"Hey Shadow, when's your birthday?"
Shadow scoffed. "What are you blathering about now?"
"Your birthday. You know, the day you were born?" Rouge leaned towards him. "The day little baby Shadow took his first angry breath and cursed the planet with his unending grumpiness?"
Shadow shoved her away. "Why does that matter to you?"
"I wanted to know which day I needed to be super duper extra obnoxious and get you a cake." Rouge grinned. "If you don't tell me, I'll just say it's today~"
"No."
Rouge rolled her eyes. "Spoilsport. What about you, Omega?"
"I WAS BROUGHT INTO EXISTENCE ON DECEMBER 30TH."
Rouge frowned. "Huh... That sounds like a long time ago. Isn't it October now? But I haven't had my birthday yet, so-"
"TIME MAKES NO SENSE IN OUR WORLD," Omega replied sagely. "ACCEPT IT AND DON'T THINK ABOUT IT TOO HARD."
"Uh..."
"ACCEPT IT OR FACE MOCKERY."
Rouge laughed, nervously stretching out her wings. "Okay, okay... Well, in case you were wondering, which you totally should have been, mine is June 19th."
"Then that's going to be mine as well," Shadow said. "That way you'll be too focused on your own to bother me."
Unfortunately for Shadow, Rouge wrapped him into a bone crushing hug and squealed "BIRTHDAY TWINS!"
Shadow shoved her away again, causing Rouge to laugh.
"You sure you want to take on mine?" she teased. "Today's still up for grabs."
Shadow's lip curled into a sneer and he walked away, disengaging from the conversation. Rouge let him go, turning back to Omega.
"Oh well. Whoever does have a birthday today... I hope they have a good one. With cake."
"AND ARSON."
"That's right Megs. And arson."
