surprise
then glanced away in poorly concealed embarrassment. “Ah...
you... um... Troubled, you say?” She waved a dismissive hand.
“Don't worry, I'm fi-.... I mean, I'll... be... okay.” her voice
and tone became less optimistic and reassuring with each word
until she trailed off into silence. Her demeanor let go of the
'fine' facade as a depressed frown and dim eyes stared at her
coffee cup.
“I've just been going through some stuff recently.” She admitted
vaguely. 'Heartache, to name a few.'

Yup, something happened to her alright, Shadow stared at the
pink woman trying to process what caused her to be down in the
dumps, there is only one logical conclusion given what he knew
of Amy's character over the years. "Is it about Sonic?" it may
be rude to assume all of her problems are always about that
annoying hedgehog, he didn't care. He knew this girl is stuck in
an unhealthy cycle of chasing after someone who is far beyond
her reach.

There was a raw and painful tightening of her chest as her hands
gripped the mug so tight it would have been crushed if it hadn't
been made of high-quality ceramic. Her poker face was MIA at
that moment as the wound on her heart was still fresh and barely
scaring. Her eyes closed tightly. I will not cry. She thought to
herself as she pressed her lips tightly together. I won't do it.
Unable to form words, though they were probably no longer
needed, she nodded her head then after a moment of trying not to
lose control over herself she looked up at him. "I must seem
pathetic, right?" a humorless smile pulled over her trembling
lips. "I thought... it was fate, you know? That we were meant to
b-be together but... he... they didn't- he doesn't- I just don't
understand!" her voice c'racked and she put a hand over her
mouth. "I'm sorry. This is... highly inappropriate. You don't
want to hear this." How uncouth, behaving like this in public.

"Hmph, you are pathetic" he began harshly folding his arms, he
intends to overwhelm the pitiful hedgehog for her own good, a
stern glare will suffice. "You made a terrible mistake relying
on those foolish tarot cards, your obsession with Sonic affected
your ability to make your own choices." It didn't stop there,
this girl needed to hear the cold truth of how the real world
operates, believing in fairy tails will NEVER get you far in
life.
"You based your whole life around him, you forgot how to be your
own person, how to live, if you believe changing your appearance
to impress Sonic is a sign of maturity then you haven't grown at
all" Shadow isn't like most people to be gentle with words,
brutal honesty is the most effective weapon in his eyes, hurting
their feelings or not it wasn't his concern.
After a moment of silence Shadow sighed "Life is unfair, it
doesn't work the way you want it" he dropped the harsh tone and
spoke more somber. He had to learn it the hard way.

Shadow was not failing in overwhelming her. It hurt, it cut her
deeply. As the cold real truth sank in, Amy felt the tightness
in her chest loosen. Tears began to trickle down her cheeks as
she set her mug down and looked Shadow in the eye. She felt...
not angry. She couldn't exactly place it.
"I know full well that life isn't fair. I know plenty. My cards
are not to blame, it was my inexperience and blind admiration
that made me misinterpret them back then. And I do make choices
for myself! I chose my career and I chose where I would live. I
have been making the tough life decisions for myself for years!"
Her voice was becoming clearer and less shaky.
The part about her changing appearance to be more mature was a
part of her life she could never undo and had to carry that
weight for the rest of her life. Amy's voice dropped its volume
and she wiped her eyes with her hand.
"You're right though. I did make that mistake, and I cannot
change what I did." She paused. "I feel lost, empty; like my
chest has been ripped open, and... I don't know how to get
better." She truly felt helpless and in her nearsighted vision,
she couldn't see hope.

"You can start by letting go of your feelings for Sonic and move
on, get rid of any items based around your crush for Sonic, they
will hold you back" he instructed maintaining his arm fold
posture, he didn't know why he felt obligated to help this girl
he didn't have much of a connection, Still Its painful to see
Amy in a state like this, she deserves better. Shadow would
finish the last of his coffee beans and gaze upon the hedgehog
in distress once more.
"Focus on the life you claimed to have build for yourself,
minimize contact with Sonic if you have to" he further
suggested. If The ultimate lifeform discarded his valuable
limiter rings in order to improve himself and cut ties from his
past, then Amy can turn her life around for the better if she
puts her mind to it.
