4:47 P.M.
Here we find Rouge the Bat relaxing in a lawn chair by her pool from her 24/7 job of baby-sitting idiots. She sighed out of comfort. "Ahhh… what a nice evening to relax…"
"ROUGE!!!" she heard a voice interrupt her.
She rolled her eyes. "Well, so much for that."
Shadow the Hedgehog, panicked looking, ran out of their back door and in front of Rouge. "W-why is th-that p-p-pink th-thing a-at ou-our front d-door?!" he stuttered while pointing back at their house.
Rouge pulled down her sunglasses to the bridge of her muzzle. "Huh?"
"You know, that girl that's obsessed with the faker. She's at the door asking for you. What was her name again…? Annie Tulip? Ally Carnation?" Shadow replied.
Rouge smiled with delight. "Amy Rose!"
"Yeah, that's it! Oh, and the purple cat is there at the door, too. Not the fat one, the skinny one. Fire? Flame?"
Rouge smile widened. "And Blaze, too! They must be here for the sleepover!"
Shadow's head cocked to the side a little. "Sleep… over? What's that?" he queried. Rouge's smile disappeared as she looked irritated.
"Do not annoy me with stupid questions, Shadow. But, I'll tell you if you go bring them here."
"Don't blink!" he shouted as ran back inside the house. Less than a second later, Rouge's two guests had arrived in front of their host, their fur looking quite flustered. Amy and Blaze quickly smoothed their bodies out to their normal looking states, however.
"What took you? I blinked once," Rouge remarked, still irritated.
"Well? What's a sleepover?" Shadow asked, completely ignoring the bat on the lawn chair.
Amy seemed surprised. "What? Have you lived in a cave for all your life?"
"If by 'cave', you mean moist and cold, then yes. My room practically IS moss," Shadow replied, seeming quite proud.
"That was a rhetorical question, and ew!" Blaze remarked. "Anyway, a sleepover is where one or many of your friends stay the night with you."
"Oh…" Shadow put his hand up to his chin and began to think for a moment. "But Rouge! It's your night to do the dishes!" he whined.
"So? I have guests. You have to do them." Rouge's smirk reappeared.
Shadow pondered for a longer moment. "So… if I got, oh, say, Sonic and Silver to stay the night… Would I have to do the dishes then?"
"Well, I guess not, but-"
"Be right back! Chaos Control!" Shadow shouted, holding his favorite green Chaos Emerald before Rouge could say no. A moment later, Shadow reappeared with Sonic and Silver the Hedgehogs at his side. "Rouge, can they spend the night? PLEASE! Please, please, please, please?!" he begged as Sonic and Silver wondered how they had gotten here with Shadow.
"I… guess so… but-!" Rouge started.
"Great thanks bye!" Shadow shouted as he and the other two hedgehogs ran inside their back door again. Blaze blinked hard.
"What just happened?" she pondered.
Amy sighed with delight. "Sonic's going to stay the night with us!"
Rouge got up out of her chair and stood up. "Shadow owes me big time…"
