The early morning sun found the Wachowski household sleepy. Sonic and Tails were enjoying sleeping in, and Knuckles was still snoozing in the recliner. Maddie, always the early riser was up and carrying her Yoga mat to the porch to start the day. Though she yawned as she came down the stairs, she paused as she hear Knuckles' snoring.

She smiled, glad the guy was getting some rest. Her eyes then went to the blanket pile on the couch and set her Yoga mat down. Knuckles snorted as he woke and looked around.

"Was anyone going to tell us about the pink hedgehog sleeping on the couch.." Maddie said.

"We, did wish to inform you." Knuckles answered. "She, appeared in the yard last night. We thought she used a ring, but that... that was different."

"is she dangerous?" Tom asked as he walked on.

Knuckles shook his head. "Doubt it. She seemed more afraid than dangerous last night."

Sonic waved at the humans. "Morning Donut Lord! Pretzel Lady!"

"Hey, Sonic." The man said, looking towards Amy, who had just woken up. "Um... who's your friend?"

"Oh! Sorry, this Is Amy." Sonic explained. "She was in the yard all freaked out. So we let her stay the night." He looked back at Amy "It's okay Amy, this is Tom the Donut Lord, and Maddie the Pretzel Lady. They're really friendly."

"They sure are." Tails added with a smile. "They won't hurt you. Promise."

"Well, now that we know we have a guest, we can make extra batter for pancakes." Tom said. "You look like you could use some comfort food."

Amy tilted her head. "Comfort food?"

"Food that makes you feel better." Tom answered. "That is, if you're hungry."

Amy's stomach growled.

Tom laughed and stood. "I guess that answers that." He said as he stood sighed. "Wachowski Pancakes coming up."

"Yes!" Sonic cheered. "You're gonna like them Amy! And so are you Knuckles! They're The best!"

"You say that about most foods." Knuckles told him.

"Not true." Sonic answered. "I don't say that about mushrooms."

Amy soon sat at the table, looking at the group as they passed out plates of food. The Pancakes she recognized. But looking around as Sonic and Tails dug in, Amy tried some. She smiled at the tastes and sighed in delight.

Tom smiled. "Taste good?"

Amy nodded in answer, too busy with the food to answer verbally. Maddie sat nearby and looks at Amy, a shake of something in hand. She looks at my arms before looking at Tom, who makes a small face.

"Amy, can you tell us where you came from?" Maddie asked. "And... what happened to you?"

"I told Sonic, Tails and Knuckles last night.. I' am here running from my home planet, it was taken over by the Zeti..."

"Well... whats your plan from here?" Tom asked as he cut a piece of his pancake and ate it.

Amy bit her lower lip " I do not know "

"Why not stay here in Green Hills?" Sonic asked. "It's the best place in the world!"

"The blue hedgehog does not lie " Knuckles added.

Tom gave a nod. "I think thats a fair idea. Can't send her away with nowhere to go." He looked at Maddie. "What about-"

Maddie gave him a look. "I think you know my answer." She said with a smile and looked at me. "Besides, We took in Sonic, Tails and Knuckles."

Though still nervous, Amy gave a small nod and smile. At least for now, She felt safe.
