Sonic was still dazed as he arrived back at the base, walking slowly, that orange-red-brown figure still on his mind. How had she got there? Who was she? Why had she helped him?

It was only when a cushion collided with his head that his attention snapped back to a shorter and lighter orange figure, with a black and red striped head looking around the sofa with amusement, “You even got a drink out the fridge without noticing him yelling in your ear.”

Sonic shrugged and jumped her the back of the sofa to land next to Shadow, who had hurriedly pulled the popcorn bowl away from the seat. Tails still looked irritated, “I said will you listen!”

“Am now.” Sonic carefully pulled a few popcorn bits out the bowl and tossed them into the air before catching them with his mouth, eyes glued to the TV. Tails leant on the back of the sofa, tails flicking irritably from side to side, “Can we go to the city tomorrow? I don’t want to miss Amy’s birthday after what happened last year.” Shadow and Sonic didn’t even look up,

“Which new technology have you got your eyes on?”

Tails grinned, “They’re showing some prototypes for something, extreme gear I think. Can we go?”

The zombie-like hedgehog’s nodded and winced as one when an interview interrupted the programme. Sonic then shot bolt upright from his slouch to stare at the object on the screen, eyes wide. Shadow looked sideways, again puzzled, “What’s
up?”

“That board...” Sonic was rapt, eyes fixed to the hoverboard’s general shape which he’d been riding not half an hour earlier, vaguely taking in the inventor or whoever who’s board it was, saying her name was Wave.

“Yeah, that’s what I was talking about!” nodded Tails, “Wanna go to the city tomorrow?”
“Hell yeah!”

Shadow snorted with laughter, “What the hell happened to you today?”

“Went to try and see Knux over the alarm that the emerald was in danger and found a fleet of robots instead.”

This caused the others to stare at him, “What the hell? The emerald in danger? Why didn’t you say?”
“You were both out so I went to check.”
“Thanks for warning us...” the sarcasm practically dripped from Shadow’s voice as he went and turned the television off, “So why’d you jump at seeing the board?”

“Got pinned at the dead end near the top of the city and a chick on one of them turned up, she gave me one hell of a journey back. Seriously, she must have been crazy to jump to the mid skyscraper bridge from there.”

“Seriously?” that was Tails’ voice before Shadow spoke again,
“That’s stupid...”
“Tell me about it, and she was humming as she did it.” There was a small pause as Shadow looked at him strangely,

“She must be crazier than you...”
“Oh thanks.”
“Pleasure.”

“Will you two stop it?” Tails said, exasperated, “I want to know how it works already!” He looked at the two hedgehogs, who shook their heads sadly, “What?”

“Man you’ve got to get your priorities straight...”
“Look who’s talking.”

Sonic didn’t have an answer to that, especially as Shadow startled laughing at the look on his face. He replied with a scowl and went to his room and turned on the computer. The t.v. sounds soon filtered up to his room.

Shadow soon followed though, lounging against the doorframe, “Thinking of her when you got back?”

“Yeah, I mean who the hell can get past a load of bots without a scratch that high up and have one of them things?” Shadow shook his head despairingly and replied, “What’d she look like?”

“Three spikes next to each other, like Knux but only three large ones. Other than that a bit of a cross between you and Tails and red-orange-brown with a white chest bit like yours, no back spikes though and only one tail.”

“Sounds like you’ve memorised every inch of her,” Shadow’s short statement was impassive.
“I wanted to make sure I would recognise her again,” Sonic protested with a shrug.
“Yeah right. I’ll keep an eye out for her, if she’s that much of a hotshot with one of those things she’ll be at that event tomorrow.”

“That’s what I’m hoping, I want to know how she knew I was up there.” Shadow looked as if he wanted to say something in reply but then quietened. Sonic spoke again in the silence, “and that ride was so fast, the adrenalin made even me worry about how careless she was...”

“Now that is impressive.”
“You’re telling me...”
“You know I think you really DO have some competition in the insanity race!”
“Shut it Shadow.”
