First Christmas
“It’s almost time!” Cream shouted suddenly as she ran out of her room and dashed down the stairs to where the others were at, “Mr. Sonic, it’s almost time! Today’s Christmas eve!”
Sonic smiled at the thought of the holiday coming and he chuckled.
“Miss. Rouge, are you excited?” she asked the bat girl as Rouge drunk a hot cup of coffee.
“I’ve never been the one to celebrate Christmas, but I guess it’s different this year,” she said and she looked at Shadow with a sly smile on her lips.
Cream giggled, “You, Mr. Shadow?”
Shadow silently stood up and he left the room, Sonic shrugged, “what’s his deal?”
“My guess is, is that he’s just not the Christmas type,” Rouge assumed while looking out the door he had left from.
Cream frowned, “although I don’t know why not.”
Sonic rolled his eyes, “lets just make it easier and say that Shadow has no holiday spirit whatsoever.”
Rouge and Cream nodded with agreement and Cream gave off a small spin, “I had no idea Shadow could be so boring!” she said with a giggle.
“Now we can’t be jumping to any conclusions, why don’t we just ask him?” Rouge questioned and winked, “actually Sonic you can ask him!”
“What? Why?” Sonic shouted.
“Because,” Rouge started and placed her finger on Sonic’s chest and poked him roughly while smiling, “you’re his arch rival and if anyone can get through to him you can!”
Sonic groaned at the thought and he gave off a sigh, “can’t do it!”
Rouge scuffed, “what? Why can’t you?!”
“To lazy,” Sonic answered, “yep, I’m just going to kick back and relax.”
Rouge growled and she angrily flipped his chair, “listen here! It’s almost Christmas time and I’m not going to let you ruin it for the rest of us!”
Sonic rolled his eyes and he picked himself up off the floor and held his hands up so Rouge wouldn’t hit him. Instead, she kept her hands on her hips. Sonic slowly walked out of the room and sighed as he walked down the hallway, ‘why me?’ he thought.
When he entered the outdoors he noticed Shadow sitting on a rock while looking down at the water below.
“Hey, Shads!” Sonic called out, “so, why are you being so moody…again?”
Shadow glared at him from the corner of his eyes and Sonic backed away some.
“Well, Rouge is having a Christmas Eve party and she wanted to know if you’ll come?” Sonic asked lying just a bit, but Shadow continued to glare at him, ‘this is pointless!’ Sonic thought, “what’s your deal anyway?!”
“What’s YOUR deal?” Shadow questioned back.
He growled, “should’ve known talking to you was just like talking to a wall.”
“A wall? You’re comparing me to a wall?”
“Well what else am I suppose to compare you with?” Sonic retorted and he gave off another growl, “I give up! We try to show you how to have fun, but you’re always so moody and broody!”
Shadow rolled his eyes, “Christmas is not fun.”
“Nothing’s fun for you! Just arguing with me and Ro-butt-nik!” he shouted, “if Rouge can take the time to celebrate why can’t you?!”
“It’s for fools,” Shadow explained and stood up, “and the last thing I want to be is a fool.”
Sonic gave off a sigh as he watched Shadow leave, “wow! That went well!” Sonic shouted and turned to leave, but stopped, “he’s such a child.”
He slammed open the door and he stomped in, growling furiously.
“So how’d it go?” Rouge asked and he glared at her, “that bad, huh?”
“He’s so immature!” Sonic shouted.
Rouge rolled her eyes, “I’ll go ask him what’s wrong.”
“Good luck,” Sonic said sarcastically and she rolled her eyes again, but not before she left the room. Only to bump into that certain hedgehog.
“Oh my god! Are you alright?” she exclaimed while rubbing her head.
“yeah, man you got a hard head!” he answered with a nervous laugh.
“Thank you or I mean I’m sorry,” she said, “I wanted to talk to you…not bump into you. Oh I’m so sorry!”
“It’s cool,” he reassured with a smile, “I was actually on my way to talk to you.”
Rouge nodded and she smiled nervously, “what about?”
Shadow looked around as if someone was watching him and he grabbed her hand, “lets go some place else to talk.”
“Alright,” Rouge said with an understanding smile and she followed Shadow to a nearby tree. Which was also surrounded by a small yet beautiful lake, “so what is it?” she asked him.
“There’s a reason I’m not in the Christmas mood to celebrate,” he started and Rouge’s ears perked up, “well 1) because I never did celebrate and 2) when I was getting ready for my first one Maria died.”
“Aww Shadow,” Rouge said with sadness, “I’m so sorry.”
He shrugged, “so I guess I never knew what the true feeling of Christmas was.”
“Listen, Shadow, why don’t you come with me to the party. We’ll go together and maybe you’ll be happy and so will Maria!”
Shadow was quiet as he thought about it and Rouge, meanwhile, had a soft smile that was filled with hope, “I don’t know,” he said slowly.
“Come on! Just for an hour and if you don’t like it, then you can leave,” she said, “please, Shadow.”
Shadow sighed, “alright, I’ll do it.”
“Thank you,” she said and kissed him on his cheek, “I’ll see you at 7pm, then.”
Shadow nodded and he watched Rouge walk away.
At exactly seven, Shadow entered Rouge’s house and he looked around for the bat girl. He soon found her rushing around trying to keep things organized and in control. He walked up to her, “Rouge?”
She turned around, “you came!”
He nodded, “yep. You look great!” he complimented.
Rouge was wearing a black belly shirt and a frilled black skirt and she wore high heels, “thank you,” she said with a smile.
“So what do you do here?” Shadow asked.
“Come on! Haven’t you ever been to a party before?” Rouge asked and Shadow answered with a shake of his head, “you’re kidding?” she asked and realized that he wasn’t laughing, “Oh my god. You aren’t. come on, lets dance then.”
“What?!” Shadow questioned in a nervous laugh.
“I’m going to teach you how to have fun!”
“Teach me? Isn’t fun just something that comes naturally?” Shadow asked with an eye-browed raised.
“Yes, but it can also come when you’re with someone and you’re with me!”
“Yeah, but I don’t think…” Shadow started, but Rouge pulled him out to the center floor.
“Just place your hand on my waist and you’re good to go!” she explained grabbing his hand and placed it on her bare waist, “see! You got it!”
Shadow nodded and he looked down, copying the movements.
After the song stopped, Rouge stopped and she looked at Shadow, a smile on her features, “see, you can do it! Just have some faith!”
Shadow nodded again, “yeah.”
“Come on,” she said grabbing his hand and gently guiding him to the table full of snacks, “want something to drink?” she asked him while filling up a glass with punch.
“Sure,” he answered and she handed it to him.
“So, you having fun yet?” Rouge asked while taking a sip of her drink and Shadow answered with a shrug, “you don’t know? Aww Shadow come on! It’s Christmas Eve! Loosen up a little, have some fun!” Rouge nearly had to shout over the loud music.
“Rouge, I am having a great time. It’s new to me, this party. But I want to have a great time because I’m with you!”
Rouge blushed at the comment, “Sha…Shadow! I’m surprised. I had no…” Rouge started but stopped when she noticed his expression. It was filled with comfort and honesty.
“Rouge, if Christmas is about giving and sharing, then I don’t know what I should give you. Just one thing.”
“What’s that?”
“My heart,” he answered and she gasped, “to tell you the truth Rouge, I’ve always loved you.”
“Shadow…” tears formed in her eyes and she couldn’t help but nod her head, “I love you, too!”
Shadow hugged Rouge tightly, “Merry Christmas, Rouge! This was my first Christmas and I was glad to have spend it with you!”
“Merry Christmas, Shadow!” Rouge said, “now I got something for you!”
Before Shadow could ask what it was, Rouge connected her lips to his and she kissed him passionately.
He returned the kiss and he pulled away from, looked into her beautiful eyes and smiled a warm and gentle smile, “Merry Christmas, Rouge!”
