This wasn't Rouge's first time visiting her father's company. No in fact she's been her plenty of times when she was little.
She remembered those days when she and her mother would pay suprise visits to Rex and every one would greet them like part of the family.
...
So why is that Rouge was forbidden to be announced with her father? Rouge watched as she was forced to be behind as Rex enter the large conference hall that was set up with round tables and long tabled towards the side filled with fine caterers that served horderves.
Some of the guest found it odd to see Rouge following insted of being by Rex's side, they knew who she was and Rex himself was uncomfortable with just the two foxes sandwiching him between them.
" They are just shocked that you have such a gorgeous wife and daughter " Glenda told him while indicating to Fiona.
Rex turn to Fiona " Fiona dear can you walk by your mother side for a bit' Rex asked the young fox that was latching to his right.
" What ever for Rex?" Glenda asked.
" Well... I just want Rouge to be part of this so its only fair" Rex explained, Glenda quickly turned around giving her step daughter a glare Fiona obeyed and let go of Rex, Rouge saw her father indicated for her to come and take Fiona place.
" There we are" he said hooking Rouge arm around his " My family all together".
Rouge while happy could tell Glenda was going to chew her out for this, The bat decied to remain silent until further notice.
...
Once announced the family were about to take their seats at their assigned table when it turns out Rouge has no spot. insted Rex was seated in between Fiona and Glenda.
" Family and important people only" Glenda hissed at the bat, Rex on the other hand notice the odd seating arrangement and demanded an extra seat was made... Right next to him, So Fiona was moved one down while Rouge got to be seated next to her father.
A waiter came over to take down Rouge order since it was very last minute the bat looked at her dad, Rex was a bit confused , is rogue asking for permission?.
" Get what ever you want pumpkin" he told her.
...
After the meal Rex went over to greet some people Rouge followed for Rex wanted to introduced her to them.
They were two hedgehogs, one was the color of red, her quills were shaped in away the ends were up ward , she wore a purple short sleeve dress that showed off her tan arms that had red stripes on them, she wore black heels and around her neck was a pearl necklace.
she had bangs on her head and bright blue eyes. Next to her was a black hedgehog, he had red eyes matching the females fur color cream colored muzzle , unlike the females his quills were tipped down reaching his middle back, He had a bit of a gut showing under his dress shirt.
The hedgehog wore grey slacks and black dress shes, and poking out from his shirt was a small patch of white fur.
" Harold, Marie" Rex called to the two hedgehogs, Next to the hedgehog was a tan echidna female what wore a cream sleeveless dress that reached to her ankles, her dreadlock were styled with a headband, she had bright blue eyes and cream colored.
" Ah Rex" The hedgeohg called to the bat " so great to finaly meet you" he notice Rouge standing quietly wating to be spoke to.
" Ah so you must be Rouge" Harold reached out his hand to greet her. Before Rouge could shake hands Glenda butted in and shook the hedgehog hand.
" Glenda, Rex's beautiful wife, have you met my daughter Fiona? " Glenda pushed Fiona infront of her to meet the hedgehog " isn't she beautiful?".
" Uh..." Harold looked over to Rex wondering what to do, the hedgehog Marie smiled and brought the echidna female to her side.
" This is our daughter Tikal" she smiled at the fox, the fox looked at her then back at the hedgehog's.
" Really? I thought she was your maid" Glenda started to laugh at her little joke. The hedgehogs and Rex didn't find it funny neither did Fiona or Rouge.
" You got some nerve!" Marie stated towards the fox " how dare you say that!"
" Easy love" Harold quickly told his wife " Im sure it just a mis understanding" He turn to Rex " right?".
" Yes of course" Rex turn to face Glenda, and by the look on his face he was angry at her " Glenda apologise to them right now".
" Oh... " she looked over at the angry hedgehogs " I do apologies" with that she walked away feeling embarassed. Fiona on the other hand went to go get some refreshments.
...
Glenda snuck away to the women's bathroom, she locked the door behind her so no one could get in, reaching into her purse the fox pulled out her phone and started to dial a number.
A phone was ringing, inside of a car was a raccoon, he pulled the phone out of his pocket and answered it
" Yes" he answered
" Good you picked up " Glenda looked back at the door checked to make sure no one was knocking or listening " listen, somehow that nuisance is here, can you come and take her away?"
" Whats in it for me?" The raccon asked.
" Use your head, you have a 17 yeear old do what ever you want with her" Glenda told him. the racoon smiled.
" Intresting... "
" And don't let any one see you, I'll lure her out and give you the signal" Glenda told him on the phone " We'll talk once you arrived" wit that she hung up the phone, unlocking the restroom she exited and went back to the party.
...
" We are just having a good time" Harold told Rex" oh by the way I totally forgot to introduce my son" Harold turn to one corner of the room and called out his son. Walking out from the corner was Shadow. Rouge eyes widen, How is it this guy shows up in placed she doesn't want him to be.
