Knuckles the Echidna was feeding his pet dinosaur when the communicator at his primitive control panel went off.

"Aircraft to Knuckles, aircraft to Knuckles."

Knuckles raced to the radio. That was Sonia. As he picked up the receiver, he scanned the skies for the aircraft. There, directly ahead of him. "Sonia, I read you."

"Knuckles, we need your help," Sonia stated. "Request permission to land."

"Permission. There's a landing path right in front of you." Knuckles wondered what was going on. Was Robotnik up to something with a Chaos Emerald again. No matter, it would be good to see his friends, and her, again.

The small aircraft descended onto the landing path, the landing gear coming into place as it neared the ground. Like the expert pilot she was, Sonia brought the plane to perfect halt just yards from the Chaos guardian.

Knuckles ran forward to greet Sonia as she and a strange mink climbed out. "Sonia, what are you doing here? Where is Sonic and Manic? Are they okay?"

Sonia nodded and gave him a friendly hug. "Yes Knuckles they are okay. We need your help though. Do you mind if we hide here for a while?"

Knuckles shook his head. "We? You and your brothers right? Are they coming in a different plane? Who is this?"

Sonia realized Bartleby had come directly behind her and she reached back to hold him. "Knuckles, this is Bartleby. And no Sonic and Manic will not be coming. They don't know I'm here."

Knuckles was confused but held out a hand to Bartleby. "A new member of the Resistance huh? Welcome to the fight and to Angel Island."

Sonia noticed that Knuckles was failing to understand the situation. "No, Knuckles. Bartleby is my..."

"Her fiance," Bartleby interrupted eying the red echidna.

Knuckles felt his heart drop. "Fiance?"

"Yes, Knuckles. Bartleby and I have been together since we were kids. We were separated for a while after I found my brothers and joined the Freedom Fighters but, we've been unofficially back together since just a couple of weeks later," she explained. "But something has happened and we need a place to hide. From Robotnik and my brothers."

"What? Why?" Knuckles asked. "I'm sure they won't care who you choose to date. It's your life." Okay, he was feeling a little upset to learn the girl he had a crush on was already spoken for.

Sonia looked at Bartleby. "I should tell him."

The nobleman nodded. "Of course, my darling."

"Knuckles, I'm pregnant," Sonia stated simply.

Sonic and Manic could think of only one person who might be able to help them find Sonia.

"Hey Oracle!" Sonic called as he and Manic stepped through the magically-veiled cave. "We need your help!"

"In here, young hedgehogs," the voice of their mentor answered from deeper inside the cave.

In his cave, the seer pored through his research. "What brings you here today young ones? Is your sister not with you today?" That was strange. They always came to see him together.

"That's why we came to see you," Manic said. "Sonia's run away." He handed their teacher the letter and the medallion. "With some guy."

"And you're the only one we know who might be able to find her." Sonic was hopeful as the Oracle read the note.

"Hmm," the Oracle of Delphius considered the words in the letter. "I can try, but what will you do if you find her?"

"Bring her home, of course. Her and Bartleby," Sonic said. "Robotnik's gonna be after them too."

The Oracle nodded in understanding. "I will try." The letter glowed as the Oracle focused his magic on the missing sister. A few minutes passed before the glowing faded. "I am sorry, young hedgehogs, I could not locate the Princess. Somehow my magic is blocked."

The hedgehog brothers sighed in disappointment. "What do we do Orac?" Sonic asked. "We've looked everywhere and they could have gone anywhere if they had an aircraft and I wouldn't put it past Bartlebutt to have one."

"Perhaps, young ones, you ought to leave your sister be. She likely does not want to be found," the Oracle advised.

"But it makes no sense Orac," Sonic protested. "This just came up right out of nowhere. We heard Sleet and Dingo say Bartleby tried to buy a pardon for Sonia, from Robotnik, and said she wanted to leave the Resistance. That letter says that he wanted to join us. They can't both be true. We need to find her."

A green hand rest on his impulsive shoulder. "You need to let your sister make her own choices, Sonic. If she comes back, that has to be her choice."

Sonic looked at Manic. The Oracle was right, as usual.

Robotnik was having a terrible time with this perplexing riddle that Sleet and Dingo had brought before him. He was most disappointed that he couldn't even blame them for it. If Bartleby was not there, then they certainly couldn't catch him and bring him in.

"So, Bartleby thinks he can make a fool of Dr. Robotnik does he," Robotnik intoned. "Sleet! Dingo! Put Bartleby on the Most Wanted List! Have the people know that Sir Bartleby Montclair of Dresdin is but a spineless traitor to the regime."

"And," Sleet said. "How much should we say is the reward for his capture?"

"10 million mobiums!"

Dingo thought. "Hey that's what he was gonna pay you, isn't it?"

"Do you ever wonder what life would be like if you'd had enough oxygen at birth?" Sleet quipped. "Don't worry sire, we will find them."

"And that's the whole story," Sonia said as she, Bartleby and Knuckles sat around his fire. Bartleby was looking amusingly out of his element in his nice suit. "I tried to tell Sonic and Manic but, they just can't stand Bartleby for some reason." She cried as she thought about her brothers' attitudes about the man she loved. His hand took hers, squeezing it supportively. "If they knew about the baby, they would take me away from Bartleby and hide me. They would never let us be together. And we want to be together, Knuckles."

Knuckles watched the two in front of him. He was still put out by the revelation that Sonia had a lover and was having his baby but he had been watching the other man closely. As ridiculous as he looked wearing that fancy suit in the middle of a jungle, he really seemed to care about Sonia. "Well, I think you're not giving your brothers enough credit but the two, three, of you are welcome to stay here as long as you want. It'll be nice to have some company for a change. And I think I might also know a cave that you can use as a house."

Sonia sighed. "Thank you Knuckles."

"A cave?" Bartleby asked.

"Remember when I suggested sleeping bags," she smiled at him. She watched his face change noticeably as he realized they'd be sleeping on the ground. "It's not too late Bartleby. You don't have to live like this."

Bartleby kissed her. "No, when I cancelled that payment, I put myself on Robotnik's list. And even if it hadn't, this is what I want. I'm not thrilled with the idea of sleeping on the ground, but I'm sure it won't be so bad. But will it be okay for you and the baby?"

She smiled. He was so sweet to sleep on the ground for her. She just hoped he would be able to handle the harsh, primitive life they had ahead of them. She was about to say so when a large yawn vetoed that idea. "Sorry, I guess I'm a little sleepy."

"And it's no wonder, driving all night, you haven't slept in twenty-four hours," the mink stated.

Knuckles stood up. "Why don't we go find that cave then."

AN: I know you're thinking, are you mad? Doesn't Knuckles have a thing for Sonia? Well, you see that is the idea. And no Bartleby is not going to stay this "perfect." Right now, they're in honeymoon mode. Problems are on the horizon.
