Some people disliked Knuckles dying… but… if you people know me really well… then you know two things… Shadow will be in here and about Knuckles, he- never mind… just read!

Amy looked at Knuckles with a raised eyebrow. "Umm… that's… hard to do… since… well, you're dead." She said slowly.

"So? I… just didn't have the courage to tell her when I was alive… but… now that I'm dead, I kinda have courage left over… and… I want to tell her." Knuckles replied.

"Wow… that's sooo romantic… but… if you didn't notice yet, she can't see or hear you!" Amy said loudly.

Knuckles gave a sigh. To Amy, it sounded more of a banshee whimper than a sigh… but she didn't care… all she cared for right now, was the feelings of her friend.

"Well… I… guess I'll try to help you… after all, it's like a death wish, right?" she asked.

Knuckles gave a slight smile. "If that was supposed to make me smile… it worked."

"Okay… well, why don't we do this tomorrow? I highly doubt she's up at 3 in the morning…" Amy smiled at him.

Knuckles shrugged. "You never know…" he said.

Amy sighed. "How about tomorrow? I wanna sleep…" she muttered.

"Okay… fine… but… won't she find it weird that-"

Knuckles's translucent eyes watched her. "Wha-?"

"N-n-never mind… lemme sleep!"

Amy fell back down on her pillow and started snoring. Knuckles smiled at her snoozing body.

How can I repay someone… if I'm dead? How can I tell her… if I'm dead? Millions and millions of questions buzzed around Knuckles's head… he drooped his eyes and sat down on the chair, physically unable to sleep.

The next day, Amy blinked and found Knuckles staring outside her window.

"Oh, c'mon, Knuckles! Cheer up!" she said.

Knuckles rolled his eyes. "Going out in the sun hurts me… it… burns… it's too much heat… and… I need-"

"Yeah, yeah… I got ya… just… lemme eat first…" she said.

Knuckles gave a slight smile… although she didn't notice. He sighed and kept at the window.

Amy slowly walked down the stairs. She felt sorry for Knuckles… but what was she to do? Does she expect him to come back to life? She sighed. And so begins the terrible headache…

Anyway, I can't write anymore for this… (I think I'm stalling… am I?)
