Knuckles and Amy continued to date in secret. They were able to disguise gym trips, grocery runs, and bike rides as "not dates". Sonic had no idea. However, time was ticking, and ticking fast!

"We have got to tell Sonic," Amy pleaded with Knuckles, "I don't want to hold this secret much longer. It's not fair to us, and it's not fair to Sonic." Knuckles shook his head shocked. "NOT FAIR TO SONIC?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!?!!" Amy gently took Knuckles's hand and looked at him in the eyes. "He lives here, sweety. Thus meaning he deserves to know. Plus he's our friend."

Just working on things to help the battle against Eggman!" Amy said loudly and awkwardly. Sonic nodded, smiling. He was happy with the "news", even though it was all false. "Great. Can't wait to see them. Oh, Knuckles and Amy. Could I speak with you in the kitchen? Thanks!"

He exited. Knuckles and Amy looked at each other, then at Tails.

"He knows..."
