Shadow the Hedgehog

Zamy sighed. "I can empathise with you. Having that freedom and then losing it. It's impressive you've coped so well," she replied as Zouge arrived.

Zamy sat down on the bench. "I'm sorry about what happened to your tail. I can only imagine what it must have been like to fly. Maybe we'll get a workaround for you one day."

Zamy eventually got through to Zouge and explained the situation. "She'll be here as soon as possible Miles."

Zamy nodded then pulled out her radio before trying to get a hold of Zouge. "Hopefully it shouldn't take too long to get her on here."

"For a moment you thought it was real? I understand. Perhaps we should get Zouge to see if she can help you have any more flashbacks."

"It sounds like it might be a flashback. You did look like you were kind of zoned out."

"Miles, are you OK? Do you want me to get Zouge?"

"You're right Miles. Best to focus on the positives."

"Unfortunately you're right."

"Exactly. I don't want to start some kind of diplomatic incident."

"I see your point. I think I'll practice it later on. I'd rather not have a mishap right now."

"I know, which is why I'll need to be careful when trying to access it."

"Well if older you could summon a flail through me, I might have some potential for a baton or something."

"Well it's never too late to start trying."

"Heh thanks."

Zamy picked up the stone and managed to skim it along the water with a flick of her wrist.

"True. You never know when you'll need something like that."

Zamy laughed. "I'll give you that one."

"Heh, I know the one. I guess I haven't had much use for it until now," said Zamy.

"Oh I am good at throwing, it's just normally I'm hurling something straight and with a lot of force," replied Zamy before she tried throwing it with Miles' technique, with some success.

Hope sat down in her chair, clearly annoyed. ------ "Yeah. I guess it's finally turning around. And I could never get the hang of skimming. Mine always sunk like... well, like a rock," said Zamy.

Hope headed out of the room then began to prepare her experimental teleporter for another test. "Might as well give it another test run. I'll talk to you later Melody. I should get back to work," she thought. "Bye Dylan. I hope things get easier for you around here," she said before disappearing in a blue flash. Landing back in her laboratory, she felt no ill effects from her journey. ----- "It certainly is a lovely day out here," said Zamy.

"I'm sorry, but like I said, my loyalties are with Melody. I'm not leaving unless she wants me to." ------- "Looks like it to me. Let's go."

"I'm not abandoning my friend. If she wants me to stay, I stay." ------ Zamy headed out of the bowling alley with Miles and looked for a nice area to go through.

"I know. I'm not saying I'm happy about it," thought Hope. ----- "I know. But anyway, let's go for that walk."
