Shadow came out of the bathroom. Rouge was just walking by in the hallway when she noticed shadow didn't towel dry his quills. They were dripping wet. She gave him a look. "Come on Shadow." She took the towel he was holding. "Turn around." She said. "Ugh, Rouge its fine." Shadow protested. "Not unless you wanna get sick from being outside where it's cold. Now turn." Said Rouge. Shadow obeyed. He understood she was doing it for his own good but he just saw it as unnecessary. Rouge dried Shadow's quills with the towel. "There ya go." She said playfully, handing back the towel. "Now you're good to go." Shadow smiled as he looked down at her. He was taller than her, but only by a few inches.
Rouge was sitting at her vanity doing her makeup. Before doing that, she was picking out clothes she wanted to wear. She chose a black, sleeveless and backless mini dress. It hugged her curves perfectly as it fell loose down from her waist to her knees. Shadow knocked at her door. "Come in." Rouge yelled. Shadow came in. He was already wearing his usual attire- the gloves and the air shoes. Rouge saw him in the reflection of the vanity's mirror. "Mmhm?" She hummed as she did her eyeliner. "We've got a problem." Said Shadow. He stepped into her large room and sat at the edge of her bed. "What is it?" Rouge asked, after she was done lining her first eye. "There's a pretty good chance we won't be able to fit anything in either of our cars." He said. Rouge stopped in the middle of lining her second eye. She looked at herself in the mirror, and then down. She looked at Shadow in the reflection of the mirror. "You're right." She said, sounding like she was in disbelief. Shadow looked at her reflection looking at him. "What should we do?" He asked. Rouge thought for a moment. "I'm not sure." She finally said. "We could probably rent an SUV." Said Shadow. Rouge turned to face him. She looked at his shoes. She thought for another minute while Shadow looked at her. "I think it'll work. Can you see if there are any places we could go to that aren't far?" She said, her eyes meeting his. "Yeah." He said while getting up.
Before Shadow left the room, he asked "Any specific car you have in mind? Rover, BMW..?" He asked, a playful smile was growing on his face as he looked at Rouge. "Yes, i do. Make sure it has a galaxy design all over it and its windows are holographic." She said confidently as she smiled at him. "I'll write that in the specific directions box then." He said, smiling.
He started leaving the room. "Don't actually do that you doofus!" Rouge yelled playfully at him as he was exiting her room. She threw a makeup brush at him, hitting his shoulder. Shadow slowly turned around and gave her a shocked look. Rouge put her knees up to her chest and shielded her face with her hands. She started to giggle as she heard him coming closer to her. She felt him grab her arms gently. He stood her up from the seat. He took her hands away from her face. He looked at her with a serious face. "You will regret doing that." He said. Shadow gently pushed Rouge on her bed and started to tickle her. She started to laugh and tried to get him away. Rouge was trying her best to cover herself from Shadow. He finally Stopped. Rouge peeked at him through her fingers and smiled.
She was curled up in a ball from the tickle fight. Shadow gently pulled her to sit up at the edge of the bed. Rouge looked at him and couldn't help but smile really big. He smiled back. 'He looks so cute when he smiles.' Rouge thought. "Never throw makeup brushes at me again." Said Shadow, still smiling. He got up and walked to the door. He turned his head toward Rouge, still sitting on the bed. He had a straight face, but that all changed when he stuck his tongue out at her. Rouge giggled. As Shadow left her room, Rouge sighed dreamily and thought 'That's the guy I'm gonna marry.'
