May 30th, Saturday evening.
They drank, they danced, they ate a lot. Everyone was having fun and living the present.The sun was leaving the sky, colouring it with an orange palette.
"It's bouquet time!" screamed a cheerful voice.
"Ugh, I thought these kind of conservative traditions were dead... Not that I was expecting anything else from the pinky hedgehog..."
"What does this mean?" Asked Knuckles after reaching her.
Rouge smirked. He was serving her the perfect opportunity to build up the situation and have some innocent fun.
"I'll tell you sugar." Said approaching him: "A legend said that whoever caught the bride's bouquet, would be protected from evil intentions by a magic spell"
Knuckles seemed surprised and excited by the news he had already heard.
When Amy threw the bouquet into the sky, he was the first - and only one - who ran fast and jumped just to reach and grab it.
Amy seemed disappointed but shrug, while Sonic laughed a lot. But it looked like Knuckles didn't care.
An hour later the party was over and all the guests have made their way back home.
When Rouge opened the door of her bedroom in Club Rouge, couldn't hold back the astonishment.
The red roses and purple orchid bouquet was lying on her bedside table.
