Chapter 1 Wanna Be My Friend?

"Hello? Anyone there?" asked Blaze. There came a loud shatter of glass. "Someone is..." came the reply. Blaze jumped in fright. She turned around slowly, holding her breath, and screamed immediately. Behind her, stood a young silver hedgehog. He looked a little like a freak, but it didn't matter to Blaze.

"Oh – I'm sorry. Did I scare you?" he asked. Blaze blushed a little. "I'm the one who should say sorry. I didn't mean to scream. You just took me on by surprise." she said. Silver smiled comfortably. "It's okay. I understand. Whoa! Is this your room? It's huge!" he cried, in intense excitement.

"Well – I guess," said Blaze. "My parents are extremely rich." Silver nodded slightly. "What's this? Your identity card?" he asked. "What the flip? You're a Princess?" he asked, turning around to Blaze.

"Well uh..." she said. This was not good. She wasn't supposed to let anyone know this. Maybe she should kick this hedgehog out of her room. "Oh dear..." she said to herself. Silver suddenly gave a shout of horror. "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I didn't know you were a princess." he said.

"I understand." said Blaze, half grinning. "Well, I shouldn't barge in the door of a princess like this. If you like, I'll go now." said Silver. "Wait! Come back!" cried Blaze. "You didn't barge in the door, you smashed and came in by the window. "

"That's worse." commented Silver. "Not if it's someone like you!" replied Blaze. "So uh – what's your name?"

Silver replied immediately. "I'm Silver...The Hedgehog." he said. "I'm thirteen years and two months old, and I'm an orphan." "Well that's nice! I'm the same age as you! But my parents still rule as King and Queen. I'm a Princess – Princess Blaze." said Blaze.

"You're – you're so pretty. " said Silver. "Who – me? No way! You haven't seen a lady before haven't you?" asked Blaze, sarcastically. "No-never." said Silver, playing along with the joke. "You doubt yourself too much." "You're just so cute, did you know that?" asked Blaze. "Uh...thanks." replied Silver.

"You're so cool." said Silver. Blaze laughed. "Well, people say I'm hotter than I am cool." she said. She suddenly leapt in the air and produced two large orbs of fire on her hands. Her eyes turned bright orange – the same as her fireballs, and long ribbons of flame circled around her. She turned back to her normal form at once, after catching a glimpse as Silver's frightened face. Silver shrieked, "That was so cool! You really are hot. But don't do that again. "

"Oh, did I scare you?" asked Blaze, sarcastically. "Kind of." said Silver. "But that was so cool!" he cried. Blaze cocked her head to one side in confusion. "Cool? It's a curse! I envy your normality," she said, a little sadly.

"Normal? I'm not normal! I'm -" he cried. He jumped up in the air, and levitated. He followed Blaze's steps, except that the orbs in his hands were cyan green, and his eyes were also green, and the ribbons were not of flame, but of the same material of the orbs on his hand. "PSYCHIC!" he cried, with a different voice.

He immediately stopped when he saw Blaze's face. "Blaze? What's the matter?" he cried. "Nothing. But you didn't seem to be yourself just now." Blaze replied. "Please don't do that again – it scares me."

"Blaze? Can you be my friend?" Silver asked, very shyly. "Well, I guess..." Blaze replied. "It will be my pleasure!" Silver suddenly produced a small orb like I have described before. It was cyan, and it seemed alive, and it squirmed and squiggled around in a pleasant manner. "Here. Take it, as a token of our friendship," he said, handing it to her.

"It's so...pretty..." said Blaze, staring into the orb that now rested on her hand. "Naw way! It's an eyesore!" Silver said. "Who's doubting himself now?" jeered Blaze. She created an orb of her own, and meshed it with Silver's one. The two orbs seemed to be playing with each other, and they made happy gurgling noises, before they joined together, and became one beautiful orb.

"Keep it," said Silver. "Thanks," replied Blaze, before a voice called - "Princess Blaze!" Blaze looked at Silver. "Oh I better go, and you better get out of here! Quick! None of my royal subjects know you even exist! They'll enslave you!" she cried.

"Not so fast! Blaze, just promise me you won't forget about me." Silver said, as he and Blaze cuddled up to a quick hug from each other. "I won't forget about you, if it kills me. But just promise me you'll always be there for me, when I'm falling, when I'm cold, when I'm sad and when I'm happy. " said Blaze.

After a few seconds, Blaze whispered to Silver, "Go! Now!" And Silver jumped out the window to where he had come from.
