Invitation

The nextday a letter came from an old friend "Hey it's Sonic the Hedgehug and I'm planning a gettogether so come on bi okay?"

"Sonic? I have not hear from him in a nerve." Knuckles said.

"We sood go." Tikal said.

"Ok" Knuckle agree.

So tehn they went and got the directiouns from to the place and glide off Angle Isle to the place.

Welcome!!

Knuckles and Tikal saw almost everyone. Sonic & Tails, Amy, Cream, Big,Chaotix, Gamma , and Omega .

Its been five years since they were seen again but they got along fine as well.

Sonic is still is cocky old self looking for adventure but adventure is harder to come by witch depress him. Tails is a member of Mensa Amy gave up on tiring to garb Sonics attention a time long ago and has mellowed slightly with having the fulltime job as a secretary.. Cream is now in kindgarden and plays with the Choa after Cheese became a Herochaos and decended into heaven. Big is still really big and friendly and is still buddies with Froggy. Gamma was bought back from Imagineryworld and has become friends with Omega. Omega had his ai tweaked to become more productive in society. Vector is in custody of the Charmey that takes medication. Espio quietly left the Chaotix Detectives to opened up a dojo and completely gave up his a private investor life.

They talked of many thing like to which to catch up for themselves for hours

At some point Knuckles notice something.

"Were is Shadow?"

"Oh. He rarely come to Earth. He just stays in the ARK to protect it. That reminds me don't you have a emerald to protect." Sonic ask

"Yes but no one comes aymore anyway." Knuckles shrugged. "Didnt Shadow work with Rouge?"

"Yes. But he decided to quit after Rouge tried to convince him to become an apprentice thief."

"Some things never change." Knuckles chuckled at Rough.

Then Knuckles broke the ice.

"Anyway how's Eggman treating you?"

Everyone paused in the middle of there party stared at Eggman.

"Knuckles." Sonic said.

"Eliminated." Omega sparked.

"Huh?" Knuckles said.

Amy shook her head. "Sonic, go bring Knuckles their its not far away."

Sonic nodded and walked Knuckles & Tikal to somewere.

"Are we visiting him now?" Knuckles ask.

"Were here."

Knuckles looked down.

I V O R O B O T N I K

1963 - 2007

'You know what they say, the more the merrier!'

Knuckles stared in disbelief. Sure he was a madsiencist but was he really gone?!

"...Huh." Knuckles spoke up. "I ve nevor realised how much he brought us together, you no?"

It was true that Eggman somehow brought people together. Sonic and Knuckles - Knuckles and Tikal - would nevor have met!

"How did he die?" Tikal said at last.

"Oh." Sonic said while kicking some dirt in boredom. "He commited a suicide. He coodnt take over the world so he took his life. Jumped into a grinder, real crazy stuff. To be onesht I nevar wanted him to be dead I always thought he genuinely needed help. This happint not long after you and Tikal took it off and lived in Angle Isle. All his ambition down the draino. Some guy took over his company Robotnik Corp and converted it to not be evil. Almost sad. I gess you nevor hear become you were so isolate from the wrold."

"Indeed." Tikal silently spoke.

"Rest in piece, bastard." Knuckles said to the shock of Sonic and Tikal.

How can he give up that so easily? Im got this far and all I've head were sceond thoughts!

"Anything else we should know?" Knuckles change the subject irritated.

"No." Sonic said while sipping his bear.

"Ok." Knuckles said. "Can we go now?"

"Wait! I gess you should know one thing to." Sonic said."

"Wait?" Knuckles ask.

"Can you guys tone it down around Cream?" Sonic said. "I forget to meantion thrat earlier.

"Why?" Tikal ask.

"Well see, her mom she's really really sick. I don't know what's up exactly but her moms in the hospital. Cream is living with Amy now Just be a little more sensative around her is what I mean. She's already lost Cheese now she might lose someone else well."

"Alright." Knuckles said without another word went to the place.

"That was slightly unpleasant." Knuckles said.

The party continued normally until Cream spoke up to Knuckles.

"So Uncle Knux can you tell me the story between you and Ms. Tikal?"

Uncle Knux? Knuckles Thought then remembered whar Sonic said and dismised it.

"Sure."

"I bet it was romantic!" Cream giggled.

You bet on the wrong horse.
