A/N: It occurred to me that I haven't actually been replying to the reviews
lately and I feel bad, partially for not updating as regularly as I did on
Blue is the colour of the Coal heart, which is entirely my fault because
I'm feeling like a lazy asshat at the moment ^_^;;. So, here goes.
Flare the Mechanic: Good, I'm doing my job then ^^
DragonMasterNaya: Damn, what have I told you people about reading my mind?! It spoils the plot *mutter mutter*
Anonymous: *cries* here the next chapter *bows*
Sonic-Girl52: follow this girls example people. She is good. *feeds cookie*
Espio: if I get five out of five do I get a banana with my name on it?
SonicFanatic: um... thanks? *has no idea what MADTV is nor why it is in all caps*
SSJ-Sonic: wait up! *runs away from obsessed reviewers*
ShadowsObsesser: uh-huh. *gives Shadows obsesser anti-caffeine pills* Now, go with the men to the nice white padded room. *backs away*
Trampus McDampus: yeah I felt that too about it being a little tacked on the end, so I'm gonna work on my transitions, descriptions and generally getting my stories to flow better in this one. Please review again and tell me if you think I'm getting better or worse. I love structured reviews like this and don't worry negative criticism helps me improve so don't be afraid to use it.

"Hey, Cole we could see... Cole?" Blue frowned walking outside. She looked around, where was he? She sat down on the wall outside the cinema, maybe he had just gotten to get a drink or something... Twenty minutes later Blue stood up, her light blue quills shaking angrily.
"Screw this." She growled pulling her disk out of her bag, jumping on in and flying home.
Cole was running so fast that his eyes had started streaming, or at least that would have been his excuse had be been asked; of course very few people could actually catch him. Unfortunately he couldn't outrun his own mind, an image of Blue swam into his mind and his legs started to turn to lead. He slowed down to a crawl to find himself in a desert, he fell to his knees in the hot sand as tears ran down his face. What had he done, poor Blue, poor beautiful Blue, she trusted him and what had he gone and done?
His body wracked with another sob as his mind imagined her hurt expression. But what could he do? There was no doubt about it, him and Blue were related, Amy was Blue's mother and his own as well. Why did it have to be that the one girl that he was falling in love with was turning out to be his sister? Although it would explain why Sonic had been aggressive towards him, but Amy had practically shoved Blue into his arms... He shook his head, none of this made any sense at all! This was all Amy's fault, stupid stupid Amy! He punched the ground, he really felt like punching someone right now...
High up in the night sky Knuckles' ear twitched. He frowned and scratched it. Bad things always happened when that ear itched, either he was super- sensitive to these things or bad things always happened; either way he didn't like it one bit. He glanced to his left, a panting Black hedgehog.
"Cole, what's the matter?" Knuckles said shocked.
"Where is Amy, Shadow or Sonic?" Cole demanded his fists clenched in anger, he wanted to loose his anger on the people responsible for it.
"Cole, you look like you're about to kill someone. What's wrong?" Knuckles said warily looking at the angry teen.
"If you won't tell me where they are then I'll just get you instead!" Cole growled charging at the guardian. Knuckles rolled his eyes and threw the boy to the floor twisting his arm so he couldn't get up again.
"Cole. Don't bother. What's wrong?" Knuckles sighed.
"Get off me!" Cole screamed enraged.
"Is it Blue?" Knuckles prodded raising an eyebrow.
"Don't... she..." Cole said feeling hot tears streaking down his face.
"I thought so. Women cause so many problems." Knuckles sighed releasing him and sitting down next to him. "Blue especially." Knuckles added as an afterthought, Cole winced at her name.
"So what's my little fur ball of a hedgehog student gone and done to you then?" Knuckles asked curiously as he eyed the tears running down the hedgehog's face.
"She's done nothing!" he wailed smacking his fists on the floor.
"Oh?" Knuckles said slightly shocked.
"It's me! I'm the one that's screwed up." Cole growled pushing himself off the floor.
"Tell me then." Knuckles said gently, he didn't want the irate hedgehog to start attacking him again, he might end up hurting Cole if he did.
"Well, I knew that it was bothering Blue that these people were showing up pretending to be her parents so I figured Eggman was behind it. So I went to tell him to knock it off or else." Cole explained.
"I probably would have just attacked him without saying anything." Knuckles shrugged grinning.
"Anyway, he said that it wasn't him, because he knew the truth about Blue's parents and mine too, and he said that that would rock her mind more. Obviously I figured that he was lying, but he said that he had gotten Amy and Shadow drunk and they had me. He said that he had no idea where Amy went when she got pregnant because it had happened twice, he said that Amy and Sonic had..." Cole looked up at Knuckles' face, he looked extremely shocked. "YOU KNEW!" Cole shouted jumping up.
"Sit down you fool." Knuckles growled smacking him in the back of the knees. "Now listen, Amy has told me things in confidence before which I can not tell you. But I assure you, I only knew half of your story before." Knuckles said raising his eyebrows.
"So half of it you know is true?" Cole said in hushed tones as he caught on.
"Yes." Knuckles replied.
"Is it about Sonic and Amy?" Cole asked.
"Sonic doesn't know anything about what Amy's told me. I'm wrapped up in that one too... Amy asked me to use a chaos emerald to erase part of Sonic's memory, but that's all I'm telling you." Knuckles said firmly as he crossed his arms.
"So Amy never mentioned anything about Shadow then? Because I heard them talking a minute ago and it sure sounded like I might be their kid." Cole asked worried.
"Nothing like that no. And I think she would have if it's true." Knuckles said thoughtfully.
"This leaves me no more certain than when I started! And I may have left Blue all for nothing!" Cole growled exasperated.
"I think that you need to talk to Blue, if nothing else to explain what you've done and why. And if you two want to know where you stand then you need to talk to Amy, she seems to be the one at the center of all of this. And I happen to know that Amy is over at Sonic and Blue's house right now." Knuckles said with an air of mystery.
"You're right." Cole said standing up.
"And Cole," knuckles began.
"Yes?"
"No beating anyone up." Knuckles sighed.
