I want to thank all of the reviewers who reviewed this story. Thanks. Now to continue.
After the fight, Shadow opened his eyes and noticed that he was laying down on his bed. He thought to himself, "What the? I've never been exposed to such a powerful beam before, and what happened after I saved Rouge?" "Oh my God, Rouge. Rouge, is she okay?" he thought again.
So he ran to the living room and noticed that no one was there. "Well this certainly feels weird." he stated. He went to the refrigerator to get a drink of milk. He drank it well. But for some weird reason, he felt hungry. He searched for food, all until he found a pizza box with 5 pieces of stuffed crust pizza. His mouth watered, and when he stretched his hand, his arm reached for the box, and then he just immediately grabbed the box.
"Whoa. Whoa." Shadow thought. "How in the hell did I just do that?" he asked to himself. But then he sat on a nice chair that was next to the kitchen table, and stretched his arm again, and it stretched. Shadow felt very weird when he stretched. He ate all 5 pieces of the pizza he found. But he then he stretched and opened the refrigerator with his left arm, and he grabbed the carton of milk, and put it in a cup that he grabbed earlier, while he stretched to open the refrigerator, as he was still sitting. But as he drank, he heard knocks on the door.
So then he sat in the living room, and unlocked the door from the couch he sat on. After he unlocked it, he returned his hand/arm back to normal, or at least as normal as it could be. Then Rouge came in, and she ran over to Shadow and hugged him. Shadow couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek. Rouge blushed a little, but yet she enjoyed it, and then said, "I'm okay, Shadow. I'm okay." "I was worried about you. I thought I wasn't going to see you again." Shadow interposed.
"But I'm here Shadow, and I'll always be here for you." Rouge said encouragingly. "Are you okay Shadow?" Rouge asked. "I am, but something weird is happening to me." he replied. She then was starting to freak out and worry. "Don't worry. I'm not gonna die, you know." he added sarcastically. "Oh, but what's wrong?" she asked in a worried, but curious tone. "This." Shadow replied as he stretched his arms across. Rouge was freaked out, but yet amazed by the stretching that Shadow just did. "Could the rest of your body stretch like that?" she asked. "Well, let's find out." he answered.
Then he stretched his upper body, and it stretches, like the way he stretched his arms. Then he stretched his feet to his chest and then to his hands. After he did that, he rolled like a pinball, but it took him a little while to make his body normal. "Wow." Rouge said. "I hope that you don't think I'm a freak." Shadow pleaded. "No, you're not a freak. If you were to mutate into a monster, then yes." Rouge replied. "Thank goodness. Rouge, I want to thank you for understanding, and well, for being a great friend." Shadow added. Then they held hands, and just as they were about to kiss, Sonic and the others arrived.
"Well someone's out of bed." Sonic stated sarcastically. "I just woke up." Shadow replied. "Well, I'm sure glad you're safe." Sonic added. The others agreed with Sonic. "I am all right." Shadow added. "I feel like going out tonight." he stated. "Okay, but just come back here in one piece." Sonic replied. "I will. I will." Shadow complied.
Then as Shadow went outside to the backyard to rest, Rouge sat and joined him. "Shadow, could I come with you?" she asked. "Of course you can, Rouge." he replied. "Where do you feel like going today?" she asked. "I feel like going to Club Rouge." he answered. "Sure. We can go now." she added. "Nah, I wanna wait until tonight." he replied. "Okay, I can wait, but what time?" she asked. "We'll go at 8:00." he replied. "Sounds good." she complied. "All right it's settled." Shadow added.
"Rouge, promise me you won't tell the others about my new power." he pleaded. "I promise, Shadow." she answered. "Thanks." he stated. Then they hugged. "I'm gonna go get some rest." he replied. "I'll be sure to wake you up, before 8." Rouge added. Shadow smiled at her, and then went to his room and rested, before going out on his date with Rouge. Yet, he still thought of telling the others, but he wanted to tell them later. So, as he laid on his bed, he just put that thought aside, for now.
