Shadouge- Partners till the End.

Bonus: Scrapped stuff

These are some paragraphs and ideas I had for the last chapter, but couldn't really get them to fit. So instead of deleting them here they are. -Enjoy.

While the girls are out shopping...

      The girls walk into a little nicknack store. Blaze and Hope are looking at blankets and bed sets. Tikal walks over to Amy, "Amy look at this guardian. Is the craftsmen skilled, to be able to make this is amazing." The excitedly Echidna shows the little clay doll. Amy holds it, "It is cute, but it's just a generic totem. They poar it into a mold and it hardens into this shape."

      Rouge looks at it also. "The eyes are not even real stone, they're glass." She says soothly. Tikal takes it back, "Does not matter. I'm buy it." The store owner hears this, and walks over to great them. "I would never argue with a customer." The silver haired human says, as he cradles the totem in his hands. "This stone gaurd originated from the island Albion. The story goes that they bring good luck and fortune when you keep them near. Some even belive they can induce fertility in the bedroom."

       The orange Echidna's tail wags, "How much?" She cuts him off before he finishes his sentence." The human hugs his chin, thinking. "Well that pice would cost you, around 10?" Tikal holds out a and full of rings, "Is this enough!" 

      Amy and Rouge, "Tikal, No! That's too much!" The human trades her, "DEAL. Another satisfy customer."

Alternative Ending:

     Rouge and Sally finally start to relax as they could feel their stress melting off them. Rouge lets her wings loosen up while Sally popped her toes. "Man~ I didn't realize how much I needed this~." Sally says leaning back. The Bat smiles, with the cucumbers resting on her eyes
"Do you mind if I ask a personal question?" Sally asked. "Might as well." The bat hummed. "Your really close to Shadow, aren't you." Rouge is startled by the statement but was able to not let it show.
      "Shadow, and I have worked together for years. It would be a little weird if I didn't know him. I probably know him better than himself." The bat was glad she was wearing a face mask, so that her emotions wouldn't show. However Sally still has her suspicions.
        "So. You two have spent some nights together?" Sally's tone was, concerning. "Sometimes. When we go on a mission or when we're too tired to leave the office." Sally ponders for a moment, tapping her fingers together, worried about the answer... "Who is... Who is Maria?" Rouge sits up suddenly taking off the cucumbers. Her teal eyes filled with compassion and concern. Sally continues, "One night when we were sleeping, Shadow started talking in his sleep. Except he was crying also, I don't want to pry into his past if its that painful, but I want to help him."

       "He's smug and stubborn at times, he barely speaks, and he keeps everything in his life close to his chest... But when he does show his more venerable side we'll be there for him." The Honduran mix bat tells her with a smile.

         "Men. Why is it so hard for them to let us in?" Sally asks. "Thats just one of the things that makes them men, hun~." Rouge starts to peel off her face mask. "Especially for Shadow. Guy's never talked about their feelings, in the 40's."
        Sally expression is shocked. "What? I knew he was frozen like my mother was, but for that long." Rouge watches Sally as she is thinking. The redhead then gives a awkward chuckle. "Oh my. I've been fucking someone older than my dad." Rouge leans over with a mischievous gin,        "You mean, ~Granddad~"
        "Noooooo." Sally laughs in embarrassment.
