BEEP! BEEP!
Rouge awoke to the sound of the alarm. At first she jumped up and gasped, then rubbed her eyes and noticed it was the clock. She chuckled at her own fearfulness, and headed to the shower. Since she was already naked, she easily stepped into the shower.
Rouge stood there, wondering about her plan. Would it really work? Shadow was as stubborn as a mule, and as dull as the end of an old machete. Pearl was Shadow's opposite. She was ready to get married, but she could not find anyone that matched her. Hell, she couldn't even find someone on eHarmony! Rouge stood there wondering until the water got cold.
She dried her ears and hair, and then wrapped the towel around her. When she stepped into the bedroom, she saw her fiance, wide-eyed and awake.
"Good morning sleepyhead," Rouge said, noticing that his dreadlocks were a little mussed (wonder what for......), "How did you sleep?"
Knuckles yawned. "Pretty good," he said, then he smiled and added, "especially since it was with you."
Rouge chuckled. "Yep, you're still that dirty boy I love."
She looked at the clock and stared at it.
10:30 am. 10:30?! Oh my God, they'll be here in an hour! she thought.
"Knuckles," Rouge said, "quick, phone up Sonic and the crew, I have some cleaning.........." She looked at her only coverage; a towel. "And changing to do." she added.
As Knuckles phoned everyone, Rouge could be heard rustling around in her clothes, looking for something nice to wear. She found her Sonic Heroes outfit and put it on.
Knuckles stopped to dial another number, but instead ended up scanning Rouge's body.
"Hey, Knucklehead!" she scolded him, "Eyes on the caller ID please."
*****
After everything was spick and span, and everyone was called, all they could do was wait. One by one, the Sonic crew started arriving. Then everyone, even the deadbeat Shadow, was talking, awaiting the arrival of the couple's parents.
At about 11:30, the doorbell rang.
A silence fell over the excited crew, except Shadow, who was already silent (Duh!).
Rouge walked to the door and slowly opened it.
As the door opened, a figure of a snow white bat started to show. She was jittery and overexcited.
"Mom!" Rouge called, hugging her. "I'm so happy to see you!"
"I'm happy to see you too honey." She replied.
Rouge remembered her manners and suddenly turned around to Knuckles and said, "Oh, Knuckles, this is my mother,
Angel."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am." Knuckles replied, shaking her hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too," Angel said. She looked at Rouge, then back at Knuckles. "He's a handsome young man, Rouge." she said. Knuckles blushed.
Rouge looked around for someone. "Where's Pearl?" She asked. She thought her sister would arrive with her mother.
She looked out the door and was puzzled. Just then, a black bat's head shown from the top of the door facing, and screamed. Rouge flew backwards and landed on the floor. The bat started laughing and came down from the facing.
"That gets you every time, sis!" she laughed.
Rouge crossed her arms. "Pearl, you jokester you!"
Pearl noticed Knuckles and asked Rouge if she was going to introduce her.
"Oh, yes. This is my fiance, Knuckles."
Knuckles shook Pearl's hand. "Hi, you must be Pearl."
"Yes," she said.
Shadow looked up at the twins and gasped. Rouge had been right. Pearl was the most beautiful thing he'd seen. Her black fur glistened in the sunlight. Her navy blue eye shadow made her eyes shine, and her red lipstick sparkled. She was another Rouge. Not just a simple bat.
Pearl noticed and waved shyly, which was answered by a shyer wave from Shadow. He started blushing.
Sonic made a joke about it. "I like it Shadow, that red really suits you."
Everyone started laughing, but Shadow, now enraged, walked around the corner and started slapping his face.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" he cursed. "C'mon, Shadow, pull yourself together! Love can not be the enemy!"
Pearl walked around the corner and looked at Shadow. "Hi," she said.
Shadow blushed a little bit.
Pearl looked into his eyes and giggled. "Look," she said, "my sister's renting us our own houses."
She took a piece of paper from her pocket and wrote something down on it. She handed it to him and smiled.
"Come by this address tonight," she said, "then we'll get to know each other a little better." She winked and walked off.
Sonic came around the corner and laughed. "Oooh.... looks like someone's getting lucky."
Sonic walked off and Shadow looked at his gun.
"One of these days, hedgehog"
That chapter was funny. I'll have another chapter as soon as I get done Christmas shopping.
