Knuckles had so much treasure.
He'd been haggling and looting and winning it for two years now, tokens of his success.
However, there was nothing that he could do with it.
One day, he was guarding the master emerald, and a hazy figure appeared on the ground.
She was taller than him, and looked as if she'd come from that human kid's world, the annoying, possessive kid who DID NOT know how to leave Sonic alone.
"Hey," Knuckles said.
The woman looked down at him, scarlet red lips curling into a sweet smile. "Hello there, I'm Madonna, and you are...?"
Knuckles stared dumbly at the woman-- Madonna's face for a second, stuck by her absolute beauty before stammering "Erm-- I-I'm Knuckles, sorry for staring I swear I'm not actually objectifying you you're just really pretty heh"
"You're funny, echidna," Said Madonna. "Nice treasure you got here, and awesome emerald."
"Y-yeah!" Stammered out Knuckles. "Yeah, I actually guard this thing. You know. It's no big deal really, just 24/7 work hours, although I do get to go on adventures with my friend Sonic!"
"This Sonic fellow sounds blue, and quite quick," Said Madonna. "I'm going to write a song now, about echidnas. Thanks big fella." Knuckles default dances.
