Knuckles sat at the edge of Angel Island lonely. He was the protector of the Master Emerald, yet he was not happy. He wanted more. He did not have a happy life like a normal echidna should. Usually he would just sit at the edge of Angel Island gazing at the sea below for hours. This isn't fair! I want to be free! I want to live normal! Just like that blue hedgehog does! Knuckles thought. He stood up and took one last look at the sea below before going to the Master Emerald. But what he really hated the most was that he didn't have anyone. No one to tell his biggest secrets, no one to talk to… No one to love. The red echidna sat lonely by the Emerald gazing at the grass as it moved to and fro. He was just starting to drift to sleep when he was startled by a sound in the bushes. Who goes there? He commanded. Calm down, it's just me! A familiar voice said. Sonic walked out of the bushes. Oh, I thought it was someone else. Knuckles said scratching the back of his head. So what do you want hedgehog? He said sitting back down. Just thought you needed someone to talk to. Sonic said sitting down on a rock. No thanks, I'm uh good. Yea lets just say that. Whatever, but Knucklehead you really need to get out their, go meet girls! You're 20 years! You aren't getting any younger! Hedgehog don't worry I'm fine! Whatever you say. Sonic said and without any further ado he jumped off the edge. A few hours later Knuckles went to his house. He was bored, he was tired but he was mostly hungry. But he dared not to cook, the last time he did that he practically burned down the house. He took a sip of water and went of to his bed. There he lay staring at the ceiling. He looked at the empty spot next to him. Maybe Sonics right, maybe I should find someone. He put his hands on his head in frustration. Oh I don't know, everything's just so hard! Well I am lonely. But I should just face it… Who would like me? He ran these thoughts over and over in his head until agony lured him to sleep.
Rouge sat in her bed running a fiery red color over her nails, humming to one of her favorite songs. Suddenly the phone rang. She jumped out of her bed and grabbed it. Hello? Rouge said wedging the phone on her shoulder. Oh hey Shadow. Hi Rouge. Just calling to see if you wanted to hang out on Friday. Uh hold on. She ran over to the calendar putting her finger right under Friday. Awesome! Okay, I just need to get some food for this house. It's like a bare cell in here. Shadow laughed. So where we going? I wanted to see if you wanted to go to the movies. Yea, um okay, so what time you coming Shady? Probably 7. Shadow said arranging the phone so he could hear her better. Great! See you then! Rouge said and hung up the phone. Shadow and Rouge had been going out for a pretty long time, but they seemed to like each other a lot. They had kissed before, they had made out once but that was pretty much it. Rouge picked up her nail polish and started to do her nails again. After a few minutes she set it down. She began to think about Shadow, and how long she had been going out with him. She started to think that maybe it was time to go out with someone else. Maybe I should break up with Shadow. Well I have to admit he is cute… He seems to like me a lot, well I like him to but maybe it's time to move on. He'll probably take it pretty hard but still when I went to the mall with Amy yesterday I saw this really cute red dude. I wonder if he noticed me. Did he? Even if he did notice me, I don't know where he lives. She ran her fingers through her hair. It felt stiff. She walked over to the bathroom to take a bath. She turned on the water. Steam started to rise as she took off her shirt and jeans. She got in slowly adjusting to the water and moaned as she rested on her bath pillow. She grabbed the shampoo and ran it through her hair. She washed it off quickly. Her arms floated up as she thought of Shadow and that guy she saw at the mall. She wondered witch one she liked better. She decided she liked Shadow better because she didn't even know the other guy. I guess I won't break up with him after all, he acts like he'll do anything to protect me and I trust him… Do I? Yea, of course I do. He's sweet, sensitive and adorable. Who wouldn't like Shadow? I guess I'm pretty lucky to be going out with him. Nah, I shouldn't break up with him. Plus I have a lot of fun with him. But just in case… I'll consider it. Her fur tingled as the water ran over it, she felt soothed and relaxed. After a few minutes she got out. She wrapped the towel around her as she walked out of the restroom with her white hair-dripping wet. The phone rang once more. She quickly answered. Hello?
Hey Rouge, do you mind if I spend the night at your house, my sheets are wet. Shadow asked hopefully. And may I ask why they are wet? Rouge asked teasingly. I didn't pee! A hedgehog like my superior intellect won't pee in its bed! All right, all right! You can stay! I'll get the sofa ready. She said sitting down in a red leather chair. Well, uh actually, I was um wondering that if I could uh you know. Shadow said barley getting the words out of his mouth. You know what? Rouge said smiling. Don't mock me woman! Shadow said tensely. Just tell me what you want. Rouge said quietly. If- if I could sleep with you! He said so quickly that Rouge could barley make out what he was saying. Oh. She said so quietly that Shadow could hardly hear what her response was. Um Shadow, you're my boyfriend and all but I don't think where're to that level yet. She said twirling her hair with one hand. Oh, well I guess I can wait. Shadow said a bit disappointed. It's not that hard. Maybe next time, but your welcome to stay here whenever you want. Rouge said trying to make Shadow feel better. Well whatever I'll be there in a bout 5 minutes. He said casually. Okay whatever. She said and hung up the phone.
Knuckles sat up. But there was that girl at the mall yesterday, she was looking at me, she was pretty and she looked like she was hanging out with Amy, maybe I should ask her, yea I'll ask her tomorrow, I'll just see if Tikal lets me go. Well I hope so. I'll find a way to convince her. Knuckles got up and stared out the window. The stars were glistening bright. The moon shone like it had never shone before. The night was beautiful, but the problem was there was no one to spend it with. He sighed and stared at the ground for a few minutes before climbing into bed and drifting off to sleep once more.
As Rouge got into her pajamas the doorbell rang. She quickly answered it. Hi Shady. She said opening the door for him. Hey Rouge. He said planting a small kiss on her forehead. Rouge sat on the couch gesturing for Shadow to sit next to her. He did as he was told and sat next to her. She jumped on top of Shadow planting kisses down his neck. She returned back up to his lips licking his mouth begging for entrance. Shadow finally opened up. His eyes were wide as if he had never seen this side of Rouge before. His tongue explored her mouth until it finally found hers. They played like this for a few minutes before Rouge broke away. Rouge sat back up and stared at her hands as if she were highly embarrassed. Shadow just leaned against the couch uncomfortably staring at her. The silence in the room made it highly uncomfortable. Wow. Shadow said breaking the silence. Yea, wow here too. Gosh, she's so damn hot. I can't believe I just made out with someone as hot as her. Well it's not my fault, she jumped me. Too bad she didn't let me freaking sleep with her. We would have had fun. Lot's and lot's of fun. Shadow kept thinking, while Rouge stared at him blankly before snapping her fingers in front of his face. Shady, are you okay? Rouge asked worryingly. Uh, yea I'm fine. Right. Rouge said nodding her head. Um Shady, I think I'll let you sleep with me. She said smiling. Really? Shadow said excitedly. No. Rouge said teasingly. Uh, you're so gullible. That's why you're my Shady. She said grabbing his face and giving him a kiss on the lips. She walked off to the restroom to brush her teeth. He gave her a annoyed look before laying down on the sofa.
