Chapter 3

It was now morning in Rouge's mansion. The treasure hunter was soundly asleep in her bed, lines of black mascara on her cheeks. The light shone through the window and hit her directly in the face.

Rouge's eyes started to open. She looked around for a second, yawned and got out of bed. Lazily, she walked over to her bathroom and shut the door. Rouge took her pajamas off and got into the shower slowly turning the hot water on.

The water slowly began to clean her sad face.

'Why did you have to die Shadow? Why?'

Living Room

Sonic opened his eyes slowly. He looked around for a second and realized he was still on Rouge's couch. On the couch next to him, a female pink hedgehog lay sound asleep. Sonic jumped up and went into the kitchen.

He opened the fridge and took out a carton of eggs and a frying pan out of a cabinet. Turning the stove on, Sonic put the pan on one of the heaters and cracked five eggs into it.

At that point, Amy also awoke and went into the kitchen.

"Good morning Sonic."

Sonic turned to face her before turning back to the eggs.

"Good morning."

Bathroom

Rouge was sitting down in the shower with her arms wrapped around her knees. The hot water still splashing over her body.

'I need to get over him. He's dead and there's nothing I can do about it. Maybe we could go to Twinkle Park. I need to take my mind off him.'

Rouge turned off the shower and got out wrapping her body in a lavender colored towel. She got in front of the mirror and applied some fresh make up. After she was done, she went into her room and put on her Sonic Heroes outfit and walked downstairs.

Living Room

Rouge walked into her living room where she found Sonic and Amy sitting there and eating some eggs.

"You want some eggs Rouge?"

"Sure."

Sonic handed her a plate and she sat down on the third couch eating slowly before she spoke up.

"Why don't we go to Twinkle Park today?"

Amy coughed and Sonic almost spit up his eggs.

"Are you sure Rouge?" Amy asked.

She nodded.

"I need my mind on something else right now, you wanna come Sonic?"

The blue hedgehog nodded.

"Sure I could use the exercise."

The three put their plates down and walked outside to Rouge's Ferrari. After a long silent drive they reached Twinkle Park.

Rouge had a great time and completely forgot about Shadow. They rode roller coasters, ate cotton candy, and rode bumper cars. They all finally sat down at a Café and ordered some soda.

"You having fun Rouge?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah, the most I've had in a while."

Amy and Sonic both smiled.

Unbeknownst to them, a dark figure was watching them from atop Twinkle Tower.
