Knuckles sat upon his shrine, doing his most important job that any echidna would be fortunate to have, protecting the master emerald. Although he wouldn't say he does not, not like his job, he would admit it t could get quite boring sometimes, but being the last echidna of his tribe, it was his sacred duty that he would die to do

Crack

The sound of a twig being broken took knuckles out of his thoughts and caused his head to turn and his body into a fighting position, readying his spikes to strike

"Well hello to you too knuki," said a sweet seductive voice

Which to knuckles annoyance, he recognised

"What do you want rouge" knuckles sighed, still not putting his spikes away

"Oh nothing, just looking around, the trees are quite beautiful this time of year" rouge sighed happily, coming closer to the echidna

"There are trees elsewhere, "knuckles said, he knew rouge quite well now, she used sweet talk to get anything she wanted, but knuckles weren't in the mood to play her games, nor was he that gullible anymore

"Aww, are you not happy to see me," she said poking her face to her cheek in sad wonder

"Enough, I know you're here to try and get the master emerald AGAIN, but like always it's not going to happen," knuckles said angrily

"Ok ok, jeez, don't get your spikes in a spin, what I really came for is you" rouge sighed, slightly cursing his straightforwardness

"And why're that" knuckles questioned, was it another mission or was it just her trying to trick him

"Sonics throwing a party for bonfire night," she said

This made knuckles drop his hands slightly, not because he was actually being invited to things but because he had no idea what a "bonfire night" was

"So, are you coming," rouge asked excitedly, hoping he would do it

Knuckles gave one last look to the master emerald, one night of fun wouldn't be too bad, he usually left it a little longer when he went hunting for treasure, plus he was able to sense if it was in danger quite far away now, although it wasn't ideal

"Fine, but this better not be a trick" knuckles agreed/warned

Rouge face was filled with delight, a real delight

"Great, it's at sonics house at 5, don't be late," she said as she flew away, she gave one last look towards the red echidna, boy he has no idea of what was going to happen tonight

according to tails clock that he had given knuckles so he could properly tell the time instead of just staring at the sun, he decided to head off, giving one last look at the master emerald and then jumping off the edge of his island, gliding towards sonics house

It didn't take long as it was along the beach, although sonic didn't like the water, he loved the sun and the space to run

Knuckles was about to knock on the door before it was instantly yanked by a person from the other side

"Knuckles! About time!" Yelled the host himself, sonic looked really excited for some reason but knuckles weren't allowed the time to think as he was pulled in and the door shut behind him

"I know rouge said you were coming, but I didn't actually think you would leave your fortress of solitude" laughed sonic as he hooked his arm over knuckles' neck

"Yeah, I was curious as to what a bonfire night was" knuckles replied happily

Silence

"What ?!" Exclaimed sonic unhooking his arm and standing in front of the confused echidna
