New Beginnings
Chapter 9
Upon arriving at the Station . . . "Rouge?" I call to my love. "Hey sweetie, I've invited everyone to my house for a pool party, and of course you are coming!" "No doubt!" Wow, a pool party, I'll have to push Sonic in the water for teasing me before. I smile evily. "Are we heading there now?" "You bet Knucklehead, come on, we'll take my car." She has a car? Oh yeah now I remember. That white car that looked like it had bat ears on the rear. Sure enough, there it was right in front of the station, the familiar Bat-car. Why didn't I notice it there before? Odd.
Next thing I know, we are driving along the highway, far, far away from Station Square. Ahead was mountain area. "We are almost there honey." I hope so.
We passed through some canyons. "Wow, those would be a great climb." I said in awe, "That they would be." I saw Rouge smile. "There it is!" I quickly turned my head forward. "Holy mother of Chaos!" THIS IS A HOUSE? Looks more like a Small Mansion! "You live here?" "Yeah, given to me by the government. They still pay for it. It was a reward for infiltrating Eggman's HQ and discovering the secret of Shadow two years ago." I wouldn't mind living here. Rouge parked the car near the doorway and we got out. "The Party is in two hours, enough time to explore the house." She smirked and winked at me. I blushed and looked down. I heard her open the door and walk in. I looked away from my interesting shoes and walked in, only to be frozen in awe. This MUST be a mansion! There were white, with light brown patterns, floor tiles, a glass Chandelier, a curved staircase lined with purplish pink carpeting leading to the door with a heart lighter pink heart pattern on it. On the walls were random pictures of Jewels, Bats, and other paintings. I looked at one of the Bat pictures, I recognized Rouge, with a female Bat, a male Bat, and a younger male bat. "Your family?" I pointed to the picture. "Yeah but . . . They disappeared soon after that picture was taken. "How horrid." "But it's the past, and people should learn from it, not thrive on it." "I agree." "Shall we continue?" I nod and follow her up the stairs. "The downstairs is just the Kitchen, a game room and a Sparring arena that's designed like a pinball table. (A/N: Think Club "Rouge" For all you Sonic Battle players out there.) You wouldn't think it, but I am somewhat of a gamer. Being alone for two years gets boring." She crossed her arms and laughed. "The games get addicting after a while." I chuckled once more. "We may have to spar sometime." I say with slight aggression. "Oh we will." She says with some seduction in her voice, but I ignore it.
We soon came to a row of doors. "Here are the guest rooms." I mentally counted 6. "Hmm." "They came with the house." "Ah I see." Rouge looked back to the way we came and walked back to the stairs. I followed closely. There was a double door moreover to the left of the stairs. "And that, sweetie, is the Master Bedroom." My eyes widened. "Rouge, not now. We have to get ready. Sure, it's a nice idea, but not now eh? Maybe later." I didn't want her to find my presents for her now. "If you say so." I chuckled. "Maybe a Spar would be better?" "Alright, as long as it's with you." We both chuckled. "True it has been a while since we even fought. I hope your ready!" "Always!" She smiled at me, and I returned a smile of my own. As we walked down the stairs, I ruffled my quills, getting the Shard in one of the boxes. We walked past a conveniently placed drawer of sorts; I silently opened it, placed the boxes in and closed it. Knowing Rouge, she probably heard it but she probably wanted to keep it to herself.
Rouge opened the door to the Sparring Room, and I was nearly blinded by the change in lighting. My vision soon cleared as I discovered that she was right! The floor itself was like an image of a Pinball Table. There was four long "Bumpers" lined in a corner-less box, with an octagonal "Bumper" in the middle. I walked into the "Box" and watched Rouge walk a good 10 yards ahead of me. "I am ready when you are Love." I say to her. "As am I, Don't hold anything back!" "I wont!" I smiled at her, and charged.
