XAfter a long flight to Olympia, Washington the Knothole freedom fighters along with Knuckles arrived to Nora's house on anearly warm Friday night as they walked up her porch. "Are you sure this is the place Sally?" Rotor in his his glasses on along
/with

his long coated jacket and a yellow cap on his head backwards asked her. "Yes it said in the email we got Rotor." Sally said as she knocked the door. "Yup looks like avery awesome sweet 16 party we are at." Knuckles said as he looked at an

/inflated balloon. "Can you just acted nice for once?" Amy asked him. "Maybe." He told her still depressed. Then the middle of the door opened revealing Nora to see who it is. "NO! WAY!" She said excited as she opened the door. "Your the Knothole
freedom

/fighters!" She said to them. "Surprise!" Everyone but Knuckles said to her. "I can'tbelieve you guys actually came! I'm Nora!" She said still excited as she introduced her self. "Well I'm Sally and this is..." Sally said as Nora interrupted.

"Heck I know

who you guys are! ENTER! ENTER! You can drop your bags there!" She said excited as Sonic an the crew walked in. "So where is everyone else?" Sonic asked as he looked around. "I don't know! I told everyone at my highschool and youth groupthat

I probably invited the Knotholes to come but I think they thought you would actually show up!" She told them. "Well maybe we are early maybe other people will show up very soon." Tails told her. "I don't know?" Knuckles said a little concerned. "ANYWAY!"
/Amy said in disscuss at Knuckles. "Like we just said people will show up soon." Rotor said. "I can't wait for the party to start." Cream said excited. "Chao! Chao!" Cheese adoor closed on the other side of the roomrevealing

an old aged clown on a walker. "Well I zee ze clowns here." Antoine said. "Alright a clown is here." Sally said trying hard not to embarrass Nora. "Yeah! He's 87 years old and his name is Cramps!" Nora said getting back in her excited tone. "Hey Cramps
/what's up!" Sonic said in the same tone as Sally as everyone justwaved at the old clown. "Whoa! Something who ha is on mah leg!" Bunnie said as she looked down to see a brown chicken underneath her. "Oh! That's my pet chicken Maurice!" Nora said.
/"Your pet chicken?" Tails asked confused. "Yup!" She answered. "Ok!" Tails said awkwardly. "Now let's put on some music!" Nora said as she got to the music table in the room. Oh here's a tasty tape!" Said as she turned on the radio and said to dance
/approach

back. As she did she approached Tails as he got confused in the situation and backed up a bit but after a few seconds of confusion he accepted to dance with her and started to lay her head on his right shoulder. Then Cramps started to approach Sally
/and

pulled his arms out. "I'm good but thank you." Sally told him but Cramps kept approaching her. "Dance me!" He said to her and Sally decided to give him a little dance. Then Sonic started to dance with Amy, Antoine started to dance with Bunnie, and
/Cream

started to dance with Cheese as Knuckles and Rotor just watched.

Back at the main base in knothole village Ray was sitting on the couch watching tv as Mighty entered the room. "This is bad!" Mighty said to himself. "What is it?" Ray asked. "They forgot Nicole's main hand held device." He said to him. "Well what do
/we do then?" Ray asked. "Well we can't call them to come back they are pretty much in Olympia by now." He said. "Well think of this since they aren't here right now we can do what ever we want!" Ray told him. "So what you are saying this is ours
for

/now?" Mighty asked him as Ray shook his head as the alarms went on. "What's happening?" Ray asked him. "Well what ever it is it's somewhere near by so since this is our place for now we are the freedom fighters!" Mighty told him. "Sounds good to
me!"

/He said as the both rushed out of the base.

Mean while back at Nora's place paramedics are about to leave the house with Cramps in a terrible condition. "Is Cramps gonna be ok?" Nora asked one of the paramedics as they were about to leave. "MAYBE!" He said with a smile as Nora felt the same way
/as well. "Problebly not!" He said in a depressed way as Nora's smile faded as well. Well happy birthday!" He said and left. "Thank you." Nora said in a sad way as she closed the door. "Hey Nora I'm deeply sorry that your clown had an aneurysm."
/Sally said apologizing to her. "Sorry that he had while I danced with him." Amy pointed out with her friends in shock.
