The Child That Could Be
By Angnix
(Okay, since I haven't gotten any reviews on my attempt at humor, maybe for my next story I should try something else similar to the fics people seem to like, and please review it! This is a sequel to Sonic: 25 Years Later. As a brief summery of that fic, Eggman is transported 25 years in the future and the characters go about their lives thinking that Eggman was gone, but Eggman 25 years in the future goes after Sonic and friends and their children. The ending of the story involves not only Eggman returning to the time he came from but also some of the characters from the future, including Venture, the son of Knuckles and Rouge, but Venture warns that Knuckles and Rouge would have a relationship that turns really bad and Venture had to live a tortured life. The characters from the future eventually return where they belong. Knuckles at the end told Rouge to go away. But if Knuckles rejects Rouge knowing that they would have a bad relationship, then what about Venture? He would never be born! And what about Amy? What are her thoughts about Eric appearing to her from the future saying her greatest dream will defiantly come true, but she must not speak a word about it? And don't forget about Sonic.I hope this is not too confusing.)
(I do not own any characters in this story except Venture Jones, Eric the Hedgehog and some of the other characters from Sonic: 25 Years Later might appear.)
It is now a whole month after Eggman returned from the future. It is a beautiful night, the full moon set against a deep navy sky (well, as full as it could be with half of it blown away.). Knuckles is at his usual position guarding the Master Emerald, its brilliant green glow bathing the immediate area with soft green light. He hasn't seen another person since one month ago when he told Rouge to "just go" and he watched her glide off in the distance. He assumed Sonic and everyone else were either too busy to visit him or maybe they just couldn't find Angel Island. He closes his eyes and rests his head on his hands, random thoughts, the same ones that have haunted him for the last month now, started drifting through his head.
"I told her to "just go" . could there have been anything else I could have said? I should have said that I told here to leave for both of our sake's. She would have been unhappy too, I don't want her to be unhappy. When she glided off she looked so sad. Did she truly love me? No, how could she have? If our relationship was so doomed then she must not have truly loved me. I wonder what she is doing tonight. Is she thinking about me? Or has she found someone else to like? Is she stealing jewels again? Is she now just sleeping, dreaming of something? I wonder what she dreams about. Hmmm. I wonder if Venture got back to where he belongs. Does he still exist? Does me knowing about him mean he is gone forever now? I wish I could talk to Tails, could he possibly still exist in some other dimension or something if he is never born here? Yeah, Tails would know something like that, maybe he has researched the time travel stuff more. Ha Ha, I wonder how Sonic fells to know that at least in one possible future he did end up with Amy. I would love to know exactly how that happened, that Amy, maybe she changes or something when she gets older. And poor Amy, why would Sonic say something like that? 'To tell you the truth, when you go back in time I hope Eric never exists and his memory is erased from Amy's memory' I mean, I sort of understand why he said it but still to say it in a way to hurt Amy so! What am I saying, that is what I said to Rouge, maybe not so directly, I told her to 'just go'. She seemed happy when she found out about Venture. was it a dream of hers to have a child with me? Maybe she did love me, but if she did why would our relationship be doomed."
His mind just kept going on and on like this, like it has been for the last month. The same thoughts endlessly circled his mind over and over again, almost as if his mind was a computer stuck in an infinite loop. Lately the thoughts had been so intense he could not sleep at night, he had not slept for 5 days now. He opened his eyes again and stared off into the nothingness that was out there. Then he saw something. a flash of white out a little ways into the night.
"Rouge! Is that you Rouge? Rouge! Don't go away again! I need to talk to you!"
Knuckles glided off into the night sky in the direction he saw the streak of white go. He glided and he glided looking for the white bat that he just couldn't get off his mind.
"Rouge, where are you Rouge? Please come back!"
There was a problem though. The flash of white he had seen was a figment of his mind. He mind was tired, he was in fact so very tired, so tired that he didn't even think that he was gliding into nothingness above the ocean. He glided right into the ocean, not a soul knowing that he was even there. He was so tired and so out of his mind he didn't even try to swim, the only thing in his mind was "Rouge, where are you Rouge?".
Where was Rouge? She was at home, she did not outwardly show that she was thinking about Knuckles, she just told people "Let that stinky echidna guard that stinky emerald alone, I don't need him!" In reality, she was torn. Random thoughts haunted Rouge too.
"I will have to admit to myself, my attraction to him is just physical. Ohhhwww. just thinking about those strong arms and his stylish quills and that cute little white crescent on his chest I just want to rub. ohhh, I want him wrapped around me. but how could he say something like that to me? Come on, even if we do end up with a bad relationship, wouldn't he at least want to still know what a relationship with me would be like? Come on now, what kind of man is he to deny me? I seen the way he looked at me when he caught me in the middle of that fall. I don't care if he said he was just saving the Master Emerald, he would have caught me even if I didn't have those Emerald fragments, come on now, you can't fool me. Ohhhh, if only that stupid time travel incident never occurred, who knows, he could be making love to me right now."
Rouge eventually fell asleep, no clue in her mind that the one she dreamed about was dying.
