Hello again! You didn't think I would come back so early, did you? My promise is still kept, and one more chapter will be coming soon! Oh yeah, one more thing before this chapter begins… I have nothing against ANY of the Sonic characters. I love them all. ^_^ Commence!

DISCLAIMER: These Sonic characters belong to SEGA, not me. This plot doesn't belong to SEGA however, but instead me. So DO NOT steal the exact same plot as me, or something a little bit different and post it on here! This may not seem like anything but cute little romantic SonAmy texting drabbles, but you haven't seen THIS chapter yet.

BY THE WAY: This is my favourite chapter yet. Hopefully it'll be yours too?

CUBOT has invited E.G.G.M.A.N and ORBOT to the conversation.

CUBOT: Hey guys!

CUBOT: Guys?

CUBOT: I invited you! You're supposed to come!

CUBOT: This sucks. They need to fix this problem!

E.G.G.M.A.N: You don't have to go to a conversation if you're invited, you imbecile.

ORBOT: Why don't we just leave, master?

CUBOT: Don't leave! This is fun!

E.G.G.M.A.N: This is not fun.

E.G.G.M.A.N: Especially when we're all texting each other.

E.G.G.M.A.N: In the same room.

CUBOT: Oh well! What should we talk about?

ORBOT: You don't ask that in a conversation!

CUBOT: Oh. Wait, I know what to talk about! What has been happening with you, master?

ORBOT: Yes! Not to be rude, but I have seen you and Sonic talking the other day. What were you

talking about?

E.G.G.M.A.N: Oh yes! I have a surprise to plan out!

CUBOT: What is it?

E.G.G.M.A.N: I cannot tell you. It's a surprise!

CUBOT: Oh, sorry master.

E.G.G.M.A.N: I have everything planned out that I need to do! I have to go shopping for certain

mechanical instruments, go over my blue notes, and build my accessories!

E.G.G.M.A.N: All of them seem so fun, I don't even know where to start!

ORBOT: May I give you advice, master?

E.G.G.M.A.N: It better be good.

ORBOT: You should go over your bluenotes! Because what if you make something wrong with the

accessory? Or buy something you didn't need? Or worse?

E.G.G.M.A.N: Hmm…

E.G.G.M.A.N: That is true Orbot? Why didn't I think of that? You were always my favourite robot!

ORBOT: Thank you master!

CUBOT: Oh! I have advice too?

E.G.G.M.A.N: Please tell me!

CUBOT: You should go over your bluenotes! Because what if you make something wrong with the

accessory? Or buy something you didn't need? Or worse?

ORBOT: …

E.G.G.M.A.N has left the conversation.

Dr. Eggman sighed and put his laptop away, exiting the velvet lounge him, Orbot, and Cubot were in.

"I am done with your stupidity."He stated.

The footsteps he made echoed throughout the entire room.

Swoosh!

A ruby red and silver bi-plane zoomed through the daylight. The evening skies looked brighter than ever, showing signs of a new season coming. The pilot smiled at the various clouds in the air, letting his imagination go by. When was the last time he's had a moment like this? Just flying in the sky, so high off the ground...It almost felt like he was in heaven. The pilot adjusted his goggles before actually taking a good look at his surroundings. Finally after hours of brightness, it was finally seeming to get a little darker, or at least it looked like it. Even though the skies weren't gloomy, more than dozens - maybe even thousands, or billions - of big, small, different shaped, clouds covered the sky like a blanket. The pilot couldn't help but touch when his mind overwhelmed with curiosity, and earned himself a wet glove when the Mobian stuck his arm out. A small glare appeared on his face, definitely not as bright as the sun's which reflected off of his goggles. They irritated the flyer, so finally getting both hands off the plane he took them off.

Meanwhile, Knuckles daydreamed. After a few minutes, he checked the time on his wrist watch, a birthday gift Tails had given to him earlier in the year. Where was he? The ruby echidna's friend was never tardy... Or was he? Knuckles honestly never noticed.

A few minutes passed in the sky before something shiny caught the Mobian's bright eyes. Getting ready to stop, the Tornado's propellers became slower and parked on Angel Island. Taking only a hop, skip, and a jump, the pilot left the bi-plane and went over to the Master Emerald Shrine, where his friend sat. Loud footsteps made the echidna's invisible ears perk and stare to his right, before he sighed. He forgot about the aura the Mobian gave whenever he went by. It was always a happy-go-lucky feeling. However, Knuckles wasn't feeling it today, and sighed instead.

Wait, where was it?

Knuckles didn't brag about his intuition - mostly because he had no intuition and was more gullible than a five year old, however something was wrong. He suddenly felt... different. And it wasn't the good kind. Before, Knuckles felt bored as usual, but now... he felt disturbed, in a very sad way. As if he had gotten some horrible news. It seemed that Knuckles was so disrupted that he almost forgot his visitor was finally here. The echidna mindlessly brushed the feelings away and looked at his rival in the eyes with a glare.

"What do you wa-"

"Long time no see Knucklehead!"

Beside Knuckles sat Sonic the hedgehog, legs open unmannerly with a goofy grin on his face.

"What do you want?" Knuckles has no intention of hiding the scowl on his face.

"I just wanted to say hi!" Sonic exclaimed. "We haven't talked in a while, have we? Well actually he have but that was online so-"

"So you're telling me," Knuckles started,"That you only texted me - even though you could have done this at home - just so you can come over and say 'hi'?"

Sonic just nodded his head and somehow his smile grew wider.

And then it hit him.

Knuckles felt like he was slapped in the face. Like a tsunami just captured him in the middle of Japan, or someone with bad breath had been talking to him. However, he wasn't drowning in water triple Dr. Eggman's weight, and he didn't smell anything horrid either. But what did happen was that the feeling was back stronger than ever, and Knuckles couldn't ignore it this time.

Knuckles wondered for a moment why Sonic wasn't getting affected by this feeling. Currently, Knuckles looked like he heard bad news, and comparing Sonic's mood to his, the blue hedgehog looked like he was on drugs. And worse, why didn't Sonic notice the look his friend had on his face? It baffled the echidna, really.

Finally it all sunk in. It took awhile for the gullible echidna to process what was going on, but it finally got to him. The look on Knuckles' face faded away and a cynical and wary look took its place. Sonic didn't seem to notice this either.

"What do you really want.." Knuckles asked. However, the way he trailed of didn't make it sound like a question.

"You always ask Tails for a ride. You wanted to talk to me alone, didn't you?"

Now Sonic had a baffled look on his face. "What're you talking about 'Knux? You know I love flying my plane as much as I love to run! It's just that I let tails do it! 'Ya know, 'cause he's better than me an-"

"Cut the crap, hedgehog."

The azure hedgehog had a look of much disbelief on his face, before finally closing his legs and resting his head to his gloves hands with a tired expression on his face before a sigh left his mouth. The depressing aura became thicker than tension that you could only cut with a knife - in this case, the knife would break.

"What are you thinking about?" Knuckles said in a sing-song voice, trying to make the hedgehog feel better. Instead a feeling of regret hit but he ignored it for the moment. Sonic hasn't answered. Growing impatient, the rose echidna took off his mittens and flicked Sonic's right ear with his spikes.

"Ow! How are you even doing that?" The younger Mobian raised his voice.

"Tell me what you're thinking about!" Knuckles said impatiently. "I'm not a mind reader!"

"Fine! I'm thinking about..." Sonic looked the other way, trying to hide his scarlet blush.

"Uh-huh..."

"About..."

"Yeah..."

"That..."

"That..."

"That dude."

Knuckles' eyes almost popped of of their sockets. "Dude? I thought it was a gir-"

Sonic covered Knuckles' mouth. "Yeah, it is a girl..."He whispered.

"But I think someone is with us 'Knux..."

"What are you talking about? The only things here are us, the animals and Chao, and food!" Knuckles whisper yelled - wait, why was he even whispering?

"How do you know? You're as blind as a bat!"

"Look who's talking hedgehog!"

"Wait… what were we talking about again...?"

"We wer-"

"Oh yeah! So I um... Have a crush on..." Sonic's voice was a bit quieter than usual as he started. "This, um... red..."

"You better shut the he-"

"Red hedgehog!" Sonic finished before he got pounded, much to his fortune. Knuckles narrowed his violet eyes.

"Whatever-"

"Oh yeah! And he's black too, and um, he's mean! And grumpy!" The azure hedgehog kept on going.

"Shut up Sonic… that wasn't necessary..." The ruby echidna whisper-shouted."

"Oh! Well um… yeah..." Sonic was then back to his depressed self, playing with his white gloves. All of a sudden, he felt something touch him. Something... warm. It was kind of… soft too. Sonic looked to his right, and his eyes widened.

It was Knuckles' arm.

Knuckles' arm was around Sonic's shoulder. It perched there awkwardly, just looking like the red body part was resting there for no reason whatsoever. Knuckles on the other hand, wasn't looking that way at all, and instead tried to focus on a blooming tree. But, Sonic didn't mind it. The azure hedgehog smiled...a genuine smile. Don't get the wrong idea, Sonic still felt like he was in a locked jail cell of depression...

"You know Knuckles, usually you're supposed to get closer to the person you're putting an arm around..."

But that didn't stop his humour from finding a way out of it.

"Uh, what?"

Sonic started to laugh hysterically until his sides hurt, finally panting for breath. Even after his breathing was still a little bit jagged. Knuckles gave him a glance before finally turning back to him.

"What I'm trying to tell you is… I have your back, okay? I've been in love before, and I know how it feels to lose someone..." Knuckles gulped as he trailed off. "But I'm telling you now... Just because I'm helping you, doesn't mean I'm giving you a ticket to screw up your entire love life. Don't do anything stupid... or stupider than what you've already done."

Sonic nodded. "I promise I won't, 'Knux..."

After a while of sitting in silence, Sonic finally picked up Knuckles' hand from his shoulders, laid it gently on his lap, and started walking to the Tornado.

"Well, I'm gonna go now. I have stuff to do, ya know?" The Mobian stopped to stretch his arms and legs.

"Yeah, like talking to your girlfriend." Knuckles stated with a chuckle.

"She's not my girlfriend!" Sonic exclaimed, getting the bi-plane engines ready.

"Oh yeah, I forgot..."

"It's your boyfriend!"

"SCREW YOU!" Sonic yelled, and finally flew off.

Knuckles closed his eyes and sighed. What a secret the hedgehog had. And they had to keep it from everyone else. However, it would be easy to. With no one ever on the island, and his reserved attitude, Knuckles was the best secret keeper. Sonic's words were in safe, mitten-covered hands.

Or, that's what Sonic and Knuckles thought.

There were animals, Chao, and fruit on the island too. But do you know what else?

A pair of blue eyes watching them the entire time.
