Adventures in the Cabin CHAPTER 9

"Ah!" Shadow wakes up to Rouge screaming after falling off the couch. "Shadow!"

"Mph, what?" Shadow asks groggily.

"What happened last night!? What did you do to me!?"

"Its more like what you did to me." Shadow tells Rouge the events of the night before.

"Really?" Rouge falls to her knees. "I'm so sorry Shadow, I didn't mean it! I've never been drunk before, Shadow I'm so, so sorry." Rouge starts crying.

"Rouge, don't cry, its ok." Shadow sits in front of her and puts his hand on her shoulder. "I know you didn't mean it. You would never act like that."

"But, Shadow," Rouge looks up. "I practically raped you…"

"No, Rouge, don't think of it like that." Shadow pulls Rouge into a hug.

"I feel so horrible."

"Rouge," Shadow holds Rouge out. "please, stop."

"I can't, Shadow, how would you feel if you totally embarrassed yourself like that in front of the person you…" Rouge stops.

"The person you what?" Shadow raises an eyebrow.

"Never mind… Just never let me drink alcohol again, ok?" Rouge laughs.

Shadow pulls Rouge in, and kisses her. "I don't know if I can promise." Shadow gives a half smile.

"Shadow," Rouge blushes. "thank you."

"For what?"

"For taking care of me, and for not taking advantage of the way I was acting last night." Rouge kisses Shadow.

"That would be impolite." Shadow laughs.

"Wow, Shadow," Rouge looks down and starts laughing. "I don't know what to say."

"How about I love you?" Shadow grabs Rouge's hands, and pulls her over him, lying against the couch.

"Ha-ha," Rouge giggles, and starts kissing Shadow. She pulls away for a second. "I love you, Shadow the Hedgehog."

Shadow pulls Rouge back in.

"Whoa!" Sonic's voice makes Rouge jump, and she scoots away from Shadow. "Aw, don't stop!" Sonic pushes Rouge toward Shadow.

"Sonic, really?" Rouge turns to glare at the blue hedgehog.

"I didn't mean to interrupt your make-out session," Sonic says laughing. "do you want me to get Silver out of the room, Shady?"

"Fuck off Sonic." Shadow glares.

"Well fuck you too Shadow!" Sonic says cheerfully. Rouge raises an eyebrow, Sonic skips away.

"The hell?" Rouge turns to look at Shadow.

Shadow shrugs. "Don't know."

"I should start breakfast." Rouge stands and walks to the kitchen.

"I'll help," Shadow heads for the fridge. "What should we make?"

"What there's no bacon left?" Rouge laughs and joins Shadow.

"Sadly no." Shadow grins.

"Here let's look in the cupboard." Rouge opens the wooden cupboard doors.

"Look, pancake mix." Shadow points to the blue box on the top shelf.

"Pancakes it is, then." Rouge flies up and grabs the box.

All of the sudden some pop song starts playing. "Thought you needed some tunes." Blaze says playfully. "Need any help?"

"No, you need help with your music choice." Shadow changes the radio station to rock music.

"Well ok then." Blaze smiles and starts with the pancakes. "I'll take care of breakfast."

"No its ok we got it." Rouge grabs for the pancake mix box, but Blaze moves her arm away.

"I planned this trip, so I'm going to care for the people on it." Blaze smiles.

"Come on at least let us help." Rouge looks around in the cabinets for a pan.

"No, really its ok."

"We're helping." Shadow pushes Blaze out of the way, and pours the mix into the pan.

"Shadow," Blaze reaches for the pan.

"Blaze, don't make it a big deal. Sit and relax." Shadow grabs Blaze by the arm and throws her into one of the chairs at the table. "Shit Blaze you need a break."

"Fine…"

"Blaze!" Silver calls as he enters the kitchen. He walks behind the chair, tilts Blaze's head up, and kisses her.

"See Silver? You got to kiss Blaze." Shadow says.

"What?" Silver thinks for a second. "Oh, yeah." Silver laughs.

"Wait what?" Blaze stands.

"Blaze its nothing." Shadow pushes Blaze by her forehead into the chair.

Silver lifts Blaze, sits on the chair and places her on his lap. "So Blaze isn't making breakfast this morning?" He asks Rouge.

"Nope." Rouge starts dancing to the song that plays on the radio.

"What song is this?" Shadow asks.

"Porn Star Dancin'." Rouge starts bouncing as she's cooking. "It's by My Darkest Days." She starts singing along to the song.

"Those are some dirty lyrics." Silver remarks. He pulls Blaze up, and they start dancing together.

"Dancing dirty huh?" Sonic asks, randomly appearing in the kitchen. "Hopefully Blaze keeps her clothes on." Sonic laughs, and Silver bops him in the head.

"Guys, stop." Shadow says as he sets the table.

"Dance with us!" Silver pushes Rouge into Shadow. "You know you want to."

"Um…" Rouge looks down, her body against Shadow's.

Blaze pulls away from her body-to-body dance with Silver. "Like this," She grabs Rouge's shoulders and turns her around, then pushes her against Shadow.

"Blaze what are you-"

"I'm not going to let this moment pass." Blaze puts her hand on Rouge's hip, and pushes her side to side.

"Blaze I don't dance." Shadow tries to move, but Silver holds him there. "Why are you guys doing this?"

"I'll leave," Sonic turns and leaves the kitchen.

"This is an important lesson." Silver grabs Shadow's hands, which were holding him up on the counter, and places them on Rouge's hips. He then starts pushing Shadow's body to move in motion with Rouge's.

"Guys,"

"Enjoy it while you can." Blaze moves away and smiles. Silver moves behind her and moves in motion with Shadow and Rouge. They start moving their hips in different ways, mocking the beat of the song. Rouge closes her eyes, places her hands on either side of Shadow's head, and does a body roll. Shadow reaches around and holds Rouge close to him, still moving their hips.

"Aw," Shadow and Rouge disregard Amy walking by and seeing them. It's like nothing in the world can touch them right now.

1, 2, 3, 4 Shadow silently counts beats in his head, until the song is over. They stop dancing, but neither of them pulls away, still locked in an awkward embrace. Rouge tilts her head up and kisses Shadow, and slowly turns around. Shadow wraps his arms around her waist, and they slowly slide against the counter to the ground.
