It was stupid. Valerie BlackRose (an Cold, Emotionless Vampire, w/ frozen heart, and strong body, n. Her Cheerful, Wolf. Rival: Ayane Rose, nickname: Ayane,) expected it, She really did, yet you couldn’t help to let the tears fall. “Fuck it!!” She cursed under her breath, as She tried to wipe them away. It was embarrassing, crying over something so stupid and expected. However, it was no use as the rain made it hard to keep the wetness off of her face.

Her clothes stuck to her body uncomfortably, and She really didn’t care to wait under something till the rain stopped. It was late, Valerie were tired, angry, and embarrassed, it’d be worse if She'd waited somewhere where people could easily see her pitiful state.

So, instead, She decided to just walk home. That is, until She look up to find Shadow T Hedgehog standing there. He looked…surprised to say the least when he noticed her, and She felt even more embarrassed by the way She looked. Makeup running, eyes puffy and red, and her clothes clinging to her.

She don’t know Shadow well enough to call him a friend. Despite Sonic always saying good things about him, even though they are rivals, and haven fought against enemies beside him..... She still hardly spoke to him. Amy would often try to invite him to get Together, but he never would attend. It seems She only see him during battle.

As She turn away to hide under a rock and die down, the sound of her name being called gruffly catches her attention. “What are you doing out here? In the rain.” His tone sounded more scolding than anything, as if he was annoyed doing this, but he continued anyway. She didn’t respond, trying to think of what to say to him. Instead, he doesn’t give her a chance as he scoffs, disappearing for a moment by using chaos control, and within seconds he’s back. This time, with a jacket. He doesn’t say a word as he wraps the jacket around her shoulders, making sure it was on enough to where it wouldn’t fall.
