"109... 110... 111" Shadow was panting as he lifted the heavy weight up and down as the bat was already getting bored looking at him and listening to him counting like he's relearning how to count.

"You know, lunch break is right at the corner, Handsome." Rouge got up and yawned.

This made Shadow pause and placed the lift back to it's place. He grabbed the towel and wiped his face with it.

"Quit your whining Rouge, my day is already bad as it is." Shadow sighed and drank the cold drink.

"If your having a bad day, why not come with me at the island since the commander did say we can spend this week off" Rouge and Shadow started walking outside of the building and into their usual restaurant.

"And what? To see you and your boyfriend be all lovey dovey? I'll pass. And can you stop telling me to come there already? It's been years!" Shadow gestured the waiter and took they're usual orders.

"Oh come on! What are you even gonna do here anyways?! Work yourself to death? And then what?! Your gonna collapse in a field like last time?" Rouge snapped at Shadow and he just sighed while resting his head with his hand.

"If you don't come with me, I'll kidnap you" Rouge looked serious

"I've heard that threat before." Shadow looked at the window blankly

"... Shadow... It's my birthday tomorrow...can't you at least do this for me...?" Rouge had her hands altogether and was pressing it against her chest with cute begging eyes

"It's not your birthday tomorrow, bat." Shadow puts his hands on Rouge's eyes to cover it and Rouge's smile turned upside down.

"Hmph!!" Rouge leaned back at the chair. Then she had an idea.

"Well, don't blame me Handsome." She got up making Shadow taken aback and he immediately pulled her close, but Rouge snatched away her hand making her stumble and hitting her head at the edge of the table

"Rouge!! What in the actual fuck?! Are you oka--" Rouge whipped her head to look at Shadow.

"Look what you did! It's bleeding!!" Her head was raining blood down to her cheeks. This made Shadow clench his fists. And quickly took a med kit that was hanging on the walls of this restaurant in case of emergency.


When Shadow wiped the blood, he knows noticed something off. This wasn't blood! He looked at Rouge who had a smirk on her face and she showed her hand with a red thin circular cup which says "squish to release fake blood" I gritted my teeth and pulled both of her ears


"Ow!! Ow!!!" Rouge pushed Shadow which made him stumble a bit

"Rouge!!!" Shadow shouted at her

"Since you pushed me and I hit my head at the table which causes it to 'bleed' I would like you to come with me to the island and then I'll forgive you." She patted off the dust in her body and looked at Shadow with a smile before taking the napkin and wiped off the fake blood.

"You bitch..... .... Fine! Fuck!" Shadow sat down and so did Rouge

She giggled and sighed and looked at the other people who were just dead silent. Shadow glared at them, making them turn away.

"Let's dig in~!" She smiled before eating her meal. Shadow rolled his eyes and also ate his.


"You know, I heard that you will have a headache if you roll your eyes. And, if you roll your eyes too much, it will stay at the back of your head making you eyeless forever." Rouge pointed a fork at Shadow's eyes in which Shadow just hissed at her and got up.


"Be quick. I still have remaining work to do at the HQ." Shadow stated this coldly. Rouge just sighed and got up, the waiter gave them their bills in which it was Rouge's time to pay.



After a long day's work. Shadow chaos controlled himself to his house. Opening the lights. And took a bath right after. After laying down on bed, he noticed his phone vibrating and he quickly answered the call, not bothering to see who dialed his number.



"What?" He asked the harshest tone possible.

"Are you on your period or something?" Rouge seemed to be in the middle of getting out of her car in the sounds of it.

"Shut up. What do you want Rouge?" Shadow sighed and turned his body making his stomach face the bed.

"Well, I'm telling you to rest as much as you can since we are leaving tomorrow!" She squealed at the phone which made him pull it away from his ear for a bit. I turned on the speakers and threw the phone besides me

"Tomorrow? Why not next week?" I turned my head to look at the phone besides me.

"Well, I overheard the commander while I was passing by his office earlier and he was talking to his secretary to give us a new mission first thing in the morning with a very difficult file to solve as well. So~ why not go to the island by 4 o'clock and text them saying we are already in the middle of vacation in a whole different island! Isn't that the perfect plan?" Rouge giggled as Shadow heard a door closing.

".... Chaos, I'm already regretting this. Fine... Goodbye now. Text, no call" Shadow then hung up and pulled up his blanket that was near his feet.

"... 4 o'clock? That's a headache..." Shadow then closed his eyes and prayed he can sleep.

This is a dream. A dream. This is just a dream... Nothing more... Nothing...! Noth--


"Shads? Uhh you okay? Hey Mari! Shadow is awak---" I quickly pulled him close to me and hugged him tightly up against my chest.

"Don't call for her... This dream always ends when you call for her... Please... Don't make this end..." I hugged him tight. I can feel his hot breath on my fur. Then, I heard a purr with a giggle. I looked down to see that he had a bloody face.

"Why won't you make this end though...? When you don't even remember what I look like..." His hands held mine which made me have goosebumps and I quickly woke up

I was panting and panting, trying to catch my breath. I... Can't remember what he looks like...? Wait... No... This can't be...! I looked over at my shoulder, seeing Rouge at the side of my bed with a shocked expression


"A-are you okay...?" I flinched when she reached for me on which she immediately retreated her hand.

"I'm fine... What time is it...? And why are you here?" I rubbed my eyes and looked outside to only still see darkness.

"It's 3 a.m Handsome. I woke you up to tell you that we are going soon. Come on, go get ready. Since the island is so far away, we'll be going through boat and I'll make you sleep there if your still sleepy." She got up and walked downstairs. I sighed and went into the bathroom and took a quick bath and I wore a black jacket with red and yellow stripes running down at the sides of it.

I walked downstairs and made some toast and gave some to Rouge before I chaos controlled us to where the boat was. She already had a blanket there so I just wrapped it around myself and quickly drifted to sleep.

And when I woke up, we were already near the island. I smelled the very cold breeze as it passes through my fur and quills. Then we made it to the island.
