Chapter 5: Unexpected guest

Angel Island. The only island that floaths in the sky because of the Master Emerald. And it's being protected by a powerfull echidna Knuckles.

Knuckles just lay before the Master Emerald. Sometimes, he peered an eye open to look if the Emerald was still there.

"You look cute when you do that, Knuckles." A females voice said. Knuckles smiled, he knew who this was.

" Hello, Rouge... What brings you here on my Island?" Knuckles asked with his eyes closed.

"Why, to steal the Master Emerald of course!" By hearing that, Knuckles immediatly stood up to protect the Emerald wth his life.

Roige laughed, "Of course not, silly. You're my biggest diamond now, hun." She said, looking sweetly at him. "Am I also better than the Master Emerald?" She asked, while walking towards him.

Knuckles looked at the Master Emerald and thought. "No.." He said simple.

Rouges ears began to drop, but then became very angry at what he just said. "What do you mean 'no'? I get it! I'm not good enough, is that it?" Rouge said as she angry on the stairs sat. Suddenly, she felt two strong pair of arms around her waist. Of course, Knuckles. She smiled and leaned with her head on his shoulder.

"You know that I wouldn't want to trade you for anything in the world." He whispered softly in her ears. Rouge smiled more.

"That's good. 'Cause I would give up any diamond or jewls just to be with you." She said as she kissed him on the nose.

"That's drastic." Knuckles said as he held her tighter.

Rouge turned around so she could face him. "Yes, but also very romantic, don't you think?"

Knuckles shrugged, "If you say so."

"You know, that's what I don't like about you. You don't know anything about romance." Rouge said as Knuckles frowned.

"What are you talking about? I can be romantic if I can!" Knuckles said in anger.

"I'd like to see you try." Rouge said as she grinned.

"Well, how about this.." Knuckles said as he softly kissed her. It was only for a few seconds, and then he pulled away. "How was that?" Knuckles asked Rouge.

Rouge thought for a moment. "Nope, not romantic enough."

Knuckles groaned. "What do you want me to do?"

"Mmhhh... How about a dinner here on your Island?" Rouge said.

"Whatever.. It sound good to me." Knuckles said and then stood up. Rouge pouted.

"Knuckles!" Knuckles turned around as he saw his girlfriend pouting. "What?"

"You have to ask me in a romantic way!" Rouge pouted more.

Knuckles sighed. "You sound like a spoiled brat right now... Fine fine.." Knuckles bend down before her and grabbed her hand in his own. "Rouge the Bat, would you like to join me at a dinner tonight under the full moon?"

Rouge smiled, "Of course I want too, my sweet Knuckles." She said and kissed him on the lips. He kissed her back, and wanted to continue forever. When he was about to go further, Rouge pulled away.

"Not until tonight, Knuxie!" She said as she flew away from his Island. Leaving Knuckles smiling.

Station Square-

Amy, Cream & Cheese and Sam were shopping in the mall of Sation Square. Amy was showing Sam all her favourite shops.

"Amy, can we please take a break? We've been walking for 4 hours now! I can't take it anymore!" Sam said with a heavy sigh.

Cream nodded. "I'm also very tired, Miss Amy. And Cheese is too!" Cream looked at her chao. "Ch..ao..." Cheese said in a very tired voice.

"But I haven't show the... Alright... We can take a five minute break or so." Amy said and happily sat besides Sam.

"Aren't you tired?" Sam asked amazed. How can she go shopping non-stop for four hours?

Amy smiled, "Nope! I do this almost every day!" After Amy said this, Sam groaned. She looked at Cream & Cheese, who were too tired to talk.

"Amy, how about we call it a day?" Sam suggested. "We are all tired, except for you that is..."

Amy looked down, "Yeah, I guess that's ok... Than we continue our shopping tomorrow!" Amy said, very cheerfull.

Sam sighed, "I can't wait..."

As they went outside, they notice it's already dark.

"Ah! It's already dark! Time flies when you have fun!" Amy said.

"Yeah, well, do you know a shortcut? I don't like the dark so much..." Sam said as she shivered.

"Me neither..." Cream admitted.

"Mhh... We can go trough the park, that's a good shortcut!"Amy said as they began walking towards the park.

It was a starry night and there were shooting stars. "Look, Cheese!" Cream said happy, "A falling star!"

"Chao!" Cheese also said with a happy voice.

"Then, make a wish, Cream. You too Cheese!" Amy said as the two began making a wish.

"Look, there's another one." Sam said pointing to a falling star. But, something didn't look right. The star kept falling and it became bigger.

"That is no falling star..." Amy said as she looked better at it. It was coming straight toward them!

"Duck!" Sam suddenly said and she pulled Amy down, who pulled Cream & Cheese down.

The 'falling star' missed them and crashed a few meters away from them. The strange thing was, it didn't made a explosion or something like that. Amy and the others stood up and brushed the dirt of their clothes.

"Let's go see what it was!" Sam said as she began to run at the direction were the 'star' had landed. Amy and Cream & Cheese followed her.

"Guys!" The voice of Sam was calling to them, "I've found something! Look over here!" Amy rushed to Sam, with Cream & Cheese followed behind her.

Amy pushed some leafs and broken wood from the trees. Then, she saw something. It was a hedgehog laying there! He was black with read streaks. Amy gasped as she saw the person fully.

"Shadow!"

DUN DUN DUN DUN! OMG ! Shadow ? I never thought I'd never thought I'd put him in my story! Cliffhanger! Review and tell me what you think! See ya next time!
