Kagome: Uh…it's only been about half an hour since I finished ch. 10. My parents aren't grounding me. My mom was just really mad. My memory card is screwed up and I lost EVERYTHING. I have to restart SA2! No! And SADX! No! And my 2P status is ruined in SA2! No-…wait…I was getting my ass kicked. Never mind. If anyone knows a place to download Sonic music from SA(DX) and SA2(;B), please tell me…I'll be your best friend…wait. I don't wanna push you away. I'll leave you alone. :mumbles 'yeah right'…: Seriously, I was gonna re-make my SA2 CD and make a SA(DX) one. If anyone's familiar with this song my CD player takes as 'Warrior's Shadow' (it tells you the song name), tell me where in SA2 it's from. I don't recognize it, but it sounds like something you'd hear in the game(probably-if not defiantly-from Shadow.) I'm listening to Space Trip Steps (Meteor Herd) now, and I'm really annoyed I can't listen to any other Knuckles songs besides Kick the Rock (Wild Canyon) and the Knuckles theme. :sigh: Soon enough. Just one gamecube day…Anyway, this is the chapter Knuckles finds Rouge…I just haven't come up with how to get Tikal away for a KnuxRouge moment. Sorry Knux was a bit crazy last chap, but that's our Knuckles…sometimes…So, on with ch. 11.

metaldragon75767: I was talking about Sonic Heroes. I have SA2 (I was playing just an hour ago…). I know the story's boring right now…and I'm gonna try to fit in more KnuxRouge, but right now I had to restart all my video games…:mutters: stupid SADX…

ShadowIsCool: Thanks for a lot of what you said, so you like Futurama, too…

Disclaimer: For as long as the name of this chapter is mostly random, I don't own any characters in the story (especially Tails.) and I don't own anything else. (especially Tails's gay sleeping mask.)

Ch 11-I'm listening to Live and Learn right now.

"So, Rouge is on that place?" Tikal asked. "How are we supposed to get there?"

"It's armed all around, so…"Knuckles started to explain. "We can't take the X-Tornado. And a boat's just as bad, so…"

"Knuckles!" Sonic rushed out of nowhere. "We found Rouge!"

"Where is she!" Knuckles demanded, lifting Sonic up by the collar (even though Sonic doesn't have one…) "Tell me where Rouge is!"

"Take it easy Knuckster! She's perfectly fine!"

"Take me there!" Knuckles commanded.

Wow…Tikal thought in partial sarcasm. For not liking her, he really cares a lot.

Running faster than if a fangirl was after him, Knuckles followed right behind Sonic. Just barely. But enough to impress Sonic.

"When'd you get faster?" Sonic asked.

"Practice…" Knuckles panted, referring to the fangirls. "Maybe too much…" Knuckles fell over, panting. "Water…" Sonic sweatdropped.

"Rouge!" Knuckles walked over. Nearly everyone was there.

"Wow…" Tails said. "I expected him to be running here."

"He was." Sonic explained. "But, he overdid it and didn't have enough strength left."

"Pathetic." Shadow commented, watching Knuckles yell at Rouge to wake up. "Doesn't seem like he's too exhausted."

"You know…" Sonic suggested, trying to give Knuckles and Rouge some privacy. "I think there's a bank robbery over at the bank…Why don't we check it out?"

"Save it, hedgehog." Shadow refused. "This is way more entertaining. Besides, where else can a bank robbery take place?"

"Than why don't you just not stay here…?" Sonic tried, but to no avail (whatever that means…). After about half a minute, Shadow got bored and gave in. "This is already dull. I guess we can go stop the stupid robbers. But they're not worth it."

So, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Tikal, and anyone I forgot left. Then Sonic came back.

"By the way, Knuckles." He said. "We forgot to tell you. Part of Rouge's wing is gone."

"How can you forget to tell someone that!" Knuckles glared.

"Beats me." Sonic shrugged, and went to run off, but Knuckles had one more thing to say. "And remind me to kill you later for what you told Tikal about me liking Rouge."

"Sure thing." Sonic lied. Why the hell would I remind him to rip my head off?

"Rouge! Wake up!" Knuckles returned to yelling. "WAKE UP!"

Rouge's eyes opened slightly. "Knuckles?" She rubbed her head. "What happened?"

"No clue…" Knuckles shrugged. "The soon-to-be-late Sonic says you lost part of your wing."

"Yeah…" Rouge recalled. "That's right. That robot…"

"G.U.N. attacked you!"

"Well…yeah…I was on prison island, so…" She responded. "How did that place 'blow up'?"

"…huh……?" Knuckles was confused.

"I remember the place blew up, but it's still there…"

"Well, uh…" Knuckles tried to explain. "Shadow put dynamite packs in it. Eggman's idea."

"Shadow works for Eggman?" Rouge was defiantly confused.

"He used to." Knuckles explained, deciding it'd be better not to tell her all about Maria, the ARK, and the other things. "Long story. Shadow stopped helping Eggman a while back." Rouge tilted her head, then stood up, looking back at her wing. "Huh…I thought I lost a lot of it. I barely lost anything…"

Sonic's…still…dying…

FIFTENN MINUTES AFTER KNUX AND ROUGE GOT TO THE MANSION.

"So, where did everyone go…?" Rouge asked Knuckles.

"The bank. There was-" Interrupting Knuckles, A hedgehog glaring at another hedgehog and everyone else came in.

"You will pay, hedgehog." Shadow threatened his blue clone. "You. will. pay."

Knuckles and Rouge looked at eachother, then back at the rest of the group.

"What happened?" Rouge asked.

"There weren't any robbers at the bank." Tails explained, unaware that Rouge was completely clueless.

"That was a waste of time…" Shadow glared.

"I have a bone to pick with Sonic, too!" Knuckles joined in. "Why the hell did you tell Tikal that!"

"Tell Tikal what?" Rouge asked. "…Who's Tikal…?"

"She's another Master Emerald holder." Sonic explained, trying to change the subject.

"And you told her that one thing!" Knuckles was trying to make sure Rouge didn't find out.

"What one thing?" A curious Rouge asked.

"Nothing!" Knuckles exclaimed.

"Work. on. your. acting." Rouge and Tikal told him at the same time.

"I'm Tikal the echidna." Tikal greeted. "So, your Rouge?"

Oh great. Not another Knuckles. She thought to herself. Well then again…Knuckles can be sweet at time-

"Yo, batgirl!" Knuckles commanded. "Give me your pieces of the Emerald."

"Bite me!" Rouge responded. Rare times. Knuckles can be OKAY at RARE times.

"The Master Emerald is special. You can't handle its power!"

"Yeah, well, who's the one that lost his pieces of the Emerald in space?" She asked, knowing the answer. But Knuckles just stared at her. "What, Knucklehead? Have you forgotten?"

"How did you know that?" He had never told her about it, and didn't think Sonic or any of the others had either.

"I don't know." Rouge shrugged. "I knew about prison island too…"

Was it posible some of her memories were coming back?

Kagome: Uh…the title was pretty random. But, when I typed it I was listening to Live and Learn…I ditched my Inuyasha fic…I might create a another Sonic fic, but shorter. Then maybe a teen titans one or fullmetal alchemist. :thinks: There aren't many marmalade boy ones either. I don't know. Only one friend doesn't think I suck at writing, so any complements I get is from the reviewers. (I am the type who will start thinking her stories are crap unless I get good reviews since my friends all say otherwise.) Well, that would make me good for nothing but piano. :sighs: So, I'm gonna try to get this online tomorrow, but I have plans, so I'd be getting to the library at nine…I'm usually still asleep at nine…
