Blaze was in a small room in her castle. It was maybe 3x4m2 in size. The only decorations it had was a red ringed carpet on the floor, a white light switch and the brown door. She was pacing around the carpet. There was a faded circle in the carpet that looks as if it is walked on more than the other parts. She paced and paced. Her thoughts were doing the same thing, going in circles.

"What am I missing? This rain, I know it means something but I can't figure out what…" She thought to herself. "Yet rain is normal… But for weeks strait?" That was all she could think about. "Ok Blaze, focus on the details. Rain is wet. This may cause water damage to buildings and can destroy the foundation causing the building to fall… but then the rain would have to fall for many weeks for that." She contemplated the basics for hours. "Well, rain falls from clouds, rain is cold, rain is water falling from the sky, and water is blue-"she stopped at that thought. Her mind drifted to a certain blue hedgehog that can't stand water. But Blaze quickly shook the thought out of her head. After a few more laps around the carpet, an idea finally donned on her.

"Rain is caused by water evaporating into the clouds and falling! So wherever this rain is coming from will be totally drained of water!" she yelled to herself. "All you would need is a high amount of heat!" Just as she was thinking of reasons why someone would drain a lake, there was a knock on the door.

"Hey Blaze, you in there?" a male voice asked from the other side of the door. Blaze clenched her fists and stomped towards the door.

"WHO DARES TO DISRUPT ME WILE I'M IN MY THINKING RO- Silver?" She yelled as she opened the door. A Silver hedgehog was standing there in a mixture of shock and fear.

"S-sorry about disrupting you but the head guard told me to tell you that Eggman Nega has been spotted by the Lake Tsunami with a strange looking machine." Silver told her. Blaze nodded.

"Good, tell him to go and arrest Nega for Crimes against the Crown, attempting to steal the Sol emeralds and anything else they can think of. "Blaze demanded. Silver stared at her in confusion.

"Don't you want to go check it out?" he asked. Blaze looked a little nervous.

"Err… I got work to do." She lied. Silver gave her a dirty look. "Umm… I don't feel like smashing robots right now." She lied again. Silver was now glaring at her.

"Blaze, if there's two things I know about you, it's that you love smashing Naga's robot and that you are a terrible liar." Silver told her. "What's the REAL reason you don't want to go?"

"Well I-I don't… well... err…" she stuttered. "Don't like water."

"What did you say?"

"I-I said that I don't really like water…"

"Speak up. I can't hear what you're saying!" Silver demanded.

"I DON'T LIKE WATER OK!" She yelled at him. Silver was in complete shock.

"W-what?" He asked. Blaze turned around.

"Well, I'm a fiery cat and water just doesn't mix well with fire OR cats." Blaze explained.

"Well fine then! I'll just go investigate by myself!" He said madly. Silver turned around and ran off. Blaze went back into the room and locked the door.

Sonic was sitting at a long, brown table with a fork and knife in his hands.

"Is the food almost ready Breeze?" Sonic yelled into the kitchen. Breeze walked in carrying a plate with 8 chilly dogs on them. Sonic's eyes widened at the site of them. Breeze placed them on the table.

"Hey, you're staying here as a guest. I'm not your personal chief." Breeze reminded him.

"Sorry but you make the best chilly dogs I have ever eaten." Sonic said wile drooling like a 2 year old.

"Woops, forgot the hot sauce!" Breeze said as he rushed back into the kitchen. He came out with what looked like a ketchup bottle with a jalapeño pepper on fire as the front cover. When Breeze sat down, the chilly dogs were gone! Sonic was leaning back in his chair with an enlarged stomach.

"Sonic! That was my supper to!" Breeze yelled.

"Sorry *BURP!* I just couldn't resist." Sonic told him.

"Ick, you're just like my sister." Breeze said as he picked up the plate and carried it to the kitchen.

"I hear you talk about your brother and sister lots but I haven't seen them." Sonic told him.

"Well… Dew lives with her best friend and Snipe is a lone traveller. They both do stop in to say hi. So I have this old house to myself." He explained.

"Well what about your parents?" Sonic asked. This hit a tender spot for Breeze.

"Well… my mother died when I was about 7. Her death hit us all pretty hard but dad took it the worst. He was always so depressed. One day, we woke up to find that our dad was not in his bed. He left us all alone. Snipe and I were 10 while dew was only 8." Breeze told him.

"Wow, that's terrible. I'm sorry for asking…" Sonic apologised.

"The past is the past." Breeze said. Sonic stood up and did some stretching. His leg still hurt a bit.

"Well, I think I'm ready to go out there and knick some Eggman butt!" Sonic said. Breeze nodded.

"Feel free to stop in anytime Sonic. I'll have a batch of fresh chilly dogs waiting for ya." Breeze said. Sonic walked up to the front door.

"Yep, thanks for the help and if I see any hawk messing with ice I'll be sure to say hi." Sonic told him as he bolted out the door.

Sonic ran straight to his house where he found Tails working on a new machine.

"Hey Tails! I'm back!" Sonic said as he walked into the garage. Tails turned around and saw Sonic standing there.

"Hey Sonic, checkout this new machine I'm building! It is going to be attached to the tornado as an escape pod. I call it, The Tornado pod!" Tails told him. Sonic walked up to it. The Tornado pod looked like a small submarine with wings.

"What's with you and calling everything Tornado? X-Tornado, Sub-Tornado, Drill-Tornado and now the Tornado pod!" Sonic complained.

"Well I like tornados." Tails told him. Sonic sighed.

"Oh Tails! That reminds me, have you ever heard of a Rift stone?" Sonic asked. Tails looked at him with confusion.

"Sure I have. It is a legendary stone that can create rifts in time and space. When the stone is struck by a strong force of electricity, a rift will form in time and if it is hit with high amounts of heat, a rift will form in space. Only 1 has ever been found." Tails explained.

"And what would happen if Eggman got his hands on one?" Sonic asked. Tails shrugged.

"Then we are in deep trouble." He told him.
