I'm in such a good mood today!

Guess what! One of the teachers at my school found out that I was posting stories on the internet; she loved the idea and is going to write an article about me in my school's newsletter!

Thanks for supporting me and reading my story! (A reminder again, when you see brackets, it would be me talking and NOT the character)

Stones of time

Chick flick

Knuckles POV

I stood in the kitchen looking at the wall, thinking about what Amy had said.

I knew she was telling the truth. Sonic would risk his life to save me, or any one of his friends. He wouldn't blow a chance to help anyone.

But still… I had a terrible feeling, something was wrong. All this went through my mind as I looked at that one wall.

I sighed. I couldn't take the guilt any longer and ran out the kitchen. They weren't there anymore, probably left without me. But they couldn't be far.

I ran out side. (What? Knuckles? Felling guilt?! Wait till the others hear about this…) I glared, what did you say?! (Nothing!) (*evil laughter*) I sighed again

I saw a small orange and pink dot in the distance, must have been Amy and tails. "Why does this author hate me?" I asked myself (well, let me answer that question! You are stupid, crazy, short tempered, absent minded… and just to let you know, you don't have those powerful spikes on your hands to protect the master emerald. Oh no! They are there to protect you!)

"Stupid author." I grumbled as I ran. (Be careful what you say!! I still control this story, if you're going to be like that, who knows what might happen to you!) (Wait… I do!)

I neared Amy and tails. Tails was the first to see me coming. I expected him to be upset but instead he smiled. "Knuckles! You came!" Tails shouted happily. He charged at me. I dodged out of the way just in time before I became the victim of a deadly bear hug.

"I hate bear hugs… I hate any kind of hugs" I growled tails tripped and fell into the… (Grass? Leaves?... let's make it mud!) …mud? I didn't see mud there before. YAY! The author is on my side! (… Don't count on it)

I gulped and helped tails out of the mud. "Knuckles, why did you come?" he asked me while wiping the wet sand off his face. "Well, you were right. Friends stick together." I said. Amy and blaze were standing right there. Amy was angry to see me at first, but after she heard me say that she only smiled. "Where's cream?" I asked her.

"Cream needed to get home before her mother got worried." Amy said. "How far now?" blaze asked tails. "Still a few more metres and we'll be there." Tails answered back.

I looked confused. "We are going to the crater, the same place where I found this." He said and lifted up his arm that held the strange bracelet. He turned to blaze. "We had a deal, if I took her to where I found it, then she would tell me what's so important about it." Blaze nodded.

Tails lead the way. Tails had said that he had found the bracelet a few metres from Sonic's house, it felt like a few kilometres!

"Who's that?" tails asked and pointed to the distance. There was a slow moving figure quite a distance away. I could tell who that was straight away. "BAT!" I yelped

"It's rouge!" Amy yelled out happily.

Rouge's POV:

I sighed. A few days after the commander gave me and shadow that new mission, shadow has been more determined than ever to find out about his past.

I felt guilty. I couldn't stay in the same place as him and not feel bad about it. It was eating me up from the inside.

But if I did tell him… how would he take it? But, I've got to tell him one day…

"Rouge!" I heard a familiar voice. I turned to my right and saw Amy. She ran up to me. "hey Amy…..knuckles" knuckles and I glared at each other for a few seconds until Amy broke the tension.

"hey guys! There is no reason to fight. You may have had your bad times…" she said. I turned my attention to her. "Sorry…" I apologized "…so how is the sonic hunting going?" she asked her.

"Not good, I haven't seen him for over a week." She sulked. "don't worry, I know you'll get him one day." I said to her

(yeah, right)

Sorry, this chapter is pretty long; I'll have to break it out into parts
