"What?... where am I?" A confused hedgehog asked in a daze. He was black and red, and bangs that covered his right eye. He looked around to see a familiar cat with ribbons in her hair. She was confused as well. She looked over at his direction and smiled.

"Solar?..." she asked faintly. Solar looked at the young cat, who was crying silently with happiness. He had never seen her before, but it gave him a familiar feeling…as if they were really close. The cat came over to the hedgehog, raising his bangs. She saw a huge gash that covered his whole right eye. She smiled.

"Somehow, I knew you would get yourself hurt. Nazo did this…did he not?" the cat asked. Solar nodded, wanting to ask her how she knew. She laughed.

"I know this, because we were separated when we were only three. The person who caught me was Eggman. You were chased off by Nazo, and as a bonus, he gave you that scar across your eye. You don't possibly remember me, do you?" she informed. Solar shook his head, surprised she knew so much about him. The cat wiped away her tears and hugged the black and red hedgehog.

"I'm your cousin, Solar…I'm Star the Cat…" her voice faded. Solar had woken up, and found his partner, Chip, right beside him. A snore came from the Chihuahua with wings.

"Chip, stop snoring," Solar ordered as he pushed Chip, waking him up in surprise.

"Solar! You know I need my sleep!" he shouted at the hedgehog. Solar only remarked,

"You can sleep when you're dead."

Chip noticed the fear in Solar's eye. He flew over and stared at him with wonder. Solar murmured things that the Chihuahua couldn't hear entirely. He could only hear the word he repeated over and over.

"Star…"

Meanwhile…

"Star, wake up…" a soft voice called. It was her mother, Blaze. Star rubbed her eyes, which were full of joy and excitement. Blaze smiled.

"I'm guessing you had a good dream last night," she laughed. Star nodded, but sighed. What hurt the most was exactly that: it was only a dream.

"I…dreamed that I saw Solar…" Star mewed. Blaze smiled faintly. "You will see him, Star. Remember that…" she told her daughter. Star nodded.

"You should get ready. School will end today," Blaze assured. Star smiled. She was happy it was the last day. That way, she could go wherever she pleased for three months. Maybe that way, she could see her long lost cousin once again.
