Shortcake was groggy from the anaesthesia, and on a wheelchair. She was bandaged and had been well-taken care of, even though she still looked something of a mess. And then Dr. Cid blew past, and the wheelchair fell over. "I-I c-can p-paa---" Crash, squeak of pain.

And resisting the urge to go after the doctor and puthim through a wall, Knuckes scurried over to SC and carefully righted her chair. "...Are you all right?" he asked.

"You're not slowing me up at all, see?" he said, pulling out the three emerald shards from this area...and then quickly putting them away when he noticed that one was still stained with blood, the one RK had been using to stab her with. "Er...anyway, you just get some rest. I need to go call a friend of mine anyway so we can get a ride back to the island."

"C-can y-you c-call y-your fr-friend fr-from h-here, muu?" little hedgehog pleaded, looking up at him with puppy eyes. Then, slightly quieter, "I-it's sc-scary i-in h-here a-alone, muu... th-that d-doctor k-kept n-narrating e-everything I-I d-did i-in th-the re-recovery r-room, muu..." "The little hedgehog begged him not to abandon her!" narrated the midget girl, some feet away.

Knux growled before grabbing and throwing a nearby (empty) bedpan at the annoying girl. [dice=6] Then he turned back to SC. "Yeah, I think I can...if I can find a phone," he said, looking around.[rand=673133929806135478274631052571922427536972975114540297981334029353]

[dice=6] "Angrily, he threw a bedpan at the human - only to have her catch it!" and catch it she did. "Also, there's a phone right here." She pointed to it. "The human, unphased by his bedpan throwing, picked up the phone and held it out in his direction." AND SHE DID THAT. "Muu..."[rand=564758017467133261538749399789642989847169790253379854382229364]

Shooting another glare at the girl, Knux then proceeded to dial the phone...and then tried again...then again before growling in fustration at his hands before carefully putting in the numbers with the tip of one of his knuckle spikes. "You'd better be there, Tails," he growled to himself.

And soon, after a few seconds of waiting, the call was received. "Tails speaking. Who is this?" came the fox's voice.

"Hey Tails, it's Knuckles." Knuckles answered. "I need a favor."

There was a very long pause on the line. ... "... KNUCKLES?!" Tails exclaimed, quite suprised at who it was. After all, the guy lived alone on a freaking floating landmass. "It's good to hear from ya. What kind of favor would you ever want from me?" he asked. He still sounded a bit shocked that Knuckles knew how to use a phone was calling him. That would have meant that the echidna was probably on the mainland.

"Well...I need a ride for me and a friend back to Angel Island. Think you can help me out?"

Well... Tails at least half expected that a need of transportation was the case, though the 'and a friend' bit caused the fox's eyebrows to arch. "Sure thing, I'll warm up the Tornado 2. Where are you at?"

"Grand Metropolis General Hospital," Knuckles told him, "She and I'll be waiting outside the emergancy room entrance. How long do you think you'll be?"

Even though it was a phone he was speaking into, Knux could probably FEEL the wide grin speading across the fox's muzzle. "I'll only be a couple of minutes." he replies, sounding oddly... light. And then that lightness broke down into hastilly smothered giggles, "I can't wait to see your girlfriend!" And then the fox disconnected.

And anyone looking at him would see Knux go COMPLETELY red right then. "WHAT!? NO...she's not...I mean she's a friend...but not...girlfriend....ARRRGH!" He sputtered, the last bit being when he realized that Tails had hung up.

Shortcake squeaked and went nearly as red as Knuckles did, hiding her face in her fingers. "Muu..." After a few minutes passed, the blush had faded. "H-he w-won't t-tease, w-will h-he...?" her voice was oddly constricted. And then, as an afterthought, "I-I'm y-your fr-friend, muu?"

"He won't tease," Knuckles assured her, adding under his breath, "...not if he knows what's good for him."

Her heart sank. I guess not.She was quiet for a few moments, watching the clock, apparently fascinated. Then she stared at her feet, cheeks tinged red out of sudden and inexplicable embarassment. "Y-you've b-been v-very k-kind t-to m-me, M-mister G-guardian. I-I r-really ap-appreciate i-it, muu. Pl-please l-let m-me k-know i-if th-there's e-ever a-anything I-I c-can d-do i-in r-return."

It was then that they heard the sounds of a plane. As the noises died down, they heard footsteps, and soon enough, An 11 year-old fox walked into the hospital. He easilly spotted Knuckles, seeing as he was the only red echidna on the planet, and walked over. "Hey Knuckles. Nice hat." Tails greeted, eyes scanning about for anyone else. When he saw Shortcake next to Knuckles, he got a very odd look on his face. First of all, it wasn't Rouge. Secondly, she didn't look like his type. Thirdly.... she looked like she was his own age abouts. Tails opened his mouth, then closed it again. He probably would have said what he was going to say to anyone else, but with Knuckles... Tails didn't really feel hungry enough for a knuckle sandwich. "Uhm... hi there. I'm Tails." he said to Shortcake, trying to break the ice. He still had that 'you should be ashamed of yourself' look directed at Knuckles. Must not tease, must not tease, must not tease... the fox chanted to himself.

Knuckles didn't say anything, he just gave Tails a look that meant that if he strayed too far away from simple introductions, he might find himself shoved up to his tails in the Tornado's exhaust pipe.

Shortcake was in a wheelchair, so she couldn't hide behind Knuckles. Rather, she looked awkwardly at Tails, fidgeting a little as best she could. "Um.. h-hi.. I-I'm S-shortcake... n-nice t-to m-meet y-you, muu..." she looked at Knuckles for help, ears flattened back a little.

Tails smiled back. "Shortcake huh? It's nice to meet you... though I didn't expect you to be in a wheelchair." he frowned slightly, "Knuckles, the Tornado 2 isn't big enough to fit a clunky wheelchair in it, let alone the three of us."

Knuckles frowned, thinking for a moment. "All right...then Tails, you go ahead and take Shortcake on ahead, and I'll catch up with your at the island."

Shortcake looked rather alarmed at this. "B-but, M-mister G-guardian!" she protested, looking terrified. Please don't leave me alone with him she asked him with her eyes, giving him a pleading gaze.

But for Shortcake, it seemed like she had no other choice. "Alright then. I'll see you later Knuckles. I'm gonna drop her off at Marble Gardens, okay?" the fox then grabbed the wheelchair, and began to wheel Shortcake out to the Tornado 2.

"It'll be alright Shortcake," Knux called after them, "Tails is a great pilot, he'll tkae good care of you!" he said, secretly praying that Tails had brought a version of that plane that actually stayed in the air more than five minutes.

She whimpered, looking between Knuckles and Tails with her ears flattened back and her eyes wide. DOOM.

But it was too late, Knuckle had already left the ER and was heading down the sidewalk away from them.
