Rouge's P.O.V.
I looked over myself in my hallway mirror for the fifth time that night, checking to see if I needed something else to spice it up more, or to leave it the way I was as it was already spicy.
I needed to make sure I look perfect tonight. Don't even think about askin' me why 'cause I know I'll say somethin' stupid, like tryin' to empress the echidna. Dammit…
Ok...forget I said that and let's move on to what I'm wearing tonight.
Looking from the feet up, I had dark purple wedge type shoes on, with diamonds near the toe area. Looking further up, I gave a smile full of pride with the dress that I had chosen. It was a dark purple silk dress that went just above the knees that flowed down my body making me, if I must say so myself, look fabulous. Little straps were supporting my dress at the shoulders, making sure the dress didn't slide off showing more than what I want shown. I had taken off my elbow length gloves and replaced them with white hand gloves with silver bracelets. As for my accessories, I had placed a diamond necklace round my neck, resting just below my collar bone. Last but not least, I had put diamond earrings in which matched my necklace. My make up was the exact same, except I had replaced aqua blue eye shadow for a deep purple. I really suit dark purple. Well, that's what people tell me anyways.
I was pacing up and down my hallway, the nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach growing each time I heard a tick from my living room clock. Why was I so nervous? Was it because I thought that Knuckles would hate the sight of me? Was it because I thought that he would ignore the fact that I'm in the room, possibly right next to him, missing the glances I'll steal at him? Dammit, why are guys so confusing?!
I stopped pacing and stood in the middle of the corridor, counting to ten as well as breathing in deep, long breaths.
Ok… So I'm feeling a bit better after that. I smiled at myself, knowing I was being completely stupid. I've never been nervous around him. On missions, visits on the Island, the torture I gave him a couple days ago.
I smirk at the mentioning of that little… scene. I'll try not to bring up the topic tonight, but there's no guarantee…
As, somehow, my mind slipped away from the thoughts, I became nervous… again! Why the hell am I so nervous about this stupid fancy get together anyway?! It just doesn't make any sense! And why the hell is Tails even having this 'fancy get together'? I'll have to remember to ask him…
Just when I was calm and thought I was ready, I heard a car horn outside, giving me, more or less, a heart attack. That's when those damn nerves kicked in again! I then heard another horn outside. I must have been stuck in my thoughts longer than what I thought. Thinking it was best to quickly get my coat and hand bag, as Amy can be very impatient at times.
I walked over to my front door with the keys in my left hand. I then placed my hand on the door knob, but then stopped. I looked over my shoulder and took one last glance at the rooms I could see from the door, thinking maybe I should back out of this thing. Amy was already here, so that options out. I sighed and then continued to open the door and shut it. I waved my hand towards the car, signalling I would be a minute. I locked my door, walked down the path and stepped into Amy's black Renault.
I stepped into the car, strapped myself in, and headed for Tails'. I knew I did good, hiding my emotions I was feeling at the moment, seeing as Amy talked non stop about anything and everything. I ain't complaining though. It's nice to be around Amy when you've been alone for a bit. She gives you comfort and confidence. Even though I didn't need confidence… Obviously.
She stopped talking for, maybe a minute or so, which was nice. I couldn't even remember what she told me ten minutes ago. Yeah, that's how much stuff she talks about. You don't even remember what she said before!
But what took me by surprise was what she asked me after the silence.
"You're nervous 'cause Knuckles is goin' to be there, huh?" She gave me a knowing glance, as I gaped at how on earth she could have figured that out!
"What?! Hell nah! Why would I be nervous if Knucklehead's there?" I really tried to sound convincing.
"'Cause you like him and you want him to notice you badly, so you put on the hottest dress you had… Am I right?"
I scoffed. Half because she was right and half because I don't want her to even think about me liking Knuckles…
"First part, no. Second part, yes. I did put on my hottest dress in the wardrobe." Heh, nice save Rouge…
She scoffed, making me turn my head, fully facing her.
"C'mon, Rouge. Everyone knows you and Knuckles have a thing for each other!" She smiled brightly at me, as if trying to pry my answer out.
"Well we don't! We're just good friends! He likes someone else anyways…" I started yelling, but then whispered the last part out. It was as if I had lost a race or somethin'! I don't even know why I got so down when he said that he liked someone else. Maybe I do…
Get a grip bat girl! Don't start letting your guard down! There's no way, on the face of this earth, or mobious, that you like Knuckles the Echidna!
…Then what the hell is this feeling?!
Urgh, I'm 23 years of age and I still have problems with hormones…
"Just talk. Find out more about who this chick is. You'll find that it's maybe you he's describing…"
Amy may be a chatter box and a clumsy git at times, but she sure as hell gives good advice.
"It wouldn't hurt to ask him to describe her, would it?"
"He's already described her." I answered in a flat tone, not really wanting to go further into the matter.
"Well, ask him again. Listen closer this time. You may find somethin' you like…" She turned to face me, giving a wink before casting her eyes back onto the road.
I thought about what Amy said. 'Listen closer this time…'
"Ya know, Ames. For a chatter box and a clumsy git at times, you really do give good advice."
I had to stifle a laugh. She looked half offended and half happy.
"Ok, thanks for the compliment. And eat my shorts for the insult."
I looked down to her lap.
"You don't have any shorts to be eaten." I looked up smirking at my smart ass comment.
"Smart ass…" She said, chuckling at me.
I switched on the radio to relax a bit before goin' to Tails'. We sung and danced in our seats, giggling at our own stupidity, until we pulled up at Tails' drive way.
Amy took her car keys, picked up her bag and faced me with a reassuring smile on her lips.
"Ready?"
I really loved the reassuring smile Ames gives. It gives me the confidence back when it's needed the most.
"Hell yeah." I answered firmly, a smirk forming on my lips. The confidence I lost half an hour ago, was replaced with a cocky and happy confidence. Tonight I'm gonna found out who this chick was. Whether he wanted it the easy way, or the hard way…
