"Is that you..?" She asked. He smiled as he sat near a fire. "Yeah. You OK Melody..?" He asked as she smiled. "I am now..." She muttered as his ear perked up. "That's nice to know..." He smiled as he got up. He walked over to her as his blush grew. "How come your blushing?" She asked. "Just look at yourself..." he said as his blush grew. She looked at her body, and only her bra and panties were on. "Rage!" She screamed angrily as she covered herself up. Rage laughed as she reacted. She looked around. "Rage, what did you do with my clothes?" She said as she stood up, and approached him, and slapped him. "Ow! Geez Melody, don't get all mad at me! I don't want you to get sick with your clothes on..." He said as he rubbed his cheek. "Your clothes, i used them as a pillow for you." He said as he sighed. "And thanks for the slap for taking care of you, really appreciate it..." He said sarcastically. Melody sighed as now she felt guilty for not hearing his side of the story. "Wait, Rage..." She said as he left out of the hut. "Come to the fire, we'll talk there." He said as he smiled. Melody nodded as she began to put on her clothes. They were a bit wet, but dry enough to wear. He sat down near as Melody stood next to him. "So, what exactly happened..?" She asked. "It was weird really..." He said as looked at her with a straight face. "You see, Eggman made another attempt with the chaos emerald hijacking again. Only this time, Sonic made sure he didn't get it." Rage explained. He took a deep breath before going again. "When Eggman fired a cannon-" He said as Melody interrupted him. "What? A cannon? Are you sure we're not dead?" She said as she felt her arms, and legs. Rage began laughing as he placed his hands on hers. "Relax, we're alive..." He said as they barely noticed what he did, which caused them to blush. "Anyway, um... Before the cannon fired, I went looking for you. Found you on your bed sleeping... That's when I jumped on you and then... Well, the whole place went black..." He said as he removed his hands from hers. "I see... What about Sonic and Amy..?"Melody asked. Rage shook his head. "Haven't found them yet. I'm not even sure if we're going to see them again..." He said as he sighed. Melody nodded as she looked into the fire. "May there souls rest in peace if they are..." She muttered quietly. She looked up at Rage and smiled sweetly. "Should we go to sleep..?" She asked. Rage nodded. "Yeah..." He said as he got up, and put the fire out. He walked over to the hut as she followed. He laid down as when she walked in. "Night." He said as he closed his eyes. She looked onto the other side of the hut as small palm leaves were laid out. She felt a little chilly, so she moved them closer to Rage. "Good night Rage..." She whispered as she fell asleep on his chest.
