Chapter 3: First glimpse
When it was time to go home, everyone rushed out the door, petrified of what Steph might do next to them. A black hedgehog that looked exactly like Shadow the hedgehog except only having one quill and markings being dark blue heard about the news and walked over to Steph with a friendly smile on his face. "Feisty aren't you?" "Huh? Who are you?" "Why, I'm Midnight and you must be Steph, right aren't I?" Steph nodded and said coldly, "look, if you're here to mock me, I'm not interested..."

When Midnight saw how close he was to Steph's face, he looked into her khaki eyes and blushed bright scarlet. "Um Midnight...you can get off me you know?" He came back to reality and zoomed off of her instantly. "Sorry about that. I looked into your eyes and saw sadness..."
