CHAPTER 29 ROUGE PART 2

After Maria flew off to heaven the host decided it was time to re-interview one of her guests that hardly got any time. "Okay people if you would all control yourselves this time I would like to re-introduce Rouge the bat!"

The crowd cheered as Rouge came cat walking back into the room and sat down on the sofa.

"Hello again, Rouge," the host said.

"Hello again to you too," Rouge said leaning back on the sofa.

"Can we go through your interview this time without you breaking into song?"

"Sure. Fire away."

"Okay," the host said. "So Rouge what is your relationship with Knuckles?"

"I... well," Rouge said blushing and looking away. "well there isn't exactly one but there could be..."

"What about Shadow?" the host asked. "Lately from what I read about the new games you and him have been becoming much closer. Would it be safe to say there's a love triangle going on here?"

"Well... I...uh..." Rouge stammered, her face turning dark red. "There might be..."

"I see," the host said, grinning.

"What are you smiling about?" Rouge demanded.

"Oh, nothing, " the host chuckled. "So Rouge why does your voice make you sound like you're 'trying' to be sexy?"

"Because my voice actor doesn't know squate about how to do a good job," Rouge replied, a dark cloud hanging over her head. "My old voice worked better. I didn't sound like I was trying to be sexy (though I sounded a bit cue cardy at first) besides it sounded better. I didn't sound like an old lady doing a seventeen year old's voice."

"That's right, you are seventeen," the host said.

"I don't think my voice actor knows that though," Rouge brooded. "I think she thinks I'm much older..."

"Well maybe it's gotten better now," the host said.

"What do you mean "maybe"?" Rouge demanded.

"When I played my Shadow The Hedgehog game I played it with the japanese voices because I couldn't stand the english ones, except Espio's," the host replied.

"That's no fun," Rouge told her. "How do you plan on understanding what's going on if you only play it in Japanese?"

"Subtitles," the host replied.

"Oh."

The host stared at Rouge thoughtfully for a moment until the bat got nervous. "What?" she asked.

"Did you know you remind me of a Zubat?" the host asked.

"What?!" Rouge exclaimed. "I don't even look like a Zubat!"

"I know," the host said. "The first time I saw your picture I thought you were a cat with wings."

"I'm not a cat either!"

"I know that but I didn't at the time," the host replied. "I hadn't even played the Sonic games until that anime came out and I watched it. Actually Knuckles was the one who got me interested in the games. I thought he was cool so I bought Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the Gamecube. Needless to say, I was surprised at how different his voice sounded in it." she giggled. "At that time I had no idea what Shadow sounded like so when I heard his voice I practically melted. Me and my sis were like "Oh wow! He sounds so HOT!"

"What about my voice?" Rouge wanted to know.

"I thought it sounded pretty," the host replied.

"Why thank you," Rouge said, her head beginning to swell. "I know it was."

"So moving on," the host said, not wanting to give the bat girl a big ego. "Why are you so obsessed with stealing Knuckles Master Emerald? Do you get a kick out of making him angry."

"I'm just stealing his one true love," the bat girl replied. "He worships that gem. I figure if he's going to act like that around it, it needs to be taken away from him. That and I like jewels," Rougue added, starry eyed.

"Oye," the host said. "Is doing that like theropy?"

"I wouldn't say that," Rouge replied. "The last time I stole it Knuckes got so mad he tried to choke me."

"So much for that relationship," the host commented. "Any guy who tries to choke a girl isn't worth it."

"Tell me about it," Rouge said. "The only reason I don't date Vector is because if he rolled over on me he'd squash me."

The host stared at him. "Eh... you'd sleep with Vector?"

"No!" Rouge exclaimed, "I ment if he fell on top of me."
"... not any better," the host commented.

"Isnt' there anything I could say that wouldn't give you the wrong idea?"

The host thought a moment. "No," she finally said.

Rouge fell over.

"Anyway," the host said thinking for a moment. "I can't seem to think of anything else to ask you."

"Why not?"

"Because a little incident last week totally sucked out my creative juices," the host replied.

"Oh, that's too bad," Rouge said with sympathy.

"I know," the host said, all depressed. "Maybe something will come to me later."

"Do you want me to come back again?"

"Naw," the host said. ''I don't want to have you wearing out your welcome."

"Okay," Rouge said, getting up. "Good bye then."

"Good bye."

Thus ended the second interview with Rouge the bat.
