HydraSprite- How do you like it? I actually like writing about SonicxRouge… when Sonic isn't the too gay, too happy kind of hedgehog… Rouge rox! Thanx HS!

Jayln the Hedgehog- Of course I'll make it a ShadAmy! 10 out of 18 of my stories are ShadAmy!

Everyone who actually likes this- this is actually my first Sonouge… I should have said that before… is it obvious?

Sonic started coughing. He spit out some water. "Oh, thank god… I thought I had to give you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation…" Rouge said.

Sonic was breathing harshly. "It's okay… that was brave, Sonic…" Rouge said.

She was soaking wet. He noticed that he was too. "R-R-Rouge? Y-You saved me?" he asked, surprised.

She smiled and nodded. "And while you were unconscious…" she started, pointing to the emerald.

Sonic crawled to the edge of Angel Island. They were high in the air again. He smiled at Rouge. "What's the smile for, Sonic? You almost drowned." She said.

"I know you wanted to give me mouth-to-mouth…" Sonic said.

Rouge smiled and shook her head. "Perv…" she muttered.

"Rouge, if I jumped in the water again… will you save me? Did you just save me because you figured Knuckles will be mad?" Sonic asked.

"No… I saved you because I wanted to…" Rouge said.

The moon was a half circle. It had a translucent glow. Sonic stared at it… "You know, Rouge… every time Shadow sees a full moon… he thinks of Maria… hell, he thinks of Maria all the time…" Sonic said, still watching the translucent glow of the moon.

"Where are you going with this?" Rouge asked curiously.

"I want something I can remember you by…" Sonic said.

"Like what?" she asked, sitting down.

"Like… a kiss…" he said.

Rouge looked away… she was a deeper red that Knuckles. "I-I-I don't know…" she stuttered. She watched the moon.

"Okay… fine… if you don't want me to remember you…" Sonic said. He stood up and started walking up the steps.

3, 2, 1… "Wait… Sonic…" Rouge called out.

She walked up the steps again. "I… want to remember you too…"

Amy's house…

Shadow sighed. The guest room was wide open. He just couldn't sleep. He walked out the door and bumped into Amy. "Umm… sorry…" he muttered.

"Wait… what?" she asked.

"I said… sorry…" he said through clenched teeth.

"Shadow… past few days… you've been nothing but a pain in the ass…" Amy said.

"Then kick me out…" he said and started walking away.

"No… I don't want to… you being a pain just made me realize… how nice you are…" Amy started.

"Really?" Shadow asked, turning around and raising an eyebrow.

Amy smiled. "Yes…"

Angel Island…

"And how are you going to do that?" Sonic asked.

Rouge looked away. "Umm… surprise me…" she said.

Sonic smiled. He touched Rouge's cheek. She didn't pull away… nor did she stop him. Sonic kissed her. She didn't regret it… she didn't pull away… but… she knew that Knuckles wouldn't be too happy.

Later… after Sonic fell asleep…

Dear Diary…

I know… I know… That was a bad thing… but… I don't know… I don't regret it one bit… she sighed. Why is love so complicated? Before… when I dropped the emerald… I found out… Sonic almost drowned so he can save me from Knuckles's anger… why would Knuckles be angry with me if he loved me? Sonic forgave me right away. I am so confused… love is confusing…

The next day…

Rouge blinked. She opened her eyes to find a certain red echidna. She gasped. "Knuckles?" she asked.

"Nah… it's just a hologram… I had Echo send it to you…" Knuckles said.

She looked around to find Echo the Echidna, sitting on the edge of Angel Island. (her profile in my bio)

"Oh…" Rouge said, looking kind of happy.

"Wha- happened last night?" Sonic asked.

He sat up and looked around. "Knuckles?" he asked, confused.

"I just want to ask if the emerald is okay…" Knuckles said.

Oh yeah… if you really love me, Knuckles… you would put me on the top of your list… like Sonic did last time… The thought brought a smile to Rouge's face.

"Well, it did get in a… situation… but we saved it!" Sonic said with a smile.

Knuckles nodded. "Oh… wait, excuse me…" he turned around and kicked some bad guy in the balls. "Okay… so… I need to go… thanks, you guys!" Knuckles said.

The hologram disappeared. Echo picked up the little thing that transmitted the hologram. She turned to Rouge and smiled. "It's nice… to have someone care for you… me… my fate is different…" she said in Rouge's voice.

"Echo… you know that someone out there… might have the same powers as you…" Rouge said.

"Oh yeah… someone that can talk in some other person's voice… to hide their own…" Echo whispered in Rouge's voice.

Echo liked Rouge. Rouge let her 'borrow' her voice around her. Her true voice is a mystifying power…

Now, did you likey, HS? Is it okay for me to call you that? If not, I can call you HydraSprite again…
