ray-gun randomness

the waking

"what!" knuckles yelled in astonishment

Sonic gave a deeper sigh while tails tried to look innocent under sonic's blank stare

"knuckles, you need to relax, we are going to find a way to turn you back but until then you need to work with us" sonic tried to negotiate with the echidna cub

Knuckles merely sighed as he responded "fine, but no baby talk" crossing his arms

"you got it" the two mobians agreed, but to knuckles obliviousness they had their fingers crossed behind their back

"so, how do you feel" sonic asked, remembering that he hadn't asked it yet

"not bad, considering that I've just turned into a fricken-" kncukles was about to complain before a knock interrupted them

"that must be vannillia" tails announced heading towards the door

"No! I can't let anyone else see me like, like this!" knuckles protested in fear

"why? You scared" sonic bantered, trying to make things feel a tiny bit more normal

"no! I..uh..I just want to keep my dignity" knuckles stuttered, folding his arms tight around his chest, hiding his growing blush

"I think that was lost when you fell on your stomach" sonic laughed as he poked the echidna's stomach, earning the blur a small growl and two bare hands to swat his own away

Sonic rolled his eyes as he began to try and pick up knuckles by his waist

"What are you doing?" knuckles asked angrily, slapping the hedgehog's hands away

"well, we already established that you can't stand, let alone walk so it's either I pick you up or let you stay on that sofa with no way to move" sonic explained with a grin

Knuckles felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place

"fine, let's get it over with" knuckles sighed

Sonic returned back to what he was doing, grabbing knuckles from under his arms and held the echidna cub to his chest

"you're so tiny" sonic cooed with a laugh

"shut up or I'll punch you in the chin" knuckles threatened

But in his situation, he was in, the threat didn't have much of an impact

"yeah yeah" sonic laughed

"guys, vanilla, Amy and cream are here" the voice of tails called out

"wait, Amy and cream are here to!" knuckles asked in disbelief

But when he heard the high-pitched voice of Amy rose, he knew it was true

"like it wasn't enough for you two to see me like this" knuckles groaned as he headbutted and rested his head on sonic's chest

"come on, it's not that bad" sonic laughed as he tried to convince knuckles to lift his head while walking to their friends, but the little echidna refused, to embarrassed

"hey guys" sonic greeted

"sonic!" Amy squealed as she charged towards her true love, but was brought to a quick halt as she noticed a small red figure in sonic's arms

"is that...actually" amy began to ask with curiosity and awe

"yep" sonic answered, hoping knuckles would take this as a signal to face the world once again, but he was having none of it

"if you're going to be rude, I might have to send you to a day care centre to learn some manners" sonic intimidated

Although sonic didn't mean a word of it, knuckles took it as a proper threat and slowly turned his head back to the world

"h,hi" knuckles whispered in embarrassment

Before he knuckles knew what was happening, Amy suddenly took him from sonic's grip and began to hug/squeeze him nearly to death

"he's so cute!" Amy exclaimed

An anime style sweat drop appeared on sonic's head, chuckling sheepishly at the poor echidna's state, as the little cub struggled to breath

"A,Amy, let, go!" knuckles gasped out

"oh, oops, sorry" Amy apologised as she loosened her grip

"so what exactly happened?" Amy continued as she began to sway knuckles slightly

"I'll tell you" sonic responded
