KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNA

A/N: Chapter two! There seems to be a bit of confusion…the skit "Know Your Stars" is indeed from All That. It is not from the Amanda show. Here's a way to remember. It's from the show…All That…and I am…All That…and a bag of chips! lol…Sonic and his company are owned by SEGA, but Celestial and I own all the others. They aren't used here though…possibly in the far future they will be though…
Okay then…enjoy!

Knuckles the echidna steps over Sonic's motionless and still bleeding form. He walks onto the set and sits in the lonechair.

"Know your stars, know your stars, know your stars, know your stars..."

"Knuckles the echidna…talks to inanimate objects."

The echidna loses his passive and bored expression. "What? …I don't talk to things! …When you spend your life guarding the Master Emerald it gets pretty boring. The MA keeps me company! You are all wrong brotha!"

"Things can get pretty ugly when you're bored," says a male's voice from some unknown place.

"…" The announcer pauses. "Knuckles the echidna…makes out with the Master Emerald."

"…Who told you th-" The guardian pauses for a second before correcting himself. "I MEAN…no I don't!"

"Hahaha! You DO!"

Knuckles' face turns beat red to match the color of his fur. He scowls at the announcer; in other words, he glowers at the wall.

"Knuckles the echidna…he has an irrational fear of cheese."

"No! I like cheese!" shouts the crimson echidna. "I'm not cheesophobic! Who are you? Why must you tell these LIES?"

"Knuckles the echidna…he's an arts and crafts teacher."

"What!"

"Knuckles the echidna…he will appear in the next Pokemon movie."

The scarlet male narrows his amethyst eyes in puzzlement. "What the hell is Pokemon? No one told me about any movies!"

"Knuckles the echidna…he is the newest member of Sesame Street and his name is Knuckers the stubborn mole!"

The bright red echidna jumps to his feet. "I am NOT part of any children entertainment show! I'm not a mole either! I'M AN ECHIDNA!"

"Okay…Mr. Mole."

"AHHHHHGGGHH! SHUT UP…JERK!"

"Nice comeback…"

"Really?"

"No."

Knuckles looks taken back and sits down, his curvy tail between his legs. His head is also hung low and being shadowed by his long dreads.

"Knuckles the echidna…his real name is Rootie Tootie Fruity Patootie."

"What? No my real name's Knuckles! I'm not rootie, tootie, OR fruity!" shouts the echidna. "Ooooooohhhh!" He lets out a pitiful cry of frustration.

"Oh so you're patootie then."

"No!"

"Sure…Rootie Tootie Fruity Patootie…"

Knuckles glowers at nothing but the wall, his arms crossed tightly, fingers balled into firm fists.

Knuckles the Rootie Tootie Fruity Patootie echidna…he drinks pure tartar sauce every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday afternoon."

"I hate tartar sauce with a passion! I'm outta here!" Knuckles gets up furiously, his sharp teeth clenched together tightly and bared in anger.

"Now you know Knuckles the echidna."

Knuckles stops on the spot, and turns around ever so slowly. His left eye is slightly twitching and small flickers of flame linger lightly in his pupils. "Like hell they do, bitch! LIKE HELL THEY DO!"

He stomps backstage, making an audible pounding on the shiny floor.

"Where are those donuts I was promised?" asks the male echidna angrily.

As for Sonic he is still lying on the cold floor, the bleeding beginning to stop ever so slowly. The hedgehog's head is resting in a small, shallow pool of his own blood.

Then light smell of sweet, sweet donuts reaches Knuckles' moderately large nose. He breathes it in and loses himself in it, lets his eyes close as he sniffs the air, and stands completely still.

A high voice rings throughout the silent air. "DEY HOT, DEY HOT!" Suddenly, Knuckles is pushed aside by someone, someone who is dumb enough to further upset an already 'on the edge' Knux, someone unknowing, someone…stupid.

The 'criminal' who had so rudely shoved Knuckles had blown right past everyone, into a billowing drapery of glossy purple-black curtains, towering up into the high and shadowy ceiling.

Knuckles chases after the female who had run into him. He finds her at a table and notices the smell of tasty donuts is much stronger, in other words much more heavenly. His mouth begins to water and he walks over to the maroon echidna at the table. His amethyst eyes meet a horrible sight, however. The female echidna with long dreadlocks standing next to him is shoving the last few steamy warm donuts into her large mouth. Crumbs litter her light orange tank top, which is worn over a loose pale green T-shirt. As she slowly looks at him her bright yellow eyes close into a very happy upside-down u position. She is still chewing the donuts and very sloppily at that. The tall female wipes her sticky white gloves on her dusty green baggy cargo pants and swallows the final doughy gob of sugary fried goodness.

"Hi!" says the girl happily. He gives Knuckles a small wave. "What's your name? Mine is Cinder!"

The crimson echidna's jaw is dropped in horror and his eyes are dilated in absolute terror. He had wanted a tasty pastry so badly. And as quick as he could enjoy the smell of the donuts…they were gone, all of them…gone.

"…It's okay take your time."

The bright red echidna regains all his thought and quickly angers. "You ran into me and THEN…then you ate ALL of the damn donuts!"

"They were very good," says Cinder brightly.

"But I wanted one…" says Knuckles sadly.

"Well…" starts the maroon echidna. "They're all in my belly…but I might have another one."

She reaches into her pocket, which surprisingly holds a lot more than thought. She pulls out a few slices of roast beef. "Oh I forgot I had this in here!" The female sniffs the meat a few times, then chomps it down in two bites. "Mmm…"

She continues to search and lets out a squeak of triumph as she pulls out an old and battered looking donut. It has what appears to be chocolate sauce on top of it. "Here." Cinder smiles warmly as she holds it out for Knuckles to take.

He looks at the donut and his hungry stomach emits a violent growl. There doesn't seem to be anything that wrong with it… Knuckles reaches out slowly and takes the donut from Cinder. He then takes a bite of it…

His face gets a disgusted look on it as the sauce on the donut had not been chocolate…it was gravy…for meatloaf. He spits it out and throws the 'treat' to the floor. "Yuck! That was gross!"

Cinder's jaw drops. "What? You didn't like the donut with gravy? It's my favorite kind!" She quickly bends down and scoops it up off of the floor, blows on it, takes a whiff of it, smiles and sighs while looking up into the endless pit of black for a ceiling, and shoves it into her pie hole.

A/N- Yeah, as you may have noticed this goes into a little more depth other than just The "Know Your Stars" part. It will not outshine the main point though. I hope you liked chapter 2! Please leave reviews!
