Scipio contacted his friend from a long time ago and he knew that she still had a big thing for him, he could tell but he just never said. She also believed that he was an orphan.

'Hello?' came the sound of a girls voice.

'Hey Celia, it's me, Scipio.' Skipio smiled.

'Skip, is that you? Oh it's so great to hear from you.'

Scipio kind of felt bad that he was using her to get to Hornet.

'Lisen Celia, I have a confession. Rather 2 confessions. 1. I know you like me.' He heard Celia gulp. ' and 2. Well I like you back. I was just to afraid to tell you.'

'Oh Skip, I thought I'd never hear you say that to me.' Celia's voice came.

'So do you wanna go out sometime and say, be my girlfriend.'

'Of course Skip. You still are my little theif lord aren't you.' Scipio heard Celia chuckle.

'So do you wanna meet my friends sometime.'

'Sure Skip, how about next week?'

'Works for me.' Scipio smiled

'Pick me up at 2:15?'

'See you soon C.' then he put down the phone.

The next week, Scipio arrived at the Stella.

'Hey everyone.' He said cheerfully.

'Hey Skip.' Everyone replied.

At two o'clock, Scipio glanced at the clock on the wall.

'Skip, you seem to keep looking at the clock.' Hornet looked at him.

'Oh sorry, It's just that time is passing so slowly and I have to go and collect her.' He acted as if he had said it by mistake.

'HER!' everyone cried out.

'Damn it. Sorry guys, I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you guys, but Celia…'

'Who the heck is Celia?' Hornet put her hands on her hips.

'Well she's my girlfriend.' Scipio said quietly.

'GIRLFRIEND!' Everyone cried out and they all stared at him.

'What does she look like?' Riccio asked.

'Well, she's beautiful. The most beautiful girl I could have ever met. She has long golden locks, crystal blue eyes, a wonderful personality. I swear we are soul mates.' Scipio acted dreamily.'Well, I have to pick her up. I'll bring her here so you can meet her, because she's anxious to meet you guys. It was gonna be a surprise but oh well.' Scipio smiled, pulled on his mask and ran out.

'Who knew Skip could get a girl.' Riccio looked at Mosca.

'I knew he could, I mean he's the most handsomest out of all us boys. Always see the girls we pass looking at him and by the sound of Celia, he seems to have caught a good fish in the sea.' Mosca replied.

Scipio brought Celia into the Stella hotel.

'Is this where you guys live Skip honey?' Celia asked shocked.

'Well, it's the only nice place we could hide without being sent to an orphanage.' Skip smiled and he led her through the screen room.

'Wow, it's amazing here.'

Suddenly Riccio jumped out and stared at the sight of the beautiful girl in front of him. Celia screamed.

'Forgive him C, he's just a hedgehog that has been anxious to meet you.' Scipio smiled and took her quivering hand.

'Ok'

The others came out and Celia beamed a them. She looked at each of them.

'Mosca.' Mosca presented himself and kissed her hand.

'Riccio at your service me beautiful lady.' Riccio bowed and Celia smiled.

'Prosper.' Prosper shook Celia's hand.

'I'm Bo!'

'And how old are you mister?' Celia smiled.

'6 and a quarter pretty lady.'

'That is so cute!' Celia squealed then she turned to face Hornet.

'Hornet.' Hornet stated without looking at Celia.

'That's a strange name.' Celia said.

'Well get used to it.' Hornet snapped. Celia snapped her gaze away from Hornet and her shoulders drooped.

'Sorry, I just wanted to say hello.' Celia made her way to the back of the room and sat down.

'Way to go Hornet!' Scipio hissed.

'Yeah, why'd you make her all upset, she was just trying to be civil.'

'She called my name strange!' Hornet stomped her foot.

'Well both your names are stupid and strange.' Scipio cried and the others looked at him.

'Skip!' she hissed.

'I think I should tell them the way. You deserve it.'

'Please Skip.'

'Why shouldn't I.'

'Skip she doesn't deserve you, she's using you.'

Oh yeah, and who does deserve me if she's not good enough.' Skip hissed as Hornet bit her lip.

'You?' he asked before turning on his heel. Hornet sighed.

'So what's your real name Hornet?' Riccio asked. Hornet ignored him and scrambled up the stairs to her room.
