Hey everyone, I'm getting rather depressed, I only got one review and it was a flame, man! So irritating!!!TT Hopefully I got this chapter up soon enough for you. As I said I have writers' block, and again, bite me!

Spark:/reading a magazine/ anyway I've had enough of this, CG owns nothing in this story. Now lets get on with it.

HOLD IT! RavenGhost, Celestial the hedgird, and Serpent Night Dragon! There's something in this chapter for you!- You really have no idea how much your reviews mean to me!

The next morning, Knuckles had a throbbing headache when he looked up he knew why, a black Chao named Raven was hitting him on the head with a rattle.

"Hey, stop it!"Knuckles said sitting up out of Raven's reach. Raven looked at him knowing she gave him a headache, she rubbed her little hands together and laughed. Knuckles gave her a strange look. Another Chao came up known as Celestial, she was white and had stars on her body. She smacked Raven on the back of the head, it took Knuckles and another powerful Chao named Serpent Dragon to pull the two apart. Serpent Dragon was a purplish black and had the wings of a dragon.

Afterward there was a note on the ground that read:

Knuckles,

Time to get your own breakfast, don't eat anything poisonous! I'll be watching.

Tikal

Knuckles rubbed the back of his head now wishing he had payed more attention when Tikal had showed him how to prepare special plants. He wandered around aimlessly for a while then spotted a tree with fruits on it. Knuckles picked one and noted the color it was neon blue and red.

'Hmmmmmmm, has Tikal ever mentioned these before?' he thought to himself. He ripped the tough skin of it open to reveal the succulent pink fruit inside, it looked good enough, so he began to eat it, it tasted like a mixture of mango and grapes.

"Good, you remembered something!" said Tikal perching herself in the tree with Knuckles, "the skin of the kles fruit is deadly but the inside is delicious!" Knuckles smiled foolishly, well he did learn something.

"So, now what?"asked Knuckles.

"Actually, nothing else is happening today."Said Tikal

"Really? I can do whatever I want?"

"Yes . . . "she replied, "but don't go too far!" she yelled as Knuckles started running away.

"I won't!" he shouted back jumping up and swinging on a tree branch. Chaos appeared next to Tikal, and they took off to the Master Emerald shrine.

------------------------------------

Knuckles sat staring up at the clouds he never had leisurely time just to smell the flowers. It was always Knuckles do this Knuckles do that, scold scold lecture lecture. Thus, this was a rare occasion. Knuckles got up off the ground and saw a pond and small stream trickling by. Knuckles took off and dove head first into the water, the icy water felt wonderful against his hot, sun warmed fur. Then he spotted a brightly colored striped fish, and wondered if he could catch it. So he tried and tried and soon discovered the sun was setting. He looked around, nothing looked the same as it had in daylight, every little noise was magnified. Knuckles swam to the bank. It was cold, he shivered . . . he was lost.

I tried to make this longer and have better grammar, so I hope it was up to par. Think this chapter actually came out OK for having writers' block! Well R&R please no flames!
