Kagome: Please note that I quickly came down with a severe-but short-case of writer's block. Because of this, the chappie may be horrible and short. Also, sorry it took so long to get online.

jewel thief: Poor Knux? How many chapters have you read? And nothing's going through his mind. Seriously, I probably don't remember cause I'm weird like that!

terragirl57 (ch. 25): yep. Count 'em two! And this time, only one. It'll probably be a while before my next update. This work will be extremely crappy, gomen!

terragirl57 (ch. 24): that's fine. Thanks. Don't worry I plan on continuing. The reason your head hasn't exploded yet is because you hear my babbling in this fic so much!

Turquoise Moonlight (ch 24): Yeah. That was just this morning.

Turquoise Moonlight (ch 25): You know what I mean…Kay thanks. You know what I just realized though, how long has it been since your kumquat army was mentioned?

ShadowIsCool: Yeah…I would say that I already found out from Turquoise, but you did post first…So…yeah…it started on the 10th according to 4kids themselves, but-at least where I live-it started this morning and its the eleventh today. :shrug: Maybe 4kids just really wanted to be on Saturdays.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but three pages of Ed Elric pictures…7 of them him looking extremely hot in. Now that I've scared away all sane ppl, you may continue reading! ;;

Rouge, who was just about to knock on Knuckles's door, when she noticed a sign on his doorknob reading 'Disturb me and I'll kick your' the word 'ass' was scribbled out, probably by Chris since Kagome couldn't think of someone who would do that.

What's he gonna do to me? Rouge thought in sarcasm, making fun of his sign. Kick my scribble?

Opening the door, Rouge found Knux listening to music.

Furi-mukanai anata ni

'Itsuka wa aeru' to

Saigo no yakusoku matte ita

(Translaion: Without looking back at me you say

'We'll meet again someday'

The final promise I was waiting for.

"Going as low as to listen to depressing songs?" Rouge raised an eyebrow. "Oh, before I forget, Kagome says that she does not own Saigo no Yakusoku, or anything Marmalade Boy."

"Get off my case, batgirl!" Knuckles yelled.

"Touchy!" the bat replied. "I wasn't there because-"

"Because you felt the spa was more important."

"I wasn't there," Rouge continued, ignoring the echidna. "because I fell asleep. As soon as I woke up, I flew here!" Rouge then realized something. "Wait, since when do you watch Marmalade Boy…" She was disturbed by it since Marmalade Boy was really a shojo manga1/anime…

The echidna ignored the part about Marmalade Boy, since even the writer was just as disturbed as anyone else who knows MB and Knux.

"You fell asleep and missed our date…" He raised his eyebrow just like how Rouge had a moment ago.

"Yeah!" She sneezed.

"You okay?"

"Just a cold." She shrugged it off 2. "I flew all the way here from-………oh crap!"

"Oh crap what?" Knux tilted his head very slightly.

"Nothing!" Rouge replied.

"You're lieing." The stubborn anteater (Kagome: echidnas are anteaters, right? I ran out of things to call them a while back, so…) 'made known'.

"Yeah…" Rouge agreed. "You're lieing" Rouge made a sound as if she was clearing her throat. "'abilities' are contagious."

"What happened?"

"I…forgot…to tell the others that I was coming back to Station Square…"

"Nice, Rouge…" he told her. "Nice."

"Oh, shut up!" 3 Rouge defended herself. "So anyway, I'm really sorry I missed. Tomorrow sound good?"

"Sure…" Knuckles sighed. After she left the room, he pulled out two tickets to the pillows 4/5. I was going to take Rouge to see this concert 6 It's not like I like the pillows or anything, but I paid a lot of money for them…In a rare moment in this fic, the red animal got an idea. Who's good with computers here…Oh, wait, we all suck with them here…Maybe Shadow-wait! What am I thinking? "I'll ask Tails." Knuckles decided out loud.

"You'll ask Tails what?" I'll give you all two guesses who walked into Knuckles's room, unable to mind his own business because then he wouldn't show up very often in this fic. Yes. You…probably…guessed it. Shadow.

"I need to figure out how to download songs onto the computer." Knux admitted.

"So we have to listen to more of your crap?"

"Its for…" he stopped short. Saying 'Rouge' was probably a bad idea. "…Sonic! His birthday's tomorrow."

Shadow was half asleep, so he believed that…worse than lie…Walking off after showing Knux how to download music, he added "What are you looking for anyways?"

"The…pillows…?" Knuckles looked down. It sounded really stupid to say out loud…

"The pillows? Sonic has to have horrible taste in music."

"All I know is the lead singer sounds like he has his nose plugged." Knux explained. 7

Closing his eyes, Knuckles started to doze off. At least, until he hit the table with a thud. Opening them up quickly, he saw Rouge was holding his breakfast.

"Be more careful otherwise you'll land in your food." Rouge set his food back down.

"Th-" the tired echidna started to thank her.

"And then I'll laugh." She interrupted. "Didn't you get enough sleep last night Knucklehead?"

"Yeah! I slept like a baby!" The alien thing made yet another poor attempt at lieing. "Didn't stay up all night downloading music at all!"

To his relief, she let out a sigh instead of asking him questions.

"You worry me, Knucklehead." She said. Knuckles then pulled a cd out of nowhere. "I…made this…for…you…" he blushed. Taking the cd, Rouge hugged Knuckles, who really enjoyed it.

Kagome: Okay! Kagome out of ideas and have to get up to the library. Chappie over!

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

1 'Shojo manga' are comics for girls. Obviously same with 'shojo anime'.

2 Kagome babbling alert for this point and point three. Okay, see in a lot of fanfics and anime I read/watch I've noticed everyone makes a big deal about colds. Just wanna let you know, I don't do that so don't expect her cold to come back as important.

3 Pure babbling alert. That is a typical conversation between me and my friends

Ex:

Me: Oh crap! I forgot my history binder at home!

Shampoo: Nice Kagome, nice.

Me: Oh, shut up!

Shampoo:grin:

4 The pillows is a techinacally-Japanese-rock-band-even-though-most-of-their-songs-are-more-like-pop-songs-then-rock-songs. They do a lot of songs-if not all-for that show FLCL/Furi Kuri. (Same thing…)

5 As much as I wish I did, I don't own Sawao Yamanaka, Yoshiaki Manabe, or Shinichiro Sato…maybe it would have been easier to write 'the pillows'

6 Because this is my fic and I can do anything I want in it including bringing Ed and Envy in as a couple (don't worry, I can't. It's called 'fan abuse') Rouge now like the pillows because they're cool.

7 Yeah, Yamanaka, the lead singer, does sound like that. Just listen to Advice ALL THE WAY THROUGH and you can tell.
