"Whoa, who's that. She looks really cool." Sonic heard Toni ask pointing to a lil raccoon kit with orange-black fur but dressed like a ship captain with a sword on her hip smirking at Sonic. "That's Marine an old pal and wonder what she's doing here in Green Hills." Sonic told Toni.

"These military guys were chasing me the second I came to this world. Is she your kid." Marine said to him.

"Yep she's mine and Shadow's. Wait GUN were chasing you. Those guys are jerks." Sonic told her.

"We should take her to our house daddy. Tom and Maddie along with dad will get it." Toni said.

Marine was nodding, following them to Tom and Maddie's house making Maddie, Shadow and Tom curious about the lil raccoon girl with Sonic and Toni as Shade hugged her twin sister making Marine smile as they were cute hearing Sonic, Tom and Maddie as Marine was exploring, along with climbing making Shade and Toni impressed along with Shadow hearing Ozzie barking as Tom and Maddie were in there making Sonic facepalm at this. "Marine come down as this isn't a great first impression." he to,d her.

"Okay. I was just exploring." she said to him. Toni and Shade giggled at this liking Marine making Shadow amused by her antics and Shade and Toni needed a friend around their age making Tom and Maddie guess it was okay as Marine ran upstairs with both female hedgehog youngsters and made Sonic sigh helping clean up while explaining about Marine impressing them.

"Maybe we can help her with her energy." Maddie told them.

That next morning, Toni was awake as she had school so letting Shade sleep while getting dressed going downstairs relieving Sonic as Shade along with Shadow were asleep making her guess her and Shade's other dad had been flying around all night town making Sonic nod as they were leaving the house but at school, the teacher wanted to to talk to Sonic making him concerned but surprised that Toni kept to herself while her peers were making friends with each other and bonding and wanted Toni to try

"We'll work on it. Plus I'll talk to Toni at home." Sonic said to the teacher

"That's good to hear. Toni honey don't you wanna play with others." He heard the teacher ask Toni. She was playing with Lil Toni and running a kitchen shaking her head in repky. "Lil T and I are good. Nobody here likes chilli dogs." Toni replied as the teacher left her be to tend to other kids asSonic left going home seeing Shadow up along with Shade and was eating his beloved coffee beans and Shade was eating cereal noticing her daddy had a worried look on his face asking if he was okay.

"Toni's lack of social skiills has her teacher concerned. She's happy playing by herself at school." Sonic told them making Shadow shrug his shoulders in reply knowing both their cubs had traits of the both of them in them plus Toni loved playing with Shade at home so guessed it was the other kids which Shadow thought a good theory
