Chrissy: Wow, I finally got around to re-writing this…
Knux: Seriously?
Chrissy: Yeah. I guess I've had the sequel in my head for so long…
Sonic: SEQUEL?! (faints)
Chrissy: Oh, come off it, ya little blue twit…
Knux: Well, I can't wait to read the Sequel.
Chrissy: Hay, a couple of people thought it was a good idea. But I'm not posting it until I re-write this first.
Knux: Guess you better hop-to then.
Shadow: (stares)
Knux: WHAT?!
Sonic: Hop-to?
Knux: What? Mercy's been rubbing off on me, that's all… (grumble grumble)
Chrissy: Ehehe… R&R please!
Part One: Celeste's Arrival
A young Rabbit washed onto the shore of a sandy beach. She was about fifteen, with purple patches on her blue fur, and her yellow dress matched her shoes, and her hands were clad in black wrist-warmers. She opened her bright green eyes and looked around. Confusion overwhelmed her. She remembered nothing; her head was a blank. She remembered nothing, nothing except one phrase that rang in her head: "The blue eyed one will set you free..."
What did that mean? Who said it? She looked on the ground. A stick lay there, but it was very odd colors: Blue and Purple. She picked it up and read the writing. Celeste. "I guess that's my name..." she thought aloud. "Now... what do I do?" She had no idea what she had to do next. She had no idea who she was, where she came from, or who her family and friends were. Suddenly, she heard the sound of cars. She walked up the beach a ways until she came to a bridge. With no other clue of what to do, she followed the bridge.
After walking for quite some time, Celeste finally came upon a town. Tall buildings loomed overhead. She still had no idea where she was. She looked around. Various people walked the streets. She wandered aimlessly for awhile before sitting down on the ground her back against a building. Her head was swimming, and she felt so alone that it overwhelmed her. She was so wrapped in her thoughts that she didn't hear a green hedgehog approach her.
"Are you OK?" He asked. Celeste looked up, startled. The hedgehog's kindly smile showed a slight concern, but what drew her attention most was his eyes. Their dark blue color re-awakened the words in her head: "The blue eyed one will set you free..." Did it mean him?
"Yeah, I'm fine..." She said. "But if you could please, tell me; where am I?" The green one looked puzzled, but he replied, "We're in Station Square." He paused and then added, "I don't recognize you."
Celeste blushed, suddenly embarrassed. "I'm sorry, forgive me, I'm Celeste." She said. "And, you are...?"
"Blitz." he replied warmly, extending his hand. Celeste clenched it in a firm handshake, but when she did, an image flashed through her mind; a red cat. She shook her head of the picture and stood up.
"So, what brings you here?" asked Blitz. The hedgehog had an eyebrow raised, a look that all but painted a question mark on his face.
"Well... I don't really know..." began Celeste. Seeing that the puzzled look persisted, she explained her predicament. She told him everything except the words in her head. Yeah, that would sound fantastic. She reasoned with herself. I've got a voice in my head on top of the amnesia.
"Well, I don't really know how I can help..." The Hedgehog said sadly, a twinge of regret in his voice.
"I'll probably stick around here for awhile, and then I'll probably go looking for answers..." said Celeste. She looked over at Blitz, thinking for a moment. He seems concerned about me… she observed. Almost like a big brother…
"Perhaps..." Celeste began. When Blitz gave her his question-mark look again, she continued. "I don't know my way around town yet, maybe you could give me a tour tomorrow?" She asked uncertainly. She felt... drawn to Blitz for some reason she couldn't quite explain.
"Sure!" Blitz replied, apparently happy to know he would be with the rabbit for at least another day. Celeste blushed like mad as they continued to talk and make arrangements for tomorrow. She was happy to know the hedgehog was happy to be spending time with her. Suddenly becoming aware of herself, she became flustered.
"Great, well, I'll see you tomorrow then!" Celeste said, abruptly ending the conversation. She walked away, not knowing exactly where she was going. She needed to secure lodgings and grab a meal, and she still didn't know her way around town. But right now she didn't really care. Perhaps she would just go back to the beach where she had began and camp there for the night.
Perhaps tonight, she would sleep beneath the stars...
Chrissy: There! That's much better than it was before!
Knux: (Reading) Yeah, it's longer. Makes a lot more sense too.
Chrissy: I feel a lot better having at least started to re-write this.
Shadow: Yeah, well I don't…
Chrissy: Shadow, you're not even in it!
Shadow: Yeah, but you can still torture me… (pouts)
Chrissy: If you don't quit, I'm putting you in your emo corner…
Knux: (sighs) This is getting out of hand… R&R please!
