Shadow: (In a hallway, as knuckles passes him) Hey, echidna, you'd better make your move on the bat if you have any intentions of having a relationship with her. (Knux: Ha-What? (Shadow: Rouge. She said she thinks I'm hot, er, at least when I'm laughing maniacally. (Knux: (slightly depressed) Well, why would she think that? (Shadow: beats me, but my point is, that if you don't hurry up and do something, she'll start acting the same way Amy does towards Sonic, but towards me. (Knux: Oh! Well, thanks, I guess. I'll go talk to her before the next scene. (Shadow: you have five minutes to find her... and get dressed for your part, and get through the talk, and get to the set, and– (Knux: okay, okay.

A/N jimmy cracked corn and I don't care. But what I do care about, that no one seems to get, is that I NEED REVIEWS! THEY FUEL ME. If I ONLY HAVE TWO PEOPLE THAT ACKNOWLEDGE THEY READ MY STUFF, ONE BEING OBSESSED WITH A TOPIC THIS STORY ISN'T EVEN ABOUT, THEN I WILL GO INSANE.

Fallen Angel: Chapter 4: Blush, orRouge?
As Shadow continued his trek to Rouge's home, he began running again. He tried to regain his former speed, but his effort was futile. His break from running before had eliminated the stored power in is air shoes' cells.
Blast!
Ever impatient, he reached for the familiar green jewel in his bag.
CHAOS CONTROL 101 WITH ME, CHAOTIC PSYCHO
The power of the chaos emeralds is not an extensively explored field. So although little is known frequency and regenerative properties, the knowledge of how to transfer their near limitless energy is common to many semi-humans. By focusing on the aforementioned 'frequency,' one can transfer the energy from an emerald into their body. In 'warp control,' the user transfers energy into their body, then expels it in a given direction, which forces the body in the opposing direction. The potency of the energy is so high that the body's molecular structure becomes unstable. It forces the body to disassemble as it travels at speeds exceeding that of light. As they cut the expulsion of energy, their body rematerializes from the center out. The large flashes of light are a side effect of not totally controlling all energy withdrawn from the emerald.
Chaos Control can also be used to power mechanical devises. Machines created by Miles Prower and Ivo Robotinic can regulate the energy flow from an emerald to a machine to successfully and safely power otherwise too demanding machines. When powering a machine, the amount of energy must be accurate to the nearest 10-50, or catastrophic results such as super heating and combustion may occur. Thus, it is almost impossible, and largely beyond reason for a life form to attempt to serve as a catalyst for mechanical fuel with chaos emeralds without suffering severe consequences. Unfortunately, Shadow Robotnic has not read this excerpt and has no clue that he could kill himself should he be off by a mere fraction of energy when transferring.
He gathered energy inside of his body as he usually did, but focused it low into his legs and lower torso. In a flash, he transferred it into his shoes. By the chance of a miracle, they didn't explode. They did, however, activate and begin to rotate at RPMs you couldn't possibly imagine. Shadow was taken off guard, and shot like a drunken missile in every conceivable direction. Including up, and down. After rising aimlessly, the shoes finally shot him down, and shut off just in time to let him fly face first into the dirt. "oh, son of a... ugh." He realized that he had momentarily abandoned his cold emotionless tendencies, and calmed down as if nothing had happened.
Then, a small stroke of genius whipped through him, inspired from his fumbling flight. He went over and picked up the chaos emerald and instantly warped. He was gone, just like a snap.
He reappeared in a place unfamiliar to non-Avian life: the sky. His latitude and longitude did not differ from their previous, but his altitude had increased by about a mile. As the wind swept through his quills and sent unanswered chills down his back, he stared down on the town below. His eyes followed every feature, looking for something larger than an ant. Then he saw it. A beetle on a cliff. A large mansion, just the sort of thing Rouge would have to show off how rich she is. He vanished again, and reappeared about thirty yards In front of Rouge's front door step.
He was welcomed by some small un-humanoid fruit bats flying out of a nearby cave, and flapping around his head like a swarm of bees. They were obviously startled by the light emitted from chaos control, but Shadow didn't care. He was just annoyed by them. "Get back you foul demons!" he yelled to them as he attempted to chop them out of the sky.
He swore at one after he was bombarded by a round of guano. But he was cut of mid insult by a high pitched, barely audible sound that filled the area. The 'Flying Demons' calmed down and flew back to their perch (cave). Shadow looked around to see Rouge standing in the doorway to the red mansion with her mouth open, and he guessed she was the source of the noise. She stopped to breath for a moment, then spoke, "Well, I see you met my pets. Did you like them?"
The spiny creature groaned and replied, "Not particularly. Got a towel?" he motioned at his quill which now sported a small brown spot.
She went inside for literally three seconds, then returned and handed him a rag. "Sorry about that. I keep a bin full of rags for this kind of thing just inside. You can probably tell it happens a lot."
"Yeah. They'd better not try it again to me, or I'll blast them out of the sky." Rouge gave him a look of disapproval, but he continued, "Anyway, it's nice to see you again."
"Oh now your pleasant. Come inside, and talk with me for a while." They went inside, then Rouge led the way through the entryway and into the large living room.
Lame drawing of rouge's living room:
I tried doing a drawing, but it didn't work at all. if you are that desperate to know exactly what it looks like, E-mail me (not provate message, E-mail), and I'll send you the lame little map.
The first thing to note was that the entire house was decorated in red, Rouge's favorite color. From the living room, there was a large grand staircase that led to an upstairs hallway with one wall. You could see the guest rooms from the lower room by looking at this hallway. The living room itself had a high vaulted ceiling, with windows on the wall near the ceiling. In the center of the room, there was a rather large concave couch pointing towards a TV with dimensions approximated at 4' x 5'6". On ether side there were end tables, and behind the couch was a coffee table with nice cushiony chairs pulled up to it. To the rear of the television, there was a fireplace with fireside book-reading chairs facing each other, but slightly tilted toward the already prepared fire. This is where Rouge chose to talk with him. "Sit, sit" she said. So Shadow sat, sat. Meanwhile, she continued, "So what have you been up to lately?"
Well, I've hurtled through the many layers of the atmosphere, been through an unsettling trip to the bank, and stuffed myself with real solid food for the first time in years." he said in response. Rouge made cracked a few laughs at this, but shadow was totally serious. He went on, "On top of that, I was just flung like a stone into the hard cold earth, and, erm, marked by one of your pets. Other than that, I've been searching for answers on board the ARK."
"I don't know how you do it Shad. You're the only person I know who can remain focused like that for five years. Do ya think we could run a scam on staring contests together?" she proceeded to laugh at her own joke.
To humor her, He replied, "Depends. What's my cut?"
"Oh Shadow, your so sly sometimes it makes me look normal." Silence. She began again, "So to what do I owe the pleasure of having you back on earth by my fire?" (In other words, what brings you here?)
Shadow paused, to get the wording correct, then spoke, "I'm doing a little soul searching."
"But, wasn't that what you were doing on the ARK?"
"Damn." He thought, but he continued in normal speech anyway, "It's a, uh, different kind of searching."
Rouge stared at him in the silence. Her eyes were open, instead of half closed like they usually were. He knew exactly what she was thinking, and had already begun to pnic on the inside. Her small line of a mouth gradually turned into a smile, then she began to speak in a triumphant, yet sneaky tone, "I know what you're doing." She paused, and Shadow became uneasy, and almost squirmy. "You're not soul searching" she paused again, and Shadow could tell that she knew he was suffering inside right now, and that she was enjoying every second of it. She knew. He knew she knew, but he would deny, deny, deny. He began running through his usual 'stay cool' talk to himself Shadows point of view come on Shadow. Keep yourself in check. Don't blush, don't sweat, don't stutter. Just ice the whole thing. You are a rock! end shadow's pov Rouge began again, "Uh huh!. You're not soul searching, you're soul-mate searching! Ha. That's it, right, I knew it."
Shadow, now calm, responded, "I don't know what you're talking about, Rouge"
"You're bluffing. I could see it in your eyes, your face, your body, you were quivering the whole time. Then she got up and asked, "So? Who is it?"
"What?"
Then she played the baby talk card, "Its ok Shadie! I won tew nobody. Weawy!" she said as she walked behind shadow's chair. He just shrugged, which convinced her of it. She resorted to a new tactic: she bounced around shadow quickly while saying quick annoying statements like, "who is it, you can tell me, it'll be our little secret. I won't tell any body, common, you can trust me!" And so on.
Finally, Shadow growled in frustration, and replied rather angrily, "Ya wanna know who I'm after? Fine, I'll tell you!" rouge was now smirking in a way that says, 'hah, I knew I was right!' Shadow continued, "Yo MAMA!"
Rouge was shocked for a moment, then scowled and replied, "That wasn't a very nice thing to say!"
"Butting into personal affairs isn't nice either"
"Oh, so you admit it!"
"What, wha, don't change the subject."
"Okay, but keep in mind, (she was still smirking in the way previously described) I'm a spy, and I'll figure it out one way or another!" she winked at him and turned around, and began to leave the room, briefly motioning for him to follow.
No comment on this chapter. Except for that Rouge is difficult to write for correctly. And that I feel like I rushed this chapter. I might redo it later
