Chapter 5: Rouge explains it all.

The blue shaded double doors of G.U.N. H.Q. suddenly bursts open. The majority of its personnel's impatiently made their exit from the briefing room. Men, Women, and Mobians.

All left out in disappointment. Most staff's told themselves and some they could've been doing other things. While the rest just simply said, the superiors or even the G.U.N. commander wished they picked a better day or time than this.

The first half of the meeting started as early as 6:00 a.m. and time now was 11:00 a.m. Remember that's just the first half, everyone was due to take an hour lunch break before the second half which was about another five hours long.

This has to be the most slowest, torturous Tuesday ever.

Along with the herd trying to hurry their way out to enjoy possibly his only break, was Shadow the Hedgehog. "Out of all the last-minute calls we get, this is the far most stupid one. Who cares if some scientists were doing illegal experiments without proper authorization? That's old news. Or if everyone abuse the equipment's, weapons, explosives that is costing millions! Has anyone tried employment termination?" Shadow mentally ranted as he threw his head back at the same time closing his eyes, giving off a deep sigh with a mixture of exhaustion and exasperation.

He wasn't alone going through this. His long time G.U.N. partner, Rouge the Bat also shared the same irritability the black hedgehog was experiencing. Rouge current attire: knee-high dark brown boots, skinny black jeans, long dark brown blouse with one sleeve long and the other short, eye shadow color was lavender and, her lipstick was color skin pink.

Rouge placed both hand's on her hips in insolence and her eyes clenched tightly, head hanging down. "I'd rather steal those phony jewels from a bubble gum machine than be here!"The curvaceous bat attempted to humor herself though still pissy.

While following after the crowd out towards the recreation room through the narrow hallway, Shadow suddenly came to a brief stop and looked down on his feet as if he is trying to comprehend something. It would seem so because his fist started to clench as the he stared harder at his hover shoes.

Sensing that no one was walking right beside her, Rouge also came to a mid-stop and looked over her shoulder with a perplexed look at Shadow. "What's his problem?" She blinked, placing a hand over her head and scratched it. Swiftly turning her whole body around, the jewel thief slowly walked up to Shadow and made a stop in front of him, tilting her head as she raised both her brows playfully. "Shadow, are you with us today? Hello?" Rouge tried to pull Shadow back to the real world.

"..."

No response coming from quiet black hedgehog.

The lovely white bat bend over a little now making eye contact with those scarlet eyes and pulled a sassy smile, thinking that it's already been two minutes since he never moved from that position. "Shaaaaaaadoo-" The jewel thief playfully stretched his name

"I heard you, Rouge!" The dark hedgehog bellowed, finally coming out from his trance

Rouge stomped her foot on the hard floor in fury after he snapped at her. "Well damn Shadow, why didn't you respond the first time when I called your name?" She impatiently asked, folding her arms.

Scarlet spheres slightly narrowed but dropped his facial expression, rubbing the side of his temple while sighing in discontent. "Disregard it, Rouge. It's just me being all self-reserved like usual." He unknowingly admitted his behavior.

Rouge partially gaped her mouth in amazement. "Shadow...that's the first time you EVER admit your personal behavior to anyone. It's usually me or someone else who says that about you and frankly, you normally ignore it." She coughed a laugh, putting a hand over her mouth.

Shadow widened his eyes. "Shit...She's right about that." The dark hedgehog cursed to himself as he turn his head the other direction, scratching his quills.

Rouge smirked, liking the way how she was cornering the black hedgehog. "And what happened in the briefing room is no exception. You kept staring off in space the entire time." Rouge gleefully said, hinting some sort of teasing towards Shadow.

The narrow hallway was now empty as the majority G.U.N. personnel were already in the recreation room, leaving both bat and hedgehog completely alone with one another. Shadow then moved slowing towards the wall and leaned back with his arms on his side, glancing at Rouge with his casual look as she just stood where she was, waiting for him to make the next move.

"And since you point all that out, I suppose you want to pry what's been going on with me. You won't leave me alone until I say something, right?" Shadow said, knowing Rouge all too well.

Rouge playfully nodded at him.

Still leaning on the wall, Shadow began recapping what's been going on for the past few days.

...

Whatever, just be blunt and get it over with.

"Rose is living with me." The ebony mumbled, in discomfort.

There is an awkward silence between the two and next thing happen; Rouge bawled out laughing, crouching over with her hands on her knees. Amy ROSE living with Shadow? That's something totally new to the jewel thief. She's surprised Shadow even allowed it.

Shadow creased his brows and was getting tired of Rouge's laughter already. "Rouge, stop laughing or I'll personally make you stop." He threatened his partner, in hope's she stop.

Rouge rose back up and rubbed the tears from off her eyes. "I'm sorry Mr. Doom and Gloom. It's that what's been bugging you all morning? Having Amy in your house?" She asked, now being serious.

"Teh..." Shadow's ear folded in nuisance yet, pretty much saying "yes" to his bat partner.

Rouge began to ask seeing she's now interested. "So, how did all-"

"Rose got kicked out from her last apartment due to payment difficulty." Shadow said, after cutting the white lovely bat off. "When all her close friend's weren't an option, she came to me thinking that was the only choice she has. I didn't let her in at first till she started tearing down my door." Shadow rolled his eyes, after the last sentence.

The curvaceous bat curled a weird grin on her lip, placing one hand on her hip. "And how are you faring this so far?" She wondered, using her famous sassy tone of voice.

"Not my cup of tea, Rouge. That's why I've been distracted all morning. I'm not the sort of guy who is cut out for these things, especially a woman who I barely hang around with besides yourself." Shadow admitted, off-handedly.

The lovely white bat only shrugged all in while with her eyes closed. "So? It's about time." Rouge pointed out in a wise tone, earning a quick surprised expression from the black hedgehog.

"What do you mean?" Shadow was all ears.

"Well, not just you Shadow. Both you and Amy." Rouge replied, quickly.

The black hedgehog cocked an eyebrow, not understanding what she meant. "I'm still not following." He shrugged nonchalantly, finding a nearby wall and leaning up against it.

Although Rouge puts up a charming smile, that has never stopped her from shaking her head at Shadow's statement.

Knowing no matter how much of a tough guy the black hedgehog acts, he still got a lot to learn about...some things. Sure Shadow was strong-minded, can be insensitive about some things, neutral and, not open to a lot of stuff. But she does know he has a heart and it beats just like any other living being. Rouge just hates the fact he refused to use it all because of where he's coming from and how people portray him.

The lovely white bat walked up and leaned up against the wall, standing next to Shadow. With her hands behind her head and standing to the left of him, both she and Shadow stared towards the wall in front of them still in the very same narrow hallway leading to the recreation room.

Well..someone's gotta knock some sense into the stubborn hedgehog. Even if it's always the jewel thief herself.

"Shadow...there has been some things I've been meaning to tell you for awhile." Rouge calmly broke the silence.

Shadow still glared hard at the very wall ahead of him but was all ears.

"First, I just want to say that I think it's good thing that Amy went to you instead of people she's familiar with." Rouge turned her face at the solemn hedgehog."She needs to get out of her comfort zone from her friends anyway and start interacting with other's she's not used to being around with. Even if it has to be you. I don't know what you're thinking as far as this but, Amy is 17. I see this as a way for her to improve her growth to maturity. I'm glad she found some sort of strength into going to you despite how things were going to turn out for her." The curvaceous bat beamed at the solemn hedgehog.

Shadow's gaze softened and turned his face to the outspoken jewel thief.

"And you Shadow...something needs to be address to you. For the past month in the half, you've gotten...well pretty bad." Rouge prepared to tell truth and nothing but the truth."You're always too quick to get angry. C'mon you have more control than that. I get the whole wanting to be alone sort of thing but, now you made it difficult for me and everyone else to get even near you in H.Q.. You rather have me and yourself perform separate missions instead of together like we used to. And despite how much I've known you, this is the worse I've seen coming from you."

The black hedgehog chest rose and practically exhaled the air out of his lungs.

Rouge continued on, knowing Shadow was hearing every word she is saying. "You bark orders and your interrogation to the suspecting enemy has gotten more violent. When people try to help you or at least tell you what you're doing wrong it's always the 'I'm Ultimate-Lifeform' saying coming from you." She had to grin at Shadow when she mentioned the last part of her sentence.

The lovely white back pushed herself off the wall just to turn her whole body around

"You didn't mind helping others before as long as it was beneficial to you but now you barely help at all. Some people in H.Q. think this has always been you but probably never seen it up until now. Me, I just see it as an awful phase you're going through." She finished, finally.

Shadow couldn't believe this, was he really this bad? Why it took Rouge to tell him all this?

"Who knows, maybe this is fate. For you Shadow, it's not all about withdrawing from everyone and being the solemn hedgehog you are. You're better than that. Maybe you'll learn a thing or two from Amy." Rouge winked, playfully and confidently.

"Rouge..." Shadow whispered, distantly.

"Tell me, Shadow. Since Amy has lived with you, how are things?" Rouge calmly asked.

The ebony shifted his head at the curious Rouge. "We've had our arguments already and insults were being exchange whether I start it or Rose. Then last night she...cooked..." The prideful black hedgehog just didn't want to say it.

"Cook, what?" The jewel thief patiently taps her foot crossing her arms.

Shadow fought to get the sentence out of him.

"She made some sort of beef pie and without telling Rose, it was quite pleasing." There, Shadow said it.

"Ah so she cooks dinner and not only you eat it but like it? I say that's a start. While Amy was trying to get the hang of coexisting with you, maybe you'll tap into your soft side." The prep-talking bat encouraged.

"Rouge, that's absurd." Shadow sneered.

The jewel thief face wrinkled at Shadow's brash behavior. "But you like the pie, didn't you?" Rouge countered, trying not to throw a fit.

Scarlet eyes just nodded his head.

"Shit, then what's your problem? Just open the hell up already and forget about where you're coming from, Shadow. And while Rose is living with you, try learning from her and she'll probably do the same. If you can't take my advice as a friend then, at least from someone who was concerned about your well-being." She finished, rubbing her closed eyes tiredly after explaining all that.

"Rouge, I'll..." The ebony sighed in defeat. "Keep in mind what you just told me. Everything." Shadow acknowledged his bat partner.

"And you're welcome." Rouge mischievously emphasized with a wink, receiving a growl from Shadow. "Now come on, we've hung out in this lonesome hallway long enough. Let's go to the recreation room before we go back to that excruciating meeting." Rouge said, playfully and gingerly.

Both bat and hedgehog walk side by side in silence until...

"Rouge?" Shadow said hiding a chuckle.

He forgot to tell her earlier.

Rouge ears perked up and look at him. "Yeah Shadow? She asked, feeling a bit thrown off by his chuckle.

"Rose told me she thought about staying with you but..." The ebony said, trying to hide his dark snicker.

"Yeah..." She trailed off...

"She said couldn't because your intimacy with that echidna is way out in the opening. And I agree with her. For a top G.U.N. spy, you're not good at keeping THAT a secret." Shadow revealed to his G.U.N. partner, walking ahead of her.

"..."

Uhm.

The jewel thief abruptly stopped with her eyes wide open in disbelief. My Chaos, Amy think so too? Shaking off her bewilderment, Rouge walked faster almost in frantic trying to gain more information from Shadow. "It's..it's not like I do it all the time! What else did she say about me? Shadow, tell me!" Rouge complained, folding back her ears in embarrassment running up behind the devious black hedgehog.

Within the deep woods near the Mystic Ruins region and residents, time right now is 6:48 p.m. It is mildly snowing.

Inside the quiet cozy one story beige house that seems to have only one occupant.

Already in her long white gown for the night after jumping in the shower to get the cold off her body, it has been a long day at the restaurant for Amy Rose. The pink flower lied sideways on the sofa watching her favorite television program.

To her left, the fire chimney provides such warmth in all its glory.

And what else keeping Amy more warmer? The same blanket that Shadow gave her just before dawn this morning. "Did Shadow really gave me this blanket while I was sleep?" The pink flower thought, bashfully.

All the lights were on in the entire room except Shadow's rooms down the lonely dark hallway. Amy didn't bother to even step foot inside his room to see if he had made it home before she did. But then again, she has the only key, right?

Suddenly the front door opens letting out some of the hot air out. This made Amy wrapping the blanket around her even tighter as her eyes spotted the dark individual coming in.

Coming through the door was the handsome black hedgehog himself covered with patches of snow. He looked kind of tired himself but shrugged it of. Amy sat up a bit after lying down.

Shadow closed the door from behind him and locked it, turning his head and leered down at the pink flower who was lying down comfortably on the sofa. "Next time, keep the door lock. Anyone could've walked in on you." He strictly told Amy, watching her look down in shame.

"Sorry bout that, Shadow." Amy sighed, thinking she messed up already.

Shadow only shrugged as he started removing his hover shoes. "Mistakes happen, Rose. It's like you said last night, there's a flaw in everything and everyone. He spoke in a softer tone to the pink flower.

"?"

"Wait, what the hell?" The pink flower awed.

Amy just stared at Shadow in disbelief. He's not gonna make fun of her? Make her feel like crap? No arguments?

Now feeling bare-footed, Shadow walk towards the bathroom to shower for the night. Thank Chaos, Rose went first before he came home. He doesn't have to wait for her.

"Rose? Are you going to make anything tonight?" Shadow politely asked, looking over his shoulder still walking to his destination.

Amy blinked for a bit but jumped back to her composure, placing a hand behind her head, bearing a nervous smile. "Um yea..that is...are you hungry?" The pink flower asked, making sure.

Shadow just smirked, ignoring her question a little. "I'll be in the shower by the way and after that, I'll head to my room. Let me know when you finish cooking." The black hedgehog turned the knob on the door and just before he got in...

"Shadow!"

Amy stopped him.

"What is it, Rose?" He responded, hopefully she asks him quickly. He REALLY wanted to hop into that hot shower.

Amy looked down and fiddled with her fingers, forming a sure blush across her muzzle. "Thank you for...that you know...blanket...that is if you really did..." She gave her gratitude, sounding absolutely bashful.

"Not at all, Rose." He said smoothly.

Finally opening the door, went in and, closing it shut.

Left completely by herself in the living room, Amy was still in doubt of Shadow's new attitude. "Is he sick?" She blinked but suddenly jumped out of her sitting position from the sofa and ran into the kitchen. Getting ready to prepare a good but quick meal, all that was heard in the kitchen was water running, pots and pans clinking all over the place.
