Chapter 2: Confusion
Ray ran swiftly through the forest, heading towards Freedom Fighters HQ. He almost tripped over his feet a few times but managed to keep heading in the right direction. Poor Briscrawny on the other hand was tripping over pebbles, getting mud and leaves stuck between her toes and she was still cold, despite of wearing the yellow squirrel's blue medium sized jacket.
When they got out of the forest, Ray let go of Bri's hand and looked back at her. He had a smile on his face at first but then looked at the young girl with a weird look when he spotted her in a rolled up position sucking her thumb.
"Um y you ok B Briscrawny?" He asked with a hint of concern. The girl looked up at him with disbelief and only rolled her eyes at him as she continued to suck her thumb. Ray frowned and looked away from her.
"Where are we anyways?" Bri asked as she rolled from on tree to another, getting dirt all over her sky blue fur. Ray was still turned the other way with a sad expression on his face.
"W w we are at the HQ…" he said quietly. He started to shuffle his feet around in the dirt as if he was waiting for the squirroon to respond. He slowly turned his head and saw Bri getting up and dusting herself off. He looked from her to the ground and turned back around. Bri glanced at him and sighed almost grudgingly.
"Look, I'm sorry for getting a fit ok? I'm just a little steamed at the fact that I'm still here in the first place…" Bri said. Ray smiled wide at her and gave her a thumbs up which made Bri give him a weird expression.
"W we will g g get to the b bottom of this and find out w what the c cause of you coming h here is. So don't w worry!" Ray said with excite and started to walk towards the Freedom HQ. Bri slowly follow behind and slid her feet against the grass and dirt, making her walk a little bit slower. Ray came face to face with the door and knocked on it, not wanting to be rude and just walk in. The door slowly opened and a green crocodile came to the door and gave Ray a big smile.
"Ray ma boy! How's it goin? Weren't you taking a walk or something?"
"I was, until I I I found someone. She w w was supposedly s sent here from a d different dimension and knows l like everything!" Ray said with excitement.
"Everything huh? Hmm…who is this girl?" Vec asked.
"Her name is Briscrawny!" He smiled. Vector looked at him then his eyes trailed to the girl, who was still slowly making her way towards the door with a dreadful look on her face.
"Ya mean da depressed blue girl who walks like a granny who had her back blown out?" He said and began to laugh really loud. Ray looked up at him and frowned.
"She's not slow…she's just…" Ray looked back her and saw that she was still making her way towards them. He gave himself and face palm and mumbled, "…different…." Bri approached the two boys and looked at Vector who was still laughing his heart. She growled and decided to push his buttons some.
"You know Vector, It's not nice to laugh at people considering that you hide your original voice with some wanna ghetto voice and you still lack to tell you chaotix buddies about ahem…downunda…" she smirked. Vector immediately stopped laughing and glared at Ray.
"YOU TOLD HER?"
"N nope…she knows e e everything…" Ray said slowly walking past Vector towards the main room with the others. Bri walked past Vector and bumped into him on purpose.
"Oops…"
Vector growled at her and slammed the door shut, following the two young children towards the others.
Ray entered the room and saw everyone either playing video games or watching the other play video games. He smiled and looked at his best friends, who happened to be a black and yellow armadillo with a red shell and light blue eyes just like his. Mighty seemed to be too into the game to even notice anyone come through the door.
"M Mighty!" Ray smiled and ran towards the armadillo. Mighty glanced up at the boy and smiled opening up his arms for a brotherly embrace. Ray tackled him and gave him a hug laughing.
"Aww c'mon! You paused the game Mighty!" A red echidna yelled at the two friends. Bri entered the room and recognized the voice and immediately knew who it was. Knuckles.
Ray let go of Mighty and stood up to apologize to Knuckles.
"I'm s sorry Knuckles. I'm j j just v very excited." The echidna looked at him and gave him a stare. The stare wasn't just coming from him. They were coming from the other members of the chaotix, along with the freedom fighters.
"About what?" the echidna asked. Ray looked at him and smiled pointing to Bri.
"My new f f friend Briscrawny! She k knows e everything!" With that statement being said, everyone turned and started at the girl who was nervously smiling back at them.
"Do you REALLY know everything girl?" Knuckles spat. Bri glared at him and put her nose in the air.
"As a matter fact, yes. You are knuckles the echidna. You're a hothead and you're stubborn. You are currently in a relationship with Julie-su but sometimes "talk" to Rouge the bat if you catch my drift. You are obsessed with the master emerald and to top things of, you are MUCH weaker than sonic the hedgehog…" Bri looked back at him and saw that he was both mad and speechless. Perfect. Everyone also looked at her with shocked expressions and began to get nervous.
"Wait!" said a familiar Bee. "How do we know if you just didn't hear that stuff from Ray?"
"Charmy…" Knuckles began, looking at the ground with disbelief, "Ray wouldn't say such cruel things like that…she's obviously a witch of some sort."
"WHAT?" Bri screamed. Ray put his hand on Bri's shoulder and gave her a soft reassuring smile. Somehow, it calmed her down and made her smile as well.
"Knuckles, that's just stupid! Why would she be a witch?" Julie-su said and looked at Bri with a smile.
"It is really dumb. Besides, she looks like she's a nice girl." Saffron said, pushing Charmy off the couch.
"Oww!"
"We should show her some respect as the courtesy of the Freedom fighters AND the Chaotix" said Tails, who was walking in the room from the lab.
"I agree! I want her to tell me what she knows about me!" Amy Rose said with a dazzled look on her face. Bri cringed and looks at the wall. No wonder she drives sonic crazy….
"Let's let her introduce herself first" Mighty said with a smile as he looked at Bri. Bri felt her heart drop. Mighty the armadillo was actually looking at her…and talking to her! Bri didn't know how to react. She didn't have a love interest in him, although he was quite the charmer. It was just that he along with Ray were her favorite characters in the Sonic Archie comic series.
"W w well…." She began but felt everyone stare at her which made her nervous, "My name is Briscrawny the squirroon…but my real name is Brianne Mizan. And...I come from a different world better yet a different dimension. The reason I know about you guys is that…well…" she stopped and began to breath awkwardly.
"A are you ok Bri?" Ray asked with concern. Bri slowly nodded and then lifted her head up in the air.
"ACHOO!" she sneezed. What she didn't know was that she blew everyone away, along with some of the furniture and pictures on the wall. Everyone slowly looked up at the girl from the ground with disbelief.
"Do you have powers?" Charmy asked while flying around her. Bri didn't say anything and slowly walked into the bathroom and looked at her reflection.
Everyone just sat on the ground and looked at each other. Then they all looked at Ray who was looking towards the bathroom.
"Maybe you should go check on her..." Princess Sally said with a small smile.
"Or you can let her think about what she did to the furniture!" Knuckles growled with anger. Ray frowned at him and then looked at Princess Sally.
"I h honestly think s s she needs some p privacy right n now." He said almost sadly.
Bri washed her face and looked at herself in the mirror. She was crying, which was foreign to her. She couldn't help it though. She had just embarrassed herself in front of everyone and she still didn't know what was going on. She slowly fell to the ground and cried in her hands silently. One of her ears twitched when she heard someone coming towards the door. She looked up and saw that it was Julie-su. Julie gave the young girl and small smile and sighed.
"Hey there, do you want to talk about this with me? I promise I won't spill to anyone else…" The older girl smiled with her eyes closed. This made Bri smile a little bit and slowly stand up.
"That's sounds like a good idea Ms. Julie-su." Bri said as she walked out of the door. She then noticed Ray looking at her with a hurt look. He wanted to talk to her about the whole thing but Julie-su insisted that Bri wanted to talk to a girl about it. Bri frowned and looked up at Julie-su.
"Could we possibly talk about it later? I still have to tell Ray about it first." Bri said with a very small smile. Julie-su just returned the smile, obviously understanding the whole situation.
"Sure thing! Just let me know!" She said as she walked back and helped the others fix up the furniture. Bri looked from her to Ray and made her way towards him.
"Want to talk about it?" She asked him, looking at the floor. Ray smiled and nodded. He took he hand and began to lead her into a more quiet area since everyone was straightening up the room from Bri's little sneeze. Bri looked at the boy who was focused on what was ahead of him. She felt her heart thud a little faster than what it normally does but ignored it when she arrived in a room with a bunk bed and some other bed. It was Mighty and his room. Bri let go of Ray's hand and took a seat on the regular bed, placing her hands in her lap. Ray slowly looked at her and sat next to her keeping a safe distance between them.
"Ok Ray, I'm sorry for not telling you my real name…" she signed sadly, "I'm just so confused right now. The fact that I'm here with some of the most awesome sonic characters just makes me want to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming…but…I know I'm not. Vector and Knuckles hate me and I thought they were pretty cool until I met them face to face. And the sneeze…I had no idea what happened there…but I know that won't be the last time it happens…" When Bri said the last statement, Ray scooted a little away from her for safety. This made Bri frown and look away from him. Ray quickly scooted back next to her and patted her back.
"I'm s sorry. I completely understand why you are so c confused. I just w want you to k know that…that y you can t talk to m me about anything. After all, you are my new best f friend." He said with a smile and stopped patting her back. Bri looked at him and smiled wide.
"Really?"
"Yeah! B best friends f forever!" The squirrel gave her and thumbs up and smiled.
Bri couldn't help but to smile back at him and also gave him thumbs up. Maybe coming here wasn't a bad thing. Maybe, there is a purpose for this happening to me…. She smiled at the thought.
Hope you enjoyed! Review please
