Umm... do I need to say something here?
Rouge was tossing and turning in her sleep. Her mind was still heavy on her mysterious hero. She's been wondering about the boy for the past week.
I can't believe I'm actually thinking this... but I want to get into trouble again... just so I can hear his soothing voice... find out more about him... I can't believe that it's been a week without him... I can't even tell Echo about his voice...
Rouge sat up and looked at her clock. It was a few minutes after 4:30. She sighed and walked out of her room. Rouge dragged her legs out of the front door.
Maybe... just maybe... my hero is still awake... he was the other two nights he saved me... I guess he really likes to stay up late...
Rouge walked around. She walked around Station Square's tight spaces. For a second or two, she thought she felt the wind behind her back.
Meanwhile...
"Shadow... I'm going to... win this time..." Sonic said.
"Oh, come on... it's only our 48th lap..." Shadow said.
They ran behind some person. "Hey, wasn't that Rouge?" he asked Shadow.
The two hedgehogs stopped, but at the rate of speed they were going, they stopped far away from her.
Anyway...
Rouge looked in her pocket to find a small tape recorder. She smiled at the item in her hands. Oh... I hope that he's here somewhere... I need to know more about him... I wish he'd just appear.
Suddenly, Eggman flew above Rouge in his Flying Egg. Rouge flew after him. What the hell is he doing out this late? Even though I didn't find my hero today... I gotta find out what Eggman is doing...
Rouge followed the Flying Egg. Although, she didn't know that she was being followed too. Her mysterious hero stepped out of the trees. Rouge didn't notice him. Eggman looked behind him to find Rouge. He was enraged.
A robot landed in front of Rouge. It was three times her size. Rouge's eyes widened. Damnit... it's times like this when being friends with Knuckles paid off...
She tried kicking the robot down, but sadly failed. She fell down in front of her mysterious hero. He stepped up and jumped up to the robot's head. Wait... how can he jump that high? Rouge gasped. Sonic! Really? I need to know...
Eggman left in his Flying Egg. The robot hit Rouge's hero on the arm. "Grr... there's no time for this!"
The robot fell down in defeat. The hedgehog held his right arm. "I hate this..." he whispered.
Rouge gasped. She secretly pressed the button on the tape recorder. She smiled at the silhouette of her hero. "Is this the third time?" she asked.
"Wait... before I talk..." the hedgehog walked up to her. Rouge smiled. He took the tape recorder out of her pocket. "Sorry, I can't afford anyone... to... know who I am..." he said.
Rouge looked sad... but then changed her mind when his hand was under her chin.
"Okay... umm... you don't notice me much... as a friend, maybe..." he said.
Rouge looked at him. He was holding his right arm. "A-are you okay? You got hurt because of me?"
He put his hand under her chin again. He kissed her. Rouge enjoyed every second of this. She savored every moment.
The sun started rising. The boy gasped, he let go and ran. Rouge smiled and started walking back home.
