Sonadow2000: Still don't own Sonic the Hedgehog or any other related content...-_-; Oh and to NamelessMoonshine ~ No worries, I don't have half of them either...only reason I know them is 'cause I looked on AZLyrics...^^; Oh this chapter contains a Sonic/Knux kiss, don't like, don't read!
As the sun moved across the sky in its usual path across the Mystic Ruins, Tails stood outside of his workshop. His pride and joy, the Tornado 2, also his cyclone walker was next to him. Tails had just finished his latest improvements to the plane/walker and was standing back to admire his work.
"Wow...that looks great Tails!" came a call. Tails whipped around to see the brilliant blue blur he knew as Sonic coming up to him.
"Sonniku! Ohayou!" Tails greeted chirpily as his friend skidded to a halt in front of him.
"Tails! Gomen ne..." Sonic apologised before even requesting what he wanted. Sonic and Tails frequently talked in Japanese, as it was Tails' first language, but Sonic wasn't exactly fluent in the language.
"Gomen? Naze?" Tails was freaked out; he knew that Sonic wasn't the most apologetic of people, but right now he hadn't even done anything...
"Tails..." Sonic stalled, he didn't know how to say what he wanted in the language.
"Sonic, I understand English well..." Tails knew that Sonic liked to talk in Japanese for Tails as it made it easier for him, but Tails knew English well and knew it was easier for Sonic to speak English.
"Wa...OK Tails. I was wondering if I could get you to fly me to Angel Island? I need to see Knuckles about something..." Sonic trailed off, not wanting to discuss the nature of his business with Knuckles to Tails.
"Well sure!" Tails put on his uber happy face (sorry, can't get those thingymibobys on...-_-;) and hopped into his revamped Tornado 2. "C'mon Sonic!" He motioned for the speedy hedgehog to move it.
"OK Tails, keep your fir on!" Sonic sighed; he was beginning to think that his impatience was rubbing off on the kitsune. He jumped onto the plane's wing and stood there as Tails took them on a familiar journey to Knuckles' island.
~*~*~*~*~*~Angel Island~*~*~*~*~*~
Knuckles sat at his normal spot, guarding the Master Emerald again. Since Rouge last visited he hadn't had another visitor to his quiet island. Sometimes it drove him crazy; though he loved to be lost in his own thoughts sometimes it was good for him to actually have someone to talk to. Rouge was that person...
"Damn, I'm so bored...So bored I'm talking to air!" Knuckles punched the ground angrily with his fist. Looking up he saw a small blue dot flying towards him. Interest finally struck him as he realised that it was Tails' Tornado 2. He ran to greet the plane's arrival.
"Hey!" Knuckles called, he ran as quickly as he could to see who was there. "Sonic, Tails!"
"Knuckles!" Sonic smiled and waved at his ruby friend. "How are you?"
"Bored out of my mind until you guys came...why are you here anyway?" Knuckles wasn't accustomed to seeing Sonic or Tails on Angel Island without good reason.
"Sonniku wants to talk with you." Tails piped up.
"Oh, OK. What's up Sonic?"
"Erm...Tails, I don't mean to be rude but this is sort of private...would you mind?" Sonic felt guilty about shunning his best friend but this was something no-one but Knuckles knew about...because he was involved.
"Not at all. I will leave plane here. Sayonara." Tails turned and flew off Angel Island as Sonic and Knuckles shouted their goodbyes.
"So, Sonic...what's the matter?"
"Knuckles...you remember, erm 5 summers ago...you and me?" Knuckles flinched at the memory.
"Yes...but I thought we'd both changed since then..." Sonic looked at the ground as Knuckles stated this.
"I haven't...I still have those feelings..."
"But S-Sonic..."
"Not for you...for Shadow..."
"Well ask him; that guy seems the type." Knuckles was trying to fight back his shocked reaction; Sonic had promised that his feelings had changed, that he now liked others...
"No...he's going out with Amy."
"WHAT!? When did this happen? Goddamnit, I hate being on this fucking island!" Knuckles, as much as he liked to keep his reputation as a silent loner up, he was a total gossip lover.
"Well after our last encounter with Eggman, Shadow apparently asked her out. She didn't want to wait around for me so she accepted..." Sonic trailed off, he didn't want to even venture into the details of Amy's image change.
"How do you know?"
"Amy told me today, that's why I came here...Knuckles, I need to know...what can I do...I've never had that hedgehog out of my mind, but I can't reveal my feelings, I know he's not like me..." Sonic nervously ran a gloved hand through his sapphire quills when he finished.
"Sonic...you can't deny your feelings, but you can't tell him; he won't feel the same way...Not if he likes Amy."
"But...what if...?"
"Sonic, no what ifs..." Knuckles put a hand up towards Sonic's mouth to silence him. Before Sonic could figure out what was going on Knuckles had moved closer to him, taking Sonic's body with his strong arms. His lips touched Sonic's in a brief kiss.
"I thought..." Sonic started, but Knuckles interrupted him.
"I didn't say I was fully converted!"
