A lime green hedgehog paced back and forth in the thick jungles on angel island. He pushed some strands of hair away from his eyes and looked at the dark blue hedgehog who seem to be enjoying himself by playing in the mud. The hedgehog laughed to himself.

"I got to admit, he is pretty cute." John said as he looked ahead.

A green light shown in the distance. John picked up Flame and walked towards it. John walked into an opening, the grass as green as well grass. A gray stone shrine stood next to a waterfall. White steps lead up to a giant green emerald. Knuckles sat there, leaning against the massive emerald. John walked up the steps with Flame in his arms. He looked at Knuckles, who stood up and crossed his arm.

"Oh look its a Lime with quills" Knuckles joked, his expression changing.

"Eh heh heh heh" John said sarcastically as he put Flame down. "Look...don't ask how it happened, I don't even know." John informed Knuckles as he looked at Flame who was sitting in front of the Master Emerald, looking like he was protecting it. "Anyways Flame got turned into a toddler and I think he's hungry."

Knuckles looked from Flame to John, from John to Flame, and Flame to John. He let out a sigh and looked at John. "I don't have much" Knuckle said as he hit a button, raising a platform with foods of different kinds. "I mean, I have cantaloupes, banana's and melons."

John started recalling the Austin powers scene recalling the satellite the looked like a pair of melons. John chucked to himself as he picked up a melon and handed it to Flame. The dark blue hedgehog toddler picked it up and started to bite on the hard outer shell. Knuckles let out a small laugh and grabbed the melon. He cracked it open and gave a half to Flame. Flame grabbed the half and dug out a piece of the yellow inside. John watched Flame just in case. He let out a sigh and turned to Knuckles

"Thanks Knux's I owes you one" John said as he picked Flame up. "Ok well I have to get going, Ruby is on her way to my house." With that being said, John rushed over to his house in the green hill zone.

Two hours later

John finally stopped at his house only to see ruby was standing there in jeans and a short sleeve pink shirt. She had always reminded him of Amy, but Ruby always wore green eyeliner.

"Took you long enough" Ruby said as he took Flame and held him. "So who is this?" Ruby asked as she pulled a stuffed bear out of her purse and gave it to Flame. Flame grabbed the bear and hugged it.

John though wildly, he couldn't tell ruby that the toddler was her future husband. "Uh... this is...Dylan" John said, faking a smile "he my...son..." He said at the last moment

Ruby tilted her head and laughed. "So you and Kate got married? Awwwww how cute." Ruby said, smiling at John wondering when they had the wedding "well, i guess i better start, oh and don't worry about pay, ill work for free." With that said, Ruby shook Johns hand and went inside John's house.

John just sighed and looked at his watch. His eyes widened as he realized his that his date was in 10 minutes. Flame can wait one day John though to himself as he ran off to Chez la France

Ok that was chapter 2, R & R please thank you
