"AMY! You almost told Shadow I loved him!" A very irritated bat yelled.
The pink hedgehog only rolled her eyes in response and huffed. Rouge put a hand to her forehead and cleared her thoughts. If Shadow ever found out that she loved him, it would possibly ruin their friendship and more importantly lose him. Of course their was also the possibility that Shadow loved her back, but that thought was completely ridiculous.
"Why don't you just tell him?" Amy's voice suddenly blurted out, snapping Rouge out of her thoughts.
Rouge looked at Amy wide eyes, as if Amy had grown two heads, "Are you crazy? It ruin our friendship, and more importantly it would leave me with a crushed heart."
The bat-girl pointed to her heart and gave a sad look at the Rose hedgehog, Amy crossed her arms and gave Rouge a glare. "Since when did the famous, deadly treasure hunter become soft. OVER a guy. Huh?"
Rouge's blue green eyes widened, had she gone soft? She was strong, selfish, sexy, and confident. Never had she shown sympathy for anybody, she had only showed it when it came to saving someone's life and after that she would insult them. No, Rouge the bat was not soft, but now that she thought about it, she'd only showed her nice side towards Shadow. And the only reason why she flirted with Knuckles was to get that precious Master Emerald of his. She shuddered at just the thought of her actually liking Knuckles. It even pained her to even pretend to like that knucklehead.
"I'm not soft." Rouge said below a whisper.
Amy sighed, she may not have been the best person to tell a secret to, but Rouge and her were good friends, and Amy would do anything for her bat friend. Except help steal a jewel, the rose hedgehog scrunched up her face in disgust as if a bad odor had filled the room. Amy remembered the first time the bat had actually asked her to distract the guards at the Museum of Jewels, so Rouge could get her manicured hands over the pretty rubies and diamonds in that museum. Of course Amy refused and told the bat-girl to get a new hobby, one that didn't involve any jewels. The only response to that was a scoff and couple of gunshots and shouts from the guards.
Amy out her hand on Rouge's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile, "Rouge does it matter if you gone soft? I mean you're the only one who can actually stand Shadow's attitude. Plus who made him see differently after he thought he had no place in this world?"
Rouge still looked down, how can Shadow the hedgehog love her back? Her ears were folded back and she had shimmering tears fall down her cheeks. She never doubted anything before, so why was she doubting this? If Rouge wanted, well hell she was going to get it! Even if it got her hurt in the end.
Finally Rouge stood up straight and her ears were pointed up, and her blue green eyes had twinkle of mischief in them. The pink hedgehog smiled with appreciation, now this was the Rouge Amy knew and admired. "Come on Amy. I've got a hedgehog to catch." Rouge yelled as she walked back outside to the party.
Amy smirked and ran after the determined bat, Amy didn't how far Rouge was going to go, but she knew that Rouge wasn't going to push Shadow into what Amy does with Sonic. But Amy also knew that Rouge always got what she wanted in the end, with a couple of cuts and bruises to.
Rouge spotted Shadow over by one of the food tables, coolly leaning against it, arms folded across his chest, eyes staring out into nothing particular. Rouge practically drooled in front of everybody, as she got a good look at his eight pack behind all that fur. She smirked, oh yes, this hedgehog was definitely on her to go menu. She puffed out her chest, and walked over to the sexy black hedgehog, swaying her hips side to side.
Shadow didn't know exactly what Amy was going to blurt out that Rouge got so nervous about but he didn't like secrets. He'd been kept from his past for than who knows how many years and was bribed into getting them, so yes he hated secrets. Of course he was smart enough to know that Rouge hid many secrets from him, but none that were so interesting as the one Amy almost revealed. Shadow took a good look around his so called 'friends" and smirked at them. They were not his friends, he had only three true friends, and that were Maria, Omega, and Rouge. Well they did help and support him through his time of need, so he guessed they were his friends.
Shadow's eyes wondered around the crowd looking for a particular face, he just wanted to talk to bat-girl about the secret Rouge was hiding from him. Course it really wasn't very polite to go in on somebody's personal life, the hedgehog scoffed, since when was he polite? Sure most of the mobian women were after him, cause of his looks, and sexy bad ass attitude, he knew that, and didn't quite appreciate it. Is this how Rouge felt when it came to guys liking her for only her body and looks? Wait minute was he calling Rouge sexy? I mean sure when he first saw her, he thought she was rather attractive but now that he had gotten to know her over the years he was actually calling her sexy instead of attractive.
As Shadow kept pondering over his thoughts, he eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw Rouge walking towards him, he fairly large chest sticking out and swaying her luscious hips from side to side. Wait did he just call her hips luscious?
Shadow had a shocked face but afraid she notice quickly put back on his regular moody face. He really didn't feel like getting slapped in the face if Rouge caught him staring at her… "puppies".
When Rouge finally reached Shadow, she mentally frowned when she saw he still had his regular moody face on. Damn it. Any man would be staring at my breasts if I were standing right in front of them! Even if I didn't do that little dance I did for Shadow. Stupid hedgehog. Rouge thought as she smiled warmly at Shadow.
"Hi Shadow." She said with a small wave of her hand.
Shadow nodded and simply said, "Bat-girl."
"Well this little get together is almost done why don't we go back home?"
Shadow's eyes nearly sparkled with excitement as heard those words. "Really? We can go back home? Right now?"
Rouge smiled and nodded. Just as Shadow was about to thank the generous bat, Sonic came rushing to the both of them and wrapped his arms around their necks.
"Were heading to club in the middle of town. There's lights, hip hopping music and some sexy chicks and guys. You guys coming?"
Rouge was about to kick the blue hedgehog what made him male, but then a brilliant idea came to mind. "Sure why not? Shadow and I will be there."
Sonic smiled a toothy grin and went back to the small party behind him. Shadow stared unbelievably at the white bat. She just told him, that they could go home no less than a minute ago, and now she says there going to a party. What was wrong with her?
Rouge eyed the stunned hedgehog with a smirk, and innocently said, "What?"
"You just said we could go home. Now were going to a party? I don't think so." Shadow replied as he started walking away from the shocked bat.
"Fine but if you leave. I'm not cooking your meals anymore." Rouge said simply as she found her nails to be quite interesting to look at.
The Ultimate Life Form, stopped dead in his tracks, no more meals? No more cherry baked pie fresh out of the oven? No more shrimp cocktail that Rouge made to perfection?
Damn that bat-girl. I can't cook for my life. And now she's willing to end my life all because I won't freaking go to a club? Oh how sometimes I hate her.
"Fine. I'll go. You annoying bat." Shadow muttered the last part about her being annoying but Rouge's ultra hearing picked it up.
"I heard that. You damn hedgehog." Rouge come backed as she stuck out her tongue playfully. Shadow smirked and chuckled, Rouge always made him laugh somehow.
