Maria: Julie what are you doing?

Blaze: shhh! she's meditating

Maria: medawhat?

Blaze: Meditating

Maria: medawho?

Blaze: medabarney

Maria: oh no the worlds gonna end!

Julie-su: you guys are so noisy, you know i cant med-ita-te when you guys keep blabering on

Blaze&Maria: Sorry

She could hear the click, click, click of her friend's shoes. Maria was panicking, she knew, because Blaze hadn't called yet. Malice hadn't called either. She had never really liked Malice, couldn't have cared if she died. The only one keeping there friendship together was Blaze, there cat friend. And the only one that had ever ceep Julie-su from totally destroying Malice was the ever so kind Maria.

Maria on the other-hand was pacing back and forth in front of her meditating friend. Maria didn't mind anyone, she centrally didn't hate anyone. With the exception of Sonic, the hedgehog with an never ending rain of flirts, that were so corny. Not that Maria minded, he was far to nervous to flirt with Amy. He had avoided her for half of her life, then she turned into a woman, which now leads him to avoid Amy for the opposite reason.

Julie-su slowly stood up, still graceful as always and looked at Maria.

"is that necessary?" She said in an English tone.

Maria looked up, shy of course, blushed and nodded, and continue to pace back and forth. Then Julie-sues phone rang.

"Blaze!" Maria squealed.

Julie-su rolled her eyes and answered.

"Hello?" Julie-su asked"I just beat the crap out of some chick!" Blaze screamed in the phone.

"I think you just rose the dead." Julie-su said.

"cool!"

"Yes, well, why haven't you called I cant possibly meditate with ."

Maria giggled in the background.

"Sorry shadow walked in on me and youknow dot dot dot."

"Hym, so where's your faithful friend."

"She's not a dog." Blaze said

"As far as I'm concerned."

"She's probably in her room."

"Oh so you have rooms you're not sleeping outside"

"No," "Oh I've got to go by Dad." 'Beep'

"Oh bother." Julie-su said"Dad!" Maria said holding her stomach laughing

Julie-su snorted.

"I should nock you off your feet," Julie-su threatened

"Hay Julie, Maria, Sonic wants to see you." Tails screamed.

"Okay Miles." Maria screamed back.

Maria was the only one other than Sonic that could call him that.

The two girls took of running tourds themain base.

Tails met them half way. He looked at his charming and intelligent friends. Maria was a blond hedgehog. She had long blond hair that went to her elbows. And she wore a blue dress and blue sandals. She also had beautiful blue eyes. Her friend was slightly taller. Julie-su wore a green and black vest and a large belt on her hips that held a gun. She also had funny looking green boots. Julie-su was an echidna that was pink with violet eyes. She had two things about her that made it hard for him to trust her. The robo arm and a robo lock of her hair. But Maria seemed to trust her so much that if Julie said to jump of a cliff and she would be fine Maria would do it.

The thing that really made him nerves was there 'friends'. That nobody knew about!

They said nothing on there walk there.

"Sonic do we have to?" complained Knuckles.

"yes." Sonic replied.

"Ahhh!" Knuckles yelled in frustration. "Why! you don't even know them that well!"

"Because it wouldn't hurt to have more freedom fighters!" Sonic wailed.

"Ahhh!"

"Hi Sonic" Amy said.

Sonic looked over his shoulder to see Amy, she wasn't in her normal clothing. She was in a pink jacket that didn't cover her stomach, and a pink short skirt with a black belt threaded through it. And she was wearing black high-heals. Sonic started to blush but turned away before Amy could see.

"What do you want?" Sonic said rudely trying to make her go away.

Knuckles started laughing quietly.

"Oh I heard you were going to invite Maria and Julie-su to be freedom fighters." She said coolly.

Her voice made sonic blush more which in turn made knuckles hold his mouth shut so he didn't burst out laughing. There was an uncomfortable silence

"Hay Amy you should stay so you can congratulate them!" Knuckles said finally busting out laughing.

Sonic shot him an agitated glair.

Amy said nothing as knuckles looked up at sonic and he tried to keep a straight face.

"Is he really nervous about me being here?" Amy Thought. She liked that thought so she pushed further.

"Good idea!" Amy said walking to Sonics left side.

"Yah, good idea." Sonic grumbled still looking at knuckles.

Knuckles couldn't hold it in any longer; he keeled over and cracked up laughing.

"Here they are!" Tails announced.

Sonic looked at Tails and nodded.

"How would you guys like to become freedom fighters?" Sonic asked

"Ooh cool" Maria said.

"I don't know, do we have to eat chilly dogs?" Julie-su said in her English accent with a straight face.

Sonic smiled "only if you want to."

In the background the laughing had stopped. Sonic peered over to knuckles and chuckled. Knuckles looked like he'd seen a ghost, though he was staring at Julie-su. Julie-su looked over at knuckles, and knuckles immediately looked away; at sonic or the sky.

Julie-su groaned and rolled her eyes while Maria giggled.

"Karma," Sonic announced chuckling again "so do you or not Julie-su."

Julie-su sighed "I guess."

"Cool!" Amy said running to Maria and hugging her.

Maria wasn't shy with Amy so she hugged back. Maria broke the hug and looked at Amy, "Like the outfit!"

Amy smiled "thanks!"

"Common! Let's get your communicators," Amy said pulling Maria to sonic.

Julie calmly walked behind them. And knuckles watched her until Julie gave him a dirty glair.

Sonic handed them a compass looking things and started to explain how they worked. In the middle of his explaining Julie walked away; tourds knuckles. Knuckles had been looking at the sky when he saw a glimpse of Julie approaching. He looked at her and noticed she was looking at him. There eyes locked. Knuckles wanted to look away but he knew this probably wouldn't ever happen again. Then before he knew it they were shoulder to shoulder both looking the opposite direction.

"Do understand that for every time you look at me you will have a migraine." She whispered a smooth promise.

He then had a confused look on his face. Where she turned around and walked back. Now he was truly confused because every time he looked at her he begun to have a headache.

Maria: ooo, cool so i'm part of the freedom fighters?

Blaze: oh yah that's great

Maria: wait that meens i'm againts shadow?

Lizzy: wah wah waahhh

Maria: you know i can still rember 'mmmm'

Blaze: voodoodall stop writing befor she gives it away
