Chapter 1: You both lost!

Rouge was cleaning her bar from yet another, fight filled, drinking filled, dancing wild party from last night. Rouge was so tired she decided that is what she would do for the morning before going out. She was cleaning off the tables when Shadow came down.

"Well, morning sleepy head. How did you sleep last night?" Rouge said putting her hands on her hips and watching the crimson red hedgehog walk into the kitchen area for something to eat leaving Rouge without an answer to her question.

Rouge just went back to cleaning the tables while shaking her head. She knew how Shadow was and even tho he isn't the easiest person to deal with, she still cared for the crimson red hedgehog. Shadow came back out of the kitchen with a bowl of cereal and sat at the bar counter, which was the only thing Rouge decided to clean up the night before.

Rouge stared at him and began tapping her foot on the floor which Shadow knew she was staring at him but he only sighed and ate another spoon full of cereal as. Then he heard her slippers on their way right behind the counter and her body appearing right in front of him.

"I am going to try this again, Good morning." She said looking Shadow right in the face with a smile.

Shadow took in a deep breath, "Good morning..." He said to Rouge blankly.

Rouge only smirked at the hedgehog, "What are your plans for today, Shadz?" she asked him sitting on her elbows in front of him, smirking her best smirk.

"Why does it matter?" He asked beginning to drink the milk from the cereal.

"Well, Sonic and Tails planned some picnic and swimming at the lake, you know a little swimming and eating and EVERYONE is invited, everyone Shadow." She said putting her hands on her hips.

"No."

"Oh, come on Shadow, I'm not letting sit around and mope all day." Rouge said looking angry with him.

"Rouge…"

"I already brought you swimming trucks so you might as well start getting ready." Rouge said walking away satisfied that she won the argument. "Oh, matter-of-fact help me clean this mess you help make last night." Rouge said as she began wiping down the rest of the table and chairs.

Shadow grunted knowing he was not in the mood for this right now but he always let Rouge win the arguments, why you may ask? Well, he doesn't even really know himself. His excuses was Rouge likes to get the last word.

Shadow and Rouge had gotten done cleaning the club and Shadow was sitting and waiting for Rouge to come on, he didn't understand why it took her so long.

"I'm ready!" Rouge yelled coming down stairs in a Roxy Wild at Heart Monokini Swim Suit with white sandals, carrying a bag filled with a towel, sunscreen, wine coolers, and a camera. Then she pulled out another bag, and pulling out from the bag a pair of blue speedos.

"You, really think I'm wearing that." Shadow said with one eye brow up.

Rouge only giggled, "No, I was just joking." She said tossing the speedos in the trash and then taking out a pair of white swimming trucks.

"I don't like that color." He said glaring at her.

Rouge only rolled her eyes. "Shadow, we're not going through this." She said tossing the trucks onto Shadow's lap as she walked to the door. "Come on, Shadow..." She said waiting for him outside the door.

Shadow mumbled as he got into the car with Rouge. They arrived at the lake to find, Tails and Vector cooking on the grill, Sonic and Knuckles were lodging on the sand near the lake, Amy, Cream, Marine and Charmy were playing in the water, Silver, Espio, Blaze and Shade were playing volleyball, Vanilla was setting the table, Big was fishing, of course.

"Hey, Rouge and Shadow" Tails said noticing them first. "Thanks for coming."

"No, problem fox boy." Rouge said "I am going to join the volleyball match." Shadow made his way over to the sand just watching the water.

Rouge looked back at Shadow making sure he wasn't paying attention, as she made her way over to Sonic. "What's up Knuckie," she said sitting beside him.

Knuckles jumped not noticing she had arrived. "Rouge, don't do that!" He yelled blushing wildly making Rouge giggle.

"Calm down, Knucklehead." Rouge said looking to Sonic.

"Well, big blue no fighting Eggman today?" said smirking.

"What up Rouge." Sonic said still lying on his back with his eyes closed. "And nope just laid back for today."

"I have a favor to ask of you, big blue." Rouge said making her way over to him but not before she made sure Amy wasn't watching.

"What's up?" He said looking to Rouge with one eye.

"It's Shadow," She said looking to him and back to Sonic.

"What's wrong with him?" Sonic asked sitting up and looking over to him.

"What isn't wrong with him?" Knuckles said lying back down with his eyes closed and making Sonic and Rouge giggle.

"Anyways, I want you to race him, you know give him something to do." Rouge asked.

Sonic thought about it, he and Shadow hadn't raced in a little while, "Well, sure I guess." Sonic said getting up and running over to Shadow, who was drinking a soda.

"What's up, Shadz" Sonic said standing in front of Shadow.

"What is it, Sonic?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to race."

"Hmmm, I guess." He said smirking. "What's the catch?"

"Well, if I win you have to take Rouge out." Sonic said.

Shadow smirk got bigger, "And if I win then you will have to take Amy out." He said.

What made it bad is that Amy heard it. "What?" She yelled in glee getting everyone's attention.

"Hmmm," Rouge said smirking. Let's see about that one, she thought to herself. "Hey, Silver." She said looking to him.

Sonic wanted to back out right then and there, but he never backs down from a challenge, "Deal." he said

"Let's go!" Shadow said as they both speed off. "We'll go around Station Square, 1 time." Shadow said kicking up the speed.

Sonic only smirked, as they zipped past cars in the city. They did sharp turn at a busy crossway, zipping by vehicles and making people walking the side-walk feel the wind of their speed.

"Hey Shadow, let's go to the outskirts of the city seems like we're causing an uproar." Sonic said looking back at the cars that had turned sideways in the middle of the road; people were out of their cars shaking their fist at them.

Shadow only smirked as they made their way to the outskirts of the city, so they wouldn't cause any more of an uproar.

"Rouge, I don't know about this." Silver said looking to Rouge a little nervous they had first got ahead of Sonic and Shadow before they began the race, and were waiting for to them on top of a cliff in the path of the race.

"Come on Silver boy, just make the rocks fall in Shadow's path." She said leaning onto him. Silver only blushed as Rouge went to watch from the sky.

Shadow and Sonic were going to from first to second, back and forth. By the time they were getting to Silver's location Sonic was in the lead when Rouge ordered the screw up. Silver knocked down some rocks with his telekinesis which blocked that way making Shadow take another way, faster than Rouge would have thought he would.

Something wasn't right there. Shadow thought knowing something fishy was going on but in the end it didn't matter because it didn't take him long to catch back up with Sonic taking the lead this time.

"What happened, Shadz?" Sonic said smirking as he was now running backwards beside Shadow thru other side of Station Square causing more cars to make turns in the middle of the road.

"Leaving you in the dust." Shadow said speeding up, passing the buildings so fast they only seems like blurs to them.

"Here they come up." Tails aid as he and Knuckles held the finish line tape.

"Damn." Rouge said not knowing what else to do at the moment, you better win big blue. She thought as she and Silver hurried back to the others.

Shadow and Sonic were at it again, but they ran so fast that no one really saw who won but Omega.

Rouge looked at her other companion in relieve as she made her way over to him. "Omega, who won?" She asked him hoping that he could answer.

"Well..." Amy said hoping it was Shadow who won. "Who won?" she asked as everyone made their way to him.

"Sonic the Hedgehog." He answered as Amy ears dropped and Rouge secretly smiled.

"Well, Shadow looks like you taking Rouge out on a date." Sonic said patting Shadow's back which he was relieved that he didn't lose.

"And Shadow the Hedgehog." Omega said catching everyone off-guard.

"Wait, so it was tie." Tail said looking to an shocked Sonic and neutral Shadow.

"Meaning, neither one of you, won also meaning you both have to go on dates tonight." Charmy said boosting out laughing.

"Okay, wait a minute," Sonic said walking to walking up to Tails. "But how does the deal still stand if, it was a tie."

"Well, the pack was that if Shadow lost, Rouge was his date. If you lost, Amy was yours. But it was tie meaning you both lost, resulting in you both having to go out on dates." Tails explained making both Rouge and Amy happy but Amy showing that more than Rouge.

"Finally, we are going on an actually date." Amy said hugging Sonic which Sonic didn't even move.

Shadow only shook his head and took a seat at the table with the food. This is not what I wake up for this morning. He thought about bashing his head against the table he knew Rouge was not going to let this go.

"Well, everyone I hope you guys are hungry after that race," Vanilla said placing the last bit of food on the table.

"I sure am," Charmy said buzzing his way over there faster than anyone else.

"Come on, guys let's eat." Tails said as everyone made their way to the table. Amy of course sat beside Sonic with Tails on the opposite side, Cream, Blaze, Silver and Marine, Vanilla sat beside Vector, Espio and Charmy, Big, Shade and Knuckles then Shadow and Rouge, sitting in that order which made Shadow and Rouge sit in front of Sonic and Amy.

Everyone had gotten they plate of food, of course, Sonic had the whole thing of chili and almost got a whole pan of hot dogs since not many of the others wanted any.

"Sonic, you can't eat we're going out to dinner." Amy said taking the chili dog from Sonic hand as he just about to eat it and passing the chili and hotdogs back down the table.

"She is right, Sonic" Blaze said smiling.

"Yea mate, you don't wanna be full before you go on your date now, do ya?" Marine said making herself and everyone laugh with the exception of Shadow, of course.

"Where are you guys going on date, Sonic?" Vanilla asked kindly.

"We're going out to that nice Italian restaurant not too far from here." Amy answered.

"What about you guys, Rouge?" Amy asked

Rouge didn't know what to say, she hadn't thought about. "I don't know about going out to dinner probably just a little walk on beach I guess." Rouge said. "You know how mister grumpy is over here." she said in a low voice but everyone still heard it making them laugh. Shadow only rolled his eye, of course.

Everyone, except Shadow, Rouge, Amy and Sonic, ate the food then everyone did one good game of volleyball with the exception of Shadow sitting out and watching the others. The sun was finally beginning to rest from its long day. Everyone helped clean up before saying their "see you later" and left the park.

Rouge and Shadow was driving back to the club to get ready for their date which Shadow didn't understand why when they were going to the beach anyways or so Rouge said.

"Why are you going back to change, Rouge?" He said asked sitting with his eyes closed.

"Shadow, you already know how I am. Plus, I changed my mind we're going somewhere else." She said Shadow didn't respond as they pulled up to the club.

They walked inside to find the club the same way they left it, "A clean club is a happy club." Rouge said laughing as she made her way up stairs and Shadow took a sit at the bar.

"She is going to take forever." Shadow said to Omega, who walked from the back as soon as Shadow sat down, when he got there we won't know.

"Formative, no Eggman robots in sight. Maybe you should get ready too." Omega said, Shadow only smirked figuring that is what he was doing since no one saw him leave the park and as far as Shadow knew he was ready as he was going to be.

I couldn't choose if Sonic should win or Shadow so I choose for them to tie and both lose. I wonder what Rouge has planned?

Don't be shy tell me what you think?
