A Knuckles and Rouge Story

Knuckles was sitting back, leaning on the Master Emerald, with his eyes closed. It was a beautiful, bright and clear day. Knuckles seemed to be enjoying the nice peace and quiet day on Angel island. Even though he did at times hate being all alone, today he just wanted to sit back and relax all day. Too bad his wish couldn't be granted.

"Hey Knuckie, long time no see." Rouge said sitting on the emerald.

Knuckles opened his eyes and looked up to see her above him. He quickly stood and looked at the beautiful bat. To his surprise she wasn't wearing her usual heart suit. She was just wearing a simple white T-shirt and plain light blue, tight jeans. Her shirt was tucked in her jeans. He then looked up to her face and saw that she was smiling at him. "What are you doing here batgirl?" he asked her.

"I just thought I'd see how my favorite echidna was doing.." She replied to him.

"What are you really doing here Rouge?" he asked her. "Come to steal the Master Emerald again?" he said putting up his fists.

"Incase you haven't noticed, I'm not wearing my suit."

"Yeah, so?"

"Do I look like I'm ready to steal your precise Emerald?" she said to him. She was right. He always sees her in her suit whenever she's after something.

"Then why are you here?"

"I told you. I just came by to visit."

Knuckles stared at he confused. "Why?"

Rouge frowned. "Because..."

"Because...?" He said urging her to go on.

"Because... I missed you!" She said happily.

Knuckles shot an even more confused look at her. "Wha-" He was interuppted when she gave him a huge tight hug. Knuckles blushed at her sudden movement, but quickly shook it off. "Hey.. get off of me!" he yelled trying to get her off.

Rouge pulled away from him. She gave him a trusting smile that Knuckles has not seen for a long, long time. Knuckles still stared at her confused. He then noticed she started walking away down the steps.

"Hey! Where are you going?" He yelled to her.

"Exploring." she simply said. Knuckles was now seriously really confused. She comes, hugs, and now wants to explore.. What the heck! Girls are such an enigma most of the time.

He then noticed how far she's gotten already. "Hey.." He said reaching out to her. He looked back to the M.E. He couldn't just leave it there! Someone can snab it! But Rouge.. there is no way he's gonna let her wander around by herself. He cursed to himself and ran to catch up with her.

Once he finally caught up with her, he stopped right in front of her. Rouge raised an eyebrow at him. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"What are YOU doing!?" He yelled. "I have a master emerald to protect and there's no way I'm letting you go out there on your own."

"I didn't know you cared. "She smiled at him. Knuckles just rolled his eyes. "Look, I can take care of myself. You can go ahead and watch your precise emerald. I'll be fine.." She said walking passed him, but Knuckles grabbed her arm.

"No, your staying with me where I can watch both you and the emerald."

"Then why don't you take the emerald with you." She said.

"I can't do that! The island will fall."

Rouge then suddently pulled her arm away from him. "Your not the boss of me echidna! I can do whatever I please. If I want to explore, I'm gonna explore!" She spat at him and continued walking away.

Knuckles then shouted to where he was standing "This is my island Rouge! You may do whatever you please elsewhere, but not here! Not in my territory!"

Rouge shouted back without looking back "Your territory or not, I'm still going Knucklehead!"

Knuckles ran a couple steps but stopped. He looked back in the direction of the M.E, back to Rouge. He sighed and cursed to himself again while running to catch up with Rouge.


Knuckles and Rouge continued to walk in the deep forest, not saying one word to each other. Rouge was very happy to know that this forest was really quiet. Back in the city she always hears talking, mechanical objects moving, and other crap. She hated it some of the time, but other times she didn't really care. Rouge smiled to herself enjoying the silence until Knuckles spoke up.

"We should be reaching a lake soon." He said.

Rouge didn't answer but kept walking ahead. Of course Knuckles must know where everything is on this island. Something then clicked in her head. "Hey Knuckles?"

"What?" He said a little crudely.

"You know everything and where everything is on this island right?" She asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes, I do."

Rouge walked up to him and grabbed hold of his arm. "You think you can give me a little tour?" She smiled at him.

Knuckles became nervous since she was so close to him. "Uh.. sure.." He said. "But I'm only going to show you the places I go to most of the time. Once we're done, do you promise me that you'll leave?" He asked her.

Rouge frowned once she heard that. She didn't want to leave. She actually scheduled this to spend a whole day with him. She just got here! Why does he want her to leave! "No." She simply said.

"What?"

"No, I actually plan on staying here for the rest of the day."

"WHAT! Why?" He yelled. He was still leading her to the big lake.

"Because, it's nice and quiet here." She told him. "And I want to spend this day with you..." She thought to herself.

"Thats it? Because it nice and quiet? Thats why you came here?"

Rouge placed her left hand on her chin. "Well... I did want to see if there were any gorgeous jewels around here. You think you can show me some?" She asked.

Knuckles felt anger rising up inside him. "You came here... because you wanted jewels? Well I'd hate to burst your bubbles batgirl, but there aren't any anywhere around here." He stopped moving and turned around to face her. "So I guess that means you can leave now right?"

"Wrong. I still want you to show me around."

Knuckles gave her a cold glare. "Why?"

"Why what?" She asked.

"Why do you want to look around? I told you that there wasn't any jewels around here. Why do you even want to stay here? I thought we were rivals.. I thought you only come here for my Emerald. What are you up too Rouge?"

Rouge sighed. "I came because... because.. I.." Rouge then lowered her head.

"Because you what?"

"I... because I-" Rouge was interuppted when they both heard a huge splash. Knuckles and Rouge both looked at each other for a second before running as fast as they can to the nearby lake.


Angel Island Lake

Once they arrived at the lake Rouge couldn't help but look at it in awe. The lake was very beautiful. There was a big waterfall on the otherside of it. The sun also made the lake sparkle making it look even more beautiful. It seemed fresh, so it was drinkable. Rouge then turned back to the noise she heard a couple minuts ago and began looking around. She saw Knuckles already doing the same thing. They didn't see anything, but the ocean and they knew the culprit was hiding.

"Show yourself!" Knuckles yelled. "I know your here!"

Seconds later they both saw a small figure rise up from the lake. The sun was really bright, so they couldn't really see who it was. It soon sarted swimming closer to them. Knuckles and Rouge got into there fighting position ready what this thing is and what it will do. As the figure got closer automatically reconized him...

"Charmy?!!?!" They both said.

"Hey guys! How are you!" Charmy said happily.

Neither of them answered, just stared confused at the bee.

"There you are Charmy, I thought we lost you!" A familiar voice yelled. Knuckles and Rouge both looked up at the cliff to see two figures known as Vector and Espio.

"Vector, Espio?" Knuckles said confused. "What are all doing here?" he asked them.

"We came to see you!" Charmy said. Espio then came down into the water.

"Why did you want to see me?" he asked.

Espio popped his head out and started swimming over next to Charmy. "Because since your one of our good friends, we haven't seen you in a long time, so we decided to pay a little visit." Charmy said.

"Why didn't you guys just meet me where the M.E is?"

"We did, but you wern't there so we went in search for you." Espio said.

"HEY! Guys!" Vector yelled from the top of the cliff. Everyone looked up at him. "How do I get down from here..."

"Just jump!" Charmy yelled.

Espio sweatdropped. "I don't think that will bee a good idea.." He said..

"What!!?" Vector yelled. "I can't hear you, speak up!"

"JUMP!" Charmy yelled louder.

"Well... alright.. here I come.." He said about ready to jump.

Knuckles, Rouge and Espio panicked and climbed a tree. Charmy stood there confused at what they were doing. "What are you gu-" He couldn't finish when a huge wave came splashing all over him.

All three just sweatdropped as they saw this. Vector then popped his head out of the water and saw the three coming down from the tree. He wondered why they were up there for a second, but shrugged it off and started swimming to land. When he came he saw Charmy knocked out near a tree. "What happened to him?" He said pointing to Charmy."

"He's just... ya know... lying there.." Espio said.

Vector raised an eyebrow. "Whatever, well Knuckles.." He said looking at Rouge. "It looks like your not alone."

Knuckles looked at Rouge, then blushed. "Uhh... well... she came here."

"I didn't know we were interuppting something."

"Your not!" Knuckles yelled. "Nothing has happened. I was just showing her around is all."

"Oh, we're not interuppting anything, a date?" Vector continued.

"No!"

"Okay then! I guess you won't mind us joing you!" He said.

"WHAT!" They both yelled.

Vector smiled. "Yes, we haven't seen you in a long time Knuckles and today is our only free time. So we decided to spend that day with you." Espio nodded his head agreeing with Vector.

Rouge frowned. She was really hoping to spend this hole day with Knuckles alone, but I guess thats not happening. Today was her only free day as well, and she has no choice.

Knuckls turned to Rouge and saw that she was not smiling at Vector, who was smiling back at her. He then sighed thinking she wanted them to stay. "Okay, you can come with us. we're doing a tour around this place so yes, you can come."

"Oh cool a tour!" Charmy yelled. He seemed to gain consiousness.

"Alright everyone." Knuckles said. "Lets go." And with that, they all started walking in a differant direction another place.

"Where are we going this time Knuckie?" Rouge asked.

"There's this place I always go to to think. It's a cliff with a really nice view."

Rouge smiled. "This is like a vacation, but only in one day."

"Yeah I know!" Charmy said happily flying right next to Rouge.

"Yes, and once we get there you better not try and funny stuff Charmy!" Vector yelled.

"Hehehehehehe..."
