Disclaimer: WHY DID I PUT THIS HERE!?!?!? Ok…. If I must remind you any SEGA character that is mentioned I DO NOT OWN!!!! The only character I own (unless otherwise specified) is Sapphire…

Home and HeartbreakEarlier that day

A young female hedgehog was sitting on the train. She was black with blue markings and green eyes. She also had peach coloring on her arms and belly. Her name was Sapphire and she was heading to Station Square to visit a few friends that she hasn't seen in a very long time.

The train was very slow, making more stops than Sapphire had anticipated. Sapphire sighed. She wondered how the guys would react to seeing her for the first time in years.

As Sapphire watched the scenery, she noticed that it was getting late. "I wonder how the guys will react when they see me after all these years," Sapphire said happily. Apparently, how they'd react was the only concern on her mind. She looked around and noticed that no one else was on the train. "One of these days I have to learn to stop talking to myself," she said hesitantly.

Since the train was taking too long to get to her stop, Sapphire decided to take a little nap until her stop came.

Finally, after 5 long hours, Sapphire woke up and noticed that it was her turn to get off of the train. Sapphire gathered her things, and when the train stopped, she got off of it.

As Sapphire got off of the train, she looked around and saw a lot of people going from place to place. As Sapphire started walking out of the train station, she noticed how cold it had gotten outside and quickly pulled out a jacket from her backpack. Picking up her suitcase and slinging her backpack over her shoulder, Sapphire then made the long walk to her destination.

It was snowing, something that Sapphire hadn't seen in a long time, mainly because she was with her family down near the tropics. As she got closer and closer to her destination, Sapphire could see a small house with the lights still on. Sapphire got closer to the house and saw a sign over the door that said 'Chaotix Detective Agency.'

It was around 11:30. "Wow, I sure am late for arriving," Sapphire thought to herself.

Sapphire looked at the house with happiness and said to herself, "I'm finally home."

With joy, Sapphire ran up to the door of the little house.

Sapphire hesitated as she knocked at the door. It was very late and she wondered if anyone was up.

Sapphire knocked louder and louder until she heard someone behind the door.

The door opened and behind it was Vector. By the look of him, he had just woken up from a deep sleep.

Sapphire sighed and said, "You probably don't remember me, Vector, but I worked with you many years ago." Vector looked at her in confusion. "What's your name, kid," he asked. Sapphire lowered her head and flattened her ears against her head. "Sapphire," she whispered. "Huh?? Could you speak a little louder, I didn't quite catch that," Vector said. "Sapphire," She said a little louder.

Vector just stared at her and rudely said, "I'm sorry kid, I don't know anyone by the name of Sapphire, at least I don't think I do."

"We were friends many years ago until the agency split up. do you remember that?" Sapphire said to Vector.

Vector looked at her in frustration. And before she could even speak up to explain herself more, Vector slammed the door in Sapphire's face.

With eyes filled with tears, Sapphire ran off in the same direction that she came from, back to the train station.

~*~*~*~

Espio watched the whole scene and was disappointed that Vector didn't know who Sapphire was.

Espio walked up to Vector and showed him the picture of the 5 of them together and happy.

"So," Vector said. "So, YOU scared off Sapphire, the best detective and only female to work here." Vector glared at him and said, "Why should I even care. All she ever does is rub everything in my face like she's better than me."

Espio was disappointed again. Not only disappointed, but also he was furious. He sort of liked having Sapphire around in the past and was quite anxious to see her again.

"The reason is that she IS better than you. We haven't seen her and years and you act like she never existed and slammed the door right in her face! If you haven't realized, Vector, the whole reason some of us stayed up late was to wait for Sapphire to come over!" Espio yelled at Vector.

Vector just stood there, surprised. Never in his life had he seen Espio that mad.

Mighty and Charmy had woken up to see who it was that was at the door, both surprised at Espio's sudden outburst of anger.

Still furious at Vector, Espio ran out of the house, hoping to catch up with Sapphire before she got back to the train station.

"I hope I catch up to her before she leaves again," Espio said.

Did you like it???? I am terribly sorry that Vector and Espio are out of character…. It's just the way my story goes….

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!
