Morning came and the birds were chirping and the rooster were singing. The two were still asleep until the birds singing woke up Rouge. She awoke slowly, realizing that it was morning. "Morning already?" She yawned, sitting up stretching. She's never up this early, but she doesn't hear roosters where she lives and with hear ears she can hear miles away. "It's 6:30 am?" She sighed. She looks at Sonic to find him fast asleep. She knew he was use to this kind of life style. She got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up a bit.

About 30 minutes later she comes out the bathroom. She feels well rested and really not the sore anymore. "Maybe I should go find some breakfast, while he sleeps." She thought, looking at the slumbering hedgehog. She decided to go, walking out the door. "I heard some roosters, so there has got to be chicken eggs around." She said going toward the rooster sounds. An hour passes and she starts flying . "5 will do" She thinks. Suddenly, she spots a couple SWATBOTS and it seems to be by Sonics' crib. "What tha hell!" She yells, flying closer to the trees. When she arrives, there are four BOTS and they investigate the cabin. Two go in and two outside. Rouge had to get those two out of the house. So she attacked one of the BOTS, that was outside to cause a distraction. Delivering a screw kick, she's able to destroy it, focusing on the other one. She gives it another one of her devastating kicks. Finishing him up, she heads towards the cabin, but the stops to see both BOTS breaking through the walls, leaving a giant hole in the cabin. Sonic sees Rouge through the hole and feels relief to find her okay. He speeds to her. "Rouge! Your alright! I though something had happened to you!" He exclaimed. Rouge smiled at his "I was going to ask you the same question. There was 4 BOTS here and two went in your house. I thought you were still asleep, but I'm just glad your okay." She replied. Sonic looked around to see the other two into pieces. He looked back and smiled. "So where were you?" He asked, walking back towards the cabin. "I went to get some breakfast while you were asleep. I wanted to surprise you." She grinned, pulling out the eggs out of here utility bag. "Great! I could eat after what just happened." He said. "But we have to eat quick cause pretty soon there'll be more of them here." Rouge agreed and hurried to start cooking.

After eating they were ready to get going. Sonic started running and Rouge started flying. "You know Rouge. Its been a long time since I've been to the city." Sonic said. Rouge looked down at him. "Things are pretty much the same. Except it's missing someone." She replied smiling with one of her fangs showing. Sonic smiled back. "Oh was I missing? What's the reward if I'm found?" Sonic jokingly asks. Rouge laughs. "I don't know. I'll get back to you on that." She tells him. They stop because there at the edge of a cliff. Rouge looks at Sonic. "Well come on Sonic, give me your hands. I'll fly us across." She tells him, reaching out. Sonic nods and holds her hands, as she begins to fly. "So rouge I don't know if you've noticed, but those were Robotniks' SWATBOTS." Sonic said. Rouge was taken back by this. "Robotnik?! But he's dead!" The bat exclaimed. "Everything that was his was destroyed in the blast, 15 yrs ago. How could it be his?" She asked. Sonic really didn't know how, but he was sure there were his. "He puts his face on everything. The robot had his face logo on its shoulder. I'm not sure how and why they turn up now, but I'm gonna find out." Sonic says, griping Rouges' hands harder. Rouge noticed and looked down at him. "I bet you will and I'll be right beside." She added.

They finally get to the city and there first stop was Tails' place. They both head towards the door and knock. Tails open the door. "Oh hey Rouge. What up?" Tails greets. "Tails, we need your help." Rouge tells him. Tails raises his brow. "We?" he asks, confused. Rouge then steps aside. "Sonic!? Is that you?!" Tails ask, surprised. Sonic gives him his famous smile. "Hey Tails. What up?" Sonic tells him. Tails calls cream quickly. "Cream come here Sonics here!" He yells. Cream come to the door and her eyes widened when she sees the old hero. "SONIC!? OMG I haven't seen you in yrs!" She says excitedly. "Tails cant you let them in?" She looks at him. They head towards the living room, where they take their seats. "So, what brings the both of you here?" Tails asks, grabbing a drink that cream is giving out. "Tails were here for you help to stop a psycho named Fang. He's been wanted for some time now, but now he gotten to dangerous." She explains. Tails looks at her. "How can I help?" He asks. "Well he found some sort of super armor that turns into all kinds of weapons and gadgets. He can even fly with it. I was hoping you knew what type of armor he's using." She finished. Tails thought for a minute, until something popped in his head. "I know, yeah. It was something Eggman had developed when he was still alive. The day of the explosion, I found a prototype of what you might be talking about and took it for analyzing." He told them. Rouge and sonic looked at each other, then back at Tails. "Tails some of Eggmans robots attacked us this morning. You don't think he's still alive do you?" Sonic asks him. "Well that's odd. What' Eggmans robots doing? You know, there might be a connection with that guy Fang and Robotnik." He suggested. They shook their head in agreement, but why now? It would have taken Robotnik 15 yrs for his next invasion. "Tails can you show us the prototype?" Rouge asked. Tails nodded and lead them towards the basement, where he keeps all his work and inventions. "By the way. How did you guys run into each other?" He wondered. Rouge turns to him. "Well to make a long story short. I was saved by Sonic and I stayed the night with him." She explained. Tails looked at her crazy. "Whhaat? You slept with him?" Tails asked. "Yeah. I mean no. I mean..It's not what you think. I was just resting!" She said, a little annoyed. Sonic started to giggle a little. Tails opens the door to the basement and pulls out a small button out of a cabinet. "Here it is." Tails says, showing the button. Sonic and Rouge look at him dumb. "What's this?" They both ask. Tails pushes the button and armor comes out of the little square remote and covers his body. "This is the armor." He replies. "It doesn't have weapons, or can it fly, but the armor is extremely reinforced making it almost indestructible." He finished banging his chest. Sonic sighs "Well that's great. How do we destroy something that cant be destroyed?" he asks. Tails looks at him "Just because its powerful doesn't mean it doesn't have its weak spots." Tails tells him. The batgirl ask what the weak spots are. Tails points at his back. "The center of the back is a sure weak spot because it isn't as reinforce as the front. I you can give it a good crack on the back, it'll slowly start to break, or you can break it if you have enough force, but it'll have to be a powerful." Tails explains. They never doubt him when it comes to technology, but there something that Sonic keeps thinking about. "But what if the other one is more stronger?" Sonic asks. Tails thinks about that. "It could be possible the other one is more stronger, since this is just a prototype." Tails replied. Rouge balled up her fist. "Well no matter what. He must be stopped." She remarked. Tails went back to his cabinet and pulls out a shinny rock. "This should help you guys out." Tails said, handing them a chaos emerald. The both were surprised to see this. "WHOA! A chaos emerald!" Sonic shouts. He grabs the emerald and they head back up stairs. "If you guys find out more about this guy, let me know and I'll help however I can." He tells them. They both thank him, say their goodbyes and head to their next stop. "So where to next Rouge?" Sonic asks. Rouge faces towards him. "How about we go get some lunch Sonic?" She suggested. Sonic smiled and agreed. They started walking towards the downtown area to find a good spot, when they see Shadow and Amy. Rouge is the first to spot them. "Hey guys!" She hollers, waving her hands. Amy sees this and starts waving back, grabbing shadow. They approach the two. "Hey Rouge and…SONIC!" She yells, covering her mouth. Shadow looks at him as if he's seen a ghost. "Well, well if it isn't Sonic The Hedgehog. For sometime now I thought you were dead." Shadow remarked, crossing his arms. Sonic smirked "Glad to see you to shadow." He told him. Amy grabbed his hand. "OMG. We need to catch up with you guys. It's been years." She says, very excited. "We were about to go get something to eat. You guys should come along." Amy purposes. Sonic and Rouge told them that's where they were heading. The couples went to a deli, catching up along the way. "So Sonic saved you and agreed to help find this new guy Fang?" Amy repeated. They nodded their heads. Amy looks at Rouge. "You know for a second there I thought you two were together." She says with a little smile. They weren't expecting her to say that out of nowhere, but they blushed when she did. "Maybe you two should settle down. You guys aint getting any younger." She continues. Rouge looks back at Amy "I could say the same about you. When are you and Shadow going to make it official and get married?" Rouge turns the attention back at them. The two hedgehog lovers look at each other, then back at them. "Well actually I have some news." She pauses. Sonic and Rouge are just waiting to hear this cause when she has news, it something totally surprising. "I'm pregnant!" She finishes, with a big smile. Sonic drops his mouth and Rouge is just shocked. "Your pregnant?! Since when?!" The shocked bat asks. "I found out about two weeks ago." Prego replies. Sonic faces Shadow and pats him on the back. "Congratulation Shadow! Maybe this baby will soften you up a bit." Sonic laughs. Shadow smirks "Just because I'm going to be a dad, doesn't mean I'm going to change. As a matter of fact I think it'll make me better." Shadow says back. Sonic smiles back, then looks away. "Your probably right. You might not change, but your life will. You better believe that." Sonic replies.

After ordering there food, they ask only Shadow for help, since Amy is a mother to be. "HA! I never thought Sonic would be asking for help. What are you getting to old Sonic?" Shadow says. Sonic smirks at that remark. "You don't have to if you don't want to. I wouldn't want you to pull something trying to keep up with me." Sonic returns. Shadow kinda gets bothered by the statement, but ignores it. "What ever, you can count me in." Shadow says, not wanting to be outdone by his old rival. Amy sighs "Okay Shadow, but don't go and get yourself killed. Still have me to take care of." Amy tells him. The two smile and start to kiss, which makes Sonic and Rouge fell a little awkward. "Oh and Sonic…" She pauses to look at her belly, "When you guys capture Fang. I want you to be the babys God father. So don't leave us again, okay?" She finishes looking back up at him. Sonic gives a smile, "You got it Amy." He says with a thumps up. They couple get done with their lunch and head their separate ways. Sonic and Rouges' next stop was Knuckles place and that was miles away, so they hurried off.

While on their way towards Angel Island. Sonic has a lot on his mind. "Hey Rouge." Sonic starts. "Yeah?" She returns. Sonic thinks carefully of what to say next. "When this is over. What are we going to do next?" He asks a little curious. Rouge looks at him. "Same thing I've been doing. Work, eat and sleep with a little 'me time' in there." She replies with a smile. "What about you?" She returns the question. Sonic looked straight forward. "I don't know. Maybe I'll finally settle down, but first I need to find somebody to settle down with." He says back, looking at her now. Rouge starts to feel a little tingle when he looked into her aqua blue eyes. "Don't worry Blue, you'll find her. Even sooner then you think." She says smiling. He returns her smile, but then finally get to their destination. "All right we need to go up from here." Rouge says, grabbing Sonics hands again. They fly up, passing the clouds. They can even see the city from up there, but then land on the island. "Alright where to start." Sonic says, looking around. Suddenly, they hear a loud explosion. "What the hell was that?!" He exclaimed, turning around. He sees a cloud of smoke in the distance. He grabs Rouges hand and speeds off. "Come Rouge." He says before speeding away. When they get there, there's about 9 SWATBOTS and 1 Knuckles and they need to help him quick. They both spring into action. Rouge taking one side and Sonic the other. Knuckles notices them both, "What tha…Sonic!" He says, letting his guard down. The bots see their chance to attack and take it. One extends its arm to grab him and the other goes in for the punch. BAM! Knuckles gets sent stumbling back. "Damn you fuckers are gonna pay for that!" He yells, whipping his mouth. He starts digging underground and the robots begin to scan the ground to see if they can get a heat signal. Mean while the two heroes finally get there and a the other robots turns toward them. They divide evenly to take on their opponent. The bots start shooting, but Sonic and Rouge easily evade. Sonic lures them in close to each. "Hope you like this!" He says delivering a Sonic wind. The tornado like wind is to powerful for the bots, as it breaks chunks of metal and pulling them into the air, sending them flying of the island. Rouge lines them up close enough to deliver a screw kick, going through and destroying the three SWATBOTS. She meets back with Sonic and they both are about to finish the last two until Knuckles pops out of the ground. He destroys one robot when he pops up and quickly glides toward the other one, destroying it with great force. "HHMM! That'll teach you to take the Master Emerald!" He says. Sonic and Rouge run to him. "Knuckles you alright?" Sonic asks. Knuckles turns around to see the two. "Well look who fell from the sky. Why are you two here? This is quite a surprise." He starts. "Well I had a feeling you were getting your ass handed to ya. So I came to save the day." The cocky hedgehog says. "HAHA! I had everything under control. It's just those bots were after the emerald. So I had to knock'em dead! What's up with you and Rouge?" He asked. They explain the story to him about Fang and his connection with Eggman. "So do you think this Fang ordered them to steal my emerald?" The echidna says. They both nod. "We didn't think of Fang trying to steal the emerald, but since he has Eggmans armor suit. I think he some how reactivated the robots and ordered them to steal the emerald to make him unstoppable." Sonic answered. "Well in that case your going to need the Chaos Emeralds, since he's looking to power him self up." Knuckles points out. "I'd never thought I'd say this, but I think your right Knuckles." Sonic admits. Tikal walks out to the altar, worried if her husband is alright. "Oh Knuckles your alright." She says, with her four kids right behind. " WOW Knuckles. I see you've been busy." Rouge smirked. They all laugh. "Hey what's up Tikal?" They blue hedgehog greets. Tikal turns to him and smiles. "Sonic! How are you?" She says giving him a hug. "Hey rouge." She says "Oh my its been a long time since I've seen you two. You must stay for dinner." She implies. Sonic and Rouge both look at each other and then back at the girl. "Uh actually its getting kinda late and when we get back home it'll be even later, but thank you though." Rouge tells her. Tikal frowns "Well I guess your right, but please come back for a visit. We need to do something together on day." Tikal replies. They agree to do something, but for now it was time to go. Knuckles stops them before they speed off. "Wait! I have something for you two." He says pulling out a Chaos Emerald. "Here ya go. Don't go losing them now." Knuckles smiled before handing it to them.

They thanked them, then left heading toward the edge of the island. Sonic grabbed Rouges hands again. "Well Rouge if you could just send me to the ground I'll be on my way home." He tells her. Rouge didn't understand. Had he forgotten that there's a huge hole in his house? "Sonic your house is a mess. And I bet there're robots all over that place. I think you should come stay with me for a while." She tells him. Sonic couldn't pass up that offer, so he agrees. Rouge smiles when hey said yes. "Do you think I would leave you alone in a house with a giant hole in it? You're my partner now Sonic and we've got to stick together." She tells him. Gripping his hands tighter.

They get to Rouges house and Rouge starts looking for her house keys. She opens the door and lets Sonic in. "Welcome to casa de Rouge" She says, walking into the living room. Sonic looks around at his surroundings. "I could get use to this." Sonic says. Rouge smiles at the statement. "Good. I hope you do." She says, leading Sonic to the guest room upstairs, right next to her room. "It's not much, but it'll do for now." She tells him, but then again she remembers Sonic didn't have much at his house either, so it shouldn't be a problem. Sonic looks at her. "Its fine Rouge. Everything I need is right in front of me." He tells her. Rouge blushes since she was in front of him. Sonic notices the blush. "You alright? You look a little red." the hedgehog teases. Rouge looks away. "Ahhm! Yeah I'm fine." She says, pulling her self together. "I'm going to run a bath, so just make yourself at home."

Sonic lays in the bed, a little tired. So much happened today, its not unusual that he's feeling a bit sleepy. He starts to slowly close his eye and then falls asleep. Rouge finishes up her bath and gets out of the bathtub and into her night gown. It's a sexy lingerie that isn't to revealing, but shows just enough skin to get a man aroused. She looks at the mirror then smiles. She walks out and goes toward the living room, but she doesn't see him. So she goes back to Sonics room. "Sonic are you in here?" She says opening the door. She finds the hedgehog in a deep sleep. She walks toward him. "Sonic" She says, but he doesn't awake. She was hoping he was awake, to keep here company. It's not even that late, but it's been a long day. She gentle slides her fingers across the side of his face and through his quills and smile. "Sweet dreams Sonic" She whispers, getting up and walking out the door.
