A/N: Ok, true to my word, here's the third chapter.

Sword: *sniff* Has anyone seen Pen?

Oh yeah. If anyone see Pen, tell him to get his ass back here. Sword is an absolute wreck without him. Hey Sword, do you wanna do the d-

Sword: Pen, I'm sorry. Please come back.

Ok, guess I'll have to do it. I don't own any of the characters except Gauge. The others are owned by Sega.

Identity Revealed

"Mr. Gauge," Cream asked. Gauge didn't respond as he laid Amy down on her bed and covered her up. "Mr. Gauge?" Cream tried again.

"Huh? Oh sorry, I'm just not used to the Mr. Gauge," he replied. "Anyway, what is it?"

"Is Ms. Amy going to be fine?"

Gauge put his hand on Cream's shoulder and smiled. "I'm sure of it," he answered.

Cream smiled. "Well maybe we should wait here until she wakes up. Is that okay?"

Gauge hesistated slightly, but regained his composure quickly. "Sure, but I can't stay too long. Just a couple of hours."

"I'm tellin' ya man. It was such an awesome battle!" Sonic and Tails heard a newspaper vendor saying to a customer. "Sonic saving two little girls and fighting all these robots! Right in front of my stand just about an hour ago!" That made Sonic and Tails stop in their tracks.

Tails walked over the the vendor and asked, "Did you see where they're were heading?"

The man shook his head. "Nah, 'fraid not. However, one of he girls had been knocked out pretty badily. Some pink hedgehog."

Sonic dashed over to the booth. "Amy?! What happened to Amy? Where is she?"

"I just said I don't know. They said something about taking her to some house. I guess either's the pink hedgehog's house or that little rabbit's house," the man replied.

Tails looked at Sonic. "Amy and Cream? And do you think this other hedgehog is...?"

"The thief," Sonic nodded. "I'll check Amy's house and you check Cream's house, alright?"

Tails nodded. "Y'know, you seem awfully worried about Amy right now Sonic."

"Well,uh, I'm just afraid that the thief might hurt them or somethin'," he mumbled. "Anyway, let's go!"

"So Mr. Gauge," Cream asked as she sat in Amy's living room while Gauge walked around, admiring the many pictures, "where are you from?"

Gauge turned to look at her and take his attention off the pink room. In fact, the whole house almost seemed to be covered in pink. The living room's walls were painted a lighter shade of it than outside. The wooden floor was covered with rugs here and there and most of the furniture was a snow-white color. The only thing that seemed untouched by any of Amy's painting was the fireplace, which was a dark brown and held many pictures on its mantle, which Gauge had been looking at.

"Oh, here and there," he replied. "I never really stay in one place for very long. Maybe a few months at the most." He kept walking around, occasionally looking out the window. "So I have a question. Why was the guy after the two of you?"

Cream face saddened as she thought about it. "His name is Dr. Eggman and he's a very bad man. He always tried to kidnap Ms. Amy so that Mr. Sonic will come save her."

Gauge paused as he heard that and saw a picture on the mantle of Sonic and Amy together. "Sonic? As in Sonic the Hedgehog?" he asked nervously.

Cream nodded. "Yes, you've heard of him?"

Gauge nodded slowly. "Yep. I've heard of him." From what he could see in the pictures of Sonic and Amy together, it seemed to him like this Amy was Sonic's girlfriend. "This isn't good," he muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing. Say, I'm gonna go outside and get some fresh air, ok?" Gauge said as he began to walk to the back door. But at that moment th doorbell rang and Cream hopped off the couch to answer it.

When she opened the door, there stood Sonic as he took off his disguise. "Cream?" he said in surprise. "Where's Amy?"

"She upstairs Mr. Sonic. We were attacked by Dr. Eggman, but Mr. Gauge helped us," Cream replied, as she pointed to Gauge.

"Gauge?" Sonic looked at him and recognized the mohawk from the picture. "You! You're the thief!"

"Aw, great," Gauge muttered as Sonic rushed him. Sonic grabbed Gauge and slammed him against the wall. "Everyone keeps mistakin' me for you!"

"Hey man, that ain't my fault!" Gauge said as he pushed Sonic away.

"Mr. Sonic, please stop!" Cream cried. "Mr. Gauge helped us!"

Sonic shook his head. "No Cream, he's a thief. Go on, tell her," Sonic ordered.

Gauge sighed. "Alright, its true." Sonic smiled in triumph while Cream gasped. "But look, I've only ever taken stuff I've needed to survive. Just food and clothes. And," he turned to Sonic, "I didn't mean for anyone to mistake me for you. I'll try to clear that up."

"Is that why you have to move so much Mr. Gauge?" Cream asked. "Because you're a thief?"

Gauge nodded. "Yeah," he replied. "Anyway, I don't see how people have mistaken me for you Sonic. They shouldn't be pointing fingers at a world-hero."

"Yeah, well they're always quick ta judge," Sonic said. Then he looked around, as if searching for something. "By the way, where is Amy?"

"She upstairs. She's still out cold, but she should be fine. You better get up there and see her. I'm sure she wants to see her boyfriend first," Gauge said as he jerked his thumb to the stairs.

"Yeah," Sonic answered as he started to climb them. Then he paused. "Hey wait! I'm not her boyfriend!"

Gauge chuckled. "Could've fooled me with all the pictures."

"Sir, I think we've found him," a soldier at a computer station said. An older man walked over to her and glanced at the screen.

"Station Square. Good job. Send two teams out there now with orders to take Sonic alive," the man ordered. "But tell them that getting the chaos emeralds that he stole is top priority."

"Yes sir," the woman answered. She grabbd a headset and put it on as she typed some commands into the computer. "Attention, G.U.N. task forces two and three. You have a new mission."

A/N: Well I hope that was enough of a cliffhanger for you guys to keep up with the one review=one chapter thing.
