Knuckles the Echidna #26

Synopsis

Vector, Espio and Mighty hang out in a mall in Echidnaopolis, talking about how much they miss Charmy when Espio accidentally mentions that their friend is engaged to Saffron Bee. Vector is dumbfounded, complaining about girls while his friends teasingly suggest that he'd be a good match for Julie-Su if she wasn't interested in Knuckles. Meanwhile, Julie shoots a picture of Knuckles, frustrated that he ditched her the other day. She decides that she needs a life outside of Knuckles but is upset that she can't talk to him about her feelings. Meanwhile, Locke prepares breakfast for his son. Knuckles asks why boys and girls get together and explains his complicated relationship with Julie-Su. Locke realizes that Knuckles experienced the Soultouch and explains that it's a natural way of determining compatible couples, but without proper dedication relationships can still fall apart. Knuckles asks more questions, but Locke decides that he should reflect on his feelings before discussing things further.
