Chapter 3

Amy's POV

I decided to try and forget about yesterday, but believe me I am not going to be the one to apologise. I'm always expected to go begging for forgiveness and even then I'm not guaranteed a sorry in return.

But I'm also not prepared to let my fight with Sonic ruin my day. I made my way over to see Knuckles at Angel Island I found him at the Master Emerald temple, exactly where he said he would be, yet I noticed the absence of Rouge.

"Hey Rouge not here?" I asked.

"Hmm, no she doesn't get here for another hour." Knuckles replied.

"Okay well want to get started; I just need to know a few things about you and your daily life and stuff." I said.

"Okay well I usually spend most of my time here guarding the Master Emerald, which is a great honour and as one of the last of my clan I feel proud to have that connection. I also like spending time round my friend's houses watching sports and just hanging out."

"And anything you don't like?" I asked.

"People stealing the Master Emerald." He said bluntly.

'Of course, how silly of me' I thought.

"Any hobbies?" I asked.

"Treasure hunting, discovering stuff and learning about potential treasure mines." He said.

"Well thanks I think that's all I need I'll just stay here and wait for Rouge." I said.

Knuckles went and sat back by the Master Emerald basking in the rising sun and I got to writing about him. Knuckles was probably quiet difficult to describe even though he doesn't have a very complex character he is very private and prefers to be alone. Although after sometime I managed to get a half decent paragraph.

Knuckles is an echidna and one of the last of his tribe, the Knuckles clan, his job is to guard the Master Emerald which is something he enjoys as it helps build the connection to his past. Knuckles is also an avid treasure hunter and enjoys looking for treasure and rare artifacts. He doesn't like it when people try to steal the Master Emerald, although this is mainly only Rouge and Dr. Eggman.

Knuckles tends to prefer peace and quiet most of the time and would rather be alone than surrounded by company, he likes to live his own life which is well respected by his friends. Yet Knuckles is always there to help and make sure his friends are safe, even if he doesn't want to admit it and can have the occasional temper when riled up.

I checked through my work once more and waited a few more minutes until Rouge arrived.

"Alright Knuxie I'm here to collect my- Amy what are you doing here." Rouge asked suspiciously.

"I'm just writing Knuckles bio for my book and he told me you would be here too so I was waiting for you so I cans tart yours." I said innocently.

It's funny how jealous they both get over each other.

"Oh well I guess I could spare you some time, seeing as I'm sure people will be dying to know about me." Rouge said arrogantly.

"Yeah I'm sure they're all at home now foaming at the mouths and rolling around the floor with anticipation." Knuckles replied sarcastically.

"Shut up!"

"Anyway Rouge I just need to know some stuff about you like what you enjoy and that." I said.

"Oh well in that case I guess I like finding gems and jewels seeing as I am the world's best treasure hunter." Rouge said.

"Thief more like."

"I thought I told you to shut it! Anyway I also enjoy going out and completing missions for GUN as well as visiting my favourite echidna." Rouge said teasingly while pinching Knuckles' face.

"Okay, and what don't you like, or any other particular hobbies you like to do?" I asked.

"Well I like having our monthly sleepover with all the girls as well as going shopping and just being out in general. I don't like it when people ignore me or disrespect me like some people we know do." Rouge said.

I left it there before a fight breaks out although I'm sure one will at some point in the next hour or so.

"Okay I'm just gonna stay here to write it, ignore me you two just continue on with your lives." I said.

They were swift to take my advice.

I sat back and watched the two interact, it was no surprise to everyone that knew them that they so obviously liked each other, they were practically obsessed and sure they fight but it's just a cover up in my opinion and there are times when they do get along and look like they enjoy each other's company.

It got to around 4pm and I was on my way home I got on the train and looked over Rouge's bio during my journey.

Rouge the bat is also a treasure hunter although sometimes she is referred to as a thief, but she can't help it she just knows what she wants, Rouge is very outspoken and you can always rely on her to tell you the truth, even if it's not what you always want to hear. Rouge also works for GUN and likes the work she does, she usually works alongside Shadow and our robot friend Omega. She dislikes people being rude and disrespectful towards her especially when it's uncalled for. Yet she still loves hanging out with her friends be it at a sleepover or shopping, as long as she's out with the people she likes spending time with she could be anywhere.

I finally arrived at the station and started to walk home, I liked walking through the town and the park particularly in the late afternoon as everything seemed to wind down and be peaceful.

Though the walk home is quite long this way and I had lots of time to think and I couldn't keep my mind off Sonic, I hate fighting or arguing with any of my friends it makes me feel sick, but I can't back down or I'll never get any respect and people will just walk all over me.

Besides he probably doesn't even care anyway, he never seems broken or distraught not even upset really, it's like he never even noticed. Ugh he can be so infuriating! I don't even know why I still keep feelings for him when he can be such a jerk.

*Sigh*…

Oh yeah I know why, cause he's not always a jerk. There are times when he can be incredibly compassionate and kind, of course these moments are rare, but they still happen and when they do he can make you feel like the most special person in the world, he makes you feel like you have a purpose, it's nice. Plus then there are times when no one's around and we go places together that just us know of and it's nice having that it's like our little secret. It's just nice.

Then he goes and ruins it by going back to jerk Sonic. It's like he has a meter in his brain so when he's too compassionate it moves right back to jerk, like it's trying to keep him in balance or something. There's no middle ground.

Well after that inner turmoil I got home and made myself some tea, got changed into my pyjamas and sat down in my living room to relax, boy were my feet and legs tired. I was sitting quite comfortably watching TV and drinking my tea when there was a knock at the door.

I got up with a huff grumbling to myself, who could that be at this time.

I opened the door with some force and had a passive aggressive expression, but was shocked at who it was.

"Hey Ames, mind if I come in. We need to talk."
