Ending 1: The Invitation:
It had been one week since Knuckles and Nicole had porked all night, as Sonic so vulgarly put it. But since the incident in the dining room that morning and their ensuing improvised date, Knuckles and Nicole had agreed to stop seeing each other and the talk quickly settled at Freedom HQ. Sally and Amy naturally wondered what had happened and all their probing revealed little. Knuckles didn't seem inclined to talk about it, but carried himself with a new air of pride and confidence. And Nicole would answer their inquiries with an ambigious reply and a cryptic smile. However, they did notice Nicole hanging around Sonic rather often and they didn't like it much, but for the most part let it go. Three days after the event, Knuckles left for Angel Island briefly on "private business", but returned on the seventh day. Today was the seventh day.
Stepping outside the portal created by his Warp Ring, Knuckles let out a content sigh. Turning his gaze westward, he squinted up at the slowly sinking sun as it turned the sky a vibrant orange and rich, yellow gold. He stood there for a moment then turning away, and entered the underground building built into the side of a large hill. Scanning the Commons, he was mildly surprised to find no one moving about in the large room. Listening closely, he couldn't hear any distinct noises. Briefly wondering if the others had left somewhere without telling him, Knuckles entered the dining room and found it just as deserted. He was about to leave, when he noticed a small piece of paper sitting on the tabletop nearest to the doorway. Beside it was a small box tied with ribbon. Picking up the letter, he skimmed over it.
The handwriting was gentle, flowing, and very lady-like. It almost looked like Sally's, but was slightly different. In many places, the y's and d's were overly extended. It read:
"Dear, Knuckles,
"Sonic and your friends have left, acting on some information they received and are expected to be back next month. They went to a kingdom in the east and have requested that you remain here until you are needed. Sally's orders.
"That leaves you and myself to hold down the fort for a month... I wonder what we will do with all that time?
"Sincerely, Vanilla.
"P.S. Open the box."
Knuckles frowned. Well, that explained where Sally and the others were, but what was that other part about? Did Cream go with them? And what did Mrs. V mean by 'do with all that time'? Placing the letter back on the table, Knuckles picked up the small box next. It was surprisingly heavy for its size. Gently pulling on the ribbon, the tie came apart easily and fell to the ground. Knuckles pried the lid off and looked inside. A piece of black, velvety fabric covered whatever was underneath and Knuckles pulled it out. Once it dangled in front of him, he recognized it as a blindfold. 'What the?' thought Knuckles, a look of utter bafflement crossing his face. Setting the fabric aside, Knuckles looked at what else was in the box. A pair of steel handcuffs and... a ball gag? At just that instant, Knuckles got a notion of what Vanilla was hinting at. Blushing furiously, Knuckles crammed the items back in the box and hastily tossed it back on the table.
Taking a seat, Knuckles ran his hands through his dreadlocks, trying to steady his heartbeat. Was Vanilla really suggesting what he thought she was? The echidna immediately felt dumb just thinking about it. Of course she was. That much was pretty obvious. Moving on, Knuckles pondered why. He knew she was several years his senior, not quite thirty, but around there. 'Twenty-eight?' he guessed, 'No, twenty-seven, that's right. She had Cream when she was nineteen and Cream's almost eight so... yeah. Twenty-seven.' Moving on, Knuckles recalled that Vanilla had married "Mr. Rabbit", but he apparently died during the Great War, before Cream was born. And as far as Knuckles knew, Vanilla had remained single throughout the years between The Great War with the Overlanders and the current war the Freedom Fighters were fighting with Robotnik. And since Robotnik's coupe, the rabbit had resided with the Freedom Fighters at HQ, so she's been single for at least five years, possibly longer. He reasoned she probably was horny and with all the teenage male and female hormones raging around her, it probably couldn't be easy on the mature female. That, and Knuckles had made it pretty clear that he was sexually active, so this was more than just an act of oppurtunity.
Soon Knuckles understood why Vanilla would make such a risqué proposal. Smiling slightly despite his surprise, he drew similarities to how he had another proposal made to him just last week and how that had ended. Turning his mind to another matter, he debated whether he should accept and take the ole' gal for a spin or try and sneak out. Chances were she knew he was expected to return, so leaving was probably out of the question; besides, he had to admit that Vanilla was rather sexy. In fact, he and Sonic sometimes referred to her as a "MILF", naturally making sure the girls didn't hear it. And his mind jumped back to the image of Vanilla in that skirt on the night of his and Nicole's date. That outfit and the way it tugged her gentle, yet enticing curves. Her breasts, which he readily acknowledged were considerably larger than Nicole's or even Rouge's, and the bat was already chesty. And finally, the jiggle of her butt as she stepped. Knuckles subconciously gripped the table with both hands as he pictured the image in his head. His member stirred and began to peek out from its sheathe before Knuckles snapped out his reverie and forcefully switched his train of thought.
Glancing back down at the paper, Knuckles stared at it for a moment then flipped the paper over and looked at the back. As he suspected, there was something written on the back:
"I'll be in my room."
Two seconds later, the paper slowly drifted to the floor as a pair of footsteps sprinted down the hallway. When the page landed, the attached Polaroid depicted Vanilla in a tantalizing "Nudie".
Author's Note: This is the first ending for The Mobian Experience. It is rather short, compared to the majority of the fanfic and is mostly lime, but ties in with Vanilla's lust for the young echidna in Chapter 8: Wine & Dine. If enough readers ask, I can and will extend this further, but for the time being, this is Ending 1: The Invitation.
