Sonic was desperately seeking a hiding place from the pink menace known as Amy. It wasn't that he didn't like her, he just felt uncomfortable when she gave him her death hugs and claimed her love for him. He knew he could easily outrun her but she would catch up to him eventually, so he opted to go into hiding. At first he considered hiding in Tails' house but he soon realised how risky it was when he saw Amy walking down the lane to Tails' house.

"Great. Now what am I supposed to do?" as if on cue an idea popped into his head and a massive grin stretched across his face, "I know…I'll go visit Knuckles. He's always alone on that massive rock of his; talking to somebody will do him good." And with that he sped to Angel Island, eager to see his pal Knuckles.

As usual, Knuckles stood on top of the shrine of in order to get a full view of the land surrounding the island, when something caught his eye in the distance: Sonic.

"Is that Sonic?" he asked himself, although he already knew it was him. "Still though…" he said, with a mischievous smirk slowly appearing on his face, "Can't be too careful."

The blue hedgehog was now on the island looking for his pal. What he didn't expect however was that his "pal" was closer than he expected. Before he knew it he was on the floor and felt as if he took a rocket to the face. He looked up and saw the figure of the red echidna stood there.

"Knuckles! What was that for!?" Sonic yelled at Knuckles.

"Oh sorry!" Knuckles said in a feigned apologetic tone, "I thought you were one of Eggman's robots trying to steal the master emerald."

"Is that so?" replied Sonic, not believing his rival. Knuckles just started laughing.

Knuckles, after regaining his composure, asked Sonic what he was doing on the island.

"Just checking on a friend," Sonic said as he got up and wiped the dirt from his legs.

"Really…?" Knuckles said obviously not believing Sonic.

Sonic tried to look hurt when he said, "Yeah, Don't you trust me?"

It took less than a second for knuckles to answer: "No."

"That's alright you're still my friend Knux," Sonic replied, deliberately using the nickname Knuckles hated.

"Let's just cut to the chase," Knuckles said through gritted teeth, "Why are you really here?"

Sonic sighed in defeat, he would know sooner or later anyway. Sonic began a lengthy and dramatic story on why he was on the island, over exaggerating many of the details like running from Amy for days without food or water.

After a long silence, Knuckles, under his breath, stated, "You're hiding from Amy…" Sonic only nodded and gave a thumbs up, "And you want to hide on Angel Island?"

"Yep."

"…Fine," Sonic jumped up in happiness after hearing this, "You can stay but stay away fr-"

"Yeah, I know the glowing rock. Got it."

Knuckles felt the anger welling up inside him, "I told you to stop calling the master emerald a rock!"

"Jeez, calm down Knucklehead I was only joking."

Deep down knuckles knew he had just made a mistake.
