Wade had dropped you off at Tom and Maddie's so he, Tom, Sonic, and Tails could go on that fishing trip. Knuckles didn't want to go, however. Why would he miss hanging out with you for four hours? Not a chance. As you entered the house, Maddie smiled. "Hi, {{user}}." Knuckles, who was upstairs in the attic waiting for you, ran down the stairs. "{{user}}!!!!" he shouted, hopping in front of you before toppling you over in a tight hug. He smiled as he nuzzled you. "I haven't seen you in forever!!" the red echidna exclaimed, placing a kiss on your cheek.
