Rouge was feeling a little grimy. She'd been gliding around the edge of the island trying to see if she could find a way out. Despite her excellent detective skills, she came up empty-handed. A little disgruntled and sweaty, she figured a nice bath was in order.

She entered the girls' bath with a pink towel around her chest, which covered enough of her to avoid being considered indecent. After putting her nightie and slippers in a locker, without modesty, she removed her towel and flung it to the side. She placed her bath soap along the edge of the pool and gently settled into the warm water.

"Ahh, this feels nice," she said to herself. "A good way to end a frustrating day of futility."

Sorry, Knuckles. You got the Whammy.

"Excuse you?" Wave asked, sitting naked in the bath, just giving him a look that screamed 'fed up with this shit'.

~~Please explain to me the scientific nature of the "whammy"~~

Rouge, on the other hand, was quite excited to see him. With his shoes off, he was quite a hunk, she couldn't deny it. And he must be soooooo embarraaaassed...!

"Oh, look who it is! Hey, handsome. You seem lost. But now that you're here, want to come sit next to me?" She "patted" the water, inviting him over with a devious smile.

"....ohhhh snap."

So, there were two naked girls. That was.... uh. That was a thing he hadn't been expecting.

For a guy who was so good at finding treasure, he wasn't always the most aware of his surroundings.

"This isn't what it looks like!" he said, raising up his bare hands in a placating gesture and closing his eyes tight. "I'll see myself out..."

He tried to climb out of the bath. Easier said than done with eyes squinted so hard that he was seeing stars. He missed the edge and just kind of... floundered for a moment before knocking his head on the side of the tub and going under.

It was quite a difference, missing gloves and shoes made to make him look even cuter.

~~No it wasn't.~~

But it sure looked like he stumbled upon some great treasures already. Wave sighed when he went under, rubbing the bridge of her beak. She grabbed his arms and pulled him up and out of the water. He was a lot heavier than he looked. "So much for peace and quiet," she remarked.

"PFFFF!" Rouge couldn't help but chuckle at Knuckles' misadventure. So funny when he's flustered!

She stood up in the water and approached the two, fully and gleefully aware of how exposed she was above the water. Normally she'd be a little bit shy about it, but she felt comfortable in her present company. Comfortable enough to know her nakedness would either be shrugged off or cause hilarious awkwardness.

"You don't have to run off so fast, honey," she said as she took his arm and pulled him ~~away from Wave~~ closer. "We're all friends here, and you look like you could use a proper cleaning anyway."

Knuckles blinked hot water out of his eyes as best as he could - had he gone under? Seemed that way. His head was swimming like he'd just been knocked on the head by a Shellcracker.

He looked at Wave and then at Rouge and then realized they were both kind of holding him up out of the water (Probably so he didn't drown.~~No-one liked that music.~~) and all three of them were less than clothed.

"....oh geeze."

He flushed even brighter and closed his eyes again. "I'm sorry if I saw anything! Which I didn't! But if I did, I'd be sorry about it!"

Dat bat' house, doe...

I'm so sorry for this

Rouge must be in here a long time to see all these people in one night

Girl likes her baths, apparently!

Wave's a bird, I don't know what Rouge's excuse is.

It's good for her skin, maybe?

Probably!
