CHAPTER TWO

ARRIVING

When we arrived, Rouge was the first to greet us. ''I'm so glad you could make!'' she said, hugging me as I got out of the car. "well why would I miss a chance to hang out with my friends?" I said as I walked around to the back of the car. "I see you're wearing that shirt I got you. I told you it would go nicely with those shorts." Rouge said as she gestured towards my outfit. Rouge was wearing a black strapless dress that came mid thigh with a pair of black pumps. While Rouge and I were deep in conversation Sonic cut in. "Hey, where's Knuckles?" He obviously needed some guy time. "He's in the car" she said, crossing her arms, a hint of anger in her voice. Sonic and I looked at eachother. I sighed then said, "what did he do this time?" Rouge grinned. "you're gonna like this one. It started back at my house..."

*FLASHBACK*

"ROUGE HURRY UP!" Knuckles yelled up the stairs. "KNUCKLES, IF YOU TELL ME TO HURRY UP ONE MORE TIME I'M GONNA COME DOWN THERE!" Rouge yelled in reply to the impatient red echidna downstairs. "WELL AFTER TWO HOURS OF YOU JUST PUTTING ON MAKE-UP I THINK I HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL YOU TO HURRY UP!" Knuckles yelled back at the albino bat upstairs. "KNUCKLES, SHUT UP!" "YOU HURRY UP!" He yelled in reply. Before, it seemed like, Knuckles could blink, he was sliding across the marble floor. ''told ya not to tell me to hurry up again" Rouge said, standing over the unconcious echidna.

Rouge clapped twice. A brown fox with slicked back hair in a tuxedo entered the room. "yes madam Rouge?" he had a french accent. "Monze, please take Knuckles to my car." she said heading up the stairs. "which one madam Rouge" Monze said dragging Knuckles by his arms towards the garage. "the red Ferrari"

*FLASHBACK END*

"You're right. I did like that one." I said. Rouge shrugged her shoulders. "told ya" "AHHHHHHHHHHH! IT'S ON ME! SOMETHING'S ON ME! I CAN'T REACH IT! AHHHHHHHHH! SOMEONE HELP ME! AHHHHHH!" ''Sonic, stop prancing around so I can look!'' I shouted at Sonic. He still didn't stop. ' I didn't wanna have to do this, Sonic', I thought to myself. I pulled out my piko-piko hammer, reared back, closed my eyes, held my breath, and let the hammer fall downwards. I opened my eyes after I heard a THONK to see Sonic on the ground. I bent down beside him and rolled him over to see a familiar blue and yellow chao clinging to his back. ''Chao! Chao!'' the little chao jumped off Sonic's back and flew towards me. "Hey Cheese!'' I said, lightly hugging him.

"Where's Cream and Tails?'', I asked him. "Hey guys!'' I turned to see a yellow-orange fox with two tails and a cinnamin colored rabbit walking towards us. "Hey Tails! Hi Cream!" I said waving towards the couple. ''Hi Amy!'' Cream said hugging me. She was weating a red tank with a pair of cut off jeans and gold glitter covered Toms. '' Is Sonic OK?'' Cream asked, peering around me. I yelped in surprise, because i forgot what had happened 5 minutes ago. I hurried over to Sonic's side and helped him up. "Where's Knuckles?'' Tails asked, looking around. ''He's in the car.'' Rouge replied, gestering towards the red Ferrari parked in the reserved parking space to their left. Tails sighed and shook his head. ''What'd he do this time?'' He asked. "I'll tell you in a minute. But, first, let's go inside!'' Rouge said, starting across the parking lot towards the lit up building. Sonic and I followed, arm-in-arm. Tails and Cream followed, hand-in-hand, and Cheese sat, perched, on Tail's head.
