Unlucky Knuckles

The rays of the rising Sun shined onto your closed eyelids, causing you to slowly wake up. You turn to see Sonic still sleeping with his arm wrapped around you. You smiled feeling your boyfriend's loving embrace. You saw him turning about on his side of the hammock, before he started waking up. He turned to you and smirked. "Morning, babe." he said with a grin. "Morning, Sonic." you replied to him, before giving him a peck on the cheek. After getting up, having a quick breakfast and getting changed, you and Sonic sat together on the hammock. "What are we going to do today, babe?" you asked. Sonic scratches his head in thought. "You know, I'm not quite sure. Maybe the guys want to hang out or something." he answered, to which you gave a grin. "Sounds like a plan to me."

Lucky for you two, Tails and Knuckles didn't have any plans today either, so you all decided to hang out today. It was kind of nice not having to worry about any bad guys or plots or stuff like that, and just getting to chill with buds for once. The gang decided to play Gofaball, which you learned was kind of like golf, but with a few tweaks here and there.

"Yeah. Guess who's gonna take it downtown? Knuckles, that's who. Gonna pour Sonic a hurt-tonic, and the pain is gonna be chronic." Knuckles said. You found the red echidna's confidence to be very amusing. "You done rhyming?" you asked, to which he didn't answer. Sonic grabbed a gold coin. "Tails!" Knuckles said immediately. "Tails, you flip it. Not sure I trust this guy." he said, turning his attention to the yellow fox, causing Sonic to be a little annoyed. He flicked the coin to Tails, who then tossed it into the air. "Heads." Knuckles said. It landed in Tails' hand and he placed it on his other hand, revealing that Knuckles did not win the coin toss. He grunts in frustration. "Lucky." he said. You simply patted him on the back. "Don't sweat it, big guy. It happens." you said, trying to make him feel better, and he kind of relaxed a little.

Sonic throws the ball into the air before hitting it with a swing of the club, and he hit what you would call a hole-in-one, but you're not sure what, if anything else, it's called in Gofaball. You heard a rattling sound, to which you realized it was a large tube. And within a couple seconds, the ball flew out of the tube, right into Sonic's hand. You gave him a round of applause. "Look at you, Happy Gilmore." you said jokingly. Sonic gave a smirk towards Knuckles, to which he replied, "Don't give me that look."

The red echidna prepared his shot, and swung. The ball went for the hole at the top of the hill, and was so close to getting it in the hole, but sadly for Knuckles, all it took was a leaf to stop him from getting a point. "1-nothing, Sonic." Tails said. "Aww. C'mon. You saw the wind blew that, right?" Knuckles asked, to which you nodded.

For the rest of Knuckles' attempts it got more absurd. First, he hit a couple of birds which was weird. At least, to you it was. "What??!?" you and Knuckles both asked as confused as you could be. "You gotta factor in bird migration. That's Gofaball 101." Sonic said. Your boyfriend's comment only left you more confused. "How is anyone supposed to have it in their heads what a bird does when you're playing a frickin' game?!?" you asked in frustration.

Knuckles was getting increasingly frustrated as he tried more and more times to get the ball in the hole, but he kept on missing. The closest he got was bending the flagpole at the top of the hill. "That's totally unfair." Knuckles said. At this point, Sonic was just chilling on a lounge chair, while enjoying a cold drink. "Maybe you need to work on your swing." Tails said, standing next to Sonic. "You kidding me?! It has nothing to do with my swing. It has everything to do with luck." Knuckles angrily replied, to which Sonic and Tails just stared at him amusedly. But as far as you were concerned, you felt he was onto something. You would think he would at least have gotten one hole from the multiple attempts he made.

Knuckles tried again, and this time it was so unbelievably ridiculous, you could not believe your eyes. Knuckles swings and the ball flies towards the hill, only to stop in midair and fall short of the hole. You rubbed your eyes in disbelief, making sure that you didn't just hallucinate. "Are you kidding me?!? Did you guys even see that? You're not at all confused by that???" you asked the guys, who were just silent. Understandably, Knuckles was furious with how unlucky he was and threw his club in frustration. To add insult to injury, the club landed in the hole perfectly. Knuckles cried out in rage.
