Ding ding ding, we have a newbie! Her name is Amber Firestone. She is a gazelle, and her ability is that she can kick very hard! She is also almost as smart as Knuckles...

And to everyone who wonders how all of my characters look, a friend of mine has drawn them all, (and she is soo good, her drawings are awsome!),and we're going to make a website with all our stuff. (that means all my fics, all her drawings and anything else we feel like posting). Unfortunatelly, non of us have a scanner, so it may take some time. When it's done though,I'll put a link to the page in my profile!

Part 7 Knuckles' admirer

It was Tuesday, in the break between first and second period.

Amber Firestone was standing on her usual spot, on the plateau in the stairs between first and second floor.

She was, as usual, leaning on the windowsill, and, also as usual, admiring Knuckles, who was, more as usual than anything, showing off his muscles to his friends.

It was common knowledge in the school that she was "secretly" in love with him.

Actually, everybody but Knuckles seemed to know.

And someone (guess who!) knew to take advantage of this.

"Hey, Amber!" "Sonic" said. "Admiring Knuckles again, are you?"

"Is it so obvious?" Amber said sadly.

"Kinda!" "Sonic" said comfortingly. "But you know that he is in love with Aleksandra, right?"

"No!" Amber said sounding confused. "Is he?"

"Yeah! ...You mean you haven't noticed?"

"No!" Amber said, just as Aleksandra shouted something to Knuckles, upon which he blushed like an embarrassed strawberry, sitting down with an expression of ecstasy on his face. "I haven't!"

(Newsflash to readers: Amber Firestone is not the smartest kid in class!)

"Sonic" sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Do you really love him?" "Sonic" said.

"Oh, yes!" Amber said dreamily.

"So," "Sonic" said. "you want him to be happy, right?"

"Oh, yes!"

"No matter what?"

"Oh, yes!"

"Then you must let him go!"

"Oh, yeh... WHAT, NO!" Amber said in shock. "Never! Ever!"

"You do know," "Sonic" said. "That he won't be happy with anybody else than Aleksandra, so if you meant what you said about wanting him to be happy, then you have to let him go!"

"Aahhhh!" Amber moaned.

"In fact," "Sonic" said, finally reaching the reason why he had come to talk to her in the first place. "If you really love him, and really want him to be happy, you should help the two get together!"

"You think I should do that?" Amber said.

"Definitely!" "Sonic" said. "The Sports day is on Friday, and you bet Aleksandra's gonna run."

"Yeeaahh..." Amber said. "And..."

"What if," "Sonic" said, "Knuckles gives her a brand new pair of running-shoes before the race! You know, as, kind of a gift of love!"

"But... why would Knuckles give her running-shoes?"

"Because he loves her!"

"But will he come up with that by himself!"

"You are gonna give him running-shoes, which he will give to Aleksandra!"

"But I don't have running shoes!"

"I'm gonna give them to you!"

"Do you have running-shoes?"

"YES!"

"So," Amber said. "You give me running-shoes. I give them to Knuckles, and he gives them to Aleksandra!"

"Yes!" "Sonic" sighed, and added in a low voice "That took time!"

"But..." Amber said. "That would make her happy!" She grunted enviously. "I don't want her to be happy!"

"I couldn't agree with you more!" "Sonic" said, sounding like someone trying to sell a car. "But think how happy Knuckles will be, when he gives her the shoes, and she becomes so happy, she falls in love with him!"

"Yeah!" Amber said happily.

"But..." she hesitated. "What if Knuckles don't give her the running-shoes?"

"Argh, you are going to tell him that she will fall in love with him when he gives her the bloody shoes, and that he therefore have to give them to her!"

"Oh... Okay!" Amber said. "Do you have the running-shoes?"

"Not yet!"

"You said you did, and if you don't, I can't give them to him, and he can't give them to her, she can't fall in love with him and he can't be happy!"

"I will give you the shoes Friday morning, okay?" "Sonic" said impatiently. "Then, you will give them to Knuckles, who gives them to Aleksandra, who falls in love with Knuckles and makes him happy!"

"Jey!" Amber said happily. "It's good running-shoes, right?"

"Trust me, Amber!" "Sonic" said. "They'll be excellent!"

To be honest, I'm really curious to see what those shoes will do, cause frankly, I have no idea.

Well, guesswe'll allfigure out eventually!
