Chapter Twenty-One "Flying over Deep Water"
Trixie Dip and Mint waited for Tails and Tim worrying when Tails flew back with Tim.
"There you are" said Trixie relieved.
"Yes…but they got Vicky and Flame" said Tails.
Trixie clutched at her locket.
"What are we going to do?" said Trixie.
"I don't know…they were very brave to do that, other wise we'd all be caught if they didn't tell us to go" said Tails.
"I can't take it, I couldn't even help my own brother, why are my powers gone? Why can't I get them back?" thought Tim.
"Well I know they wont give up without a fight and we shouldn't either, we need to figure out where they're taking them and why he wants us as captives" said Trixie.
"Do you think the chaos emeralds have something to do with this?" asked Tails.
"I don't know, why?" asked Trixie.
"Well Tai said he needed the emeralds, dose that mean he thinks we know where they are?" said Tails.
"But we don't know where they are" said Trixie.
"But they wont believe Vicky and Flame if they tell them that, and that means they're in great danger" said Tails.
"Then what should we do? Try to catch up with those soldiers? We're not strong enough to fight them" said Dip.
"I know that's the problem" said Tails.
When Trixie looked the other way she saw somebody yelling "hey you up there? Who are you?!"
"Somebody sees us, what should we do Tails?" asked Trixie.
"well…I don't think we should let anyone know we're here, lets get going, we'll go faster if we fly, I'll take Dip and Mint, you can grab Tim" said Tails.
"Ok Tails" said Trixie starting to fly grabbing hold of Tim and speeding ahead.
Tails grabbed Dip and he grabbed Mint.
The person shouting for them to stop was chasing them.
Trixie and Tails sped out of there and started flying over a lake of water to get to the other side.
"Dip I'm slipping!" said Mint.
"Hold on Mint, we'll be away from this guy soon" said Dip.
"No I mean it, I'm slipping" said Mint losing her grip.
"Tails stop!" said Dip.
"I can't I'm over water and Mint can't swim" said Tails.
Mint was barely hanging on to Dip, Dip tried to hold on to her but she fell off.
"Tails! Go down for her!" shouted Dip.
"I'll try but I could loose you too, you can't swim either" said Tails in a panicked voice flying lower.
Dip let go of Tails and dove into the water.
"Dip you can't swim!" shouted Tails flying down to him.
The person they couldn't guess who it was dove into the water too when he saw them.
