Tranquillity slowly sipped from her mug of coffee. Staring into space she sighed. It has been six months since her and a few of her friends had been transported to this now familiar planet.
Flashback
Tranquillity ducked the incoming SWATbot missiles, but Sámi wasn't so lucky. She was hit dead on by the blasts. Swaying slightly, she passed out onto the metal flooring. Tranquillity narrowly dodged the last few stray shots and ran towards Sámi. Dropping next to her she checked for a pulse. She was relieved when she felt a steady beating.
Turning around she called to her friends and stood up.
"It's no use trying to get away," a dark voice cried from the upending shadows.
"Try it Eggman!"
"Gladly!" he yelled back.
A tremendous battle was carried on, with Sonic complaining when he arrived because they hadn't waited for him.
This carried on for 30 minutes before a shrill cry was heard.
"SILENCE! STOP THIS AT ONCE GRANDCHILD!"
"Sorry Grandfather," Eggman apologised to Dr. Gerald Robotnick.
"I will deal with you later, for now we need to get rid of these pests once and for all," he snickered.
He lent down for a small rectangular remote, and gently brought his hand down onto it.
A sharp blast hit the area next to the small portable robotersizer, striking those that were nearest.
"Lets Juice Sal!" Sonic cried out and with that he took Sally's hand.
As he ran out of the doomed building, he swayed to a halt.
"We can't leave, there still in there!"
He swerved back to the building, but he was too late. An echoing blast screeched out and the whole of robotropilis was covered in darkness.
End flashback
Tranquillity flipped back into her seat. Six long months ago and she and the others were still presumed dead. She knew this because she was able, thanks to Tails, to see what was going on in the regions of Mobius.
She let herself fall deep into thought. Looking out of the window, she took another sip of her hot drink. She was in no hurry to leave this place; she liked it better than Knothole anyway. Now don't call her heartless, she is much more than that, she still loved the ones who had raised her, but they had never let her show them how responsible she could truly be. Ok maybe that was her fault, after the pumpkin incident Sally and Bunnie had been very reluctant to let her help when vegetables were involved.
She turned back to the window and suddenly knew where she wanted to be.
She wanted to run, to be free.
She turned her half fading attention to the newspaper that Sámi had purchased from the local newsagents earlier.
She let her attention slip to the large bold print heading.
Cinrado City saved again by the Quill heroes.
Tranquillity (or Quillz as she preferred to be named) stuck her head into the article.
Once again, it started; we have had our lives saved by the Quill heroes. The dynamic team of super heroes have saved our city more times than any one can count from the numerous attacks of the infamous Dr.Eggman.
The four teams of heroes split up and hit Eggman a number of times before his ship fell to the ground.
Stan Foot interviewed Dr.Eggman before he was taken to the local jail institute.
"I will destroy the Quill heroes one of these days!" was the only statement before he was carried off.
We would all on contribution of our city to the Quill heroes would like to thank them by holding a ceremony in their honour.
It carried on with the usual thanks and interviews.
She rolled her eyes and sighed yet again.
She had a calling for the wind in her; she wanted to be out there, with the wind in her hair.
Grabbing a thin sheet of paper from the draw and snatching a pen from the holders grasp she wrote a hasty note and stuck it onto the fridge where she was sure Sámi or Tails could see it. With that, she dashed outside.
RING RING!
Sámi grumbled and turned to switch her alarm off. Disgruntled, she rolled back and snuggled under her warm, silky covers.
She was just settling back down to sleep when a magenta chao lept onto her. She picked the chao up and set him on the floor before rolling back to dream land.
But the chao wouldn't give up. He flew up to where Sámi was sleeping and pulled at her ear. She grumbled and pulled the pillow on top of her head, and carried on sleeping.
He folded his arms and sat down angrily 'she is defiantly not a morning person' he thought. Suddenly it dawned on him. Pulling the cymbals out of nowhere, he began to play a loud, noisy tune.
Sámi chucked her pillow at her magenta chao, which covered him up and blotted out his tune. She laughed and struggled out of her warm, cosy bed. She stumbled over to her wardrobe and pulled out a pair of loose fitting jeans and a short fitting t-shirt, which said 'created in the gorgeous factory.'
She slipped on her pink kitten slippers since she was in the house and slowly made her way down stairs, Spike, her chao, flying beside her.
She noticed the half drunk coffee and the scattered newspaper lying on the table. Taking a large chao nut out of the freezer she sat down to read. Ignoring Spike's loud mmmmmm sounds, she was able to read until the article bored her.
"How's that nut Spike?" she asked.
A loud satisfied grunt was heard from his direction as he turned back to his fruit.
She giggled and walked over to the cupboard, taking out some pancakes.
'Spike can have his nut,' she thought 'but I'm a pancake person myself.'
She put the batter into the frying pan and put the heat on low. Pacing around the kitchen she spied the note hanging to the freezer.
She pulled it down and frowned at what she read.
Sámi, Tails,
Left to go on a run, be back soon, save me a pancake. Tell the president that we can't make his ceremony; I don't think we'll ever go. Any hoo, tell Tails to link the Mobius screen up I wanna see what Sally-Girls doing today. Laters,
Quillz
She let the note slip to the ground and flopped down into a chair. Spike came up to her and gave her the puppy dog eyes look. She tried to avoid it but it pulled her in like always.
Sighing slightly, she made the long journey to the fridge, yet again. She set down another huge nut in front of her greedy chao before flinging herself into the chair and falling into a deep slumber.
Tails awoke to the fire alarm sounding loudly.
"Why do I have a terrible feeling that that was breakfast?" he said aloud.
He pulled on his gloves and a red t-shirt and jeans before racing down stairs on the quickest transportation available, the stair rail.
Sliding down the rail, he jumped off as he neared the bottom. He came to the kitchen to see Sámi battling with the fire extinguisher. He aided her by taking the extinguisher off her and pressing the red button on the side.
"Thanks a lot Tails!" She cried giving him a death hug causing him to wince.
"Erm….. No prob Sámi, mind letting go of me now?"
Blushing she let him go and dragged a hand through her light blue quills.
"So, I'm guessing breakfasts off," Tails said grinning.
"Mind reader," Sámi muttered.
Spike watched the scene in amazement. A blue bubble question mark appeared above his head, unnoticed by the blushing duo.
He knew, nay the whole world, knew they liked each other, but they still wouldn't admit that the little mishaps that seemed to happen when they get together are giving off little signals off love. Just the way he smiles and she crumbles beneath him suggests it's more than a crush.
The way all she had to do was call and he'd come running like a knight in shining armour showed it was more than a one off.
The way they stuttered whenever the other was around told the story of true love.
Spike just didn't under stand.
Quillz was speeding through the city of Cinrado almost at sonic speed. A million thoughts buzzed through her head, but she ignored them all and just kept running through her tears. She had to keep running; she had the urge to speed, to get away from it all. She dodged reporters and other newspaper colleagues. She sped down the corner only to run into a large wrecking ball suspended in midair.
"Mwahahahahah lets see you get away from this Quill Hero!" Eggman laughed evilly.
"Bring it Egghead!" She shouted back and got into fighting stance.
