Untitled Sonic Story

Chapter six is now up! Sorry if it's short

Club Rouge. A bar. A nightclub. Maybe even a stripclub, if you’re lucky enough to find some gorgeous girls working there. But for right now…it’s a home. Rouge walks towards her couch, with a Diet Coke over ice, and sits down. Wearing a very cute pair of footy pajamas with a teddy bears all over them, she grabs a black remote control and turns on her television. She flips through a few channels while sipping her drink. However, she wasn’t alone. Beside her was the black hedgehog, Shadow. He had his arms crossed and looking moody as usual. He stared at the television, but really wasn’t interested in what it had to offer on its channels. He decided to start a conversation. “How was work?” he asked quietly. Rouge’s ears perked and she turned to face Shadow. “Oh, you wouldn’t believe how many people were here” she groaned, “so many freaks and perverts. It’s a shame none of the girls could work tonight”. She sipped her drink. Shadow scoffed. “Why the female species would show off her private body to the male is beyond me.” He snorted. “Well, some women aren’t shamed of letting it all hang out,” Rouge replied. “And you are one of them…right?” “You know it!” Rouge chirps with pride. Shadow only shakes his head. He’s such a hard case, Rouge thinks to herself and continues flipping channels.

“I saw Sonic today.” Shadow’s ears perked up. He turns to Rouge. “The blue hedgehog?” he questions quietly. “Yeah,” Rouge shrugged, “but he was acting kind of weird.” Shadow raises an eyebrow. “What do you mean ‘weird’?” Rouge inhaled. “Well..he usually doesn’t wear clothes, right? Well, today he was wearing a real baggy red t-shirt with jeans and a baseball cap. And when I heard his voice, it sounded feminine.” Shadow pauses. “Feminine?” “Yeah. It’s…kind of hard to explain. I’ll go over to his apartment tomorrow and see if he’s okay. You wouldn’t mind taking over my shift, would you?” Shadow snickered. “Sorry, I have other plans.” Rouge sighs and turns off the television, then looks into Shadow’s eyes. “Shadow, please. I’m getting a bit concerned about Sonic ever since his behavior today. I only want to see what’s wrong.” Shadow turns away. “I said no.” The white batgirl pouts, her lip quivering and her eyes wet with tears. “PWEASE, Shadzie?” She begs. “You’re my fwiend, wight?” Shadow eyeballs Rouge for a few seconds, growls and shouts “Fine! I’ll take over! JUST STOP WITH THE ACT!” Rouge jumps in joy and hugs him. “Thank you, Shadow” she chirps, “you’re so awesome! I won’t be for very long. I’ll make us breakfast, have a shower and then head out. Are you sure you’ll be alright while I’m gone?” Shadow lets out a quiet groan. “Yes” he replies. “Good. Then it’s settled.” She then gets up and stretches. “Well, since there’s nothing on TV I’ll just go to bed. Don’t stay up too late, and NO using Chaos Spear tomorrow on customers.” Shadow huffs. “Fine.” “Nighty-night!” Rouge walks off towards her bedroom, humming quietly. “Goodnight, Rouge” Shadow says quietly as he grabs a Reader’s Digest and flips it open.

Meanwhile, Sonic is looking at herself in the mirror, all of the clothes she wore during the day gone. She stares at her figure for a while, trying to put everything that’s happened together. Her green eyes filled with worry. “Wh….what just happened?” Images of the day come back into her head. The coffee, the changing…”A….am I gonna stay like this forever?” She sighs and slumps her back onto the mirror and slides down onto the floor, hugging her knees and looks at the floor in a very depressed manner. I have to tell someone about this, she thinks to herself, but I’m so scared of what someone might say… As a few tears run down her face she says out loud “What am I going to do?”
