So I'm kinda stalking your ffics right now cause school bores me XD

My thoughts on this fic?

Completly awesome, I love the OVA Knux and I love how well you can write him :D Actually I love how well you write everyone, serious XD

Hmm...kinda prefer a more aloof version of Knuckles myself, considering that Tails kind of already has the close friend role and I couldn't help but wonder WHY Knuckles had a hat in the OVA. Still, each to one's own I guess.

As for the fic itself, it's a bit hard to get a sense of the plot-not that a oneshot really needs one IMO, but in this case, it kind of hovers between being being plot based or not. The interaction was okay-Knuckles' dialogue felt a bit heavy at times, but I suppose it suits his character. Anyway, for apparently your first STH fic, this was quite well written.

Aw. How sweet You write OVA Knux really well. I liked the OVA versions of the Sonic characters a lot better than they depicted them in Sonic X. Knuckles seemed much nicer. The part in the movie I always found interesting was when the president asked, "Who are you," and Kunckles says "I'm Knuckles, Sonic's best friend." That surprised me, since I was used to Sonic X Knux, Mr. Too-Tuff to care about anyone. I love the way you depicted him though. Very sweet _

*clasps hand to heart* I... I could cry, I love this so much! Knuckles was always my first or second favorite (Sonic being first or second, depending on my moods), and to see someone portray him so nobly is just like giving me a giant cup of chocolate pudding with whipped cream and a cherry on top! I. Love. You. *hugs*

Wow. I'm in shock here.

Shizuku, are you SURE this is the first Sonicverse fic you've written? Seriously? Cuz it doesn't seem that way. At all.

This was amazing, and perfectly in-character for both Sonic AND Knuckles. Thanks for writing this, it really made me smile.

:D Knucklehead and the Blue Blur's friendship is one of my favorite things to read about, and accordingly this deserves a Top 10 Spot in my faves list. Well written, well executed, and well done! -Nixi

PS - You read almost EVERY SINGLE ONE of my fics, so I'm gonna read every single one of yours. Lookin' forward to that! x3

Sonic-Knuckles-friendshippers... still my favorite! :)

No worries, you got the characters alright. I just wondered... is your Knuckles wearing that hat? I always found it suits him kinda; the hat and the sunglasses, although after the hat got fried in the movie, he'd need a new one. *grin*

The setting of the story stays a little unclear, we get thrown into an ongoing confrontaion at Eggman's lab, the plot behind it is only hinted at by the characters while they speak, making it a little hard for the reader to fully know what's going on (What did Eggman do before? Why's Knuckles heading for his lab?...). I'd say fit a sentence or two of 'situation discription' to the beginning and you're perfectly fine. Just a little pointer, it's not bad at all.

The story was fun to read, I especially liked the playful interaction in the end; and Eggman taking flight ;)

Greetings, Speedy
