Rouge's P.O.V.
Ugh, my head. Damn, it's thumpin' so hard; I can hardly hear myself think!
Ever been on a really crazy night out, and you can hardly stand because of all the cocktails you've had, and then in the mornin' you really regret gettin' up?
That's what it feels like…
The pain decreases only slightly. Enough for me to notice that I still had my eyes shut. Either that or I'm in a dark room.
I reach my hand up and touch my eyelids gently. Nope, it's not the room.
I then open my eyes slowly. I expect to see a blinding light or somethin'. But there was only a little light in the room. Not enough for my eyes to be strained. It barely gave the room an orange glow. Just enough to see everything in the room.
I then take a look around, figure out my surroundings.
Great, I'm in a cage. A cage big enough for maybe the whole Sonic team to fit in. But I'm confused… Why am I in a cage? I was just at Tails house and then…
Wait a minute…
Cream, Amy!
I look to my left quickly, hopin' to see them. Bad news is, I turned my head too quick and hurt my neck. The good news is, is that Amy and Cream were in sight. They were still unconscious, but looked fine none the less. I took in my surroundings a bit better this time, seein' as I new my friends were ok, for now.
Our cages, or cells, whatever you want to call it, were lined up. My cell was at the right, Amy's, next to mine was in the middle, and Cream's was next to Amy's, the far left. The place, or room, was coloured black. Everything was black. The only colourful – and prettiest and sexiest – peaces of work were us three ladies.
What can I say, we always stand out…
I was brought outta my thoughts when I heard a groan. I looked over to Amy to find her stirrin' at last. Finally…
I was just about to talk to her before she freaked, but I was too late and her motor mouth went off.
"Ugh, damnit! How many times have I told Sonic not to hit me on the head when he's escapin' a water ride! As soon as I see him, my hammer will so far up his-"
"Ames?"
She stopped her rantin' and looked over her shoulder. Confused eyes met. It was then that she took in her surroundings.
"Rouge? Where are we? …Oh yeah…" Ahh, now she remembers…
"Remember now?"
"Yeah… Wait, where's Cream?!" She seemed to be in a daze when she answered me, and then she automatically went into panic mode.
"It's ok, Amy. Creams in the cage or cell next to you. The thing we need to worry about right now is on how we're gonna get outta these things."
We both went silent on thinkin' up some way to get out. In the middle of thinkin', we heard a huge crash. We both jumped more or less 20 feet; that is, if the cell was high enough…
I turned to Amy. Seein' her turn to me, same look in each others eyes.
Worry.
Eggman might – is – a pain in the ass, but never underestimate how strong his machines can get. I almost got killed last year by Metal Sonic. That is, if Knuckles didn't come to the rescue. Damn, his timin' was the bomb.
I then start to remember somethin'. I… I remember what he said to me before I blacked out. He said… I promise I'll getcha out or somethin'. Somethin' like that anyway.
I then heard his voice in my head… 'I'll get you outta there, Rouge! I promise!'
That's what he said. But, he didn't keep his promise…
My ears flattened against my head. Thinkin' of Knuckles breakin' a promise is like me gettin' my heart snapped in two. 'Cause I trust him with my life. But… He would keep his promise, wouldn't he? 'Cause he's probably thinkin' up a plan right now! My ears perked upwards a little. I know he'll come before anythin' happens, 'cause he always does. Why should this time be different?
I was brought outta my day dreamin' about the lush Echidna by Amy. She looks kinda mad at me. Probably thought I ignored her or somethin'.
"Rouge, didja hear me?" All I could say was 'Uhh'.
She sighed and repeated herself. "I'm gonna use one of my hair clips to try and pick at the lock."
Damn, I could've thought of that. I'm a spy for Christ's sake! But I have a very good reason why I didn't think of somethin' faster.
"Well, I could've thought of that." I stated in a matter of fact kind of tone.
"Then why didn't you?" Ooooh, score one for Ames. I ain't gonna answer her. She knows me well enough to know what I was spaced out for. Anyone could figure that out, if they knew me. Except Sonic. He's as dense as a dummy. Although, I have to admit, he has been givin' Amy a lot of… nice comments. Well, at least he's finally seen the light…
I then let out a sigh, sat down against the bars and watched Amy pick at her lock.
"I'm still waitin' for an answer ya know…" Her voice echoed in the room, which was just plain creepy…"
"You already know the answer, Pinky."
She stopped pickin' at the lock and turned her head over her shoulders to look at me. I gave her a smirk. She smirked back, knowin' what it meant. She knew why anyways…
"That I do, Twinkles…" Ugh I hate that nickname she gave to me!
Let me explain… I wrote a poem three years ago about the stars and how they twinkle and blah blah blah. The poem also had Knuckles in it. No one was supposed to neither see nor read it, but Amy found it on the kitchen table where I accidentally left it.
From then on, whenever I called her Pinky, she called me Twinkles.
I shifted to a more comfortable position against the bars and watched Amy tryin' to pick the lock.
'This is gonna be one borin' capture…'
Just then, Eggman walked into the room. Amy immediately stopped what she was doin' and placed the clip into her hair again, hopin' Eggman didn't see anythin'. Luckily, he didn't.
I've a funny feelin' about this. He has that smirk again. The smirk I knew all too well…
How wrong was I when I said this was gonna be borin'?

Tails P.O.V.
Great. Just great. This day couldn't get any worse. Touch wood…
Shall I make a list?
Well, there's my kitchen, which was blown up by Eggman. There's Cream and the other girls that have just been captured by Egghead. There's Sonic, Knuckles and me, which we had just woken up an hour ago, that had been hit with sleepin' gas, lettin' Egghead get away with the girls…
Anythin' else?
Oh, yeah. And there's Knuckles, who's destroyin' my livin' room as we speak, cursin', sayin' he broke his promise to Rouge. Poor guy. Should never make a promise you can't keep…
After 5 minutes, Sonic finally calmed down Knuckles. He got him sittin' on the couch, drinkin' a glass of water in 5 seconds straight…
I let out a tiered sigh. A plan must be made to rescue the girls. This time, I don't think we should be noticed, as in fightin' off robots at Eggman's front door. It should be quicker too if we're unnoticed.
I then sat next to Knuckles, formin' a plan in my head.
Why does the genius always have to come up with the plans?
But, then again, this is to save Cream and the other two. It would be worth every headache.
It took me maybe 5 minutes to come up with the plan. I went onto my laptop to research the structure of Eggman's base.
When I was lookin' over the base, that's when I realised somethin'. A red dot was seen in a small room.
Then it hit me.
A year ago, I implanted a chip in Cream so I could track her anywhere she goes. She insisted on havin' it when I told her what I'd built. So I agreed.
It sure has come in handy.
I told Sonic and Knuckles. They were both ecstatic about it, since Amy and Rouge would probably be with Cream. Well, it's gonna be easier than I thought.
I just hope we get there in time, before somethin' happens…
