Kai and Seina glanced out the main window and saw it. The academy was a large strange sculpture, similar to a silver pinecone except skinnier with a large orb at the top and a large silver ring circling the middle of it. Every now and then, little red lights would flash around the academy but then vanish. It seemed a little small though. Seina turned to Blaze and asked, "Can you actually fit this ship in there?"
Blaze laughed and answered, "Of course we can."
Blaze turned toward Sam and Tom. "Sam! Tom!" Blaze said.
"Yes!" they answered.
"Begin the landing," Blaze said.
"Affirmative!" they said.
Sam began to cheer and press a few random buttons. Tom turned to Sam and became annoyed. "Would you be serious?" Tom yelled.
Sam became upset that Tom stopped his fun. "Why do you have to be such a party pooper?" Sam whined.
"What? How dare you call me that!" Tom exclaimed.
"You always nag people to stop their fun. You're the one who really needs to let loose and enjoy life."
"Sam, life isn't a game! You either live it with pride or die in shame!"
"Blah, blah, blah, it's all the same with you. You and your stupid pride and honor."
"At least I'll make it through this war with my honor!"
"Enough!" Blaze yelled.
Seina whispered over to Kai, "Those two are similar to Espio and Charmy Bee."
Kai looked back at Seina. "You would know that how?" he asked.
"I've asked the Chaotix Detectives to help out a few times when someone stole from out house," Seina answered.
Kai looked at Josh and whispered to Seina, "Now that you mention it, Josh over there kinda resembles Vector…"
Seina turned to Josh and examined him from where he sat. After a while he nodded his head 'yes'. "Please fasten you seat belts and hold on," Kati said.
The crew fastened up and held tightly to their seats as the ship pulled into the base. Kai and Seina were wrong to think that the academy was small. As the ship approached, it appeared the academy was a large as a moon or a small planet. "Open all sleeper pods," Blaze said.
"Roger," Josh said.
Somewhere on the ship were pods with all sorts of plants and animals in them, seven of them to be exact. The cadets awoke from their sleep and moved toward the bridge. "Please move toward the entrance Kai and Seina. It's time for departure from the ship," Vanilla said. "Follow me."
Kai and Seina followed Vanilla from the bridge and met up with the other seven cadets. "Okay Kati, take her in nice and easy," Blaze said.
The ship rocked as it entered an opening in the structure. It completely landed calmly on the large floor and all sorts of animals and plants ran up to greet the passengers. The hatch on the ship opened and a silver plank extended from the bottom of the door and stopped at the ground. The crowd cheered as Blaze exited the ship. The next to leave was Vanilla. Then Sam, Tom, Kati, and Josh exited. Then the seven newcomers, along with Kai and Seina exited. Kai spotted Rebecca among the newcomers. "Is that Rebecca?" Kai asked.
"Where!" Seina asked. Kai pointed out Rebecca and Seina ran over; Kai followed after Seina.
"Rebecca! Rebecca!" Seina called out over the crowd. "Seina, wait up!" Kai called.
Rebecca turned and saw Seina and Kai running toward her. She turned to them and waved. "Seina! Sempai! You're here!" she cried.
Seina and Rebecca embraced each other in their arms. Rebecca was crying; she was so happy that Seina and Kai were with her. Seina saw Rebecca crying and asked her what was wrong. Rebecca's eyes were flooded with more tears. She clung tighter to Seina and wept. "Attention cadets!" a voice enhanced by a microphone spoke.
Kai, Seina, and Rebecca turned toward where the voice came from and there stood a crocodile, larger than Josh but with headphones and a golden chain-necklace around his neck. "This is commander Vector speaking and I bid you all welcome to the Revolution Army!"
The crowd cheered as Vector finished his speech. "Here, we put our life on the lines to keep our world safe from the threats of others. As most of you are aware of, we've been fighting a war with the notorious Dr. Ivo Eggman Robotnik for some time now and the outlook seems grim. But as I can see from our new recruits, we can win this war!"
The crowd cheered again after Vector finished. Rebecca still held fast to Seina. Kai looked about and saw a familiar face, Samantha! "Samantha?"
Kai blinked and rubbed his eyes. Upon reopening them, he saw Samatha's face had disappeared. Seina turned to Kai and tugged his tank top. "What's wrong Kai?" he asked
"I could have sworn I saw Samantha here," Kai said.
"Most unlikely," Seina said, "Otherwise she would have been among the rest of us."
"Attention officer Josh!" Vector said.
Josh saluted and responded, "Yes commander Vector?"
"Take the cadets to their resting quarters."
And with that said Vector left the stage. Josh turned to the nine newcomers and signaled them to follow him. As the newcomers followed Josh, Kai watched as a purple one-horned chameleon, Espio, approached the stage. "Attention men and women! We have devised a plan to strike at Eggman's fleet…"
Espio's voice faded and faded away as Kai left the room.
Josh led everyone to a special room down a long hallway. The door opened and there stood another hallway with five rooms on each side; the whole room led to a dead end at the end of the hall. Everyone entered the hallway and stopped at the rooms with their names on them. "These are you sleeping quarters," Josh stated. "You are free to enter each others rooms but only to socialize. If we catch you doing anything rash or anything perverted, you will be punished."
Josh left the hallway and left everyone to socialize and prepare their own beds. Kai was nearly finished when a flower walked up to him. This was defiantly a male, since it only wore a shirt of sorts. His head was yellow and had hair similar to a normal dandelion. Connecting his shirt sides was a blue gem that was perfectly round; two more gems were on the ends of his long sleeves. She reached out his hand toward Kai. "Some of us say you look a lot like Sonic but you've got your own style to look like Sonic," he said.
Kai nervously laughed and shook his hand. "Um thanks," he said. "My name's Kai."
"My name is Alex," the dandelion said, "I'm a dandelion in case you didn't know."
Kai turned to his head and noticed his shaggy hair. "Um, yeah. I kind of figured."
Alex examined the bulge in Kai's pocket and pointed toward it. "What's that in there?" he asked.
Kai was startled but had to think fast. If he showed him the Chaos Emerald everyone would try to steal it like that one girl, Rouge. Maybe he should lie about it, yeah! They'd never suspect a thing. "Oh nothing," Kai said, "it's just a small family heirloom…"
Alex glared at Kai; Kai began to back away. "That isn't a family heirloom, don't lie to me," he said.
Seina and Rebecca saw that Kai was talking to Alex and walked over. Seina waved his hand to Alex as Rebecca and he approached him. "Are you a friend of Kai?" Rebecca asked; her tears had been long gone.
Alex turned to Rebecca felt something strike his heart. He walked up to Rebecca and held her hands. "Ah, from Hell to Heaven I leap with joy. Has one never seen such beauty in any of the four corners of the galaxy?" he flirted.
Rebecca nervously laughed and began to back away. "Yeah…nice to meet you too," Rebecca said.
Seina pulled Rebecca away from Alex. "I'm sorry but she's busy getting acquainted with her new surrounding," Seina growled.
Rebecca turned to Seina with hope and confusion. Was he in love with her? "Okay, we'll chat afterwards," Alex stated.
As Alex started to leave, he turned to Kai and shook hands with him. "This is the start of a wonderful friendship," Alex said.
He turned back to Rebecca and winked. "And this is the start of a beautiful relationship."
Rebecca only waved back, she was a little uneasy at the moment. Seina waved as well but in a more stubborn and angry way, except his face hid away his anger with a cheesy smile. Rebecca turned to Seina and saw this. "Is something wrong Seina?" she asked.
Seina slowly turned his head toward Rebecca and brightened the cheesy look. "Is something…wrong? No…nothing is…wrong…"
She could tell by how Seina spoke he was angry that Alex had flirted with her. Rebecca smiled and leaned forward toward Seina. "You aren't jealous of Alex are you?" she asked.
Seina was startled but quickly answered, "No, of course not. I'm just worried he might do something bad to you."
Rebecca smirked at Seina. "You're hiding certain emotions from me," she said.
Seina jumped but quickly responded, "Hell no! We're just…friends after all…right? I mean…why would I ever…you know…yeah…"
Rebecca smirked at his but quickly turned to Kai. "By the way, what is that you have in your pocket?" she asked.
Kai turned to Rebecca and put his finger to his mouth, signaling her to be quiet. Rebecca looked at Kai in confusion but listened to what he said. Kai walked up to her and said, "Promise you won't tell anyone else?"
Rebecca nodded 'yes' and sat down. Kai pulled out the Chaos Emerald from his pocket and showed it to Rebecca. "Amazing isn't it?" Seina asked.
Rebecca stared at the strange gem and held it in her hands. "Where'd you get something like this?" she asked.
"It's a long story, I'll spare you the details," Kai said.
"By the way Rebecca," Seina started, "How is it that you got involved in the Revolution army?"
Rebecca became sad and began to tell Seina and Kai how she came to be on the Annon. "My father was in the Revolution army, his name was Jason. He had been fighting in the war for almost two years against Eggman's forces, and his squad would normally come out on top. But one-day Eggman's fleet ambushed him with a machine that resembled a hedgehog. No one survived the ambush except for my father. As he tried to save his comrades some unknown hedgehog that was in the area shot him, or so the soldiers that came to give us the bad news stated."
"So that's why you only live with your mother!" Kai exclaimed.
"But you said they were divorced!" Seina exclaimed in shock.
"The Revolution army was meant to remain a secret from outsiders," Rebecca said.
"Outsiders?" Kai asked.
"Please continue," Seina said.
"So it was my duty to join the Revolution army when I turned 17 years of age."
"And yesterday was your birthday…" Seina softly spoke.
"But the worst happened. As I undressed to take a bath, something attacked our part of the suburbs. An explosion came from downstairs and the whole roof began to cave in. If I hadn't been in the tub when that happened, I would have died."
Kai and Seina's eyes widened with disbelief. "I crawled out of the rubble and fortunately my clothes made it down safely with me. I took a look around and saw that the entire neighborhood had been bombed somehow. I found my mother underneath a heap of rubble…" tears began to flow from Rebecca's eyes, "I tried to save her but her body couldn't take the weight of the building. She died after I managed to pull her free from the rubble, that's when the Annon came down and picked me up. I had to go into a state of suspended animation to make the pain go away…"
Seina turned to Kai. As if Kai read Seina's mind, he nodded 'yes'. Both Kai and Seina sat next to Rebecca and rubbed her shell. Tears still fell from but Rebecca's eyes but was smiling, smirking to be exact.
"You idiots, you always do this whenever I'm upset," she said.
Kai looked over Rebecca's shell. "Well, it usually calms you down," he said.
Seina looked over the other side of Rebecca's shell. "Just hope nobody gets the wrong idea about this," he added.
Rebecca's tears dried and she smirked some more.
"Come now, this barely looks like anything perverted," she said.
Seina smirked as he moved over to Rebecca's side. "You're right," he said.
He began to tickle a side area on Rebecca's stomach, the most ticklish part of any organism. "This is!" Seina laughed.
Rebecca began to squirm and thrash about. "Hahaha, Siena! That isn't fair!" Rebecca laughed.
"Correction," Kai stated.
He joined in with Seina and tickled her other side. "Now it isn't fair!" Kai laughed.
Now Rebecca was thrashing about like crazy. She laughed really hard and started to squeak a little. "Hey, hahaha, stop it!" she laughed.
A nearby officer passed down the hall. She could hear everyone socializing and introducing themselves to everyone around them but Rebecca's laugh was the loudest thing in the hall. She stopped in front of the corridor and peeked inside. "What in the world?"
"Hey you!" a nearby voice yelled.
The officer stopped peeking and saluted the voice. "Yes officer Mighty!" she officer said.
The officer that stopped the peeking one turned out to be Mighty the armadillo. "What do you think you're doing at these hours?" he asked her.
"Nothing, I thought I heard the laugh of an old friend in there," she said.
"Report to the main hall, we've received contact from Knuckles!" Mighty said.
"Yessir!" she said.
As Mighty and the officer walked toward the main hall, the officer took one last glance at the room. "Was that Rebecca I just heard?" she thought.
She then ran to catch up with Mighty and continued to proceed to the main hall.
Kai and Seina stopped tickling Rebecca and calmed down. "Whew, that was fun," Seina said.
"You always do that to me!" Rebecca yelled. Vector's voice could be heard over the monitor.
"Cadets, please proceed to your own rooms and change for curfew."
Kai, Seina, and Rebecca turned to each other. The door said that all three of them would be sleeping together with someone named Sophie. Rebecca began to blush and was about to say something to Kai and Seina. Kai and Seina interrupted her before she could start her sentence. "Don't worry, we won't watch," Kai said.
"Unless of course you'd allow us," Seina taunted.
Kai then laughed, "Yeah, as if!"
Seina joined in laughing, "I guess I was stupid to think that after all!"
Rebecca would have made a comeback at set them off except she was lacking something underneath her shirt so she remained silent. "Maybe some other time," Rebecca taunted.
Kai and Seina turned to Rebecca with disbelief. "Just kidding," Rebecca laughed.
The door behind them opened and there stood a bat in front of it.
Kai, Seina, and Rebecca turned to her; Kai and Seina backed away from her. "I-is that Rouge!" Seina asked.
"I don't know but I really don't want to know," Kai shivered.
"Oh ho, so we have a few men sleeping with us tonight?" the bat asked.
Kai and Seina lifted their heads. That wasn't Rouge, Rouge sounded a little older than this girl did. She did look almost exactly like Rouge but upon closer inspection revealed that she wore a normal less revealing outfit, had green eyes while Rouge had light-blue eyes, and her chest size was a little bit smaller than Rouge's. Kai and Seina lifted their heads and approached the bat. "You must be Sophie," Kai said.
"The one and only," she boasted.
Sophie examined Seina a little, mostly his face. "For a second, I almost mistook you for Knuckles…except you don't look like the easily fooled type," she said.
She then noticed Kai and the Chaos Emerald he was holding. Sophie ran up to Kai and looked in awe at the Chaos Emerald. "No way! You must be that kid who trained with Sonic!" she said.
Kai looked at her with confusion. "Excuse me? Where'd you get that?" he asked.
"Everyone knows, my fellow hedgehog," she said.
She moved her finger up Kai's forehead. "You know, I love men who can harness the power of the emeralds but there are only a handful of them out there," she said.
"W-w-wait! I can't—"
"Starting tonight, I'll be your fiancé, deal?" Sophie asked.
Kai started at Sophie with disbelief. "F-f-f-f-fiancé!" he exclaimed.
"Yup," she smiled.
Rebecca intervened between Sophie and Kai. "Hold it, busty!" she yelled, "Kai's already engaged to someone!"
"Kai, lose the armadillo. She's not as mad for you as I am," Sophie told Kai.
Rebecca was shocked by what Sophie said. "I'm not with Kai!" Rebecca said.
"Oh really?" Sophie asked. "Well lose whomever, Kai. I can bring you true happiness as your fiancé."
Kai backed away. "Thanks but I'm kinda tired," Kai said.
"I think I can wake you up a little," Sophie said.
She began to take off her shirt to change into her nightwear. "Keep your eyes on me," Sophie said.
"Turn away Kai!" Rebecca yelled.
Despite how tempting Sophie's offer was Kai knew it was wise to turn away. As Kai and Seina kept their eyes on the Chaos Emerald, Rebecca and Sophie were changing. Sophie stared at Rebbeca in utter confusion. "Why aren't you wearing anything underneath your shirt?" Sophie asked.
Rebecca yelled, "Hey, not so loud!"
Sophie smirked at Rebecca. "You weren't planning anything with any of these two were you?"
Rebecca was outraged by what she heard. "Don't be ridiculous!" she yelled, "I just couldn't find anything to wear after my house collapsed!"
"Yeah sure," Sophie taunted, "Or at least that's what you want me to think."
"Shut up!" Rebecca yelled.
"Are you finished yet?" Seina asked.
He made the mistake of turning around and saw Rebecca and Sophie undressed. Seina passed out and fell from the bed he was on. Kai, while covering his eyes, picked up Seina. "Sorry about that girls," Kai laughed while keeping his eyes shut.
Sophie tried to get at Kai by yelling, "Hey, look at this!"
Kai answered with, "No thanks, wake me in the morning!"
Kai placed Seina in his bunk, and Seina twitched every so often. The next time Kai opened his eyes, Rebecca and Sophie were dressed in nightgowns. "Good night girls," Kai said.
Sophie smirked and crawled into her bed. "Good night fiancé," Sophie said.
"Don't call me that," Kai responded.
Seina, Rebecca, and Sophie all fell asleep. Kai tucked himself in and took one last look at the Chaos Emerald. "If only Samantha were here…" he thought to himself.
Kai suddenly heard a noise from outside. He saw two figures sneaking around from one room over to the other rooms. Kai quietly crawled out of his bed and snuck out of the room. He followed close behind the two figures and grabbed them. He spun them around and they turned out to be a weasel and a lily pad. The weasel was red-furred with hazel eyes like Kai's and wore a leather jacket and baggy tan pants. The lily pad wore a sort of jacket that had only a diamond connecting the two sides together and had a large lily pad on his head, similar to a hat (thus giving him his plant identity). They were wearing towels tied around their faces, save for their eyes. They nervously chuckled at Kai after Kai grabbed them.
"Who are you and what are you two doing?" Kai demanded.
The two signaled him to be silent. Kai stared in confusion as they signaled him to lower his head. They approached his ear and whispered. "Stay quiet," the weasel whispered.
"You want us to get caught and punished?" the lily pad whispered.
"You still haven't told me who you are and what you're up to," Kai whispered.
"Okay, my name is Ben," the weasel whispered.
"And my name is Nebula," the Lily pad whispered.
"Okay, now what are you doing?" Kai whispered.
"We're sneaking peeks," Ben chuckled.
"Not really, I'm just following Ben for the heck of it," Nebula whispered.
Kai and Ben stared at Nebula for that was the stupidest reason to be out and about. Ignoring that, Kai turned to Ben and began to scold him. "You know you're not allowed to do anything perverted!" Kai whispered. "This is as perverted as it gets! Have you no shame!"
Ben smirked at Kai. "This isn't the most perverted thing someone can do," Ben whispered. "Doing it with someone is what they were referring to."
"And Sophie seems to cast that rule aside," Nebula added.
"You know Sophie?" Kai whispered.
"Yes, she's a childhood friend," Nebula whispered.
"She was a huge fanatic of Sonic, being that he saved her life once when she was little," Ben whispered.
"She's a bit of a you-know-what, like Rouge," Kai whispered.
Ben and Nebula stared at Kai with utter confusion. "Around you?" Nebula asked.
"Sort of…"
"Oh, that's because she thinks you're like Sonic," Ben whispered. "You're a lucky devil to win Sophie over, she's got a nice bust size."
"You pervert!" Kai whispered.
"Oh come now, don't tell me you aren't tempted," Nebula taunted.
"No! I'm not tempted," Kai whispered.
"You are a failure of a hedgehog, it's in every male's blood to peek! Are you even a guy?" Ben whispered as he began to peek into one of the rooms.
Kai was furious and tackled Ben, but that pushed open the door. Two girls, a rose and a cat, were in the room. The rose looked like Cosmo except had red eyes and white roses on her head (she usually wore the same sort of outfit that Lumina wore) and the cat looked similar to Blaze except had light blue eyes and dark fur with gray stripes (She wore more casual clothes like a white shirt that said "Neko" on it and black colored pants). The rose was half undressed but the cat unfortunately was fully undressed at the moment. Ben started to back away but Kai caught him by the arms.
"Sorry to intrude," Kai said, "but I had to stop this perv."
The rose and the cat glared at Ben. Ben nervously chuckled and stuttered to come up with an excuse. They clobbered Ben and Nebula. The two ran back to their rooms in pain. Kai taunted them as they ran and was about to leave. "Your welcome girls," Kai said as he began to leave.
Before Kai could leave, the cat and the rose grabbed the back of his shirt. They both glared at Kai and Kai struggled to get out of their grasp. "Please, I was trying to stop Ben from peeking at your bodies! Is this any form of thanks!" Kai said as he struggled.
"That's still no excuse, you still saw us!" the rose said.
"Please, don't hurt me!" Kai said.
The rose and the cat looked at each other for a moment then turned back to Kai. "Okay, we'll let you go if you answer our questions!" the cat said.
Kai nodded and answered, "Yes, anything! I'll do anything!"
"Okay, who are you?" the rose asked.
"K-Kai! My name is Kai!"
"Two, why were you out and about?" the cat asked.
"I heard Ben and Nebula and wanted to see what they were up to! After I found out, I got mad because Ben said I wasn't a guy since I don't like to peek!"
"Three, is it true that you are the hedgehog who trained with Sonic?" they both asked.
Kai's mind had gone dead and he didn't have time to think about the question before he answered. "Yes! Yes!"
Kai braced himself for what the two might do to him. He opened his eyes and he saw a sparkle in both of their eyes. They let go of his shirt and he started to back away. They approached Kai and grabbed his arms.
"Wow! Do you know how famous Sonic is?" the cat asked.
"He's only the most famous person in the universe!" the rose said.
The two stared at Kai with a brighter twinkle in their eyes. "Will you marry us?" they asked.
Kai's eyes widened at the thought and he began to back away. "It's a little too early to be thinking about that isn't it?" Kai nervously laughed.
"You're seventeen aren't you?" the cat asked.
"Well…yeah?" Kai said.
"Well so are we!" the rose squeaked.
Kai backed away some more. "Umm…aren't you worried I might peek?" Kai said, pointing to the parts of them that were still undressed.
They looked down at their bodies and smiled. "It doesn't bother us," they said, "because you're going to live with us after this war!"
Kai backed away more. "I don't even know your names!" Kai used as a last resort.
"My name is Stephanie," the cat said.
"My name is Cassandra," the rose said.
Kai nervously waved and backed completely out of the room. "Thanks for your offer, but I'm just not ready!" Kai said.
He closed their door and ran back to his room. Stephanie and Cassandra stared at each other and thought.
"How are we going to convince him to marry us?" Cassandra asked.
"Hmm…maybe we should stalk him until he does," Stephanie suggested.
Cassandra glared at Stephanie. "Who are you, Amy Rose? That never works!"
"How about we give him what every man wants?" Stephanie suggested.
Cassandra thought about it for a while. "That's a little risky on two levels," Cassandra said, "but it just might work."
"We'll have Kai all to ourselves," Stephanie squeaked.
"Oh imagine what amazing powers and skills he must have," Cassandra cheerfully said.
"Only those who train with Sonic can become super or even hyper!" Stephanie said.
Cassandra stopped and thought about something for a second. "Wait! What if Sonic taught him how to resist feminine charms?" she said.
"Those have a flaw in them!" Stephanie said. "Commander Blaze has charms that are slowly getting Sonic to fall for her!"
"Do we need to ask Commander Blaze to teach us these charms?" Cassandra asked.
"I guess so…"
Kai crawled back into his bed and pulled the Chaos Emerald back out. "Oh Samantha, I don't know what to do anymore…I'm getting all these admirers but all I want is to be with you again…"
A small tear fell from Kai's eye. "Please, send me a sign that you know I still exist somewhere in the galaxy."
Kai slept for a while but then felt something climbing onto him. Kai turned and saw a shady figure looming overhead. Kai was about to scream but the figure covered his mouth. Kai was panicking but the figure kissed him on the head. "Please, you need to be quite," the figure said.
Sweat began to roll down Kai's face. The figure removed her hand from his mouth but barely, just in case Kai might scream again. "Please don't! I'll call for help if you try anything!" Kai said.
"Keep your voice down!" the figure whispered.
"Please Sophie, this is not right!" Kai whispered.
"Sophie?"
The figure pointed to Sophie's bed and there she was, sleeping soundly. More sweat ran down Kai's face as he turned back to the dark figure. "Who are you! Stephanie? Cassandra?" Kai asked.
The figure came really close to Kai's face, Kai was ready to burst. "Meet me in the mess hall tomorrow during first rations, right behind the ally that leads to another room on the right," the figure said. "I'll tell you all you need to know."
The dark figure leapt off Kai and left the room. Kai lifted himself up and thought. "What should I do? If I don't, I might not find out what the hell is going on…but if I do, she might force me to lose myself. Sophie, Stephanie, and Cassandra are already trying to do this and I don't know what Kristine is planning. I wish Samantha were here…"
The next morning, Josh led the cadets to the mess hall. "This way cadets," Josh said.
Kai, Seina, and Rebecca all glanced at their surroundings; they were more amazed at the inside of the academy. Every ten steps they took, there was either a door or a window on one side of the academy. Josh led them down to a large set of double doors that looked more like a closed off door way that one would find on a space shuttle. The doors opened and the nine cadets entered the mess hall. The place looked like the inside of a school cafeteria, except thrice as big as one. As everyone walked over to what looked like a refreshments bar, Kai looked around for a secret ally of some sorts. He spotted one but before he could decide what to do, Seina and Rebecca dragged him over to the bar. There were three buttons on the bar: one labeled water, one labeled fruit, and one labeled meat. Alex, Cassandra, and Nebula chose the water button.
"Is that all you're having?" Seina asked.
Alex stared dully at Seina. "We're plants, what do you think? We don't eat food, we make our own!" Alex said.
"He's kinda clueless," Nebula laughed.
Cassandra just winked at Kai; Kai shrugged. Sophie was up next and chose the fruit button. Everyone expected a normal orange or a normal raspberry to fall out but all that fell out was a cup that filled itself up with brightly colored pellets. Sophie picked one up and glanced at it. "Do you really eat these things?" Sophie asked.
"I guess," Rebecca said.
Sophie carried the cup of pellets over to one of the tables. Stephanie came up and chose the meat button. Darker colored pellets fell into a cup and Stephanie carried it off to a table. Kai continued to stare at the ally and turned to Seina and Rebecca. "You know guys, I'm not really that hungry today…" Kai said.
"Okay," Seina said.
"I'm gonna hang in the corner for the moment," Kai said. "All this is too much to take in."
"We'll meet up with you there later," Rebecca said.
"Thanks," Kai said.
He ran over to the ally and looked about. "That's odd, she said she would meet me here," Kai thought out loud.
Something pounced on him and he crashed to the ground. Kai looked up and saw someone dressed in a dark outfit.
"You made it, good," the figure said.
"What is it that you want?" Kai asked.
"It's you that I want," the dark figure spoke.
Kai started to back into the corner. "I knew it! You're going to make me lose myself aren't you?" Kai exclaimed.
The dark figure laughed hysterically. "That didn't even cross my mind," the dark figure laughed, "but of course I wouldn't mind…"
The dark figure took her cloak off. "…unless you want me to, of course."
Kai stared at the person underneath the cloak. "It can't be! Am I dreaming?" Kai exclaimed.
It was Samantha!
