It was raining as I was sitting on a bench next to an old run-down shop of
some kind. My black fur was getting wet, but I didn't care-nobody cared.
So, there I sat, watching people with umbrellas, running out of stores and
in to others. Nothing much was happening until an orange echidna ran up to
a bat and tried to steal her black leather purse. I took a closer look and
I saw it was Rouge the bat.
"Hey!" I yelled, going up to the echidna and pushing him away "You stay away from her!" I guess the guy got scared because he quickly left us alone.
"Shadow, thank you," Rouge said to me "I probably could have scared him off, but you just saved me time. One more thing, Shadow, how can you still be alive? I mean, Sonic told us you were dead, so we all assumed you were."
"At the very last moment, I was still in my super form, so I used the Chaos Control to warp myself back to Earth." I answered.
She stared at me with amazement "Wow, that's some quick thinking." She said and started walking "So, have you found any place to stay yet?"
"No, ever since that day Sonic and I saved the world from the space colony, I've just been hanging around different parts of the city, just trying to find anyplace to stay."
"Really? Well, if you want, you can stay at my apartment with my roommate, Ruby and me. You know, until you find a place." She offered.
"All right, " I said following her. It started to rain harder, so we began to run. Her apartment wasn't very far because we were there in only a few minutes. When we arrived and walked inside, I noticed the apartment was very small, or maybe it was all the boxes that made it look crowded. I saw a black female fox sitting at a table, inspecting some jewelry. I was guessing she was Rouge's roommate.
"Ruby," Rouge said and the fox turned around "I would like you to meet my friend, Shadow."
" Hello, Shadow." She said. " I was just looking at some jewels that Rouge and I collected on our last treasure hunt."
I turned to Rouge. "Treasure hunting? I thought you gave that up."
"I did for a while, but then I realized it was the only job I actually enjoyed doing." Rouge said. I was about to say something when the phone rang. Rouge answered it and then put her hand on the speaker.
"Shadow, it's Sonic. Should I tell him you here?" she asked.
"Go ahead, I don't care." I said. Really I didn't care. I didn't think Sonic would either. I heard Rouge say my name a few more times and then hung up.
"Sonic is going to be here soon." Rouge told me. "Aren't you excited to see him again?"
"Thrilled," I said sarcastically, turning around and then sitting on the couch, waiting for Sonic.
"Hey!" I yelled, going up to the echidna and pushing him away "You stay away from her!" I guess the guy got scared because he quickly left us alone.
