Alright this is the chapter in which they finally meet. Well, I wouldn't say meet but just know each other is alive. LOL, racing is when they compete an talk. Even some rivalry. Alright let's recap:
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles enter the race with some delay and meet Amy, Silver, and Cream also entered. Tails finds a new friend who works at 'Boardshop' (forgot to metion, sorry!) who's a vixen named Ace. Will the Sonic team more old friend, or some new enemies?

SONIC TEAM MEETS TEAM ADRIANA PART 2
[Regular View] [3pm] [Registration Tower]
Sonic notices Tails has been staring at the shop across with a small smile. But no one shows up at all. They are still sitting on the couch, Knuckles still sleeping. "Tails you alright?" Sonic asks, getting Tails out of his trance.
"Wha? Sonic you said something?" Tails responds, a little confused who took him back to earth.
"I said, are you alright? You seem so slow today," Sonic responds, concerned it might be something that a hospital should take care of.
"Uh- yea!"- Tails smiles at him, rubbing his head-"I'm just a little sleepy. Mind if we head up to our hotel room?"
"Oh, sorry Tails. I forgot that you two, also the sleepy knucklehead are tired. You can go but I still want to see some other competition. And besides, someone has to carry Knuckles upstairs," Sonic apologized and jokes. Let's just hope.
Tails laughs at bit,"Fine, I just stay here and avoid suicide by carring Knuckles."
Sonic didn't ask what's bothering him, 'cause he had a pretty good idea of what it is. Girls are starting to get to him again., Sonic smiles a little. It's nice for his friend to be interested again, and not just on tools. But for Sonic, well he's just still waiting, with not much high hopes. (but he hasn't any of my OC's yet! lol)
Suddenly a trio enters the room and the first thing they did is look around the place. "Say, this is a pretty nice place!" Vector the Crocodile yells in awe looking all around. "Humph, I seen better." Espio comments, crossing his arms examining his disappointment. "Whoa! This house is bigger than our head quarters!" the hyper bee, Charmy adds, loudly at that.
Charmy buzzes around the lobby, getting some weird faces from others. "Charmy get back here!" Vector calls, but here's laughter by Charmy still exploring.
"You had to give him soda," Espio tells Vector, rubbing his forehead.
"The can said 'SUGAR FREE'! How am I supposed to know the rest of the ingredients still affects Charmy!" Vector responds, defending himself. "You go stop Charmy and I'll sign us up, Bye!" Vector runs off before Espio can protest. (I am not making Charmy grow up! LOL, he's too cute and hyper, so he still is the same age. I mean who wants him to grow up? :3 he still got cuteness in him!)
"Dammit."
Charmy spots the Sonic and Rose team. "Hey guys! What's up!" Charmy greets. Buzzing up on the ceiling, moving constantly.
"Uh- fine. Where's Vector and Espio?" Sonic says moving his head to try and see where Charmy going.
"I don't know! They were too slow ,so I went to explore." Charmy smiles not powering down his rush of sugar.
"Charmy, dammit, get back here!" Espio calls after, nearing the Sonic team.
"Nope." Charmy laughs, still buzzing.
"That's it," Espio growls,"Excuse me." He says to the Sonic team picking up the two, huge, red sofa pillows.
"What are you doing, Espio?" Tails ask, hoping it isn't the same thing he is thinking of.
Espio aims right at Charmy's back and it is hit. Charmy fall down the from high above but Espio used the other pillow and throws it on the floor. That's where Charmy comes down, a cushioned landing. Charmyis shaking violently, shook up on his diving. "Just taking care of my team mate." Espio simply says. He picks up Charmy, on his shoulder walking away with the fainted bee,"See you guys in the tracks. I think Charmy needs a nap. His sugar rush always does this to him."
A silence is vansihing sounds until Amy speaks up,"That was..."
"Weird." Silver finishes her sentence. They smile at each other while everyone else laughs at little scene. Then they see Vector going upstairs with them. Mad at Espio,"Espio, how many times do I have to tell you not to make Charmy faint. You know he talks a lot more when he blacks out."
Espio ignore the crocodile and goes up to their room, C3,"Humph."
They were gone but the laughter isn't.
But it went when they see some other trio enter. One hedgehog they all know but the other two, never seen. They head slowly head for the registrations. "Shadow?" Amy says, why he is here? And with new people?
"Arri,"- a dark wolf voice says-"I know I should be grateful for turning me into a wolf, but what does it mean?"
"So the Sonic team won't notice who you really are. Honestly, Omega, you aren't a robot for just one day and you act like a regular gray wolf."
Arri has made a device that transforms robots into an animal. And his name fits perfectly with this animal. Omega is still a power type, but as a dark grey wolf, with no shirt and showing a white fury chest, with dark green Caprice and red shoes. Shadow gets the registration, heading to the Sonic team.
"So much un-needed information..." he mumbles, filling out if he was ever convicted a crime. He put that down as a 'maybe, I don't remember I did drugs.' Which he joking around and put no. Arri see the answer scribbled out and the right one. She couldn't stop herself from smiling a bit.
"Hm, let me see," Arri says looking over his shoulder, smelling fragrant to Shadow. Omega just examines his features, his furriness with the long wolf tail. He swishes it looking back, and lots of people thought if he is having trouble with something.
Arri helps finish the registration and finally sees the other Sonic Team. She smiles, smirks in the inside. "Oh my gosh! You're the famous Sonic the Hedgehog!" Arri leaps away from Shadow's presence and hugs Sonic lightly.
Sonic gets a little uncomfortable but eases up as he catches a small aroma coming from her. Arriana always had better luck when people really smell her (sound weird when i put it in this sentence huh?). Odd, yet beautiful smell. She doesn't even know why, she barley goes out for perfume or to the mall, Eggman's orders.
"Yea, that's me," Sonic says, wrapping an arm around her, sniffing her hair.
"I have like almost all of your video games."- She smiles up at him-"Your really great..."
Shadow growls slightly at the attention Arri is giving Sonic. He knows it's for pretend, getting Sonic's trust, but he just can't help but feeling jealous. A rare feeling he gets. He was going to shove him off of her grasp but someone takes care of that.
Amy pushes her away from Sonic. Arri balances and doesn't fall but smirks up at Amy. Sonic just wants to smell her sweet pungent. "Who are you?" Amy growls, a little envious that Sonic let her hug him, something she forget to bury.
Arri is joined back with Omega in the back and Shadow next to her, crossed arms, glaring straight at Sonic. "My names is Arriana. Arriana the Dark Vixen." She smiles up at all, even Amy.
But Amy smells trouble as the rest of them don't. "And I'm Omega," the gray wolf says pointing to himself, with his K9 teeth seething out, his husky voice than mechanical, "Omega the Gray Wolf."
"Omega, huh? Isn't there a robot named that?" Knuckles points out, finally awake from his power nap. And he almost slept through the whole Charmy event.
"Why? It doesn't mean they are the same people?"-Arri responds and states,"I mean I got an uncle name Phil and he's a doctor. Any coincidence to the guy in that psychotic show? Nope."
"How do you know them, Shadow?" Sonic asks ignoring Arri's comment of , a human talk show host.
"Well,"- Shadow stalls-"Omega, I met a few years back, when I was helping the G.U.N and well Arri..."-he takes time to breath in and out- "She's my...girlfriend..."Shadow mumbles.
"You finally got someone, Shadow!" Sonic snickers teasing more about how he get one,"A miracle!"
"Shut up, Faker!" Shadow growls with a small tint of pink on his tan muzzle.
"Alright we gotta go!" Arri says alertly before Shadow attacks Sonic. She grabs the registration and throws to the lady, returning shortly. She pulls at Shadow's hand. Her touch must have got to him because he stops growling and looks up at her. She lets go a while ago, afraid to show her affections towards him, even if it is pretend. Shadow looks at Sonic one more time and takes Arri's hand, grasping it tightly. Arri didn't say anything and just looks away. Omega heads first upstairs to thier room, D3. Shadow and Arri follow after shortly, hands glued together.
"Wow... that girl really knows how to bottle down his anger..." Silver says, amazed that Shadow has a soft spot. Amy is happy for Shadow. Even if she senses the girl is up to no good. Him having someone to care for, to share his happy life now...
Amy looks down at the floor for a sudden. She doesn't have anyone. Not to hold. Not to cherish...
Silver looks at her, but Amy didn't notice. Silver sighs as the rest of their friends try to squeeze four people in a three seat couch. Some day he will have to tell her. But when is the question. Now? No, too many people. Maybe in thier hotel room. Where there is supposed to be a balcony in all of the rooms. He just wishes to get this off his chest. He wants this weight off of him and the pink hedehog his. Soon.
"Gee, I wonder when the other teams will come around?" Cream wonders as she tries to get comfortable between Knuckles and Sonic.
Sonic finally has enough of this and shuffles out of the red couch. "Oh, I can breathe again!"
Sonic starts stretching as the others try and take up his space. Amy and Silver each take a seat on the arms chairs of the the sofa, with Silver thinking of how to tell her.
Suddenly someone taps Sonic's shoulders as he stretches his arms. "Huh?" Sonic turns around and sees a red hedgehog. She has long quills past her knees with long bangs covering her right eye. She has blue highlights and a blue mini dress with blue boots and with a red ribbon on each boot.
"Hi!"-Jennifer Firestone cheers-"We're looking for the registration counter. Do ya know where it is?" Jenn says with her dark blue eyes sparkling with Sonic's perplexed green orbs.
"Uhh..." Sonic trails off.
"Oh! There it is, Jenn!" Her over excited little brother yells. He has red fur and green highlights, his big blue shirt with jeans, and his green shoes. He points to where the arrow is.
"Oh! You're right Jay Jay."- she looks back at Sonic-"Thank you anyway!' And with a smile she is gone, with her brother following and her friend, Zaid. Zaid was just observing all of this, looking around and then at the Sonic Team. "Come on Zaid! We gotta sign up fast. Adriana told us to go straight to our room after!" Jenn calls as she finally sees the sheets and heads upstairs. "Oh..." Zaid just shakes his head and runs to catch up to the Firestone siblings. To their room, B2. (second door in second floor)
Sonic just looks after the team, wondering if they're a threat.
Then Sonic sees a familiar face. Or faces.
There, comes in Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow, and Storm the Altrobass (sorry, don't know how to spell it). Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles all just stare up at them. Jet just smiles his cocky smile as Sonic's smirk then grows too. Wider with every second.
Wave then starts walking to the counter for the registration. Jet follows and Storm as well showing his fists to Knuckles. Jet has on a blue shirt with his symbol of from Sonic Riders with jeans and his boots under. Storm has a huge grey sweater with no shirt, showing his fury chest, and big baggy jeans. Wave just has her original clothes on. A white tank top with white pants and pink purple fire designs (honestly, i like her clothes already!)
They head off with their card, E3. Just wait, Sonic the Hedgehog...
Watch out, Jet.
Another team comes in, a dog, a cat, and a hedgehog. The dog scratches his ear and then his cat, and then she pesters him away.
"Wierd dog." Silver comments.
"Well you're so nice," Amy smiles, rolling her eyes.
"Who says I was nice?" Silver laughs. Amy laughs too. Even though they are at opposite ends of the sofa they still laugh as if they're right next to each other.
"Yo, Andre! Dimitri! I found the place!" Steel the Dark Enchida yells near the entrance. Loudly matter of fact.
"If only Adri gave us some more information on where it was!" Dimitri scolds no one in particular, squeezing his tails, revealing water. It is raining. Not just a light drizzle but more a lighting storm. No practice racing for today... Dimitri whines as he thinks. He is actually one of the best riders in their group.
Steel is a red enchidna, like Knuckles but huge bangs covering his left eye with black arrow patterns in each quill. He has no shirt so that's why he came in first. He has a scythe sign in the middle of his chest and army baggy pants with black shoes. "Well maybe she's just getting back at you for taking the throne," Andre jokes to Dimitri.
"No, she wouldn't do that..." Dimitri growls but maybe Andre is right. Dimitri didn't want to think about it, his own twin sister wouldn't hate him that much for the power. Right?
Dimitiri is a black fox with short dark red hair. He has a black and grey sweater, zig zagged patterned with baggy jeans and red sneakers. Andre is a black hedgehog with white highlight. He has his hair in one way covering part of his right eye. Black and grey striped sweater, baggy blue jeans, and black squared like sneakers. He flips his pretty wet hair away from his eyes and walks up to Sonic and his friends. He smirks as he recognizes the blue hero.
"Well, well." Andre says looking at each team member. "We got three hedgehogs, a fox boy, a red enchida, and a little bunny."
Sonic growls, same with Tails and Knuckles. Amy and Cream just shake their heads as Silver glares at Andre. "And who are you guys supposed to be?" Amy asks with acid in her tongue.
"Team Dark Slash, doll face." Steel responds with his an accent. No one knows how he got this. Hanging with too many humans is a high possibility.
Silver growls at him. But it is a habit for Steel to say this to girls. He has gotten so used to it and even the girls in Adri's team always let it slide. But Amy's different.
"What did you call me?" Amy says standing up from the couch.
Steel nears her, green orbs meeting dark brown eyes,"Doll face."
Steel winks as Amy blushes madly and yet her arms are shaking in anger. Silver has it worst. "Take that back!" Silver yells jumping from the red couch and walks next to Amy, his teeth seething out.
"Whoa whoa, all right, silver fur ball. I didn't know you were sensitive and she was your girl." Steel smirks raising his hands up in playful defense.
"Wha.." Amy and Silver say in union, blushing. My girl... Silver thinks and madly.
Andre starts picking at some others people. "And you're supposed to be the hero?" Andre smirks referring to Sonic.
Sonic glares at him as Andre's grin gets bigger. "You can't even help a pink girly girl. A silver fur ball had to do it." Andre spits out, each word sounding stingy.
Dimitri laughs as Sonic gets angrier, trying not to make a scene. Silver, as an instinct nears Amy from behind. Hugging her it almost looks like.
Amy looks up but only to see Silver glare at the boys than pay attention to how close he is to her. But Amy is and she feels a lot comfortable, knowing he will take care of her. But only for this time. Can it happen again?
"Dimitri!"- they all hear a female voice yell at them-"You causing trouble again?"
It is Adriana. The black vixen with grey and black striped sweater, a jean miniskirt, and long green and yellow boots.
Eric. A light grey hedgehog with a red and white plaid collared shirt.
And Ebony. The black with blue tiger striped hedgehog with huge orange goggles, no shirt, baggy jeans, and orange sneakers.
"Hey Adri." Dimitri waves smiling nervously.
Adri huffs,"Typical."
"Hm. Who's this?" she says realizing Sonic and his friends. Pretending really.
Sonic looks back at her curious red eyes and Dimitri's hurt expression. They're twins, he thinks.
Serves him right, Sonic thinks. "My name is Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog," he smiles his cocky smile, giving a thumbs up.
Adri gives him a nice diamond smile. Like all the other guys she met before. "Sorry on the behalf of my brother. He gets squirrely if he doesn't break anything soon."
"No I don't!" Dimitri protests.
"Hey hey, baby!" Andre greets, grinning and nearing Adri's side. Adri nods at him, her right arm ready to punch if he tries to hug her. She smiles wickedly back at him, the two one of the best power pair.
Adriana smiles to the Sonic Team,"My name is Adriana Dark."
She shakes everyone's hands and even Amy fell for this one.
"See ya around the tracks," she winks and grabs a chaos emerald out of her pocket. Last thing to do... She walks over to the registration lady. She lets her team go upstairs, with Andre getting a head start.
She is left alone. Everyone left except for Sonic and Eric.
She breathes in and out. Clutching her emerald. The 7th emerald. All the rest were given for one of the prizes. She paces back and forth near the counter. She feels a glove touch lightly her shouder. She aburtly turns around to see Eric smiling at her. "What's so hard about giving your emerald. You know you'll get it back," Eric says, knowing she'll win and then get all the chaos emeralds. Adri feels guilty.
Sonic observes her. Her sudden frown when Eric said that. Something's up.
Adri quickly wields a lie. Her small red eyes try their best to be shiny and weak to Eric, moping,"Eric, our home is at stake. We either win everything or lose everything. Oh, why did we do this? Why did I let you guys into-"
"Shh," Eric cooes, he's never seen her so fragile before. "It's going to be fine. Don't beat yourself up"
Adri thinks it over. Alright, if I do give the emerald then Eggman's plan is finally a- go. But also betrayal... What would Eric do...
"I guess you're right..." Adri pouts.
She rises her head. Eric nears her face but she swiftly turns on her heel.
She can't just quit. She has her whole future depending on this. Her kingdom. And equal fight with her brother, not just for him to take it since she's still borrowing money from her parents. That stupid agreement.
Adri sighs and knows her decision.
Sonic still looks over the counter to see she gives her black emerald. He sees her walk upstairs with Eric right next to her.
"See, it wasn't that hard Adri," Eric says as she sees she's a little uneasy.
"Right... it was easy" She mutters to herself than Eric.
There's no turning back now...
