AN: Well here goes a story I just came up with, due to a very busy school year, I may not update often...
Morning
Shadow The Hedgehog was sleeping in the room he and his partner Rouge shared at G.U.N. HQ. It wasn't anything to talk about, just a bunk bed, a small television, and a dresser they shared. The walls were a dreadful beige color, and they were covered up with papers and pictures and other clues they needed for cases. Other than that the room was blank and bare as the duo were often out on missions, so there was no need to decorate. A large window on the west wall was covered up with pure white curtains, but that did not prevent sunlight from leaking through and waking Rouge up today.
Realizing that her partner was still sleeping, a mischievous grin slowly spread across her face. She quickly climbed down the ladder of her bed, past the empty middle bunk, and to the ground where Shadow slept on the lowermost bunk. She then squat so she was more level with Shadow's face. Shaking Shadow with both arms repeatedly, she whisper-shouted: "Shadow! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! HURRY THERE'S AN EMERGENCY!" She was also trying to hide her large grin as she held back several giggles.
Shadow opened one eye and saw his partner who was laughing so much while doing this and let out nothing more than a "Hmph." He wanted to sleep in as much as possible before the mission they had to leave for in the afternoon and would not let the ivory bat have her way.
Too bad that she continued to try to wake up Shadow even more, causing him to roll over and cover his ears with his pillow. He recalled Rouge saying that she wanted to go for some breakfast at a ritzy cafe, he could remember how she had heard so much about their coffee and their pastries. He also knew that this mission would keep them away for two days at least.
Maybe it was really the mission he was dreading. Not waking up and having to go eat lunch with his companion. A week ago, the G.U.N. Commander had called them over, stating that they'd 'lost' some important files and that the only place they were backed up at was Shadow's old home itself. He didn't really want to go, but he knew that place like the back of his hand and thus he along with Rouge were tasked with investigating the old space station. He had stopped grieving over the lost of his best friend Maria, and while it was fifty years ago, he had only spent two real years awake after being stored in a stasis of sorts. The wound on his heart was healed somewhat, and he'd no longer mope around or the like - but the scar was still there.
Shadow glanced at Rouge for a second, then said: "Fine Rouge, let me go take a bath first." The hedgehog stretched out both arms and let out a hearty yawn. "Go get ready and stuff so we can get to that restaurant. We're not going to wait on a line like last time."
"Yeah, we wouldn't want you to curse a waiter out again." Rouge said snarkily as she regained her stoic, coquette-ish demeanor.
Shadow rolled his eyes at that comment as he tidied up his bunk. Those same irises wandered up to the middle bunk, empty and neat. It was lonely and he secretly wished there was a third member to fill that bunk up.
A/N: Well there goes the first chapter!
