HydraSprite- Don't worry, HydraSprite… this chapter will definitely have SonicxRouge action in it…

metaldragon75767- You'll have to read to find out… but as you can see above…

Jayln the Hedgehog- If you haven't heard before… yes I do like ShadowxAmy couples. And KnucklesxRouge… but who doesn't love that? SonicxRouge is kinda cute too…

"Tails! You're awake! Thank you!" Sonic said in front of his door.

"It's 8:00 in the morning…" Tails mumbled.

"Yeah… I'm sleepy too… Knuckles made me stay up because… of something… I need your help…" Sonic said.

"Wha-?" Tails asked him.

"That invention… can you make something that negates it?" Sonic asked.

"Of course… I can make it reverse the effect of the other… but…"

"What?" Sonic asked.

"Well… it'll take about an hour and a half…" Tails said.

Shadow and Amy…

Well, Shadow… it's been almost 36 hours since you broke your arm…that means… just 36 more… great…this is stupid… I mean… I can just kick her pink ass out of here… so why aren't I?

"Come on, Shadow! You have to eat!" Amy said.

Oh yeah… she's 'taking care' of me… I can't fucking believe this… the Ultimate Life Form… getting fed and taken care of…

Sonic…

"Got it?" Knuckles asked angrily.

"Yes, yes sir! Umm… I'll fix this problem right away… but it'll take an hour and a half…" Sonic said.

"So… why don't you take her with you to Tails's?" Knuckles asked him.

"But that's a long time…" Sonic said.

"Then… I don't care! Just fix her!" Knuckles said.

Sonic sighed. So, what am I going to do? Just stick around in Station Square?.. alone?.. with… Rouge… maybe this isn't so bad after all…

A FEW MINUTES LATER…

"So, anyway, Sonic… what's up?" Rouge asked.

"Well, Rouge… you see… we're just waiting here for Tails… he… needs to give me something…" Sonic said.

"Well… it's boring not to do anything while we wait." Rouge said.

Tails…

"I wonder who he even used it for… can't be Amy… she's nuts for Sonic already… definitely not Cream… she's is way to young… can it be Rouge?" Tails asked himself.

Sonic and Rouge…

Rouge was laughing. They were sitting at a coffeehouse.

"You know what, Sonic? I never noticed how funny you are." Rouge said.

"I guess it's because you were always busy…"

"Yeah… but for you, I could have made some room in my schedule."

It was nice to hear that… I've wanted to hear something like that ever since day 1 on Angel Island…

Sonic sighed… "Rouge… I have to tell you something…"

"Umm… I kinda do too"

Oh no… please don't say 'I love you' Knuckles would kill me… It's better to watch you from afar and just dream about you. Although I want to hear it… don't say it…

"I just want to say that I lov-" Sonic got cut off.

"I'm sorry, Sonic… although you're nice and funny… not to mention a little cute… I kinda like Knuckles better… so if it's okay with you… I just want to be 'friends'" Rouge said.

Thank you… thank you… "Well… okay." Sonic said with a smile.

Tails was running around Station Square, looking for the recognizable, blue hedgehog.

Rouge stood up. "I don't want to hurt your feelings or anything." She said.

Sonic sighed and stared down at the floor. Rouge looked at him. She sat back down on the chair she was sitting on. She put her hand under Sonic's chin. She pointed his head to look at her.

Aha! There they are! Isn't that Rouge? I knew it!

Tails entered the coffeehouse. He ran to the table that Sonic and Rouge were sitting at. Tails interrupted just before Rouge could even start that kiss.

"Sonic, here it is!" Tails said, giving him a remote thing-y.

Sonic sighed. "Sorry, Rouge… but we'll still be 'friends'? Right?" Sonic asked.

Damn it, Tails… (sigh) I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

He pressed the buttons in the same order, like last time. Rouge looked at him and Tails.

"Sonic?" she asked.

Sonic looked at her. Rouge grabbed his chin and continued that kiss that Sonic longed for. "We're still 'friends'! Just don't tell Knuckles about that!" Rouge said with a smile.

She left the coffeehouse and left Sonic there. Yes! This rocks! I have the best luck ever!.. How about Shadow?.. I wonder if he's still okay…
