So far, this was my favorite one to write... I haven't written my favorite pairing yet... This is over the word limit :/ But I couldn't get all that I wanted into just 350 Dx Anyway, since KnuxRouge is later on, this is like a substitute XD Metal Knuckles/Rouge.

I'm using OVA stuff here -Metal Sonic is made from Sonic's life date and can tap into it, therefore I'm assuming that Metal Knuckls and the Tails Doll would work the same way (except, y'know, with Knux and Tails). So, if we go by Sonic X standards and Knux has a crush on Rouge, then if Rouge were to do what she does down in teh chappy to Metal Knux, he would probably feel the same as real Knux (but not as spastic).


Rain

Up above, the sky was exploding. Thunder roared and lightning sliced through the otherwise gloomy night. Rain fell down in sheets, drenching any soul stupid enough to step outside. It was any robot's nightmare.

Metal Knuckles sat near the opened door, gazing out with longing. It was wide open, beckoning him to freedom -yet the torrential downpour discouraged any "Bright Ideas".

Eggman was probably watching through a security camera right now, laughing as his stupid robot stood there trapped in conflict -stay or risk short circuiting? MK wished he knew where this camera was so he could give his "Master" the bird before he trashed it.

There was a strange fluttering sound, and a clatter near the door. Standing up, he saw a glistening white figure shaking itself off, raindrops illuminated in its -her -fur by a flash of lightning. His data banks immediately recognized the creature as Rouge the Bat. He'd seen her a few times around the base, but he knew from Knuckles Life Data that she wasn't always working for Eggman.

"What a mess out there." She laughed, causing MK to tense. A moment later, he realized she was talking to herself.

The bat squeezed some water from her hair and yanked off her gloves. Lighting sliced the sky, once again lighting up her face. Her pale fur seemed to glow in the night, making her look ghostly.

Her silhouette wasn't all the lightning revealed. MK saw her eyes widen a bit as they fell upon him.

"Knuckles?" She stammered, looking like she was caught between the urge to step toward him and away from him. Stepping out from the shadows, he watched her expression fade to a mix of relief and disappointment. "Oh. You're just one of Eggy's robots." She chuckled, a coy smirk playing off her lips. "And a pretty good looking one that that."

His face felt like it was overheating.

"How about we keep this visit our little secret?" Rouge purred, walking closer. MK felt himself nodding. "Thanks, 'Knuxy.'" The overheating feeling increased as her lips brushed his cheek briefly. Knuckles' Life Data buzzed inside him. He watched, dumbfounded, as she flitted up without another word, disappearing into the rafters.
