"Come on, higher Kux! Higher! Higher! Hahaha!" Knuckles tossed the giggling blue hedgehog again with ease, Sonic's gloved hands brushed against the palm leaves as he rose in the air. "Can you reach the top yet?" Knuckles yelled, "Almost!" Sonic replied.

They were playing their favorite game," Catch the Little Coconut" the goal was for Knuckles to toss Sonic high enough to touch the top of the trees or the highest coconut with the least amount of tosses. Their record so far was 10 tosses. They were going for 9 this time.

"Ok, how many does that make it?" Knuckles puffed, catching the blue hedgehog, "7. We got two more tosses."

"Alright, here we-"

"Sonic the Hedgehog! Knuckles the Echidna! What on Mobius do you two think you're doing!?" Amy's voice screeched, startling the two. They looked at her like deer's caught in the headlights and feeling like a pair just before getting hit by a speeding car as Amy briskly stomped toward them. Placing her fists on her hips, she glared at the boys in disappointment. "Well?"

"Uhhhh... it's not what it looks like?" Knuckles grinned sheepishly, "So I didn't just catch you two playing that game I've told you repeatedly not to play?"

"Nooooo~." Sonic sang, "Uh, huh." Amy huffed dryly. "You two are so busted. Come on." she took Sonic from Knuckles' arms into hers and firmly grabbed him by the arm, pulling the echidna back to her house. "I've told you and told you not to play that game, but do you listen no. Instead, you go behind my back."

"Come on, Amy..." Knuckles whined, "It's not that big a deal!"

"It is so a big deal!" anger rising. Amy roughly pushes the large echidna onto the couch, as Sonic tried to make himself smaller in her hold. The pink hedgehog was on the tipping point of being mad to furious; beneath that soft girly pink exterior was an active volcano just waiting to erupt. And he was a little too close for comfort to the boiling lava, a.k.a. her pummeling hammer.

"Not only could you hurt Sonic playing that ridiculous game, but you are also setting a bad example going behind my back and lying to me!"

"What do you mean? Sonic's the one who suggested it, don't yell at me. Yell at him!" He argued, pitting the blame on the blue blur. Knuckles wasn't the only one wanting to escape the wrath of Amy's hammer.

"He doesn't know any better, Knuckles. He's just a baby. That's why it's our responsibility to keep him safe and set a good example. Including you." She now looked at the blue hedgehog in her arms, "As for you, mister...you are getting a time out for being a bad boy."

"Are you serious! That's all he gets?! Talk about setting a good example of being soft." he mumbled under his breath.

Sonic's fur rose, feeling the temperature in the room drop as Amy stiffened,

"What did you just say?" she asked quietly. Knuckles shrank into the couch cushions trying to disappear, realizing he had just nailed the last nail in his coffin, "I s-said you were setting a good example on being *gulp* soft?" he squeaked.

Taking in a deep breath and letting it out, Amy calmly placed Sonic in a chair facing the corner. He said a silent prayer thanking Chaos for Knuckles' stupidity and his regression for saving him. Pinning his ears back and making sure to keep his eyes on the corner, Sonic braced himself for what was coming next.

BAM!

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOFT?! Is this soft enough for Ya?!

BAM!

He couldn't help but cringe each time the smack of her piko piko hammer came down; Sonic was grateful he was stuck in the corner and not in Knuckles' place. It was not a pleasant position to be in.

After a few more hits, Amy settled down, feeling the echidna had had enough of his punishment, and got the message. Putting her weapon back in hammerspace, she walked back to Sonic, sitting deathly quiet in the corner, "I don't want to see your diapered butt out of that chair for 10 minutes, got it?" he nodded quickly in submission. "And as for you..." she pointed to a lump of red on the couch, "Make sure he stays there until time is up or else," she emphasized the last part with her fist. Knuckles nodded quickly, as well.

"Good. I'll check back with you in a bit." she chirped, and with that, the pink hedgehog left the two to sulk and think about their behavior.

Knuckles blew out a breath he had been holding and gingerly touched his pecs, hissing when it burned. He was going to be bruising badly tomorrow. Sonic turned his face to his friend emerald eyes filled with sympathy. He had been on the receiving end of Amy's hammer more times than he could possibly count in the past and understood precisely how Knuckles was feeling right now.

Turning his attention away from his tender spots, Knuckles looks up to see Sonic starting at him, "What are you looking at, little trouble maker?" he hissed. "Sorry," he whispered. "Yeah, well, you should be." Knuckles snipped back, crossing his arms, "Snot fair, I got hit while you just sit in the corner."

The hedgehog sheepishly looked aside, "Yeah, I know. But would you really have let Amy hit me while I'm like this?" Knuckles didn't say anything. Slowly a smirk grew on his face, and he chuckled, "No...I guess not. I wouldn't want her to make you cry." Sonic flinched, "Tsk, I-I wouldn't have cried!" he whisper yells. "Yeah, you would be sobbing like the little baby you are about your boo-boos. Then Amy would have hugged and kissed you cause she loooooves her blue baby so much!" Knuckles crooned, clasping his hands and swinging his arms back and forth, holding an imaginary baby all the while Sonic's ears and cheeks burned, turning bright red pouting.

"I wouldn't have cried," he grumbled. Knuckles snickered, pleased with himself for making the blue blur blush. A small smile appears on Sonic's face as the blush fades, happy that his friend was in better spirits now.

He started making funny faces, each more ridiculous than the last; Knuckles burst out laughing, almost roaring his bruising forgotten at the moment.

Suddenly a high-pitched voice rose, silencing them, "You two better be behaving in there!" lips firmly clamped shut. They looked anywhere but at each other for several minutes in silence.

"Hey!" Knuckles whispered; Sonic looked back at his friend curiously, not wanting to get themselves in any more trouble; he mouthed a 'what?' at him. Knuckles pulled the lower lip of his eye down and stuck out his tongue; Sonic put a hand over his mouth and snickered along with his red friend.
