Tail's House 2 weeks since the date

"Tails! That report, get that report! Print it now!"

"God damn Julie-Su calm down, Ow…I think I'm deaf in my right ear now." Tails said rubbing his right ear.

"I'm sorry Tails; it's just that this thing is really important." He walked over to his printer

"Why do you need this report?"

"I want the article because I think Knuckles's life is on the line..." Tails sighed, "Julie-Su...is this about the fact that he's in love with Rouge and not you?"

"Of course not! I'm over him."

"Sure you are..." He gave her the paper, she ran out the door "I better call Knuckles and tell him who's on the way." He tried to call but all he was the answering machine.

Angel Island

Knuckles was holding Rouge on his lap ticking her to death. "Knuckles...ha-ha...st-stop...ha-ha!" He kept tickling her, "Say you love me and then I'll think about it." He grinned at the laughing bat "Okay...ha-ha! I-ha-ha love you...ha-ha now...ha-ha! Stop!" "Now only if you give me a kiss."

"Fine...ha-ha." She kissed him as he wrapped his hands around her back embracing her, but the embrace was soon broken by a pink blur.

Rouge was knocked out of Knuckles's hands and land on the right side of her and Knuckles on the other side of her. Rouge got up first shaking her head "Amy what the hell—" She stop and noticed that the pink creature was an echidna, "Who the hell are you?"

The pink person stood up "My name is Julie-Su if you must know." Knuckles got up and said "Julie-Su what the hell are you doing here."

"You know her Knuckles?" Rouge asked wondering what the heck is happening "Yeah she's a...or was a friend of mine."

"What kind of friend?" She asked him as if he was doing something bad…

"It's not what you think I'm not cheating on you Rouge. That's the last thing I would even think of doing." Julie-Su interrupted their argument, "You lying bitch! You're here to complete a mission to hurt my Knuckles!" Rouge was confused but answered "First of all watch who your calling a bitch! Second what the hell are you talking about?"

The two argued about Knuckles, and then Knuckles saw a piece of paper in Julie-Su's hand he grabbed it and read it, he walked in between them.

"STOP NOW! Rouge is this true?" He said handing her the paper; Her eyes went wide as she read the paper "No...No th-this can't be real."

"It's as real as you and me." Julie-Su said crossing her arms and waiting for an explanation "Oh my God the president issue this…" She dropped the paper and ran off the island Knuckles ran after her but stopped when he heard Julie-Su mouthing off.

"That's right run you lying bitch!" Julie-Su yelled at her, she was about to say more but she was slammed into a wall by a very pissed Knuckles and extremely angry at her he growled.

"Now get this straight, from this day forth Julie-Su I never want to see you again within 10 miles of me and Rouge, you are no longer welcomed here! Now get the fuck off my island before I get mad enough to kill you." He said last part coldly.

"So this is the thanks I get for revealing the truth. We—" His rage grew and he let her go but harshly, letting her hit the floor hard.

"Get the hell outta my sight! Our friendship is over!"

"Fine." She walked to the edge. He saw some tears in her eyes but he didn't care at this point. "Someday you'll be sorry Knuckles." She jumped off, and he walked to the shrine.

White house; heavy security got asses whooped by a pissed off bat…

"What the fuck is this!" She yelled hopping on the desk, the president looked at her like if she was crazy, "Um…Rouge you wanna calm down and hop off my desk?" He said coolly.

She shove the paper in his face, "How'd you get this? This a strict order, only me and few others have access to this report." He said grabbing the paper.

"That doesn't matter, why are you ordering an assault on Angel Island! And for that fact why are ordering use of lethal force?" She yelled, she took breathe and got off the desk, still pissed she crossed her arms and waited for an answer.

The president sighed and confessed, "Rouge you know as well as I do, that green emerald has the power to supply the entire earth of endless energy! We have to take it, look we know he'll defend it to his death but he doesn't understand that it's for the benefit of the world!"

"So you're gonna kill him?" Rouge shot back, "That is not the intention, only if he begins to fight back, look why are we even talking about this? You're the one who told me about it!" Rouge glared as he tried to blame her.

"Call it off…now!" She roared; president shook his head, "I can't cancel a in-progress mission!"

"Either you call it off or I go to the press about a certain project you have under wraps! Starts with a 'L'…" She said; the president looked her in the eyes, "These ears can hear more than just mumbled conversations, now I don't have all the specific of that project. But I do know more than you think! Like how much money your spending on it, and a few other things!" She said confident in her blackmail.

The president picked his phone up, "Yea…get me the Black Ops tactics officer…"

Rouge couldn't help but let out a small smirk in the middle of her anger, she kept thinking to her self about what she heard before.

"There…it's done…now about you-know what…" The president said playing with fingers, "We'll see…for now, its my business only." She said walking out, the president growl a little as she did leave.

Angel Island

Knuckles was asleep on the shrine he woke up panting and sweating "Oh god that dream again." He saw Rouge coming to him he got and crossed his arms "What do you want?"

She looked into his purple eyes; he turned away "Knuckles I swear I knew nothing about that operation please look at me."

"Rouge it's not that I don't love you, it's just I don't know if I can trust you anymore..." She looked at the floor "So that's it huh?" She turned and walk away.

He looked at her sadly, 'You idiot! What the hell are you doing! Go after her, she apologized for something that wasn't her fault…but the Master Emerald…Who gives a shit! That thing is stay here no matter what, but she won't, she could have chosen any man she wanted besides you but she chose you because she loves you. He mind continued to argue with itself, his body moved on his emotions and not his thought, he ran for her.

"No! wait I'm sorry, I'm sorry for ever doubting you." A warmth of happiness ran through her, "Oh thank you! Thank you!" She said wrapping her arms around his neck and started crying.

"Hey its okay it's not your fault and thank you...thank you for coming into my life." He said softly in her ear.

Angel Island; Forest

A small group of soldiers ran towards a silent, small stealth copter, Topez stared at her friend and her love, she smiled; "I hate that echidna huh? You so full of it Rouge."

Office building Next Day

"I'm telling you Topez, this computer hates me; it never wants to work!" Rouge complained while searching through files on the computer. "I'm sure it does Rouge." Topez said laughing, Rouge let out a sarcastic ha-ha, "First they tell me only one week than you take a vacation, now they tell me two more days…work you stupid thing!"

Topez smirked as she searched for papers through the cabinet "I'm sure Knuckles can hold up for another two days Rouge..."

Rouge turned and looked at a laughing Topez and four other co-workers "Very funny Topez, how did you find out?"

"I was on the island when I saw you two hugging and kissing while we were leaving."

Rouge blushed at what Topez was saying. "So how long have you been seeing him?" Topez asked.

"About a couple of weeks."

"What happened to I hate that echidna?" Topez said reminding her of the past comment she made.

"Shut up…least I can get a man!" Rouge spiked back, Topez rolled her eyes.

Topez walked over to Rouge's computer and turned it off, "Hey! What are you doing?"

Topez smiled "Rouge I'll finish up this report you go on." Rouge smiled back.

"Thanks Topez, you're a true friend." She got all her stuff and left to find her favorite echidna.

Angel Island

Knuckles was in Angel Forest fighting a wolf. With a couple of punches it die, he had few slashes on him; they were bleeding heavily.

"I need to wash up this blood before I black out from blood loss." He walked to the lake. He jumped in and washed and walked back to the shrine and fell asleep.

The sky blue echidna look down on him. "Knuckles she will be the cause of your death!"

"Why does it matter? I'm going to die any way someday." Knuckles frowned.

"But there must be a sensible guardian until that time comes!" The echidna said.

Knuckles yelled at him "What happens after I die! Huh? What happened then?"

"That is up to the Ancient One." The echidna said quietly, "Who is that?"

"He is the first guardian of the emerald, he died for the emerald! Every guardian must put aside their own needs to protect this emerald! Knuckles I've warned you for the last time, leave this thief and no harm will come to her!"

"No! I wont! I'll take you down if I have to! No! No!"

Rouge was shaking Knuckles "Knuckles! Knuckles are you okay?"

"What?" He said waking up, "You were dreaming...what did you keep yelling no at?"

"(Sighs) I don't know what these dreams mean…" Knuckles continued on about his nightmares were she ends up dying and about the sky blue echidna who keeps haunting his dreams.

After all was said the first thing she said was "Do you think that's actually going to happen to us?" He sighed "I don't know I-I just don't know." She hugged him trying to comfort him but he just looked up at the sky and thought

'Why does this have to happen to me? Why can't I just live out a normal life with someone I love?' He thought as he put his arm around Rouge pulling her closer to him.

Angel Forest

"That's it, no more chances guardian…"

Well that's another reposted chap! I'm pea-ce out!
