*In Red Maple Valley, Mia's PoV*
"Bloody snap Aro, you don't have to hit me so dang hard, geez!" I cried out, and the wolf laughed at my paint spattered head. We had bought a container of paintballs because we were bored, and there was nothing to do. He had hit me with a paint ball on the side of my face, and it hurt!
"Sorry Mia, but that's what happens when you mess with th- OW!" he yelped as my other friend, Cally, threw a paintball at his back.
"Jeez Aro, I didn't think you were so weak." laughed the orange falcon, pulling up her goggles. I didn't stand there to wait for my demise by her perfect aim, so, I ran into the nearby patch of maple trees(hence the name, Red Maple Valley). My necklace charms clinked together as I ran, tring to find a good place to hide for a bit.
"Oh great, thanks alot Cally. Now we lost Mia." whined the light brown wolf, then I heard him sniffin for me.
"Whatev, come out Mia, were done for the day!" shouted Cally, but I didn't listen. She'd get me as soon as I came out. Knowing her, she would call me out and then they'd both get me and bad things would happen.
Suddenly, I noticed something from the corner from my eye, shining a bright green(not as bright as my eyes). A green diamond? I thought, and crawled over to it. My necklace began thrumming on my neck. It only did that when something bad is about to happen.
"Hey Aro, Cally, come 'ere a sec!" I shouted and picked it up.
'Chaos.' The word echoed in my mind, as I held it up to the small patch of light coming thru the trees.
"Hmm, pretty." said Cally's voice from behind me.
"True dat." said Aro, and I stood up.
"Let's go show it to Pro. Kel." I said, and Aro snatched it from my grasp.
"What do you think of it Mia?" asked Cally, as we grabbed our Extreme Gears.
"Uh, no idea really. Though I do get a feeling that it's gonna do some strange things." I said, and we were on our way to Professor Kel's laboratory.
*Kel''s Lab*
"This is......a Chaos emerald!" said the old white edchidna, his brown eyes wide behind his glasses. Our eyes fell out of our sockets(not really).
"A-a Chaos emerald? Are you kidding me?" freaked Cally, her feathers ruffled.
The Professor straightened up and asked, "Which one of you found it?" Both Cally and Aro pointed to me. "Well, Mia, be careful, alright? No wondering who might come for this thing. It's power is dangerous. I could send it to Station square, and give it to-" Aro cut him off.
"Sonic the hedgehog and friends, we know Pro. Kel." said Aro, and we smacked the back of his head.
"We'll think about it. Thanks Pro. Kel. see ya later." I called, as me and Cally dragged out Aro.
*????'s POv*
That Chaos emerald had to be around here somewhere, I thought, skating thru a forest path. That stupid Sonic had to go and lose them again, and Eggman needed me to get it for him. He'd lecture me for hours.
Suddenly, I heard a voice scream, "Dammit Cally, give me the bloody emerald! I found it!" It wa a defient female's voice. I wonder, did she mean the Chaos Emerald? I ran toward the voice and found myself in a little park, about a mile away from some city lights. I watched a white hedgehog with purple highlighted streaks in her quills, chase around an orange falcon.
She held the Chaos emerald in her hands! A light brown wolf stood a few feet away, laughing his butt off. They all looked to be maybe my age of a year or two younger. The white hedgehog suddenly picked up a burst of speed, and tackled the falcon to the ground. Oh great, she reminded me of that idiot Sonic.
Laughing, she took the emerald from the falcon, and I noticed her necklace glow, before she put it in her hoody pocket.
"Mia, I hate you." said the falcon, as the white hedgehog smiled evilly. Mia, so close to Maria........
"It's a gift you know." said Mia., and the falcon pushed her off, and I heard a phone ring.
"'Ello? Yeah it's me.......Now?......You're sure?.........Mmmkay........bye." said the falcon and put the phone back in her pocket. She stood and turned toward the others, dusting off her jeans. "I gotta go. Mom wants me home."
"Yeah, I might as well go home too." said the wolf wiping tears from his eyes.
"You want to come over tonight Mia, In case, you can-" Mia cut off the orange falcon.
"No. I'll be fine for tonight. You guys go on ahead. I'll find somewhere to stay tonight." she said, and the falcon and wolf got sad looks in their eyes.
"Alright then, bye Mia, have a good night. "said the Falcon and both hugged her, before jumping on some Extreme Gear and flying away. The hedgehog, sat there for a minute before taking hers and hid it in some brush, before making her way into the forest on my side. This'll be easy, I thought, following after her.
Rinata: ok, done for tonight (wipes sweat from her forehead). thanks for reading, bye til next time. luv ya'll.
