"Oh. Riiiight. You told me that," Sonic said.
Knuckles scoffed.

'Maybe the winds messing with your head..." she saw a small coastline

Knuckles glanced at Sonic, who glanced back at him. They both smirked, then Knux turned to Pearl. "What about your head?"

"who knows...maybe its something else...like Infinte's Ruby interacting with the other stone" thegem pulsed iwhen the Phantom ruby was metioned

"That Phantom Ruby's a fake," Knuckles said, folding his arms, sliding down in the seat, and closing his eyes. he paused to get his thoughts in order. "Kinda like back when Eggman tried making fake Chaos Emeralds; they were waeker the the real thing, but they still worked. Also," He continued. "Also, they were kinda fraglie too. That makes me think that what ever that thing is," He looked up and gestured to the lead box. "I think it's also fake,"

"You sure....it seems pretty real to me..." the gem pulsed as if annoyed at Knux..."I don't think it likes you"

(It be aAluve)

"And I don't like it," Knuckles growled.
Sonic sighed.
"Either way," Knuckles huffed. "You can't really tell just by looking at it. Heh, Even I have trouble distinguishing a real Emerald from a fake."

"Well one way you could try to tell is throwing it on the ground,fake ones break.Real ones don't"

"I suggested breaking it like ten times!!" Knuckles exclaimed, exasperated. Sonic chuckled at the echidna's antics.

"you couldave told me you thougth it was a fake..i would have let you then"
