"Gaarh! I can't believe you'd do that too me!" Amy sobbed, and knelt down next to Sonic, "Don't leave me!" She begged.
"Sonic! Let her come with us." Tails insisted.
"No way. This time I'm not dragging her around." Sonic turned away from her.
"That was cold, man." Knuckles sighed.
"I'm so out of here." Rouge flew out the window.
"Yeah. Sonic, I thought we were a team." Shadow tapped his foot impatiently.
"She's not coming." Sonic started walking away from the crying Amy.
"I don't want to be a part of this anymore. I'm gone." Knuckles walked coolly out of the stone chamber.
"Same. Come on, Tails, Let's go." Shadow paced outside the chamber with Tails by his side.
"Fine! Don't be a team! I don't want to see any of you ever again!!!" Sonic screeched, and streaked out the door. Amy, trying to control her sobs, followed Shadow.

"Mom! I hate this dress!" A pink-and-black hedgehog girl screamed through her bedroom door. "It's so ugly!" Her mom had picked out the dress from her old collection, she had so many.
"Ivory! Don't feel that way! It's a beautiful dress." Her mom knocked on the door.
"No. I have my own clothes." Ivory looked down at her baggy jeans and punk top.
"Whatever you want, dear." Her mother sighed, and walked away. Her mother was almost 34 now, and most of her dresses were dreadfully too small for her.
"Shadow. Ivory won't wear any dresses." The mother sat down at the table next to Shadow.
"I know. She's a tomboy, Amy, face it. You can't change her." Shadow sipped some coffee, while looking outside at the beautiful day.
"I know, but I wish she'd just have some friends, you know?" Amy sighed, and sat down at the table next to Shadow. Of course, they were talking about the rest of the Team. They had split up communication a while ago, and Sonic showed no intention on apologizing. The next day was Ivory's first day of 7th grade, she was very excited.
"Mom! Wake up!" Ivory shook Amy hard; Ivory was already stuffing her mouth with toast.
"Ivory Jade! Stop waking up so early! But okay, just let me change and I'll take you." Amy quickly slipped into a red dress she bought at the mall a few days ago. The car ride there was easy going. Except for the speed-bump incident, but that's really another story. "Bye, Ivory!" Her mother whispered out the car door, as her only daughter trudged up the stairs of Twinkle Junior High.
"Hey, I'm Sapphire." A white and blue Echidna, who was assigned the locker below Ivory, announced.
"Oh, Hi. I'm Ivory." She crammed her things into the locker. "Whose teacher you got?"
"Jamesman. You?"
"Yeah same." And from there Sapphire and Ivory really hit if off. They almost instantly became good friends. At lunch time, they'd experienced 3 teachers. Mr. Jamesman, Homeroom and English, Mrs. Geo, Science, and Mr. Tikilo, Math. They'd had a pretty fun time passing notes to each other.
"Hi. Um, can we sit here? Everywhere else is taken." Two green and blue fox boys sat down across from them.
"We're twins. In case you haven't noticed." The blue one addressed the staring girls.
"I'm Blaze." The green one told them, swirling spaghetti on his fork.
"Yah. I'm Chance." The blue one ate a few grapes. They were engrossed in a varying conversation for the rest of the day. Turns out they were in most all of the same classes.
"Ha ha. I guess that makes us CIBS." Sapphire laughed. "Good-bye my fellow CIBS." She ran over to her mom.
"See ya." Chance and Blaze spoke at the same time, then hit each other. "Jynx!" They said at the same time. "We're hopeless. Bye Ivory." They smacked each other some more as the walked down the sidewalk. She got her Game boy out from her backpack, and started playing Sonic Advance.
"Ivory! Get in here, now!" Her dad told her, annoyed.
"What is it dad?" She shut off her game.
"It's time I told you something. Something about my past." He took in a breath, "And I think you'll need to help me."
