Reader: Hey! :D I am glad you enjoyed it ^o^ #Brofist

«How long am I wasting my time?" The ebony hedgehog sighed, as he had his hand under his chin, sitting on the bench in the mall.

"It takes her forever!" He exclaimed, crossing his arms.

Shadow was not happy. He was mad at the ivory bat. The hedgehog was dragged by Rouge all the way to here. And by here, I of course mean – the mall. Shadow hated malls. He always said that there were too many of these 'pathetic human beings'. And there were also a lot of weirdos here. Then, the other thing he hated about this place, is a lot of different stores with clothes. What was exactly bothering him, is that these salesmen were doing everything for people to waste their money on the production. And it was always working. Even Rouge went to the mall because they had new clothes and the price of these clothes was lowered on like 5%.

"Colorful, stupid, dumb rags, that all of the meat-bags wearing, thinking it's beautiful" Shadow muttered, as he sighed.

The treasure huntress left the hedgehog outside one of the shops. She promised him it won't take her long. Rouge went to one of those clothes stores. And wasn't returning for almost an hour.

Suddenly, Shadow's eyes shot wide open.

"What if someone kidnapped her, and I am just wasting my time sitting here?!" He thought, almost standing up.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, it left, making Shadow groan.

"I am too overprotective..." Shadow whispered to himself, literally face-palming himself, as he sat back

"Shadow, come here for a sec~"

The hedgehog's ears perked as he heard his ally's voice from the clothes store. He quickly entered it. And what he saw almost made him blind... Everything was so girly, pink and fluffy. What could be worse than that?! And how did Rouge manage to find a place like this for shopping clothes. Shadow then tried to find her, but she was nowhere to be found. And there were also a lot of girls, women chattering like Amy... Like thousands of Amy's. They didn't seem to notice The Ultimate Lifeform, which was a relieve. After clearing his throat, Shadow asked:

"What is it Rouge?"

The chattering suddenly stopped, as his voice rang louder that Shadow expected. They all looked at Shadow, swooning and sighing after they saw him and heard him as well. Shadow groaned, as he looked down.

He then heard a rustling sound. The hedgehog turned his head to the sound.

"What do you think of this one?~" Rouge asked, as she walked away from the fitting room. She swayed her hips and stroke a pose, made Shadow's mouth a little hanging down a little.

Rouge The Bat, was now wearing long black boots with red hearts on them; black shorts with golden trimmings; red tank top with black hearts on it, and a pair of black-golden gloves.

She decided to match Shadow's color pattern, that's why she chose black, red and a little of gold color.

Poor Shadow almost had a nosebleed. He blushed crimson red as he looked at her outfit. Strangely, but red and black colors matched Rouge's ivory fur and saphire (emerald) eyes.

"So?~" Rouge asked, stepping closer to Shadow.
