"...and that's my plan," Sonic finished, finishing his cake as well. Knuckles
nodded to himself while leaning back in his chair in deep thought.
"The only way we can do this is if we find the Chaos Emeralds from this world," Knuckles mumbled, mostly to himself. Everyone heard him anyway.
"And how are we going to do that?" Sally asked, poking her own slice of cake with her fork.
"I may have an idea..." Knuckles, once again, mumbled.
"And what would that be?" Sonic asked, leaning back in his chair a bit to look into the living room where Cody and Tails were currently battling each other in the second Sonic Battle Adventure game.
"None of your business!" Knuckles snapped. Everyone at the table, including Carl in some strange way, was staring at him as if his hair was suddenly plaid.
"Nevermind. I'll have the information about the Emeralds soon..." he grumbled. He then walked off to another room, most likely to think to himself.
Knuckles could hear them talking as he walked off. "What's wrong with him?" Amy had asked.
Knuckles shook his head and sighed. What was wrong with him? He was just going to meet a jewels expert...
Later that night, Knuckles stood in the cold winds while he waited outside the Cuma Romia restaurant. Where on Mobius was Rouge?!
It was then that she decided to show up. Once again in her usual outfit of white and purple, coupled with her almost white hair, Knuckles had to admit that she actually looked quite attractive in the human form. Maybe it was the fact that there was no longer a difference in species that made her so attractive.
He shook his head to clear it. He had work to do!
"Sorry I'm late," Rouge purred, "but I had something to pick up." She walked very close as she headed to the door. "Shall we go in?"
Knuckles rolled his eyes, but he remembered his manners at least. "Ladies first," he replied, holding out his hand to indicate the direction of the door.
She smiled and headed inside. Knuckles stood back for just a moment to try and figure out what in the world Rouge was trying to do.
He eventually followed her inside, where he found that she had already asked for a table for two. He was able to hear a bit of the conversation.
"Date, or just hanging out?" the waiter asked. "You don't have to answer, but I am curious."
"Date," Rouge replied, smiling. "My boyfriend's cheep, so I have to pay today. I don't mind, but I'd prefer the table to a conversation right now."
Knuckles almost pulled back in horror to the words revealed by Rouge. He did, however, put a hand over his mouth to try to hide the no-doubt obvious expression on his face.
As they sat down, Rouge said, "I have something I've been wanting to ask you."
"Same here," was the reply.
"Do you know the location of the Chaos Emeralds on this world?"
Knuckles just stared at Rouge, this time in dumb-founded surprise. That was not what he wanted to hear.
