Author's Note

Hello there friends! I'm so glad you came to celebrate this special day with me! Today is the fifth anniversary of my fanfiction account, and, concurrently the fifth anniversary of my first fanfic. It's my ficiversary! Not only that, but it's my golden ficiversary!

I want to thank all of you guys and gals so much! I wish I could thank all of you by name, but this author's note is already getting to be pretty long. There are some names, however, that deserve special thanks and will recieve in the final poem.

I have prepared a cake, both a written one and an edible one. While I cannot hand you a slice of marble cake through the screen, I hope these written delicacies will suffice!

Red Velvet Cake


There are few things I like more than cake. My brothers, for example are far more important to me than cake.

Their red echidna friend, however, is not.

.

Despite sharing the name sake color of my favorite red velvet cake, there is no confusing the two.

And not just the obvious.

.

I guess you could say I'm a bit bossy, but I like to be in charge, making the calls.

When he's around however, it's very obvious that he's the guy in charge.

.

He is a good rock however. His resolve is unparalleled and he'll be there when the going gets tough.

My ex-fiance sure didn't.

.

He was soft and crumbly, sweet to the buds, but just doesn't sit well.

Just like a cake.

.

Maybe I need something sturdier than a cake of a man.

Maybe Knuckles isn't that bad after all.
