Rouge and Shadow were sitting still. Looking down and having their own thoughts. "But why? Why did Rouge save me?" Shadow thought, confused. "I hadn't any Chaos Emeralds with me...So, that wasn't because of gems, was it?" He still thought. Little did he know, that he was blushing all along. He looked at Rouge. She was sitting, looking down. Shadow then closed his eyes. He lost track of thought when Rouge's phone rang. The bat quickly picked it. "Rouge is on the line~" She said. Shadow rolled his eyes. Rouge threw him a glare. "Hey Rouge, it's Amy!" The ivory bat smiled. "Hey there Amy! How are you?" "I am great and you, Shadow?" Rouge smiled. "He is great, and I am great as well." "Cool! Rouge, I think we need to do something fun. I mean, Sonic and Shadow are back and-" "Oh, I know!" Rouge said. She then went upstairs. "How about we throw them a party!" Rouge suggested, whispering. "Sweet! I'd like that! But why are you whispering?" Amy asked, confused. "Because I don't want Shadow to spoil our surprise party. I am upstairs now and he is in the living room." "Oh, okay! We need to send Shadow somewhere. I mean, the party will be in your club, right?" Rogue smiled. "Of course, Amy! And we can send Sonic and Shadow to the mall. Like to buy some food. Because somebody emptied my fridge." Rouge said, pouting. "Oh, hehe, he didn't mean to." Amy replied, sweat dropping. The bat sighed. "Fine, so when I would make Shadow go to the mall, I'll call you, 'kay?" "Sure! Bye!" Amy said, exciting. "Bye!" Replied Rouge. "Now, I have to make Shadow go out...Hm, that would be hard..." She thought, going to the living room.
"Hey~" Rouge said, as she sat on the couch where was the black and crimson hedgehog. "What now?" He replied, looking at her. "Oh, nothing~ I just thought that you need to go out and breathe fresh air~" Rouge said casually. "Why?" He cocked an eyebrow. "Well, didn't you miss Knucklehead or others?~" Shadow snorted. The bat became annoyed. "Why don't you go to the mall and bye some food?~ Big Blue ate everything we had~" She replied, dramaticly. "Then why doesn't he go instead." The hedgehog replied. He had a good point. "But Shadow, please~" Rouge asked him. "No." He said, frowning. Rouge got closer. "Please?~" "No." He sounded more irritated. Rouge then smirked and whispered in her most sexiest tone. "Please, Shadow~" That cause The Ultimate Lifeform to blush slightly. He pushed her and stood up, walking away slowly. "Damn that bat." He thought, still blushing. He walked to the front door, slamming it. Rouge smirked. "That's what I thought~ But he looked cute~" She said. "Wait, what?! He is what?!" She closed her mouth, blushing. "You need to rest, Rouge." She thought. "you are just tired." She assured herself. Rouge took the phone out and called Amy. "Shadow is out." Rouge began. "Wow, that was fast!" Amy replied, surprised. "What can I say? I am too good in these sort of things!" She replied, laughing. Amy laughed along.
Shadow was walking outside. He was still mad at Rouge. "Why does she think she can make everyone do what she wants to?!" He thought, as he looked around. The hedgehog had no idea where he was going. He was a little confused. Why did Rouge send him away? That's not like he didn't want to leave Rouge's club... "But the couch was soft." He thought, then face palmed himself. "I think I am getting older.." Shadow thought once more. "Hmph. Whatever." As he was thinking, he then felt someone patting his back. And then...SLAP! "Hey Shadster! Long time no see, eh?" Shadow herd a familiar voice. Sonic looked at Shadow, smiling. Shadow shot him a death-glare. "Don't you dare doing that again!" He threatened. "Or I'll Chaos Control the hell out of you, Faker!" Sonic shrugged. "Why are you walking here alone? Did you bother Rougey that much?" Sonic smirked slyly. Shadow was taken aback, his eyes widening. Rougey?! "How dare you, blue idiot, call her like that!" He almost shouted. "Oh, what's the problem?" Sonic said, almost laughing. Shadow took a deep breath. "Just go away..." He said lowly. "Geez Shadow, calm down, will you?" Shadow groaned. "I am walking to the mall because you ate all the food, moron!" Shadow replied, entering the mall. Sonic followed him. "Oh, sorry, Shadz. Well, then I'll help you!" He said, putting his thumbs up. "Oh, you don't have to! That's too kind of you." Shadow tried to sound friendly, but infortunately he was sounding the opposite. That sounded like a threat. "No, Shadow, I insist." Sonic replied, smirking. Shadow rolled his eyes. "Someday Sonic, someday I'll kill you." He thought.
