Hey everyone. So here's the deal, I thought of this story idea while playing Sonic Riders, which may I add, is very addicting after you haven't played it for about a month and a half. Anyways, I'm only going to update this about once a week, because I don't want to slow down on my other story. I hope you all enjoy this!
Knuckles was sitting in front of his Master Emerald, as usual. Things got so boring when Eggman wasn't around to cause trouble. He just sat there, thinking to himself. He was wondering when Rouge was going to come by to make another sad attempt at stealing the emerald. Just then he heard a rustling in the bushes.
"I guess I spoke to soon," He said to himself standing up, getting ready for her. He waited for about a minute, but no one came out. "You can come out now Rouge, I know your there."
"You mistook me for Rouge?" A familiar voice said. Just then, Wave the Swallow jumped out of the bush. "Do I look like a low life thief!"
Knuckles smiled at what she had just said. "Do you think before you talk? So I'm guessing you and your moron friends came to steal my emerald. You can show yourselves cowards!" He yelled in the air, waiting for Jet and Storm to come out.
"They won't be coming out, they're not even here,"Wave said.
"Well what are you doing here then? I've never seen you guys spilt up at all, except during the Ex Grand Prix," he stated.
"Jet sent me on a solo mission, he thinks I'm more sneaky than Storm, guess he's not a COMPLETE birdbrain," Wave said jokingly. Knuckles couldn't help but snicker.
"So, why do you want the Master Emerald anyways?" Knuckles asked, getting in a fighting stance.
"Not sure why, Jet didn't tell me why he needed it, but he says he does, so I must bring it back to him!" She said, taking flight into the air (Don't forget, she is a bird!). She flew and landed right on the emerald.
"Oh no ya don't!" Knuckles yelled as he leaped towards her, knocking her off the emerald.
"Owwww! You idiot, get off me!" Wave yelled. Knuckles stood up, she seemed hurt. "What is your problem! How dare you attack me!"
"I told you not to touch the emerald!" He yelled back at her.
"My arm feels like it's sprained, and it's all your fault!" She yelled. For some reason, Knuckles felt bad. He didn't mean to hurt her, he was only trying to protect the Master Emerald.
"Let me take a look at it," He said as he walked over to her. He examined her arm closely.
"...Well...?" Wave said impatiently, tapping her foot.
"Looks fine, it should stop hurting in a few hours, that's my guess, but I'm no doctor," He said jokingly.
" Well, you still should have been more careful!" She said.
" I'm sorry," Knuckles said looking down at the ground annoyed. It was not easy for him to apologize. "I was only doing it, for the sake of the emerald..."
"Well, I understand that part I guess, but how am I supposed to go back and explain to them why I don't have the emerald?" Wave asked while sitting down on the steps of the alter.
"Why do you hang out with those freaks anyways?" Knuckles asked. "If you ask me, your way better than them."
"...Thanks," Wave said surprised, she wasn't expecting that. "To be honest, there are time where I just want to quit that team! Those two act like some of the biggest air head I've ever seen sometimes! Storm is just and idiot, and Jet doesn't care about responsibility one bit!"
"So why don't you ditch them? You could find other people to hang out with then them. And if you can't find anyone else, you know where to find me..." Knuckles said.
"Awww, your pretty sweet..." Wave said. Knuckles started to blush.
"Uhh, thanks," He responded, he diffidently was not expecting that. The two started to carry out in deep conversation, but little did they know that they were being watched.
"What in the world is this? Knuckles...and Wave together? What could they possibly be holding a conversation about?" Rouge asked her. She was watching them from up in a nearby tree. Just then her heart dropped. Knuckles had just kissed Wave on the cheek! "Since when did Knuckles...start liking Wave?" She asked sadly.
So what do you guys think? This may have not been that good, but the next chapter will be a little better I think. And for this story, I"m starting something I've seen other people do. I won't post the next chapter until I have at least 5 reviews. So you know that means that you have to review!
