Chapter Five

Disclaimer: I own nothing, nada!

The next morning on Angel Island…

Sonic, Tails and Amy came by Angel Island to visit Knuckles. They wanted to know how his date went with Rouge. They tried calling Knuckles and Rouge on their cellphones but they didn't pick up. They planned on checking up on Knuckles first and then visit Rouge in her house afterwards.

Sonic and Tails were looking forward to making fun of Knuckles and teasing him. Amy on the other hand was really hoping that their date went well. The three of them were talking on their way to the Master Emerald shrine.

"I'm telling you, Knuckles messed the date up!" said Sonic, laughing.

"No he didn't!" said Amy, defending him. "I'm sure it was a wonderful and romantic date!"

"Look, Knuckles is my boy…but he doesn't know shit about women. I'm sure he pissed her off or said something really stupid to ruin their date!"

"I hope the date went well, but I have to agree with Sonic. I think Knuckles might have screwed up the date." said Tails.

"And I say he didn't." said Amy.

"Alright Ames…I bet you twenty bucks that the date was a disaster." said Sonic, smirking.

"Twenty bucks and we go on a date." said Amy, smirking.

"Amy Rose…I'm so confident I'm right, that I bet you twenty bucks, a date and I'll serenade you with a song." said Sonic.

"Whoa!" said Amy, laughing. "A part of me wants you to win the bet. But as romantic as a date and serenade sounds…I really hope that Knuckles and Rouge had a great date!"

"We're about to find out." said Tails, going up the stairs of the shrine.

"Hey Knucklehead!" said Sonic, when they reached the top of the shrine.

Sonic, Tails and Amy noticed a blanket on the ground. Their eyes went wide in shock when they realized who was under the blanket. Rouge and Knuckles were sleeping, the blanket covering them. They had their arms around each other as they cuddled in their sleep. They both looked so peaceful. Next to the blanket were Rouge's heels and purse and Knuckles' sneakers and shirt.

"HOLY SHIT!" yelled Sonic. He was in so much shock that he yelled. His voice was so loud that Rouge and Knuckles woke up.

Rouge and Knuckles fluttered their eyes open and sat up.

"What are you guys doing here?" asked Knuckles, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"What are we doing here? What are you two doing here? Under that blanket? What is happening?" asked Sonic in shock.

Rouge chuckled and rubbed Knuckles' chest.

"What does it look like Sonic? We slept together." said Rouge, smirking at her friends.

Knuckles and her smiled at each other and kissed.

Rouge and Knuckles were clothed. Rouge was still wearing her romper and Knuckles was wearing his jeans but he was shirtless. They didn't have sex. They didn't do anything sexual. They just slept and cuddled together.

"Aww!" said Amy.

"What the hell?" said Sonic. "No, this isn't how it's supposed to happen! I expected Knuckles to screw up and then I would make fun of him! Now I can't make fun of him!"

"In your face Sonic." said Knuckles, smirking.

"Yeah, in your face Sonic!" said Rouge. "Our date was amazing! And Knuckles was such a gentleman."

"Well Sonic, you owe me twenty bucks, a date and a serenade!" said Amy, smirking.

"Damn it!" said Sonic.

"Sonic and Amy sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I…" teased Tails. Before he could finish spelling, Sonic playfully punched him in the arm.

"Shut up!" said Sonic.

Everyone laughed.

"I can't believe you two are dating. You guys are always bickering. I never would have imagined that you would end up being a couple." said Tails to Knuckles and Rouge.

"Bickering is just a dynamic of our relationship. We can't help it." said Rouge, chuckling. "But even with our arguing, we've always had feelings for each other."

"Yeah, we were just too stubborn to admit it." said Knuckles.

"I'm actually not surprised that you two are dating." said Amy. "I had a feeling that you two loved each other. You two are like an old married couple; you bicker and ague but you can't get enough of each other. Besides, I thought you two would make a cute couple and you do!"

"Thanks Amy." said Rouge, chuckling.

"Jokes aside, I'm really happy for you two!" said Sonic, beaming.

"Thanks buddy." said Knuckles, smiling.

"Thanks Sonic." said Rouge, also smiling.

"Do you guys wanna grab some breakfast?" asked Amy.

"Good idea Ames! I'm starving." said Sonic.

"When are you not starving Sonic?" teased Tails.

"It's not my fault I got a fast metabolism." said Sonic, smirking.

Knuckles and Rouge stood up. Rouge put on her heels and Knuckles put on his shirt. The echidna folded the blanket and neatly put it away.

"Alright, let's go eat!" said Knuckles, who held Rouge's hand.

"Let's go to I-HOP!" said Tails, excitedly. "I really want pancakes!"

"Pancakes sounds great! Pancakes and chili dogs! Now that's a breakfast!" said Sonic.

"Sonic the fat hog…" said Knuckles, laughing.

"Whatever!" said Sonic, chuckling.

Everyone laughed as they headed out to eat. Rouge was so happy. Knuckles was right; she wasn't alone. She had such great friends and now she had the best boyfriend a girl could ask for.

Rouge was very happy she made that bet. She never thought that such a silly bet would lead to her and Knuckles dating.

That silly bet paid off at the end. For both the bat and the echidna.

The End.
