FEIGN FABLE FIASCO!!: DYNAMICAL DUO’S  DAUNTLESSNESS!!!     Back in the deserted town of Station Square, Rouge the Bat joyfully treated herself to a stealing spree inside all the banks and museums she could find. With no people around, getting caught for doing what she did best was the least of her worries. “This is almost too good to be true!” she chirped, while looking around in the latest bank she came across, with a bag nearly full of jewelry in it.  “5 pounds in only two hours! I’m going to remember this day for the rest of my life!” As she went further inside, a sparkle of a rare and expensive gem caught her eye. With a smile, Rouge flew over to the giant sapphire before her, sealed in glass. With a dreamy look in her eyes, she eyed it for a moment, then gave the glass that surrounded it a kick. Without much effort, one swipe split the glass and she eagerly grabbed the jewel. “So beautiful…” she mumbled, looking at it. “3 places down, 27 more left to go! This is TOO easy!” she cheered. Putting the jewel in her bag, she began to run out of the bank, when her phone vibrated. Alarmed, she fumbled with grabbing it and ended up dropping it in the middle of infa-red cross lines she had avoided on the way in---setting off the alarms, and triggering an internal lock –down. “Just great! Who in the world would be calling me, now?!” Rouge yelled. Ignoring the beams, Rouge irritatingly scooped up the phone and yelled into the receiver: “HOLD ON!” By that time, the walls had already been sealed shut around her, and began to steadily close in on her. “…Not bad…” she uttered, sarcastically, then tapped the floor with the toe of her boot. “It’s slate. …Not a problem…” With that, she stood on one foot, then performed her Drill Drive move into the floor, digging deep into it and disappearing from the room right before the walls completely closed in. * “What’s she doing?” Shadow wondered, looking at his cell phone, which was black and red like him. Gliding through the empty city with his Air Shoes, Shadow looked around for any signs of Rouge. He knew she’d be out on a “shopping spree” from the disappearance of everyone in the city. He had already checked 5 malls and jewelry stores, looking for her. With a frown, he hung up the phone, and came to a stop. “…She has to be in this city somewhere…” he muttered, crossing his arms. “But where…?” Wordlessly, Shadow looked to the sky for a moment, before looking back at his cell phone and dialing Rouge’s number again. The moment he put the phone to his ear, the ground began to shake. “What the…” “FINALLY!” Rouge exclaimed, emerging from the ground, beneath Shadow’s feet, nearly knocking him to the ground. Shaking her head to remove most of the dust and debris from out her hair and face, Rouge quickly pulled herself out of the ground, and instantly identified Shadow. “Shadow? What are you doing—ahh!” she screamed, as she tripped over her own feet and blindly crashed into him, sending them both to the concrete. ‘Ow! She’s heavy…!’ Shadow exclaimed in his mind. Looking to her, he felt his face warm up from the position they were in. At that moment he was glad no one was in the city. Anyone, especially that fake hedgehog, who could see Rouge practically straddling him in the middle of the street was the LAST thing he wanted to go public. “Shadow!” Rouge repeated, not realizing the intensity of their situation “What are you doing  here?!” Shadow frowned while trying to lift her off of him. “I was looking for you…” She sighed. “With every jewelry store employee-free, you knew I’d be out—what the…” she trailed off as her phone vibrated again. Silence fell over them, as they stared at each other blankly. With a light crimson across his cheeks, Shadow pointed to her lower half of her cat-suit. “ Please tell me, that’s your phone vibrating…” With a blush, Rouge hit him on the shoulder and reached in her pocket. “O-of course it is! Get your mind out of the gutter!” Shadow scoffed. “Well, it’s kind of hard when there’s a woman straddling you with something vibrating in her pants…” Blushing wildly, Rouge hit him again, a little harder this time. “Oh, be quiet! You know you like it!” “Do I…?” Shadow replied with a distinctive edge to his voice. Unable to look at him because she was blushing so much, Rouge quickly stood to her feet and looked to see who was calling. “Oh…it’s the President.” She said, clicking a button and holding the phone to her ear. “…Rouge here. …Oh really…? …You don’t say… Dr. Eggman’s control room in 30 minutes? Be there in a flash. But remember, I don’t work for free.” As she spoke, Shadow eyed her, thoughtfully, while rising to his feet. “Oh, it’s negotiable?” she said with a grin. “Then, you’ve got yourself a deal!” Clicking the hang up button, she turned to Shadow, who had already taken out his Chaos Emerald. “…You plan on going too?” Rouge asked. Shadow said nothing, but gave her an unreadable look. Rouge blinked. “What…?” “Does that bother you?” “No…why should it? Besides, things may get more interesting with my ‘partner in crime’ there with me!” she playfully added, nudging him in the arm with her elbow. Shadow said nothing at first, then he smirked. “…Thanks. …Sonic and the others should already be there too.” Rouge raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. “Oh really? Hmm…then that echidna will probably be there…” “…” “I swear, for a guardian who’s suppose to spend his lifetime watching a giant emerald must not care too much about it getting stolen by famous treasure hunters such as myself.” Shadow said nothing, but simply shrugged. Rouge noticed his hesitation, then linked her arm with his. “Ah well. As long as those boys don’t get in our way, they’re fine. Right?” Shadow blinked. “…I suppose.” “So what are we waiting for?” She asked, playfully hugging his arm closer to her. Shadow dared an inquisitive glance at her, then smirked and shook his head. “Absolutely nothing.” he replied     evenly, holding up the emerald. “Chaos Control” Shadow whispered, as Rouge simultaneously chirped the same thing. And in a flash of green and white light, they disappeared.     ~~~I dun know why, but this story’s pushin’ me to get to the good parts. Maybe in one or 2 more chaps, the real fun will begin. Unless this story changes into something else, I’ll have to go with the original plan. ^^ oh well, we’ll see. Oh yeah, just to clear up, a cat-suit is a tight-fitting one piece, that’s usually black or red. Rouge wears a cat-suit in SA2 and Sonic Battle. Actually, she wears one in Heroes too, but her original outfit is definitely a cat-suit. -Mel
