Delicious echidna

"No, I'm asking you to be cuter ." Said Glen. ------- "I see everyone is having fun."Said Tikal. ------ "Ready to maje sole easy money ?" Asked Red.

Locke followed Dylan.

"So , back to the hotel then...." Said Locke.

"we can always go back to the hotel ..."

"Not really .Any choice ?" Said Locke. -------------- "But you aren't old .." Said Glen."And it's kind of cute , that little clumsiness."

"That's good. That's good."Said Red. ------------------- "Sure. So what now?"Said Locke."Want to go somewhere else, or just talking about you a bit more? I never really knew what you did back when you were still councilor." ---------------- "I don't think you really are meaning it."Said Mina."Beside , I'm sure Alister doesn't mind that much." -------------- Tikal smiled again.

Tikal smiled a bit at Melody's ourtbust . --------- Mina was a but confused ."Is ... anything wrong ? Alister? Zoey ?" "Wrong ? no , so far things are going right. Thing is , Zoey is a good fan of Glen, and she keeps on confusing me and him ...." Mina smiled a bit ."Don't you like being seen as a star?" she asked. "Not if it's someone else's fame , sorry." answered Glen. --------- "And here you are, alteady thinking about work. Enjoy yourself for once ." Said Red , smiling again.

"Oh come on." Said Red."You are adorable when you are confused .Especially the little fang coming out ."

"Really?" Asked Locke, a bit surprised by what he heard. -------------- "Well, you better ."Said Red teasingly.

Tikal took a good look at them. "Well , this isn't so bad ." She answered. -------------- "That's not what I meant ."He leaned closer as if to grab something."My name." He said Quietly .

"You idiot , No I don't." Her smile got broader. ------/ "Sure thing ,'Zoey'. "Said Glen, Taking her hand. --------- Tikal was happy that her choice in clothes pleased Melody.

Tikal was merely wearing something simple : a green skirt, a white shirt, and a yellow hat, for the sun. ----------------------------------- "Hey there, Don't worry too much about it now."Said Glen to Zionna, while taking her hand. -------------------------------------- Red smiled at the idea of her softening up.

Tikal was finally done.She went to join the others. ------------------------------- "Hey , of course I do." Said Red."Think I would soften u like that?" ------------------------------- "Bith can actually works quite good together ." Said Mina.

"I think I would have tried my best." Said Locke. ------------------------------------ "They will. They better." Said Red."or else, Life's management is going to have some serious troubles." -------------------------------------- Tikal was still trying on new clothes, But she was almost done. -------------------------------------- "Don't Say that." Said Mina."Before the whole 'singing' thing, I though of myself as uninteresting. Turn oout I was wrong and someone gave me a chance. I'm sure yours might come ... Or is already there."

Tikal was trying what she choose here and there . ----------------------------------- "It's alright ." Said Mina."I guess we all have our way of dealing with this kind of situation." She laughed a bit ."Anyways, It's true that I really don't know much about yoou, since Glen didn't told me a lot. Mind to fill the gaps ?" ------------------------------------- "There , there. Friends have to hellp each other in time of needs." Said Red."And today sure is one hell of a demanding one." She smiled.

Tikal was done with choosing her clothes. She went to the changing room to try them on. -------------------------- "Yes it is." Said Mina. She laughed."Funny, I felt like I was in some kind of interview.... Now , how about you two try to talk more about yourself ?" She asked .

No.

"If I need you, I'll go there then." Said Tikal, smiling. ----------------------- "Well, I do owe a lot to sonic, and the freedom fighters. They really helped me when things got down for me. And then they saved my mother..She really means a lot for me." Mina looked down."Ever since my father's disappearance , We were both here for each other. And then Robotnik.. He took her away from me too." She sighed." But thing got better, way better.And I'm sure aren't going to forget those who are dear to my heart."

"No thank, I think I'm managing." Said Tikal. ----------------------------------------- "Indeed." Said Mina."And I even gain a bit of pocket money out of it." She smiled a bit."It's a nice thing and I can always send some back to mummy .It's my way of helping her out when I'm far"

Don't mind me . Just taking over.

"Have no fear , your secret is safe with me ."Saud Red. ------------ "Thank Dylan. I really need support at the moment ." Said Locke.

"And that's the beauty of the thing : You are grossly overpaid for something you might have done for free anyway ." Sais Red. ----------- "No, it really doesn't Dylan. But we are trying to move on. At least for knuckles ." Said Locke.

"Yeah, but this doesn't make the best relationship." Said Locke. -------- "I know your worth Crowley . You are priceless." Said Red.

Locke gave dylan a funny look."This is a woman that spend 10 bitter years trying to rebuild her life and change knuckles for the better. She will not let it go ." ------------ "I wouldn't have put that on your shoulder if I didn't know you could do it."Said Red. --------- "Thank." Said Tikal."Just trying to find something good." ---------- "Yeah. Ever since I took music , I kept on lifting spirits . I'm tryin to use my music to send message of hope and to push people forward ." Said Mina.

"We are in this together " Said Red."If you fall, I'm affraid i might fall aswell ..." ---------- Tikal was finnaly finding something nice . --------- "The island ?" Said Mina."Well , it is an interesting place . It might seems small , But it is always full of life . And while some echidna aren't very welcoming , those who do are wonderful people ... a bit like Glen again..." She sighed ."Robotnik took a lot from them , but they rebuilt almost everything . So i'm helping a bit in the best way I know : Cheering with my music !"
