My cartoon and video game theories

Knuckles and Rouge

Though he may not show it Knuckles loves to hang out with Rouge when ever she drops by Angel Island. Part of this comes from her cat women like personality, playing both the good and bad side. Even in the hand book it says she may be a potential love interest.

When ever they hang out on Angel island Rouge likes to braid knuckles quills, if he'll let her of if he's in a good mood.

Rouge every so often comes to check up on Knuckles at Angel Island, or when she needs a good talk. Sometimes she'll come by and he'll be asleep. She stays there and watches over him and the Master Emerald. She's pretty much given up stealing it by now. The first time this happened Knuckles ask why she didn't steal or just fly away. She simply replied, "Well someone has to watch over that Emerald of yours you Knuckle head." And flew off embarrassed.

Long theory short, Knuckles and Rouge have soft spots for each other.
