Sonic was walking down the lit up streets of Night Babylon. It was Friday night and the speedy hedgehog was on his way to Club Rouge for the party that Rouge and invited him to a week ago.
He was wearing a grey vest with a long sleeve black shirt underneath. Sonic wiped off a little bit of dust from his shoulders, In one hand he was carrying a bouquet of roses that he had bought for Rouge. Sonic started to think about what the night would bring him during the party.
He would usually not show up to parties, especially ones in this district of the city. Tonight though he could make an exception, one because he knew Rouge's club was different from all the others, two he didn't have anything else going on tonight and third was well, he wanted to hang out with the mysterious bat thief.
"I really need to see if she would be willing to give up this life of crime for something more...good?" he asked himself.
The blue hero turned a corner and across the street was Club Rouge, the bat silhouette bright purple and white lights flashing on and off. A large line was in the front of the club, Sonic guessed they were guests waiting to go inside.
Sonic stood in the back of the line and waited, this only lasted for 5 seconds when he sighed in boredom and tapped his foot impatiently.
"Yeah, I need to find a way past this slow poke line"
Sonic poked his head out from the people in front of him and looked towards the front of the line. Sonic smiled when he realized that the guard at the entrance rope was the same one he met the first time he came here. With a cunning look on his face, Sonic got out of line and strolled on up to the front.
As he got closer to the front the guard noticed his approach and suddenly looked worried. He quickly lifted the guard rope and stepped to the side. As Sonic calmly walked past him the guard saluted him. Sonic turned his head to look at him and just gave a friendly smile. The guard sighed in relief realizing he wasn't in trouble. Some of the people in the front of the line started to complain but the guard just shrugged and told them to be quite.
Once inside, Sonic could hear the thumping music and voices of people all around him. He looked around the place; everything looked the same since the last time he was here except with more people. He started to walk around hoping to run into a certain bat.
He walked up to the second floor and looked down at the dancing crowed below. He smiled to himself at how everyone seemed to be have a fun time.
"Well look who's here" Sonic's ears perked up at the sound of the familiar silvery voice of Rouge. Sonic turned around and smiled.
"Hey Rouuuuuuu..." The hedgehog suddenly stopped talking and his jaw hit the floor with a loud thud at the sight in front of him.
Rouge was wearing a red jewel neck side slit hollow out dress, with long red gloves that reached up to her elbows, and red high heels. His eyes traveled up to her face, she wore mascara, magenta eyeshadow that seemed to make her teal eyes glow brightly and last were the diamond earrings that sparkled in the light.
Rouge smiled at Sonic's reaction, she started to walk over to him with her head held high. The bat swung her arms and hips a bit as she slowly walked towards him. Her movements were bold and sporadic. The bat approached him at an angle; Sonic's eyes followed her movements. When she was close enough to him, Rouge slowly tilted her head over her shoulder.
"Like what you see?" she asked with relaxed eyes.
Sonic didn't move and just stood there like a statue with a nerves and shocked look on his face. Rouge rolled her eyes and smiled, while simply turning her body to the side not really caring if she got a response from him or not.
The blue hedgehog suddenly snapped back into realty and cleared his throat which got Rouge's attention. She turned her head to him and saw him holding out a bouquet of roses to her.
"Why Blue, you shouldn't have" she took the roses and smelled there sweet aroma. "There no gems, but it's the thought that counts"
She waved down a guard and asked him to put the roses at her office door. The guard nodded and took the roses and left. The bat turned back to Sonic.
"So Big Blue, what do you think?" she asked motioning her head to the party below.
"I have to say it's pretty amazing" he responded looking around. He then glanced at Rouge and smiled a bit. "Though that's not the only thing amazing"
Rouge blushed a bit and smiled at him. "Oh you"
.......................................
Sonic and Rouge were sitting at a booth talking and enjoying some Italian skewers. Sonic was telling her about the time he and Knuckles had to fight against Chaos 6 on the Egg Carrier while it was falling to the ocean
"Wow, I'm surprised you two survived that" said Rouge when Sonic finished his story. The hedgehog shrugged his shoulders. "Eh, it was rather fun in my opinion"
"Hmm, you seem to like danger don't you?" said Rouge.
Sonic simply nodded "Yeah, but I like other things too"
"Really?" she slowly crossed her legs reviling her slender thighs. "Like what?"
Sonic's face turned red, he tried not to stare and just looked at Rouge's face. "Well...I enjoy racing, relaxing, rock music and break dancing"
Rouge smiled "Well my club often has break dancing nights" she lightly touched his forearm as she spoke. "You should come one night"
"I might just do that" Sonic said smiling at her. Rouge smiled back she couldn't help but stare into his emerald green eyes. Sonic sure was good looking and not to mention fun company.
"Hey Rouge?"
The bat snapped out of her thoughts and looked back at Sonic. "Huh? What?"
"I asked if you wanted to dance." Sonic said repeating the question that Rouge had missed the first time. She smiled and nodded.
The two stood up and Sonic led her out to the dance floor. Once they found a good spot, Sonic softly held Rouge's hand. They then started to dance to the music.
They danced like this for a while; Sonic could tell Rouge was enjoying herself. Suddenly a new song started to play and Sonic decided to take the lead. He slowly placed a hand on the white bats hip. He noticed she looked a bit surprised but then slyly smiled at him.
She grabbed his other hand and placed it on the other side of her hip. The two started to slow dance. As the danced Rouge wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in close to him.
"I had no idea you were such a good dancer Hun" she whispered.
The blue hedgehog grinned at her. "I'm just full of surprises"
Rouge laughed a bit and traced her hand along his chest slowly and gazed into his eyes. Sonic gazed back as they both kept slowly swaying to the music.
As the bat and hedgehog danced, Sonic dipped her and then slowly brought her back up. He then started to spin her around. Rouge spun around about three times, before stopping and being pulled back in the cobalt hedgehogs embrace.
Rouge would be lying to herself if she said that she wasn't crushing on Sonic right now.
After a few more minutes of dancing, Sonic and Rouge decided to take a break and walk up to the roof of the club for some fresh air. When they got up there they walked near the side and they both looked out over some buildings
"I'm really glad you came to the party Sonic" spoke Rouge linking her arm with his. "Are you glad?"
Sonic looked at her for a moment and then slowly put his hand on top of hers.
"I believe I am" he smiled.
The thief smiled back and leaned her head against his shoulder. They stayed like that for a while just listening to the sounds around them. Sonic glanced down at Rouge and decided he should ask the question that was buzzing around his head.
"Hey Rouge?"
"Hmmm"
"Have you...ever thought of quitting your life of a jewel thief and doing something else?"
Rouge opened her eyes but stayed where she was. "I've thought about it but what would I do?"
Sonic opened his mouth to answer her question but closed it, when he realized he didn't really know the answer. Suddenly Sonic's watch began beeping.
"Excuse me" he said, Rouge let go of him and Sonic walked to the center of the roof and held up his watch to look at the screen and pressed a button.
"Sonic here"
"Sonic it's me Tails, you won't believe what I found just now inside a small cave!"
"Tails..." Sonic sighed in annoyance "Could it wait until tomorrow? I'm kind of in the middle of something important" said Sonic glancing back at Rouge who was simply looking up at the moon.
"But Sonic I found two Chaos Emeralds"
Sonic quickly looked back at his watch. "Wait two Emeralds!?"
Rouges ears perked up at the mention of emeralds. She glanced over to Sonic who was still talking to whoever on his watch.
"Ok Tails I'll be there first thing in the morning" promised Sonic as he ended the call with his best friend. He turned back around to Rouge. He then got startled a bit when he realized she was standing right behind him.
"Whoa!" he yelled jumping back a bit.
Rouge laughed a bit "Sorry Blue didn't mean to be nosey, but I couldn't help but hear you say something about emeralds?"
"Oh...well my bud Tails said he found two Chaos Emeralds and wanted me to come over to his workshop" He saw the bats eyes light up in interest.
"I've heard of those, there are supposed to be very rare"
Sonic nodded "Yeah there are only seven and they are very powerful"
Rouge slowly walked up to Sonic and leaned in close to him. "So who is this Tails?"
"Oh he's my best friend and the best piolet I know" Sonic stated rubbing his nose with a pride look on his face.
"So I'm guessing he lives in Station Square?"
The hedgehog shook his head. "No he lives on the south shores of Mystic Ruins. He has this big workshop with a long runway for his plane, so it's not that hard to miss"
Rouge smiled "Oh that's pretty impressive"
"Wait?" said Sonic looking at her with a raised eyebrow. "Why do you want to know about...?"
Rouge put a finger to his lips, stopping his question. Sonic was really confused now but then noticed her leaning close to his face.
He tried to speak but his mouth wasn't working. As Rouge got closer she tilted her head to the side a bit.
Soon Sonic felt Rouge's lips press firmly against his. Sonic mind completely shut down and lost all train of thought. Rouge slowly wrapped her arms around his neck. She then felt his hands wrap around her waist and pulled her a bit closer. The bat smiled slyly and gently stroked her hands down Sonic's toned chest as they kept kissing.
They broke away for air and Sonic looked a bit dazed.
"Um, what was I going to ask?"
"Oh nothing important Hun." Rouge whispered and pulled him back into a kiss.
