Hi, sorry for the wait! I don't have anything else to say except to enjoy:)


CHAPTER 2

"Ok, a quick change of plans," Starlight said, turning to the others. Strangers of the island, they were depending on her now. "There's a tsunami headed straight for this island. We need to run as far away as possible from the shore, unless we want to have a surfing competition on a wave bigger than Chaos himself. Yes, I get a paper delivered to me every day. That's how I know. The theme song was pretty cool. Anyways. When the waves come, hold onto something sturdy. I know where we can escape." Star lead the gang into the forest. The first wave came hard on them, but everyone was fine. Rouge hated being soaked, so she changed form into an echidna, resulting in a small glance from Knuckles and a grin from Rouge. Shadow smirked and the smile just screamed blackmail.

Star grinned, glancing at Shadow, who nodded. "Now if Rouge is done flirting-"

"So what if I was? Do ya have an issue with that?"

"Nope. Ok, then, listen up, everyone. We don't have much time. The next wave will be bigger and stronger, if I know Kukulili well enough. We need to go through the plot hole. It's the only way to survive," Star explained in a hurry.

"Oh, here it is!" She pushed aside the leaves to reveal a large, dark blue, glittering circle-sphere that appeared to be flat, but could be seen clearly from every angle. "Everyone in! Quick, before the next wave hits!"

Tails protested. "Cosmo and I will go home and sit this one out, right?" He put a protective arm around Cosmo, who was now her normal form. She blushed and nodded.

"Ok, fine. Are you two like boyfriend and girlfriend or something? Whatever. Now, everyone else, in!" She shoved everyone still there through the hole and then ran in herself. Once through, they saw a vast darkness. Starlight dug a gadget out of her pocket and pressed a button.

"Ok, I think we'll go to another game. It's pretty safe there. No killer waves." Star glanced at everyone. She pressed another button and a plothole, this time in white, appeared and sucked them in. "Wait, this is-" Star never finished the scentence. They all blacked out. (A/N; I stink at transitions... Coconuts.)

"Wake up, time to go to school!" Star and the others found temselves being shaken awake by a human girl who had straight, dark orange hair and grey eyes, making her look like a modern Anne of Green Gables. (A/N; (grin) Guess who?) She was wearing a brown cammi and jeans with a gold chain. "Woah! It... It can't be! Star, is that you! Oh coconuts... I must have typed you all out of my fanfic!"

"Coconut. Calm down. We're here because my sis messed up the plothole. Ok gang, this is Coconut," Star explained, pointing at the girl, who got really excited and bounced around asking for autographs. "Excuse her, she can get a bit hyper. She was a friend to me back at the science lab, not to mention that I'm modeled after her. Yep, personality and everything. She was as good a friend as like Rouge and Amy at school. In fact, Rouge was kind of like Maria, except it was the other way around..."

(((Flashback)))

It was another normal day on Mobius, and three girls (Amy, Rouge, and Star two years ago, but you knew that. Right?) were walking home from the mall at night, talking about boys, school, etc. Suddenly, while they were crossing an old, abandoned lot, a helicopter landed and a cat, strkingly similar to Starlight but with silver fur and black hair, hopped out. She wore jeans and a cammi, too, but the cammi was blacker than the night sky and had a single rhinestone in the middle, shimmering like a lone star. Amy, instantly sensing that something was wrong, ran for her life. Star and Rouge were frozen in fear.

"There she is! The cat! She's Project Starlight! Get her!" the silver cat hissed. Starlight tried to run, but fell and was captured.

"Sis, don't do this to me! Why did you betray me? I don't want to be another weapon like Shadow was supposed to be. I'm not just another science test, I have a free will! Let me go!" Star struggled, but had no sucess in escaping.

"Let her go! She didn't do anything to you!" Rouge screamed at the silver cat. The cat just rolled her eyes. Rouge, in a state of pure anger at the injustice, charged at the scoffing cat, but was siezed by the guards.

"No! Starlight!" was the last thing she screamed, tears streaming down her face, before she was knocked out.

Later at school...

"You! You're the one who told them about Star! I'll never, ever forgive you for this!" Amy screamed at Rouge, who protested but was knocked over the head by the Piko-Piko hammer wielded in Amy's hand. Rouge turned and ran off crying.

(((End Flashback)))

"Wow, that's sad. Sorry, Rouge, about the misunderstanding." Amy commented, blowing her nose on a tissue.

"It's ok, Amy. But we still have to get Coconut to school or she'll be late! The bus is coming soon!"

"Nah, I was only trying to get you all up. Rouge always hated missing the bus, if my memory of Star's past is correct! It's Christmas vacation, and I'm starting to decorate the tree today. Wanna join?"

Without waiting a second, Coconut then dragged everyone into the den, where she and two other girls started checking the light strings for any burned out bulbs. Everyone else just sat around. When that was done, Coconut bounced onto the couch.

"I've forgotten to introduce you to my friends, haven't I? Well, this is Ellie, and this is Shimmer." She gestured toward the two girls that had helped with the lights. Shimmer waved shyly and ran her fingers through her straight, black hair. She looked Korean or something to that effect. Ellie just rolled her eyes and tucked her short, straight brown hair behind her ear.

"I told you that she liked that game too much, Shimmer. She's pulled me into yet another black hole of hers. Now I'm hallucinating that the Sonic characters are in our dorm." Ellie turned to Coconut. "Make them leave. Now."

"Umm, actually their comics are pretty good. They can stay. Now, Ellie, does my hair look ok? Oh, I haven't brushed it at all in the past hour! It must be a total mess! Give me the comb!" Shimmer grabbed her prized comb out of Ellie's hands and started to furiously brush her hair.

"Ok then. Ellie and Shimmer, this is Sonic, Amy, Rouge, Knuckles, and Shads- I mean, Shadow. And I'm Star." Ellie glanced at everyone before complimenting Rouge on her outfit. In response, Rouge grinned and coolly said thank you.

"Oops, batgirl's in echidna form, isn't she? Normally she's a bat. Trying to impress someone, Rouge?" Shimmer made it clear who she was talking about with a head jerk at Knuckles, who ignored it but turned a bit reddish. (A/N; But he's already red... Ok, he turned redder. '.)

"Do you want me to bonk you over the head?" Rouge glared angerly at Shimmer.

"Ok, listen up! We now have to decorate the tree! Turn on the music, and let's get decorating! Whee!" Coconut shouted, bringing down the ornaments. Star groaned and apologised for the behavior of her double.

"Like I said, she's hyper. Ooh, is that candy? YUMMY!" Star dug in, and offered some to Shadow. As a result, they were both overly hyper. This was a side of Shads no one had seen before...

"Whee!-Time-to-decorate-the-tree-Fun!" shouted Shadow, who was running around the house crazily while Star stuffed all of the candy in her mouth. Then they started doing the macerana.

"This is going to be a looong vacation."

"No duh."

-- -- --

Eventually, the tree was decorated and everyone decided to go skating at the local ice rink. Except Sonic had a problem... He couldn't skate.

"Amy, looks like Sonic is having a little trouble skating! Go over and help him out. That is what girlfriends are for, right?" Shimmer winked at Amy, who nodded and headed over to Sonic.

"They are totally perfect for each other. Yes! New couple to work on! And Rouge and Knucklehead go well..."

"If you say that again I swear that I will hit you."

"Oh, come on. I know that smile. It means 'I have a crush'. No, don't deny it- you're my best friend, and I know you well enuogh to know that you like him!" Star looked over at Rouge once Shimmer left.

"Ok, not so loud! I know how big of a mouth she has. So what if I like Knuckles? It's not like he has a crush on me or anything." At that moment, Sonic skated by with Amy. They were talking about something important...

"Ok, Amy, I... Umm, well..." Sonic stammered.

"You like me?" Amy had a small gleam of hope in her eyes.

"Well, yes. Wanna be my official girlfriend?"

"YesYesYes! Well, if you didn't catch that, YES!" Amy and Sonic skated over to Rouge and Star.

"Wow, you are SO lucky!" "Congrats!" Rouge and Star congradulated Amy and Sonic, who then went over to see the boys and tell them. Amy skated back over to the girls.

"What did you mean by 'you are so lucky', Rouge?" Amy asked as she skated backwards. Star explained the crush situation to Amy, who giggled and ran over to Sinic to tell him.

"No! Amy, don't tell him!" Rouge shouted across the ice rink, but it was too late.

"Rouge likes Knucklehead?" Sonic shouted, and though Amy covered his mouth, the whole rink halted and stared at the now-red echidna. (A/N; She's still in Echidna form)

"Umm... She has a crush on her piece of baloney named Knuckles... Yea..."

"No I don't! I don't care if the world knows now, 'kay? Is it a crime to have a crush or something? Now that it's out, oh well! Whoever wants to laugh for the next hour can do so without my help!"
