Knuckles and Rouge's Date Night
Chapter One
It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day. Knuckles the Echidna was by the Master Emerald on Angel Island. He was lying down on his back, his eyes closed. He felt so relaxed. It was so peaceful and quiet and he was enjoying the gorgeous weather. He sighed contently.
"What a beautiful day. I feel so peaceful." he said to himself.
"Hey Knuckles!"
"Ugh!" he said when he recognized the voice.
Knuckles opened his eyes and sat up. He saw Rouge the Bat sitting on top of the Master Emerald. She crossed her sexy legs and had a smirk on her face.
"So much for feeling peaceful." said Knuckles, frowning at Rouge.
"Well that's not a nice way to greet your friend." said Rouge, smirking.
"We're not friends!" said the Echidna, raising his voice. "You're a pain in my ass who likes bothering me and getting on my damn nerves!"
"I love you too knucklehead." she said, smirking. "And yeah, I do like getting on your nerves because it's so much fun."
Rouge loved giving Knuckles trouble, but that's because she liked him. She liked him a lot and bothering him was her way of showing her feelings. She's had a huge crush on him for years. Knuckles being not so bright, hadn't figured out that Rouge liked him. She liked him because he was good hearted, loyal to his duties and he had a lot of pride. He had a temper, but behind all that toughness was a nice guy. He was strong, always spoke his mind, not to mention the fact that he was handsome. All of these qualities made her attracted to the echidna.
Knuckles would never admit it, but he liked Rouge too. He tried for years to suppress his growing feelings for her, but he couldn't help it. Although he liked to complain when she came to bother him, deep down he enjoyed her company and their banter. She was very smart, witty and confident. Her looks were deceiving, because although she was gorgeous and girly she was very strong and could kick anyone's ass.
Yup, Knuckles and Rouge had feelings for each other.
But they were too damn stubborn to admit it to each other.
"What are you doing here batgirl?" he asked with an angry look on his face. He stood up and crossed his arms.
"To bother you. You know that." she said smiling.
"Why can't you bother someone else?"
"Because it wouldn't be as fun."
"You better not be trying to steal the Master Emerald."
"Nah, maybe some other day." she said smirking. She put her hand on her hip. "Speaking of jewels…"
Rouge brought out a tracking device.
"...I'm actually looking for three jewels that happen to be on this very island."
"You're not taking any jewels from my island, batgirl!" he said, raising his voice.
"The jewels aren't from Angel Island, silly." she said. She tapped the device on her wrist and a holographic screen popped up, showing the three jewels. "These jewels are from South America and they ended up here somehow. And I intend to take 'em. I am the greatest treasure hunter after all."
"Oh please. I'm a way better treasure hunter than you'll ever be. Do you know how many times I've found fragments of the Master Emerald and put it back together again?"
"Whatever. I'm still a better treasure hunter." She said, smirking and crossing her arms.
"No you're not. I am!" he yelled.
"I am." she said, smirking.
"You wish!"
"Alright, prove it then. Whoever finds the three pieces of these jewels is the better treasure hunter."
"Well you'd be cheating. You have that tracking device."
"Fine. I won't use the tracking device. All I need is my natural bat senses to find them." she said. She took off the tracking device and placed it on the ground.
"Oh and Knuckles? How about we raise the stakes?"
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"Not only will the winner be declared the best treasure hunter, but if you lose...you have to take me out on a date."
"W-what?!" Knuckles stammered. He felt butterflies in his stomach. He was normally cool and collected, but going on a date with a beautiful girl like Rouge? The thought of that made him so nervous. No way could he lose this bet.
"And what happens when I win?" he asked smirking.
"If you win, I won't bother you for a month."
"A month is too short. How about forever?"
"Oh please, if you never saw me again you'd be miserable Knucklehead." she said.
"Are you kidding? I'd be so happy!" he said, but deep down that was a lie.
"Uh huh." she said. "So what do you say? Deal?" She said, stretching out her hand.
"Deal." said Knuckles, who stretched out his hand. They shook hands.
"No way am I gonna lose to you batgirl! I got this!"
A few hours later…
"I can't believe I lost!" yelled Knuckles angrily.
Rouge found all three pieces and she held the jewels in her hand, smirking.
"Told you I'm the greatest treasure hunter. Looking forward to our date. I'll come by this Friday at 7. That sound good?"
Knuckles was so angry that he didn't respond. He just stood fuming with smoke coming out of his ears. Rouge couldn't stop smiling. He was so cute when he was mad.
"Friday it is then. See ya then knucklehead!" She said, turning around. She waved and flew away.
"Damn you batgirl!" yelled Knuckles, watching her fly away.
A few days later…
Friday, 7pm.
It was a gorgeous evening on Angel Island. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were hanging out. They held sticks pinned with marshmallows over a small fire.
"Man, nothing like s'mores, huh?" said Sonic who removed his toasted, gooey marshmallow and placed it between two cookies. Sonic bit into the delicious snack. "Mmm, mmm mmm!" said the hedgehog.
"I know you have a fast metabolism Sonic, but that's the tenth s'more you've had! That many s'mores can't be good for your teeth!" said Tails.
"Relax buddy!" said Sonic. "My teeth are super clean and white!"
"Well they won't be for long if you keep eating that much sugar." said Knuckles.
"And chili dogs…" said Tails.
"And soda…" said Knuckles.
"Geez Sonic, you need to switch to a healthy diet." said Tails.
"Will you guys get off my case? I'm fit and in great shape! And me giving up chili dogs?! Hell no!" said Sonic.
"You may be in shape now, but keep eating all this junk food and in 20 years you'll have a belly like Eggman!" said Tails, laughing.
Knuckles burst out laughing and Tails laughed even louder.
"Oh man! Now that's funny! Can you imagine Sonic looking like a fat ass like Eggman? Hahaha!" said Knuckles, snickering.
"Yeah! Maybe we'll call him Eggsonic! Hahaha!" said Tails laughing.
"Eggsonic! Good one! Hahaha!" said Knuckles. "Or how about Sonic the fat hog? Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!" snickered Tails.
"Sonic the fat hog? That's not even creative." said Sonic annoyed.
Tails and Knuckles were rolling on the ground, laughing. Sonic gave them an angry look.
"You guys are assholes." said Sonic.
Tails and Knuckles kept laughing. Just then, Rouge flew down and walked up to them.
"Geez, what's so funny boys?" said Rouge, smirking with a hand on her hip.
"They're just being idiots Rouge." said Sonic, smiling. "By the way, whoa you look amazing!"
"Thanks!" said Rouge, smiling.
Knuckles and Tails stopped laughing and looked at Rouge. Tails eyes almost popped out of his head. Knuckles stared in awe. The echidna was so taken away by her beauty that he was speechless. Rouge always looked beautiful, but she looked like a knockout tonight. She wore a strapless, sexy, royal blue romper. She also wore glittery, golden open toed heels and carried a gold designer purse. She didn't wear that much makeup; just eyeshadow and pink lip gloss. Rouge was so beautiful that she didn't need that much makeup.
"You do look amazing Rouge!" said Tails. "What's the special occasion?"
"Knucklehead here is supposed to take me on a date tonight." she replied, smirking at Knuckles who was still staring at her in awe.
"What?! You and him? Going on a date?" said Sonic.
"That's right." she said.
Sonic went up to Knuckles, put him in a playful headlock and ruffled his hair.
"Atta boy Knux!" said Sonic, "I knew it! I knew you liked Rouge! Behind all that bickering and fighting was love!"
Knuckles pushed Sonic off him in annoyance.
"I don't like Rouge!" said Knuckles.
"Then why are you going on a date then?" asked Tails.
"Because he begged me and begged me." teased Rouge. "He was on his hands and knees, pleading for me to make his acquaintance tonight!"
"That's not true!" yelled Knuckles. "Look, we made a stupid bet, I lost and the deal was if I lost, I'd take her out on a date."
"That's right lover boy." said Rouge. "So what are you waiting for? Let's go."
"No way am I going on a date with you batgirl! It was just a stupid bet!" said the echidna.
"A deal's a deal buddy." said Sonic.
"Yeah!" said Tails. "You gotta keep your word."
"Seriously guys?" said Knuckles. "Way to back me up, idiots!"
Tails and Sonic started laughing. This was a hilarious sight to watch. Knuckles getting all pissed and flustered over a date with Rouge was priceless.
"You heard 'em Knux! A deal's a deal. Now I spent hours getting all glammed up for this date. So you better take me out or I'll kick your echidna behind!"
"Ugh! Whatever!" said Knuckles, frustrated. "Let's go."
Knuckles flew up and Rouge flew up next to him.
"Bye love birds! Have fun!" said Sonic, waving. He and Tails were laughing. Knuckles turned around and gave them an evil look before flying away.
"So where are you dragging me to batgirl?"
"We're going to Station Square to grab a bite to eat." she said.
"Ugh, I don't wanna spend money on food. Why don't we just stay on Angel Island and I can cook you something?"
"You're on Angel Island most of the time. You need to get out more. Come on, it'll be fun!"
"With you I highly doubtful it."
Rouge flew up to him and punched his arm.
"Ow!" he said, rubbing his arm.
"Jackass!" she said.
Knuckles continued to fly next to Rouge and soon they reached the beautiful city of Station Square. Knuckles followed Rouge as she flew through the city. They kept flying until they reached a glamorous, fancy looking 5 star restaurant. The restaurant was called 'Le Paris." Rouge flew down and Knuckles followed her.
Although he and Rouge stood in front of 'Le Paris,' he really hoped that Rouge was taking him to another restaurant nearby. You know, a cheaper…much, much cheaper restaurant.
"Here we are! 'Le Paris!'" said Rouge happily.
"Um, you've gotta be kidding me. We're not really eating here are we?" asked Knuckles.
"Of course we are! This is one of my favorite restaurants! The food is amazing and a lot of celebrities come here you know. George Clooney, Mariah Carey, Michael B. Jordan…"
"I don't give a damn if the Queen of England eats here! This place looks way too expensive! We're not eating here!"
"Oh yes we are!" said Rouge, smirking.
"No we're not!" yelled Knuckles, who felt like the veins in his neck were about to pop out.
"We are too! You lost the bet Knucklehead. And losing a bet means you have to go by my terms. What I say goes on this date." she said, crossing her arms and grinning. "Now if you weren't such a horrible treasure hunter…you would have won the bet. I would have gone by your terms, which was not to visit you for a month. You lost the bet so you gotta deal with the consequences buddy."
Knuckles was so furious and frustrated that smoke was coming out of his ears. He gritted his teeth in anger.
"UGH! FINE! Fine! We'll go to your stupid restaurant." he yelled angrily.
"Yay! Thanks Knuxie!" said Rouge happily as she grabbed his arm and pulled him towards 'Le Paris.'
Rouge dragged Knuckles to the fancy lobby of the fancy restaurant. They went up to the host. The host was a tall, skinny, middle aged Frenchman. He had a moustache and had the snobbiest look on his face.
"Good evening madam. Table for one?" he asked in his French accent.
"What?!" exclaimed Rouge. "Why would I need a table for one? Me and this guy are on a date. So obviously it's a table for two."
"That is your date?" asked the host, looking condescendingly at Knuckles. "I thought you were some kind of celebrity and he was your bodyguard or driver or some type of servant."
"Excuse me?" said Rouge who was very offended, "Knuckles is not my ser-"
"Servant?" yelled Knuckles, "I'm not anyone's servant you stuck up dumbass!"
Knuckles grabbed the waiter by the shirt collar and raised his fist.
"Now get us a table for two before I give you a serving of my fist!" yelled Knuckles.
Rouge had a huge smirk on her face. She was so turned on by the way Knuckles stood up for himself. That's one of the things she loved about the echidna...his pride.
"Okay, okay! My apologies!" said the waiter. His face turned from snobby a look of fear. "I will get you a table for two! Right this way!"
Knuckles let go of his collar and he and Rouge followed the host into the dining area. The host escorted them to their table and pulled out Rouge's chair for her.
"Here you go! Best seat in the house!" said the host, giving them the menus. "Your waiter will be with you shortly. Again, my apologies! Bon appetite!"
The host quickly ran away in fear. Knuckles and Rouge laughed when the host ran.
"What an idiot, thinking I'm a servant. Why would he think that? What a snob!" said Knuckles.
Rouge agreed with Knuckles. The host was an asshole. But the bat loved to get under Knuckles' skin, so she decided to make fun of him instead.
"Well, I mean, you are pretty underdressed for this establishment." said Rouge. "If I were that guy I would think you were my servant too."
"Underdressed? What's wrong with my outfit?" said Knuckles, offended.
"A t-shirt, jeans and sneakers for a fancy place like this? You are totally underdressed!"
"I don't care if we're in a fancy place! I wear what I want! Besides, I didn't know we were coming here! You told me last minute!"
"Well, even if we weren't coming here, you could have dressed formally for our date!"
"I didn't even remember that we had a stupid date until you told me batgirl!" said Knuckles, raising his voice.
"You know why you didn't remember? Because you're a Knucklehead!" said Rouge, also raising her voice.
"Why don't you just shut up, thief!" yelled Knuckles.
"Make me!" she yelled.
"Ooookay…are you two love birds ready to order?" said a young waiter who came up to them as they were arguing.
"Ugh, you got me so worked up I forgot to look at the menu." Rouge said to Knuckles.
"You started it!" yelled Knuckles.
"Whatever!" she said.
"Do you guys need more time or…?" asked the waiter.
"Yes, more time would be great." said Rouge.
"Alright, no problem. In the meantime would you two like something to drink?"
"Could I get pineapple juice please? Light ice." asked Rouge.
"Certainly ma'am! And you sir?"
"Hold on, let me check out the drinks on the menu." said Knuckles, looking at the menu.
Knuckles figured that water would be the cheapest thing on the menu, so he decided he would get that. His eyes and mouth went wide in shock when he saw the prices. It was $8 for a glass of water, $10 for a bottle of water, $9.50 for a glass of sparkling water and $15 for a bottle of sparkling water. Knuckles couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!" exclaimed the echidna, "eight bucks for a glass of water?! Eight dollars? It's just water!"
"Actually Sir, we get our water from the finest springs in Hawaii. It's the cleanest, most refreshing water in the world. That's what makes it so valuable." said the waiter, smiling.
"Bullshit! I don't care where you got it from! It's just water! Water is water! Water shouldn't be this expensive!" yelled Knuckles. "And look at the prices in this menu…$70 for appetizers, $50 bucks for a side dish…$120 for a plate of spaghetti and meatballs?! $200 for a steak?! Are you freaking kidding me?"
Rouge chuckled. She was so amused and entertained by how aggravated Knuckles was. He looked so cute being all pissed off and yelling.
"I know the food's a bit pricey…" said Rouge.
"...a bit?!" Knuckles exclaimed.
"Fine, it's really pricey, but it's worth it! The food is so amazing! It's worth the price!" she said.
"I can cook amazing food for free back on Angel Island! There are also lots of places that serve amazing food with reasonable prices. This is ridiculous! I'm not paying for anything here batgirl!"
"So you're just gonna sit down here and not eat anything?" asked Rouge, smirking.
"Damn straight." said Knuckles, crossing his arms.
Just then, a handsome wolf walked up to their table and approached Rouge.
"Hey beautiful. What are you doing with this cheap loser? You should be with a guy like me." said the wolf.
"Who the hell are you calling a cheap loser asshole?" yelled Knuckles who stood up and made a fist.
"Yeah, you better watch your mouth pal! My date might be cheap, but he is no loser!" said Rouge, angry and offended by the wolf's comment.
"Come on babe…" said the wolf, who had the nerve to put his arm around her shoulder, "...ditch this loser. Let's get to know each other. My name's Jasper. I'll show you a good time."
"Get your hands off her!" yelled Knuckles who lunged at Jasper. Before Jasper could react, Knuckles gave him a powerful uppercut. Jasper was flung high in the air. He hit the ceiling hard and fell down on the floor. Everyone in the restaurant gasped. Some took out their smartphones and took pictures and videos. Jasper tried to get up but he couldn't. He passed out because Knuckles had knocked him out.
Knuckles smirked and then turned to face Rouge.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked the bat.
Rouge smiled, slightly blushing.
"Yeah, I am. Thanks." she said.
The waiter came up to them and he looked terrified of Knuckles.
"Um...so do you guys still want to order?"
"I think it's best we leave." said Rouge.
"Yeah." said Knuckles.
The bat and echidna left the restaurant and walked down the block.
"Well, I think we're officially banned from that restaurant." said Rouge, chuckling.
Knuckles laughed.
"Good, you should never go back there. It's a waste of your money." said Knuckles, laughing.
"Hey um...thanks for sticking up for me back there." said Rouge.
"Yeah…" said Knuckles, rubbing the back of his neck, "...I mean, the guy was a jerk so whatever. No biggie."
Rouge smiled when she noticed that Knuckles was blushing.
"Aw, he defended me and now he's all embarrassed about it. He's so cute." she thought to herself.
"Well, since we didn't get a chance to eat, I'm famished." said Rouge. "We should find another restaurant to eat."
"It better be a reasonably priced restaurant!" said Knuckles.
"Don't worry it will be." said Rouge, laughing.
Knuckles chuckled.
"Hey! You! Rouge the Bat!" said a voice.
Rouge and Knuckles turned around. They saw a pink furred fox and a tiger. The fox's name was Janelle and the Tiger's name was Zack.
"Oh shit." said Rouge.
Uh oh! This don't seem good! Who are Zack and Janelle? What business do they have with our favorite, sexy bat? Will they interrupt Rouge and Knuckles' date? Well y'all gotta keep reading to find out don't ya?
