Yayneseseseseses! Hyperneseseseses! Happynesesesesses!

Sonic yawned and opened his eyes. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the island is gently floating on the water…… Wait… the island is gently floating on the water?

He looked around to find Eggman. He was in his flying egg thing-y. "Rouge, wake up! Egghead stole the Master Emerald!" Sonic said.

"No… just give me 5 more minutes…" she mumbled.

Sonic shook her a bit. She opened her eyes. "Sonic? Wha- happened?" she asked.

He pointed at Eggman, who was getting away. "Oh shit! Knuckles'll kill us!" Rouge said.

Sonic started running after him… Rouge glided over there.

"You'll never catch me alone, Sonic!" Eggman said.

Sonic stopped. He pointed up. Eggman looked up and Rouge kicked him off of his vehicle. She put the emerald down, gently on the floor. She kicked Eggman back into his vehicle. Eggman flew away.

"Umm… Rouge… how are we gonna get it back on Angel Island?" Sonic asked.

Rouge and Sonic looked at Angel Island, floating on the water… without a bridge…

"Can't you carry it and run on top of the water?" Rouge asked.

"No! It'll be too heavy for me… then I sink and drown!" Sonic said.

"Umm… then… why don't we work together?" Rouge asked him.

"How?" Sonic asked.

"You see… I could only carry this for a few feet… you could probably carry it a few feet too… so… I have a good plan… but we have to work equally… 'kay?" she asked.

A few seconds later…

"Okay, Sonic, you first…" Rouge said.

Sonic struggled while trying to carry the emerald onto his back. Rouge helped him out.

"Okay… start running with the emerald… when you can't anymore… throw it up, I'll catch it… then you start running toward Angel Island… agreed?" Rouge asked.

Sonic was too preoccupied to say yes. So he gave a simple smile. Sonic started running with the emerald… his feet still above water… After a few feet, he threw it up to Rouge. Rouge caught it and kept flying.

Keep going, Rouge… you can make it… Sonic's counting on you… Knuckles'll probably kill you… wait… why haven't I noticed before?…… Sonic cares… Knuckles… is…

Then Rouge's arms fell asleep and it fell, Sonic tried to catch it, but failed. It fell deep in the water. Oh no… it fell… it wasn't her fault… that thing's heavier than Eggman and Big together…you know what? I'm going to try… I can… a bit… Sonic stopped running. And then (of course) he fell in. There! I see it… but I'm not good at this.

Oh shit! This is my fault! "I'll help you, Sonic!" Rouge whispered.

Sonic saw the emerald. I can't swim… I'm running out of air… uh-oh… no… I failed… Sonic closed his eyes. But before he can, he saw someone coming to his rescue…

Oh… Rouge wuvs Sonic! Ya like, HydraSprite? More romance in the next chapter… I know this because I already started…
