La La La. I don't own stuff.
Natalie woke up in the guest room with wide eyes breathing heavily. Her hand clutched at her chest as her heart almost pounded out of it. "It was... It was just a dream." She said to herself. I have to stop worrying. I'll be fine. Shadow will be fine. Our relationship will be fine. She thought, walking to the shower. Yeah... It's fine.
Natalie came downstairs (fully dressed of course) to walk in the middle of an... interesting conversation.
"Oh My GOD! Tails!" Sonic sighed. "Okay... Say milkshake."
"Milkshake." The kitsune repeated.
"Okay. Now say milk."
"...Malk."
Knuckles watched with amusement from his seat at the kitchen table.
"I'm starting to doubt this whole genius thing, Tails." Sonic said, pouring Tails a glass of milk. "Here's your malk!" He shouted, shoving the half full glass at the fox and stomping out of the kitchen.
"Well, it looks like I missed a lot." Natalie commented, startling a few people in the livingroom.
"Hey, Kat! When did you get up?" Sonic asked, still sounding a little irritated from the whole milk ordeal. (Haha! Whole milk! Get it? Omg, that was totally a coincidence.)
"I woke up a little while ago." She said, talking a seat at the kitchen table. "Where's Shadow?" She asked.
"I think he went with Rouge to do some paperwork stuff." He answered, setting a plate in front of Natalie. Oooh. I get breakfast? Wow. I guess I really will be okay!
"Oh. Okay then. Well, what's for breakfast?" She asked, still wondering what would be taking up the empty space in her plate. Although she was almost sure it would be a chilidog.
"I'll show you!" The blue hedgehog said, grabbing Natalie's plate and preparing her food in a way she couldn't see. He sat it back in front of her. And what was on her plate?
"Just... just chili?" She asked, ears tilted in confusion.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Sorry. I had the last chilidog. And we're all out of hotdogs now. I told Shadow to buy more for me, but I don't think he's gonna." Sonic said, slightly disappointed.
A few hours later, Shadow and Rouge came back. However Shadow was... well... green. And Rouge looked like her normal self.
Natalie couldn't contain her laughter, nor could anyone else. But nonetheless, she still decided to check on Shadow. "W-what happened to you?" She asked. Doing her best not to laugh.
"Shut the hell up. We had to go undercover and needed a disguise. I'm going to wash this paint off." He growled, trudging up the stairs.
Rouge and Natalie laughed, then scowled at each other once they saw that the other was amused.
Natalie sat on the grass outside. She was like that. She liked the cool feel of the grass, the soft wind in her hair, the moons pretty rays shining down on her face. It was almost perfect.
"Natalie." And then she came out. "Can I talk to you for a sec?" Rouge asked, sitting next to the girl anyway.
"Well, since you're already here..." Natalie's voice trailed off. Her tail swished in annoyance and her ears were flat against her head. But once she realised that Rouge wasn't talking she lightened up.
"Hey, Natalie." Spoke too soon.
"Yes?" The girl almost hissed.
"Well?" Natalie asked impatiently.
"..." the bat was still silent. It seemed that she was trying to find the words but just couldn't.
Natalie sighed and hugged Rouge. "...I'm sorry."
Rouge's eyes widened. She didn't expect that. "W-what?"
"I said I'm sorry. For... everything. I'm sorry I almost killed you that long time ago. I'm sorry for being so bitchy ever since I got here. And I'm sorry for being so possessive over..."
The thief laughed, looking into Natalie's eyes. "It's okay. If he were mine and you were the one he was working with all the time, I'd have acted the exact same way."
"So... Are... Are we cool?" The pink-eared girl asked with wide, hopeful, hazel eyes.
"Sure we are! I just wish you would've realised how dumb you were being a lot sooner."
"What do you mean, dumb? I'm probably the smarter of the two of us!"
"Oh? And why is that?" The bat asked, a non-existant brow raised.
"Because, I was the bigger person!" Natalie all but shouted.
"How is that?"
"Because I apologised!" The girl said, standing and taking a stubborn pose.
"If you're gonna go there, then I should point out that I'm actually the bigger person! I did hug you first."
"No! You didn't!"
Rouge sighed, standing as well. "Fine. But... I just remember it a little differently, that's all."
"Good old Rouge. It's good to have you back." Natalie smiled, and the two walked back into the house.
"Hey, did you ever give Shadow that chaos emerald you promised?" The taller asked.
"Shhh, and no. But besides, I never promised anything."
A/N: I fixed the ending... I think. Lol. Yall should still review though. ~xoxo~
