As Shadow slept, Sonic ran into his room and woke him up. "Wake up sleepy head." he yelled encouragingly. "Okay, I'm awake." Shadow replied. "Where's Rouge?" he asked. "She's in the living room, waiting for you." Sonic replied. "Oh and she dressed very nicely for you." he added.

"Okay, so what do I have to wear?" he asked. "Rouge got this suit for you." Sonic replied. Shadow saw the black suit pants and jacket, and liked it. "I hope it doesn't tear or anything." Shadow added sarcastically. "Come on dude. What's the worst that can possibly happen?" Sonic replied sarcastically.

Then Shadow got the suit on and it was a perfect fit. The suit pants were on perfectly, and the jacket covered most of his chest. The white, fluffy fur on his chest was as is, so people assumed it was a special tie. "I look cool." he stated. Sonic couldn't help but agree.

Just as they headed to the living room, Shadow stayed in his room till Sonic called him down. Tails, Cream, Amy, and Chris stood with Rouge as she waited to go with Shadow on their date. "Ladies and gents. Allow me to introduce the new and improved Shadow the Hedgehog." Sonic stated.

Then Shadow came out, and the others were amazed by how he looked. Maniac stated, "Looks like someone's going to be the next James Bond or somethin." Sonia went up to Shadow and said, "You look great." She gave him a friendly hug. Then he went to Rouge, and he was amazed by what she wore, just as she liked what he wore. She wore a black V-neck dress that showed her cleavage. "You're beautiful." he said. "You're so handsome." she complied as they stood together and stared at each others eyes. "Come on, and go on your date already." Maniac ranted encouragingly. Then they went to Club Rouge.

First they just sat and ate. Many people were there at the club. Shadow ate 10 pieces of stuffed crust pizza, and Rouge had sushi. Shadow had a little piece of her sushi, and she had the a slice of Shadow's pizza. "That's pretty good." he said. "I agree." Rouge complied. Then they heard dance music that they liked. It was Hit me baby one more time, by Britney Spears. "Would you like to dance?" he asked. "Most certainly." she replied.

Then they and some other people danced. Then he and Rouge danced together, and man did they dance good. Then when after they danced the song, they danced again, only this time, they danced to Duran Duran's "Hungry like the Wolf."

As they danced, they did a little tango. Then just for the heck of it, Shadow stretched his right arm as far as possible, and Rouge twisted and turned as she held her hand with his hand as he stretched. Then as he pulled Rouge towards him, he ended up pulling himself to her, and at that moment, they ended up kissing each others lips. Many of the other people at the club applauded them.

The kiss they had was long and lingering, and then they stopped. They were surprised but yet happy that the people there applauded them. Then they went outside at the back of the club.

"That was fun." Rouge stated. "Totally." Shadow complied. "So how's Knuckles?" he asked. "He's doing great." she replied. "I want you to know that he and I are just friends." she added. "Okay, but yet you wanted someone strong." he replied as he stretched his chin to make himself appear strong. Rouge laughed gently, and she said, "Shadow, I want you to be that strong guy in my life." Shadow smiled at her after she had said that to him. Shadow couldn't help kissing her again, and they kissed.

Then they arrived back at the mansion, and Maniac let them in. "Where's Sonic, and the others?" Shadow asked. "They're asleep." Maniac replied while he, Shadow and Rouge were inside the house. "Did you guys?" Maniac asked. "Umm. We just kissed." Shadow replied, and Rouge nodded. "But I thought you guys got it on?" Maniac interposed. "We just had fun." Shadow replied. "Well, I'm gonna go and get me a drink." Maniac stated. "You go do that." Shadow added. Then Maniac got himself a bottle of beer, and drunk it.

"Thanks for going with me." Shadow said as he held Rouge's hands. "Thanks for letting me go with you." she complied. "I love you, Rouge." Shadow stated. "And I love you, Shadow." she complied. They kissed again. Then they went off to their rooms and slept.
