I awaken slowly, vision blurry as moonlight hits my face. I immediately feel a throbbing headache coming on as I slowly sit up. Where am I? After the pain faded away, I noticed I was inside some sort of wooden building. Nearby there is a rack, filled with hundreds of tools and trinkets. A rather large computer of some sort was on the other side of the small room. As I looked towards the window, I saw a spiky figure, sitting in a chair, sound asleep. I stood up slowly, stumbling a bit as I regained my strength. I stepped slowly towards the blue spiked figure. I stopped. What if this person was with Dr. Robotnik? Is it a trap? I'm not going to risk it.

Slowly, I stepped away from the blue creature. I snuck towards a nearby door, leading outside. I opened it slowly with the greatest of care not to make a sound. It was rather warm and humid in this area, surrounded by mountains and dense forest. It was then that I noticed I had lost my cover. It was the only thing keeping me dry and warm. I was filthy! I need to clean myself up before I go anywhere. Luckily with this warm environment, I won't need my cover. I started my walk towards the nearest body of water. Guided by the bright light of the full moon, I soon located a rather small lake, not far from the building I exited. A small waterfall is the source. Perfect. Normally, Giordano lets me clean myself up in his own home, but I have learned to use the environment to my advantage. I arrived at the lake a short time later.

Bracing myself, I slowly stepped into the cool water, noticing how clear it is. I sighed in relief, it felt so refreshing! I carefully scrubbed any dirt from my fur, making sure to clean particular areas well. I always loved water, I swam around joyously for a few sweet moments, bathing in the clear water and moonlight. Looking up at the stars, it made me wonder if I'm ever going to get back home…but enough of that. I rinsed myself off and slowly stepped out of the water. Still wet, I continued my walk towards the forest, noticing an odd green light emitting from there. Stepping through thick brush and debris, it took me who knows how long to get through here, before I come across a dead end, a steep cliff. A brief green shimmer of light catches my eyes, and I look straight up. Amazingly, there was a large floating island! I just stood there, gazing at the greenish glow coming from it. There doesn't seem to be a way to get up there…

Moments later, a sudden gust of air sweeps me off my feet. I regain my balance quickly though, I was getting too close to the edge of the cliff. As I began to relax, an even stronger gust surprises me from behind, blowing me off my feet again, and lifting my light body. "Ahh!" I was scared, I didn't want to be dropped into the sharp rocks below! I close my eyes tightly and brace myself for a painful drop. Seconds felt like minutes, until I felt a slight drop, then I land on my back on what felt like soft grass. I slowly open my eyes to what appears to be some kind of ancient ruin. Rubble lays everywhere, except for a few stone pillars. I was cold, being so high up in the air. I was guessing I'm on the floating island. I slowly step into the field of ruins, looking at some of the images engraved in them. I notice the green light again, this time much brighter and closer. Only a small hill hid the source. I cautiously climb the hill, getting a small tingling feeling throughout my body. As I near the top, I gasp. Before me, stood a massive altar. Inside sat a very large green gem, glowing brightly with some kind of strange power. As the gem's green light shined on me, I felt more alive, almost as if it were attracting me. My mind and vision became cloudy as I slowly stepped towards the gem. Now I stood face to face with the gem, I began to see dark images, then words…

"G….n….dan..ger…."

I was sent back to reality when I suddenly was tackled by something. As my sight came to, I was face to face with a red echidna, who had quite an angry expression.

"What do you think you're doing with the Master Emerald?? Why are you here?" He had a spiked fist raised, ready to strike. He was shaking, he must have been sleeping.

"Ahh! I didn't mean to…!" I said with my eyes clenched shut. I held my hand up in defense.

"Knuckles! Stop!" Yelled a sudden young voice.

Within a few seconds, a familiar blue spiky figure appears behind us.

"She's with me! Don't hurt her!" He said calmly, knowing he made it in the nick of time.

"Who is this? And why did she come here?" The frustrated echidna asked.

"We don't know. We found her when we stopped Eggman's machine yesterday."

The echidna looked down at Sabrina, now noticing that she was naked and shivering from the cold. "Oh, uh…sorry…" He quickly said, getting off of her with a slight embarrassed blush on his face.

The blue figure held a gloved hand out. "Here. Sorry about that, Knuckles is always hardheaded like that."

"Hmph!" The echidna growled.

I slowly reached up and gripped his hand, he pulled me to my feet.

"Eggman's machine nearly got you yesterday, are you alright?"

The memory suddenly snapped back to me. The robot that tried to capture me. Did this blue hedgehog rescue me?

"I-I'm fine…thank you…" I quietly said, looking at the ground nervously.

"You must be freezing up here. Where did you come from? Do you have a home?" The echidna asked, a little worried she may get sick staying up here.

"Yes, I do, in Station Square…" I said, shivering, the cold is really getting to me. I can't seem to believe these two can stay up here s long, they don't even wear clothes!

"Hmm, I know someone that can let you stay in for the night. She can help you get back home." The blue hedgehog said. "By the way, I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. And that's Knuckles." The echidna gave a small wave of his hand.

I was in disbelief. These two are willing to help me get home?? I've never met anyone so generous!

"Really?? Thank you so much…and I'm Sabrina…" Suddenly, I felt dizzy, beginning to lose my footing. "Ohh…"

"Whoa! It's too cold up here for you, you better get off of here before you freeze up." Sonic said, holding her upright.

"Ok…but how are we going to get off of here? It's so high up…" I asked nervously, I never exactly liked heights…

"Easy! Hang on tight!" The blue hedgehog said before suddenly scooping me up in his arms, and taking a big leap off the edge of the island.

"WAAAHHH!!" I yelled in fear, closing my eyes tightly. It was only a few seconds before I felt a firm thump.

"You can open your eyes now." Said the blue hedgehog, a bit unimpressed by her reaction.

I slowly open my eyes. We were back at the dead end cliff. I look up to see Knuckles sitting at the edge of the floating island, giving a quick wave. It was only now a short walk until we return to the small workshop where I woke up.

"I'll have Amy take you back to Station Square tonight. She'll let you stay the night and get you home tomorrow. Ok?" Sonic said.

"Ok, that's fine…thank you…" I said, excited but also exhausted.

Within moments we arrive back at the workshop, which was now lit up with lights. As we entered, a small boy fox was sitting at a worktable, using a welding tool on some gadgets. He put down the tool and lifted his protective goggles, looking at us. "Hey! You got her back!" He said excitedly.

"Yeah, she was on Angel Island for some reason, I got her just in time before Knuckles got to her. She's alright, and I'll have Amy take her home." Sonic said, grabbing a nearby phone and dialing a number.

"Great! But I still want to know a few things. Why did that robot attack you?" The fox asked, examining a piece of metal from the bot.

"I'm not really sure, but I think it was sent out to capture me and bring me back to Dr. Robotnik."

"Oh? You mean Eggman, right? Why would he be after you? You don't have any chaos emeralds…" Sonic said, thinking.

"I was told he was capturing young people to use them for some kind of experiment. I don't know exactly what it is though…" I said, trying to remember my events at his prison facility.

As we were thinking, someone knocked on the door. Sonic walked to answer it. "That must be…!!" Before he could finish, a pink hedgehog busted through the door, tackling Sonic to the floor and hugging him tightly. "Oh Sonic! I'm so happy to see you!" It was a few seconds of struggling before the pink hedgehog finally released her death grip on Sonic. "So what did you call me over for?"

Sonic had to catch his breath for a few seconds before answering. "This is Sabrina." He said, pointing to me. "We found her yesterday after one of Eggman's bots tried to capture her, but we took care of it. She said she lives in Station Square, so why don't you let her say at your apartment tonight and help her get home tomorrow?"

"Of course I will! Looks like she needs some clothes too. I think I can give you a few sets! Come on, we better go before we miss the train!" She said before grabbing my hand and dragging me out the door. "Bye Sonic!"

It was a short trek through the field before we arrived at the small train station near the ocean. Within a few minutes, a subway train rolls in, opening its doors. "Come on! We'll take the empty car so nobody sees you like that. We'll be back in Station Square in no time!" Amy said cheerfully. Soon the train begins quietly rolling towards the city. It's a ten minute ride before we finally arrive at the Station Square station.

"We're here! Let's go to my apartment, you can stay the night with me and get some clothes!" Amy said happily as we exited the station. It was only a two block walk until we arrive at the apartment complex. I've never been at this part of the city before. We climb three floors up until we arrive at a pink door. "Here we are!" Amy unlocks the door, revealing one of the pinkest place on the planet. Pink walls, pink carpet, pink everything. Anything not pink would be the hundreds of Sonic-related merchandise, photographs, and dolls. A little obsessive, don't you think? Amy led me into a small bedroom, which was not as brightly colored as the rest of the apartment.

"You can sleep in here tonight. I was saving it for Sonic, but you know how he is! Always running about, saving the world…Ahhh…isn't he wonderful?" She sighed dreamily. "Anyway, get cozy while I find some clothes for you!" She rushes off to her own bedroom, rummaging through her closet.

I sat on the soft, bouncy bed as I looked out the window, showing the vast moonlit ocean. "Saving the world?…" I kept my thoughts to myself as Amy soon returned with a single set of clothes.

"I found just the thing! I bought these yesterday, but they're too big for me, try them on!" She said, leaving the room and closing the door behind her. She gave me a single pair of blue denim jeans, a blue denim short-sleeved jacket, a white tank top, a bra, a pair of panties, and a pair of socks. I was never used to this type of clothing, so it took a little struggling to slip everything on. Within a few minutes, I managed to get all dressed up. It actually felt pretty snug. The bra felt a little weird though, but I think I can get used to it. "Ok…" I slowly open the door and step out.

"Oh my gosh! It's perfect! Is anything too tight?" Amy said excitedly, checking my waist if the jeans were too tight. "Great! Now all we need to do is get you home tomorrow!"

"Yeah…I'll finally be home…" I said, actually smiling for once. Tomorrow it will all be over, I'll be back with Gio.

"Where do you live anyway?" Amy asks curiously.

"In the slums…I know it's not a pretty place for someone like you, but someone very kind that takes care of me." I said.

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Giordano, the restaurant owner." I say, a little embarrassed.

"Oh! I know him! Sonic took me on a date there once! Such a great place to eat too!" Amy says, recalling a date that was actually done because of a bet Sonic lost to Knuckles. "I know where the restaurant is! I can take you straight to him tomorrow. Get plenty of rest tonight, I bet he's going to be so happy to see you! Goodnight!" Amy said before leaving to her own room.

As I laid down in the bed, I was thinking of how I can thank these guys for helping me. Wait, didn't they check me for some kind of emerald? Chaos emerald, wasn't it? Hmm, I'm too tired, I'll think about it more tomorrow…
