In the morning Rouge woke up.
"Rouge... Rouge... Rouge!" She heard.
"What... what is it." She said waking up. She lifted her head and saw Amy.
"Oh hi Rouge I didn't know you were awake." Amy said cheerfully. Rouge opened her eyes and noticed she had her right arm over Knuckles. Quickly, in an attempt to hide it, she leaped from the bed and landed on her back on the floor near Amy.
"What was that for?" Amy asked.
"Nothing, I just wanted to get out of bed." Rouge lied uneasily.
"Okay, well anyway it's the last day we're up here, so Tails said that we could go to another planet, he hasn't told us witch one though." Amy said.
"Alright... Alright..." Rouge grumbled, getting up.
Knuckles awoke. "Huh? Amy! Why are you always here when I wake up?" Knuckles said.
"I don't know, I wake up and come in here." Amy said simple.
"Good morning Knuckles." Rouge said sweetly.
"Morning Rouge." Knuckles replied with a smile.
"You guys are friends?" Sonic asked strutting into the room and overhearing them.
"Yeah Sonic, that a crime?" Knuckles asked sarcastically.
"No... I just didn't think you guys were very close, you know? You don't do anything together, except for kiss- THAT'S RIGHT WE KNOW!" Sonic almost shouted.
"What?" Knuckles asked, very uncomfortable.
"Don't think we didn't see you last night, lovers." Sonic mocked.
"You can't call us lovers!" Rouge yelled angrily. "You have no right! My dad is a cop and don't you think I don't know the law!"
"If your dad is a cop, why are you a good for nothing thief?" Sonic said crossing his arms.
"Sonic..." Rouge growled angrily.
"Rouge, he's just trying to push some buttons." Knuckles said kindly.
"Oh look, big strong Knuckles is gonna save the day by telling his girlfriend about buttons!" Sonic said swaying back and forth.
"Sonic, if you know what is good for you, you better shut it..." Knuckles warned.
"Okay, Okay im sorry." Sonic said rolling his eyes. "So are you really together?" He asked.
"Yes." Rouge replied simply.
"We were trying to hide it because we didn't think you would understand..." Knuckles said.
"Its not like we are gonna have you thrown in jail for being in love." Sonic said putting his hand on his heart.
"Maybe not, but you could have ignored us forever." Knuckles said laying back down.
"Forever? That's a long time, I probably would get bored." Sonic said yawning.
"Alright... So we don't have to hide now?" Knuckles asked.
"No." Sonic said raising his eyebrow.
"Great." Rouge said with a sly smile. Knuckles was laying, face up on the bed with his eyes closed listening to the conversation. Rouge walked over to the bed and kissed him. He placed his hand on her cheek and kissed her back. Rouge lifted her head. " Knuckles, we better get ready, we're going to a planet, we don't know witch one though."
"Okay Rouge." He replied smiling.
