J is for Jail
"This is your fault, you know..."
"Shut up, faker..."
"You know what this reminds me of?"
"..." a sigh...or huff. Depends on how you take it.
"This reminds me of the times when you used to get me into trouble. You know...how everyone thought you were me?"
"Ugh..." a groan.
"Yeah...got thrown on Prison Island for that..."
"As if I didn't know..."
"I went, like...stir crazy for a while...they put me in a freaking water bubble!" he exhaled. "Funny thing..."
"...what?"
"This time, it's still your fault..."
"..."
"Jeez, you got a bad temper...that man didn't even see what was comin'..."
"And I'm going to use it on you if you don't shut up. It was his own fault anyway!"
"You can't get mad in a supermarket and start punching people out when they make fun of you for not being able to reach something..."
"He was an asshole that deserved it. Besides..." a small notable blush if you were close enough, "the only one who can tease me and get away with it is you..."
"..." an astonished look, as if he couldn't believe the other actually said that. Time to push it... "Really? Hmm...I guess it's because I'm faster and you can't catch me, huh?"
"Wrong."
"Is it becaaaaause...I'm special?"
"Not in the way you're thinking..." a small scoff, playful under the circumstances.
"Hmph.." a fake frown to go along with the fake insult. "Soooo, is it because...you love me?" a tilt of the head, a few blinks...
"..." a soft chuckle.
"What?"
A small smile. "...suppose that is sufficient..."
"...sufficient-" an even bigger smile and a hug, "Say it!"
Another scoff, amused. "Say what?"
"You know what!" a laugh.
"Pick a language..."
"W...what?"
"You two lovies done in there?" a familiar voice, female with a little bit of teasing, called from outside the cell.
"Seriously! I don't want a repeat of last time!" another all to familiar voice called, male and irritated. Deciding to let go, Sonic laughed, walking up to the cell's bars.
"You can look Knux. See?" he waved his hands outside the bars.
"How do I know if you two aren't still attached at the hip or somethin'? I'm not takin' any chances..." he gruffed, turning away from the cell so he could be sure not to see anything.
"Attached at the-..." a sudden smile crossed her face as she grabbed one of Sonic's hands. "So, blue, what have you and he been up to?"
"Nothing...much..."
"Instead of that, could you tell us why you're here?" Shadow interrupted from the background.
"To spring two jailbirds...or should i say jailhogs?" she chuckled.
"We're out? Cool! I wanna blow this place as soon as possible!" Sonic chimed. Rouge just stood there smiling, twirling the key on her finger. "Uh...what's the holdup?"
"You two seemed to be having so much fun in there...just wondering if I should actually let you out..."
"Rouge!"
"Alright, alright..." and with a click, they were out.
"Thanks! Catch you guys on the flipside!" and with two sonic booms the place was cleared of hedgehogs.
"That jerk! He could've at least said a thank you!" Knuckles grumbled. A small laugh from the other until she made a surprised gasp. "What?"
"I think they left something..."
"Huh?"
"Right there!" she pointed to a random point in the cell where it was a bit dark. "Go see what it is."
"...fine..." as he stepped inside a creak and clang was heard along with a click. He whipped around to see Rouge grinning, again swinging that key around her finger. "Why'd you do that?"
"Cause it's funny." she replied simply, flapping her wings suddenly.
"Hey!"
"Bye bye Knuckie." she laughed, putting the key in her chest. "I'll get you out tomorrow, kay?"
"You stupid bat-girl!"
"See ya!" And with that, she was gone, he was stuck and that jail ended up being nearly destroyed two hours later.
A/N: Lol...sorry XDD I have issues whenever Knuckles in on the scene (first chapter). This time with added Rouge to make it even worse for the guy lol he's just as fun to mess with as Shadow really. Btw, can you tell I actually enjoy writing for these two? Lol I think you can. Ah well, not much to say this round.
