New Beginnings
Chapter 10
The fight went on for about an hour and a half. It was unbelievable, how she improved, how swift she attacked. But of course that doesn't mean I haven't improved either. During most of the fight we were at a draw, then she would gain the upper hand, and then I gained the upper hand. I could tell she was holding nothing back, as I was not either. Right now, however, I stand on one half of a long bumper, and she, the other half, just like before. "Remind you of past times?" Rouge asked. "It sure does!" I chuckled. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the time. "SHIT! We got 30 minutes to prepare!" "Crap, your right!" I jumped off the 'Bumper' and ran out the door, Rouge not to far behind me. "Where's the Shower?" "I have a few of them, but there's two in the Master Bedroom. Separate of course." "Alright then." We walked up the stairs. As soon as we climbed the last step I walked rather quickly to the double doors and opened them. "After you." I said politely. "Aww your such a Knucklehead!" She said teasingly, and walked into the master Bedroom.
"The Showers are over there." I saw two doors in the direction that she pointed in, next to each other with a small wall in between them. Completely ignoring the awe of the bedroom I proceeded to the right door.
. . .
It took us about 20 minutes to get ready for the Pool Party. I waited outside the Master Bedroom for Rouge to get dressed. Five minutes later she came out and my jaw felt like it could hit the floor. She wore a pink two- piece bathing suit, the top part was shaped like a heart, and seemed to reveal more than her normal outfit, and her bottom piece had a purple heart in the middle. "Oh stop." She said to me. "You are truly beautiful, even without this suit." I say calmly, closing my jaw. She smiled, came close and kissed me on the lips, I returned the kiss, and we held it for what felt like a good minute till we heard a knock at the door. "Someone's here early." I said, after breaking the kiss. Rouge laughed. "Its unlocked Sonic!" She's good. I turn to face the door only to see Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Cream walk in. "Woooo." I hear Sonic Whistle. "Nice place!" We walk down the stairs, only to find Sonic in a red suit, I attempted to hold back a laugh but failed. I look over to Tails, who is wearing a blue bathing suit, then looking at Amy, wearing a one-piece red suit with no pattern on it. A bit more to the left of them is Cream, wearing a one-piece blue suit with flowers over it, and a Chao on her shoulder. "Hello Cheese." "Chao Chao!" I saw the little blue creature spin around my head. "Well, look who's looking up!" Amy said. I blushed. "Shall we go for a swim guys?" "Eh you know me! I sunbathe!" Sonic said, in his cocky voice. We will see about that. "Its this way." Rouge said, as I heard her walk off, I followed closely, as did everyone else behind me.
Rouge opened the back door from the kitchen, which I must admit, looked rather large, to reveal a huge pool! The thing's Deep end had 15 feet! The size alone had to be the size of a small room. I saw Sonic move a chair over to the pool and sat in it, wearing his sunglasses. I also saw Tails dive in; followed by Rouge, Amy and Cream, and it seemed Cheese did a cannonball. I made sure no one was watching, as I snuck up to Sonic. I scooted him and his chair over to the edge. In one swift push, Sonic fell into the water. "AAAH I CANT SWIM AAH!" He starts splashing the water. "Dude, Sonic . . . Stand up." "AAAH AAAH A- Huh?" I started laughing, as did Rouge, Tails and Cream, but I suddenly felt a shadow over me, and it was carrying a hammer. I slowly turned around, only to see Amy with her Piko Piko Hammer, And, well it was rather large. "Eh heh hehhehehe . . ." Next thing I know, I am in the water, "KNUCKLES YOU IDIOT!" "Hey HEY! He deserved it!" I shout. "Yeah, I did, didn't I?" "HUH?" I turn to Sonic who is standing on a step. "I sure did." We laughed for a good minute, and I turned to Rouge, who, was sitting on a step somewhere in the middle, laughed as well. I smiled and swam over to her, sitting next to her, I kissed her on the cheek. Taking one more glance over to Sonic, I saw him kiss Amy on the lips. "Whooo hooo Sonic!" I cheered, and saw him blush.
. . .
The pool party lasted about two hours. However, I hit the heart shaped Jacuzzi when there was 30 minutes left, Rouge joined me 10 minutes later, after talking a bit with Amy, "Hey boy, fancy a Back Massage?" She said to me. "I would love one." Rouge stepped in the tub and slowly swam over to me. I turned my back to her so she could rub my back. I felt her hands caress my shoulders, as what felt like tension, be released from me. "Wow Knucklehead, what stress have you been under lately?" She asked. "A lot." It was true; I was already planning how I was going to propose to her. Should I do it in front of everyone? Yeah, I should. "Oooh." She continued to rub her hands on my shoulders. "Rouge, love, tell everyone to gather in the main hall way in twenty minutes. I'm gonna hit the shower, get this chlorine off of me." "Alright honey." I felt her release and kiss me on the back of the neck. "See you in twenty." I smiled, turned around and kissed her on the cheek. Keeping the smile I got up out of the tub, headed to the back door, grabbing a towel along the way, and wrapped it around me. I opened the door and head to the drawer near the stairs. Taking one of the Velvet boxes, I looked inside to find the one emerald ring, the engagement one. I placed it in my quills and hurried upstairs to the Master Bedroom.
