Bet on her Heart
Disclaimer: Crossover! None of the Sonic characters belong to me, they go to Sega and Sonic Team, while the Klonoa characters belong to Namco and Klonoa Works!
Kero Guardian: Finally updating, sorry! Busy as always…bleh.
Tails: But work is good!
Kero Guardian: ……oh, yeah! For those of you who don't know! Klonoa speaks in an interesting language, which would be wrong of me to remove.

Log Six: What Makes Them Happy?
"The ocean breeze…the sounds of seagulls echoing across the sky…it reminds me of the Master Emerald on Angel I-"
The red echidna didn't get a chance to finish his sentence when suddenly a hard object projected off his nose and into the air behind him. He landed flat on his back, numb to the sand's warmth that surrounded him. "Ooowww…"
"Aw, man! Knux, you all right!" Sonic scratched behind his quills after picking up the volleyball that landed the guardian square in the face. "Sorry about that!"
"Exactly what were you aiming at?" Klonoa ran up beside him. "The net is all the way back there! Oh, he's up…guess he isn't mad."
Knuckles didn't say anything at first when he got up, but the blue hedgehog knew him better than anyone that it took a few seconds for him to process information. He blinked twice at the pair then instantly clenched his jaw, "Sonic! You did that on purpose, didn't you!" And with that uproar he stamped his left foot behind him, raising his fists.
"Outta the way, Klonoa!" Sonic shoved the cabbit aside, just as Knuckles missed a punch at him. He quickly gave a tap in the sand to secure his footing before dodging more onslaughts.
Klonoa swallowed nervously as his new friend sparred with the hot-headed echidna. "Ah…should I help?" Unsure if he needed to retrieve his wind ring.
"Hey, don't worry about it," Sonic laughed kicking up sand to distract Knuckles for a few seconds, "This is what we call play."
"Wadoo? Playing, huh?" He rolled his ivory-colored eyes upwards, still hesitant. 'Kinda like how Janga and Joka call it playing too…more like trying to kill each other…' It was then did he notice an object above him that fluttered lazily around in circles. His eyes followed the figure until it flopped onto the towel behind him. "Hi, Charmy!"
"Aw, this is the life!" The bee sighed happily, obviously missing Klonoa's words and the fact that the cabbit ran off to stop the fight. "Hey, hey! Waiter, yeah, you in the purple! Bring me another drink! I'm thirsty!" His voice chirped as he eagerly gestured to the table beside him. "I wanna Pina Colada!"
Janga snarled, already hating his job, but shoved his hat further down to block the sunlight from his eyes, 'I'll Pina Colada you!' He grinned falsely, bowed awkwardly, then stomped towards the small hut near the volleyball net.
Charmy almost jumped when Espio's low voice muttered something beside him, "Geesh, Espio! Why are you camouflaging? And why not take a seat next to me?"
On cue, the calm chameleon undisguised himself from under an open umbrella and strode over to the open bench adjacent to the bee. His gaze focused upon it for a moment, "No."
"Why not?" Charmy whined, pulling on the towel underneath him.
"It's plastic and it has been sitting out in the sun for a long while. It will burn me."
"Aw, shucks. Can't fool you."
Espio sighed, "Charmy, what did Vector warn you?" Seeing the kid shake his head, he continued. "You shouldn't take advantage of the workers here. And I have to agree with him, they don't seem to be the time that is safe around. I've done a bit of investigating and-"
"Blah, blah, blah." The insect rolled his eyes over to the side, "That's what you keep saying. Gosh darn it, Espio. We're on vacation!" He then grinned back with a snicker, "Besides…it's not like old scaly green's not using the benefits either."
'True enough', the ninja, realized. Vector had an exhausted clown working around the clock. Poor Joka had teleported to several stores around the area in search for the "perfect" presents the romance-influenced reptile requested.
"To Miss Vanilla…" Espio grumbled.
"Yup!"
A clinking sound turned the boy's eyes around, "Here's your order!"
"Thanks!" Charmy quickly removed the straw and downed the drink in less than a minute. "Kinda like drinking shots, huh, mister?"
"Very close…" Janga smiled in return.
Espio carried a puzzled expression, as he watched the cat hum to himself while leaving. "Well, that's odd…Charmy-"
The bee unexpentedly hiccupped and smiled back with a goofy expression, "Wat up's?"
"Are you drunk?" Espio caught him before his face hit had the chance to hit the sand, "That lousy feline didn't remove the alcohol!"
"Urrggh….I shon't flip so gwood…"
-------------------------------------------------
Rouge checked the space around her before smiling to herself. 'Just be casual…analyze her personality and work your way through…easy enough.' Her feet made no sound as she stepped upon the velvet carpet of the hotel, towards a door with a childish sign tied loosely from a nail.
"Lolo." She read before opening the door with a light crack.
The young priestess was occupying herself, sitting at the low coffee table, and giggling rather joyfully, as she laced the different pieces of thread together. A few other bracelets sat not too far from her working fingers, all in either rainbow, or autumn colors.
'Pretty simplistic…' The bat sweat dropped, not understanding at all when her idea of passion were glittering jewels. "Ahem, excuse me?"
Lolo raised her head at the knocking, fingers still mixed with the threads. "Yes? Who is it?"
The bat now stepped into the room, glancing around, checking each object of interest to the awaiting girl. "Hi, my name is Rouge the Bat. You may call me Rouge." A music box caught the corner of her eye just before she placed them on her. A welcoming smile graced her white face.
Lolo stared at her then set the bracelet alongside the rest. She stood up, dusted her skirt, adjusted her hat, then looked at the spy. Rouge noted, however-she was not smiling back. 'Am I that suspicious looking? Or is it the way I speak…? Drat!'
"How may I help you, Miss Rouge?" Although the girl was trying to hide it, her tone came out almost threatening.
'So I misjudged her…not so simplistic after all! …better put on the shy act.' Folding a hand in front of her, Rouge pretended to bashfully give a side glance. "I was thinking about going shopping, but…well…"
Her red lips smiled again,
"I was wondering if you would like to come with me."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kero Guardian: Is it just me, or does Rouge dress awfully suspicious? I didn't think Lolo would be oblivious enough to let her tone of voice slip by either. Oh, well…here's Klonoa for you guys!
