Hey guys. I'm glad everyone is enjoying the story so far. Sorry for the long wait without an update. I hadn't had much time for this story, and once I finally got this chapter done, it wouldn't let me upload it. Well, here's chapter 3.
Rouge continued down her street when she realized, that she needed to talk to someone.
"Maybe Amys home," She said to herself. The walk to Amy's house was a peaceful one. She didn't think about Knuckles one bit. But once she got to Amy's he popped right back into her mind.
"Oh Rouge, what a pleasant surprise. Please, come in," Amy said to her. She could sense that something was wrong.
"Amy, I need to talk to someone, and you are my closest girlfriend," Rouge said.
"Well, whatever it is, I'm all ears," Amy told her.
"Alright, well I was going to try to "steal" the Master Emerald from Knuckles," She started.
"Yes..." Amy said, waiting for her to go on.
"And when I got there, he was talking with Wave,"
"What's so bad about that?" Amy asked, even though she found it a little strange Knuckles would be able to have an actual conversation with her.
"Well, than he...kissed her. And she kissed him back," Rouge finished.
"He kissed her! I thought Knuckles had more taste than that!" Amy hollered in disgust.
"Me too," Rouge said.
"Well, I don't understand why you are so upset about it," Amy told her.
"Alright Amy, I'm going to tell you something that nobody knows, not even Shadow," Rouge started.
"I'm listening," Amy said. She loved gossip.
"Well...the truth is...I, am in love with Knuckles," Rouge said quietly.
"I knew it!" Amy yelled. "I always saw something between you two!"
"Alright, alright. Just don't go around telling people!" Rouge said to her.
"Hehe, don't worry. So, what are you going to do?" Amy asked her.
"I don't know! I came to see if you had any ideas," She answered.
"Well...I have an idea, if your willing to go for it," Amy responded.
"I'm listening..." Rouge said, her ears perking up.
Knuckles was continuing to guard the emerald, when he heard the cries of someone. He got up, and saw Wave running towards him, tears in her eyes.
"Wave, what's wrong?" Knuckles asked.
"I told Jet and Storm that I couldn't get the emerald, and they..." She started.
"They...?" Knuckles asked.
"They beat me…" She said quietly.
"They beat you!" Knuckles exclaimed. "I'm going to make them pay for this!" He started walking away.
"No! It's not like it's the first time they have done it, and besides, if they know where I ran away to, they will come searching for me," Wave said, wiping her eyes.
"They have done this before! I can't let them get away with this!" Knuckles yelled.
"Please Knuckles… For me, just let it go…" She said.
"Fine…" He wouldn't let it go, he would get them back, one day. "So, why did you come here?"
"Well, don't seem to happy to see me, I thought you told me to come here whenever I needed to," Wave said.
"Uh, I didn't mean it like that!" Knuckles said quickly. Even though at one point the considered her an enemy, he couldn't help but feeling attracted to her.
"I know," She said laughing a bit. "So, it's alright if I crash here for a bit?"
"Of course," He answered.
"Thanks, but I'm going to have to sneak back into their air base to gather a few belongings," She said.
"I'm not letting you go alone," Knuckles said sternly.
"Don't worry, I'm pretty stealthy when I need to be, they won't even know I'm there," She told him.
"I don't know…" He said pondering.
"Don't worry," She said, kissing him softly on his lips.
Well, there's chapter 3. Alittle short, but the next chapter will hopfully be a little longer. Next update should be up within a few days. REVIEW!
