Chapter 7 – Secrets

As I was asleep Steph and the others where talking about me.

"So what has Maria put you through?" Steph asked as she leaned back and crossed her legs

"Well not much we have not had much to do lately see we needed to do something" said Amy

"Ya, Maria is something I mean with all, that she does, something had to happen." Steph said

"What do you mean?" Tails asked

"Well her with the title every thing became so easy for her really." Said Steph

"What title?" asked Sonic.

"She did not tell you…" said Steph All of them shook there head. "Well did she tell you her name then?"

'Her name is Maria right?" questioned Tails

'No that is what she introduces he self as. Her real first name is Maria-Emerald, her middle name is Chaos and her last mane is Rockenhouser." Expanded Steph. Everyone looked at one another.

'Go on" said Knuckles

"Well what type of school we go to?" asked Steph. They shook there head

"Well, Maria and I got to a school of advanced art. She is there because she can draw; oh those drawings are so pretty." Chime Steph

"Can we see one?" asked Amy, Steph nodded he head and walked over to the desk and opened a draw that Sonics body was blocking. She pulled out a drawing that I did of Sonic when I got back. It was in black and white bit it looked like it was real. It was the pose that sonic does when he closes one eye and holds up his hand to a thums up. Steph passed it so Amy.

"Wow this is really good." Said Amy passing it off to Knuckles.

'I agree." He passed it to Tails.

"Wow, I never thought that she could draw." Said Tails as he got up and passed it to Sonic. He looked at for a moment.

"Hum, of Corse she has some hidden talent that we never knew about" he said passing it back to Steph

"Well if what you say is true that this next thing is going to be very surprising." Said Steph everyone directed there action to Steph once more.

"She is the head cheerleader for the team, but on top of that she got the name of most flexible person in California." Explained Steph. Everyone's mouth dropped open.

"No way." Amy said barley getting the words out. "Well she did say some thing like joining the team if she made the jumps to save sonic but I never thought she really would."

"She should have told you, I'm sorry" Steph said

'No it is okay, if she did not tell us by now who know when we would have found out." Said Sonic.

"what was her full name again?" asked Knuckles.

"Maria-Emerald" said Steph.

"What are you doing?" asked Tails. Knuckles walked over to me and placed his head up to my ear.

"MARIA-EMERALD" he yelled. I shot up so hard that the wooden chair I was in fell strait back. Once I hit the ground I flipped back and landed on my stomach.

"What ever it is I did not do it" I said covering my face, in confusion. Once I moved my hands I saw Knuckles, standing in front of me with hi arms crossed and his foot tapping like he was mad. I was still on my stomach and I looked at Sonic and Tails where glaring at me and Amy was in shock. I tried to avoid Knuckles; I could feel his glare burn in the side of my head.

"What did I not do that I should have done and I am regretting right now?" I asked.

"What is your name?" Knuckles asked

"Maria." I replied once more.

"Knuckles, give her a brake a lot has happened to her." Said Amy. Knuckles help up his hand and was focused on me.

"Can I get up?" I asked, Knuckles shook his head no. so I staid where I was.

"What is your full name?" He barked

"Why do you want to know?" I asked back. That did not make him Happy at all, He grabbed me and shoved me against the wall. His hands where on my mid arm. I noticed that my feet where not touching the floor.

"Name!"

"Maria-Emerald Chaos Rockenhouser"

"What type of school!"

"LA school of advanced art"

"Why!"

"I can draw" At this point all the frighten tears I have been trying to fight back where making them self present.

"What team are you on!"

"Cheerleading I am the Capitan"

"Title!"

"Most flexible person in California"

"What else do we not know about you!"

"My favorite color is Blue." With me saying that he let go of me and I fell on my knees and I was in complete shock. Steph walked over to me.

"I'm sorry, I told them. I had no clue that that was going to happen." She said. I looked at her, I was not mad just scared a little.

"it is ok, I was going to tell them tomorrow any way." I said. I let a smile cross my face. I was not hurt so I needed to tell that to Steph. Amy walked over to me.

"You really are a good drawer." Said Amy as she helped me up.

"What one did you see?" I asked

"The first one." Said Steph.

"You kept that one? That one was really bad." I said as I walked over t the bed and sat down.

"There are others?" asked Sonic. I nodded my head.

"Steph do you still have the binder?" I asked, she thought about it for a moment and then went over to her desk and pulled out a binder. On the front of the binder it said, "Mobius Friends". Steph knew who to hand it to so she walked over to Sonic and placed the binder on what would be my lap. He looked at me and then the binder. He opened the binder and started to look though some of the pages.

"I really tried on those, I did not know if I was ever going to see you again so I wanted to make sure I remembered what it was like." I said, I had more to say but Sonic cut me off.

"You talk to much" he said flipping a page. I shut my mouth and Knuckles started to laugh. When a note fell in to my lap. Amy saw the note as well and looked over my shoulder to see what it had said.

"Maria,

I am so sorry for telling them,

Aren't you scared of Knuckles now?"

the note came from Steph, I found a pencil and started to write in the empty space of the paper and Amy was still looking over my shoulder.

Steph,

I know it was not your fault,

No I am not scared of knuckles I think he has O.C.D. and a few other things so I kind of expected it.

Before I folded it I showed it to Amy, she would have went mental if she did not see it. I passed it to Steph and I knew that that would be the last of the note passing because In a few moments she fell asleep. The binder had gone from Sonic to Tails to Amy and was now being looked through by Knuckles. I wanted to know what Knuckles thought Sure most of the Pitchers where of Amy and Sonic but I tried the hardest on Knuckles.

"So how are they?" I asked as he shut the binder.

"They are good" he opened it once more and found a special one. "I really like this one" he pointed to one that was in color. The seen that I saw before I was stuffed in the sack. The fire pit at a soft red glow, everyone huddled near it asleep. At the top of the page slightly over lapping was two pitchers of Shadow and Knuckles.

"You really like that one?" I asked Knuckles nodded his head. "If you want it you can have it." I said.

"You would do that?"

"It is my drawing, I can give it to who ever I want." I said.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you, when I got the information out of you." He said

" I was not hurt, I was just surprised." I said. I grabbed hold of the binges and took the drawing out of the page protector and handed it to him.

"Take it" I said. he stared at me for a moment and took the Paper.

"Thank you" he said

"No problem." I looked around and I saw that everyone was asleep so I curled up on what space there was on the bed and started to sleep as well. I deiced that in the morning I was going to take a shower and wash the day off.
