Someone Say Vacation!

Chapter 1: Disaster Already?

Sonic, Amy, Shadow, Tails, Cream, Espio, Vector, Vanilla, Charmy and Rouge were all at the airport. They had all won free tickets for one full week of vacation to and island in the Bahamas. They were still waiting for one more person.

"Man, where is Knuckles? He's gonna make us miss our flight!" Sonic yelled; tapping his foot.

"Maybe he decided not to come." Vector said.

"Yeah, he wasn't too thrilled about going in the first place." Tails piped up.

"Good, this trip will be better without him anyways…" Rouge muttered.

Once everyone turned their attention away from her, she hung her head. She was really excited about this trip for one reason and one reason only. That reason was that Knuckles was going and she'd be able to hang out with him more. And maybe even tell him how she feels… But if he wasn't coming, this trip wouldn't be as enjoyable for her.

"Ms. Rouge? Are you okay?" Cream asked.

Rouge looked at Cream and smiled. "I'm fine Cream."

"Good. We're going on vacation you can't be sad!" Cream smiled.

Once Cream was out of earshot, she whispered, "I'd be happier if Knuckles was coming."

"Oh Sonikku, this vacation is going to be soooo romantic!" Amy sighed; clinging to Sonic's arm.

"Lord help me…" Sonic sighed.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Amy yelled; taking out her hammer.

Sonic ran behind Shadow. "Nothing!"

Shadow rolled his eyes before noticing a dot of red moving towards them at a very slow pace.

"Here comes Knuckles." Shadow said.

Rouge wanted to jump with joy, but she couldn't let the others know how she felt towards him. She had to act the opposite. Once Knuckles walked up to the group, Rouge made her usual challenging comment.

"Why does it seem this vacation just got worse?" She asked.

Knuckles turned to her and glared at her. "I didn't want to come, but Tikal and Chaos practically pushed me off Angel Island. And believe me I'm not happy you're here either."

Rouge felt hurt at that, but the stronger part of her told her he may be saying that just to cover up his true feelings as well.

"Guys, before we get into a big fight, let's just board the plane, alright?" Sonic asked; a sweat drop on his forehead.

Knuckles tore his glare off Rouge and stormed down the jet way. Everyone followed with Rouge in the very back, her mind racing with thoughts.

"What if Knuckles really doesn't like me and I'd just make a fool of myself if I told him? No, he has to like me on some level; he's always at my side the minute I get hurt. Plus, he saved me from falling into that pit of lava back on the ARK. But, his comments and remarks seem so real… The way he glares at me… it just gives me the thought he only cares for me because he's a hero."

"Ma'am? Will you be boarding the plane?" the flight attendant asked.

Rouge was jolted out of her thoughts. "Uh, yeah." Rouge walked on board the plane. She walked to first class where the rest of the crew was and saw they were still finding their seats and getting settled.

"Yay! I get to sit with Sonic!" Amy squealed.

"Whoopee, I get to sit next to faker…" Shadow sighed.

"Well, Vector, it looks like I'm sitting next to you and Charmy." Vanilla smiled.

Vector looked very pleased while Charmy stuck his tongue out in a 'that's gross' way. Tails and Cream sat next to each other very quietly, Cream placing Cheese in the seat next to the aisle. Rouge looked down at her ticket. E2. She looked around and smiled a bit when she saw that was the seat next to Knuckles. She'd have to keep her act up though.

Knuckles had his eyes closed, but they opened when he felt a presence. He looked to the left of him and saw Rouge standing in front of the aisle.

"What do you want?" Knuckles spat.

"May I sit here?" Rouge asked.

She didn't know what made her ask, her ticket said this is where she was supposed to sit. She came to a conclusion that she wanted to see what Knuckles would say.

"Sure, I guess." Knuckles sighed.

Rouge was a bit surprised by his answer. She smiled and sat down next to him. Time to put on her seductive charm. She leaned over and nuzzled Knuckles' arm.

"Thanks Knuckie." She whispered in her seductive voice.

Knuckles blushed crimson and looked down at her as she looked up at him.

"S-sure. Just- don't get used to it. It was a one time thing only." Knuckles then shut his eyes once more.

The plane took off and the minute after it got into the air above 500 feet, Charmy was in the bathroom releasing the contents in his stomach. He stayed in there most of the ride.

Since they were all riding first class, there was a TV in the front of the cabin showing the movie 'Love Actually'. Amy was clinging to Sonic throughout the movie, Tails and Cream didn't really know what to make of it, Espio was asleep the whole time, Cream and Vanilla were watching intently and Vector kept sneaking glances at Vanilla. Knuckles was amazingly watching it, but kept rolling his eyes at the romance parts. Rouge tried to keep her eyes off it in attempt not to say anything to Knuckles that would blow her cover.

Eventually, Rouge figured out that the only way to keep her eyes off the movie was to sleep. She was soon fast asleep. Knuckles rolled his eyes once more before taking his eyes off the movie and turning to look out the window. He turned back when he felt something or someone on his shoulder. Knuckles looked down and saw Rouge had her head on his shoulder.

"R-Rouge? What are you doing?" Knuckles asked.

It took Knuckles a while to realize she was asleep. He made an exasperated sighed and regretted it when Sonic turned around. He grinned.

"Aw, looks like Knuckie finally got a girlfriend!" Sonic joked.

Amy turned around at this and smiled when she saw Rouge's head on Knuckles' shoulder.

"Awwwwwww, that's so SWEET!" Amy practically yelled.

"Guys, stop it!" Knuckles whispered; as not to wake Rouge. He actually enjoyed having her head on his shoulder. But he would never admit that. "She's not my girlfriend! She probably just fell over in her sleep."

This didn't stop Sonic.

"Knuckles and Rouge, sittin' in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love then comes marriage, then comes a little bat-echidna in a baby carriage!" Sonic sang.

Unfortunately, this got everyone's attention it the cabin. Everyone turned to Knuckles and either smiled or laughed at what they saw.

"Great job, Sonic…" Knuckles muttered. "Once we get off this plane, I'm gonna kill you."

"Well, we wouldn't want that now would we?" Sonic asked. He then turned back around.

Amy giggled once more before turning back around herself. Knuckles growled and looked down at Rouge. Half of his body told him to push her off, but the other half enjoyed it. He stared at Rouge.

"I guess she isn't all that bad. She's actually pretty nice if she's not after my emerald. Maybe if I tried being nicer to her, we could get to be friends. But, would she like that? And wouldn't I be putting the Master Emerald in danger by doing so? No, I wouldn't… because she said she didn't want jewels anymore. She said she had something better. What did she mean by that?" Knuckles thought.

His thoughts were interrupted as Rouge huddled closer to Knuckles and draped and arm over his chest. Knuckles blushed and almost pushed her off him when his mind caught him.

"You fool, what are you doing?"

"She's causing me so much trouble. My friends think she's my girlfriend." Knuckles whispered.

"Isn't she?"

"No!" a harsh whisper.

"Are you sure? Then why haven't you pushed her off you yet?"

"It's because you keep stopping me!"

"You can ignore me."

Knuckles sighed. He stole another glance at Rouge saw she now had a peaceful smile spread across her face. Her smile was so peaceful, so pure; Knuckles knew he couldn't push her off him. He sighed once more before gently wrapping an arm around her and laying his head against the window and falling asleep as well.

Sonic turned back around to see what Knuckles was doing and did his best to hold back a laugh. He poked Amy and she turned around too.

"Aren't they so cute together?" Amy asked.

"Yeah they are. I always knew Knux had something for her. I didn't know it was this advanced though." Sonic grinned.

"I wish I could save this moment and use it as proof when they say they hate each other." Amy sighed.

"I'll handle that." Sonic grinned.

He reached over Amy to the aisle across her and him and poked Tails.

"Tails, can I borrow your camera?"

Tails nodded sleepily and handed it to him. Sonic leaned back over and Amy giggled knowing what he was going to do. Sonic took three pictures. One of the two of them with their arms around each other, one of the smile on Rouge's face and one of Knuckles' arm wrapped around her. He snickered as he turned back around.

"Pure gold." Sonic smiled; kissing the camera.

Amy grabbed his arm. "You're so sneaky, Sonic."

Amazingly, Sonic didn't push Amy off him. Sonic decided to let Knuckles and Rouge to their peace and turned back around with Amy. The rest of the plane trip went by fairly quiet.

Well, there ya have the first chapter! Does Knuckles have feelings for Rouge? Will Rouge ever admit to anyone what she's hiding? What's Sonic going to do with all the pictures? Find out next time! Reviews and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism are welcome. :)
