An hour or so later someone knocked on my door. I opened it to see Lilly, Tokei and Dave standing there.

"Hi guys." I said smiling. "Come on in." They came in and sat down.

"I am so bored." Lilly said laughing. I smiled at her.

"I am too!" Tokei said laughing with her. My brothers came downstairs then. Joe stopped when he saw Dave.

"Hey guys." I said smiling. "This is Tokei and Dave."

"Nice to meet you guys." Justin said walking out the door.

"Where's he going?" asked Lilly.

"To see Candy." I said rolling my eyes.

"But he didn't say where he was going." Dave said confused.

"Umm. He told her before you got here." Kevin said quickly.

"Yea. By the way." I said smiling. "That was Justin. This is Joe and Kevin. They're my brothers."

"Nice to meet you guys." Tokei said staring at Lilly. She giggled. Joe walked over and pulled me into the kitchen.

"Why is he here? He's not one of us!" He yelled at me. I backed up a little. I've never seen him like this.

"We don't know that." I said quietly.

"I do! And he's not one of us!" He was still yelling. I heard someone knock on the door, which was still open. I looked over. Dave was standing there.

"Would someone please tell me what's going on?" He asked. I sighed and looked at Joe pleadingly. He shook his head.

"No. We can't trust him."

"Joe! Please!" I yelled, tears welling up in my eyes. He sighed.

"Fine." He said leaving the room. Dave walked over to me.

"What's going on? Please tell me."

"Ok. I'm a hedgehog. My brothers Joe and Kevin are foxes. Justin's a hedgehog like me. And so is Lilly. I can read minds."

"What about Joe? Why did he say 'He's not one of us'?"

"Joe can tell if people are like us. That's why he doesn't like you. You're not one of us."

"What if I am?" he asked. I looked up at him.

"What?"

"I can't change any more…but I was a wolf at one time."

"How come you can't change?"

"Something happened a few years ago, that has stopped me from changing."

"Oh." I said reading his thoughts. "So you can't change at all."

"Nope."

"Wow. That would suck. I really would have liked to see you as a wolf."

"I could try." I smiled and showed him where the bathroom was. He smiled and went in. A few minutes later he came out. It didn't look like him. But it was. He was a wolf. But he was green, red and silver. I smiled and changed right there. Back to my hedgehog self. He smiled.

"It worked." I said.

"Yea. It did. Surprisingly." I growled to myself. "What?"

"I hate pink!" I yelled.

"Then why are you pink?"

"What?"

"You can change color you know."

"I can?"

"Well…I can." He said smiling.

"Really?"

"Yup."

"Ok. Prove it." He turned blue and purple.

"See?"

"Wow…" He turned back to normal. "Wish I could do that."

"Well you can read minds and all that shit cant ya?"

"Yes."

"Then you should be able to do that. Just focus on it." I closed my eyes and focused on a certain color. I opened my eyes and he was smiling. "You did it!"

"I did?" I asked confused. I looked down at my hands. And realized I was wearing my gloves. "Right…" I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I was black now. The tips of my spines were red. And I had red streaks, instead of dark pink, now. I smiled. "YAY!" I screamed. I ran out of the bathroom and hugged him. He was surprised at first but then he hugged back. I heard someone gasp and then a giggle. We pulled apart and looked over at the doorway. Lilly and Tokei were standing there. Lilly was smiling, and so was Tokei. Dave and I looked at each other and took a step apart. We both looked at Lilly and Tokei, then back at each other, and bust out laughing. I read Lilly and Tokei's mind. And they were confused. I smiled.

"You aren't pink anymore!" Lilly yelled.

"Nope." I said smiling.

"How?" I looked at Dave.

"I taught her how to change color." He said smiling. Lilly looked at my stomach.

"Lilly. No. Don't say it!" I pleaded.

"Fine. But he will find out." She said walking away. Tokei followed her. "Were gone." She said as the door slammed. I sighed.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Nothing." I said sitting on the floor. He sat down beside me.

"There's something going on. Why wont you tell me?"

"I just met you."

"That doesn't mean anything."

"That's true…"

"So will you tell me?" I sighed.

"Yes. But my brothers don't even know. So you cant tell them."

"I wont." He promised.

"Ok. I'm pregnant." His eyes widened.

"How long?"

"4 months now." I looked down as the tears welled up again.

"Who's the father?" He asked.

"My ex. Blade. He's in a gang with my dad."

"Ok…Why aren't you together anymore?"

"Someone came between us…"

"Oh."

"And he was too controlling."

"Ahh." He said. The tears started falling. He put his arm around me and pulled me to him. I grabbed onto his fur and cried. I heard someone come downstairs and stop in his tracks. I read his mind. It was Joe. He seemed angry. I pulled away and wiped away my tears.

"What's going on? Why aren't you pink?" He asked.

"Nothing…And I changed color."

"He's one of us?"

"Yes. I told you…"

"Whatever." He turned and walked away. I sighed. Dave looked at me confused.

"What's with him?" He asked.

"He's the one that came between me and Blade…"

"But…He's your brother…"

"I know…"

"Oh." He said looking at the floor.

"Listen. If you wanna leave you can." I said looking at him. He looked at me.

"I don't want to. I'm not leaving you here."

"Why not?"

"I don't trust Joe."

"But he's my brother."

"I still don't trust him."

"Ok. So you're not leaving?"

"No. Not til I know I can trust him." I smiled.

"Fine by me." He smiled. "But you gotta sleep on couch in my room."

"Ok. I'm fine with that." He grabbed his phone and called Tokei, to tell him that he was staying here. He hung up and I showed him my room. He smiled and sat on the couch.
