It had been a few months since our fishing trip. Everyone was happy and we got used to eating fish. Knuckles wasn't even upset anymore that was until a knock came on the door. Amy and I glanced up after being interrupted through our boyfriend gossip. Marine opened the door with a smile. "Come in mates Come in!" I was surprised as a yellow fox,a black hedgehog, and a bat girl walked in. "Everyone these are my other mates. Shadow the hedgehog, Rouge the bat, and my boyfriend Tails the fox." Sonic got up and hugged Tails. "Its been a long time bro!" Amy got up and started talking to Rouge. I sat down with Silver and watched as everyone chatted. Only Knuckles stayed by Silver and me. "Hello Knucky." Knuckles stayed silent and glanced away with a sour face. "Oh Knucky don't be that way. Were all still friends here." I glanced at Knuckles as he glared at Shadow. "Not all of us are friends Rouge." Rouge glanced over at Shadow who stayed silent watching us. I felt akward and got up with Silver following. I could see he felt the same way. "Where you going mates?" "Oh uh..." "Were going out for a walk. Right Fami?" "Ya were going for a walk." I felt bad lieing but Marine just smiled and went back to her conversation. "Can I come with you guys?" I was surprised as Knuckles asked and I nodded. "Come on." We went out and we ended up at the flower feild. We all sat down and I turned to Knuckles. "Did you know her?" "Rouge?" "Ya" "Oh...ya we know each other." He glanced away. "Are you close?" "We used to be...when we were dating..." I stayed silent for a moment. "You must have broke up then?" "Ya...ya she left me for that worhtless emo hedgehog." I glanced at Silver windering if he would ever leave me for another girl. I doubted it. "I'm sorry Knuckles. It can be hard to lose someone you love. Knuckles met Silver's eyes and sighed. "Ya sometimes to much. I still love her and t hurts to see her act as if nothing happened and we were always just friends. Then she just thinls I'm just gonna like Shadow too." I stayed silent. I didn't understand exactly how he felt but I knew it wasn't good. "Have you tried to move on? Tried to forget your past?" I glanced at curiously at Silver. He seemed to understand how he felt. "No I don't want to forget my moments with her." Silver met Knuckles eyes. "Well its better you do. When you lose a girl you have to move on." I suddenly grew a uncomfortable at Silver's pause. "Silver what girl have you lost?" Silver stiffened and met my eyes. "Her name was B-Blaze. She was just like you Fami. She was strong willed and proud but one day she stood up against the king. he put her to a death sentence and k-killed her." I froze as I saw his discomfort. "Was she your girfriend?" Silver gave a shocked look. "What? No! Blaze was my best friend." I relaxed a little and leaned on him. "I'm sorry Silver and you too Knuckles. The kings to have taken something from everyone but me." Knuckles glanced up in surprise. "How is that? Your a wanted outlaw." "I-I don't know. I can't remember anything before I woke up in an alley alone." everyone stayed silent as we all realized we had lost somehting. Knuckles had lost his love, Silver had lost his best friend, and I had lost my memory. "We better head back." I nodded and let Silver wrap his arm around me. It was chilly for the start of winter. When we got back everyone was gone. Knights surrounded the house so we hid. Out toward the edge of the dock I saw everyone chained up. "Let me out of here! You scalywags will feel my wrath!" I got angry and before the others could stop me I attacked. Silver and Knuckles followed and soon the knights layed on the round unconcious. Only their general still stood. "Let my friends go or I will burn you to the ground!" the general hurriedly unlocked everyone. "Men retreat. Were sorry for hurting snyone. we won't return we promise!" They left and the others approached. "Thanks mates but I could've handled those scalywags." I laughed a little and we went inside. Knuckles went straight to bed as did Amy and Sonic. "Mate I hate to ask but could you and Silver share a room so Tails,Shadow and Rouge have somewhere to stay. "They're staying?" Marine nodded. "These 3 are wanted outlaws. Thats why the knights came." "Oh we..." Silver looked uncomfortable. "I guess we can stay in the same room." "Thanks mates!" Silver and I went into his room. I pulled off a pillow and grabbed a blacket onto the floor. "What are you doing?" I didn't meet his gaze as I fixed the bed on the floor. "I'm making my bed." "You shouldn't sleep on the floor Fami." "Where should I sleep then? You have the bed." I met his gaze and felt my guard fall as I gazed into his yellow,glowing eyes but I quickly regained myself. "No I'm fine on the floor Silver." Silver stayed silent for a moment then to my surprise asked the uncomfortable question. "Do you want to sleep together? Its better than being on the floor." Silver helped get the bed set up and we climbed in. We turned away from each other but I had to admit I liked having him so close to me. The next morning I woke to find Silver spread out all over the bed. I kept myself from laughing and walked out into the kitchen. Marine was up fixing breakfast. "Smells good Marine." "Thanks mate. Its my famous seaweed toast." "Seaweed?" Marine nodded. "ya I know it sounds disgusting but trust me ate its delish!" "Ok..." I still wasn't so sure about it but it smelled good at least. "Hey mate why don't you go get everyone up?" I nodded and woke everyone up until only Silver was left. i walked back into our room and almost burst out laughing. Silver had fallen off the bed and was asleep on the floor. I walked over to him and shook his shoulder. "Silver?" "Huh?" "I thought we agreed no one was gonna sleep on the florr." He gazed at me confused then glanced around. "Oh I must have fallen off. I giggled and helped him up. "You must s;eep pretty deep then." He nudged my playfully and I kissed him on the cheek. "Come on,lets get breakfast." When we got in there everyone was already eating and we sat down at our plates. No one spoke for awhile until Rouge spoke. "has anyone seen Shadow this morning?" I glanced around. I hadn't even noticed he was missing. "No mate. I was the first one up and I didn't see him. Did you Falmea?" "Nope." Knuckles looked up with a cold stare. "Maybe he left because he's an idiot." "Knuckles don't be so rude!" Knuckles gave amy a glance then kept talking. "Its the truth. he's a low-down no good, stupid-" "I'm what?" Everyone jumped at Shadow's sudden sat down beside Rouge and silently ate. I could see Knuckles wasn't happy. "So uh...Rouge how long have you been together with Shadow?" "Oh Shadow and I have been going out for only a few months." "Thats cool. You two seem close." "Oh we are right Shadow?" "Sure." Knuckles gritted his teeth but stayed silent beside me. I smiled and glanced back up as Rouge spoke. "So how long you and Silver been together?" "Only a few months..." "Have you kissed?" "K-kissed well..." Amy gave a shocked gasp. "You two kissed!? When!?" I blushed embarrased. "That night Marine told us about the plan." "Mates why didn't you tell us?" "Well its a little embarrassing." Rouge laughed. "Don' be embarrassed. Shadow and I have kissed before." I glanced over at Knuckles who's face was full blown red. For a moment I thought he would hold it in but he burst. "Y ayou used to kiss me to! I loved you and you threw me away like garbage!" Rouge looked taken back. "You aren't like Falmea and Silver. they actually love each other!" "Knuckles mate plea-" "No Marine I'm tired of this! I gave her all of my time and pleasure and she left me for that emo! I even became Mephilis's stupid knight to impress her but she acts like I'm nothing!" Rouge looked a little hurt but I saw mostly anger. "Its not my fault! You should have accepted that I fell in love with Shadow and moved on!" I could see everyone was a little scared so I stepped in. "Enough! Knuckles you need to move on and Rouge you need to be more understanding." Rouge and Knuckles sat down and satyed silent. I glanced around embararased and sat back down. "Maybe we should all split up?" Marine nodded. "Amy's right mates. Lets take a break for awhile." No one argued and we split apart. I didn't usually stand up like that but I wasn't going to let Knuckles get hurt anymore. I wanted to be with Silver but I didn't want to break the idea. I could see Knuckles leaning on a tree with his eyes closed. i gave a sigh and glanced away. "He'll forgive her in time." I quickly glanced around to see Shadow leaning on the house. "Really? He's really hur- Wait why am I telling you this?" "I don't know. You tell me." I turned away and rolled my eyes. Silence was the only thing I heard so I glanced back to see Shadow gone. How did he disapear like that? I got up and walked by Knuckles who gazed up at me. I could see thanks and hurt reflecting in his eyes. I handed him a light gem. he took it. "Anytime you feel mad let its warmness calm you." Knuckles gave a small smile then closed his eys again. I walked off without another word and made my way back to the pond. I starred at my reflection and touched my scar. All I could remember was a shard scratching my eye and the intense pain that came with it. I sighed and wondered of my past. I had no memories and no one seemed to kow who i was except Mehilis. I sighed in frustation. Anytime I saw Mephilis I grew angry. he had to have been aprt of my past but how? "You ok?" I glanced back to see Amy. I gave her a fake smile. "Ya I'm fine." Amy sat down and starred out at the feild. "Fal i worry about Knuckles." I glanced at Amy in surprise. "Why?" "He's so angry at Shadow and Rouge. I just know on the inside he's hurting but he won't talk with anyone." I placed a hand on he rshoulder. "Amy sometimes emotions are bettered bottled up." "Not when you do it for so long." I stayed silent. Amy then gazed at me. "I just have to trust him don't I?" "Pretty mcuh." Amy smiled and then got up and we walked back to Marine's house.
