As the rays of dawn crept into the room, Streaky's eyes fluttered open.

"(Yawn) What a night, I haven't had such a restless night's sleep in a long while." She stood up and stretched. "Oh well, might as well get up, the days started and I'm too restless to sleep."

Streaky started towards the door (the dream fogotten.) Through which you could see the ocean glimmering in the dawn light. The room she had spent the night in was one of the many rooms in the sea palace. She, unlike Sonic, enjoyed the water and the ocean and therefore enjoyed the Idea of using the sea palace as sort of a base. You know, just some where she could rest during the night If she was in the area. The walls were pure white with red paterns painted on them, a great stone gate stood opened at the far end of the room and beyond that the beach and sea. The room slanted at one end making kind of a tillted hallway that if you went far enough, would open up to a huge stone loop de loop that reached over the sea to the rest of the palace. Though Streaky had absolutely no idea why the arcitechs did that, she was kind of thankful for it because only people with great speed could cross an thus, Eggmans bulky robots could never hope to cross. Thanks to that Streaky could sleep without any annoying bots bothering her. Last night she was so sleepy that she did not even bother crossing it, she just slept near the entrance where the wind would not disturb her.

She strolled onto the beach to gaze at the sea in dawn light. The light bounce of the waves in a million different shades of red yellow and orange, Streaky noted that it was a red dawn wich ment that there would be a storm at sea.

'oh well, at least Im not needing to head out there and hopefuly no one else is.' she thought cooly as she began to walk down the beach.

Suddenly she heared the roar of a jet engine. With out even looking she knew it would have been either Tails or Eggman. She looked up just in time to see that the jet was slowly hovering closer to her. She recognized it at once. It was the X Tornado! Tails looked over the edge at her and seemed to be yelling something but the jet engine was too loud for her to hear. With one mighty leap Streaky landed lightly on the jets wing.

"What was that Tails? I couldn't hear you."

Tails voice came over the sound of the engine.

"Shadow is hurt and Sonic is missing!"

Came the frantic reply. Streaky went ridged with disbelief. Shadow, hurt! Streaky had seen him fight many times and no matter what, she had never seen him walk away with anything more than a few scratches. The idea did not only seem improbable, it seemed impossible. Not only that but for Tails to say that Sonic was missing certainly was a bad sign. Everyone knew that Sonic would vanish for days to go exploring and then be back like nothing had happened. But something in Tails' voice said that this was different. Was Sonic in trouble? She did not know but she had to help. Maybe Shadow knows.

"Where is Shadow?"

"At my hanger. Hop on!"

"No offence, Tails but I can get there faster on my own. Meet me there, ok?" And with that she took off.

Anyone who was watching would only have seen a white blur. Even in this serious situation Streaky couldn't help but feel the rush of happy excitement that she always felt when she went super sonic.

"No wonder Sonic is so care free."

Over mountains, through valleys, across rivers, she zipped past every obstical like it was nothing.
