The base had been far away from the city, when Knuckles and Rouge had got there, even, it was almost 3:00pm, of course, they had to find the base so it took longer. But having Cream and Tails along made them slower, they were not very fast. Now, the time was currently 7:00, they had stopped once for dinner at a lonely diner on the way. The city was approaching, Knuckles and Rouge broke into a fight.

"What do you mean, 'Lonely Guardian'?" Knuckles yelled.

"Well, you're not a very social person, you know." Rouge said back.

"But im not lonely, I have six friends!" Knuckles yelled crossing his arms.

"Fine, I'll give you that one, even though I don't understand why we hang around with a moron like you anyway." Rouge said angrily. Everyone was getting tiered of the fighting, so they decided they would go to the apartment and wait for Knuckles and Rouge there. They ran off.

"If im such a moron, why do you hang out with me all the time?" Knuckles asked.

"Because!" She screamed.

"Because why!" He screamed back.

"Because I love you!" she yelled.

"What?" He yelled.

"You heard me, I love you." she screamed.

"Well I love you too!" he angrily screamed.

"Then kiss me!" She barked.

In one swift motion he was upon her, with his arm on her back, pulling her close to him, and kissing her. The kiss lasted a rather long time. Knuckles' legs were tiered, as were hers, Knuckles gently and slowly moved down, so he was laying on the ground, on his back, with Rouge on top of him. She broke the kiss and slid next to him, giggling. They both were. Rouge was on her side, with her arm over Knuckles' chest. She pulled her head back to his, silencing the giggling. When she finally lifted her head from Knuckles', she stood to her feet.

"Come on Knuckles, we better get going." Rouge said.

"Okay, lets go." he said standing. They walked back to the apartment.

They arrived looking drunk, even though they had not even seen a drink, they were giggling and laughing. They entered the apartment and were startled. Everyone was waiting for them.

"Where have you two been?" Amy asked.

"Have you been drinking?" Sonic asked.

"Did you get into a fight?" Shadow asked.

"Slow down, enough with the third degree. We were not drinking, we got into a fight, its over though." Knuckles explained.

"Who won?" Sonic asked. Knuckles and Rouge looked at each other for a few seconds then looked back at Sonic.

"Rouge." Knuckles said simply.

"Oh, lost to a girl?" Sonic said smiling.

"Hey, its not like im gonna hit an injured woman Sonic." Knuckles said.

"Okay, whatever, you're telling me you have feeling and decency right? Save me the speech Knuckles." Sonic said.

"I have more feelings than you know." Knuckles said glancing at Rouge then walking off to his room. Rouge giggled lightly then followed Knuckles.

"Im going to bed. Good night." she said as she left. Knuckles was sitting on his matt, smiling at her. She smiled back.

"Come on Knuckles, you can sleep in my bed tonight, you did it last night, it was fine." She said.

"Okay, sure." He accepted, getting on her bed. They fell asleep ten minutes later.

After twenty more minutes Shadow walked into the room and saw them he raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, Sonic, do you know what this is about?" Shadow asked. Sonic walked over.

"No, maybe she just thought he looked uncomfortable." Sonic said. "Just go to sleep Shadow." Sonic finished walking into his room.
