Me: "WHOO! Chapter 6! I'm not sure how many chapters this is since I haven't decided how long chapter will be and I add things to my plot all the time."

Sonic:"Yes but when you make changes its like you want me to lose."

Rouge:"What are you talking about? Your fake dating me and I think thats a major plus."

Sonic:"Are you kidding? Knuckles has been hunting me down and he wants to kill me. Poor Tails is trying to keep him off my trail but he is determined to pummel me."

Chapter 6: Love complications and violence

Amy paced her living room as she replayed the confrontation with Sonic. The blue speedster had been with Rouge and they were now an item. This was bad and it meant that she might lose Sonic. At the thought of losing Sonic she sat down on the couch with her ears pinned back. It was still unclear if she loved Sonic or Quill but Sonic and her had history and she didn't want to just give him up so easily. Eyes closing, she let her mind wander to happier times.

One memory came to mind and it was one she would always cherish. Amy had successfully managed to get Sonic to agree to go to the beach with her. Since the blue hedgehog hated the water it was a nearly an impossible task. What won him over was the agreement to buy him four chilidogs. The love of chilidogs was greater than his hatred for water. It was nearly sunset and the two were sitting in the sand. Sonic wore his usual attire, which was just his shoes and gloves, while Amy wore a dark blue sundress. A shiver passed through her body and the male next to her noticed.

"Cold Ames?" His warm breath so close to her caused the female to shudder. She knew him so well that she didn't have to turn her head to know he was smiling.

Amy nodded her head slightly. " A little," the pink hedgehog admitted, turning her jade eyes to his emerald ones.

The usual trademark grin that graced his muzzle caused her to cheeks to redden. A small chuckle followed her blush,"How about I help you with that little problem?" Before she could register what he said, an arm wrapped itself around her shoulders.

By now her face was completely red but it didn't matter. All that mattered was Sonic had his arm around her while watching the sunset. Taking action she leaned her head on his shoulder and to her delight he didn't pull away. The two watched the sunset in silence. Enjoying one anothers company as the waves splashed quietly onto the shore.

"Oh how I wish I could relive that moment!" Amy stated longingly. In a sitting position on the couch she easily leaned over to the coffee table and picked up her cell phone. Dialing a familiar number she listened to it ring.

"Hey Amy!" A familiar feminine voice practically yelled into the phone.

"Hey Cream," Amy answered as a small smile formed. The young rabbit was like her little sister and she always knew how to cheer her up.

Cream knew when Amy was sad since she always answered back without much enthusiasim. "Whats wrong?" Being straight forward was the best way to address the pink hedgehog.

A sigh answered Creams question before she spoke. "Its Sonic. I...I saw him with Rouge."

"So?" The rabbit wasn't sure what the problem was. There was nothing wrong with Mr. Sonic hanging around friends.

"They are dating," Amy blurted out nearly in tears. It was hard to believe it but it was tougher to say.

Instantly the reason for the call was clear to Cream. The news was actually quite shocking,"Oh Amy! I'm so sorry! Maybe its just a small fling? After all everyone knows Mr. Knuckle and Miss Rouge have a thing for eachother."

"I don't know," came the emotionless reply. Numb seemed to be the only word that could describe how the emotional girl felt.

At the Master Emerald Shrine

Knuckles was sitting on the steps infront of the M.E. The red echidnas eyes were closed as his arms were crossed over his chest. It was a normal day and it was quite peaceful. That was until a high pitched voice broke through the silence.

"Let me tell him!" That voice brought a groan from Knuckles as he recognized the owner.

"I've already told you no! Out of everyone, you are the worst at breaking bad news to someone." A second voice answered the first voice. It was also familiar and made the guardian cringe.

Luckily for Knuckles a third voice spoke and the owner wasn't as bad as the other two. "Please you two. We are here to inform him. Not quarrel over something absurd."

Three figures walked up to him as he opened his eyes. There stood a purple chameleon, a green crocodile and a hyperactive bee.

"Knuckles! I-" The bee started to say but the crocodile quickly pulled him back by his wing.

"Be quiet! Espio is going to tell him Charmy!" Vector snarled at him as he squirmed in his hand.

Said Chameleon shook his head,"Yes. I apologize for this intrusion but we came to deliver an important piece of news. It seems a miss Rouge the Bat is being courted by Sonic the Hedgehog." However, Espio noticed Knuckles confused look and decided to rephrase it. "Rouge is dating Sonic."

Everything went quiet after that. Even the birds stopped singing and the wind stopped blowing. It was as if time itself had stopped. The guardians face was frozen in shock and his whole body was rigid. Slowly his muzzle began to turn a dark shade of red and a vein appeared in his head. "WHAT!" By now his face was distorted with pure rage and the barbs on his fists were buried in the ground.

Vector and Espio took a step back from the enraged echidna but Charmy was staring intently at the vein. "See! Its starting to throb. I wonder how he does that? Its so weird!" The small black and yellow insect exclaimed before Vector yanked him once again back by his wing.

"I'll kill that hog!" A boulder crumbled as Knuckles threw a punch at it. Three pairs of eyes stared in complete shock, nearly bulging out of their heads.

"I hope Sonic can run for long periods of time or atleast an expert in hide and seek." Vector said as the angry guardian ran off.

Knuckles POV

That hog is dead when I get my hands on him! It was obvious how I felt about Rouge but I was just to afraid to tell her myself. Didn't Sonic come to me for advice to get Amy anyway? What is he playing at? I bet he did it so I would let my guard down and then he swooped in as soon as he saw his chance. The little sneaky weasel...errr hedgehog!

Gliding down I landed by Tails workshop. Normally I would go in and say hi but I was on a mission. First I kill Sonic the Hedgehog and then win Rouge back. Sonic had finally gone to far and had crossed the line. The fastest thing alive was going to pay and big time.

Sonic's POV

Usually I sat in a tree when I wanted to relax. Arms behind my head, my eyes were closed. Most people could see me in this position when I actually took the time to slow down and rest. I had begun to doze off when I heard a rather strange noise. Someone was running and it sounded like they were yelling. The closer the sound got the clearer it became. Soon I was able to hear it,"SONIC!"

My blood turned cold as I recognized the angry voice and he sounded furious. Opening my eyes I saw something red running straight at the tree. Knucklehead slammed his fist into the tree I was resting on. Luckily I managed to jump out before it toppled over with a loud crash. Before I could react or say anything he turned to me and swung a deadly punch my way. Dodging I began to do what I do best, run.

"Double-crosser!" The enraged echidna yelled as he swung another punch my way.

Holy cow! He is determined to hurt me! Crap! Amy had better pick me if I'm going through this for her. My side began to sting as something jabbed me. Glancing down I noticed that there was a small cut. Somehow Knuckles had managed to land a blow on me. With my eyes on my side and not where I was running, I didn't see the rock. My foot caught on the rock and I fell flat on my stomach. Terror siezed my heart as a shadow fell over me.

"Your dead," a menacing voice spoke and it gave me goosebumps. I scrambled to get away but a gloved hand gripped my leg. "Not today hog. Your going to pay for what you did!"

Out of desperation I rolled into a ball and somehow slipped my foot free from his grasp. Spinning like crazy I began to spin dash, but instead of using it on enemies I was using it to escape. When I was far enough away I shot to my feet and raced away. Knuckles had lost his mind and I was scared senseless.

Me:"I know the fight scene sucked."

Knuckles:"What? Why didn't I get to pummel him?"

Sonic: O.O
