===============================
I'm sorry... If I hurt you...

Rouge had awoken from the same dream she's been having ever since the incident. It seemed as if something was trying to tell her something. She couldn't understand it.

She saw Knuckles sleeping on the blanket laid down on the sandy ground. She didn't know why, but she thought he looked soft of... cute. She got up from the hammock and went to her.

A Few Moments Later

Knuckles had awoken from the same dream as Rouge. Why did he save her in the first place? He had to let her stay. She's driving him crazy!

He wanted to wake himself up, so of to the lake he went. But unfortunately, he didn't notice the empty hammock.

The Emerald Lake

Knuckles went up to the lake, took a handful of water, and washed his face. But as he was washing himself, he heard a voice. Someone else was there. He looked up and let out a little yelp.

He saw Rouge naked.

Rouge was showering under the waterfall, and then heard the yelp. Someone was there. She turned around, covering herself with both arms, to see that the yelp came from Knuckles.

She screamed so loud, it shook the whole island up!

The Emerald Forest

Knuckles ran for his life, full of embarrassment. He couldn't believe that he saw Rouge in her birthday suite. He was blushing so hard that his cheeks were twice as red as his fur. He knew that Rouge was chasing him, so he hid behind a nearby tree.

Rouge was running in the forest with her clothes on, gritting her teeth. She was pissed off and embarrass at the same time. She wanted to kill Knuckles. Rouge had never felt this embarrassed in her life.

Knuckles saw Rouge about a yard away from the tree he was standing behind. I'm gonna die, he thought unpleasantly. She's going to find me and kill me! Oh man, I forgot that she lives here. Wait a minute... Did I just say that she lives here? Come on, Knux! Think straight! Rouge can't possibly live here. She's only staying for a little while.

 Suddenly, Knuckles let out a sneeze. Thanks to Rouge's strong hearing, she could hear the sneeze and she knew were it came from. She jumped behind the tree and pushed Knuckles against it.

"YOU PERVERT" she screamed, punching him in the mouth. "You knew that I was showering, did you?"

"N-No of course not," Knuckles said, shuddering. "I never felt this disturbed in my life."

Upon hearing this, Rouge kicked Knuckle in the groin. Knuckles fell down, fetal position. "Creep" Rouge yelled at him, walking away.

As Knuckles stood up, he yelled back, "BITCH!!" and walked the opposite path from her. That girl is going to get what's coming to her by 2:00 this afternoon. I'm going to give her everything I've got.

Rouge was walking away from Knuckles, very angry. That creep is going to get what's coming to him by 2:00 this afternoon. I'm going to give him everything I've got.

But then she stopped in her tracks. Why was she angry at him? He didn't know that she was showering. Now she was afraid that he was going to throw her off the island for good. She couldn't return to the city. She might die if she did.

But still, that wasn't going to stop Rouge from kicking Knuckles' butt in their scheduled wrestling match!
