The Day.

Before I begin remember that the characters belong to SEGA only.

I respect SEGA and the characters they made.

Reminder

If there is anything about this story that is wrong

Ages:

Knuckles: 21

Tikal: Well…. Let's just say 20 although it's probably over 1000 years old.

Chapter: 1

Knuckles sat at the altar with the master emerald, crying. "This isn't me" he thought. "WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS?" he yelled in his head. He then got up and in anger and confusion smashed his fists into the pillars surrounding the Master Emerald. Little did he know that he actually hit the master emerald. He then sat on the floor crying, again. Not noticing the light coming from behind him or Chaos appearing he continued crying. Tikal came out of the light starting to say "Who….." then she trailed off looking at the Red Echidna, crying still. She whispered to Chaos that it's ok and he could leave. Tikal slowly walked over to Knuckles and tapped him on the shoulder at the same time saying "Knuckles?" Knuckles look up tear-eyed and cursed under his breath as he thought that someone had seen him crying this whole time. Knuckles said weakly as he turned around "What?" he then saw Tikal and said "what are you doing here?" He then looked over her shoulder and saw the master emerald and said "Oops. Sorry." Tikal then said, "Its ok. But what were you crying about?" she said realizing that this was his first time crying. "Are you ok?" Tikal said. Knuckles still half-crying "Yeah. But I have this feeling but I don't know what it is." Knuckles sighed and then noticed how beautiful Tikal was. He didn't notice that he was staring at her. "Umm… Knuckles? What are you looking at?" Tikal said, then Knuckles said still staring at her in a daze "You look so beautiful" Knuckles then woke up from his daze and looked away as he was blushing. "What? You think I'm beautiful?" She said as she was blushing. "Yes." He whispered. Knuckles then turned to Tikal then kissed her. Tikal was shocked. She never knew her first kiss would be Knuckles. Tikal gave in and kissed him back. When Knuckles and Tikal pulled away, out of breath Knuckles was the first to speak up and say "I'm sorry" as he looked away and started crying again. He then said "You probably hate me now." As Knuckles started running away toward a river. Tikal was still shocked that Knuckles kissed her. But she then came to her senses and followed after Knuckles as she yelled "No Knuckles I'm sorry!" She stopped as she saw Knuckles crying by the river. She had never noticed how Handsome Knuckles was. She walked over to him, sat down next to him, and lifted his head and kissed him. Knuckles was shocked, that Tikal was kissing him. As he pulled away he again said "I'm sorry Tikal It's just that I was so lonely and… I just don't know!" Knuckles tried to say something else but he was cut off by Tikal kissing him on the lips again. Knuckles gave in and slid his tongue into her mouth slowly as she let him in. Knuckles and Tikal felt like it was hours but in reality it was just about ten minutes.
