Love, death and eternity

Chapter 8

-Sonic don't tell me that the one knocking the door is…

-No Rouge is not Knuckles, but it is someone none of you except for Amy, have spoken to in a while, let me attend the call.- Said Sonic giving that cheerful smile he had not given in a long time.

While Sonic was going downstairs to open the door, Shadow and Rouge could not stop wondering, if Sonic had really come back in his senses, could this be possible? Meanwhile Sonic came upstairs with the guest that knocked on the door, and Rouge and Shadow were astonished to see Tails perfectly fine, I mean sure he still was at Sonic's side, but nothing apparently had changed the young and smart boy.

-Oh, hello there Shadow and Rouge, how have you been? - Said Tails with that innocent voice of his, Rouge stood right up to go and say hi to the little boy, while Shadow was having a hard time with his recently found feelings, but yet he knew deep inside that he was glad to see the little fox safe and sound.

-Tails sweetie we've been good, really good- Said Rouge while giving a little hug to the fox, and then letting Shadow to say his greetings to Tails, and what happened next surprised everyone, I mean sure it wasn't an I love you, but it sure was very unusual of Shadow to do, he hugged Tails, but not a short hello hug, the kind of hug that says "I've missed you", and then Shadow just proceeded to say.

-I'm glad you are back Tails- then letting go of him, as they both looked and then Tails replied smiling

-I'm glad to see you too Shadow, and so we are all here to see Amy aren't we? – They suddenly began to laugh like they used to do in the old days, while they were all helping to make dinner, except for Amy who Sonic insisted that needed rest, but Amy was not alone, Rouge decided to stay with her and let the boys cook for them and also she decided to call the three missing people.

So they came in short notice, little Cream who almost cried when she saw Tails, Blaze who was happy to arrive and not arriving to a war zone, and Silver who was a little unsure by what was going on but felt relief when he saw everyone just happy, like they used to be.

And in time dinner was ready so Tails and Shadow called everyone up to the dining table, and when everyone was in the table Sonic came in with the dinner, and loving Amy as he does he made her Chinese chicken wings, her favorite food and god did she love it, ever since Sonic and Amy were a couple they've been like the dream couple, that depending on what concept of dream couple you have, but for most of their friends they were perfect.

And so there they were talking, making jokes, laughing, eating the delicious dinner that they all appraised to the boys, but then Sonic felt something, and then he said to silver

-Silver I know you are a psychic, so would you do me a favor before we get abruptly interrupted and use your powers to lift the table and everyone in it…

-Why would I…

-Just do it please man, I'm trying to protect the most of my house before something happens

-Ok…but I don't see what could happen that needs me doing this- Silver then did what Sonic requested and to his surprise, just below were they were sitting, someone came through the floor, and to everyone's surprise it was no one but Knuckles himself.

-You damn hedgehog, you thought you have seen the last of me?! - Said Knuckles in clear and open anger, to which Sonic just responded

-Certainly not, but I am not the one you want to talk Knucklehead- Saying this Sonic dashed and grabbed Rouge, and left them face to face, both of them were surprised but all that Rouge could say was

-Knuckie…
