I still don't know who Rouge's hero should be...

Rouge smiled and lay down on her bed. But she didn't go to sleep.

I need to know who that is... who is he? Too bad that I can't get Echo to listen to his voice... I want to know more about him... I can't believe I'm saying this… but… I love him… I know I don't know him much… but… he has some sort of… Rouge stopped thinking to herself when she heard something out her open window. She looked outside. She saw Shadow and Sonic talking to each other.

"Playing hero again?"

"Shut up, it's none of your business…"

"You just saved her ass again…"

Rouge couldn't tell who was speaking because they were speaking in hushed whispers.

"Look… let's make a bet… if she doesn't know it's me… then, you leave me alone on this subject…"

"Rouge and S-" whoever it was stopped.

The two boys ran away from her window.

Rouge wondered why… but then figured it out when someone rang her doorbell. Amy answered it to find Shadow and Sonic. Rouge went downstairs.

"Rouge… you didn't, by any chance-" Sonic started.

"-Hear our conversation… did you?" Shadow finished.

"Umm… no…" Rouge lied.

Both boys gave a sigh of relief.

Rouge noticed that Shadow had a cut on his arm. "Shadow… what happened to your arm?"

Shadow slowly put his eyes to his arm. "Oh… this? I got it because someone paid Big to trample on my arm!" he said angrily.

"Or… when you were fighting that big robot…" Sonic said.

"Huh? You got a bigger cut fighting that robot than me!" Shadow said.

Rouge was very confused at all this. They both fought a robot… they both have some injury… this is so… confusing!

Heh… heh… super short… but who gives a crap? I decided who the mysterious hero is! And I will not reveal it!... Yet...
