Kosmic: I know all of you have been waiting and I would like to say I am sorry. I would like to make some things clear real quick. First off, I do not type long chapters. I have reasons for not typing a lot of on one chapter. Second I am trying my best to type to earn a spot in typist or writer, this and all my other stories is practice. Well that is all I have to say.

The Party

Tails was setting up some party lights up in a tree, as Sonic ran up. Sonic held to big bags with snakes and soda. "Sonic you can put all of that on the table next to my garage." Tails said to Sonic as he did so quickly.

"So Tails you invited everyone correct?" Sonic asked his busy buddy. Tails climbed down the tree as a small robot bird flew down. "Let me check to see if my message carrying bird did." Tails said as he checked. He gave Sonic thumbs up saying yes.

"That is great Tails. I wonder how everyone is doing now a day." Sonic asked as Amy and Cream walked up with big bags.

"Tails where would you like these bags?" Amy asked as Tails points out where Sonic set his bags. "Thank you Amy and Cream for helping us set the party up." Tails said in a smile.

Amy and Cream put there bags down onto the table as Sonic gave Amy a quick kiss on her cheek. Cream giggled when Amy blushed from the kiss. "It has been really different ever sense Sonic stop running away from you Amy." Cream said as Amy nods to Cream comment.

"Tails is there anything else you need me to shop for? This is all the party supplies so I am taking it you need party snakes." Amy said as Tails nods his head.

"That would be great Amy. We could use some candy and snake foods. Pick anything out if you want." Tails said as he reached for his credit card. "Take my credit card; I don't want you to waste your entire money o the party ok." Tails said as Amy happily agreed.

"Come on Cream lets get shopping!" Amy yelled out as Cream followed Amy down the hill. Sonic watched as Amy ran off.

"Sonic stop staring at Amy and help me here." Tails said snapping Sonic out of his little trance. "Yea hold on to your horses I am coming." Sonic said as Eggman rocket car was heard coming close to Sonic and Tails.

"Eggman what is up the party doesn't start just yet." Sonic said, as Eggman got closer. "To tell you the truth I am coming by only to see what you two are doing for the party. Doesn't look that bad, but something is telling me something is missing." Eggman said as Tails just shakes his head.

"Eggman we are just starting, we can't just have everything ready all at once." Tails said making Eggman feel a bit guilty. "Sorry I didn't mean to get you angry. Need any help setting up?" Eggman said rubbing the back of his head.

"Well if you want to you can set up the wiring for the lights and speakers. Just don't over due it and make something explode." Tails said as Eggman nods as he starts to lands his jet car.

"With all Amy, Cream, and Eggmans help this party can start even sooner Tails." Sonic said to Tails in a smile.

"I agree Sonic, I still can not believe after all those years that you have fought Eggman, he would just turn to our side for good." Tails said as Eggman gets out of his jet car. "What could I say I was tired of losing, I want to win once in awhile so what better reason to win is to be on your side? It is working I am getting a lot of respect fixing things." Eggman said in his smile.

Later of that day

Shadow and Rouge were the first two to show up. Rouge walked up to the punch and filled two cups. "I hope you enjoy the punch Rouge." Amy said walking up to Rouge.

Rouge jumped a little from Amy coming up behind her. "Amy doesn't sneak up on me like that. I will enjoy, looks great so far." Rouge told Amy making her smile.

Sonic walked up to Shadow and pat him on his back. "Looks like we both what we wanted." Sonic said making Shadow have a questioning look. "What do you mean by that Sonic?" Shadow asks as Sonic burst out laughing.

"Come on we both got two very nice looking girls. You have Rouge and I have Amy. It is the greatest thing to have a girl." Sonic said as Shadow just shakes his head.

Vector and his gang walked up and gave a smile. "The party is looking great!" Vector shouted out as Tails walks up. "Vector do us all a favor and not shout. Just enjoy the party ok." Tails said to Vector who does not seem to be listening to him.

More and more guest appeared some Sonic and Tails do not know. "Sonic who are all of these people?" Tails ask as Sonic looked at him. "I guess are friends decided to tell other people about our party. Give me some money and I will get more food for everyone ok." Sonic told Tails who gave Sonic his credit card.

Sonic ran off quickly and returned in no time at all. Sonic put two bags down then ran off again. Sonic left then came back several times. "This should hold everyone Tails." Sonic told Tails who seems a bit more pleased.

Two hours pass as some people have left and some join. Sonic was looking through a couple of people as if he was looking for someone. "Are you looking for me Sonic?" Amy said to Sonic walking up behind him.

"No not really Amy, I am looking for Knuckles. I know he is the guardian of the master emerald, but he should have some fun once in awhile." Sonic told Amy in a sad face as Shadow over heard Sonic conversation.

"Well I give Knuckles one thing. He has a responsibility and he will not give up on that. Give it a thought if you had one soul duty and you cannot do that anymore duty what would you do? Knuckles will not give up and he will always guard that emerald until he dies." Shadow said butting in to Sonic conversation.

"Yea you are right, I was just hoping to see him here that's all. I don't want him to be all alone all the time." Sonic said as both Amy and Shadow look at the ground understanding.

As if an angel heard Sonic, Knuckles walked up holding a small bag with him. "Knuckles you made it!" Sonic yelled and ran up to Knuckles.

"Sorry no time Sonic the Master Emerald showed me something. It is something I must do. I need all seven of the chaos emeralds and I know Shadow and Tails has one." Knuckles said to Sonic who shook his head.

"I will Tails to hand over his emerald if you hang out and just have fun." Sonic said as Knuckles was slowly losing his anger. Shadow walked up to Knuckles and handed him the emerald he had.

"I heard what you said but I want to know what you're going to do the all seven chaos emerald. Having all seven emeralds means something big is going to happen." Shadow said staring right in Knuckles eyes.

Knuckles gave a smirk to Shadow as he closes his eyes. "All I can tell you is life has full of twists. If you want to know the whole story, come to my island tomorrow after noon." Knuckles said as he sees Tails goes into his home.

"See you guys I need to talk to Tails." Knuckles said leaving Sonic puzzled face. "What is Knuckles up to?" Sonic asks as Shadow eyes followed Knuckles. "What ever it is, it is going to affect all of us." Shadow mumbles only to where Sonic could hear him.

Knuckles entered Tails home seeing Tails go into his fridge near his window where a flower blooming in a pot. "Hey Tails I need your chaos emerald. It is important that I have it. The master emerald showed me something that must be done." Knuckles said grabbing his attention.

"Oh hi there Knuckles. The chaos emerald, how long do you need it for? I need it for the upgrade to my new jet." Tails asks as Knuckles walks up to him. "Well for at least tomorrow afternoon. Come by then and I promise to return it to you plus giving you a great gift for missing out on this party." Knuckles said to Tails who just smiles.

"Ok give me a second to get it ok." Tails said as Knuckles smiles and nods. Once Tails leaves the room Knuckles quickly grabbed the flower in the pot and put it in his bag. Unknown to Knuckles Rouge was watching him.

What are you up to Knuckles? Taking that flower that reminds Tails of Cosmo. This is unlike you Knuckles. Rouge thought as Tails renters the room where Knuckles was waiting.
