ROOMIES
Rouge put her hand to her chin and looked as if she was thinking, but why would she need to think this was the fate of the free world we were talking about here? Finally she answered.
"I will go but only on one condition." She said.
"And what would that be?" Knuckles asked.
"That we stay in Pairs for one more night because I have engagements to finish before I leave." She replied.
"We could all use some rest anyway." Eclipse said in agreement with Rouge.
"Would you guys like to stay with me?" Rouge asked showing a bit of hospitality. "I am staying in a hotel and I can get a few more rooms." She added.
"We would be very appreciative." Tails answered.
So they all followed her to a huge five star motel found in the center of Pairs. She led them in and told them to wait in the lobby. They were all amazed at the place even in the lobby there were fireplaces and beautiful peaces of furniture and flower arrangements everywhere, and in the center was a huge white wishing fountain. Soon Rouge returned and motion for them to follow her. When they reached the 5th floor she stopped in the hallway.
"Ok I could only get two more rooms because this placed is so packed so we're going to have to share rooms." With that Rouge handed Amy a card key and then one two Eclipse.
"Shadow want to share a room with me?" Amy asked as she blushed a little.
That made Shadow turn a dark red, "ah, if you want me too Amy." He said.
So Amy took his hand and led him into a room right next to Rouge's and shut the door behind them.
Everyone was kinda of shocked, but said nothing there were no words in the English language to express what they thought. Then Eclipse opened a room on the other side of Rouge's room and went in followed by Tails and Sonic who after they enter shut the door. Knuckles was the only one left standing without a room and Rouge gave him a little smile.
"Come on Knuckles." She said as she went in and motioned for him to follow her.
Knuckles blushed a bit but did as he was told. When he walked in he was in a living room there was a big screen TV and a couch and a sliding glass door that led out on to a balcony. To the left was the entrance to the bathroom that had a hug tub and shower and it had two sinks, and then there was one more room it was the bed room it had a huge king sized bed with two small tables on each side of it, one side had a lamp the other a vase of red roses.
"Knuckles you can have the bed and I'll sleep on the couch." Rouge said as she walked over and sat down on the couch and picked up a magazine.
Knuckles looked at her like she was crazy, she paid for this and he was forced on her yet she lets him take the bed. This made him a bit curious, because she normally would have told him that the bed was hers at least that's what he had expected. Rouge noticed the confused look on his face and found it amusing. She just gave him a wink and a smile and retuned to her magazine, this made Knuckles face blush a light pink. Knuckles walked into the room and sat on the bed, he pulled a map out from behind him and began to study it, it was a map of Europe he thought if they did anymore traveling in Europe he should be prepared. Soon he heard the TV shut off and he saw Rouge come into the room she walked over to the bed and scooted over next to Knuckles and put her head over his shoulder so she could see what he was looking at. She pulled a rose form the vase and took in the sweet fragrance.
"Ah Rouge what are you doing?" He asked as his cheeks began to burn red again.
"Nothing just thought I'd come see what you've been up too." She said as she nuzzled her head on his shoulder.
Knuckles was so nerves, he had never had a girl get this close to him let alone Rouge one of his rivals. It sent shivers down his spine and Rouge noticed it and smiled.
"Its ok Knuckles you can relax, I don't bite, much."
"What?" He said as he turned to look at her.
"I'll see you tomorrow." She said and she kissed him on the cheek, and she put the rose in his dreads, and then slid of the bed and left the room closing the door behind her.
Knuckles was so confused he didn't know what to do. He took the rose Rouge had put in his dreadlocks and smelled it, he looked at it with a smiled, he reached over and tuned out the lamp as he returned the roses to the vase.
In another room Amy was sitting on the bed reading a book, and Shadow was watching the TV in the den. (all rooms designed the same except for the roses.) Amy got up and went into the den and sat next to Shadow. He looked at her and began to ask her a question.
"Amy um, why did you want to share a room with me?" He still wondered why she had chosen him.
"Because Shadow I may not be yours but you are my best friend, and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather share with." She said as she blushed a little.
Shadow looked at her a little surprised to learn that she thought of him as her best friend. "Amy you are actually the only thing that I have ever had that even comes close to a best friend, accept for… Maria."
Amy looked at him for a minute, then put a hand to his face and turned it to her own. "Shadow, its going to be a ok." "I, I know I want ever be able to replace Maria but I want to be your friend if you'll let me."
Shadow just looked at her a surprised look on his face. No one had ever wanted to befriend him before.
Amy smiled at him and she began to yawn. "Well I think I am going to bed." She said as she got up and stretched and she headed for the bed room that Shadow had instead she take.
In the last room Sonic had taken the couch, Eclipse had the bed and Tails had made a palate on the floor, and they were all sound asleep.
