A Rose's Revenge – Chapter 6
It's been a whole week since Cream joined the team. Day by day Sonic is getting more stressed and worried, taking longer runs by the day. Amy's having the time of her life; Diamond however is getting slightly annoyed at the lack of current missions for a chaos emeralds.
"ANY luck AT ALL yet Lilly!" She asked the white fox in distress.
"No... I can't even hack though this system! The guy who created it must be a freaking genius!" Lilly exclaimed looking impressed.
"I don't care if he's the re-incarnation of …of…Of that smart guy with grey hair! Get though the system!" Diamond hissed at Lilly before walking out the room. Lilly sighed and began typing faster.
Amy giggled tying Cream's long ears with ribbon each, Cream swung her short legs lazily smiling after the big white ribbons where swaying softly with her ears. Cheese on the dressing table in front of the rabbit.
"They look lovely Amy! Thanks!" Her high voice was not as high as it had been, but a lot high than usual nevertheless. Amy smiled squeezing the rabbit's arm affectionately. Cheese flew up happily with a soft 'Chao!'
"S'ok Cream, You look really nice!" Amy smiled at the small rabbit and the Chao, than however, that kind voice of Cream asked a rather... embarrassing question.
"Amy? Do you like Mr. Shadow?" Amy's cheeks flushed red sitting beside the rabbit.
"W-What do you mean Cream?" Her voice was slightly higher than usual. Cheese smiles flying down onto the hedgehog's head and sitting there comfortably.
"Well, you always seem happy when you're speaking to him... and he smiles a lot when you're around! I was just wondering if you liked him!" Cream beamed at the pink hedgehog and her Chao.
"Oh!" Amy exclaimed rather flustered. "Well, I don't really know. I do but... I'm not sure. I don't want the whole, 'Sonic Situation' Happening all over again cream... But I do really like him..." Her cheeks now blended in with her fur, The little blue cheese standing out like a sore thumb.
"But Mr. Shadow is really nice!" The small rabbit smiled widely. "He's been taking care of me while I'm here! Like I got lost the other day! And he took me back here! I don't think he'll do what Mr. Sonic did… That wasn't very nice…"
"No Cream... It wasn't nice was it?" Amy sighed, gazing thoughtfully out the window. Cheese's soft 'Chao!'s echoing around the room.

Rouge gazed out a window while she pulled on her cat suit. It was midnight and she was getting annoyed with waiting for that master emerald. After doing up the zip, she opening the door to her balcony looked around for a minute. Before she spread her wings and swooped towards Angel Island.
As she approached she spotted Knuckles leaning against the emerald snoring. Flinging a hand to her mouth to muffle her giggles, she landed gracefully behind the Emerald and the snoring Knuckles. She placed a finger on her chin, pondering to how she would be able to take it without Knuckles noticing.
After 5 minutes of thinking and listening to the Echidna's snores she came up with the best idea she could. Take the emerald and replace it with an ordinary rock. Who would know? It was that or snatching the emerald and making a run for it. So carefully heaving up a rock about the size of the emerald she got ready.
Biting her lip as small beads of sweat rolled down her face, with one breath and a quick motion she took the emerald and put the rock in its place. She closed her eyes listening. She heard Knuckles stir before turning around and beginning to snore again. A huge smile lit up Rouge's face. She grabbed the emerald firmly and took off.
However,
Knuckles sat bolt up right as his connection with the emerald burned... hurting him telling him it was in trouble. He turned and saw the rock.
"Wha-?" Soon however he spotted the bat. "ROUGE! COME HERE BATGIRL!" her dived up and grabbed her leg.
"Ah! Get off me Echidna!" She hissed down at him, but he was heavy and soon she found her self on the ground. "Why couldn't you just keep on snoring!" She spat at him glaring.
"I couldn't with you taking my emerald!" He returned her glare. They stood there for a moment glaring at each other. Suddenly Rouge had kicked Knuckles, Knuckles being flung back a few meters she was about to take off when something pulled her back down and flung her aside.
"No!" She cried as the Emerald parted from her grip and she hit a tree. Knuckles grabbed the emerald, shrunk it, putting it safely in his glove, As usual. He glared at her.
"Will you ever learn Batgirl!"
She looked up at him about to shout a smart comment back, when she winced. Knuckles laughed.
"Don't expect me to fall for that one again!"
Rouge flung her hand to her side, tears where brimming in her eyes, Knuckles expression softened. "Rouge?"
She shook her head, wincing again and letting a tear fall. "Leave me alone Echidna!" She stood up, pain shooting though her body before she collapsed again.
"Rouge!" Knuckles ran up to her and supported her in his arm, holding her bridal style. Rouge looked away from him, frowning.
"I'm fine."
"You don't look like that to me." His face was of concern. "You have a broken rib, I threw you to hard I-"
"I don't need your help Echidna." Rouge stated, still looking away from him. Ignoring the pain.
"It doesn't seem like that from this angle... Rouge, it was my fault, can I at least fix it?"
Her eyes widened she turned her gaze towards him. Her face had softened, giving him a questioning look. "Why are you being so nice?"
He looked away from her puzzled face. "You're not my enemy Rouge. You're my rival." Rouge blinked not sure of what to make from this comment.
"Look, I'm fine…" She tried to sit up an get out of his grip when she let out a groan of pain and collapsing into Knuckles' arms, the echidna's eyes widened. Damn, thought Rouge. Who would have thought a simple broken rib could cause this much pain?
"I think you need the hospital." Knuckles' looked very worried. Anyone who was to walk upon this scene at that moment would have never guessed they were fighting only moments ago. Rouge's eyes widened.
"No go." Knuckles raised a eyebrow.
"What?"
"No go. Me no go. No hospital." Her eyes we're now the size of basket balls. (Well… not really but you get the point.) Knuckles looked at her like she was an alien who had just whipped out a gun and said she was going to kill everyone.
"What's gotten into you Rouge?"
Rouge gulped. "I HATE hospitals! The smell and the whiteness where everyone stares. Sick people everywhere and the smell of old people…"
Knuckles burst into a fit of laughter.

Amy woke up at the crack of dawn turning lazily to the clock. She moaned getting up and rubbed her eyes. She couldn't sleep, but looking in front of her she soon found out why. She eeped pulling the covers up more out of instinct.
The dark hedgehog grinned laughing softly. Leaning coolly against her window he smiled at her. "You're like an angel when you're asleep Amy."
Amy's eyes widened blushing madly not knowing how to reply to the comment. She just forced a smile and nodded earning another small laugh from Shadow. "C'mon Amy. Diamond's having a fit. Rouge is missing. Not hard to think of where she is though is it?" He rolled his eyes smirking and leaving the room.
Amy moaned collapsing back her head on the pillow staring at the ceiling. What does Rouge think she's doing? I've bet they've caught her….. She's most likely sitting cross legged on a wooden chair with Sonic shining a light in her eye… Amy's face lit up with a smile laughing softly, she sat up getting out of the bed and grabbed a pleated denim skirt and a red off-the-shoulder top and a random pair of white flip-flops pulling her hair into a quick plait and walking out the room down towards the lobby where Diamond's cries of rage could be heard.

Rouge frowned at the echidna. The sun was now raised and Knuckles' couldn't get over Rouge's fear of hospitals. Now however she was forced to lie on a bed in his small hut. Knuckles – Still grinning madly from Rouge's hospital-phobia – walked in with a chaos emerald, Rouge's eyes widened again.
"You have another one!"
Knuckles' smile was wiped straight off his face. "Yeah, but it's to help heal you not for you to steal Rouge."
Rouge frowned. "The chaos emerald can heal?"
"It's power can help you heal. It speeds the process of healing up… But you have to harness energy from the Master Emerald first..."
Rouge nodded. "Huh, never knew that." She watched as the echidna because the run the emerald just above her, it began to shine whisps of light dissolving into her. It was a fantastic feeling. It was like a refreshing drink after a hot day. Knuckles' voice broke the silence.
"Why do you want the Master Emerald so much Rouge?"
Rouge closed her eyes, she didn't expect a question like that.
"Because every jewel in this world belongs to me."
"Is that the only reason?"
Rouge opened her eyes looking into Knuckles fantastic violet ones, Knuckles looking straight back into Rouge's blue ones.
"No." She admitted.
"Then what's the other reason?"
"There's two. One is a long boring tale that will sound like something you hear in a history class. The second one is a simply short explanation that will excite, please and/or horrify you." Knuckles looked at her.
"Give me the first one."
She shook her head. "I never listened in history class." Knuckles laughed.
"The second?"
"You."
