"Sonic? You remember when I took an x-ray of Rouge and Knuckles? Whatever's wrong with Knuckles… is the exact same problem with Rouge…" Tails said.
"But… Knuckles said there's nothin' wrong with himself." Sonic said.
Oh shit… I knew it… I wanted to tell Tails anyway… but… I guess it's better if they found out themselves. It saves me the trouble of telling them…
"So… tell me, Knuckles… were those 2 unidentified people… you and Rouge?" Tails asked.
"I… don't know… and I'm seriously not joking!" Knuckles admitted.
Please believe me… Something's seriously wrong with me… What is it? WHAT?
"I want to find out what's wrong with them… Knuckles… do you not remember anything at all?" Tails asked.
"You should try to remember as much as you possibly can." Sonic said.
That's the problem… I don't remember anything… I know that I was sound asleep last night… and I think it's probably because of the constant headaches… But I've got to remember…
"Although, I know this may probably take long… it's worth it." Tails said.
"What'll take long?" Sonic asked.
"I'm going to scan these x-rays into the computer and I will compare them… I will tell you if I get to a conclusion." Tails said.
Sonic turned on the TV. Knuckles focused hard to try to remember anything.
Knuckles stood up. Is there someone else inside me or something? I feel something. A… a presence. I don't believe in ghosts… A spirit? A person? But it's impossible for me to 'share' my mind with someone else… can it? I've got to find these answers myself… I will do this… I need to know… Why is this happening?
Walking around Station Square's museums… Rouge heard something. What was that? I heard a sound… I've got to follow it… but wait… I heard it in my head… how can I follow something in my head?.. Rouge asked herself.
She walked up to the treasure she would soon keep. A Chaos Emerald… in perfect condition…
Rouge was staring at it. A security guard walked up to Rouge…
"You aren't planning on stealing this, are you miss?" the guard asked, laughing at his own joke.
"Um… no… what gave you that idea, sir?" Rouge asked.
"You didn't hear? It was all over the news… this emerald was stolen just last night… but somehow… the thieves lost it and it was put back where it belongs…" the guard said.
"Thieves?" Rouge asked, making sure to put pressure on the –ves part.
"Yep, 2 unidentified people…" the guard said.
That happened last night? I should know! I know who steals what from where all the time! What did happen last night? It was blurry… Rouge thought.
"Blurry…" Knuckles said aloud.
"What about 'blurry'?" Sonic asked.
"It just popped into my head…" Knuckles said.
"Whatever…" Sonic said.
You guys are the best… you probably know what's going on in my life right now… Knuckles thought sarcastically.
"What's going on in my life?" Rouge asked herself after she left the museum.
Shadow jumped out of the ground in front of her. "I don't know… what is going on with your life?" he asked.
"I seriously don't know… but I will find out!" Rouge said.
"How are you going to find something if you don't even know where to start?" Shadow asked.
Where should I start? I don't even know what kind of information I'd dig up. But… if I want to find out what's wrong with me… I have to try!
"Why don't we start with Knuckles? You said that he's acting weird too…" Rouge said.
"But you always faint or black out when you're near him… how are you going to get the information you need if you can't even get near him?" Shadow asked.
I don't know! I don't know how I'll get near him! I don't know how to get the info out of him! It's like I don't know anything anymore! No, I'm just nervous… Jeez… this is the first time I want to get near Knuckles… and not just for his emerald either. Damnit Knuckles! What did you do to me? Always fainting or blacking out near you.
"Tails? You said that Rouge has the exact same problem that I do?" Knuckles asked unsurely.
"That's correct… why?" Tails asked.
"Then why don't I talk to her?" Knuckles asked.
"Because you always seem to-" Sonic was cut.
"I always faint or black out when I'm near her…" Knuckles said.
"Exactly! How'd you know?" Sonic asked.
"A little birdie told me… or should I say bat?" Knuckles said.
