Episode 5: Enter Rouge.

Knuckles, Cream, and Big had made it to Station Square. Although Knuckles wanted to save Amy as fast as possible, he needed some help. Whatever place they were going to was probably heavily guarded, and that meant Knuckles needed a master spy.

Knuckles: As soon as we find Rouge, we're going after Amy.

Cream: But we don't know where Metal Knuckles took her!
Knuckles: I saw the letters T.A. on his back. And if you've been paying attention, there is a ton of stuff in Station Square that has that symbol on it. We'll just ask around.
Cream: Okay...

While they were walking around, a police officer approached them.

Knuckles: Is there a problem?
Officer: Don't you know that all furries are required by law to wear clothes?
Knuckles: No.
Officer: Do you have an excuse?
Knuckles: I've been living on an island for the past three years.
Officer: Well if you don't get some clothes, then you'll have to leave.
Knuckles: Fine!

Knuckles started to walk off, but then stopped.

Knuckles: Can you tell me where to get some clothes?

About two hours later...

Knuckles: Finally got out of that stupid store.

Cream: I don't know Knuckles, you look kind of cool.

Knuckles had a black muscle shirt and brown jeans, and he had his quills tied in a ponytail, with rose colored sunglasses covering his eyes.

Knuckles: I have to admit, it is nice to see Big wearing something.

Big walked out of the store with a hawaiin shirt over a white T-shirt and knee-length shorts. He also had his fishing pole clipped to his back.

Big: I'm the esscence of style.

Knuckles rolled his eyes, Cream giggled.

Cream: And the best part is, I got a new outfit!

She had a white T-shirt with a big pink heart on the back, angel wings on the front and blue jeans with rhinestones around the cuffs.

Knuckles: Yeah. Now can we PLEASE find Rouge?

Rouge: Somebody call my name?

Knuckles turned around to see Rouge standing behind him.

Knuckles: Rouge!

Whithout thinking, Knuckles hugged Rouge. She was surprised, but she liked being hugged by him. Realizing that he was hugging Rouge in public, Knuckles stopped and jumped back a bit.

Knuckles: Sorry about that.
Rouge: Don't be.
Cream: Rouge, something terrible has happened!
Rouge: The Master Emerald shattered again?
Knuckles: No. Amy's been kidnapped.
Rouge: What? By who?
Big: Some robot that looked like Knuckles.

Knuckles: The letters T.A. were on his back.
Rouge: T.A.?

Knuckles: Do you have any idea who it might be?
Rouge: Tenji Association.
Knuckles: What is that?
Rouge: They appeared about a week after Sonic went missing. They deal in all types of weapons and robotic technology.

Knuckles: Who is in charge of it?
Rouge: No one knows exactly.
Cream: So Amy was kidnapped by an Eggman wannabe?
Big: Then we gotta go bust them up!
Knuckles: Rouge, can you take us there?
Rouge: Of course I can.
Knuckles: Great! Let's get going!

Knuckles started to run off, but then he noticed that no one was following him.

Knuckles: What?
Rouge: Why run when you can drive?
Knuckles: But I can't drive.
Rouge: I was talking about me.

Rouge pulled out some keys and pressed a button. After she pressed it, a pink and white convertible pulled up next to them. Rouge got in the driver's seat, and pressed another button. This caused the car to extend, revealing a backseat.

Rouge: What are you all waiting for? Hop in!

Knuckles jumped over Rouge and landed in the passenger side. Cream and Big were in the back. Rouge turned it on, and they sped off.

Knuckles: How fast does this car go?
Rouge: 0 to 80 in five seconds.
Knuckles: Five seconds?

Cream: YEE-HAW!
Big: WHOA!
Knuckles: I would have perferred running!
