Knuckles gawked as he watched Flash disappear over the edge of the building. Suddenly Sonic came up to him and said, ""Heya Knuckles! I'm glad you weren't too hard to catch, I got somethin for ya," before placing a shard of the Master Emerald into his hand.
Knuckles looked into Sonic's eyes and growled, showing his irritant manner, "Thanks for getting me the Master Emerald Shard back, but if I knew what had happened to Angel Island I wouldn't be standing here now would I? The only thing I can remember about Angel Island is getting hit by a lightening bolt and losing the Master Emerald. That pink fox you're looking for though just took off from here. She said her name was Flash I think, so if you put two and two together she can probably use lightening bolts." Knuckles relaxed and put his free hand on Sonic's shoulder.
Grippingly it tightly he said, "Go catch that fox, get the Master Emerald shard back, and don't trip. I think she's using a Chaos Emerald so just out run her like you do everyone else. I'm going to stick around and make sure you didn't miss anything." Knuckles let go of Sonic's shoulder and turned away from Sonic before running the in direction Sonic had come from. When he reached the edge of the roof he jumped, caught a small gust of wind, and glided to the next to the one he was previously on. He landed on this building in a crouching position before turning around to look at Sonic once more. "I know we're not always friendly with each other, but get me this piece of Master Emerald and you can have all the chili dogs I can afford." Knuckles smirked at Sonic and gave him a thumbs up to seal the deal. He then ran to the edge of this second building, jumping off the concrete ledge, and landed on a blue and white tarp before bouncing onto the street below. When he got to the bottom finally he looked around and thought, "Central City hasn't changed much since I've last been here, but at least its not a flood plane."
Luna smiled as the taxi cab stopped in front of Amy's apartment complex. She slid of the roof of the taxi cab and walked around to the driver's side. She peered into the cab to and found the guy was a definite Sonic fan based on the giant plush Sonic doll in the back seat. Luna dug hear hand through the pockets of her cargo pants and pulled out a red yarn ball shaped wallet. She unzipped the top and dug through it until she'd counted out the change for the taxi driver. Handing over a large amount of small coins to him she said, "I know I said I'd pay you, but I'm not sure I have enough."
"This is fine," the taxi driver replied as he took the money from her hand. "Any friend of Sonic's is a friend of mine. You do realize you're in front of Amy Rose's home right?"
Luna turned her head to look at the apartment and said, "Oh, I am?" She realized she didn't know as much about Sonic the Hedgehog or his friends as she thought she did.
Luna shrugged and said, "Thanks for the notice, I know at the very least that Sonic might like Amy so I hope I don't make Amy mad while I wait for Sonic."
"I'm sure you'll do fine kid," the taxi cab driver said before pulling a cap he was wearing down over his brow. He smiled, put his foot on the pedal and rode off. Luna then turned around and looked at the large, intimidating building in front of her and whispered, "Here goes nothing..." She walked to the front door and knocked on it. Then she rang he door bell she found for extra measure. While she waited she rested her hands behind her back and twiddled her thumbs, trying to hide her nervousness. She knew from excerpts in the news that Amy had a rather nasty temper and because of this that is why Sonic could not confess his love to Amy. Truthfully though, she'd gotten this information backwards. Amy liked Sonic, but Sonic was often too shy to interact with Amy in the way she wanted to with him.
