A Haze in my Day
Previously
"Who likes jewels more than anyone else?" Charmy asked rhetorically. Shadow immediately got who he was saying. "Ok, let's go find the Bat-girl." Vector said, while cracking his knuckles.
Everybody knows Rouge the Bat right? The manipulative, cunning, calculating, fearless, bewitching, sexy, and overflowing with female charm white bat… but is that really all there is to her?
Well… no not really.
In the same forest where Shadow was, Rouge sat in a tree, but she wasn't looking like herself. She had no mascara on, and she wasn't wearing her normal attire. Rouge was wearing blue jean shorts, an olive-colored tank top, her purple boots and white gloves with the purple rectangles on it.
Rouge was like this at the moment because she sad Shadow hardly ever took notice to her and she was also being a little lazy at getting dressed. It was always something else that came up.
All she wanted to do was talk to him, be his friend and maybe even his girlfriend. But she wasn't even sure if he liked her. Shadow was so mysterious, smart handsome and… well, sometimes a little pessimistic. But Rouge found that she liked him anyway.
Rouge told everyone she went out to search for treasure, just because it would be weird if she said she didn't. They all expected her to be the famous treasure hunter like she had told some of her friends. Well, Tails told her she didn't have to be 'Miss Famous Treasure Hunter' all the time.
There was another thought. Miles Tails Prower… the child prodigy, now going into his teens but lately Rouge noticed he was acting a little strange. He liked to talk with Rouge when she had problems, and Tails would go shopping with her, but not for stuff… just to talk to her and sometimes she needed advice on what to buy. Sometimes Rouge worried if Tails was gay, but he still liked to work on machines and the Tornado so Rouge wasn't really sure.
Rouge just sat on the tree, taking in the tranquility until her cell phone rang. The sudden noise startled her, and almost made her fall out of the tree. She mentally told herself to put it on vibration next time. Rouge saw the number and realized it was Shadow's.
"Hi Shadow!" Rouge said, sounding a little cheerful from the fact that Shadow called her.
"Hello Rouge." He replied in his usual tone. "Listen, can you go to Eggman's base? I need you to check something out."
Rouge's ears immediately flattened when realization hit her. He just needed her to look for something. He'd never call just her willingly.
"Why?" She asked, trying to not sound angry. "Why do you need me to go there? Is it because you want me to get a Chaos Emerald for you because you're too lazy to get off your own ass to get it?"
Shadow then wondered what the hell is going on with Rouge. But he figured since she was a female, she had mood swings. But knowing Shadow, he wasn't gonna let her off the hook that easily.
"No…" He gritted through his teeth. "It's because I want you to go find someone. Or is that too hard for you?" Shadow then heard Rouge huff.
"Do you even care about me at all? Or you always just, 'The Ultimate Life Form'?"
"As a matter of fact, I like Amy. Are you happy now? Shadow asked. Rouge couldn't believe her ears. Amy? But she liked Sonic!
-Brief Interruption-
HSB: I'm sorry if any of you like Amy, but I couldn't think of anyone else. She will be a little annoying. Please don't flame me for that. Again, I'm sorry. I really do like her.
-Interruption Over-
"Well Rouge, there is a jewel involved if you want— Shadow began but got cut off by Rouge.
"Is that all you think I think about? Jewels? Well, it isn't! And I'm glad you like Amy! When we thought you died at ARK, I should have given your stupid bracelet to her! Go screw her for all I care!" And with that, she hung up nearly crying. (A/N: Don't worry; I'll have humor in this story.)
At Shadow's House
Shadow knew Rouge hung up, but he didn't put the phone down yet. He was shocked at what he just heard.
'So that's where my bracelet went.' He thought to himself. He immediately got pulled out of thought when he saw a certain bat fly past his house towards Eggman's Base.
Out of the corner of her eye, Rouge saw Shadow stare at her but dismissed the thought from her head. She ascended into the sky and flew towards Eggman's Base. Before she did, Shadow called the Chaotix and told them he found Rouge and for them to come back.
At Eggman's Base
Rouge landed somewhere in the base and searched around awhile trying to avoid security cameras. She finally got past the cameras and walked right past a room with that jewel in it. She walked backwards and noticed it.
"Holy crap, that thing's huge…" Rouge mumbled to herself. She slowly walked in until…
BANG!
The sudden noise made Rouge jump up and cling to the ceiling. She looked down and saw… TAILS?
"Tails? Is that you?" Rouge yelled. Tails looked up from the machinery and gasped.
"Rouge! What are you doing— Tails got cut off by Rouge who just started shouting.
"Tails why the hell are you here? Why the hell are you taking apart Eggman's machine? And… why are you wearing one of my vests?" (A/N: Tails is wearing jeans too!) Rouge had a look of confusion on her face. Tails' face flushed and then he pretended to play dumb.
"Uhh, what vest?"
"The one you're wearing."
"What one?"
Rouge glared. "That one! You're wearing it! Omigod, are you a cross—
"NO! I'm not a cross dresser! I'm a girl dammit! A GIRL!" Tails covered her mouth when she realized what she just said. Rouge was now on the floor due to the fact she let go of the ceiling out of shock. They then heard someone in the doorway. It was that mysterious hedgehog that attacked Espio. She walked out into the light and caused Tails and Rouge to back up. She was light pink, but not Amy's pink, and her quills looked like Shadow's except they stuck straight up. She was wearing a cape with dark blue wavy lines on it, black boots, a purple tank top, and black shorts. She looked at them with her light purple and dark blue eyes which had an evil look in them.
"What are you two doing near my crystal?" She said in a scary and serious voice. Rouge just started stuttering.
"Uh, w-well we were just… uh… heh heh…" Rouge started shaking. Tails shuddered and said,
"How can one weird hedgehog that looks like Shadow give an eviler look than him?" Tails tried to cover herself. The mysterious hedgehog raised an eye brow.
"Well, do you know what I say to that?" She replied. Tails and Rouge prepared for the worst until the pink hedgehog starting cracking up. Tails uncovered and stared at the hedgehog that was rolling around on the floor from laughter. She finally calmed herself and got up but there was no longer an evil look in her eyes. In fact, she had the biggest grim on her face.
"Oh man, you shoulda seen the looks on your faces! Did I do Shad's 'evil eye' right? Did I?" Rouge and Tails just stared at her incredulously.
"Oops! Where are my manners? My name's Haze. And yours?" She asked them. Tails spoke up.
"My name's Tails, but how do you know Shadow?" Haze's grin grew even wider.
"He's my brother!" Haze replied cheerfully. Rouge nearly got killed of shock.
"Uh… I need an aspirin." Rouge mumbled, while rubbing her head. Rouge looked at Haze and she just grinned in return.
Rouge gave Haze a freaked-out look. "You can't be Shadow's sister. You're waaay too nice and… smiley." Haze chuckled yet again. She then turned to Tails and smiled a friendly smile.
"And I know you. You're Miles "Tails" Prower and Sonic's best friend. And I know something else about you.
Tails just gulped in response.
Just Outside the Door
Espio still was recovering from his previous battle with Haze, but he felt fine enough to try to take her out.
He sprang into the room and shouted, "Hiya!" but was shocked at the next thing he heard.
"The thing I know is that you're really a girl!" Haze finished. Everybody finally noticed Espio in the room… I mean, who wouldn't? His jaw fell all the way to the floor and was making a river of drool up to everyone's knees. Haze smirked to herself and said,
"Good thing I'm wearing my big boots."
"Whoopee for you…" Tails mumbled while her knees and lower legs were drenched in drool. Espio finally closed his mouth and stared at Tails in shock.
"You're… a…. wha?" Espio couldn't quite finish his sentence. Tails' ears flattened in sadness but then she got a look of anger on her face.
"DON'T tell anyone else, or I'll personally hurt the person who does." She said in a threatening tone. Espio just squeaked but Haze shrugged.
"I'm not telling." Tails turned to Rouge. She just shrugged and said,
"I won't tell but I don't see why you wanna keep it a secret." Espio regained his focus for the moment.
"How are we going get out of here?" Espio asked. But that's when Eggman walked into the room.
"Aw, shit." Tails said to no one. Rouge looked at 'him' shocked, but Haze was looking the other way not really caring. Eggman merely chuckled.
"Well, whaddya little freaks gonna do? I've got you all hostage! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Haze rolled her eyes and grabbed her crystal. "Chaos Wave!" All of a sudden, a great mass of water flowed out of the crystal and onto the machine parts Eggman was standing on. (A/N: Magically, the drool was no longer there!)
"AAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!" Eggman shouted as he got electrocuted. Haze rounded everyone one up and said,
"Well, I bid goodbye to you Eggman. Now… Chaos Control!" They all disappeared and then reappeared in Shadow's back yard. Haze looked around in amazement.
"Wow, he sure has a nice house and yard." Rouge just shrugged and led them all to the front door. She started knocking but no one answered it. She turned to Espio.
"Can you try to knock?" Espio didn't hear a word 'cause he was staring at Tails. Rouge just rolled her eyes.
"Try kicking the door." Haze suggested casually. Rouge stared at her for a moment but then started kicking it. Knuckles finally answered the door.
"WHAT!" He yelled with an irritated look on his face. He then noticed Haze and the look immediately went away. He finally opened the door after five minutes of staring. Knuckles then noticed Espio staring at Tails.
"What's up with you?" Knuckles asked Espio. Espio opened his mouth to say Tails secret, but his mouth got covered by Rouge.
"He's just shocked of what happened."
"What happened?"
Rouge cringed and tried to think of an answer. Tails answered for her.
"Espio almost got probed by a robot." Everyone looked at 'him' with wide eyes. Tails just walked into the house and found everyone in the living room. Sonic looked up from a book he was reading (A/N: Shocking.) and smiled warmly at Tails.
"Hey little guy!" Tails winced at the word guy but turned to Sonic and managed to smile.
"Hi Sonic." Tails replied a little shakily. Secretly, over the years she developed a love for Sonic, but was afraid to tell him. Wouldn't you be afraid to tell your best friend that you're really a girl AND in love with him?
Rouge then walked into the house, followed by Espio then Haze. Haze stopped and saw Shadow. Her eyes widened. Shadow looked up and noticed she was staring at him.
"May I help you?" He questioned calmly. Haze smiled at him and replied,
"You really don't know me, do you?" Shadow got a little irritated.
"Well, we just met." Haze shook her head in response.
"I thought it was a brother's intuition to know when a sister drops by." Everybody's eyes widened but especially Knuckles' and Shadow's.
"WHAT?" Shadow yelled. Haze spread her arms wide and said,
"I'm your long lost sister!" She ran up to him and hugged him. Shadow just stood there in shock. Then she got off him and greeted everybody. Charmy finally spoke up.
"Didn't you attack Espio?" Haze turned to him and nodded.
"Yeah, I did and I'm sorry for that. Ya see, I'm supposed to protect this crystal…" She pulled it out of the non-existent pocket, and showed it to them. "I'm supposed to be its guardian." Vector nudged Knuckles and winked.
"That sounds a little familiar, eh Knux?" Knuckles just huffed but then asked Haze a question.
"Does it have any special powers?" Haze rolled her eyes.
"Well duh! Otherwise, it wouldn't need guarded. It can attack a person with their worst fears. Like Espio and his fear of tiny pieces of glass and rocks being hurled at him." Sonic looked thoughtful for a moment (A/N: Rarity!).
"So… if you used that thing on me, a million Amys would run after me?" Tails chuckled silently.
"If that any way to talk about your fiancé?" Someone retorted from behind him. Sonic turned around and found it was Amy.
"W-what?"
"Yeah! Remember that we agreed if you didn't find a girl before two weeks was up, you'd marry me! Well, I need to buy more clothes. Bye!" Amy happily skipped out the door. Tails made a fist with 'his' hand. 'He' wasn't gonna let that… that wench (A/N: Sorry!) marry Sonic. The Chaotix, Sonic and Tails then left the room.
"So where do I sleep?" Haze queried to Shadow. Shadow stared at her for a second but then figured since she was his sister, he'd let her stay.
"I dunno you just suddenly came so I really don't know… I guess you can stay in Rouge's room if that's all right with her." Shadow turned to Rouge. "Is it ok with you Rouge?" Rouge just nodded. Haze left the room and went upstairs.
Shadow walked over to Rouge. "Look, I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I don't really have… a… thing… for Amy." Rouge crossed her arms and turned away from him so her back was facing him. Shadow's mouth fell open.
"Aw, c'mon! What do I hafta do to make you forgive me?" A sly smile made its way on Rouge's face. She pretended to think for a minute.
"Well…" Rouge said. Suddenly without warning, she whipped around and kissed him on the lips. Shadow's eyes widened in shock but felt himself kiss back. He licked her lips and she opened her mouth to let his tongue in. His tongue and hers started entwining with each other.
Rouge broke the kiss and smirked triumphantly. "Now we're even." Shadow's eyes widened in shock, but Rouge just saluted with two fingers and walked away. Shadow just stood in the living room in shock. Could this day possibly get any weirder?
Why, yes it could and it will.
HSB: OMG, I'm done! My longest chapter yet! 'whew' And if you're all wondering, the Shadow and Rouge kissing was what Chocola almost blurted out in the last chapter.
Chocola: 'in shock' Oh, my head burns. I tried to warn you peeps 'bout the ShadRouge action but HSB was very adamant about not letting you know.
HSB: Damn right!
Chocola: You're so weird…
HSB: I know! And that salute Rouge did was from the game Sonic Heroes at the end of the Team Dark story. And again, I'm sorry 'bout Amy all you Amy fans. You can read my Sonamy story called Love's Surprises if ya want.
Writers Block: Can I come back?
HSB: Go AWAY! I need to write the next chapter.
Chocola: You mean the one with—
HSB: 'covers Chocola's mouth' Don't you dare! Goodbye folks, but remember to review please. No flames please. See ya!
Chocola: NOOOOO!
