Me: With no time left on WoW and crossfire absolutely not wanting me to be able to get on today, you guys are lucky and get another update…on a different note…NO more Doctor Who until November 23rd *cries*

Brightshadow: Save me

Me: Shut up Bright.

Brightshadow: Fine. Idalia doesn't own TMNT or Sonic the hedgehog.

Random sewer tunnel

"Great, I go searching for them to warn them and get myself lost. Might as well just wait here. They'll find me eventually. Maybe I'm lucky and they have to come this way."

Blaze sighed.

"How do I get myself into these messes….but, I had to come. I had to see Sonic again. I…need to tell him the truth."

Blaze jumped as the manhole cover above her head was pulled away and Shadow jumped down with the creature from the picture on his back. He was soon followed by Raphael, Leonardo, and Donatello supporting a dizzy Michelangelo. When Shadow saw Blaze he narrowed his eyes.

"What are you doing here? I thought Michelangelo asked you to stay with Tails and Knuckles."

"Tails wanted me to come and warn you guys. He and I were captured by some group calling themselves the Foot, and they roped Tails into making a mind-control collar. He had a feeling whatever you guys were dealing with might have something to do with it."

Raphael scowled at her.

"It would have been nice if you could have told Mikey, Donny or Shadow while they were still there rather than come searching for us yourself."

Before Blaze could retaliate, an irate Shadow interrupted.

"Can you save it for later? He's starting to get heavy."

Blaze blushed and Raphael scowled again before Leonardo pushed his way into the front and started back to the old station.

Back at the old station

"Hello? Leonardo, Donatello, anyone here?"

When she got no answer, April frowned and flopped down on the couch, only to jump back up with a muffled shriek. Lying on the couch, right beside where she had flopped down, was a sleeping two-tailed fox sapient and spiky red one. The spiky red one had bandages wrapped around his chest, and he seemed to be in pain. At least, she assumed he was a he. Turning around, she came face to face with Michelangelo, who seemed to be trying to sneak up on her. Behind him, April could see Raphael arguing with a purple cat, while Leonardo and Donatello were helping a black and red hedgehog with some unconscious furry wolf thing.

"April, you weren't supposed to turn around! Oh, hey! I nearly forgot. The fox is Tails, the echidna is Knuckles, the hedgehog is Shadow and the cat is Blaze. They're from a different dimension!"

A baffled April nodded slowly.

"Okay…who's the furry wolf thing?"

Michelangelo opened his mouth to answer, only to get smacked upside the head by Raphael, who had come to check up on the two sapients on the couch.

"Hey April. Mikey, don't go telling people. It's up to him who he wants to tell and when. It's going to be hard enough to keep Knuckles quiet, we don't need to worry about you too."

"What do you mean by that Raphael?"

Raphael shrugged.

"Sorry April, not our secret to tell."

At a groan from across the room, Raphael turned and ran over to the wolf creature that was slowly waking up.

"Oww, my head. What happened?"

Shadow sighed.

"Some sort of mind control collar. We were able to get it off you…but not until after Knuckles got hurt."

At the words mind control collar, Sonics eyes narrowed. They widened immediately though when he heard Knuckles had been hurt by him. Blaze pushed her way forward, and Sonics eyes widened even more. His ears flattened when Blaze started looking him over, trying to puzzle something out.

"Who are you, and how do you know Knuckles and Shadow?"

Sonic frowned.

"None of your business."

Raphael stepped forward.

"We found Tails and her on a rooftop earlier this evening."

Blaze scowled and spoke up again.

"Why do I feel like I know you… please, tell me who you are."

Shadow and Sonic glanced at each other, before Sonic nodded. Going over to the couch, Shadow pulled a sleeping Tails off and over to where they all were. Sonic scowled at Shadow, who dropped the fox kit and shrugged. Feeling a bit disoriented, Tails slowly stood up before looking at Shadow. When Tails turned again and saw the creature from the picture, he froze. Feeling its eyes focused on him, he stood up taller and his eyes met emerald green staring back at him. With a gasp, Tails spoke one word, quietly enough for only the creature to hear him.

"Sonic?"

With a slightly lopsided grin, Sonic nodded. With a cry of joy, Tails launched himself forward and wrapped Sonic in a hug.

"I thought we had lost you forever. When you didn't come back for a few months, I thought you were dead, that Eggman somehow got you. I thought I'd never see you again!"

With a flinch, Sonic grimaced.

"I'd never leave you Tails; no one can take me away from you." (AN: Awww brotherly love)

Blaze stepped forward, an unidentifiable look on her face.

"Who are you? How do you know Tails so well? Neither Shadow nor Tails have ever mentioned you."

A strange smile on his face, Sonic answered.

"You know me, just not like this. See if you can figure out before sunrise, and if you don't, I'll show you who I am."

With his cryptic statement said, Sonic got up and walked over to sit beside the sleeping Knuckles, concern etched all over his face. Blaze watched him as he went, and then sat in the spot Sonic had vacated. Deep in thought, she didn't notice as the four turtles went to do whatever it was they did in their free time, and Tails and Shadow go over to talk with Sonic.

Less than an hour until sunrise

Blaze paced, tail flicking in agitation. For the past two hours, she had been trying to figure out the identity of the strange sapient that she apparently knew. She had nothing though, and glanced over to them. Knuckles had woken up about 45 minutes earlier, and had engaged in conversation with Tails, Shadow and the mystery sapient. When she looked over at the group of four, she felt as if she was missing something important, the key that would help her figure out who he was. While she watched, the strange sapient said something and Tails laughed. The only person she knew that could make Tails laugh that hard was…no…it couldn't be, could it? Had she finally found the reason she had been dimension hopping? Deciding to find out once and for all, Blaze slowly walked towards the group of four sapients. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the four turtles stop what they were doing and watch. She stopped about 5 feet from the group of 4 sapients, and waited for them to notice her. The strange sapient noticed her first, and when he stopped talking to watch her, Shadow, Tails and Knuckles turned too.

"I think I know who you are."

The strange sapient nodded at her to continue.

"It took me awhile, and I think the only reason I figured it out was because of how hard Tails was laughing. I know for a fact that Sonic is the only one who can make him laugh that hard."

Shadow and Knuckles glanced at each other then looked to see Sonic's reaction. When he grinned and nodded at Blaze, Knuckles scowled and handed Shadow something. Sonic noticed and glared at the two.

"Were you two betting on how long it would take Blaze to figure it out?"

Knuckles scowled and crossed his arms.

"Maybe."

Turning to glare at Shadow, he saw him shrug, and then explained a bit further.

"We were betting on whether she was going to figure it out at all. I said she would, but Knuckles thought you'd have to tell her."

Blaze glared at Knuckles, who blushed.

"You thought I wouldn't figure out he was the guy I was dimension hopping for?"

Blaze suddenly froze, looking slightly red.

"I so didn't mean to say that."

April, who had been listening off to the side, came over.

"There's no shame in admitting your feelings Blaze. Usually guys can't get a clue, so you need to tell them yourself."

Blaze looked up to meet Sonic's eyes, and noticed he too was blushing. Both Sonic and her jumped when Raphael cleared his throat nearby.

"Okay lovebirds, break it up. Don't forget, we still have to figure out a way to get you guys home."

Sonic stood up.

"Right then, let's get to it. Who knows what Eggman's been up to since we left."

Me: Well there it is, next chapter done. Now lets see…review replies!

VanFullMoonHelsing: Thanks for the review! And yes, it is going to be a Sonaze, I'm just not the greatest at writing romance. Hopefully I don't mess it up too bad.

Skipper917: Thanks!

Girl of Darkness10: Freed Sonic and next chapter done. Hope you liked it!

Purest of the Hearts: I have no idea why you're apologizing for not reviewing, considering you have reviewed like 3 times now More than the over 1 hundred people who read and didn't review even once lol. And as for the humans not noticing? It's New York, people wouldn't notice it unless it bit them in the nose, and even then they might not notice! ;)

hcsp1: I might have done that on purpose to bug you ;) Thanks for the review!
