Chapter 6 Heaven
Authors Note: Okay, I know I lied about the next chapter going up in 1-3 days, but please bear with me, I'm a procrastinator. Also, on the last chapter, I got a couple of flames, and some reviews with constructive criticism. Because of this I feel the need to apologize to some people.
1) I'm sorry to all Julie-Su fans for making her look bad. I really just needed someone who was in love with Knuckles to kidnap him. I probably should've used a fan character instead....
2) I'm truly very sorry to all you Sonic fans. I reread my chapters and realized that I was unnecessarily cruel to him. He was definitely out of character in this story, but that will change (considering he isn't in this chapter) I promise that in my upcoming stories I will not be mean to one person alone. I'll even make Shadow look bad (even though he's my favorite character) to show how much I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me.

===================================================================
Knuckles sat on the blanket by the lake, waiting for Rouge. He was in deep thought, so he didn't hear Rouge as she snuck up behind him. She tapped him on the shoulder, and he jumped in surprise.
"Who are you, and what-"Knuckles started to say, but then he realized who it was. "Oh, hi Rouge."
"Nice to see you too," she teased as she sat down on the blanket. Knuckles sat down next to her, and she leaned against him as she took in the beautiful sight. "How did you know exactly what time the sun would set?" she asked.
He shrugged. "Lucky guess," he replied with a smirk. That sat silently, and Knuckles thought back to when he first met Rouge. He remembered how it had been just the two of them, searching for the Master Emerald. They had been on separate sides of the world, but still working toward the same goal.
Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Rouge rested her head against Knuckles chest. She knew nothing would ever take him away from her. Of course, she HAD thought that the day before he was kidnapped.... She shook her head erasing those thoughts from her mind. That was over now, and it only mattered that they were together.
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We bin down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
Knuckles smiled. All his life he had been devoted to the Master Emerald and nothing else. He had never done anything for himself, the emerald had always been his top priority. Until now. Now Rouge was his top priority, she was all he wanted in his life. It was incredible to him that something he wanted so much could be in such close reach. Life had never been like that before. It was like heaven, having Rouge hear in his arms.
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Rouge closed her eyes. She knew that Knuckles was the kind of person you find once in your life. He had completely changed her world, in a good way though. She knew that nothing would ever change how much Knuckles meant to her, and she would stick by him no matter what.
Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Ya - nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
Knuckles thought about what he was going to do. Love was all he really needed in his life, and Rouge had showed it to him. He knew that he wanted to spend forever with Rouge, the hard part would be telling that to her.
N' baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
"Rouge could you stand up?" Knuckles asked, knowing what he was going to do. Rouge was confused, but she did anyway. Knuckles stood as well and took her hand in his "Rouge," Knuckles started, "I waited for love for a long time, and now I have you and I couldn't be happier. It's almost like a dream having you here with me. The thing is Rouge, I want you to know that I will always be standing by you for good times and bad times. Forever."
I've bin waitin' for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I'll be standin' there by you
Knuckles took a deep breath as he got down on one knee. "Rouge, will you marry me?"
Rouge looked at him in shock. This was so unreal, she couldn't believe it. At a loss for words, Rouge simply threw her arms around Knuckles's neck and kissed him.
"Is that a 'yes'?" he asked.
Rouge smiled, "Yes it is"
===============================================================
THE END
Ok if you are thinking "What kind of ending is that? What happens next?": Don't worry. There will be a squeal, called "A loss and a gain" which will hopefully be going up soon. You will be able to find it in the romance section, probably by July 5th at the very latest. Bu bye until then
