Ezra Returns

Knuckles

Me and Espio waited for Nikki and Crazy to come back. "It's getting late." Espio said. I yawned. "Yeah, I hope nothing happened to her." I said concerned. Espio smirked. "Nikki? In trouble? Highly doubt it." He said. "You can go back to Vector and Charmy. I'll stay here and wait for Nikki." I said. "Ok, just keep on eye out for Scourge." He said. "I will." I said. He gave me a kiss goodnight and left. I stood there wait for awhile. "WATCH OUT!" Nikki yelled I jumped out of the way just in time. Nikki crashed into a tree and lost a tooth. "Are you ok Nikki?" I asked. She nodded her head. "I'm even better! Now I can get a visit from the tooth fairy!" She said excited. She started to set up a trap. "What are you-"

"BOO!" I jumped and turned around to find someone red. I grabbed Nikki by the wrist and started to run. "Wait! It's me Knuckles!" The person yelled. I stopped running and looked behind me to find Knuckles. "Nice going genius." Nikki said. "NOW LET ME GO!" She screamed. I let go of her wrist. "So... you're-

"I know, I know. I'm alive." I said. Knuckles just stood there not saying anything. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing. I just came to check up on you. Sonic told me that you were ba-"

"WHAT?! I told him NOT to tell!" I yelled. I facepalmed my self. "Calm down. He just told me and Shadow because he told us about what happened between you and Scourge." Knuckles said. "So I have bodyguards?" I asked. Knuckles smiled proudly. "Yep. I take the night shift and Shadow takes day shift." He said. "You do know that Nikki IS my bodyguard?" I asked. Knuckles smiled nervously. "No... speaking of the Devil, where is she?" Knuckles asked. We looked around for her. "Oh no, I hope nothing bad happens to her." I said grim. Knuckles patted me on the back. "I'm sure she's-"

"AH!" We ran over to where the scream came from. We saw Nikki dangling from her trap that she set p for the tooth fairy. Me and Knuckles laughed our heads off. "Haha, very funny. Now let me go." Nikki sad annoyed. Me and Knuckles got Nikki free from her trap. "Thanks." She said. "No problem kiddo." Knuckles said. "I was talking to Ezra, but you work to Knux." She said. Knuckles glared at her while she too started to laugh. Nikki yawned and jumped in my arms. "I'm tired. Let's go to sleep." She said. "I'll keep watch." Knuckles said. I leaned up against a tree and me and Nikki fell asleep.
