Hey everyone sorry I haven't updated for a long time very busy for the last week of school. Anyways thanks for all your reviews. Here's the next chapter-
"I heard from Tails the one friend that won't lie to me!" said Amy.
"Tails?" said the guys together looking at each other Tails?
10 minutes Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles stood fuming outside Tails' house. Sonic knocked and the door opened to reveal Tails.
"Hey guys, how's it going?" he asked cheerfully
"Tails, what did you tell them?" said Knuckles straight to the point
"T-Tell who?" he asked stepping back
"Tell Lektra, Rouge and Amy, that's who" said Shadow pushing his way in and roughly pushed the fox onto a sofa.
"I didn't tell them anything" he exclaimed
"Don't lie to me!" said Sonic
"Unlike you right?" snapped the fox
Sonic stood frozen as a sudden feeling of understanding came upon him. We had lied to them and they were right not trust us.
"Sonic?" Knuckles asked worriedly
Shadow was concerned as well. Of course he is THE faker, a couple of words hurt him easily.
"Guys, we need to apologize to them" said Sonic looking up
"Why?" Knuckles enquired crossing his arms
"Because we did lie to them and they took it the wrong way" Sonic replied
"But they didn't trust us, even if we did tell the truth they won't believe us" said Shadow
"We have to try" and he dashed out the front the door
Shadow nodded and did the same. Knuckles bid his goodbyes to Tails and ran out the front door.
"Good luck guys" he said quietly and he went back to tinkering the X Tornado.
Knuckles found Rouge beside a jewelry shop staring at the claw necklace studded with small diamonds. He approached her nervously and tapped her shoulder. She turned around and stepped aside to run away but Knuckles grabbed her arm.
"Let go of me loser!" she yelled trying to pull her arm away
"Wait, I need to explain" he said looking down.
She stopped struggling and looked at him. Knuckles started to explain about the bet and how they had to ask them out. Rouge stood there and listened.
"And that's what happened" he finished
Rouge stood there for a moment then said "But that still doesn't explain why you hit me"
"I know and I'm really sorry" he pleaded "Please forgive me"
"Or why you really asked me out" Rouge continued
"Don't you see? I asked you out because of you" Knuckles said finally pouring it all out. All the emotions that had been kept inside are being let out. Soothing and cleansing. "I like you Rouge, I mean I really like you".
Rouge didn't reply. The fact was that he still hit her out of anger and she just couldn't bring herself to get hurt again. "But you hit me" she let out quietly. Knuckles wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her in close to him. Rouge looked away but Knuckles brought a hand under her chin and gently pulled her face to meet his.
"Rouge…I will ever let that happen again" Knuckles gulped, this was it "Rouge I love you"
Rouge was shocked but simply replied "I don't know if I love you"
"Rouge please, I will never bring myself to hit you again" said Knuckles pleadingly. Rouge kissed him on the cheek and flew off. Knuckles stood there heart-broken.
"Lektra!" Shadow called
He wondered in the park and came to a cliff. He saw someone standing on the edge. On closer inspection he saw that it was Lektra.
"Lektra!" he called
Lektra jumped and turned around. Shadow caught up to her and began speaking "Lektra, I'm so sorry about before". Lektra still looked down. Shadow began to get impatient. "Lektra!" he called waving a hand in front of her face.
"I heard you!" she snapped. The black, female hedgehog looked out over the cliff and prepared to jump.
"Lektra what are you doing?" said Shadow shocked pulling her back.
"Something or do you have to find out what I eat in the morning as well?" Lektra wrenching out of his grasp. "Or is your life so terrible that I can't do what I want?" she continued.
"Lektra, I didn't mean to hurt you" he said
Lektra looked away and said "Everyone's life is hard, just think about that before you complain about yours" and she jumped of the cliff. Shadow rushed to the edge to see that she had landed safely on her feet like a cat.
Sonic found Amy in the abandoned garage practicing her guitar. He called out to her. Amy turned to him, fire filled in her eyes.
