"Shadow. You ever think we don't spend as much time together?" Rouge asked.

"Well. Why should we? I mean your an annoyance and im just someone who has no business with you whats so ever." Shadow said crossing his arms.

Rouge looked out the window.

"You ever get the feeling something incredibles gona happen?" Rouge asked crossing her arms.

Shadow didn't answere. And there for shut his eyes pretending Rouge wasn't there.

"Shadow?" Rouge asked.

Again no answere.

Rouge shrugged.

"Well im closing up Night Bayblon. Cya smokey." Rouge said waving.

Shadow opened one eye lid. Shadow kept picking out the hite fur he had on his chest.

Why was I made with this fur..? All girls like it. Exsept Rouge and I wonder why...Stupid thing to think about.

Shadow crossed his ars and legs and shut his eyes and slept.

Rouge was in the entrance to Night Bayblon. Shutting off all lights.

But as she walked inside she noticed something peculiar. She walked over into the darkness.

She picked up the package.

Shadow the hedgehog...

Was smeered on it. Rouge took it inside. Just as she did. It began to storm.

"Shadow?" Rouge shouted threw the kitchen.

Shadow lift one eye lid and looked her direction.

"What..?" He mumbled.

Rouge threw the package on Shadow's lap. Giving him a small jump.

"For you." Rouge said. And she walked upstairs.

Shadow rubbed one eye and cut the tape off with his finger. Ripping it down the box part. And threw it behind his back. He opened the flaps and saw something he never really cared for.

He lift up the object and looked at it.

"Just a stupid shell on some string.." Shadow said. And he tied the string together around his neck and looked at it from his chest.

"Some joke..?" He thought.

He didn't bother to wonder much about it. He put the box aside him and went back to sleep. Still, with the necklace around him.

Rouge's room.

Rouge got her put on her sleep clothes and hung her robe up. She lookedout the window. There was hard rain and darkness outside Night Bayblon.

She turned the light on and jumped in bed. She covered up and held a book and read it untell she fell asleep. Something wouldn't stop nagging her.

Downstairs.

A blast of lightning woke Shadow up. He opened his eyes and un folded his arms and his legs uncrossed.

He got up and stretched and looked out the window. Blasts of lightning roared from the dark skies. Blinking threw the glass window.

"Ahh..no.." Shadow moaned. He held his arm tight and sat on the couch.

Stupid lightning..

Shadow grabbed the remote and points it to the TV. (On button) But the TV didn't make that noise that it was on.

"Stupid TV.." Shadow mumbled.

He threw the remote next to him and slumed on the couch.

Another blast of thunder came form the skies.

Shadow looked tward the window but didn't walk to it. Still grasping his arm at the sight of it.

Rouge slowely walked down the steps. Shadow heard the creeks from the stairs and looked tward it. Shadow had some sweat going down his face.

He saw some slippers walking down. (purple)

Rouge had a lanturn and she walked all the way down.

"Shadow are you alright?" Rouge asked making it lighter.

Shadow made an angry look.

Just Rouge.

"I'm fine.." Shadow answered.

Rouge placed the lanturn on the TV. She sat next to Shadow.

Shadow looked away.

"You sure your okay?" Rouge asked.

"I'm..ugh...fine." Shadow said turning away. He crossed his arms.

Rouge's eye brows went up.

"Good..Just that the storms rough and I thought-"

"I said im fine Rouge." Shadow mumbled.

"Well..I for one was alittle scared..Glad I could admitt it." Rouge said blushing.

Shadow rolled his eyes.

"And what do you want me to do about it..?" He asked.

"Well...I was hoping maybe I could stay down here with you..Company.." Rouge said quietly.

Shadow's eyes focused on the bat girl.

"I don't think so.." Shadow asnwered as he got up.

Rouge frowned.

"Thanks for caring.." Rouge mumbled. And she crossed her arms.

Shadow walked into the kitchen. He just remembered he had the shell necklace hanging from his neck..

"Hmm.." He thought.

"What is that?" Rouge asked.

"I got it from the package you threw on me." Shadow asnwered,

"What's it do? Who's it form?" Rouge asked.

Shadow shrugged.

Rouge took a look at it.

"Don't get any funny ideas.." Shadow said.

"What? It just seems interesting." Rouge said putting her hands behind her back.

Shadow shook his head.

Another blast of lightning filled the room.

Rouge jumped alittle and grabbed Shadow's hand.

Rouge slowely looked up at Shadow. Shadow looked at Rouge and made a dry look.

Rouge jumped away.

"Hehheh..um..my bad,..." Rouge said blushing.

Shadow looked around.

Another blast filled the room again.

The lanturn went out.

"Um..uh oh." Rouge said.

"Rouge. Your touching my shoulder..." Shadow said moving away.

"Oh gosh sorry." Rouge said.

Shadow walked around feeling the wall.

"Found it." Shadow said picking it up.

"It's broken.." Shadow said with a dry look.

Rouge did a small gulp.
