The Ice Palace

Blossom's P.O.V

"No no no! That's the complete opposite of what we're trying to do!"

Tikal was patiently trying to explain my Maths homework, but because I didn't pay attention in class, it was hard to understand. Knuckles had his head in his hands and was beginning to get fed up.

"Look, Blossom, why don't you take a break? Maybe go on a walk?"

I nodded and growled as I wandered off through the dense jungles. After quite a while of walking, I stopped for a rest in a little clearing. I closed my eyes in frustration and stomped hard on the ground.

"Why can't I be smart like Tikal? Or strong like Knuckles? Or cool and calm like Rouge? Grrr…"

I threw up my hands in exasperation and let them drop onto my head. I stretched and let my arms fall to my sides, and then I opened my eyes.

"Oh my!"

Although I didn't realise it, my frustration had done something to my powers. By moving my hands around, I had created a huge ice palace around me, with an elegant domed roof.

"Hmm, if I added another floor and some windows and decorations…"

I made a large ice staircase and another floor to the palace. I created walls to make separate rooms and a large ice sculpture formed in the middle of the floor, with water trickling out of it.

"I love this! Time to work on the next floor!"

I was delighted with my powers. I ran up the stairs and crafted some more rooms, and then looked up at the roof. I didn't allow the walls to reach the roof, but rather grow up a few feet and then stop. I spiked the tip of the roof, and made the ice transparent in some places to make windows.

"I have to show Knuckles and Tikal!"

I created a small opening in the wall to make a door and scampered off to where I had left Knuckles and Tikal.

Knuckles' P.O.V

"I'm beginning to get worried about Blossom."

Tikal had finished her homework and was staring at the jungle where Blossom had vanished almost half an hour ago. Suddenly, Blossom came out, grinning in sheer excitement.

"Come on! I have something totally awesome to show you!"

She grabbed my wrist and dragged me and Tikal out and through the jungle. What I saw nearly rendered me speechless.

"Whoa! What the hell is THAT?"

A massive ice PALACE stood in front of us, with a spiky domed roof. There was a hole in the front, obviously to be used as a door. Blossom squeaked and skipped inside. Tikal and I followed warily, and the inside was very grand considering it was made entirely of ice.

"Do you like it? I may make a few tweaks here and there, but still!"

Blossom wandered over to the staircase and ran up it, one paw hovering above the edge. An elegant banister appeared, running along with Blossom.

"How the hell does she do that?"

Tikal was still shocked so her voice was no more than a whisper. I was pretty surprised myself. Blossom padded down the stairs and ran over to where we were standing.

"Let me give you the grand tour!"

She dragged us across the big open area and over to the staircase. I was hesitant to go up it for fear of breaking it. Blossom sensed my anxiety.

"Don't worry! It's perfectly safe."

I didn't really have an option because she went behind me and pushed me up the stairs (she was surprisingly strong for a teenage girl) until we reached the top. More walls, but it was the roof that caught my attention. Domed. Snowflakes. Big pointy top. Wow.

"I may need to get some furniture, but I think I could get used to living here!"

Blossom seemed ecstatic at her magnificent palace, and I had to admit, it was rather impressive (ok, it was too awesome for words) considering she made it inside half an hour.

Blossom's P.O.V

After showing my two echidna friends around, I called Rouge.

"Blossom? What's up hun?"

"Can you come over to Angel Island? I've got something to show you and the others!"

"Sure thing! We'll be there in about ten minutes, ok?"

"See you then!"

I hung up and scampered off to the edge of Angel Island and waited for Rouge and the others. Knuckles had to go back and guard the Master Emerald (Rouge is a master jewel thief) but Tikal stayed with me.

"Look! There they are!"

She pointed to a few cars coming towards us. I grinned and called Silver.

"Silver? Are you in Sonic's car?"

"Yeah why?"

"Hold on tight!"

"Why do I have to-ARGH! NOOOOOOOO!"

I made a massive ice ramp appear in front of Sonic's car, causing it to fly above the others and land with a thump on Angel Island.

"That's why."

I turned off my phone and went to see if Silver was still alive (there was no guarantees in Sonic's car). Fortunately, he was, and he took my advice and had grabbed hold of the seat so tight that he had to prise his fingers from it.

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?"

Sonic did not look impressed because his car got a little bit dented in the landing. I smirked and flicked water in his face, heading off to find my palace.

"Where exactly are we going?"

I turned to look at Blaze and crossed my arms across my chest.

"Blaze, there is one rule for you. Absolutely, positively, NO fire!"

Blaze nodded warily and the nine of them followed me through the Angel Island jungle. I stopped in front of the tree that led into the clearing.

"Are you ready?"

They nodded and I stalked through the trees, turning around to face the shocked group.

"Ta-da!"

Only Shadow (no surprise there) looked impressed and shocked at the same time. Tails (being a scientist) immediately flew over to my palace and started examining it.

"How has it not started melting?"

I couldn't answer him very well. To be perfectly honest, I had no idea how my palace wasn't melting at all.

"I don't really know. Maybe it's because I made the ice?"

Tails shrugged and tapped the ice, trying to discover how it wasn't melting. I was getting bored with the others standing gaping at the palace, so I walked over to my door and stood in front of it.

"Now, for the grand tour! Come on inside!"
