Chapter 5: how do you know?

"So, how does everyone know Roxie?" said Shadow.

"Well, I tried to robotize Roxie a long time ago." Said Robotnik.

"Yeah, and I saved her." Said Sonic.

"That was the last time we really saw each other 'cause we were really busy with other things, right Roxie?" said Sonic.

"Right Sonic." said Roxie.

"I met Roxie at a contest to create an invention." Said Tails.

"And we became good friends." Roxie said.

"Okay. But what about Knuckles, Tikal, Amy and Rouge?" asked Shadow.

" Well, for a long time, I was Roxie's roommate. And on the first day that we were roommates, she herd that I liked jewels! So when we were going to share our gifts, she gave me a big, huge, beautiful, Diamond!" said Rouge.

"What about you, Knuckles?" said Shadow.

"Oh, uh., well, I'll tell you later." Muttered Knuckles.

"OH! Is it a SECRET?" said Tikal.

"Well, it's personal!" said Knuckles.

"Oh, ok then. And Tikal?" said Shadow.

"Well, the day that Roxie lost her parents, I was taking a walk through the jungle. And then I come upon a little magenta body hidden under some leaves." Said Tikal.

" She seemed asleep and hungry, so I brought her to the Floating island to take care of her." Said Tikal.

" At the moment, I was taking care of little Knuckles. He was so hard to take care of and to teach him how to becoming a guardian! I thought maybe Roxie could control his hyperness, since I taught him to not hit a little and cute girl as Roxie." Said Tikal.

"So why did he punch me when we fought!" said Rouge.

"Uh, it was for the Master Emerald!" said Knuckles.

"And besides, you're not cute!" said Knuckles.

"Oh really!" said Rouge.

"Yeah, you're just not my type." Said Knuckles.

"So who is your type?" asked Rouge.

"I , uh, she's,um., I'll tell you later!" said Knuckles.

"Any way, the first day I brought her, she was so adorable!" said Tikal.

"Tikal, I was only eight years old!" said Roxie.

"I know, I know, but you were still adorable! Anyway, but on that day, I found out we were out of food. So I left Roxie with Knuckles, who was jumping around and digging." Said Tikal.

"WAIT!DON'T TELL HER ANYMORE!" said Knuckles.

"AND.. When I got back, he was very quiet. I remember as soon as I got back, Roxie came running toward me, holding some flowers in her hand. And she told me, 'Look Tikal! Look what Knuckles gave me!', I then looked where Knuckles was and he was hiding behind a tree. But even behind it, you could see his face was all red!" Tikal said.

"I told you not to tell them." Groaned Knuckles.

"OH!! So that's how you met Roxie!" said Sonic.

"But why'd you give her flowers?" said Amy.

"She was the first girl I've ever known outside the Floating Island." Said Knuckles.

"And what'd she do after you gave her the flowers?" said Rouge.

Roxie remembered what happened.

----------------------------Flash Back------------------------------------- --------

Knuckles was coming toward Roxie with flowers in one hand. "This is for you." Knuckles mumbled thrusting the flowers in Roxie's face." For me?" said Roxie."Yes, for you." Said Knuckles. Roxie then took the flowers and looked up into Knuckles eyes. "Thank you Knuckles! They're beautiful!" she said. She then slowly neared Knuckles face and kissed him on the cheek. Knuckles was stunned. "Knuckles? Are you okay?" said Roxie as Knuckles suddenly looked dizzy and then collapsed on the floor.

------------------------End Flash Back------------------------------------- -------

Roxie stood up and walked toward Knuckles.

"I did this, okay!" said Roxie as she gave Knuckles a kiss on the cheek.

Roxie felt Knuckles body go tense. Then when the kiss ended, Knuckles looked, once again, dizzy and fainted.

"So that's what you did!" said Tikal.

"I was happy when Knuckles gave me the flowers, but I had nothing to give him, so I gave him a kiss on the cheek!" said Roxie.

"Did he do what he just did right now?" said Shadow.

"Yup." Said Roxie.

"Sonic, go fetch me some water, please?" said Tikal.

"Sure." Said Sonic as he grabbed a bucket and filled it with water.

"Water for table #2!" said Sonic as he splashed the water all over Knuckles face.

"What happened?" said Knuckles.

"You were telling us how you met Roxie when she came up and kissed you." Said Rouge.

"Oh. Anyway, that's how I met her." Said Knuckles.

"That's not the end of it!" said Roxie.

"So you mean there's more!" said Tails.

"Well," said Knuckles.

"Tell us!" said Rouge.

"Well fine! I told her that she was the first girl I've ever seen apart from Tikal and I thought she was cool. And I told her that was the first kiss I had ever had in my whole life." said Knuckles.

"What about the one Roxie gave you just now?" said Sonic.

"That was the second." Said Knuckles.

"So, let me give ya' the third kiss." Said Rouge as she neared Knuckles and with her lips pursed, was about to kiss him.

"NO! NOT YOU!" screamed Knuckles as he jumped up and hid behind Amy.

"Aw! Knux! Why not?" pouted Rouge with her arms crossed across her chest.

" Cause! You're, always like that! I'm not comfortable with you!" said Knuckles still hiding behind Amy.

"Um, Knuckles, can ya' get away from me now. You're hurting my arms." Said Amy as she observed her arms which had black and blue bruises on it from Knuckles' knuckles.

"Oh. Sorry Ames." Said Knuckles as he loosened his grip.

"Hmph!" said Rouge as she sat down again.

"Oh, I forgot! How'd you meet Roxie, Amy?" said Shadow.

"I met her in a Chao daycare center. She had such cute chaos! Evil ones, Hero ones, and normal ones!" said Amy.

"Her chaos were cute too." Said Roxie.

"Awe! Thanks, Roxie!" said Amy.

"No prob' Amy!" said Roxie.

"Alright! Enough chit-chat! Let's play Truth-or-Dare!" said Sonic.

"Cool! Let's invite someone!" said Tails.

"I know some guy named, 'Yoda' from Star wars. Let's invite him." Said Eggman.

"Alright what's his number?" said Knuckles getting out his cell phone.

"No need to call. He knows when someone needs him." Said Eggman.

Then a green short thing began walking toward them.

"I see you have called, young Jedi." Said Yoda, placing a hand on Sonic's arm.

"Um, Yoda? I didn't call you." Said Sonic.

"Ah, but the force told me." said Yoda.

"We invited you to play Truth-or-Dare." Said Eggman.

Yoda turned toward Eggman and started nearing him with arms stretched wide.

"Ah, Eggy! How are you!" said yoda while hugging Egg man's legs, he was short ya' know.

"I'm fine, yoda. But the name's Robotnik or Eggman to them." Said Eggman while pointing to Sonic & Co.

"Ah who cares!" said Yoda while sitting down.

"Okay! That was weird! Anyway, let's play! I go first!" said Sonic.
