Hey guys, thanks for the reviews again! They really are much appreciated! Anyway, I've put Rouge and Knuckles P.O.V.'s in here this time.
Enjoy then!
I don't own any sonic characters…

Rouge's P.O.V.
I think I've finally came to a conclusion on this situation.
I'm in love with a stupid ass echidna.
No. Not just a stupid ass echidna, but Knuckles the Echidna.
There. I confessed.
I actually only realised it when we were at the table. Just the way we got along. The way we could get along. The way he looked at me and the soft kind of voice he put on when talkin' to me. It made me feel special. It made me feel wanted. Not in a lustful way, for once. In a way that no other guy could give me the same amount of respect and loyalty that he could. And just thinkin' about this makes me feel so happy and able to be myself.
Ugh, I love romance, but I'm not soundin' like my sexy self, am I?
Anyway, after our meals, we did the dishes and relaxed. Everyone else was in the kitchen, except Knuckles. Before he went out the door, I couldn't resist givin' him a wink. Just because I love him doesn't mean I'm not gonna torture him!
So, like the professional spy I am, I sneaked outta the kitchen unnoticed, and visited Knuckles in the livin' room.
I froze in my steps.
My mouth opened slightly with out me even noticing.
There he was, standin' by the window, as if he was watchin' the stars through the glass. But he wasn't. He was deep in thought. But that was the last thing I noticed. What made me freeze was the effect the moon gave him. A pleasant glow had landed on his upper body, makin' him look, might I say, sexier than before.
This stunned me. I've never froze on the spot by a man. It's usually the other way around…
I was gonna go up behind him and scare the livin' day lights outta him, but I somehow knew that he was known to my presence, even though the lights were off, basking the room in total darkness. The only light available in the room was the moon.
He looks so serious, too. His arms crossed along his chest, a frown on his face.
Hmm…
Could I turn that frown upside down?... I'll haveta gambol.
Knuckles P.O.V.
I came into this livin' room to get her outta my head. But will she? Nooooo…
Damn bat. She's all I've been thinkin' about lately.
As soon as I realise I've been thinkin' about her, I try to think of somethin' else. But it always leads back to her.
When I left the kitchen, I took one last glance at her. She had a smirk on her face and a wink to go with it. The same smirk she had when she tortured me on Angel Island. I'll have to be cautious on where she's at now.
I chuckle at the memory of that day. To tell ya the truth, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the chat we had, too. And you wanna know somethin' else? I enjoyed her company.
Sounds crazy comin' from me, I know. But I realised that this was the truth. At the table earlier tonight, we were gettin' along fine. Every thin' went along great, until Tails had to interrupt…
I was brought outta my thoughts. I felt someone else in the room. Don't ask me how I know, 'cause I don't. I just know these things.
I knew it was her anyway. I couldn't hear her voice in the kitchen. I then suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around my chest, also covering my crossed arms. I then felt a head restin' on my shoulder. It was her. I could smell that intoxicatin' perfume she always wore. Channel. I remember her tellin' me it was her favourite perfume.
"You ok?" Yup, it was her. I'd know that voice anywhere.
I then felt her fingers rubbin' the crossed arms, as if comfortin' me. I had to hand it to her; she is good at this stuff.
"Fine." I responded, hopin' to reassure her I am. Wait a minute, reassure her?
"You don't look it." She whispered in my ear. Damn, I really am gettin' to like this a little too much.
I lift my right hand, touchin' her left arm and rubbin' the fur with my thumb, since I don't have any fingers, gently ticklin' her.
She giggles quietly at my actions. I smile to myself, happy that I made her smile. I could really get used to this, for real.
We were rudely interrupted by the sniggerin' we heard at the door, and then the lights flickerin' on, our eyes shuttin' in the process, tryin' to get used to the new source of light.
"Enjoyin' your selves?" Ugh, I know that voice all too well.
"There is a spare room upstairs ya know."
Ugh, gonna kill him, too. When I get my hands on those assholes, I'll-
"Tails! Leave them! They probably want to be left alone!" Heh, love Cream at the worst times. Not that I didn't love her as a friend anyway. I just love her more when she's got good timin'.
"Yeah Tails, they want peace and quiet." The two started sniggerin' again. That is, until Amy came through and hut Sonic and Tails on the back of the heads.
"Ow! Amy! What was that for?" Sonic whines all the time…
"For ruinin' a moment they thought was maybe special! And for bein' idiots! Now get in the kitchen before I get my hammer out!"
At the sound of 'The Hammer', both men were in the kitchen like a bullet. Heh, love Ames when she threatens them like that. But I have to admit, it is sore when you get whacked by that thing…
"Sorry Rouge, Knuckles. They won't be through again for a while." Cream gave us a sympathetic smile.
I chuckle nervously. I did enjoy that little moment we had. Just standin' there in each others company. But it would be awkward if we were left alone again…
"Guys, you can come back through if you want…" I mentioned. I really didn't want it to feel awkward after a night that's gone good so far…
Rouge was just standin' beside me, a small smile on her lips. Outta the corner of my eye, I saw her glance at me a few times.
I then saw Sonic and Tails pop their heads outta the kitchen door, lookin' almost terrified. Heh, serves them right!
"Is it safe?"
"Yes, Sonic. It's safe." Rouge chuckled. I had to steal a glance at her. I couldn't resist…
Tails and Sonic then reappeared in the livin' room. Sonic must be pretty brave to stand beside Amy after her threat.
I observed him a little. He kept glancin' at Amy. She looked a little angry.
"Um, Amy? You're not mad at me are ya?" He looked almost hopeful at her. I had to snigger. If it was one thing that got to Sonic, it was Amy bein' mad at him for a couple minutes. He hated it.
"Depends." She responded, lookin' at her nails, almost uninterested. Almost.
"Aw, c'mon Ames. I didn't mean it. I couldn't resist doin' it. You know how I am."
She finally sighed, respondin, "I know… Next time ya do that, my threats will be carried out."
He just chuckled and cuddled her.
That's one of the weirdest changes that's happened through the years. Sonic and Amy bein' more close. He doesn't mind huggin' her or goin' out for the day with her. Heh, it's obvious he likes her. But every time we come upon the subject, he doesn't answer. He's even gave her a peck on the lips a couple times. Amy doesn't seem to go crazy 'bout it though. Great for us. We don't have to stand a night where she runs around crazy talkin' about how Sonic kissed her.

Everyone was on the sofas, just chillin' in each others company.
Everythin' was goin' smoothly. That is, until Rouge brought up a subject I did not want to discuss infront of the others.
"So Knuckles, you gonna tell me who this girl is that your crushin' on, or will I force it outta you?"
Everyone suddenly stopped chattin' and looked at me. Silence was filled and suspicious and nosy eyes were on me now.
'Oh damn…'
I'm so gonna get her for this later on…
