《 Valentine's Day 2024 Special 》
Gwen yawns as she slowly wakes up the following morning. She turns to see Sonic and Tails still dozing off before noticing Knuckles snuggled up next to her. Her eyes widen when she notices that it's Valentine's Day and there's a calendar on the wall next to her. She slowly rolls out of bed and makes her way downstairs to the kitchen, beaming. When she gets started before her family wakes up, this causes the dog, Ozzie, to perk up and wag his tail in delight. She is taking out the ingredients for baking and cooking.
After an hour, the Wachowski family eventually awakens to the scent of something delectable coming from the kitchen. When they go there, they discover that Gwen has already completed all of her food and sweets. as she hands Ozzie a heart-shaped cookie and takes out a few dishes and cutlery. She smiles when she sees they are awoken.
"Happy Valentine's Day, guys."
"Aww! Gwen! Did you do all of these?" Maddie said in awe.
"I gotta say, that's pretty impressive." Tom commented, nodding.
"Well, I wanted to show my appreciation and my love for you all." Gwen smiled bashfully.
"Aww, sis! Bring it in!" Sonic cooed, hugging her.
Tails gladly joins the hug and Knuckles then hugs them as well.
"Well, let's eat." Maddie declared, ready to dig in.
"I'll get some drinks for you guys." Tom said, heading to the fridge.
Talking and laughing, everyone happily savors their Valentine's Day meal. Gwen puts some leftovers in the basket after everyone has finished eating. She walks over to the door, and Knuckles and Maddie notice.
"Where are you going?" Maddie asked.
"To give some Valentine's Day cookies and other desserts to Wade and others." Gwen said.
"That's sweet. But do you have to go? I can drive you there." Tom offered.
"I'm good. Got my motorcycle with me. I'll be back." Gwen said, heading out.
Knuckles looks to where Gwen has disappeared and sighs dreamily. Before either of them had an insight, Sonic and Tails exchanged thoughtful glances.
"Hey, how about you take Gwen out?" Sonic suggested.
Knuckles snaps out of his trance and glances at him.
"Out? But she's already out." he questioned.
Tails chuckles while Sonic face palms.
"No, not that. I mean take her out on a date for Valentine's Day. Like as a way of showing your love for her." Sonic explained.
"That's not a bad idea. A nice gift would do too." Tom said.
"A date... But where should I take her? I don't even know what she likes." Knuckles said, taking their word for it.
"I think I know just a perfect place for you two." Sonic smiled.
"I'll help you with some sweets and drinks." Maddie added.
Acknowledging their accuracy, Knuckles pauses to consider. It would be only fitting for him to return the favor as she had shown him and his family her affection by providing them with food and sweets.
"Alright. Tell me everything."
Glancing down at the basket to make sure none of the treats are flying, Gwen was driving to Wade's residence in the meantime. As she was preparing something special for Knuckles, she even discovers a hidden remnant behind the remaining treats. When she returns home after delivering the sweets to Wade, she will give Knuckles a Valentine's Day present of her own. She parked in front of the home, makes her way up the steps, and approaches the door. After knocking, Gwen stands by the door. Wade is shown in his jammies as the door opens. Gwen is seen when he yawns and looks down.
"Oh, hi, Gwen! Good morning! "he greeted.
"Morning, Wade! And I just wanted to wish you a..."
She pulls out a leftover sweets she baked.
"...Happy Valentine's Day."
Wade looks touched at such gift from her and takes it.
"Aww, thanks! Happy Valentine's Day. Since we're exchanging each other's gifts, I might as well give you mine. Wait here."
He goes back inside the house to get something, and when he returns, he has a bottle of Sparkling Juice Red Grape. Gwen found it surprising.
"Your very own wine bottle for you and your date." Wade said, wiggling his eyebrow.
"Wow. That's thoughtful of you." Gwen said, taking the bottle.
"Don't worry. It's non-alcoholic, and it's a sparkling juice. Trust me, it's good." he said, making her smile in relief.
"Thanks, Wade. You take care." she waved, heading back to her motorcycle.
"You too." he waved back as Gwen drives away.
Gwen drives back to her home after giving treats to her neighbors and accepting some from them. She stops when she sees some red rose petals on the ground after getting off her motorcycle. She gets her basket out of curiosity and follows the trail, discovering that it goes to a cliff side where she and her brother frequently visit to get a view of the Green Hills. She zooms along on her rocket roller skates, reaching the top of the cliff. Her eyes enlarge at what she sees. Knuckles is standing there, appearing nervous as he holds something behind his back. A picnic with food and drinks, as well as a lovely white tent, is next to him.
"Whoa, Knuckles. This looks very nice and romantic." Gwen said, walking up to him and the picnic.
"I thought it would be good to have some alone time with you. Additionally, to express my gratitude for the breakfast you prepared for us. They assisted me in setting this up, and um," he remarked, appearing nervous, before giving her a card. "H-Happy Valentine's Day.
Gwen puts the basket down on the picnic blanket and accepts the card, blushing. The words "I love for a lifetime, not only for a day. I love you for who you are, not what you do or say" truly made her heart skip a beat. She read that and embraced Knuckles right away. Then she drew him into a kiss, and he happily returned the favor. They withdrew after a little period of time, and Knuckles led her to a picnic area where they took seats inside a white tent stuffed with pillows. He is quite excited when Gwen gives him chocolate-covered grapes on a stick from her basket.
"It was quite easy to make and I know how much you love grapes." she explained.
Knuckles happily tries it and he appears to be in bliss after tasting it.
"It's good." he said.
He later gives Gwen a heart shaped red velvet mini cakes while eating his chocolate covered grapes, making her gasp in delight.
"Knuckles! How'd you know I like them? They're my favorite!" she said, taking a bite of the cake.
"Maddie told me. And I'm glad you enjoyed it." he explained, smiling softly.
Gwen tosses a strawberry into Knuckles's ready mouth as they feed each other, and he catches it before devouring it. Knuckles tries to follow suit, but he just hits her over the head with a strawberry. Gwen gives him a cheeky gaze while gasping. Knuckles, amused, stands up and "tries" to run, but Gwen catches him and knocks him to the ground. She was going to pin him down the way she used to when they were youngsters, but to her amazement, he suddenly twists her around and pins her instead. They exchange long looks before burst out laughing.
The two returned to the tent to sit after their playful fight, and Gwen offered him a drink from the bottle of sparkling red grape juice. He gratefully accepted and gave it a try, and he really enjoyed it. After trying the drink for herself, Gwen was pleasantly delighted by its taste. Before taking a sip, the two clinked their glass cups together and took in the scenery of the Green Hills under a bright sun.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Knucks." Gwen said, cuddling him.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Gwen." Knuckles smiled, pulling her close.
They smile affectionately at one another and then plant a kiss. Little did they know, they were being watched from a distance as Sonic and Tails gave each other high fives. They are seen with Maddie and Tom, and Maddie is seen secretly taking photos of Knuckles and Gwen.
