We finally reached town, and the first thing we did was try to find a good restaurant.

"I vote Chinese!" I exclaimed.

"There's Chinese food here?" Charmy asked.

"Actually, I did find a place earlier when I was following Shadow."

"Well, then lead the way." Vector stated.

I nodded and started walking, but shouts made us stop short.

"Please stop!"

"Back off!"

"This is for the future!"

We all glanced at each other, than ran towards the shouts. We found a small group as the cause.

"Hey, isn't that Sonic?" Charmy asked.

"Yeah, and Amy and that princess,0 Elise too!" Vector added.

"Who's the other guy?"

"That's Silver!" I replied.

"Who's he?" Charmy asked.

"Er, really long story…"

We watched Sonic and Silver as they continued their fight, before Sonic finally knocked Silver back. He dropped to one knee, panting. Sonic cautiously approached him.

"Hey…" he started, but was cut off when Silver blasted him back into a building with telekinetic energy. He fell to the ground, winded, and Silver approached him.

"Is this a joke? How can you cause the destruction of the world?"

"What're you talking about?" Sonic panted.

"It doesn't matter. This is for the future."

Suddenly, two robot arms appeared and snatched Elise. Eggman, perched in his flying machine, appeared. Dang, he moved fast. Just twenty minutes ago he was attacking me and Mephiles.

"Sorry if I'm interrupting anything." He announced, before flying off with Elise in hand.

"Elise!" Sonic yelled.

"Honestly, she gets caught way too easily…" I muttered.

Sonic made to move, but Silver blasted him again.

"Don't turn your back on me!" he yelled.

"Sonic's down for the count!" Vector exclaimed.

"What's with that guy?" Espio asked.

I glanced at Amy, who had a horrified look on her face. I had to do something, cuz obviously she wasn't. I dropped my bag and ran forward.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" I shouted, jumping and grabbing onto Silver Amy style.

"HEY! Get off of me!" he yelled as he twisted around, trying to grab me. "Let go! What're you- WHO IS THIS CHICK?"

"Go Kassie! Woo!" Charmy cheered. He and Vector were bouncing around in excitement.

Sonic stood and glanced at us.

"Er, thanks, Kass."

"No prob! Now go save the damsel who's in constant distress!" I yelled.

He nodded, and took off. Silver shouted threats and insults as he continued to try and throw me off.

"Let go of me you brat!"

"Come on, that all you got? You don't mess with me!"

"I didn't do anything to you!"

"Hey, um, Kassie was it, you can let him go now!" Amy announced.

Vector had to pull me off.

"I think he got the message." He stated.

"Geez! What is wrong with you!" Silver exclaimed.

"What's wrong with YOU?" I shot back.

Silver paused.

"Mephiles isn't trying to help you, he's a liar!"

"Why should I believe you? You just freakin assaulted me!"

"You were attacking my friend!"

"Yeah, if I'd known it was Sonic you were after, I wouldn't have helped you!" Amy growled.

"It's for the sake of my world! He's going to cause destruction!"

"You sure it's not Shadow we're talking about?" Charmy asked. Espio shushed him.

"I don't believe that. Sonic couldn't destroy the world! But if I had to choose between Sonic or the world, I'd choose Sonic!"

Silver seemed stunned, before turning and walking away.

"And, um, sorry about attacking you like that, kinda got caught up in the moment." I added.

Silver paused, turning to look at me. He had curiosity in his eyes, before nodding, and walking away.

"Well, this has been a fun day," I sighed, "Get kidnapped by a psychotic demon, attacked by a crazy doctor, and save an overconfident hedgehog from someone who's even more gullible than Knuckles."

"Can we go get something to eat now?" Charmy asked.

We all sighed. "Fine…"

::::::::::::::::::::::

After finding that restaurant I'd mentioned earlier, we all got udon noodles and sat at a large table.

"This is way good!" I remarked.

"If you think this is good, you should try my cooking." Amy stated.

Charmy, who had gulped down his lunch, got up.

"Where ya goin' Charmy?" Vector asked.

"I'm gonna go find a souvenir or something."

"But you don't have any-"

Charmy flew off before Espio could finish.

"Money."

"So, where do you come from Kassie?" Amy asked.

"Well, it's kind of a confusing story…see, I was sitting at home watching…er, TV, when-"

"Hey Vector!"

Charmy returned in seconds.

"Did ya find something?" Vector asked.

"And should we start running before the cops show up?" Espio added.

"I found a cat, can we keep him?" Charmy asked excitedly. An orange cat was in his arms, looking less than thrilled.

"Wait a minute- Milo!" I exclaimed.

Milo squirmed free of Charmy's grip, and jumped into my arms.

"Where'd you come from?" I asked as I scratched his head.

"Well, look what the cat dragged in."

We all turned to see Rouge, Shadow, and Omega.

"Hi guys." I waved.

"How'd you get here? From what Shadow told us, Mephiles nabbed you." Rouge asked.

"Well, he did, but then we went to find a Chaos emerald, then Eggman showed up and tried to catch him, but I helped him escape, then he tried to attack me and the Chaotix showed up, then we ran into Amy, Sonic, and Elise, who were fighting Silver, then Eggman showed up again-"

"Kassie slow down!" Rouge exclaimed.

"What do you mean you helped Mephiles escape?" Shadow growled.

"Well, ya know…it just felt wrong letting Eggman get him like that…he looked like he was in pain…"

"Who cares?"

"Well, I wasn't gonna let Eggman get hold of him! Anyway, on to better news. Look what III've got!" I announced in a sing song voice, pulling out the emerald.

"Hey, not bad kid." Rouge remarked, taking the jewel. She stared at it with a loving gaze.

"Where'd you get it?" Shadow asked.

"I swiped it from Mephiles." I replied, full of pride.

"Uh huh, you stole it from Mephiles, I can see that."

"Well, indirectly. I snatched it when Eggman had Mephiles trapped, but I still got it."

"So, you said Eggman got Elise." Rouge said.

"Yeah, Sonic went after him."

"Maybe you should go give Blue a hand, Shadow."

"Why would I do that?" Shadow asked.

"Because Silver's gonna attack him again, and he's gonna need help." I replied.

"Who's-"

"I'll tell ya later. Come on, let's go!"

"Why would I take you along? Mephiles might still be after you."

"Okay then…how about the Chaotix come with us and keep me safe?"

Shadow gave me an incredulous look.

"If they're gonna guard you I might as well just give you to him."

Vector and co. frowned at him.

"Nah, we'll be fine, now come on guys! You too Chaotix!" I stated, taking off. Shadow groaned as he followed.

"Looks like you guys got a new job: babysitting." Rouge snickered.

"Alright, this'll be fun!" Charmy laughed, flying after Shadow and me.

"That depends on how you define fun…" Espio muttered as he followed.

"The Chaotix are on the case." Vector announced, following his team.

"That's what worries me…" Rouge sighed.

:::::::::::::::::::

So, now I have body guards. Charmy's right, this WILL be fun!
