"Hey, who is that girl?" Rouge asked, looking over at a girl on the opposite side of the balcony. Knuckles was laying on one of the lounge chairs when he glanced over and then stared at her. She was sipping lemonade with a really odd bendy straw, leaning over the edge of the railing and staring out into the sea. It was a pretty hot day, and of course, everyone was wearing a bathing suit.
"Beats me…She looks really-" Knuckles was interrupted by Rouge kicking him off the chair. "HEY! WHAT'D YOU DO THAT FOR?!"
"FOR STARING!" Rouge fumed.
"Well excuse me for looking at the really weird bendy straw." He got back up and plopped on the chair, rubbing his waist. "I think I'll go talk to her." He got up, slipping on his sandals and walking over he leaned on the balcony, starting to talk. She laughed, but it made Knuckles stop where he was laughing and stammer, Rouge noticed his tail twitch and his hands fidget.
"Y-yeah so are you new around here?"
"Yup, I just moved here with some of my friends. We live on the west side; I'll invite you and your friend around sometime." She moved some of her bangs in front of her face.
"Oh, cool thanks."
"So I'll see you around some other time then?" She turned to him.
"Alright." He smiled in a friendly way.
She waved, turning around and walking away, actually showing off her really slimming bikini. Which was covered by her long brown hair, mostly.
"That girl…Ohhh!" Rouge was angry still, she stomped her foot.
"Hey, Rouge!" Amy called out, waving and running over.
Rouge turned around, her anger replaced with friendliness. "Oh hey Amy, I thought you were out chasing Sonic…again."
Any shrugged, "Nah, I think I'll get another girlfriend and ignore all boy-type relationships for the rest of my life!" She smiled.
Rouge laughed, while Knuckles rolled his eyes and enjoyed the sky again. "So, have you seen the new resident? She just moved in apparently. And it was right after that little outburst of Shadow's…"
"Oh...I see. So what, are they made for each other?"
"Maybe?" Rouge had an impish tone.
Amy punched Rouge playfully, a small smirk on her face. "Nah, I don't even think she's met any of us yet. Have you seen anyone out of the ordinary around? Or at least anyone new?"
"I think I just saw her on the balcony, Knuckles just talked to her."
Amy looked to him, but he was asleep. "Oh, well I'll ask him later. Do you know what she looked like?"
"She had this bug bush of brown hair, it was really long. I think she was a hedgehog."
"Alright, I'll see you guys around. And if she's around the area."
"Alright, I'll see you later then."
Amy walked off; Seems like this could be a chance to make a new friend.
