Hey everyone. Thank you to everyone who reviewed. I hope you guys are enjoying the story so far. Anyways, here's chapter 4.


"Oh, I get it. So you think I should try to make Knuckles jealous by pretending to fall with some other guy?" Rouge asked Amy.

"Well, that's what I would do. Maybe you should ask Jet. It might tick Wave off a little bit if she sees that your with him," Amy told her.

"Amy, thats such a great idea! I'm off to go find Jet right now, thanks for everything!" Rouge said. They said their goodbyes, and Rouge was off. She was feeling confident now. She really believed that this plan could work. Without giving it so much as a second thought, she took to the sky, in search of the Babylon's plane base.

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

Wave was getting ready to return to the ship also.

"I really don't think it's a good idea that you return," Knuckles told her.

"Don't worry Knuckles, they won't even know that I was there. You can't come with me and help because if they see you, they will know that I ran off and is staying here," Wave told him.

"But-" He started but couldn't get it out, she planted her lips on his and gave him a long kiss.

"If anything does happen to me, just know that I love you," Wave whispered in his ear. His heart stopped. He had never been told that before, by anyone. He blushed and told her one more time to be careful, and soon she was off, flying away on her extreme gear.

"I think...I love you too," he said, smiling, as she flew off.

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

Once aboard the ship, Rouge decided to be sneaky. She didn't want to just go waltzing in. She decided to climb around outside of the ship, until she found Jet's office.

"It's gotta be around here somewhere!" She said to herself as she peaked in all of the windows.

"Hey boss, Wave is back!" Storm yelled. Rouge heard it come from the next window, she peaked her head in to see all 3 of the birds. She stayed outside the window, eavesdropping on what they were saying.

"How did it go Wave?" Jet asked.

"Perfect, that moron echidna really IS gullible. He believed everything, the lie about you guys beating me, my cries! He thinks I'm here gathering things right now!" Wave said to her team.

"Excellent, so there is no way he is onto our little plan?" Jet asked.

"Not a chance, the foll even thinks that I love him! How funny is that!" Wave told them.

"Good, when he leasts expects it, we'll take that emerald," Storm yelled.

"And break his heart!" Jet yelled. The three started laughing together. Rouge just sat outside, not believing what her ears were hearing. She couldn't believe that Wave was playing Knuckles.

"That bitch..." Rouge said to herself. She wasn't sure if she wanted to jump in there now and knock all of their teeth out, or tell Knuckles. She decided to go tell him. Jumping off of the ship, she spread her wings, and took off in the direction of Angel Island. Once there she saw Knuckles, he was looking down at the ground. She started walking up to him slowly.

"What are you doing here Rouge?" Knuckles asked, without even looking up. It sounded like he was expecting her to show up.

"How'd you know it was me?" Rouge asked him.

"Guess your not as sneaky as you thought," Knuckles said smirking. Rouge tried to give out a little smile. "So, you hear to steal the emerald, or harass me about Wave some more?"

"Well actually Knuckles, the reason I'm here is because of Wave. You see..." She started. Just then Wave flew down on her extreme gear.

"Are you alright? Did you get what you needed?" Knuckles asked quickly.

"No, I couldn't get anything. They were waiting for me inside of my room, once I opened it they started chasing me around, finally I just flew off," Wave lied to him. "Oh, why hello Rouge. How are you today?"

'You lying bitch! How could he not see that you are just using him! And don't act fake around me!' Rouge thought to herself. She felt her body fill up with rage. She wanted to smack her across her face. But all she could get out was,

"I'm fine, how are you?"

"I'm fine too," Wave answered. "Now that I am finally away from those two maniacs."

"Well, Rouge, what was it you were saying?" Knuckles asked her.

"Oh, uh, it's nothing. I better get going, I'll see you two later," She said as she started to walk away.

"Visit soon Rouge, we should really hang out more!" Wave yelled to her. Rouge didn't answer, she didn't want to waste the air on the lying, deceiving, thief.

"hmmm," Knuckles thought to himself about what it could have been she wanted to tell him.

"Odd girl, not as social as I thought she would be," Wave said.

"Oh, yeah," Knuckles said, coming back to reality.
