Phew! Sorry I hadn't updated as fast as I thought I would! I was on a weekend vacation! Anyways, ENJOY!

Feedback to everyone who reviewed:

Thanks guys! But unfortunately I can't take the information that could help my stories, but I'm on a role here! The whole story is in my head, maybe even word for word, so…sorry! But I'll try to make this story come out good! Here's a clue:

KnuxRouge (DUH!)

ShadAmySon (Hmm…)

TaiReam (Not very important, but just a background couple)

THANKS!

Sonic and bruised up, yet full of lipstick kisses: Hey Amy! Remember this? (Clears throat and speaks evilly)

"I'm Shadow... the Hedgehog. I was created to bring order and justice to the humans. With the power of these Emeralds, I'm going to destroy this damn planet! This is WHO I AM! (Laughs maniacally)"

Amy: Hahaha! Nice!

Shadow: SONIC!

Sonic: Whoops! Gotta run!

Chapter 3: Immaturity and Transformation: Sonic's POV

'Oh SHIT! Just when I need him! Where the HELL is Knuckles!' I thought harshly. I looked back and almost immediately looked forward once again, but ran twice the speed. 'Amy is still following me!' I was thinking desperately. 'SHIT! She's actually getting on me!' "KNUCKLES!" I shrieked as loud as I could into the eerie night sky, just hoping that Knuckles could here my scream, but on an island this huge, he could be anywhere!

I looked back again seeing a silhouette of a pink hedgehog, not far. "SONIKU! COME 'ER!" She sung loudly those few words. I clasped my gloved hands over my ears trying to get rid of that obnoxious voice, but still kept my eyes forward to where I was running and looking around encase I saw Knuc—

I halted in my steps and sprung to the right. I had almost forgotten about his clearing where he would rest. 'Heh. He doesn't even know that I know about it!' I smirked and ran even faster, dodging branches and roots.

As I neared the clearing I yelled again, knowing that he was sure to be there, "Hey Knux! I need you to—" Sonic stopped suddenly and…

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Knuckles POV

"What the hell is that horrid screaming?" I whispered to Rouge and let go of her. "Probably some girl getting raped," but she winced because her sensitive ears were acting up. "Where were we Knux?" she took my hands again and wrapped my arms around her again, but she looked around cautiously. I blushed, but then it hit me. Sonic.

"SHIT! IT'S SONIC!" Jolting right up, I looked back and was just in time to see Sonic fall on the grass, unconscious.

"What the hell was all that about? Talk about immaturity!" I heard Rouge complain behind my back.

"Damn, that hedgehog needs balls." I responded not looking at here, but still staring at the unconscious hedgehog.

"Well, Knuckie? Aren't you going to take the poor hedgie?" She cooed sarcastically.

"Eh. Just leave him there…or on second thought…" I looked over my shoulder and smirked evilly. And so did Rouge.

Sonic lay still unconscious in the shallow pool of the waterfall still in the clearing. Knuckles and Rouge were still in the same position at the same spot, but they were just talking about their past adventures, even though they were still rivals. They were just friends still, but they never thought that their kind of relationship could get to this. Just then the still unknown couple heard a high-pitched yell.

"SONIKU!" Amy shrieked making the whole forest shiver and the sleeping birds fly away from their perch.

"Aw man! Sonic must have brought Amy here!" Knuckles groaned in annoyance.

Amy came skipping into the clearing with a seductive pose like she were a model, but when she saw she couldn't find Sonic (not knowing that he was half-way under the water), she pouted and turned to Knuckles and Rouge. "Hey you guys seen Sonic?"

Like as if it was on cue, Sonic jolted right up from his strange position in the water, but he didn't know the liquid was there, but he still screamed.

"WAH! Who goes there?"

"SONIKU!"

"Aw geez, Amy! Go away!"

"No!"

"Please Amy? I'm begging you!" Sonic was literally on his knees, begging with his already large puppy eyes, or hedgie eyes.

"Oh…okay… on one condition!"

"Crap…"Sonic whispered hoarsely to himself.

"Take me out on a date, Soniku!"

"No." Sonic said stern, cold, and harsh…

"Wait did you say?" Amy took out her Piko Piko hammer and waved it threatening in Sonic's face.

"I said NO! Haven't you realized! I have NEVER been on a date with you! Or NEVER will! So if you can't get me to do just that, you probably can't make me do anything else! So just GO AWAY! And be different for once!"

Sonic was already standing up, his angry face leveled at Amy's.

But for once Amy didn't break down crying. Rouge and Knuckles were just standing there baffled at Sonic's reply. Amy's face softened a bit, but she seemed to get over it and turned her expression into the opposite.

"Okay then! FINE! I will be different!" And with that Amy stomped away through the forest leaving Sonic still standing in the water.

"Hey… was I crying or am I in…WATER! KNUCKLEHEAD!" But Knuckles and Rouge had run off in a different direction than Amy's.

Sonic's POV

'Is it just me, or is this water making me feel guilty? Aw shit. I must've done it this time. In fact I'm thinking about her more than the water…' I trudged out slowly and gloomily out of the shallow pool actually not caring if I was in water, but I just sat down on the soft grass leaning back on a large rock still soaking wet, thinking… 'Hey, I'm actually thinking! Hmm, still that's not gonna make an excuse for not making an apology. Ah well, she'll probably just come crawling back to me, waiting for another "no". But she has to understand...' With that I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Knuckles POV

Rouge and I ran back to the shrine to avoid Sonic's little mishap.

"Poor Amy…" I heard Rouge whisper, head down. I stood by her side and patted her back.

"Poor Rouge…" I joked, even though there really was nothing poor about her.

"Hey…what's that supposed to mean?" She glared at me, but she laughed, changing the mood of the evening. She opened her eyes and didn't see me hiding behind the emerald putting on what seemed to be clones of Rouge outfit that appeared out of nowhere, maybe from that invisible space Amy takes her Piko Piko hammer from.

I stepped out, knowing that this joke will surely bring her over the rim.

"Hey Rouge," I said seductively and tried to sound like Rouge.

Rouge turned around, blinked twice, and glared even darker than before at me, but I continued to bring her over the hedge.

"Oh, I'm Rouge! Love me, Knux! Oh YES! LOVE ME!" I continued the seductive woman tone and snickered when I saw her blowing off steam and taking slow steps towards me.

Please do me a favor and review! Thanks! Oh yeah, Shadow's coming up!
