Bliss~

Knuckles woke up the next day and went into motion trying his best not to think about what happened the night before. He just wanted to be happy to be back home. The crimson prince started with his morning workout. He requested a workout room to be added to his quarters. His room wasn't the little boys room he once knew. It looked like a future king's room. Library, tech communication area, king sized bathroom, his own eating area, and dressing and bed room area was the biggest parts, especially his bed. Crazy as this sounds he requested his bed from his grandfather's castle. He found it more comfortable and…peaceful.

He was boxing when a knock came at the door. "Come on." He said catching his breath as an elderly squirrel came in smiling at him.

"My my, you've grown!" She squealed running up to him and hugging him despite the sweat that was dripping from him.

Knuckles chuckled only hugging her back. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." He said as she pulled away from him. "Now you have to go change your clothing."

The squirrel, who everyone called Aunt Eddna shook her head and rolled her eyes all with a smile.

"Nope. Those young girls will know who has the good connection to you." She said winking.

Knuckles shook his head before grabbing a towel and drying himself off before he would get ready to wash up and have breakfast.

"What brings you to my room?"

Eddna laughed loudly saying, "Well, big boys don't have play rooms anymore."

Knuckles chuckled again before watching a small girl peak in the door. "Grand- I meant Madam Eddna?"

Eddna looked back seeing a small squirrel girl looking from the crack in the door, her granddaughter Edena. "Well, come in Edena. Remember to address you highness." The grandmother said nodding her head in Knuckles direction.

Edena stood up straight and then bowed. "Welcome home your highness. I am Edena and if you need my grandmother you need me too!" She boosted standing back and giggling along with her grandmother.

Knuckles chuckled himself. "I see she's more you than her mother."

Edena got quiet as Eddna only chuckled lowly. "Well, of course, her mother died the same day she was born."

Eddna watched as Knuckles looked to Edena before he walked over to her and kneeled in front of her.

"I'm sorry for that. I know how it feels." He said getting Edena to look at him. "My mother died shortly before I hatched so I'll never know her except from the stories your grandmother tells me."

This made Edena smile and say, "Yeah she tells pretty good stories."

The small child and Knuckles laughed at this making Eddna smile. "Alright Edena, go get the other girls ready while I deliver my message to the prince."

Knuckles stopped the small girl knowing that she was about to bow. "You don't have to do that when you're alone with me."

Edena hugged him herself. "Now the older girls will be jealous!" She giggled running and bumping right into Lien-Da.

"I'm so sorry Lady Lien-Da." She pleaded bowing quickly and just as quickly getting up and running off.

Lien-Da sighed but not without rolling her eyes. She continued her stroll around the castle but stopping at Knuckles' room door seeing it was cracked. A little listening wouldn't hurt.

"I came with a message from your father you know…"

"I was starting to figure that out."

"It's not about last night, but your should know your 21st birthday is coming up and usually you would have been married off two years ago and gave us a energetic little echidna running around here by now."

"Oh come on…"

Eddna only laughed. "Oh hush, your father wants to have breakfast with you in his office privately."

"And I can only guess that, that is what the topic will be."

"Ehhh, it's gonna come up. I think he already has a suitor as well."

"I swear if it's the Acorn princess, I'm going to run away."

Eddna laughed so loud it was as if the doors were wide open. It actually annoyed Lien-Da for she never liked the elderly squirrel to begin with.

"My dear prince, you've only met the princess Acorn once. You haven't seen the beauty she has become now that she is a woman."

Knuckles sighed. "Whatever. Get out so I can get ready."

Eddna chuckled and as Lien-Da heard her footsteps coming to the door she walked causally passed it.

"Have a wonderful day your highness." With that Eddna closed his door and left. She was about to walk away till she looked by the corner of her eye and seen Lien-Da down the hall. She smiled chuckling lowly. "You don't fool me child…You never could." She said walking away the opposite direction, knowing very well that Lien-Da heard her every word and she meant for her to.

Knuckles washed up and made his way to his father's private quarters because when his father said private it meant private. His grandfather, Sabre might attend but that was it.

Knuckles arrived just as his father did. They gave each other a hug and good morning before taking their seats across from one another. They made small chit chat with Knuckles mostly talking about how he traveled the world at times with his grandfather, meeting people and experiencing things he thought was both, terrible and beneficial to his growth in body and in mind. Locke enjoyed every minute of it. Even when Knuckles was a toddler running about and adventuring all over the castle and telling him about the little things he found that Locke already knew about. The joy Knuckles got from telling him about those things gave Locke joy. It was when he grew older that the problems started. Locke and Knuckles dodged those topics. After a while of telling of ones adventures and experiences the food arrived. Bacon, sausage, ham, eggs, grits, toast, pancakes, waffles, and French toast. A plate with a block of cheddar was placed on the table just in case along with the syrup, salt and pepper.

Knuckles and Locke waited a few minutes before eating knowing Sabre would show up after the food was placed on the table and not before like he taught them. Something both father and son would agree they couldn't stand. After what seemed like forever to the two echidna the former ruler finally showed up.

Sabre looked at them with a smile. "Well, good morning nice of you both to wait for me." He claimed sitting down at the end of the table while Knuckles and Locke only sighed and began picking what they wanted.

All that could be heard was forks and knifes hitting plates but Locke didn't want to get too full and not want to talk. He took a bite of his pancake before speaking.

"Knuckles, I'm sure Eddna told you what I wanted you to come here for and why it had to be private." He said as Knuckles nodded and seeing his mouth was full Locke continued. "Your going to be 21 in a month and usually 18 is the age we marry off the princess' or princes' but you were away and I really didn't want to marry you off at that young age."

Knuckles stopped chewing and was about to speak till he made sure he swallowed his food. "You wanted to wait till my birthday party for me to marry my suitor?"

Sabre couldn't hold in his laugh from the way Knuckles reacted. "No, my boy. It'll be an birthday/ engagement party."

Knuckles narrowed his eyes at his grandfather and father saying, "But I'm pretty sure I already know who you want me to marry so what will be the point?"

Locke chuckled lowly. "I know but your grandfather suggested it. I think it should be a mascaraed party, I mean you may not unmask Princess Sally but it'll fun for the other ladies."

"Very disappointing but fun." Sabre asked making Knuckles roll his eyes.

Knuckles sighed asking. "Didn't you get to choose mom?"

Locke and Sabre stopped smiling with Locke looking to Sabre and the old king looking down at his plate eating faster.

Locke scratched his head. "Actually yeah I did. Your grandfather didn't approve at first but he knew me and your mother were going to get married anyway rather I took the throne or not so…Just marrying Sally will be beneficial at the moment."

Knuckles raised an eyebrow looking to his grandfather and then looking to his father. "Is this part of the thing you was telling me about last night?"

Locke nodded saying, " I just received news today that Ivo Robotnik, all overlander and humans had declared war against all mobians the alliances of the kingdoms is what we need right now. No I haven't announced it to the kingdom as of yet."

Knuckles nodded understanding, he didn't really know Sally. He had only met her once when their father's had met to talk about respectable trading routes and all the other sorts.

"And what about the things going on in the kingdom?"

Locke sighed looking down in shame that he couldn't control his own kingdom. "Well, there has been war going on inside the kingdom itself. Echidna against wolves, wolves against hedgehogs, hedgehogs against foxes, you name it. And since our species is bigger and richer seems like we're getting most of the attacks but from what I understand we're the ones starting everything!" He yelled throwing his hands up.

Knuckles could see the frustration in his father's face. He did notice something different about his after when he first seen him he just didn't know what till now.

Locke took a deep breath before continuing. "That is why I ask that when you do go out please take Sonic with you at least. I trust him and he asked about you almost every week when he could."

Knuckles chuckled at that making sure to keep it to himself so he could throw it in his face. "I will father don't worry." He said looking to grandfather before continuing, "Grandfather taught me well."

Sabre winked at him finishing his food. "Well, Locke let's let the boy go get ready for another one of his adventures." He said getting up and walking out.

Locke sighed before eating a piece of ham. "We'll talk more later." He said as Knuckles nodded to him and watched him leave.

Knuckles soon got up himself after finishing the waffles and French toast. He took a little walk around the castle before coming to the training grounds and seeing Sonic training the young ones that would replace him one day. Some had to be as young as 12 and as old as 16. Knuckles smirked making his way down there.

"Alright guys and girls, you all actually did good today but your slacking." Sonic said walking back and forth in front of the lined children.

"Come on Sir, none of us messed up this time."

Sonic smirked. "Oh I know I was just seeing who would speak up on everyone's behalf." He chuckled as everyone whined but stopped before bowing. Sonic rolled his eyes while they weren't looking as he turned to see Knuckles walking up. "Well, well, look who it is."

Knuckles chuckled. "I hope your training them well." He said as they got up.

"Welcome back your majesty." They all said in unison.

"Thank you. You're all pretty good from what I see." Knuckles said as Sonic sighed.

"Alright, get out of here!" He yelled as the children laughed getting their things and running off to their next lesson. "Please don't be late again today for the afternoon, my father will be teaching!" He yelled before they disappeared.

Knuckles laughed seeing his old friend get frustrated by someone else was refreshing. "Seems the tables have turned."

Sonic scoffed, "Yeah right. What is you want princey?"

Knuckles narrowed his eyes at him before answering, "My father requested that I take you with me on my walk around the kingdom or least explore enough today."

Sonic slapped his forehead, "Yes I am the fastest knight but why me!?"

"Because you asked for it."

Knuckles and Sonic looked back to see a purple hedgehog with blonde curly patch of hair on the front of her head. Bernadette, also known as Bernie, Sonic's mother.

Sonic knew he was defeated as Bernie bowed before walking up to the prince and hugging him. "It's nice to know your back home with us." She said as Knuckles smiled to her.

"It actually feels good to be back." The red prince said.

Bernie only smiled looking to Sonic with a mother to child look. "You both better get ready, everyone is already crowding the streets now waiting on you." She said before looking to Knuckles and giving him a normal smile.

"Will do." Sonic grumbled as Knuckles laughed.

Bernie watched them both walk away before glancing at the shadow watching them. She smirked walking off, she knew who it was and why they were listening but she also knew there was nothing she could do.

Amy sighed leaning on the counter waiting for the next costumer. She really didn't care to do this she would rather be in the kitchen cooking. And the sakura hedgehog didn't just bake either. She was one of the best chefs in the restaurant that her mother and Vanilla added on to the bakery but since they were short on helping hands in the bakery shop here she was.

The bakery was now on the second floor while the restaurant took over the first. She liked being there seeing the look on the faces of the beings who ate her food and tasted it for their first time. There were many other restaurants but her mother and Vanilla's was the best in her eyes. She smiled leaning up and walking over to a picture of her when she was 12 and Cream, 11, when they were finally done with it. Their mothers, fathers and all the workers took a picture in front of the restaurant that they respectfully named, Athair's Cuisine. And just for that the King asked everyone to take a picture again with him in it.

Amy placed the photo back in it's place before, looking at the door when the bell went off.

"ROUGE!" She squealed and began laughing as the said bat glared at her.

"You do that on purpose when I have a hangover and you know it." The bat exclaimed before leaning onto the counter.

Amy rolled her eyes. "What do you want?"

Rouge smirked taking off her sunglasses. One thing about the bat she was never low on money. She always had new outfits and wore a new outfit every day. Amy almost envied her but how could she seeing as Rouge had it rougher than anyone she knew. Today's outfit was a black halter top suit with hot pink belt with a pure diamond and silver heart on the front of it. 'Bad' was in silver cursive across her chest in silver glitter. She had ear piecings going up her ear only stopping near the top with the bottom earring being a diamond and silver heart earring bud. The suit stopped at her knees while she wore hot pink high heels. She carried an expensive hot pink bag with her with hearts all over it. Her main colors were hot pink, black and white. Amy was surprised the diamond white Bat wasn't married yet, even noble men that hung out at her club were drooling over her. With all the offers Amy couldn't tell what the bat was waiting for.

Rouge playfully placed her hand on her face as if she was thinking. "Well…I need a biiiiiiiiiiig cake…. For my BIRTHDA!" She yelled hopping up and down while Amy laughed.

"Seriously?" She said taking out a pen and paper to write down her order. "How big are we talking? Because we already have a GIANT cake on the order board already." The sakura hedgehog pointed out as a matter of fact.

Rouge rolled her eyes. "Listen here pinky…I'm just kidding I just want a little heart shaped wine cake for myself, you and Cream and the guys too if they want any." She said playfully. Amy and Rouge both knew that Cream didn't drink.

Amy just narrowed her eyes at the bat, "Really, you know she doesn't drink and I'm not doing that to her. And I don't breaking up another fight between Shadow and Sonic."

"Oh come on, she needs to loosen up and you have to admit that was pretty funny."

Amy shook her head and quickly looked back to make sure her mother or Vanilla wasn't coming before coming from behind the counter.

"Listen here bat girl. My mother believes STRICTLY that me and Sonic are going out on a date to your restaurant that night and we won't have anything to do with your party. It took me WEEKS to convince her of that and you're NOT going to come in here and mess things up."

Rouge giggled. "Like she doesn't know, EVERYONE who is anyone will be there. Maybe even your mother."

Amy rolled her eyes before returning behind the counter. "Just keep it quiet. Plus the prince should be making his rounds around the neighborhood by now."

Rouge acted as if she shocked but really she had forgotten about that. "Well, I wonder if the big strong prince will stop by here." She said giving Amy a knowing look.

Amy chuckled. "Yes, I know Sonic will be with him."

"And Tails!"

Both women looked to see Cream almost completely covered in floor coming from the back. "I just got done speaking with him. He said Knuckles requested to stop by here himself!" She exclaimed. Amy and Rouge could tell that she more excited about Tails coming than anyone else.

"Well, I know it's going to be packed here so..." With that Rouge put back on her sunglasses and got ready to leave.

"Rouge, wait! Don't you want to say thank you?" Amy asked stopping the bat right in her tracks.

Rouge had to keep her composure as she turned around smiling, "Maybe some other time."

Amy raised an eye brow as she smirked saying, "Sorry to say it's gonna have to be now."

Rouge went pale as she looked seeing the streets get so crowded that people was blocking the door to the restaurant and cheering. She cursed under her breathe as she made her way back to the counter and leaned on it causally. It's alright Rouge, you can keep your composure with any other male, and you sure can do it for this one…even though you stole the most precise thing from him. Rouge thought as she sighed.

Amy and Cream giggled to one another taking her nervousness was from not wanting to see the prince right now and definitely not in front of them. They watched as the crowd parted and Sonic and Tails followed by a lot children rich and poor before Knuckles made his way in chuckling at how annoyed Sonic was.

Cream giggled as some of the children she knew ran up to her and the others, mainly the poor ones, ran up to Rouge.

" LOOK WHO CAAAAAME!" One very excited little lady bug exclaimed bouncing up and down while holding Rouge's hand. She went by the name of Niza and was only 4 years old.

Rouge giggled as the other children excitedly asked her to look at the prince. She sighed but yet smiled saying, "I see him, I see him."

Amy and Sonic seemed to be talking among themselves with Amy giggling more than talking because Sonic seemed to be annoyed by the children more than anything. Tails and Cream were naturals with them while Knuckles just couldn't stop chuckling at how excited they seemed to be with him around.

"Well, didn't think I would get this much attention." The prince exclaimed as he made his way up to the counter with where everyone was.

Sonic narrowed his eyes at him. "Seriously?" Amy only hit him and smiled at Knuckles.

"Pay grumpy here no mind. I wasn't surprised you wanted to stop by here on your little tour."

Knuckles chuckled saying, "Way wouldn't I? I especially had to when I saw what you guys named the restaurant. Thanks by the way."

Amy and Cream blushed. "It was no problem." They both said as Amy came from around the counter greeting the children as she walked over to Rouge bringing attention to the bat who was trying to not bring attention to herself.

"Welllll, Knuckles this is someone I would like for you to meet but believe it or not you guys kinda already met." The sakura hedgehog said placing her arm over her friend's shoulder.

Knuckles looked to the bat feeling like she was familiar and he especially like the fact that she was good with children from what he could see. She was better than Sonic and that was good enough.

"MS. ROUGE HIS GOING TO TALK TO YOU!" Niza exclaimed as Amy laughed shooing the children from around her and little Knuckles get a good look at Rouge's figure.

The prince could tell she worked extra hard on her legs because they were more toned than anything else and her hips were wide giving him that idea even more. He could even say he was attracted to her.

Rouge giggled before bowing then placing her hand out for Knuckles to shake. "Welcome home Prince. As my friend did say we've met before but not under positive circumstances."

Knuckles then put the pieces together. "It's you!"

Rouge almost lost her composure before he continued.

"You're that bat girl I helped years ago."

Niza ran up to Knuckles hugging his leg and yelling, "YES AND WE THANK YOU FOR THAT!"

Rouge calmly pulled the child to her giggling, "Not more grateful than I am."

Knuckles almost blushed by controlled it saying, "It's was no problem I wasn't about to allow Lien-Da to hurt an innocent child not that she, her self, would have."

Amy and everyone looked to him with a shocked look. Knuckles only looked to them with a surprised look of his own.

"What? She wouldn't hurt a child no matter what. She just did it to cause a seen and get my father's attention." He explained with Amy fist pumping in the air.

The sakura hedgehog always knew that Lien-Da had a soft spot but she still didn't like her.

"Anyway, I see you're not that dirty little girl you used to be. Tells me that you took the second chance to better yourself and care for children like you." Knuckles pointed out making everyone know that he had looked her over pretty well.

Rouge giggled hiding her blush very well, she was quite attracted to the prince, more attracted than she wanted to be…than what she should be.

"Well, Thank you either way, but I must be going…" She said as she was about to give Amy some money so that the children that ran under her could get whatever they wanted Knuckles stopped her before she could even reach her hand out.

"No, I'll pay for them and all of them basically." He said nodding to Amy only winked back. She knew to send the bill to him.

"YAAAAAAAY!" The children jumped with joy and began looking for their favorites and new stuff they wanted to try.

Knuckles chuckled as he and Rouge looked at one another again almost starring at each other. Sonic and Tails glanced at one another while Cream and Amy tried their best not to coo out loud. Rouge smiled showing her teeth before walking up to Knuckles looking up to him.

"Thank you again my prince…" She said sweetly pointing her sunglasses down so she could see him more clearly. Knuckles held his smile and his composure well knowing that he knew here from somewhere else as well. Rouge slipped him a card with her club logo on it in his pocket. "Meet you there." She whispered in his ear before walking over to the window and getting ready to fly away.

"Wait for my Ms. Rouge!" Niza exclaimed running over to her with her bag of goodies. The small lady bug looked back to the grown-ups before laying her eyes on Knuckles. "Thank you so much again!" She said as she and Rouge flew off.

The other children thanked him before leaving themselves fighting their through the crowd to return home or back where ever they were before Knuckles was spotted walking down the block.

Amy walked up to Knuckles bumping him with her elbow as he looked over the card he was given.

"What did you think?" She asked as Knuckles only glanced down at her smirking.

"Where is this club?"

Amy giggled going back to her post. "It's a underground club. She mostly makes her money from that and the foster home she runs." She explained taking out a stool and sitting on it as Sonic hugged her from the back.

Cream walked up beside her. "Yeah, we go almost every night. It's pretty fun."

Knuckles only raise an eyebrow at her before looking to Tails for confirmation. The double tailed kitsune only looked away as if he heard nothing. Sonic chuckled leaning unto Amy's shoulders.

"We're not going there." The blue speed demon claimed getting a look from Amy. "What?! He's never gotten drunk or been to a club. He's been on Angel Island training and reading and all that other stuff."

Knuckles rolled his eyes while shaking his head. "Actually I did do some exploring. I'm surprised you guys couldn't tell I was little drunk last night at the party."

"WELL, that settles it we're going!"

Vanilla and Sicilia came up the steps just at that moment. "Where are you guys going?" Sicilia asked with one eye-brow raised.

"To the park to show Knuckles' the monuments of his ancestor!" Any exclaimed pushing Sonic away from her and then pushing him and Tails towards Knuckles. "We'll meet you guys there after we're done here."

"Ah ah!" Sicilia said walking over to Knuckles and giving him a big hug to which he returned. "It is nice you see how big- I meant that your back!"

"MOM!"

Vanilla only giggled moving Sicilia away from him and giving him a hug herself. "Oh my…" She said as Cream quickly pulled her away from him.

Amy quickly started getting everyone on the move. "Alright! SEE YOU GUYS LATER!" She exclaimed pushing them down to the back and down some steps to get them outside.

She gave Sonic a quick kiss before going to explain to the citizens that Knuckles and his guards were guided out the back so they could get away. She knew that they would be gone before the crowd got back there. Most of the crowd consisted of females. She was just lucky her mother was too distracted by Knuckles to bother getting the real information out of her. Amy's mother wasn't being very controlling just didn't want her daughter making the same mistakes she did.

Knuckles was tired but he was grateful he got to walk around and greet many people and see many things, some he would address his father about. From his little time of walking around the city when he was little, he could see a lot had truly changed. Some businesses grew bigger and some did not others were new and he made sure to stop at those. Neighborhoods were bigger and nicer, he was pretty sure some weren't and Sonic didn't take him to those parts. All and all from what he could things seemed good but he knew that was just today, who knows what could have happened if he went the down the wrong street and with the wrong guards. The prince would make sure to visit every corner of his kingdom before he touched the throne.

Knuckles truly thought they were going to the park to wait for Amy and Cream. They went to the park but only for Knuckles to see Athair's monument, greet more people and leave. Knuckles was starting to figure out that Amy had codes for certain things and Sonic knew them all. They actually went to Sonic and Tails' place. It was in a nice neighborhood and wasn't too big either. 4 bedroom, 3 bathrooms, dining room, large enough kitchen for Amy and Cream to do all the cooking they wanted because Sonic didn't bother and a nice sized living room with a big tv, high tech computer system and security system. Sonic and Tails worked hard for all of this. Their parents refused to spoil them, Sonic was a royal knight, and Tails a brilliant engineer and nothing was going to be thrown on their laps.

While they were waiting for the girls Knuckles kept looking at the card Rouge handed him and that made it harder to get Rouge off his mind. Her scent was intoxicating, her eyes had to be jewels, and her snow white fur and dark tanned skin looked soft and well taken care of. But he couldn't help feeling that he met her somewhere else…But where?

He was brought from his trance as Sonic took the card from him looking it over. Knuckles told his father that he would be with Sonic and Tails till the morning which he father didn't mind seeing as he did trust Sonic and Tails. But Knuckles did leave out a certain fact: He was going to that club just to see Rouge. The prince took the card back to which only Sonic shrugged and walked over to his closet to find something to wear.

"You damn sure can't fit anything in my closet so Amy most likely is shopping for something for you."

Knuckles chuckled, "Well, how would she know my size."

"Big and tall that's all we need to know."

Tails shook his head as he finished something on his computer. "Alright. Here you are Knuckles." He said walking over to Knuckles and giving him a pretty fancy looking communicator. "This is the type you won't find in the stores because I made them especially, it has me, Sonic, Cream and Amy's communication numbers already in there and its untraceable. You can add other numbers if you like."

Knuckles nodded looking it over. He had to admit he was pretty impressed. "You're going to run everyone else out of business Tails."

Tails chuckled. "Naw, I doubt it. Hey, Knuckles did your dad tell you about the war?"

Knuckles sighed as Sonic took a seat on the couch next to him. "Yeah, he told he hasn't told anyone else in the kingdom."

Sonic shook his head. "Sadly, we don't have enough adults and teens to fight so those 12 year olds you seen are going to be assisting."

"He told me that he wanted me to marry the princess of Acorn as a better alliance but I'm pretty sure other kingdoms are going to be throwing their own princess' at me as well."

"Well, look at the bright side you'll take the throne in the next year or two, have another succession and keep Kragok and Lien-Da off of it."

Knuckles scoffed. "Yeah, that's my mine objective. Look, I know they shouldn't take it but doesn't mean I want it."

Sonic and Tails only glanced at each other before Sonic fully looked to Knuckles. "Listen, you're your father's only child. I know you feel like it's a prison, hell you always have but look at the bright side you'll be in more control of your life. Plus you'll have a hot wife, not hotter than mine but you know what I'm saying."

Tails just shook his head as Knuckles narrowed his eyes at Sonic. The azure hedgehog shrugged his shoulders as a knock came at the door.

"Come on Ames!"

"Alright, alright!" She yelled as Cream giggled neither one of them were dressed up just yet. They didn't want to look suspicious to their mothers. "I'm glad everyone doesn't know you're here." She said giving Knuckles a bag. "I got two outfit I know you can fit but I don't know your fashion statement."

Knuckles chuckled. "Well, we'll all have to find out now won't we?" Getting up and walking off to one of the 3 bathrooms to wash up.

Amy looked to everyone before saying. "Someone is excited to see a certain someone."

Sonic chuckled. "I'm not." Amy glared at him before he chuckled harder saying, "I meant Shadow."

Amy only rolled her eyes as She and Cream walked off to go get ready. Tails looked at Sonic shaking his head.

"You're just mad that he can run just as fast as you can."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

I thought about putting the club part in here but I felt it should have it's own chapter plus I want more chapter for the story as it develops. Please R&R tell me what you guys. THANKS! Till next chapter!
