(I don't own Sonic or Sega)
It had been about three days after the explosion as Sonic and Tails were still trying to figure out what to do. in the meantime Knuckles and Rouge were talking in the living room.
"I wish I could go out there and find out what caused all of this and beat them to the ground!" Knuckles yelled with an angry look on his face. "Well believe me I know you do, but if you go out there who knows what will happen to you." Rouge said looking at Knuckles with a straight face. "I know but agh!" Knuckles slammed his fist down on the arm of the couch causing it to break a little. "Way to go Knucklehead." Rouge said rolling her eyes. "Hey, it was an accident." Knuckles yelled as he was standing up. "Sure it was." Rouge said sarcastically as she stood up. Knuckles was furious so he got up in Rouge's face and started to yell until he accidently tripped and fell on top of her. "Ow, that's no way to treat a lady." Rouge yelled. Knuckles just stared at rouge for a minute in her eyes until he realized what he was doing and got off of her. "S-sorry." Knuckles apologized as he started to blush. "I didn't mean to get so mad, how about I make it up to you?" Rouge just stared at knuckles for minute, she could tell that this time he was being serious. "How so?" "Well we could go watch a movie in the guest room, Tails has a lot of sci-fi movies." Rouge just stood there for a minute until she figured out what he was asking. "Are you asking me on a date?" "W-what?" "No!" Knuckles yelled looking embarrassed. "I just told you, I want to make it up to you for acting like a jerk. "Rouge just giggled a little at Knuckles who looked like he was about to pass out from embarrassment. "Ok then let's go."
Some time had passed as Knuckles and Rouge were sitting on the bed watching the movie. "Well you could tell where Tails gets his ideas from." Rouge said while still watching the movie. "Yeah he is one special guy." Knuckles said. Time slowly passed and as it got later Rouge started to get more tired. "Yawn, how long is this movie?" Rouge asked looking at Knuckles. "I'm not sure." Knuckles replied. "Well i'm tired." Rouge said as she started to rest her head on Knuckles's shoulder. "Well I guess we should get to bed." Knuckles said as he was turning off the tv. "Well i'll see you in the morning." Knuckles said as he was getting out of bed. "Wait!" Rouge shouted as Knuckles turned around. "You can stay in here with me if you want." Knuckles froze at what she had just said. "She wants me to sleep with her?" Knuckles thought to himself, as he felt hotter and hotter by the minute. "Well you don't have to if you don't want to." Rouge said still half asleep. "N-no, it's fine." Knuckles said as he slowly got in the bed. "Well goodnight Rouge." Knuckles said still embarrassed. "Goodnight Knucklehead." Rouge said as she slowly kissed him on the cheek. Knuckles was in shock from what had just happened. "She just kissed me!" Knuckles thought to himself. "But I thought she didn't." Knuckles just stopped for a minute to calm down as his heart was beating really fast. "Maybe she does like me." "I mean she is pretty.'" Rouge slowly turned her body to Knuckles as she was still asleep. "Maybe I should give her a chance." Knuckles thought as he slowly kissed her back. "Goodnight I will see you in the morning." Knuckles then saw a smile on Rouge's face. "I wonder if she felt that?" Knuckles said quietly. "I did Knucklehead." Rouge replied who was almost asleep.
The next morning They woke up and didn't say anything for a moment until Rouge broke the silence. "Uh about last night." Rouge said looking embarrassed. "It's ok." Knuckles said as he hugged Rouge. "You know you can drive me crazy, but you're still cute." Knuckles said as he pulled away from the hug. They both just smiled at each other as they went to go get breakfast. "Good morning you two." Amy said as she was making leftover breakfast. "You're up early." "Yeah we just had a nice night." Knuckles said looking at Rouge. "I see well in that case i'll make you a heart shaped pancake." Amy joked. Knuckles just laughed and Rouge just sat at the table quietly. "Wow they sure got to liking each other quickly." Amy thought to herself. "This at least gives me hope for asking Sonic how he feels about me."
