Whoo! The next chappie is here! And the chappie that we've been waiting for… :D

Later that night, Rose and Shadow continued to travel around the world. They went to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, glanced at the humongous clock tower in London, and into the city of Tokyo where they met a few new friends and everything. Now they were in China, sitting on top of a building as they watched some fireworks burst into the night skies.

"Wow. This is amazing", Shadow complemented.

"Yep, it is", Rose kicked back and rested her back on the flag pole behind her.

"…Too bad Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles aren't here", Shadow said, trying to burst Rose's bubble.

"Well…Tails is a big party pooper", Rose said, not realizing that she was falling for Shadow's trick. "Plus, Sonic would just chase some girls everywhere, and Knuckles would just steal some food for himself. And…Wait a minute", she turned to him uneasily.

"Aha!" Shadow removed her hood.

"Eep!" Rose shrieked as she backed away a little.

"You are the girl I met at the marketplace, aren't you?" Shadow asked distrustfully.

"No, I-I-," Rose tried to come up with a lie, again.

"Tell me the truth! Who are you?" the prince demanded. "Did you think that I was stupid that I wouldn't figure this out?"

"Ok, the truth…" Rose sighed hardly. She looked at Carpet who waved her on, giving her some hope. "The truth is…I disguised myself as a commoner so I could escape my royal life. See, where I'm from is very strict, and the rules are unfair."

"Like?" Shadow crossed his arms curiously.

"Like, I can't take a nap if a want to", Rose explained some more. "Really, I am a princess who wants to be free."

"Why didn't you tell me when we met?" the prince asked softly.

"Well…I did not want my identity to be discovered", Rose continued to lie. "Besides, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are my royal servants who accompanied me to find the man of my dreams so I can be a queen and be away from my home. I mean, I never thought that you were a prince at first."

"Hm…I guess we have something in common. Our lives are unfair", Shadow placed a hand on Rose's gently. "But I still like you", he smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Full moon", Rose looked up at the sky.

"Full moon!?" Shadow gasped as he looked at the sky worriedly. "I must get home."

"I'll take you", Rose offered.

The prince nodded. Rose snapped her fingers and Carpet floated in front of them so they could get on. Shadow got on and politely helped Rose on. Then they rode through the wind as they passed by some clouds. Feeling a little bit tired, Shadow rested his head on Rose's right shoulder and closed his eyes. She looked at him shyly. Maybe lying about herself saved herself from being heartbroken. Still, deep down inside, she felt like it was the wrong thing to do. Was it for love? Or was it for attention? The fake princess thought long and hard to herself to see if she did the right thing.

A couple of hours later, the two made it back to the palace back at Agrabah. All of the lights were off so everyone there was probably asleep. Rose and Shadow got off of the magic carpet and safely landed on the balcony to the bedroom.

"I had a great time with you tonight", Shadow smiled.

"Me too", Rose nodded. "Well…Good night", she turned around and heads her way to Carpet.

"Wait…" the prince took a hold of Rose's left arm.

"Huh?" Rose looked at him with a blush.

The two hedgehogs looked at each other silently. All they heard in the background was the chirping crickets and the water flowing from the basins in the water fountain. Shadow continued to stare at Rose passionately as she looked at him oddly and diffidently. Slowly, he pulled the female into his arms, held her hands, and placed his lips on hers, eyes closed. The pink hedgehog widened her eyes in surprise. Does he really like-actually-love her that much? There was no doubt about it. After all, she was in love with him for as long as she can remember. But she never kissed a boy before, so she was extremely nervous. Her heart pounded speedily as a huge red blush appeared on her face. However, she liked Shadow's lips. They were soft, tender, and tasted nice. Plus, he had on some nice smelling cologne, that some of the smell was getting on her clothes! As calmly as she could, Rose wrapped her arms around Shadow's neck and stood on her tepee toes, pressing her lips onto his deeply. After a short amount of time, Rose moaned as she opened her eyes widely in shock when she felt Shadow's tongue traveling around in her mouth. Then he tilts his head to the side for a good angle. The pink hedgehog blushed some more as she stared in awe. Two minutes later, Shadow stopped kissing his love and panted a little. She panted too, only a little harder, because of her nervousness.

"My first kiss", Shadow said softly.

"Mine too", Rose replied.

"Well, will you come and see me tomorrow?" the prince asked joyfully.

"Sure, I'll come back for you", Rose nodded with a kind smile.

"Great", Shadow said and gave her another kiss on the lips. "Sleep tight", he walked back to his room.

"Good night", Rose waved timidly as she walked backwards to the edge of the balcony.

Yawning softly, Shadow reached to the curtains. Suddenly, he stopped. Rose looked at him inexplicably. He looked back at her with a heart warming smile. She smiled too, only another blush came up on her cheeks. This was her first time in love, so it seemed like she was discovering this new feeling called 'love'.

"I'll wait for you tomorrow", the prince said lovingly.

"Um-um-ok", Rose swift her eyes side to side earnestly.

"You're so cute when you blush", Shadow chuckled as he went back inside his room to go to sleep.

The pink hedgehog turned to him and noticed that he was in his room. Then she heard some soft snoring. Her love was asleep. All of the sudden, a huge smile came up on her face. She was in love that she didn't want to wait until tomorrow to see him again. A large lovely sigh came out of her mouth as she opened her arms, closed her eyes, and fell back. Luckily, the carpet caught her from falling off of the balcony to her death. It descends to the ground as Rose looked up at the sky. Lots of stars were seen along with the full moon. She would never forget the night, never. It was her first time experiencing love, first time seeing some parts of the world, and she even got her first kiss. So she was very happy.

"You know what, Carpet?" Rose spoke heavenly. "Things are turning out just right. I mean, what could go wrong?" she asked outloud, even though that was not a good idea.

Whoo! They kiss! Let's celebrate! However, something's going to happen on the next chappie. What is it? R&R and find out!
