CHAPTER 47
It was early the next morning. It was the day that Charmy would finally leave for Industrial City. He was at the airport along with Shadow.
The two were standing within the crowded and busy airport.
After Shadow had helped set down some of Charmy's bags on the floor, Charmy turned to him with a smile. "You know you didn't have to do all this."
"I wanted to. This is a big deal here. You're going to be gone for like three years."
Charmy couldn't help but to feel suddenly saddened by the fact that he would be away from all of his friends and family for such a long time. He started to changed the subject before he ended up crying. "So how is Rouge doing?"
The hedgehog sighed as he remembered all of the embarrassing things Rouge had done that previous night while she was intoxicated. "Uh she's fine. She's back at home sleeping off her drunk."
Charmy couldn't help but to crack a smile as he remembered how ridiculous she had acted last night at the party.
Even he had to make a small smile as he remembered everything that had happened. "Sorry for that by the way."
"Heh, it's okay. She was just having fun."
"At least she had fun. I wasn't very thrilled with getting puked on. I was never that bad was I?"
The bee gave him a teasing look. "Well…" He had busted out into laughter before he could even begin to bring up an embarrassing moment when Shadow had been intoxicated. He had saw Shadow beginning to laugh a bit as well. After when they both had laughed together, he had noticed Shadow's sudden serious expression.
"You know?" He spoke, "It's not going to be the same without you around. We're all going to miss your smiles, your laughs…you always knew how to brighten everyone's day with that upbeat personality of yours."
"I'm not leaving forever you know?"
He made a small nod, "I know. You're just growing up so much. I'm proud of you…Vector would be proud of you." He then saw him taking the black helmet off his head and handing it to him. He held the helmet in his hands and gave him a confused look.
He stroked his fingers through his yellow and black hair to spike it up. "I'm not going to be needing that."
A warm smile formed on his lips when he saw him take out the new goggles that everyone had given him from the party last night.
He placed the goggles around his neck and made a wide smile towards him, "I'm no kid anymore." He pointed at himself, "See? I'm all grown up now."
He made a nod, "Yeah you sure are." He leaned over to him and pulled him into a hug.
Tears swelled in his eyes while he hugged him. "Thank you, Shadow. For everything you've done for me."
When he pulled away from him, he saw his eyes filled with tears. "Take care of yourself. And remember no drugs or I'll have to come over there and slap you around some more."
With a warm smile on his face, he picked his luggage off of the floor and began to walk away from him.
With a proud look on his face, he watched as Charmy left to catch his flight.
Meanwhile, Nails had came into Rouge's bedroom and saw that she was twisting and turning in bed. She figured she was awake so she had decided to call out to her. "Finally awake?"
With her head throbbing from her headache, she slowly lifted her head from her pillow and caught sight of the black bat woman in the room. "Nails?" She groaned, "What are you doing here?"
"Before Shadow left to take Charmy to the airport, he wanted me to make sure you were okay."
She lazily rested her head back onto her pillow and groaned. Her ears twitched as she heard Nails loud laughter.
"Still hung over huh? Bitch, you were tore up last night!"
In annoyance, she sat up from her bed and threw a pillow towards her. "Shut up! It's not that funny!"
With how she had weakly threw the pillow at her, she easily dodged it. She giggled as she walked into the bathroom. "Calm down will you? You were just having a little fun that's all."
When she watched her step into the bathroom and started to look at herself in the mirror, she rubbed her forehead tiredly. "Yeah right", she spoke in a low tone. "I made a total ass of myself."
While she looked at herself in the mirror, she started to fix her hair. "Tell me about it. Last night was fucking hilarious! I still can't believe you barfed all over Shadow!"
While she had her hand on her forehead, she slowly shook her head. "Please don't say barf…" She suddenly had that nauseating feeling all over again.
Nails watched as Rouge quickly got of bed and ran into the bathroom. She turned and saw her kneeling her head into the toilet and began to vomit. She turned away from her with a sly look on her face, "You must be going through one hell of a hangover." Her eyes wandered down to the counter until she suddenly caught sight of a pregnancy test. She made a disgusted look. "Ugh gross! Rouge, when did you start becoming such a slob?"
She slowly lifted her head away from the toilet and wiped some of the vomit from her chin. "Huh?"
"You're leaving your used prego tests everywhere!"
"…What? Oh I forgot! After when Shadow left earlier, I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. That was the last one I had."
Nails slowly picked it up from the counter and glanced at it.
Rouge slightly shrugged her shoulders, "Even after Shadow and I agreed not to worry about the whole baby thing anymore, I just said fuck it and used it rather than just throwing it away. There's no point in buying anymore of those damn tests if nothing is going to happen anyway."
She called out to her without taking her eyes away from the test. "Um, Rouge? Did you even look at this?"
She shook her head slowly, "I used it, went to sleep, and forgot about it."
"…Well you should take a look at this."
She slowly stood from the floor and looked over Nails' shoulder to take a look at the test. Her eyes shot open while she stared at it in disbelief.
Nails' hand shook while she held the test and stared at the two lines it had showed. "…Holy crap!"
Before Rouge could say anything, she had suddenly felt sick all over again. She kneeled down in front of the toilet and started to vomit once again.
