CHAPTER 2: MY HAPPY ENDING-- SUNG BY ROUGE THE BAT
A snow white bat walked down the empty hallway. Dressed in a twinkling purple tang-top showing her firm, tan stomach with black shorts, showing her perfect legs with matching white, and yet sexy gloves and boots. Her make-up showed her wearing hot pink eye shadow along with glossy lip-gloss.
The bat seemed to be panting slightly, like she just came from a wild performance. She continued to walk down the hall until she heard a voice in the distance.
"Miss Rouge!" a young lady called.
The white bat turned to see an orange, female echidna with light aqua blue eyes. "Oh, Tikal. There you are. I was looking for you." she said.
"I congratulate you on your first single performance." Tikal complimented.
"Yeah yeah, Anyway, what about the crowd?"
"The crowd? Oh about fifty-two thousand people were there. And thirty five million copies of your CD was sold this last two weeks." Tikal informed, looking at her clip-board.
Rouge nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Now, if anyone needs me, I'll be in my trailer." she turned and walked away.
Tikal bowed done to show her curtsy. As soon as Rouge was out of sight, Tikal's face turned joyful, into sadness. She flipped the page on her clip-board. It showed a picture of a handsome red echidna with dark, purple eyes.
'Knuckles...' she thought. 'Why must she be the love of your life... instead of me?'

Rouge, after an hour of trying to avoid the two dozen reporters who were desperate to learn more about her, finally reached her private area. She quickly entered, quietly closing the door behind her and locking it, making sure nobody could enter.
She sighed in exhaustion, heading over to her bathroom, washing her beautiful face. Her make-up easily can remove with her make-up remover, with now no make-up at all.
'Ah... That feels better. She thought, drying her face.'
She then stripped out of her performing suit, turning on the knob of the shower to steaming hot. She quickly got in, feeling the hot raindrops of the shower, with her liking the smooth rhythm that went on with it. It reminded her of the song she wrote and sang herself called "My Happy Ending". She began to sing the tune to it:
Oh… oh…
So much for my Happy Ending
Oh… oh…
So much for my Happy Ending
Oh… oh… oh…
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hangen' in a city so dead
Held up so high on such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be…
He were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, suppose to be
But we lost it
Out of a memory so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my Happy Ending
Oh… oh…
So much for my Happy Ending
Oh… oh…
You got your dumb friends
And know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be…
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, suppose to be
But we lost it
Out of a memory so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my Happy Ending
Shadow continued to listen to the song on the CD he just stole from the music store when the chameleon went to his boss's office. He was in his small trailer, listening to the CD he stole since he didn't have anything better to do.
When focusing on her singing voice, he could sense that the singer who sung this really meant what she was saying.
'Hm, she's good, I'll give her that.' He admitted, looking at the cover of the CD, seeing the face of the singer who was singing the song he was listening to. 'It seems like the music is just following her voice.'
He then listened to the third verse.
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
He was everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be suppose to me
But we lost it
Out of a memory so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my Happy Ending
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, suppose to be
But we lost it
Out of a memory so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my Happy Ending
Oh… oh…
So much for my Happy Ending
Oh… oh…
So much for my Happy Ending
Oh… oh…
Oh… oh…
Rouge finished her song, already done with her shower, but she continued to re-soap her silky fur. She remembered the day she wrote that song. It only took her minutes to write it since she was writing down how she really felt.
Hurt.
Weak.
Miserable.
Alone.
But why did she feel all those negative feelings?
FLASHBACK
After returning from another long trip from one of her movie films, Rouge left the airport in a hurry. She had returned earlier than she thought, and she was hoping to see a certain echidna back at his place for some free time. She showed a bright, energetic face while she flew towards his setting, excited to see him after being alone for a few months.
Landing on the floating "Angel Island"; his homeland, Rouge ran through the pathways and stopped as she saw his home when he was off business or on vacation.
"Knuckles!" she called, catching her breath as she ran further towards the tall temple that he usually hung around at.
When she could make out the burning red echidna, she squinted her eyes, thinking that she saw someone else with him: A female!?
Not trying to jump towards conclusions, Rouge stood her distance and silently watched the two to see what was really going on in Knuckles time when she wasn't around. Her eyes widened at the sight after moments of waiting. Her lover, Knuckles… had kissed the female, straight to the lips. Right in front of her!
Standing her ground, Rouge held firm and blinked back weak tears. She was a headstrong woman.
She knew that the situation would only end up worse if she went to him right now with the pink female echidna there, so she turned her back, and walked away.
After sitting in silence in her home, having flashbacks and rethinking of the scene she had witnessed with her boyfriend's affair with another woman, Rouge only replayed the messages on her personal answering machine.
They were all from Knuckles.
-BEEP-
"Hey honey, guess who? Well, I'm starting to miss you. When will you be back? I'm getting anxious just to see you again."
'Yeah right.' Rouge thought, glaring at the machine.
-BEEP-
"Knuckles again. You haven't replied to any of my messages. What's up?"
'I don't bring my home phone with me you idiot!' Rouge snapped.
-BEEP-
"Rouge, darling, my sweetheart, I don't know what's going on about you, but I'm really worried. I could try your cell, but I bet you delete all my messages since you turn it off and get have thousands of texts everyday."
Rouge couldn't take much more. She slammed her fist on the machine, forcing it off, and cursed at her lover for being too desperate, too stupid, too… betraying.
-Ring-Ring-Ring-
Her phone rang for the first time. She already knew who it was and why he was calling. She snatched the receiver from its cradle and punched the talk button.
"Hello." she greeted darkly.
"Rouge, is that you?" a familiar male voice responded on the other line.
It was Knuckles alright.
"I've missed you so much baby. When can I come over so we can catch up on the old times, if you know what I mean?" she knew that he was smirking.
"Go to hell." she barked, holding her ground, but gripping the receiver tighter.
"…" there was a pause on both lines.
"Are you okay hon?" Knuckles asked, concern. "I bet you had a long travel back huh?"
"Screw yourself you two timer!" Rouge was now leaking her rage on the phone to him.
"Wait, what!?"
"I know what you were doing all this time I was gone! You enjoy having other girls to toy with and take my place do you! Well, fuck you and your bitches! It's over!" and she threw the phone down with a bang.
She unplugged the phone wire and silenced her phone so she could block herself away from the one man she had given her heart to.
Tears silently strolled down her cheeks as she walked out of her home, and into the city to get her mind away from it all.
When she reached the entry gate, it was packed with fans and reporters who couldn't leave her be, and she smiled, wiping away her tears. Her followers and interviews kept her mind off things, and right now, she really wanted her mind of the one person she still secretly adored: Knuckles the Echidna.
But she still felt that strong tug of pain reach out to her, coming in deeper in her heart. And it was giving her the dark gifts of broken emotion.
Hurt.
Weak.
Miserable.
Alone...
END OF FLASHBACK
That day, was now a memory, though it was still the worst experience she had, and the worst day as well. Just by thinking of her ex-boyfriend, and the time seeing him kissing another woman, brought Rouge to tears.
With her no longer, enjoying her shower.

Hiya, and sorry for the major changes on the song and Flashback. I wasn't satisfied with the originals so I redid it.
