"I don't understand. Why am I angry at the enemy ball?" Knuckles asked, turning the baseball bat in his hands, full of confusment, as if hit with Confuse Ray.

"You're not angry," Sonic said. "You just want to hit the ball as hard as you can."

"But if I hit the ball," Knuckles started, making you laugh, "Then where does my quest end?"

Maddie chuckled. "This is just a game, we're out here to have fun!!" "Just out to have fun!" Tom repeated. "Just keep your eye on the ball and give it a ride." "A ride?" Knuckles asked. "To where?" Tails smiled competitively. "Hope you're ready for my fastball!"

"Your fastball will be dishonored, and so will you, Fox!!" Knuckles replied, getting the bat ready.

Tails pitched his fast ball, making Knuckles shout, "Power bump!!" and obliterated the baseball with a punch. Your eyes widened. You knew Knuckles was strong, but seriously?! "I think that was our only ball..." Tom muttered. Knuckles threw the baseball bat into the dirt and began to run the four bases. "I have conquered the first of bases!" Tails looked baffled and upset. "Hey, that's not fair!" he said.

"The second base is mine!!"

"Third base is also mine!!"

Maddie smiled. "Who wants some ice cream?"

Knuckles smiled, making your heart melt. You held a hand over your heart as Knuckles said, "I am having the fun!! What is ice cream?"

"It's a dessert," Sonic explained. "And if you love fun, you'll love ice cream."

"Oh, yum, dessert." Knuckles said, rubbing his belly slightly. "Does it have grapes in it?" The disappointment was real when Sonic said no.

Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, you, Tom, and Maddie walked up to the pickup truck. Knuckles chuckled and jumped into the bed of the truck, making it rattle. "Ah, my victory chariot!"

Knuckles looked at Sonic. "Sonic, I have just been informed that they have sprinkles!!" Knuckles' fist tapped the truck, showing his Pitbull energy. He's so adorable. 🥹
