Shadow POV
"Shadow, you alright hun?" A hand shook me hard and I snapped back into reality. 'Damn it, I was daydreaming about him again...' I shook my head hard and looked at the bat that was sitting next to me. Her large blue eyes were concerned. I sighed. "Yeah...I'm fine.." I mumbled, crossing my arms across my chest. She scoffed. "Yeah right, Mr.Sunshine~" She said seductively. She stood in front of me. "You were blushing." I felt my muzzle go red. 'Damn, she saw.' I scoffed. "And? I can't blush?" She chuckled. "Ah c'mon, Shadow. Tell me who you're crushing on." A growl came from the back of my throat, and I sighed. She's not going to let it go. "Ok, Rouge. I like-"
"Hey Rouge, hey Shadow." A voice greeted cheerfully. Oh no, it's...
"Hey Knuckles!" Rouge hugged the red echindna, then let him go. He turned to me. "Hey, Shadow, we're going to the beach later, wanna come?" He smiled at me. His smile was so beautiful and fascinating. My muzzle turned red. "Why are you inviting me?" He looked at me softly, his violet eyes sparkling. "Because, you're always alone. Just come for a little bit, please?" He asked. I sighed again and nodded. "Fine, I'll go to the beach..." Knuckles grinned and laughed. "Thanks! See ya later! Bye Rouge." He looked at me, his muzzle a bright pink. "Bye Shadow." He walked away, leaving me and Rouge alone. I stared at him as he walked away. His toned back, slender hips, sexy legs...
"Ooohh, I see, Shadow." I jumped slightly and looked at her. She was staring at me knowingly. "See what, bat?" She grinned at me. "You're crushing on Knuckles aren't you?" I couldn't control the heat rising again in my muzzle, making it red. "Y-yeah.." I admitted. "I am.."
