"Rise and shine Shadow." Amy said in a cheery voice. Shadow slowly opened his eyes and saw Amy sitting on the edge of the bed. She had pulled out the sofa bed for him last night. He looked at her sleepily. "Come on what kind of cereal do you want for breakfast?" Amy was now in the kitchen fumbling through the cabinet. "How about fruit loops?"

"Fruit what?" Shadow sat up from the bed and looked into the kitchen.

"I suppose next you're goanna tell me you don't know who Toocan Sam is right?"

Shadow shook his head not knowing what she was talking about.

"Oh my gosh here try these." Amy tossed him a box of fruit loops.

Shadow caught the box and examined it. Then opened it and ate a few of them. "Hey Amy?"

"Yea?" She leaned her head out to see what he wanted.

"How come there isn't a black fruit loop?"

Amy looked at him bewildered. She did notice that there was a color for almost all the Sonic characters in the box but not one for him. "Um I don't know it is weird isn't it, but forget that we gotta jet." Amy picked up her bag and opened the door she then turned and tossed Shadow the bag that held all his emeralds. "Com'on." She exited the house as followed by the black hedgehog. "Shadow can you chaos control us to the air port?"

Shadow shook his head yes, and put an arm around Amy and she shut her eyes as Shadow lifted up his green emerald and they disappeared into a flare of green light.

Amy slowly opened her eyes and saw they were at the airport, she noticed that she had her hand on Shadow's witch was still around her waist. She pulled away gently and walked toward the entrance of the airport blushing terribly. Shadow walked after her his eyes glinted with a little uncertainty as to why Amy was blushing.

Shadow and Amy were standing in line waiting to get their tickets. Amy sighed. "This is goanna take forever." She stepped over to a line of seats and stood up in one, she then cupped her hands over her mouth. "Oh my God that guys got bomb, it's a terrorist!"

The line of people and about twenty other people ran screaming out of the airport. Amy jumped down picked up her bag and walked past Shadow. "Com'on we gotta hurry before someone realizes I lied." Shadow smiled as he walked behind her, he didn't think Amy would ever do something like that.

"Can I help you?" A woman asked as she looked at the two.

"Yes, I booked two tickets online."

"Name?" The woman inquired.

"Amy Rose."

"Oh yes here we are." The woman pressed a few buttons on her keyboard. Then she handed two tickets to Amy.

"Thank you." Amy turned and walked away with Shadow at her side.

It was now about four thirty in the afternoon Rouge rolled over in the bed so her head was resting on Knuckle's chest. Then she slightly opened her eyes. She saw the morning sun pouring in through the window and Knuckles was still sleeping. She smiled as she reflected on the night before, then she felt a hand run down her back. She looked up at Knuckles, he grinned with slightly closed eyes. Rouge sat up in the bed and stretched her arms upward while her wings remained wrapped around her upper body. Knuckles sat up behind her and placed his arms around her waist pulling her close to him and then resting his head on her shoulder. "What a night huh?" Knuckles whispered in her ear.

Rouge sighed with contentment could life be anymore perfect at this moment. "Hum…Yea, you were incredible." She laid her hands over his and pulled them tighter around herself and nuzzled his neck.

"You weren't so bad yourself we gotta do it again sometime." Knuckles closed his eyes for a moment as if in thought.

Rouge smiled as she thought what it might be like to spend the rest of her life with her sweet romantic Knuckles. The thought was bliss. She turned her body in his arms so she was facing him. She smiled as she touched her forehead to his. "You know I love you more than anything else in this world right?"

"The feeling's mutual." He grinned as he kissed her.

Rouge was lost in the sweet kiss, but suddenly something that had been harboring in the back if her mind, shook her world. She jerked away from Knuckles and scrambled out of the bed, her wings had adjusted so her lower and upper body were each covered by a wing. She was standing in front of a desk in the room that had a bag sitting on it; it was what Rouge had gone after the night before. She had now shoved on a pair of high cut faded blue jean shorts the edges obviously worn, and a black T-shirt that had been cut to make a bell shirt. Knuckles was still sitting in the bed dumbfounded. "Rouge where are you going?"

She slip on to the edge of the bed and looked at Knuckles she put her hand on top of his. "Look if it were any other time but now I'd stay but I have to go." Her hand moved to the back of his head where she pulled him into a deep kiss. She released him slowly very slowly wishing that she didn't have to leave but she knew she had no choice. She got up from the bed grabbed her book bag and ran toward the door.

She stopped when she heard Knuckles voice. "Why are you leaving?"

She looked at him for one last second. "Let's just say I'm not going to break another promise." She opened the door and then disappeared down the stairs.

Knuckles got out of his bed and pulled on his pants. "I gotta find out where she's going she's not getting away that easily."

Tails was already up and was just finishing off a glass of orange juice, when he heard someone come barreling down the stairs. He saw Rouge slide past the doorway as she tried to stop. She took a few steps backwards. "Tails can I ask you a question?" She seemed a little out of breath.

"Sure Rouge what do you need?" Tails placed the glass in the sink.

"Can you tell me what airline will get me to Pairs fastest?" Rouge stood there ready to take off again as soon as she got her answer.

"Umm I'm goanna say Delta for a trip to Paris, but why-"

"Thanks see ya Tails!" Rouge said quickly as she dashed out the door.

Tails turned and walked out of the kitchen looking at the door then he felt a hand on his shoulder it was Knuckles. "Hey Tails did you see witch way Rouge went?"

"Well sort of she came running down the stairs and asked about a flight to Paris and then ran out the door." Tails answered still not sure what was going on.

"Paris why in the world would she- look I might be gone for a while I'm going after her." Knuckles moved toward the door.

"But Knuckles wait, what's happening what's going on?" Tails asked in desperate attempted to get some answers.

"Tails if I knew what was going on do you think I would be a nerves wreck right now?" Knuckles dashed out of the house.

"Why am I always the last one to know?" Tails looked at the door for a moment and then walked back into the kitchen still confused and confounded about the whole thing.
