Reader: Ahahah XD Shadow is jelly, lol.

werewolf lover99: Kind of? D:

"I..." Shadow looked away from Rouge, blushing.

"You look...good. Now can we go?" He tried to sound calm as ever but he couldn't. The hedgehog wanted to say a lot more compliments on Rouge's look, but oddly, he couldn't.

The bat sighed quietly, a little disappointed that Shadow's reaction.

"Be patient, Shadow!~ I need to buy more outfits." She simply replied, heading to the fitting room.

Shadow's eyes widened again.

"More outfits?! I don't think I can stand all of them." He thought quickly. Shadow had enough. The first one almost gave him a nosebleed, and who in the Mobious knows how many did she mean by 'more' and what would they be like.

But what could he do now? She was already changing in other clothes. And Shadow surely didn't want to disappoint her. Little did he know, he already did a little. All he was able to do, is just seat in this pure pink, fluffy, girly hell. The ebony hedgehog looked around: There were many girls, but none of them weren't even close to be as gorgeous as Rouge was. He then saw, that many of them were winking and smiling at him.

"How disgusting." He thought, shaking his head.

Then, some crazy girl went towards Shadow.

"Hello there, hottie~~" She said in a flirty manner.

"Not interested." Shadow said harshly, as he went away from her.

Oh, that face expression of this crazy girls was just priceless. Shadow smirked to himself, crossing his arms, as he leaned to the wall.

Another hour has passed. Then, Rouge appeared on in the sight, her hands full of colorful bags. There were 25 of them: Shadow counted. She walked to him, smiling.

"Here Shadow, now we can go~" She said, looking at him.

"Finally." Shadow simply replied, as he sighed.

With that, they headed home.

"What took you so long, Rouge?" Shadow asked, as they were walking back to Club Rouge.

"Oh, you know how shopping is~ Besides, there were a lot of girls who wanted to take the same things as I wanted. But unluckily for them, I took the last ones~" Rouge giggled.

Shadow smiled himself.

The ivory bat soon yawned.

"Shopping – is not easy at all. I am tired." She complained, walking a little slower than usual.

"It was your idea to go here, I didn't force you." Shadow replied, walking faster.

Rouge sighed, irritated.

"Aren't you going to wait for me? My legs are sore from walking." Rouge tried to walk faster.

"Fine then. I have an idea." Shadow said, stopping.

Rouge stopped as well, waiting for Shadow's actions.

"What is he up to?" She thought.

Shadow took bags from Rouge, and picked her in his arms.

"Wh-Wha-" The bat didn't realize what's going on.

"If you are that tried, I have to carry you." Shadow replied more kindly, blushing, as he looked forward.

Rouge blushed herself, as she wrapped her hands around Shadow's neck.

"That's so thoughtful of you, Shadow~" Rouge smiled, looking at him.

The hedgehog just nodded, his blush deepened. His heart pounding faster than usual. Shadow liked carrying Rouge in his arms.

And so, they continued their way, until they were at the Club's door.
