Knuckles woke up the next morning with a smile on his face. Even though he had no clue where Rouge lived, he still had a feeling that he would find her. He left Tikal to the emerald and glided off to mainland.
"This is going to be a little tough," he commented as he soared over the ocean. Soon Station Square came into view and the smile disappeared from his face. He had forgotten how ridiculously huge it was. "Just a little."
Rouge woke up, still frightened from her dream. "Maybe I'll just take a little walk to get my mind off everything." She got up, got her jacket out of the closet, and went to the door. "There's no way I'll run into Knuckles," she told herself," he's too obsessed with that giant green rock." She left her apartment with a smile on her face.
Knuckles walked through the streets, searching for Rouge without success. "I was so freakin' stupid for thinking I could just walk here and find her! I have no clue where the hell she is!"
Right after Knuckles had said this, he saw the beautiful white bat walking on the street, and a spark of joy went up in his heart. "Rouge!" he called out, running toward her.
Rouge looked up, "Oh god......" she muttered. Knuckles was the last person she wanted to see, it was so hard to ignore him. Still, she had to, so she walked down the street like she hadn't seen or heard him.
"Rouge!" he called again, "What's her problem?" He continued to run after her until she disappeared into the crowd. "Dammit!" he muttered under his breath, "I finally found her and now she's gone!" He didn't give up though, he'd come too far to just give up. So, with a determined look on his face, he made his way in the direction Rouge had just gone.
Rouge ran into a shopping mall and panted, catching her breath. Knuckles probably hadn't even been following her, but still she had ran as fast as she could to escape. "Ok," she said to herself, " where should I go now?" She looked around the mall for a store that Knuckles would never go in. She finally found one, the make up store.
Rouge couldn't help but smile as she said to herself, "Knuckles would never go in a make up store, not even if his life depended on it."
Rouge made her way to the store, glad to have a place where Knuckles would never find her, when she saw the echidna walk into the shop. "God!" she mumbled, "Isn't it safe anywhere?"
Knuckles looked up and saw Rouge walking away. "Oh no," he said to himself, "you're not getting away this time Rouge the Bat!"
He followed her as she walked around the mall, trying to catch up with her, but she was too fast. "This is just a little bit annoying," Knuckles mumbled sarcastically. He ran faster and finally caught up with Rouge. He grabbed her shoulders, causing her to scream.
"Who the he-" she started , but then she turned around and saw Knuckles smiling at her. "Oh, hey Knuckles, what brings you to mainland away from your precious green gem?"
"I came searching for you. There's something I need to tell you."
Rouge looked at him. This wasn't fair, she wanted more than anything just to spend time with him, but that would be putting his life on the line. She looked into his violet eyes, and suddenly she completly forgot her dream. "Okay, what is it?" she asked.
Knuckles looked around the mall, and then back at Rouge. "I think we should go to a quieter place," he told her. She nodded her head, and they walked out of the mall to an empty park.
Knuckles looked at Rouge and wrung his hands. "Ok, Rouge, I'm going to tell you what's been on my mind if you promise not to laugh." Rouge nodded at him with a smile on her face, "Okay, Rouge, the thing is, I can't stop thinking about you, no matter what I do. Before I had no clue why, but now I do," he gulped as he closed his eyes, "Rouge, I love you."
He kept his eyes closed and expected to hear Rouge begin laughing hysterically. Instead, he felt her hand on his ceek, and he opened his eyes. Rouge smiled at him and whispered, "I love you too."
Slowly they leaned in towards eachother until their lips connected in a passionate kiss. They separated after a minute or two and Knuckles smiled. "So do you want to do something together, like a date?" he asked uncertainly.
Rouge smiled back at him. "Absoloutely" they walked out of the park hand in hand.

Rouge walked back into her apartment a few hours later with a smile on her face. Her and her now official boyfriend Knuckles had gone to dinner in a fancy restaraunt, and then to a movie. Best of all, Rouge no longer had to avoid Knuckles, as her dream never came true. "It was just a silly dream after all," she told herself as she got into bed. Little did Rouge know that it had been much more than just a silly dream.
