The doorbell rang in Amy's house. Shadow answered it. "Who the hell is… Tikal… umm… what are you doing here?" he asked her.
"May I speak to Amy, please?" she asked. She sounded desperate.
Later…"Rouge isn't at her house, Sonic isn't at his, Shadow's mansion is being fixed up, Tails has loud noises in his house, so… can I stay here?" Tikal asked Amy.
"Why, what happened?" Amy asked.
"Well, I had to go on that mission that Knuckles is on too… but I kinda broke my arm… and he said he could do this all by himself… bless his soul… I can't go to Angel Island, because Sonic is there…" Tikal said.
"Well… of course you can stay here!" Amy said.
Dear Diary,
Rouge here again… I just returned from Amy's house. I don't know… maybe I should just be friends with Sonic… of course… I wouldn't want to do something I would regret… right? Replacing Knuckles with Sonic is an example. Sonic is a friend who I can talk to when I need to… I think…
Angel Island…
Sonic was lying down near the emerald. He yawned, then sighed. "Jeez… I am so bored… I have nothing to do… Nothing!" Sonic yelled.
Rouge landed on the altar's steps. Sonic ran down there, excited to break his boredom.
"So… what happened?" Sonic asked her.
"Nothing… It was nothing. I just talked to Amy…" Rouge said.
"Great… that's it? I'm bored…" Sonic said.
Of course, I can't tell Sonic… I seriously can't tell Knuckles… I would be devastated if Knuckles ever found out. I can't temporarily leave my Knuckles…I love Knuckles. But… what if I did take Amy's advice? I can't betray Knuckles like this… if I do… what will be my consequences?
"Hey, Sonic… umm… if you're bored… why don't we… go somewhere?" Rouge asked nicely.
"And the emerald?" Sonic asked her.
"Umm… maybe we can take it with us…"
"Angel Island will go crashing down… It'll cause a tidal wave…" Sonic said.
"I have an idea… I'll fly away… after… maybe 5 seconds… take the emerald and run away as fast as you can." Rouge said.
"Yeah, sure… go!" Sonic said.
Rouge flew toward Mystic Ruins. I wonder why she wants me to go with her? Whatever… as long as I'm not bored, I'm happy! Sonic grabbed the emerald from it's quiet resting place. The island began to shake. Sonic ran away from the island.
He met up with Rouge out near the waterfall. "So, Rouge, what was the real reason that you wanted me to go with you?" Sonic asked.
"I-I… I was just bored… what's wrong with asking a friend to accompany me around town?" Rouge asked.
"Umm… well… since we're different genders… I consider this a date." Sonic said.
"Okay… you can call it a date… I won't." Rouge laughed. She flew away.
"Come back!" Sonic yelled after her.
Of course, Sonic can catch up to her, but he couldn't reach her. He jumped up. Rouge flew away from him. Sonic smiled at her. He jumped up and caught her. They both rolled down on the floor.
"Sonic! That hurt!" Rouge laughed out.
Sonic smiled at her… "So… what are we supposed to do?" he asked her.
"Sonic? Rouge? Are you guys okay?" someone asked.
Sonic and Rouge looked up. They found a small brown kitsune.
"What's going on?" Tails asked them.
"Umm… nothing…" Sonic said, standing up and helping Rouge up.
Amy's house…
"So then, I jumped up on top of the biolizard's rail, and I hit his energy source… I was the one that sacrificed my life to save the world… and who gets all the glory?.. Sonic the Faker…" Shadow said to Tikal.
They were sitting on the couch. "Then what happened, Shadow?" Tikal asked, looking interested.
"I 'died'" Shadow simply said.
Amy stared at the two on the couch, with envy. How dare they? They may be guests… but… they can't just leave me to clean their messes!
Amy stood in the kitchen. It was filthy to the core… it looked as if a twister hit.
Sonic and Rouge…
"So… why aren't you guys on Angel Island?" Tails asked them while sitting on his porch.
"We're on a date!" Sonic said.
Rouge smacked him on the back of the head. "Only you call it that!" she said.
"So… what about the emerald?" Tails asked.
"We took it with us!" Sonic said.
"Yeah… a while back… I did hear a loud noise." Tails said. "Wait… it'll have to be an important emergency if you guys took the emerald and left…"
"Nah… we were just… bored." Sonic said.
"What about Knuckles?" Tails asked.
Oh shit… Sonic tells Knuckles that we were on a 'date'… he'll never forgive me!
