Now Rouge and Shadow are married. They have two children—a black and red bat daughter and a white hedgehog son—their names being Jewel and Spike. Rouge is still a painter, and even sells some of her children's finger-paint art. Shadow is an agent for the president, and brings souvenirs (like gems and game controllers) home for his kids.
Jewel is 6 years old in kindergarten, and Spike is 8 in second grade. They play well together and are very intelligent. Jewel is very fond of gems and often plays dress-up with her mother's jewels. Spike likes video games, and can even beat his father at Shadow the Hedgehog (game).
Rouge no longer think about Knuckles, and lives happily with her husband in their new home in Los Angeles, California. Cameron Charles is in jail, and will be sent to the electric chair soon. His wife, Marta, has divorced him and lives with her new boyfriend in Maine. Knuckles has been lethally injected and is gone now.
Every weekend Sonic, Cream, and Tails come over to Rouge's house and play games and watch movies. They eat lunch and dinner together while telling stories. Jewel and Spike have been bonded with Rouge's friends and look forward to their visits. They also go on vacations together almost every summer. Washington, Florida, Texas, they've been to them all. This vacation they plan to go to New York and see the Statue of Liberty; although they have to work hard to make the money needed to go on their trips, it is always worth it.
Rouge and Shadow are very happy together and don't ever mention Knuckles or Amy. They do whatever they can to avoid the pain of memories. They've never once mentioned them to their two children, fearing that the stories would lead to more pain.
Amy was cremated; Rouge had the honor of dumping her ashes into the ocean. Rouge vowed to never forget Amy and the times they had together. And to ensure that she never forgot, Rouge made a video slide-show about their friendship using the many pictures that were taken of them. It kept Rouge believing that they would always be the best of friends, even if Amy was gone.
And as time goes by, their children will grow up and move out to fulfill their own dreams. And even when Rouge and Shadow are old, Rouge will never forget the wonderful—and horrible—times that led to all of the good things that ever happened.
