Echo the Hedgehog (エコー・ザ・ヘッジホッグ,Ekoo za Hejjihoggu?) is a brown, female, anthropomorphic hedgehog with Sonokinetic abilities. She quietly bears the curse of her past and chooses to share it with none.

History
Not much is known about Echo's past, but it can be guessed she had an unhappy childhood, seeing as she dislikes talking about it. Although the subject is quite sensitive, most characters constantly asked her what had happened in her past to make her so miserable, to no avail. The character's background, next to her cold demeanor, is mostly what makes her so mysterious. However, in Sonic: Equalized, her past is revealed in the final dungeon, "Decaying Municipality".

Meeting Sonic
This story tells of the day Sonic and Echo had met.

''I awoke to the sound of a bird's tweeting in my ears. I slowly opened my eyes a few moments to sunrise and sat up in my favorite tree. I reached into my jacket and pulled out my flute, which I have been playing for quite some time now. As I played A Person's Warmth, the sun rose faster, as if it was trying to listen to the song. My name is Echo. Echo the Hedgehog. I am alone, and have always been alone. I've never had a real friend. No one's ever cared about me. But that all changed that one fateful day...''

''When I finally stopped, I let out a sigh. "Just another day, I said. "Nothing special, nothing new." I leapt down from the tree and suddenly felt a strong breeze fly past me. It gave me a pleasant feeling, though I didn't know why. That's when I realize that the wind was so powerful it blew my instrument out of my hands. I chased after it to no avail, and just when I was about to give up hope, a white glove caught the flute with hardly any effort. A beautiful voice said to me, "Is this yours"? I looked down to find a blue hedgehog looking right at me, holding the flute between his fingers. For a moment I felt dizzy, then I regained my consiousness. I swiped the object from him, and simply replied, "Yes, it is." I then walked back to my tree and jumped directly on it's branch. He then looked at me, almost puzzled. "Is everything alright?", he asked me. Looking down at him, I then gave him the same look he gave me, for no one had ever cared for my well-being before. "Why would you care? You don't know me", I retorted. I put away my flute so the same incident wouldn't repeat. He then asked me something I did not expect: "Do I need a reason to care?" At first, I thought he was joking. I came down from my tree and looked directly into his eyes. They were a shining emerald green. "By the way, he added, "My name is Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog." Everything about him, even his name, was mysterious to me. He wasn't like everyone else I've met. He was different. Almost...nice. However, I knew that once he knew the person that I was, he would never want to see me again. I reached out my hand and said, "Echo." He proudly shook it and then turned to leave. "See you soon, Echo!", he let out as he sped off into the distance.''

''"Sonic the Hedgehog", I said to myself. We'll meet again. I know we will.''

Princess Jasmine
Jasmine is the Sonic and the Secret Rings version of Echo.

Guinevere
Guinevere is the Sonic and the Black Knight version of Echo. She is a travelling black knight.

Sonic X
In Sonic X, Echo's callous behaviour is even more present. Her and Sonic develop a friendship through racing. Usually, when dealing with Statyx, she uses sarcastic, sassy comments that often annoy him. In an episode of Season 4 (fanon), Amy goes wild looking for Sonic, and by the end, it is revealed that Echo challenged him to a race, and according to Sonic, "time got away from us".

Personality
Echo is what is described as a "quiet mouse" character. She is somewhat violent in nature, though she dosen't mean to show it. Echo is very apathetic and prefers to be away from everyone else. Charming, cynical and pessimistic, she shares a similar personality to Shadow, but far more stubborn and rude. Echo can be sarcastic at times, and also be very shy about her feelings about Sonic, going as far as to run away from him sometimes. These feelings may revolve around the one thing they both have in common: speed, however according to Echo, she believes love is a "mental illness". Despite her apparently emotioness demeanor, Echo is very easily discouraged. Echo goes where the wind takes her, travelling from place to place. She is stoic, patient (somewhat), and ignores her own feelings, sometimes going for days without food or rest.

Echo, when she is not running, can be found napping in a tree, or playing her flute. It can be noted that Echo has Catoptrophobia, which is a fear or mirrors.

Abilities
Echo is a Sonokinetic, able to emit large sound waves that from her hands. She can run just as fast as Sonic can, often running so fast she appears to be teleporting from place to place, but really is just running faster than the naked eye can track. If she delivers a blow directly on the forehead, she could easily wipe anyone's memory of anything, though she rarely has to use it. For some reason, although Jezz has the ability to "learn the past of a person he sees", he cannot clearly see Echo's past for some reason. She can alter her voice to easily mimic another character's. If Echo lets out a shrill scream, she lets out even bigger soundwaves. Echo is also a self-taught flautist. She has the ability to control the volume of any sound or even completely mute it. It is revealed in Equalized that she knows how to swim, though the water handicap hardly ever arose, since she can already run over it's surface. In the same game, she taught Sonic how to swim and to not be afraid of water, which is the first real romantic moment they shared so far.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Echo's first friend in a long, Sonic and Echo have crossed paths often. Echo is quite fond on the hedgehog, eventually developing a crush on him (not one she's too willing to reveal), though she rarely treats him like she does to most people. Echo mostly refers to Sonic as "Molasses", due to their equal speeds. Her ambivalence towards the young hedgehog often makes him think Echo downright hates him, and Echo's insecurities make the feeling mutual.

Amy Rose
Amy refers Echo as a "witch" because of her attitude. Echo, in turn, has a dislike of Amy, usually ignoring her rather than talking to her.

Statyx the Hedgehog
Statyx and Echo have a sort of humourous relationship. Statyx tries to get Echo to open up and tell him what's bothering her, to no avail. He also knows of Echo's (constantly denied but true) feelings for Sonic, and has on occasion tried to blow the secret. She, like Amy, scares him half of the time, and he knows very well that Echo could "obliterate him".

Shamia the Meerkat
Echo and Shamia have a strong bond. Shamia looks up to Echo and sees her as her mentor, while Echo sees Shamia as a little sister. Echo will often look out for Shamia, warning her to keep a safe distance when danger is nearby.

Fou the Phoenix
Fou tends to annoy Echo most of the time, who refers to her stoic attitude as "droopy". Still, Echo cares for Fou's well-being. This can be proven in Sonic: Equalized when she is deeply worried about Fou when he decides to take on an army of Egg-Pawns by himself.

What would be another quote that describes Echo? I can advance forward and I won't get lost Behind all my lack of patience, I hold on to the hopes I haven't forgotten I savor the fair, gentle winds. From here, I advance towards the start of the future No tomorrow's no regret

Trivia

 * Ironically, Echo almost always refers to Sonic as her pet name for him, "Molasses", but when someone directly uses Sonic's name, Echo will reply "Who?".
 * Echo and Shamia each have attributes that make them both somewhat similar to Raven from Teen Titans:
 * Shamia has a red bindi on her forehead; so does Raven.
 * Echo shares not only Raven's voice actress, but her voice.
 * Echo has Raven's cynical, stoic, sarcastic personality, and carries a dark past that she'd prefer not talk about, like Raven does.
 * Shamia is a Umbrakinetic, and Raven also has dark powers.

Echo's Journal (Blog)
Dear Journal...

Echo &amp; Fou (Role Play)

 * Fou: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I have a question! Why are you always so droopy?
 * Echo: It's who I am, Fou. -_-
 * Fou: Yeah, but what made you who you are?
 * Echo: Just some stuff in the past. Nothin' special...
 * Fou: Yeah, but what!? Whaat!?
 * Statyx: I knew this was a bad idea. When Fou's like this, he's like a starved dog: He won't give it up until you give him something to chew on.
 * Echo: Well, here's a tidbit for you, Fou: I'm a charming, cynical pessimist. Meaning I don't talk about past events.
 * Fou: Cynecal peesimahst? What does that mean!?
 * Statyx: Ai yai yai. Remember Echo, he may be a GUN agent, but he's still only 8, so try to avoid big words. Anyway Fou, do you remember what I was like before we met Sonic &amp; his friends?
 * Fou: And Blaze?
 * Statyx: Uh, ye-yes, that's right. Do you remember?
 * Fou:...Oh. I'll be right back! *Flies off*
 * Statyx: *groan* The things he'll do to satisfy his curiousity.
 * Echo: I don't even wanna know what he's gonna try...
 * Fou *flies back*: i found out who can help! He said he'll be here in a second!
 * Statyx: Let me guess, 3..2..1!
 * Sonic *runs up towards them*: Hey everyone!
 * Statyx: (Fou, you little idiot! You just don't know when to let it go!)
 * Echo: *blushing* Uh, S-Sonic!...er...hey, Molasses. (when I get my hands on that firebird, he's gonna be chicken stir-fry!!)
 * Statyx: (Whoa, that was a change in demeanor. Wait a minute...) Starts smiling (oh Fou you little monster you!)
 * Sonic: Fou told me you wanted to talk. Naturally, I was curious, since you never want to talk. So, what's on your mind?
 * Echo: (it's official: I hate birds!!) Eh, I was just...just-- (say something, stupid! SAY SOMETHING!) wondering if you wanted to race or something...?
 * Statyx: (ooooh, nice save)
 * Sonic: Hm, that's weird, Fou said you wanted to talk about your past. Now I'm confused.
 * Fou: Yeah yeah! I asked her about her past, but she didn't want to talk about it. Then Statyx reminded me that he didn't want to talk about his past before he met you and Blaze, so I thought you might be able to help Echo.
 * Statyx: (Fou, you continue to prove that ignorance is bliss)
 * Echo: [irritated] Aren't you late for a playdate with Cream right about now???
 * Fou: No. Why do you say that? So come on Sonic, help Echo talk about her past already!
 * Statyx: *chuckles* (Sorry Echo, you're dealing with an oblivious 8-year old. The usual tactics won't work on him. I just hope Fou doesn't hit a sore spot again.)
 * Echo: Fou, have you ever heard of the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"??? Because I feel it can really apply right here, right now! Now, if you'll excuse me... *jumps into a tree*
 * Statyx: Great. Now, I'm guessing that...
 * Fou: I'll go get her! *flies up into tree*
 * Statyx: Fou will go after her.
 * Sonic: Isn't Fou gonna have trouble keeping up with her?
 * Statyx: Actually, in perfect conditions, Fou's flight speed can surpass my running speed. And even without those conditions, Fou should be able to keep pace with her.
 * Sonic: Well, this'll be interesting.
 * Statyx: Yeah. (so long as Echo at least tries to keep it cool. If it comes to a fight, Fou's not the one we'll have to worry about.) Still, it might be a good idea to keep an eye on them.
 * Twister: GIRANIMO *lands on tree branch very panfully* AGH!!!!!!!! *falls off tree*
 * Echo: *litterally kicks Fou out of the tree* Go make your nest somewhere else, bird-brain.
 * Twister: Hey everyone, you must be Echo Im twister, one of Shelly's friends. ow ow ow man I hate painful landings.
 * Fou *catches himself in the air*: Hey, that hurt! What do I have to do to get an answer, fight you!?
 * Echo: No, I'm not gonna waste my energy on a little munchkin like you.
 * Fou: What did you call me!? *smoke comes out of his nostrils* That's it! You're going down! *charges at her, but stops in the air* Oh, wait. Statyx wouldn't like it if I fought you hear, so can we take this somewhere else?
 * Twister: Can someone treat MY PAIN HERE!!!!!!!!!!! (This is what I get for trying to introduce myself to Echo)
 * Echo: You're not worthy of a challenge for me, Fou. Come back 10 years later and the job's yours.
 * Twister: FOR PETES SAKE THIS HURTS HORRIBLY!!!!!!
 * Echo: *picks up Twister, then jumps back into the tree*
 * Twister: Thank goodness, yu know how to treat this pain? If not thanks for bringing me back to the tree.
 * Fou: That's it! *flies through the trees, catching up to and cutting off Echo*
 * Echo: What the-!?
 * Fou: Still think I'm too young!? Or are you just chicken?!
 * Twister: FOU YOU OVERSIZED TURKEY!!!! MY PAIN HURTS EVEN MORE. OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * Twister: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TREAT THIS PAIN!?!
 * Echo: You've started something you don't wanna finish, hothead!! *homing attacks Fou*
 * Fou: *kicks Echo away* Ha! Remember who trained me? I know how to counter almost any speed ability!
 * Echo: *lands on her feet* Look, kid, I don't wanna have to hurt you, so why doncha just fly back to your nest and we'll call it a day? *makes eye of the tiger pose*
 * Fou: Hey, I'm stronger than I look!
 * Echo: I'm gonna go easy on you, since you're just a kid and don't know who you're up against.
 * ???: CHAOS CONTROL! *time freezes, a green hedgehog steps out, revealed to be Jezz* What's going on here? *to Echo* And who are you??
 * Fou: Oh great, the big-headed hedgehog is here! What do you want, Jezz?
 * Jezz: I was on my way home when I heard fighting noises, so I came to investigate.
 * Fou: Well, I was just about to put this droopy hedgehog in her place!
 * Echo: *jumps back into tree* I am going to bed.
 * Fou: *starts laughing*
 * Echo: What's so funny?
 * Fou: I can't wait to tell Statyx and Sonic that you were too scared to fight me!
 * Echo: *blasts Fou with a soundwave*
 * Fou: Oh, you want a sound battle? *Blasts Echo with Sonic screech*
 * Echo: *falls out of the tree* Oof! Not bad for a feathered mouse. *runs over to Fou, grabs him by the claws (feet) and holds him upside down*
 * (Claws?)
 * Fou: Really bad idea to bring a fire-user into close range! Fire Shot! *Blasts Echo with fireball*
 * Echo: (A fire-bender, huh...) *stands in front of the ocean* Hey, over here, you little flicky!
 * (Actually, he's a pyrokinetic, like Blaze. He just uses the fire differently)
 * Fou: Grrrrrrr! You think I'm stupid!!??
 * Echo: Wha-?
 * Fou: You think you can get me near the ocean so that you can cancel out my powers! Nice try bub! Sun Strike! *fires fireballs rapid-fire at Echo*
 * Echo: *dodges all except last one* *gets knocked into the ocean*
 * Fou: Haha! You're all wet!
 * Echo: *dosen't come back up and after a minute, bubbles appear*
 * Fou: *Flies over the ocean at a safe distance* Echo, I'm not an idiot. You can come up now.
 * Echo: *all that floats up is her jacket*
 * Fou:......Ahhhhh! Don't come up! Don't come up! *covers eyes* Okay, you can come up now.
 * Lucane:I have a question. Wat da FLIP is goin on here?!
 * Twister: Besides the fight I GOT A VERY PAINFUL LANDING ON A TREE BRANCH!!!!
 * Echo: *on the other side of the lake* Finally, I got away from that bird. *climbs up a nearby tree* ...I've really gotta get a new jacket...
 * Fou: *spots Echo* HEY!! I SEE YOU!!! *flies towards Echo at high speeds*
 * Twister: Step back fou *seen holding his eggpawn weapon* leave her alone,I followed her to this spot to get this pain gone and over. and you show up and make it worse, now you better run. *makes cocking weapon noise*

Lucane:You aint gonna really shoot him. He's just a kid.
 * Twister: I won't (its just a way to keep him from echo) and this way it would help echo help with MY PAIN!!!! ow ow ow

Lucane:*sigh* get a heating pad or something!
 * Twister: Wrong pain, what I mean s what happened to sonic in the OVA movie
 * Lucane:OH! *turns around* sorry!
 * Echo: Of all the hedgehogs in the world, I had to be the one who got stuck babysitting...
 * Twister: Don't be angry, you should see me when I was four. Lien-Da loved me till I fainted. and do not ask how she loved me. She just did was all. Very much.
 * Lucane:i dont really remember if i was babysitted or if i ever....never mind. and you were babysitting him?!
 * Echo: Well, whaddya call him following me around forever like he's lost.(?) Speakin' o' lost, where'd Molasses go.(?)
 * Twister: *sees Lien-Da looking for him* Well, time for me to proellor dash quickly and split, atleast the pains gone!!! *zooms off by propellor dash*
 * Lucane:Molasses?
 * Twister: *seens caught in a bush* Ahh great now she's gonna catch me and kiss me to death yet again *gets caught by bullwhip* Well, this will be the end of me for now seeya! *gets pulled off*
 * Lucane:good ridance. *whispers to Echo* he aint comin back.
 * Lien-Da: *dragging Twister* This time you won't be getting away
 * Twister: Well a least this does mean I will be kissed to death. After 8 years of it. I get past into the present.
 * Echo: Well, he may be loud and annoying but at least he provided some entertainment before he left. Anyways where did Sonic speed off to, out of curiousity?
 * Lucane:so you were talking about Sonic? i dont know. he wasnt here when i got here.
 * Twister: I knew you'd say that I played the old switcheroo on Lien-Da *Twister dummy is seen in Lien-Da's bullwhip*
 * Fou: *Pops up behind Echo* HELLO!!
 * Twister: Okay that was awkward, except the time until now, now thats awkward
 * Echo: How did I wind up with this crew... Okay, you guys stay here and chat all you like. I'm going home. *starts walking off*
 * Fou: *keeps following Echo* Sooorryyy. I'm not leaving you alone until you tell me something. Believe me, I can keep a secret!
 * Twister: I better go too because sooner or later Lien-Da might notice I pulled the switcheroo on her
 * Lien-Da: *screaming from a distance* TWISTER!
 * Twister: Well thats my que to propellor dash out of the scene *propellor dashes off to echo's spot and throws Fou to other location with water* Gotta hide form Lien-Da, hope ya don't mind.
 * Echo: *catches Fou before he hits the water* Do you realize you could really hurt him if you tried that? *puts Fou down and keeps walking*
 * Twister: Well all I know is that now I'M CAUGHT IN MY SECOND TREE!! *gets caught in bullwhip once again* well I'm gone for good, see ya *gets dragged away*
 * Fou: *keeps following Echo*
 * Echo: Are you really gonna keep following me? I did save you from falling into the water.
 * Fou: *laughs* All you saved me from is getting wet. Water doesn't hurt me, and I know how to swim. All water does is mess up my fire-powers.
 * Twister: Fou, sorry for calling you an oversized turkey. Plus, I playd the old switcheroo again. Also, I was wondering. Echo, can you swim?
 * Echo: That's for me to know, and you to find out. And if you try your so-called "switcheroo" again, I think I'll tell Lara-Su where you really are.
 * Twister: Wrong echidna, I said Lien-Da and she hasn't found out as I am here, and not there
 * Fou: I know how to figure out if Echo can swim! *Pushes Echo into the water*
 * Twister: Are you nuts!? What if she can't swim!?
 * Fou: Then we go in after her.
 * Twister: I'm going in anyway *jumps into water* DONT WORRY ECHO I'M COMING!!!! *dives underwater*
 * Echo: *walks back to shore dragging Twister back by his tail* Just so you know, neither of you are in a position to make me any more angry. As it is, you already owe me a jacket. *drops Twister*
 * Fou: Okay then *takes off vest* Here ya go! You can use this for now.
 * Echo: Um, thank you?
 * Fou: No problem! But I'm gonna need it back soon. Fou says I'm sensitive to the weather, and the vest is made to do something with my body heat to keep me warm, but I don't get it.
 * Echo: *stops and thinks for a second, then winces* keep it. *throws it back to him* I have a spare at my place.
 * Twister: Good thing I'm alive. Sorry if I made ya angry Echo.
 * Echo: [sarcastically] No, of course not. Getting thrown into water a second time by the same person dosen't make me mad at all...*continues walking*
 * Twister: I know your sarcastic you are angry. Just don't rip me apart. And thanks for saving me.
 * Fou: *continues following Echo* Uh, wasn't I the one who pushed you in?
 * Twister: Yeah we all know, but I drowned trying to save her.
 * Echo: Correction: almost drowned. Lucky for you both, I can swim. Just be happy I'm not feeling vengeful, Fou. *walks around pond*
 * Fou: But, if you had just told us you could swim, I would never have had to push you in, right?
 * Twister: So close. Oh well, thanks for saving me. I was wondering if I could repay you.
 * Echo: Nah, you don't have to. As long as I find my jacket, you're paid in full.
 * Fou: *holds up soaked jacket* Oh, you mean this?
 * Echo: Uh, yes. *picks up soaked jacket* but I can't exacly use it, can I?
 * Fou: Oooh, I can take care of that! *Breathes hot steam at the jacket, drying it* There ya go!
 * Twister: Then what am I gonna do with my bacon and egg sandwich?
 * Echo: *puts on jacket* Simple: eat it.
 * Fou: *looks at soaked food* Uh, sorry. I can't heat wet food. It never comes out right.
 * Echo: He meant he was gonna give it to me as a peace offering...
 * Twister: Fou it was dry when I bought it and I got back from the place just now.
 * Echo: Fou, thanks, but I wasn't hungry anyways. *jumps into tree* *lays on it's branch*
 * Twister: Hope ya don't mind if I join in *hops into other tree branch* this way, I can stay here and eat my good sanwhich in peace *takes a bite*
 * Fou: Hey wait a minute! *Flies up after her* You still haven't told me anything about your past!
 * Echo: Forget it Fou.
 * Fou: Hmmmm...Wait, is that Sonic and Statyx down there?
 * Echo: Hmm? *looks down from the tree*
 * Twister: I do see statyx. but best for me to stay up here.
 * Fou: (Hmmm, didn't get the reaction I was looking for, but...) Haha! made ya look!
 * Echo: Ha-ha. Very funny.
 * Fou: Hey, isn't that Sonic behind you?
 * Echo: Not funny Fou.
 * Sonic: Hey Echo.
 * Twister: Can someone help me? *caught in bullwhip grasp again* Well goodbye!!!! *gets dragged off*
 * Echo: Oh. Hey, Molasses.
 * Twister:Good thing she fell for it AGAIN!!!! And hey Sonic.
 * Echo: (Okay that fox is seriously giving me a headache...)
 * Statyx: Finally! We found you guys! So what's been going on?
 * Fou: Mmm, I haven't been able to get her to say anything! I think it was easier when Sonic was helping. *Gets in Echo's face* Do you have a crush on Sonic?
 * Statyx: *facepalms* (Fou you little idiot!)
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Twister: Huge adventure I should say, and anyone wanna bite out of my bacon and egg sanwich?
 * Tawny:[hangs on a nearby tree, hand placed on her cheek, eyes half closed, watching with an 'oh brother' look]
 * Echo: *falls out of the tree* Oof! *blushes hard* Fou, t-that's preposterous!! What are the odds of me falling in love with anyone???
 * Twister: I wanted to see how everyones doing plus, has anyone seen the freedom fighters today? Besides when I broke in and saved them.
 * Tawny: Pretty high, from the look on your face. *hops down* Long time no see, Echo, and hey Fou, glad to see you alive and well.
 * Echo: ??? And you are...? You know what-- I don't wanna know. It's sunset already and I'm not asleep yet. *hops back into the tree*
 * Twister: Well I'm gonna finish my sanwhich.
 * Tawny: Aw come on! I'm Tawny the Rabbit, the sports champ!... still don't recognize me? Oh well, suppose this IS the first time. I don't think you're going to stay in that tree for long. With Fou around, nothing goes your way.
 * Twister: Tawny, have you seen any of the freedom fighters just now?
 * Echo: *ignores them and tries to go to sleep lay on the branch*
 * Tawny: No, and I don't really care. Right now, don't disturb Echo. (By all the Flickies above and below, PLEASE don't let Fou speak up)
 * Echo: (Finally, someone with common sense...!)
 * Twister: (Believe me, Lien-Da had no common sense when she was with me)
 * Fou: Hey Echo, why did you blush so hard when I asked you if you had a crush on Sonic? You fell out of the tree too! *gets in her face again* Do you have a crush on Sonic!?
 * Statyx: *chuckles* Great, he's gone from one subject to another. Have fun with this one Echo.
 * Fou: If you do...*grabs Statyx and brings him up* Statyx can help! He's a 'ro-man-tic' whatever that means. He can get you together with Sonic!
 * Statyx: ......(You just had to make me a part of this, didn't you?)
 * Echo: I don't need 'romance' in my life, Fou! And everyone likes Sonic, duh.
 * Twister:Well Amy does BTW Sonic she's right behind you
 * Fou: But that's not what Statyx says!
 * Statyx: *Pupils narrow, his lips pucker*
 * Echo: What?
 * Fou: Yeah, Statyx says that it's obvious you like Sonic! As obvious as the color of your fur, I think he said.
 * Statyx: (Oh, crud)
 * Tawny: *rolls eyes* Statyx, try taking Fou somewhere else
 * Echo: Well then, Statyx, allow me to offer this as a rebuttal. *blows him a few inches back with a soundwave*
 * Twister: I better go to my place, you know who might be searching *zooms off*
 * Statyx: Hey, excuse me for taking note of the obvious!
 * Echo: What was that?
 * Statyx: Please. Whenever Sonic is around, your face erupts into red, and you become almost like a shy schoolgirl! Heck, if Fou can take note of it, doesn't that say something?
 * Fou: Hey!
 * Lien-Da: *serching for twsiter* has anyone seen a 2 tailed fox yae tall 55 pounds, black hoodie, mine hat, black shoes around here?
 * Tawny: We don't care, echidna girl. Echo, Statyx is kinda right...
 * Echo: ...
 * Tawny:Er, I mean... you only turn scarlet because you don't want to lose to Sonic in a race, I bet... (please let this work!)
 * Statyx: What, no sharp-tongued ice-cold insult? Did I say something? Or, did I hit the bullseye? I am an expert marksman after all.
 * Lien-Da: Whatever, must be here somewhere *runs off to show Twister is in hur bullwhip's grasp*
 * Twister: Never knew what hit her.
 * Echo: ... *makes a fist* *Dragon Ball Z punches Statyx in the cheek*
 * Fou: Uh-oh. Now you're gonna get it.
 * Statyx: Owww. Oh, now it's on you pessimistic hedgehog! *charges hands with electricity* You say you're outta Fou's league, well let's see if you're in mine!
 * Echo: Well, it has been a slow day... *homing attacks Statyx then at the last minute kicks him*
 * Statyx: *blocks the kick*
 * Echo: What the?
 * Statyx: Sorry Echo, but..*grabs leg, and slams her into the ground* You'll have to do better than that!
 * Echo: Impressive. This oughta be fun! *trips Statyx*
 * Shiver:*takin a walk* hm? oh my, a fight? *grinds teeth together* (he really dislikes fighting)
 * Statyx: *lands on hands* Bad move Echo!
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: *starts spinning on his hands, whipping up a tornado* Because I have my own way of creating a twister!
 * Shiver:Excuse me. what's the point...*mumbles* nevermind
 * Echo: *leaps out of the way* *spindashes Statyx*
 * Shiver:*quietly* you guys gotta chill
 * Statyx: I don't think so! *jumps out of the way* Now try this! *Bounce attacks Echo*
 * Echo: *glides upwards* Is that all 'ya got?! *stomps on the ground and creats a shockwave*
 * Statyx: Whoa! *jumps up into the air, then hovers* That was close!
 * Echo: How are you-!?
 * Statyx: Flying? *Does a few air tricks* Just one of my many tricks.
 * Echo: Well, then... *aims soundwaves at a hovering Statyx with a shrill scream*
 * Statyx: Thunder Shield! *Shield blocks soundwave* Sorry Echo, but my Thunder Shield is the perfect counter!
 * Echo: How's that?
 * Statyx: You see, my shield vibrates air molecules to create a shield. Your soundwaves are mechanical waves. They require a medium to travel through. In other words, air. Because of my Shield, your soundwaves have nothing to travel through. Meaning that your soundwaves, useless!
 * Echo: Guess we're gonna do this the lazy man's way, then! *rapidly homing attacks Statyx until his shield breaks*
 * Statyx: I don't think so! *Axe Kicks Echo, sending her to the ground* Did I forget to mention that I can use every one of Sonic and Shadow's attacks?
 * Shiver:THIS IS GOING TOO FAR!!! *shoots ice shards out of his hand onto the ground and freezes it*. We dont want any serious injuries! (he did the freeze thing so that they would slip and lol you get get hurt from a fall!) ok i gots a question. look at my avatar. what do you see?-from Sunny
 * Echo: *standing still so she dosen't slip on the ice* Fou, if you would be so kind as to melt this ice rink...?
 * Statyx: Now, why would he do that? I can fly for almost as long as I want, while you're stuck slipping and stumbling.
 * Fou: He's right. I won't do it unless Statyx wants me to.
 * Echo: Fou, I'll never tell you why I'm so cranky if you don't melt this ice.
 * Fou: Okay then.
 * Echo: Wha-?
 * Fou: I didn't ask you why you're always so cranky, I asked why you're always so droopy!
 * Echo: *stares*
 * Statyx: *facepalms, shakes head*
 * Fou:....What?
 * Echo: Never mind. Guess we'll just have to do this the hard way. *smashes the ice with her fist, creates a shockwave that breaks the ice surrounding her* Now, where were we?
 * Statyx: *whistles* Looks like I'm gonna have some fun! *lands on the ground* Now, let's get going! *charges at Echo*.
 * Shiver:hey wait a second! *stands between Echo and Statyx* why are you two fighting anyway!? it's no way to solve a problem!!!
 * Statyx:.....Allow me *Chaos Controls Shiver* Now, shall we continue?
 * Shiver:*turns invisible and dodges it* *appears behind Statyx* sorry, that wont work. but why are you guys fighting?
 * Statyx: *evil grin* Because I brought up the fact that...ECHO LIKES SONIC! Hahahaha!
 * Shiver:*sigh* and your fighting....because she likes him? oh wow you guys are....wow.
 * Statyx: No, because she's embarrased about it, and I, well Fou, brought it up in front of none other than Sonic himself!
 * Shiver:*walks up to Echo* well theres no need to be emmbarassed. everyone likes someone at somepoint, am i right?
 * Echo: STATYX IS A LYING PIG!!! *blasts Statyx* You think you know everything about me, but you know nothing about me! *lets out mutiple soundwaves* You thinks it's amusing to mess with someone's emotions. I never said I liked Sonic. I never said I didn't like Sonic. That's for me to know and nobody to ever bring up again!! *blasts the ground, making Statyx lose balance*
 * Statyx: Whoa! Geez, I'm not messing with your emotions, I'm just saying what you're not willing to admit! If I have to fight you because of that, I'm more than happy to oblige! AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LYING PIG!!!??? At least I don't lie about my own emotions!!
 * Shiver:WHOA WAIT A SEC!!!!!!! you guys REALLY need to stay AWAY FROM EACHOTHER AND PRETEND THAT NOTHING HAPPENED!!! GOT IT!?
 * Echo: Sounds like a plan to me!! *runs away from Statyx*
 * Shiver:*looks at Statyx* please dont go after her.
 * Statyx: Oh man, Shiver! Don't you know psychology!? Geez, I thought I'd be able to get her to open up a bit! Well, looks like it's the high road for me! *Races off after Echo*
 * Shiver:grrr I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP!!!! WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO KEEP TO OURSELVES! WHAT IF I TRIED TO MAKE YOU TELL ME SOMETHING THAT WAS ONLY YOUR BUSINESS?!
 * Statyx: *running along mountain pathway* Geez, when I said high road, I didn't mean literally. Oh wait! *spots Echo running on the ground* There she is! *jumps down*
 * Statyx: Hey Echoo noo! Look out!
 * Echo: What the heck!?
 * Statyx/Echo: Oumph! *Statyx lands on top of Echo*
 * Statyx: *rubbing head* Ouch. Even with my luck, that hardly ever happens.
 * Echo: Ahem! *Gives him an angry stare* Do you mind!?
 * Statyx: Oh uh, right. *Gets off of Echo* Sorry about that.
 * Echo: You know what I don't get? Why you keep following me.
 * Statyx: Well, do I need a reason?
 * Echo: You're not my Shadow. That's a reason not to follow me.
 * Statyx: Well, we were fighting, you left, and I followed. Simple as that.
 * Echo: You know, Statyx, maybe I'd open up to you every now and then if your mouth weren't so big. "Ooh, you've got a huuuge crush on Sonic. I can tell cause your face is the color of a tomato!" Well, BUBBLES CAN'T HEAR YOU RIGHT NOW!
 * (isn't that seperate from this?)
 * Statyx: Hmph. Just because I want to get you to open up, doesn't mean I'm going to treat you differently from any of my other friends. Heck, I make jokes about Rouge and Knuckles every chance I get!
 * Echo: *starts to walk away*
 * Statyx: Man, what's your problem? Is it really so hard for you to have fun once in a while?
 * Echo: I think I've made my point.
 * Statyx: Well excuse me for being taught the mentallity that "If you can't get an answer, use that person's emotions to get one". I can't help it. *beeper goes off* Oh crud! I almost forgot! I have a bit of entertainment planned, and it's gonna start without me! *gets up and is about to run off, but stops* Wait, I have an idea. *Turns to Echo* You're the type who likes to see when people are driven nuts, right? Well then, why don't you come along? That is, if you can keep up.
 * Echo: I'd rather not...
 * Statyx: What, do you doubt your own speed? It's understandable I guess, but Sonic said you were never one to back down from a race.
 * Echo: *zooms past him*
 * Statyx: Huhhh, strong girl, smart too, but she just makes it too easy. Hey, wait up! You don't even know where the destination is! *zooms after Echo*
 * Statyx: *Catches up to Echo* Sorry Echo, but...*Turns around and starts running backwards* I'm just as fast as Sonic!
 * Echo: *Sees Tree coming up* (and just as oblivious)
 * Statyx: *As the tree comes up, Statyx splits into electricity as he hits the tree, then reforms, still running backwards* Sorry Echo, but I'm also not as oblivious as Sonic! *turns around, and Statyx blasts foward, leaving a sonicboom and an echo* Just try and keep up!
 * Echo: *spindashes until she is a brown blur* Is that all you've got?
 * Statyx: Heh. *Statyx starts glowing* Sorry but that isn't all I've got! Lightspeed Dash! *Statyx blasts foward in a blur of light*
 * Echo: *disappears from sight*
 * Statyx: Ha, not bad! But you're not the only one who can hit true speed! *Statyx disappears from sight as well*
 * Echo (invisible): *clears throat* *was standing on his head the whole time*
 * Statyx: You know, that's a really bad idea.
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: This! *Comes to an instant stop, sending Echo flying* Sorry. Besides, we're here now.
 * Echo: *lands on her feet* Okay, where are we?
 * Statyx: Look down there.
 * Echo: Huh? *Sees Rouge and Knuckles walking towards the same spot, unaware of each other*....I think I see where this is going.
 * Statyx: Just sit back, enjoy, and watch a master at work. But be ready, cause I'm, gonna need your help.
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: Can you throw your voice, and change it?
 * Echo: Yeah. (Please tell me if this is wrong, it just made sense with her sound abilities)
 * Statyx: Then just be prepared to have some fun.
 * Echo: I highly doubt that.
 * Statyx: Well, 3...2...1!
 * Knuckles: Rouge, what are you doing here!?
 * Rouge: Hey, I should be asking you that!
 * Statyx: *Rubs hands together* And now we begin.
 * Echo: This is another one of your sick tricks, isn't it...
 * Statyx: Sick: No. Romantic: Also a no. Funny: Oohhhh Yess!
 * Knuckles: I want an answer now! What the heck are you doing here!?
 * Rouge: Well if you must know, I got a message saying the Master Emerald was gonna be here.
 * Knuckles: Well, I got a message saying that a thief was gonna try and steal the Master Emerald, and I could catch them here.
 * Statyx: Alright Echo, this is where you come in.
 * Echo: This outght to be good. Alright, what do I need to do.
 * Statyx: *whispers something into Echo's ear* Got it?
 * Echo: Fine.
 * Knuckles: Geez, what the heck is going on here?
 * Rouge (Echo): Why don't you tell me, you knucklehead.
 * Knuckles: What did you call me!?
 * Rouge: That wasn't me!
 * Statyx: *whistles* That was a perfect imitation of her voice! I'm impressed.
 * Now, *whispers something else into Echo's ear*
 * Echo: Alright.
 * Knuckles (Echo): Well, at least I'm not some gem-crazed bat!
 * Rouge: What did you say!?
 * Knuckles: But I-, That wasn't-, I didn't say that!
 * Statyx: Ehh, that one, not so perfect.
 * Echo: Hmph. Well, excuse me. It's harder to imitate a male's voice for me than it is for female voices.
 * Statyx: But why is *looks at Echo* Oh, right.
 * Echo: Grrrrr.
 * Statyx: *Embaressed* Well, moving on. Now we just hold off for a bit, and let them take it from here...
 * Blaze (her voice behind them) Statyx, don't you remember the picnic we scheduled an hour ago?!
 * Twister: Well atleast I'm alive. and now I too have a date. see ya CHAOS CONTROL! *teleports off to find shade*
 * Statyx: *turns around* Well uh, you see I, uh, hey. Very funny Echo.
 * Echo: What goes around comes around, Sparx.
 * Statyx: Yeah yeah yeah. Alright, now say this: *whispers something into Echo's ear*
 * Echo: What? I'm not saying that.
 * Statyx: Exactly, they are. That's the whole point of this.
 * Echo: Fine.
 * Rouge: You knuckleheaded
 * Knuckles: What did you say!?
 * Rouge (Echo): I can't believe I have a crush on you!
 * Knuckles: What!?
 * Echo: Wouldn't you say we're going a little too far...
 * Statyx: Hmmmm, no, don't think so. Shall we continue?
 * Echo: Alright, but it's your grave your digging.
 * Statyx: I'm willing to take that risk. Anyway...*whispers something into Echo's ear* Got it?
 * Echo: Okay then.
 * Knuckles: Are you nuts!? What the heck are you saying!?
 * Rouge *blushing furiously*: But that, what I'm saying is-
 * Knuckles (Echo): I can't believe I like this bat girl!
 * Rouge: What!?
 * Knuckles *blushing furiously*: But I, that wasn't-
 * Statyx: Pfffffft HAHAHAHAHA, oh, this is rich!
 * Knuckles: What the?
 * Rouge: Wait a minute...
 * Knuxouge: STATYX!!!
 * Knuckles: And hey, isn't that that Echo girl Sonic told us about?
 * Echo: Uh-oh, busted.
 * Statyx: Oh, calm down. Those two are slow-pokes. We can just wait for them, and then bolt at the last second.
 * Knuckles: Gragghh!! *Punches mountain, causing it to shake*
 * Statyx: Whoa! Oh yeah, I forgot that while he's a slow-poke, he's also a power-house!
 * Echo: Then why aren't we running?
 * Rouge: Yeah, why aren't you?
 * Statyx: Well you see...uh-oh.
 * [Rouge is floating right in front of them]
 * Rouge: You two are in big trouble!
 * Echo: Not me. It was all him. I was just watching.
 * Statyx: *grins, holds up audio recorder*
 * Echo: *Stares at recorder*
 * Statyx: *starts recorder, revealing Echo's role in the prank*
 * Echo: I hate you.
 * Statyx: Get in line Echo. Now if excuse us Rouge, it would be 2-on-1 and *turns around, sees Knuckles snarling right in front of him* Uh, Echo, I think it's time we RUN!!
 * [Statyx and Echo blast off in a double sonic-boom]
 * Echo: Told ya.
 * Statyx: Ya ya, just keep running!

Tales from the Book of Shadows
This is a collection of different stories involving Echo the Hedgehog. Each week a new story is added.

Fairytales in Trance

 * This is the story of Princess Jasmine, Echo's Sonic and the Secret Rings alter ego.

The Knight of the Darkness

 * The tale of Dame Guinevere, the second Black Knight of Sonic and the Black Knight. She is Echo's Arthurian counterpart.


 * Sonic: *resting in a tree* *thud* Hmm? "Yo, Molasses!" *looks down and sees Echo looking up at him* Echo! What's up?
 * Echo: You. Duh.
 * Sonic: No, I mean what do you need?
 * Echo: To return this book you forced upon--er, lent me. I couldn't make heads or tails out of it, so I just looked at the pictures.
 * Sonic: Uh-huh. And exactly what did you learn from this book?
 * Echo: That you're a terrible artist.
 * Sonic: I didn't draw tha--aw, forget it! *hops down from the tree* *takes book* Thanks. *book startsto vibrate* Huh? What the-- *book moves in all directions, Sonic never lets go* Whoa!
 * Echo: Uh, is that supposed to happen?
 * Sonic: Not that I know of! *drops book, book flies open, a light shines from the book* *both are blinded by the light and when it disappears, so does Sonic*
 * Echo: ...I guess that's not supposed to happen, either.
 * Sonic: aaaaaAAAA AAAAA AAAAAAAAH!!! *thud, gets his head stuck in the ground* *struggles to get his head out* Ugh, why does this feel so...*looks around* ...familiar? Aw, man, of all the books to lend her!
 * ???: Your highness!
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Percival, Gawain and Lancelot come running towards him*
 * Sonic: Oh, perfect.
 * Percival: Sonic, you have arrived at a most impeccable time! The kingdom is in danger once again!
 * Sonic: Is that the reason I got dragged back in here? *later on, at the castle*
 * Merlina: A new black knight has been terrorizing the nearby lands, stealing their goods and then leaving. He has not been caught yet, and we fear he may strike Camelot next.
 * Sonic: So if that's the case, *thumbs over to the Knights of the Round Table* why not have these clowns take 'im down?
 * Knights: HEY!
 * Merlina: I'm afraid he is much too fast to be caught. As a matter of fact, there are rumors going on that he may even rival you in speed.
 * Sonic: Rival, huh? Sounds like a challenge! I'll go after this new Black Knight for 'ya easy! *running out the door*
 * Merlina: Sonic, wait! You'll need this! *throws him a sword*
 * Sonic: *catches sword* Caliburn?
 * Caliburn: Who else? It warms my...well, I can't say heart, exactly.
 * Sonic: Ah, I know whatcha mean. Anyways, we got a knight to race! *blue blur*
 * Okay, so how do I get Sir Bors and/or Statyx into this?
 * I have a pretty good idea. [meanwhile, back in the real world]
 * Statyx: Yo, Echo!
 * Echo: Don'tbeStatyx Don'tbeStatyx ♪ Don't be Statyyyx ♪ *turns around* Yo Statyx.
 * Statyx: I haven't seen Sonic lately, have you?
 * Echo: Yup.
 * Statyx: ...okay. ...you gonna tell me where he is?
 * Echo: Yup.
 * Statyx 'kay... ...so...where is he?
 * Echo: *points to the book on the floor*


 * Statyx: *facepalms* Oh no, not that thing.
 * Echo: What is it?
 * Statyx: That's something more than just a book.
 * Echo: It is?
 * Statyx: Yup. It's a portal to a storybook universe set in Arthurian times.
 * Echo: Really? Wait, how do you know?
 * Statyx: I borrowed it once, and found out the hard way.
 * Echo: Then how come when I opened it, nothing happened to me?
 * Statyx: *shrugs* I dunno. All I do know is that Sonic probably isn't in much danger.
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: Cause he's the king!
 * Echo: .....what?
 * [Statyx explains the events of SatBK to Echo, as well as his own experiences]
 * Echo: Wow, so Molasses is actually the king?
 * Statyx: Yup.
 * Echo: ... Statyx?
 * Statyx: Yes, Echo?
 * Echo: *bored look on her face, points to her face* Do you see this look on my face?
 * Statyx: Yeah..?
 * Echo: I am laughing.
 * Statyx: Oh, so you don't believe me?
 * Echo: No, I believe you. I just feel sorry for Camelot.
 * Statyx: Actually, you'd be surprised. He's actually quite popular there.
 * Echo: Whatever.
 * Statyx: *evil smile* Especially with the ladies.
 * Echo: *ear twitches* What?
 * Statyx: I mean, it is understandable. He did save their entire world, and is their king. Who knows, he might find someone special there.
 * And of course Statyx can't help subtly pushing Echo's buttons XD
 * Echo: ...I thought I mentioned the "love is a mental illness" theory already. Or is everything I say in your ears "wahp wahp wahp wahp, wahp wahp wahp wahp?"
 * Statyx: Hey hey hey, I didn't mention love. I'm just saying, you never know what could happen in there.
 * Echo: You just contradicted everything you said. Congrats.
 * [meanwhile, back in Camelot]
 * Sonic: *walking with Caliburn* I'm not seein' any Black Knights around here. Maybe he took off already?
 * Caliburn: I have my doubts about that.
 * Sonic: Heh heh. You pretty much doubt everything that I do.
 * Caliburn: Hmph! *black blur passes them*
 * Sonic: Whoo! Now we're talkin'!
 * [in the real world, the booms seems to vibrate on it's own accord]
 * Statyx: Whoa!
 * Echo: Interesting. *picks up book, it's vibrates in her hands*
 * Statyx: Don't just stand there, open it!
 * Echo: Don't tell me what to do! *opens book, it shows what's happening in Camelot*
 * Sonic: *chasing after the black blur* Yo!
 * Black Blur: *runs faster*
 * Sonic: So it's a race, eh? So be it! *goes faster, both are running at the same pace*
 * Echo: Who is that Molasses is after?
 * Statyx: I dunno, but whoever he is dosen't know who he's messing with!
 * Sonic: I'd like to keep this up, Speedy, but nobody messes with my kingdom! *homing attacks black blur, he dodges*
 * Black Knight with a helmet on: *female voice* Hmm. You are quite the fast one, are you not?
 * Sonic: I'd say the same to you, sister!
 * Black Knight: Let's see if your swordsmanship matches your agility!
 * Sonic: *draws Caliburn* You're on! *both charge, swords clanging*
 * Black Knight: Well, he's doing pretty good, I'll give him that.
 * Sonic: *knocks off Black Knight's helmet*
 * Black Knight: *raises head, reveals herself to look exactly like Echo*
 * Echo: What the...?!
 * Statyx: I shoulda seen that one comin'!
 * Sonic: Wha?! Echo...?
 * Lady Black Knight: Hmph. You are a better swordsman than I had anticipated, Knave. But it's time to end this.
 * Caliburn: Excuse me, madam, but I am the only one who calls him "Knave" around here!
 * Lady Black Knight: A speed demon with a over-sized, talking letter opener. How...quaint.
 * Sonic: *laughing* You pegged him on that one!
 * Caliburn: Fool! She is only trying to catch you off guard!
 * Lady Black Knight: *charges him* *both continue fighting*
 * Echo: Who IS that? Why does she look like me...?
 * Statyx: That would be your Arthurian counterpart, Echo.
 * Echo: Arthurian...counterpart?
 * Statyx: Yup. We each have one, all except Sonic, of course.
 * Lady Black Knight: Impressive.
 * Sonic: What did you expect from the Knight of the Wind?
 * Lady Black Knight: Wha?
 * Sonic: *knocks sword out of her hand, catches her* You heard of me, huh?
 * Lady Black Knight: You...you are the knight I have been searching for! True, I am a criminal in your kingdom, but I seek your assistance.
 * Sonic: *lets her up* What kind of "help" are you asking for?
 * Caliburn: HELP DIGGING YOUR GRAVE, THAT'S WHAT, KNAVE!! Can you not see she is only--
 * Sonic: *covers Caliburns mouth* You were saying?
 * Lady Black Knight: My kingdom, I'm afraid, is in famine. They have no money, and their monarch cannot feed them. They require me to go out and bring back as many food as I can for them to survive. You can imagine by now what that means.
 * Sonic: That you have to go around stealing as much as you can from other kingdoms...
 * Lady Black Knight: Precisely.
 * Sonic: Hm. Well, come back to Camelot with me, I can work something out with the Round Table.
 * Lady Black Knight: (to Caliburn) May I?
 * Caliburn: Please do.
 * Lady Black Knight: KNAVE! Do you not know you would be bringing back a criminal and we would both wind up on the guillotine? Besides, the only one that may associate with the Knights of the Round Table is--
 * Sonic: King Arthur? Well, you're lookin' at him.
 * Lady Black Knight: ...surely you jest.
 * Caliburn: He speaks the truth. I, Caliburn, also known as Excalibur, am living proof of that.
 * Lady Black Knight: ...I feel your kingdom's sorrow.
 * Statyx: Well how about that: you two both have the same opinion of Sonic.
 * Echo: Eh, she isn't so bad.
 * Sonic: Heh. I've got a friend like you back home. You two would get along juuust fine.
 * Lady Black Knight: Well then, shall we go?
 * Sonic: After you, Princess.
 * Lady Black Knight: I pray [wish]. *walks ahead of him*
 * Caliburn: I don't know about this...
 * Sonic: You're a cynical little butter knight, ain't ya?
 * Caliburn: *scoffs*
 * Sonic: *walks with the female Black Knight*
 * [Suddenly, a green blur blasts toward Sonic and the Lady Black Night]
 * Sonic: Look out!
 * [Sonic and the Lady Black Knight leap out of the way to avoid the blur, which causes an explosion]
 * Sonic: What the-!?
 * ???: I will not let you harm my kingdom!!
 * Sonic: Who the heck is that!?
 * [A green hedgehog clad in armor walks out of the smoke, towards the Lady Black Knight.]
 * Echo: Who is that?
 * Statyx: Ohh boy...
 * Echo: Don't tell me. You know him, don't you.
 * Statyx: You could say that.
 * Lady Black Knight: Halt! *reaches for her sword, Green Knight steps on it*
 * Green Knight: Your reign of thievery ends here, witch.
 * Sonic: What the...?!
 * Green Knight: *looks at Sonic* Whoever you are, leave now, and you shall not face the consequences for her actions!
 * Sonic: Yo! You've got it all wrong, she's-
 * Green Knight: Silence!!
 * Little somethin Shelly; Sir Bors never met Sonic, only Statyx hinself.
 * Echo: Man, who does he remind me of?
 * Green Knight: *draws his sword* Now, you shall pay for your actions against Camelot! *the Green Knight's sword is suddenly cloaked in electricity, and he swings it, sending out a powerful wave of electricity*
 * Echo: Wait a minute... *looks at Statyx* No way, that isn't...
 * Statyx: Yes, it is. That's Sir Bors, my Arthurian counterpart.
 * Echo: Wait, you know him?
 * Statyx: I told you, I found out the hard way what this book is.
 * Echo: That must have been interesting.
 * Statyx: To say the least.
 * Sonic: *dodges wave of electricity* Let her go!!
 * Green Knight: I take orders from no mere knave!
 * Sonic: Why does everyone call me a knave!? Is there some memo I didn't hear about!?
 * Lady Black Knight: *trips Green Knight, takes her sword* Now I'll show you a real fight, Green Knight!
 * Green Knight: *blocks her with his sword*
 * Shelly, Sir Bors doesn't know that Sonic is "King Arthur". As far as he knows, Sonic us just some knave. Please remember that.
 * Green Knight: You fool! I am Sir Bors, knight of the Round Table!! I will not allow you to further assault my kingdom!!
 * Echo: Well, I see he sings the same song as you.
 * Statyx: And that's a bad thing?
 * Sir Bors: *knocks away the Lady Black Knight* Prepare to die! *charges the Lady Black Knight, slashing*

Ehehe, sorry. I get it now though!
 * Sonic: *jumps in the way, blocks Bors' slashes* Grrah...!
 * Lady Black Knight: No, Knight! Please, run!
 * Sonic: NO! I'm not moving!
 * Lady Black Knight: You'll be destroyed if you don't move!
 * Sonic: I'll take that chance!
 * Sir Bors: *leaps back* Hmm, you Knave, show great honor and chivalry. You would have made an excellent knight, but now... *dashes foward, holding out his sword* You die!!
 * Lady Black Knight: *runs in front of Sonic* EQUALIZE!! *pushes back Bors, he lands on his back*
 * Echo: She really is me...
 * Statyx: Yeah, except nicer. Well, as nice as you could get.
 * Echo: *dosen't take her eyes off the book, kicks Statyx somewhere with her heel*
 * Statyx: HOI!! GAH...! *face turns light blue, lands on his knees* That was...very...cruel.
 * Echo: And as nice as I can get right now.
 * Statyx: At least, you weren't... wearing... heels.
 * Echo: I look like a cowgirl to you?
 * Sonic: Nice!
 * Lady Black Knight: Well, it was truly faster than you could react, you barrel of...Molasses!
 * Sonic: Sheesh! Some things will never change.
 * Lady Black Knight: *draws her sword* I shall end this for my kingdom. Slow One, either you help me or deliver the goods to my kingdom post-haste.
 * Sonic: I'm not leaving you here!
 * Lady Black Knight: Then only two of us will escape here alive. Someone's not going to be so lucky.
 * Sir Bors: Wrong. Only one of us shall leave here *gets up* And I shall not allow you near my kingdom!! *charges*
 * Caliburn: Enough of this foolishness!!!
 * [Everyone freezes, then look at Caliburn]
 * Sonic: Whoa, Caliburn.
 * Caliburn: Well, *ahem* it's just that all this fighting is completely worthless.
 * Sir Bors: Wait... Caliburn? *walks towards Sonic* As in, the sacred sword? *runs right up to Sonic* What are you doing with the legendary sword, weilded solely by my king!?!?
 * Caliburn: Simple, he is your king.
 * Sir Bors: .....Wh-what? *looks at Sonic*
 * Sonic: Uhh, yup.
 * Sir Bors: *stabs his sword in the ground and kneels before Sonic* My lord, I apologize! If I had known... the things I said!
 * Lady Black Knight: You weren't the only one baffled, Sparky One. I'm just wondering how long his kingdom will be standing. Hopefully, up until--
 * Sonic: Yeah yeah, I know! Your kingdom gets it's food, I'm working on that! We'd have been there already if not for this guy!
 * Sir Bors: Once again, I apologize My lord. If I had known that this lady was your mistress-
 * Both: *blushing hard* MISTRESS?!
 * Lady Black Knight: I am NO man's mistress!
 * Sonic: Yeah, you've got the wrong idea! I was just helping her and her kingdom out.
 * Lady Black Knight: Speaking of which, should we not head for Camelot?
 * Sonic: Yeah, that's right! Hey Greenie, you comin' with us?
 * Echo: *reading book, eyebrow twitching*
 * Statyx: *gets up, taking deep breaths* Okay, okay, I think I'm good.
 * Echo: *still looking at book, kicks Statyx again*
 * Statyx: AAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!! *falls back over. High-pitched voice* What did I do that time!?!?!?
 * Echo: Nothing. I just did it because I couldn't kick this guy.
 * Sir Bors: Of course, anything for my king.
 * Sonic: Please, just call me Sonic, would ya?
 * Lady Black Knight: I'd sooner call you Molasses.
 * Sir Bors: One question though, your majesty: if you truly are the king, why do you allow her to insult you so?
 * Sonic: Let's just say she reminds me of a friend back home.
 * Sir Bors: Who in Camelot mistreats you, your majesty?
 * Sonic: Not Camelot! I'll explain on the way.
 * Lady Black Knight: Besides, he's not my king.
 * Sir Bors: Well, do you have special feelings for this friend?
 * Sonic: *acting just a tad bit nervous* What? No pfffffft, please! She's just a friend, really!
 * Echo: *sad look on her face*
 * Sir Bors: Well, does this friend have special feelings for you?
 * Echo: *blushes hard*
 * Sonic: *turns around* Alright, bub, that's enough. Honestly, you remind a lot of... remove your faceplate!
 * Sir Bors: What?
 * Sonic: You heard me, remove the faceplate!
 * Sir Bors: *puts up his faceplate, revealing a face identical to Statyx's*
 * Sonic: *chuckles* That explains so much right now.
 * Sir Bors: I don't understand?
 * Sonic: Tell me, have you ever met someone named Statyx?
 * Sir Bors: What? Yes, I have! Wait, if you know him, that must leave no doubt, you are the king! *bows before Sonic*
 * Sonic: Wait, you weren't sure I was the king?
 * Sir Bors: *looks up at Sonic* Forgive me my lord, but you don't exactly act like the traditional king.
 * Lady Black Knight: Told you.
 * Sonic: Ah, shut up Echo.
 * Lady Black Knight: Pardon?
 * Sonic: Eh...sorry. She's that friend I was talkin' about.
 * Lady Black Knight: And how possibly could you mistake me for your lady-friend?
 * Sonic: Alright, cut it out! She's just a friend, nothing more.
 * Echo: ...
 * Sonic: Anyways, let's get going, shall we?
 * Both: *nod, all three of them head for Camelot*
 * Statyx: *chuckles* Ouch.
 * Echo: *looks down at Statyx, who is laying on the ground, smiling*
 * Statyx: Now that was cold.
 * Echo: *looks back at the book* What would you know?
 * Statyx: Only that if you don't act at some point, "just a friend" is all you'll be for the rest of your lives.
 * Echo: ... ...I don't care.
 * Statyx: Yeah, that's why your face changed when he--
 * Echo: *steps on him*
 * Statyx: *lets out a squeak*
 * Echo: Any more questions?
 * Statyx: No, ma'am.
 * Echo: *turns the page*
 * Sonic: So you see, all the Black Knight needs is food for her kingdom.
 * Gawain: Lies! Do you not remember the Black Knight that was here in the past?
 * Lancelot: He nearly destroyed the kingdom, and that's what this Black Knight is secretly plotting as well!
 * Percival: How do we know we can trust this knight?
 * Sonic: But what if she's telling the truth? Besides, that was Camelot's Black Knight. This Black Knight is from a whole different kingdom! Right? Uh...
 * Lady Black Knight: Guinevere.
 * Caliburn: *alarmed* GUINEVERE?! The Guinevere?!
 * Guinevere: Is there not one Guinevere?
 * Sonic: You heard of her?
 * Caliburn: According to the legend, Guievere is...the king fiancee!
 * All: WHAT?!
 * Echo: WHAT?!
 * Statyx: *bursts into laughter* As if I weren't in enough pain! WA AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!! Echo, HAHA! Please, don't kick me again, it may prove lethal!!
 * Echo: I HOPE SO!!!
 * Guinevere: *takes a few steps back* Sure you Jest.
 * Sonic: Are you saying she's my wife?!
 * Caliburn: I'm saying she's your future wife. And I don't joke, my queen.
 * Guinevere: *twich* I only want to feed my people! When did I agree to this?!
 * Sir Bors: *chuckles* It seems my assumption that she was your mistress was more accurate than any of us thought.
 * Guinevere: I AM NO MAN'S MISTRESS!!
 * Sir Bors: Exactly, you're just his future wife.
 * Guinevere: *blushing hardly* But I- he is- ....graaahhhhh!! *stomps off*
 * Statyx: *breathing heavily* Tough luck Echo.
 * Echo: What do you mean?
 * Statyx: I mean, it looks like Sonic is spoken for! *bursts into further laughter*
 * Echo: Aw, shut your toothbox! if he dosen't like me, what makes you think he'd be into the idea of getting married to a SWORDSWOMAN?!
 * Statyx: What would that have to do with anything?
 * Echo: *turns back to the book* ...unbelievable...
 * Lancelot: So it's settled: the king will help Lady Guinevere's kingdom, and the two wed in a month.
 * Sonic: Whoa whoa whoa! Marrige? I met her, like, 2 hours ago!
 * Guinevere: And I have no intention of becoming a queen! *turns to Sonic* Your Highness, I'm sorry, but all I really need is for my home to be happy. I do not require a husband right now.
 * Sonic: I see we're singing the same song here. Plus, once business is finished, I'm outta here!
 * Caliburn: But--
 * Sonic: Merlina's been makeshift ruler since I left, right? Why can't she do that now?
 * Caliburn: Having a queen is one thing, but a temporary queen is not enough! Eventually, someone will have to take the throne, and who rather to do it than his own King Arthur?
 * Sonic: But back home, I have a life, and friends, and a world to protect! I mean *looks around, then at Sir Bors* Why can't he be the substitute King Arthur! He could do the marriage!
 * [Sir Bors and Percival jump at the statement]
 * Sir Bors & Percival: NO!!!!!
 * [Everyone suddenly looks at Percival]
 * Percival: *blushing, gaze darting around nervously* Well erm, that is to say... *looks at the ground, fidgeting a bit*
 * Guinevere: Whatever the case, I cannot be queen.
 * Sonic: And I can't be king.
 * Caliburn: I'm afraid there is only one solution...
 * Sonic: What's that?
 * Caliburn: We must find the heir to the throne.
 * Sonic: There's an heir?
 * Caliburn: Yes. The one called Amir.
 * Sonic: Amir?
 * Caliburn: The Princess of Camelot. It is unknown who conceived her, but she is the rightful heir.
 * Sonic: So then why not just go find this Amir?
 * Merlina: Because she was captured by the dragon that attacked before your arrival. That's why you were summoned here when we heard the Black Knigh was on her way. We need a protector.
 * Gawain: Sir Tom A'Lincoln has already gone after the beast, but we are worried he may not make it back.
 * Sonic: So, what if he does? I'm sorry, really, but I'm afraid that Amir and Tom are gonna have to take over.
 * Percival: Even if they do come back, the kingdom wouldn't be able to stand another attack before.
 * Sonic: Whoa whoa whoa! One thing at a time! This kingdom just needs someone to follow, and right now Merlina and the kights can handle that. But Guinevere's kingdom is starving! We need to get them some food first!
 * Guinevere: *looks at Sonic with a hint of admiration* Th-thank you Sonic.
 * Sonic: *thumbs up* Don't mention it, Gwen.
 * Guinvere: ...G-Gwen?
 * Sonic: You don't mind, do you?
 * Gwen: *blushes* N...no. Gwen sounds... nice.
 * Sonic: Alright, we've got some food to deliver! *later on, crates of food are staked into a cart, and villagers whip their horses into action*
 * Sonic: You should be able to lead them to your kingdom, right?
 * Gwen: Yes, thanks to you. *gives Sonic a kiss on the cheek, Sonic blushes hard* Thank you, Knight of the Wind...*runs off, horses follow*
 * Sonic: ...didn't see that comin'. *waves goodbye to Gwen*
 * Echo: *still reading* ...
 * Caliburn: Now, we just need to worry about the safety of Sir Tom and Princess Amir.
 * Sonic: I could go check on them if you want--
 * Merlina: Look! *see Sir Tom (Jezz) riding back on his horse with Amir (Shelly)*
 * Sonic: Never mind. Well, my work here is done.
 * Merlina: *casts a spell, a portal opens up, with Sonic jumps through*
 * Echo: *the book begins to vibrate in her hands*
 * Statyx: *pulls her back* Watch it!
 * Echo: Whah! *drops book, Sonic jumps out*
 * Sonic: Ya miss me?
 * Statyx: Welcome back, Sonic.
 * Echo: *turns her back*
 * Sonic: ...what?
 * Statyx: Heh. She saw what happened back there.
 * Sonic: Really? Then I guess you noticed Gwen, huh?
 * Echo: *remains silent, starts walking off*
 * Sonic Echo? What's wrong? *catches up with her* Echo? Echo? What did I do?

Dang, I had an idea of some big thing happening, and before Sonic left, "Gwen" would show up in the typical princess/queen attire, and then... well I didn't think of anything specific after that except that Statyx would laugh his head off. Ah well, maybe another time.
 * Statyx: Uh, Sonic?
 * Sonic: *turns around* What?
 * Statyx: *points to his cheek*
 * Sonic: Huh? *wipes his cheek, looks at his hand* Gwen didn't have anything on her lips?
 * Statyx: *groans, facepalms*

Couple Troubles

 * Statyx blows the big secret, and Sonic and Echo start to work things out. But with Echo's temper, who knows who's going to get hurt?


 * Sonic: OW! *gets hit with a soundwave*
 * Echo: And don't you forget it, Sonic!
 * Sonic: *sits up* WHAT DID I DO?!
 * Statyx: Heellooo?
 * Sonic: What!?
 * Statyx: What just happened a few moments ago?
 * Sonic: Uhhh, Gwen left, and that happy couple, which looked alot like Jezz and Shelly, came riding in, and now here I am!
 * Statyx: *facepalms, shakes his head* Honestly, you are faster than a jet, but as thick as a castle wall!
 * Sonic: What are you talking about!?
 * Statyx: THE KISS!!
 * Sonic: OH!!! ...what about it. *leaps out of the way just in time to avoid another soundwave, this time a bigger one* It's official: Echo scares me more than Amy!
 * Statyx: Ehh, big hammer still beats soundwaves in my book, but that's not why we're here. Now think about it, who did that kiss come from?
 * Sonic: Uh, Guinevere...
 * Statyx: And who, or what, is Guinevere?
 * Sonic: She's Echo's Arthurian counterpart! I still can't tell where you're going with this, Statyx.
 * Statyx: Hmmm, *looks to see if Echo is out of earshot* Alright, now this is where it gets complicated. Now, you saw that my Arthurian counterpart, and Blaze's Arthurian counterpart like each other, right?
 * Sonic: Yeah, I caught that.
 * Statyx: *rolls eyes* Miraculously. Now, if Echo's Arthurian counterpart likes you, what does that tell you about Echo?
 * Sonic: ...uh...*scratches head* ...*tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, DING!* *shocked face, long silence, bursts into laughter* HAHAHAHAHA! WHOO HOO HOOOO! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
 * Statyx: *serious but calm look on face* I'm not kidding Sonic.
 * Sonic: *laughter gradually stops* rr--*clears throat* Really...? But-- but you don't mean...that's CRAZY! Echo hates me!
 * Statyx: Maybe now, she does.
 * Sonic: A-and she heard what I said about being friends, and the kiss, and the king and queen thing?
 * Statyx: *nods*
 * Sonic: But...*stops, stares at Statyx with an angry expression*
 * Statyx: ...what're you looking at me for?
 * Sonic: *runs over to Statyx and grabs him by the shoulders* And just HOW LONG did you know about this?!
 * Statyx: 'Bout as long as I've known Echo.
 * Sonic: And why didn't you say anything before!?
 * Statyx: Because whenever I tried to, Echo was around. Remember all those times Echo blasted me as I was about to say something?
 * Sonic: So...you mean this whole...and the--the date at Texas Motor Speedw--
 * Statyx: Yes, yes, and yes. Everyone knew this, Sonic. Even Fou knows.
 * Sonic: ...so how could I have not noticed?
 * Statyx: *smirks* 'Cause she's embarrassed about it.
 * Sonic: What?
 * Statyx: She's embarrassed that she's fallen completely in love with you, you idiot! She goes to every length she can to hide it!
 * Sonic: ...*chuckles* Wow, even my racing buddy has fallen head-over-heels for me. So...what do I do?
 * Statyx: Well, the first thing you should do is apologize.
 * Sonic: *shrugs* Sounds easy.
 * Statyx: *raises eyebrow* This is Echo we're talking about. First you'll have to survive long enough to get a word in edge-wise!
 * Sonic: *gulps* Oh yeah... that ain't gonna be too easy.
 * Statyx: Yeah. Oh, and could you do me a favor?
 * Sonic: What?
 * Statyx: Not mention that I told you.
 * Sonic: Why?
 * Statyx: She hates it enough that I tease her about it and try and bring it up; if she found out I actually told you, she'd obliterate me!!
 * Sonic: Good point. *runs off in the direction Echo went*
 * Statyx: ...heh, I can only pray for him now.
 * Sonic: *spots Echo* Hey Echo! Echo!!
 * Echo: *walking, hears Sonic, ignores him completely* Go away, Sonic.
 * Sonic: (Wow, no "Molasses". Now I know I'm in trouble) *runs up to Echo* Echo, hold on. I just wanna talk.
 * Echo: *still walking* There's nothing to talk about.
 * Sonic: *puts his hand firmly on Echo's shoulder* Yes, there is.
 * Echo: *shakes his hand off her shouldler, continues walking*
 * Sonic: *runs in front of her* Echo. Just listen, would 'ya?
 * Echo: Nope. *passes by him*
 * Sonic: *grabs Echo arm*
 * Echo: Paws off, Princess.
 * Sonic: Heh, "Princess"? That's a new one. What happened to "Molasses"?
 * Echo: I repeat: Let me go.
 * Sonic: Echo...I just wanna--
 * Echo: Want to what, rub it in my face that you're a king? That you're the "Knight of the Wind"? That you and my Arthurian counterpart are not man and wife?
 * Sonic: ...is that what's bugging you?
 * Echo: You're so clueless, you know that?
 * Sonic: I just want to apoligize, Echo.
 * Echo: ...
 * Sonic: Echo, do you.... like me?
 * Echo: *pupils shrink* ...(Statyx...!) *heartbeat sounds* ...no, I don't. ...Why?
 * Sonic: Call it a hunch. Now Echo *looks Echo right in the eyes* Do you like me?
 * Echo: *heartbeat sounds again, this time faster and louder* ...*eyes cross, Echo turns completely white and faints*

Hey Shelly, is Echo faking, or did the stress of telling Sonic how he felt prove just too much for her? Oh, and what about our other roleplay?

Nobody turns white on purpose. The love of her life is confronting her and she just coudln't take it. So lights out XD and I'm still waiting for you to add something over there, Kagimizu!!

Okay okay! Sheesh, I'm glad I didn't bring up the songs.
 * Sonic: *catches Echo* Whoa! Hey Echo, you alright?
 * Echo: *pupil-less eyes, out cold*
 * Sonic: *worried tone, shaking Echo* Hey Echo, you can quit faking now. Echo? Come on Echo, it ain't funny! Echo!!
 * Echo: *still out, nosebleed*

What does the nosebleed mean?
 * It means she's out cold. Duh.
 * Sonic: Oh man! *picks up Echo, starts running back towards Statyx* Statyx!!
 * Echo: *stiff as a board*
 * Statyx: Hm? *looks to see Sonic running towards him, carrying Echo* Whoa, what's up Sonic?
 * Sonic: It's Echo! I apologized, then brought the fact that she- and then I- and then she just-
 * Statyx: Okay okay, I understand. Just put her down.
 * Sonic: *gently lays Echo down*
 * Statyx: *examines Echo* Hmm, did you bring up her crush on you?
 * Sonic: Yeah?
 * Statyx: *chuckles* Then here's your proof.
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Statyx: The person she's completely head-over-heels in love with confronts her about her crush, and it all just becomes too much too fast for her to handle.
 * Sonic: Echo...?
 * Statyx: *picks up her hand, listens* I'm getting a pulse. She's still alive.
 * Sonic: *relieved sigh* I thought I had knocked the wind out of her for good...
 * Statyx: Again, this is Echo the Hedgehog we're talking about. She's too strong for her own good.
 * Sonic: Yeah...
 * Statyx: What you should be worried about is when she wakes up.
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Statyx: Yeah, because you're gonna have to talk to her about it again.
 * Sonic: ......*gulps*
 * Echo: *groans, eyes slowly opens* Wha...?
 * Sonic: Echo?
 * Echo: *drowsy for a second, then furious* *grabs Statyx by the face, sizzling sound*  STATYX!!!  *offscreen, pounding sounds*
 * Statyx: *severly beaten* I thought I asked you not to tell her!?
 * Sonic: I didn't!
 * Echo: YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I KNOW WHO'S STUPID ENOUGH TO BLOW THE SECRET!! Do you NOT remember the you tried that stupid stunt?! *still beating him*
 * Statyx: But I was just trying to help!!
 * Echo: HOW DOES THAT HELP!?!?!?
 * Statyx: One of my friends was in pain, and another friend wanted to help, but that friend didn't know how to, because he didn't know the problem! I told that friend the problem, so he could find a solution and help the first friend!!
 * Echo: NOSY INSENSITIVE JERK! *explosion*
 * Statyx: *getting chased by Echo*
 * Echo: WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU YOU'LL BE NOTHING MORE THAN A GREASE STAIN!!
 * Sonic: *gets in between Statyx and Echo* Hold it Echo! We seriously need to talk
 * Echo: I don't wanna hear it, bub! I'm busy trying to rearrange Circuit City's face!!
 * Statyx: Ouch! Circuit City?
 * Sonic: Alright, first we talk, then you can murder Statyx.
 * Statyx: *clinging to a tree branch* TRAITOR!!
 * Echo: Mm...deal.
 * Sonic: Good. Now, let's just sit down and talk. *sits down*
 * Echo: *about to sit* *throws a soundwave at Statyx, then sits* Ready.
 * Statyx: *lets go of branch, falling to the ground and avoiding the soundave* Oof!
 * Sonic: Alright, now you promise you won't faint on me again?
 * Echo: No promises, dude.
 * Sonic: *sighs* Alright then, let's start it off simple. Echo, do you like me?
 * Echo: No. That is the single most disgusting thing I have ever heard -- and I used to get my 3 square meals from a dumpster.
 * Sonic: Don't lie to me, Echo.
 * Statyx: Eh, sounds like the truth to me.
 * Echo: *soundwave*
 * Statyx: *blocks with Thunder Shield*
 * Sonic: Echo, your earlier reactions say that you aren't telling me the truth here and now.
 * Echo: You wanna know why that happened? Then just sit still and listen. [silence]
 * Sonic: Echo--
 * Echo: Shh. [more silence, rumbling]
 * Sonic: Was that your stomach?
 * Echo: Precisely. I havent eaten in two weeks.
 * Sonic: Echo, you can only go up to ONE week without food.
 * Echo: Not me. I'm used to going longer. Why else would I faint?
 * Sonic: At the exact time I asked you if you liked me?
 * Echo: ...yup. Any more questions?
 * Statyx: Hey, I know how you can get the truth!
 * Sonic: Okay, let's hear it.
 * Statyx: KISS HER!! LAND A BIG LONG WET ONE RIGHT ON THE LIPS!!
 * Echo: *turns completely red in the face*
 * Statyx: *waves his hand towards Echo* And there's your proof.
 * Sonic: *looks at Echo* Would you like to re-submit your answer?
 * Echo: NO. *gets up* I'll come back after Statyx has been electrocuted.
 * Statyx: Echo, tell the truth or not only will I make you tell the truth, I'll make you go into the middle of town at rush-hour, and yell at the top of your lungs "I AM IN LOVE WITH SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!". Besides, he already knows the truth, so you might as well have the dignity to admit it.
 * Echo: Oh, I will. *evil, sadistic look in her eyes* I just have one little thing to take care of before then. Statyx...*reaches into her coat*
 * Statyx: *rolls eyes* Alright, if it will get you to finally admit it, then get it out of your system.
 * Echo: Good. Now close your eyes, think of the Bahamas, and hope for the best. *pounding sounds, Statyx screaming* [one hour later] *still going on*
 * Sonic: Alright, that does it! *runs over and grabs Echo's arm* What're you tryin' to do, KILL him?!
 * Echo: Ooh, good idea.
 * Sonic: *grabs both of Echo's arms* No--STOP THAT! I swear Echo, sometimes you can be a real--
 * Echo: *places her finger on his mouth* alright...I've got it out of my system. Now, what was that question you keep asking me...?
 * Sonic: Echo, do you like me?
 * Echo: Yes.
 * Sonic: STOP LYIN--wha?
 * Echo: Yes, I do.
 * Statyx: Wow. I nevew wat (thought) I'd shee da day dat Echo admit her feewings.
 * Sonic: Okay, now let's continue. When did you start liking me?
 * Echo: I dunno. Everyone likes you.
 * Sonic: ECHO!!
 * Echo: Alright, alright. I guess it was... *flashbacks to the day they met, Echo was lay asleep in a tree, and Sonic jumped in*
 * Echo: Huh...what the. *notices Sonic, goes back to sleep*
 * Sonic: Sorry.
 * Amy: *running with her hammer* *pant, pant* I can't believe Sonic missed our date AGAIN! *hits the ground with her hammer, causes an earthquake, and an apple falls out of the tree*
 * Amy: Ow!! Grr! *hits the tree*
 * Echo: Shut up, I'm tryin' to sleep.
 * Amy: Hey! Have you seen a blue hedgehog around here?!
 * Echo: Yup. *picks her foot up*
 * Sonic: No no, NO NO!
 * Echo: *kicks Sonic out of the tree, chaos happens below* Love. It's such a mental illness. *goes back to sleep* *flashback ends*
 * Sonic: That was you?
 * Echo: Yup. But it definetly didn't happen way back then.
 * Sonic: So...when?
 * Echo: Remember the girl who's flute you recovered?
 * Sonic: That was you too?
 * Echo: You've got a worse memory than I do.
 * Sonic: Well, I live a fast-paced life. It's hard to keep track.
 * Statyx: Keep tellin ya dude. You gotta slow down or you're gonna miss some real big stuff.
 * Echo: *steps on Statyx, he squeals* You gonna keep quiet now?
 * Statyx: *silent*
 * Echo: Good boy. Now then, you found out the truth, you found out how long ago it was. Anything else you need to know here and now?
 * Sonic: Well, why do you like me?
 * Echo: What?
 * Sonic: Well, you've put up that act for so long, I can't help but ask what you find attractive about me.
 * Echo: ...it's...because...
 * Sonic: Yes?
 * Echo: it's just...you're like, my best friend, Sonic. When you're around, I don't feel like I'm just a weapon to be used and discarded...to tell you the truth...you...you make me...happy...
 * Statyx: Aw...
 * Echo: If you talk to me you're gonna get punched in the face.
 * Statyx: Again?
 * Echo: Yes.
 * Statyx: Can I at least say that I can relate?
 * Echo: You can at "least" give us a moment.
 * Statyx: *smiles* By all means.
 * Echo: Then hurry up before I Equalize you out.
 * Statyx: No no, by all means, take your time.

P.S. Congrats on a solid 7,000 edits Shelly!!
 * Thanks!! :D *hi-5's Kagi* I'm a bit surprised myself!
 * Echo: O-U-T STATYX!

''You're welcome! I have to be honest and say I'm not surprosed in the least.''
 * Statyx: One problem.
 * Echo: What?
 * Statyx: How am I supposed to get out of sight with your foot on top of me!?
 * Echo: ...Ohh. *gets off of Statyx* Well, just remember that next time you want to get into my personal life.
 * Statyx: And just remember this the next time I get involved.
 * Echo: Uh-huh. *kicks Statyx* Get along, lil' doggie. Git along...
 * Statyx: *growls* .....fine. Oh, but you might want this. *tosses Echo a book*
 * Echo: What's this?
 * Statyx: *grins* Your journal. I suggest you put that in a better hiding place next time. *chaos controls away*
 * Echo: *picks it up* Uh...
 * Sonic: *looking at her*
 * Echo: This isn't mines I'm just holding it for a friend.
 * Sonic: Uh-huh. Don't worry, I won't read one page.
 * Echo: Scumbag Statyx, on the other hand.
 * Sonic: Echo, he's not a scumbag.
 * Echo: You're right...that's an understatement.
 * Sonic: ...
 * Echo: Mean and OWN it.
 * Sonic: Yeah *puts hand on Echo's shoulder* But I know you've got a soft side, and so does he. He just... tries a bit more to get you to show it.
 * Echo: Isn't that the truth...oh, and before I forget...*kisses Sonic, places her hand on his forehead* I'm not gonna forget this. You, on the other hand...*releases painful soundwaves*
 * Sonic: *screaming, passes out*
 * Echo: *shakes head* Another day, hedgehog. *soundwaves her journal, burning it* Another day... *walks off* Now to find Sparky. *cracks knuckles, runs off*
 * Statyx: *looks from behind a nearby tree, sighs* Echo, when are you gonna learn? *picks up her journal, puts out the flames* You can't keep trying to forget your past. None of us can, no matter how badly we want to. *looks over to Sonic* Well, better wake up the sleeping prince. *zaps Sonic's forehead*
 * Sonic: I'm up I'm up! Whoa *holds head* What happened?
 * Statyx: Echo tried to erase your memories, again.
 * Sonic: Again?
 * Statyx: Long story. Point is, Echo isn't ready to truly share her feelings, so until then, you'll have to act oblivious.
 * Sonic: Uhhh, okay? Don't know how I'll do it though.
 * Statyx: Just act the way you did before you found out.
 * Sonic: *shrugs* I can do that.
 * Statyx: Good. *puts journal under arm* Now I have to go, before me goose is cooked! *chaos controls away*
 * Echo: *earthshattering screech*   STATYX THE HEDGEHOG, WHEN I FIND YOU, I WILL SEND YOU TO THE MUTED DIMENSION 200 YEARS IN THE FUTURE!!   
 * Statyx: *looks to the sky* Looks like Echo's still on my tail. Now, is it possible for me to get some salt and pepper with that rice?
 * [Statyx is revealed to be in rural China]

XD Well, it looks that about wrapped up the roleplay. What now?
 * Yeah, too bad it isn't really canon. Sonic knowing how Echo really feels, Statyx having her journal; that could be really juicy stuff. As for "what no?", I guess I might as well ask about song results *sheilds self*

* opens purse, pulls out a bazooka* Certainly you didn't think I was about to let you get away with that. And why would I make that sort of stuff canon? It'd cancel Equalized, remember?
 * First, in all seriousness, have you been able to find anything? Second, how would that happen?
 * ) Haven't had the time (OR memory) to look. It'll take time to find a good one, I should have one soon enough.
 * &lt;spoiler&gt;
 * He dosen't find out until about her feelings 'till near the end of the game.
 * &lt;/spoiler&gt;
 * 1)Alright then. If that's the case, then just tell me so.
 * 2)I didn't know that one. And since that wouldn't work, then the journal wouldn't either.
 * 2)I didn't know that one. And since that wouldn't work, then the journal wouldn't either.

Sure wouldn't. (she really dosen't keep one, though. "Echo's Journal" was just a way for people to get to know Echo)
 * 'Kay then.

 * Echo: EQUALIZE! *jumps from the building and hits Egg Pawn #1 with a soundwave* *3 more Egg Pawns rush over*
 * Echo: *lands on Egg Pawn, one Pawn shoots at Echo, misses, and destroys the other one* HMPH! *kicks away Egg Pawns*
 * Egg Pawns: *lay smashed to bits on the floor*
 * Eggman: *over loudspeaker* Ah, well done Echo! You've managed to fend off my Egg Pawns. But don't think I'm through yet, I'll be back! *flies off*
 * Echo: Egghead. Now then... *turns around and girl is gone* *looks to her left and sees girl running off* *watches her for a few seconds, turns and walks away*
 * No, no I don't know what to do.

XD all you need to do is find a way to squeeze Statyx into this. Shouldn't be too hard.
 * ....I got nothin. I can't think of a way to get Statyx into this.
 * Alright then, lemme see what I can do.
 * Statyx: *walking down the sidewalk* Fou! Hey, Fou!! Where is that little rascal?? *spots Echo walking his direction* Yo, Echo!
 * Echo: *sees Statyx, jumps into a garbage can*
 * Statyx: *walks to the can* Sheesh, Echo. For a sec, I almost thought you were scared of me. *takes off lid, Echo isn't there* Wha...
 * Echo: *pops up from in a dumpster, chewing* Someone call my name?
 * Statyx: How did you-- when-- ...what are you eating?
 * Echo: Stale banana peel. *holds out stinky, blackened peel* Wanna bite?
 * Statyx: *wrecthes, swallows* I'll pass, thank you. It's a wonder you haven't gotten food poisoning yet.
 * Echo: I have. I just had it so much my body is immune to it.
 * Statyx: I can buy that. Hey, have you by any chance seen Fou?
 * Echo: Don't you think that if I had seen Fou, I wouldn't be withing spitting distance of this place?
 * Statyx: A simple "no" woulda sufficed.
 * Echo: Although Eggman stopped by here a moment ago.
 * Statyx: Well, that helps. Thanks, Echo. *runs ahead, stops for a second* By the way, did you ever hear of someone named "Summar Starr"?
 * Echo: Nope. Should I care?
 * Statyx: In a word: Yes. She's a missing celebrity. Her recording company's offering $10,000 for her return. Imagine how many Chili Dogs you could buy with that much money.
 * Echo: ... *drops peel, climbs out* I'm coming with ya.
 * Statyx: I thought so. Heck, with that money you could buy a small hut or somethin.
 * Echo: You know that's not my lifestyle.
 * Statyx: I know, I know. Just, a little place to return to, if you wanted to.
 * Echo: Whaaatever. *crash sound, blonde girl running up ahead* Oh, just her.
 * Statyx: Huh. That's pretty big talk for someone who's letting their meal ticket get away.
 * Echo: What're you giving me. (?)
 * Statyx: ...oh, that's right. How can you recognize her if you didn't even know who she was 5 minutes ago?
 * Echo: ...*points to blonde* You mean she's...?
 * Statyx: *nods*
 * Echo: ...ah, let her run. No one should be deprived of that privellege. What the-- *car headed straight for the blonde* Outta the way, Spark Plug!! *runs to blonde, sweeps her up, runs out of the way before the car hits* *puts blonde down* Watch yourself, would ya?!
 * Summer: What the...y-you're that...thing...from...from earlier...
 * Echo: You're welcome. *walks away*
 * Statyx: Uhhh, Echo?
 * Echo: What?
 * Statyx: 10,000 dollars?
 * Echo: Here's the plan: you save her, then give me the money.
 * Statyx: Whaaa???
 * Echo: I don't like to get my hands dirty. Especiall for one little blonde girl.
 * Statyx: Fine, but I get half of the income.
 * Echo: *raises finger, about to talk, blonde screams*
 * Summer: *surrounded by Egg Pawns*
 * Eggman: *over loudspeaker* Just come quietly, and no one will get hurt.
 * Echo: *groans* *homing attacks Egg Pawns*
 * Eggman: Why you miserable little...!
 * Echo: *picks up Summer, starts running* Statyx! Keep Eggman busy!
 * Statyx: Echo?
 * Echo: YES YOU STILL GET HALF THE MONEY JUST DO IT!!
 * Statyx: ......You know, it's kinda sad. If she wanted money, she coulda just asked me for it. I have more than enough. *turns to Eggman* Alright, now why are you after Summer?
 * Eggman: Oh, well, you see, it's very simple. It's just uh, well, you see...
 * Statyx: I'm waiting.
 * Eggman: *sweatdrop* Well you see, I'm a bit of a fan of hers, and I wanted to get an autograph.
 * Statyx: *raises eyebrow* And the Egg Pawns?
 * Eggman: Well, she's quite famous, and if anyone noticed she was around, it would be a frenzy! Plus, she's sort of on the run, so....
 * Statyx: Wait, so you really just want an autograph?
 * Eggman: What is your point, hedgehog?!
 * Statyx: You are INCREDIBLE! I know you've done some crazy things before, EggHead, but this is just pitiful!!
 * Eggman: GAH! What do you know?! You idolize no one but yourself!!
 * Statyx: I think you're confusing me with Sonic! I mean really, it's like you wanted to kidnap her!
 * Eggman: Well... the thought crossed my mind.
 * Statyx: *growls*
 * Eggman: *waving his hands frantically* But I decided against it! I swear, I only want an autograph, then I'm gone!
 * Statyx: Really?
 * Eggman: Cross my heart and hope to...ermm...yes.
 * Statyx: ........Fine.
 * Eggman: Wait, you'll help me get her autograph!?
 * Statyx: *shrugs* Sure. But no Egg Pawns!
 * Eggman: Grrr...deal. *hits a button, Egg Pawns disappear* *Egg Mobile reaches ground, jumps out of Egg Mobile*
 * Statyx: Just don't expect me to carry you all the way there.
 * Eggman: And don't expect me to be able to run as fast as you.
 * Statyx: Touche. Now c'mon, we have to find Echo.
 * Eggman: Ah, your new girlfriend.
 * Statyx: *stumbles* Wh-what!? What the hell gave you that idea!?
 * Eggman: I don't know. Just seemed like it.
 * Statyx: Look, I'm still with Blaze, and Echo would sooner kill me than even think about kissing me. 'Sides, she already has a crush on someone.
 * Eggman: Who?
 * Statyx: Who else?
 * Eggman: You don't mean...?
 * Statyx: Yup. The blue blur himself.
 * Eggman: Hm, she doesn't seem like the type.
 * Statyx: Nah, she's just real good at hiding it.
 * I can't believe you misspelled "your"...
 * Echo: *still running with Summer*
 * Summer: Just what are you?
 * Echo: Neither a friend nor a foe.
 * Summer: Oh, so you're a fan. Just one question: where did you lear to run so fast?
 * Echo: Let's just say it's a life-long kinda thing. *runs into the alley, lets Summer down* Stay. *looks around* Apparently, Statyx was able to hold off Eggman a suitable amount of time.
 * Summer: And just where' do you guys get those costumes?
 * Echo: It's not a costume, Princess.
 * Summer: Makeup?
 * Echo: Noo.
 * Summer: So...
 * Echo: Ugh. Come on. *walking off, Summer follows Echo*
 * Summer: Again, exactly what are you?
 * Echo: Guess: What has spines on it's back?
 * Summer: Um...porcupine?
 * Echo: And can't eject them?
 * Summer: That would beee...a hedgehog!
 * Echo: Bingo.
 * Summer: So...where are we going?
 * Echo: Back to your palace. *silence* *turns around, Summer disappeared* You need a better hiding spot. Come out, I know you're there.
 * Summer: *slowly comes out from behind a garbage can* I should've known. You just plan to bring me back so you can get the reward money!
 * Echo: Everyone is. Including Eggman.
 * Summer: Egg-who?
 * Echo: The guy with the robots who was just chasing you 30 pages ago.
 * Summer: Well, I don't care! I'm not going back, and you can't make me! *turns around to run, Echo appears in front of her*
 * Echo: Okay, then riddle me this: you're rich. You're famous. You get everything you want. Why would you want to run from such a glamorous life...
 * Summer: ... I...I've been doing this all my life. From when I was little up to right now. I never got to be what I really am...a girl. I never had any adventures. At least...not up until now. A mad scientist, a superhero--erm, if that's what you are.
 * Echo: I'm no hero. Just the opposite, actually...*kicks a rock*
 * Summer: What do you mean? You saved me! That sounds pretty heroic to me!
 * Echo: Weren't you the one who just complained that I did it for the reward?
 * Summer: Even so, I'm actually having a good time right now!
 * Echo: ...
 * It was a typo!
 * Eggman: So, where exactly would we find this Echo person?
 * Statyx: *shrugs* I dunno. She's the type that just goes wherever the wind takes her.
 * Eggman: So how exactly do plan on finding her!?
 * Statyx: Well, I have a habit of running into her. We keep lookin, and we're bound to find her eventually.
 * Eggman: So my chances of getting an autograph from The Summer Star rely on you getting LUCKY?!
 * Statyx: Hard to believe, I know. But it's our only chance.
 * Summer: So, what happened to your other friend? "Static", was it?
 * Echo: "Statyx". And knowing him, Eggman's probably back home turning his toaster into a tracking device or somethin'.
 * Summer: *giggles* Really?
 * Echo: No joke.
 * Summer: True, but it sure is funny! *looks ahead* It's the studio!
 * Echo: Good. This misson's almost finished.
 * Summer: Yeah, although I'm a bit sad it has to end so soon.
 * Echo: I find that hard to believe.
 * Summer: Oh?
 * Echo: Nothing.
 * Eggman: Well?
 * Statyx: Well what?
 * Eggman: We've been walking around forever, and we haven't seen either Summer or that Echo girl!
 * Statyx: *spots Summer and Echo, points to them* You mean those two?
 * Eggman: Oh. So it would seem.
 * Statyx: See? What'd I tell you? Now, how's bout I go over there and explain everything?
 * Eggman: Why?
 * Statyx: Because if you go running over there, Echo'll kill you. And that could quite possibly be a literal statement.
 * Eggman: *gulps*
 * Statyx: Yeah.
 * Summer: *whips around, sees Eggman* AAH!
 * Echo: *turns around* Hmm?
 * Summer: Look! It's that creep! And Starrett is with him! They've joined forces to capture me!!
 * Echo: His name is Statyx. And I doubt he'd join up with Eggman for something so little as money. Now, get behind me.
 * Summer: *runs behind Echo* Yo, TAZER FOR BRAINS!
 * Statyx: *anima blood vessel* What did she just say?
 * Eggman: Uh, she said "Tazer For Brains".
 * Statyx: I HEARD WHAT SHE SAID!!
 * Eggman: I was only trying to help!
 * Echo: WOULD THE LOVELY COUPLE PLEASE GET OVER HERE?!
 * Statyx: Funny, Egghead said the same about you and me.
 * Echo: WHAT!?
 * Statyx: Yeah.
 * Echo: Great, one more reason to turn him sunny side up!!
 * Statyx: Whoa gal. Believe it or not, he isn't here to cause trouble.
 * Echo: Well, I don't believe it so step aside and lemme deal with this.
 * Eggman: *hides behing Statyx* DO SOMETHING!!
 * Statyx: Echo, he just wants an autograph.
 * Echo: Is that what he told you?
 * Statyx: Trust me, if he gets outta line, his butt is mines.
 * Echo: Right. *gets in his face* And if he turns out to be lying, your behind is mines.
 * Statyx: *gulps* Summer write one up for him would you please?
 * Eggman: *gives her a picture of her*
 * Summer: *signs it, gives him back* Sheehs, sweetie. If that's all you wanted, all you had to do was ask.
 * Eggman: *sweating, blushing* T-t-thank you.
 * Echo: Alright, problem solved. We're done here, Statyx.
 * Eggman: Not quite. *hits a button, a cage drops on each of them (sans Eggman)
 * Summer: What the?!
 * Statyx: EGGMAN!
 * Echo: Told ya.
 * Eggman: *in his Egg Mobile, flying away* Getting an autograph isn't bad, but neither is $10,000! *hook lifts up Summer's cage*
 * Summer: Help!!
 * Echo: Statyx, YA BONEHEAD!!
 * Statyx: *puts hand up to Echo's face* Hey uh, Eggman?
 * Eggman: What?
 * Statyx: This cage is metal, right?
 * Eggman: Yes. So?
 * Statyx: *shakes head* He never learns. Alright, I'll get us out of here in no time!
 * Echo: How?
 * Statyx: *looks at Echo, eyebrow raised* You're kidding, right?
 * Echo: I don't kid, kid.
 * Statyx: *zaps his cage, nothing happens* What the...?!
 * Eggman: "Never learns", eh?! Don't bother. Those cages are made of material inpervious to electricity.
 * Statyx:  ?! 
 * Echo: I hate you.
 * Statyx: Would you get in line already?! If you recall... *hands become cloaked in green flames* ...I have more than electricity!
 * Eggman: Oh dear.
 * Statyx: Chaos Blast!! *blasts cage to smitherenes* Oh Doctor, I want to have a word with you.
 * Eggman: N-now now, can't we talk about this!? If you think about it, I'm not doing anything illegal! So, could we reach a compromise?
 * Statyx: Hm, let me think about that... No. *grabs Eggmobile with electrokinesis* Echo, if you would.

"Compromise" has an "O", you know.
 * Echo: I would...IF I WEREN'T STILL CAGED UP!!

.....You know I could point out your less-than-perfect grammar as well, don't you?
 * Statyx: What, you aren't strong enough to break yourself out?
 * Echo: Oh, I am. I'm just taking this opportunity to rest up. *snoring*
 * Statyx: Echo, now's not the time to be lazy!
 * Echo: You seem to have it under control. Oh by the way Eggman's gone.
 * Statyx: *looks around, Eggman disappeared* And so did Summer! ECHO!!
 * Echo: That's my name. *resumes snoring*
 * Statyx: *eye twitches* Geez, you are completely useless! I'll never know why Sonic decided to get you something.
 * Echo: *ear perks up* He... got me something?
 * Statyx: Yup. But what would you care? All he got you was a- Oh, now I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise, now would I? *sudden explosion*
 * Hyello?

* slaps with purse* I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!! I wrote a whole paragraph and you just caused edit conflict!!
 * Echo: *walking past Statyx* C'mon we got a princess to rescue.
 * Statyx: She makes it too easy. *runs after her*
 * [Egg Mobile hovering above, with Summer's cage hanging right below it]
 * Summer: Where are you taking me?!
 * Eggman: Good question, Miss Summer. Tell me, have you ever heard of the Egg Carrier?
 * Summer: Isn't that when people buy in stores with a dozen eggs inside?
 * Eggman: *anime sweat drop* Not quite. That's an egg carton.
 * Summer: Oh.
 * Statyx: EGGMAN!
 * Eggman: Wha?!
 * Echo: *using her soundwaves to hover in the air, holding up Statyx*
 * Statyx: Remind me to ask you how you did this, Ech.
 * Echo: Quiet. I'm still mad at you.
 * Statyx: Alright, you know the drill!
 * Echo: *whirls Statyx around, throws him at Eggman as a spinball*
 * Eggman: *hits a button, a spring pops up on the side of his Egg Mobile that bounces Statyx right back at Echo*
 * Echo: ...wow. *Statyx hits Echo, both fall*
 * Echo: Nice one, genius.
 * Statyx: Would you stop being mad at me long enough to grab my hand?
 * Echo: I'm not a hand holder.
 * Statyx: *grabs Echo's hand, creates an electro-magnetic field that keeps them hovering right before they hit the ground* Whew! Close one!
 * Echo: Statyx. *points to Summer's net, which starts breaking* -
 * Summer: Aah!
 * Statyx: Oh, man!! Eggman!
 * Eggman: What NOW?!
 * Statyx: Do you NOT realize Summer's about to become pavement paint?!
 * Eggman: *looks down* Oh. That's not good. *net snaps, Summer falls*
 * Echo: *dashes towards Summer, when she is out of sight, crashing sound*
 * Statyx: What the?! *runs to where Echo was, looks around* Echo? Summer?! *dumpster lid lifts, the two are sitting* -
 * Statyx: ...well, I give you a 9 for the dive, and a 2 for the landing.
 * Echo: No one asked you.
 * Eggman: Ooh, you've done it now! *summons his Egg Pawns (from Sonic Next Gen this time)* This time, I'll finish you two off first!
 * Statyx: Hey Echo, I'll flip a coin with ya. Heads, you fight the bots; Tails, I get Summers out of here.
 * Echo: Let's go with the third choice. FORTISSIMO!! *lets out a sonic screech, blasting half the robots away*
 * Summer: *coverng her ears* WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I BROKE MY AMP?!
 * Statyx: What, Only half?
 * Echo: Oh, and you can do better?
 * Statyx: Actually, yes. *blasts through the rest of the bots*
 * Echo: *crosses arms* Showoff. *5 more waves of enemies drop down*
 * Statyx: *fighting stance* Eggman's not playing around anymore.
 * Echo: *fighting stance* What was your first clue? The army of robots or the kidnapping?
 * Statyx: Are you gonna help me or not?
 * Echo: Do I have a choice?
 * Statyx: No.
 * Echo: Alright then. *both perform Sound Breaker, destroying the robots*
 * Eggman: Okay, that's it! *hits a button, Checker Wrecker drops out of Egg Mobile* If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!
 * Echo: Desperate much?
 * Statyx: I'll get Summer outta here, you-- *turns around and the two of them are gone* --or not.
 * Eggman: *swings Checker Wrecker at Statyx*
 * Statyx: *jumps in the air, dodging the attack* *performs Chaos Attack*
 * Eggman: *drops Checker Wrecker, sent flying* YOU MISERABLE HEDGEHOOOOOOOGGG....! *ping!*
 * Statyx: Well, that officially takes care of that. Now, off to find Echo and Summers.
 * Echo: *clears throat, her and Summer are standing on a building behind Statyx*
 * Statyx: ...found you.
 * Echo: Uh-huh. *picks up Summer, jumps down, and lets her down* There's your castle. Stay out of trouble, will ya? *walking away*
 * Summer: Uh, Echo, was it...?
 * Echo: Yes.
 * Summer: T-thanks. For everything.
 * Echo: *two-finger salute, walking off*
 * Statyx: *facepalms* ECHO!!
 * Echo: What're you dorkin' about now?
 * Statyx: $10,000!!!
 * Echo: Oh, that.
 * Summer: I almost forgot! *takes out pen and notepad* Just give me your address and my people will send it to you, okay?
 * Echo: Don't have one.
 * Summer: Oh...really?
 * Echo: Believe it.
 * Statyx: Sorry Summer, she's sort of a nomad.
 * Echo: "Sort of"?
 * Statyx: Okay, she's definately a nomad.
 * Summer: Oh dear... Hey! I just had an idea!
 * Echo: What?
 * Summer: Why don't you stay with me?
 * Echo: Whaaa.....?!
 * Statyx: Ooh, sounds like a bargain to me.
 * Echo: I...uhh....
 * Statyx: Hmm, weird. I was expecting an immediate "yes", but apparently Echo likes the chewy taste of month-old banana peels.
 * Summer: ...of course, we'll have to give you your shots.
 * Echo: Ah, too late. I practically am a virus, so a shot'd just kill me.
 * Summer: Is she joking?
 * Statyx: Considering her health diet of gold-necked Carrion beetles and sludge, I'd say she's being serious.
 * Echo: Anyway, no thanks. The wind is my home.
 * Statyx: Wait-wait-wait-wait-wait-wait wait a minute. You, Echo the Hedgehog, proud HOBO, are turning down a chance to get a home, and everything else you've ever wanted? Quality food, flute lessons, eventual stardom? Maybe even a treadmill so you don't have to stop running?
 * Echo: Yup. All out the window.
 * Statyx: Once in a lifetime chance! MONEY! A chance to impress Sonic!!
 * Echo: Who?
 * Statyx: ...MOLASSES!! A chance to show Molasses a thing or two!!
 * Echo: Oh. Eh, I can do that by just running. Leaving him in the dust. Exploring the world.
 * Statyx: *facepalms* I honestly don't understand you Echo. The main reason you even tried to save her was because of the $10,000 dollar reward, and when you have the chance to get that ten-fold, you turn it down!?
 * Echo: Yep.
 * Statyx: .....*eye twitches*
 * Summer: Oh, that's too bad. Still, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask, 'kay?
 * Echo: Sure. Oh, one thing, Summer. I'd like you to give the reward to Electro-freak here.
 * Summer & Statyx: Whaaaa???
 * Echo: Yup.
 * Summer: Why?
 * Echo: So he can give the reward to me.
 * Statyx: *smirks* Of course. *waves hand* No need Summer. *blue blur speeds by them*
 * Echo: And that's my cue to ride off into the sunset. *races after Sonic*
 * Summer: What was that?
 * Statyx: Echo's love interest. *gets hit with a soundwave* I mean, her rival.
 * Echo: Yo, Molasses!
 * Sonic: Echo! Up for a race?
 * Echo: Aren't I always?
 * Sonic: Sheesh. A simple "yes" woulda been fine.
 * Echo: Yeah, it woulda been.
 * Statyx: Hold it Echo!
 * Echo: *looks at Statyx* What?
 * Statyx: *blasts off in a lightning bolt, comes back in a few seconds, holding a large bag* Here. *tosses the bag at Echo*
 * Echo: *catches the bag* Oof! What is this?
 * Statyx: $20,000; double the reward money.
 * Echo: What!? What did you do, rob a bank in 5 seconds!?
 * Statyx: No, just got it out of my account.
 * Echo: ..........Huh?
 * Statyx: *chuckles* Echo, being a G.U.N. agent pays, big.
 * Echo: Wait, so you're loaded!?
 * Statyx: Yep.

...I think we just inspired the Echo-crushes-on-Statyx roleplay thing XD
 * Echo: ..........WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU BOOB?!?!
 * Statyx: You didn't ASK!
 * Echo: ...*shrugs* *to Sonic* Nascar and Chili Dogs?
 * Sonic: Oh, yeah!! *both speed off*

What, she would have a crush on him because of his money? Is she really that shallow?
 * Statyx: Oh and don't worry Echo, it isn't a loan!!
 * Echo: *zooms back* What does that mean?
 * Statyx: It means that you won't have to pay me back. However, that won't always be the case.
 * Echo: Of course.
 * Statyx: Now, go on, get back to your date.
 * I'm joking. No chance.
 * Echo: *winks, runs off*
 * Summer: There goes one brave hedgehog...
 * Statyx: Yeah, brave and rich.
 * Summer: That'll depend on how many chili dogs she buys.
 * Statyx: Yeah, and how fast!
 * Summer: *giggles*
 * Statyx: Well, I better get you home. Everybody's probably worried about you.
 * Summer: Yeah.
 * Statyx: *picks up Summer* Well, here goes! *Chaos Controls back to Summer's house*
 * [The next morning]
 * News Reporter: And in other news, famous actress Summer was found in her house early this morning. However, she refuses to comment on where she disappeared to and what occured. And our final news for this morning; a brown female hedgehog had to be rushed to the hospital and had to have her stomach pumped after eating almost $20,000 dollars worth of Chili Dogs. While she suffered a severe case of bloating, the doctors say that she will make a full recovery. And that's the Station Square Morning News.

How's that for an ending XD?

That was so funny I nearly chocked! XD Well, now that this one's wrapped up, what do you say we get started on the manners and etiquette RP?

Mind your Manners

 * Sonic makes the decision to take Echo out to a fancy resteraunt, and it is up to Statyx to turn Echo into a properly-behaved ladylike figure. We all know this is not going to be easy!

Alright Shelly, who starts it off?

You, of course (it was your idea, after all)


 * [Sonic running around, looking for someone. He then spots who he's looking for]
 * Sonic: Hey, Echo!
 * Echo: *in a tree, playing "Scenery Called Everyday" on her flute* Hmm? *looks down* Oh, it's Molasses. *sits back up* Lemme guess, you have good news?
 * Sonic: Yeah!
 * Echo: You won best in show?
 * Sonic: ...aren't you a clever little monkey. *earthquake* I'M NOT A MONKEY?
 * Echo: *unfazed* You hear somethin'?
 * Sonic: *on all fours* ...nothing...but...the wind. *gets up* Anyway, I wanted to ask you something.
 * Echo: Hm? What is it?
 * Sonic: *scratching the back of his head* Uhh, well, you see, I was wondering...
 * Echo: Just spit it out Molasses.
 * Sonic: ...If you... would like... to go... to dinner... with... me...?
 * Echo: ...one sec. *slapping her ears* Repeat that?
 * Sonic: Would you... like to go out for dinner... with me?
 * Echo: *blushing* I...uh...s... sure...
 * Sonic: Hmm?
 * Echo: *nods yes*
 * Sonic: Uhh, g-great! Here. *hands Echo a card* Be here at... 7-ish?
 * Echo: T-thanks...see ya. *still blushing*
 * Sonic: G-great! Well, I'll uhhh, see you at 7. *runs off*
 * Echo: *still blushing, looks at the card for a while, then holds it close, her whole body shaking with joy and excitement* (I'm still shaking inside...I know I'm not smiling, but I also know I'm happy...) *sits down on the stump, blushing, eyes closed* *a few seconds pass, Echo opens her eyes and sits up* I don't have a watch. Well, you know what they say: when you want somethin', and don't wanna pay for it, you go to Statyx. *walks off* YO! THUNDER-DUD!! Well, looks like another exciting installment of "The Many Searches for Statyx the Hedgehog".
 * Statyx: Hyello.
 * Echo: Bwahh!! *sees Statyx laying on a tree branch, his eyes half-closed* W-wha-, how did you-, how long have you been there!?
 * Statyx: All day.
 * Echo: *blushing, gulps*
 * Statyx: And I was enjoying a nice nap 'till I heard someone yell my favorite name.
 * Echo: Oh.
 * Statyx: Anyone notice that we're having a bit of a role-reversal here?
 * Echo: You mean you're the one sleeping and I'm looking for you, then yes. Plus, I just need the time.
 * Statyx: Oh. Well, it's 10 in the morning. Why do you ask?
 * Echo: Because, I have a date tonight.
 * Statyx: .....Excuse me what did you say?
 * Echo: *puts her hand over her mouth and holds a soundwave, brings it over to Statyx*
 * Statyx: Okay, okay! I believe you! You didn't have to try to deafen me.
 * Echo: *crushes soundwave into sparkles* Like I said, I'm going on a date.
 * Statyx: With who?
 * Echo: You don't need to know.
 * Statyx: Ah, so you finally got a date with Sonic, did you?
 * Echo: What makes you think that?
 * Statyx: Your cheeks are redder than Fou's feathers.
 * Echo: ...point taken.
 * Statyx: So, where's he taking you?
 * Echo: *gives Statyx the card*
 * Statyx: *reads the card, eyes widen*
 * Echo: Hmph, well, it looks like I can get a date just fine on my own, without your help.
 * Statyx: Uh, Echo?
 * Echo: All that cheesy romance junk you kept laying on me all amounted to nothing! Sonic asked me out on his own, and I didn't need any of your help!
 * Statyx: Echo.
 * Echo: And do you know why? Because I was my natural self! None of your cheesy romance, no skimpy clothes, no gawdy makeup; Sonic saw me for who I am, and that was good enough!
 * Statyx: Yo, ECHO!

Just thought that with all the "helping" Statyx does, Echo would like to rub this in his face ^_^
 * Echo: You don't have to shout.
 * Statyx: Do you know which resturant Sonic is taking you to?
 * Echo: Not really.
 * Statyx: Only the fanciest most high-class resturant in the city!
 * Echo: So?
 * Statyx: *jumps down* That means dancing, dresses, makeup, fancy food, public dining, use of utensils...
 * Echo: *pupils shrink, ears drop* It couuldt've been McDonald's
 * Statyx: I could help you out with all of that, but you said you don't need my help, so I'll be going. *starts walking off, arms folded behind his head, smiling* 3... 2... 1.
 * Echo: Statyx...
 * Statyx: Yes, Echo?
 * Echo: You and I both know I don't know how to ask for help.
 * Statyx: Yeah, and?
 * Echo: ...so how can I get it?
 * Statyx: I'll make it easy on you. Just ask "Statyx, will you please help me get ready for my first date with Sonic, so it doesn't turn out to be my last?"
 * Echo: Are you joking.
 * Statyx: Okay, Echo. If you don't want my help, then...
 * Echo: *soft growl* Fine. Statyx. Will you help date so not last?
 * Statyx: ...that's the best you could do?
 * Echo: *anime vain* Statyx. Will you help...mm.....m....mmmmeeeeee.... get r-ready for my first ......d...d.d.ate...?
 * Statyx: I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch tha--
 * Echo: WILL YOU 'PLEASE HELP GET READY FOR MY FIRST DATE WITH SONIC SO IT DOSEN'T TURN OUT TO BE MY LAST?!?!?!? *twitching, steaming*
 * Statyx: Geez Echo, I made that simple for you. I could have made you ask in a number of different ways.
 * Echo: *raises a fist packing soundwaves*
 * Statyx: *raises a finger to Echo's face and wags it* Uh-uh-uhhhh. You're in no position for such actions, Echo.
 * Echo: *powers down* Grrr...are you gonna help me or not?!
 * Statyx: Yes.
 * Echo: Listen you I- wait, what?
 * Statyx: Did I stutter? I said "yes". I will help you.
 * Echo: ...good. So, where do we begin?
 * Statyx: Like I said, there's dresses, dancing, makeup, public dining, and using utensils. .......Dresses it is.
 * Echo: Wait why!?
 * Statyx: Because, it's the only part where I can't get stabbed, kicked, or poisoned.
 * Echo: That may be a smart choice for you, but I am a different story!
 * Statyx: I understand, Echo. *walking off* Good luck on your date with Sonic.
 * Echo: *bigger anime vain* ALRIGHT, ALREADY!! Whip out the girl lace!
 * [Statyx and Echo reach the entrance of a girl's boutique]
 * Statyx: *looks at the entrance with a less-than eager look on his face* Well, let's get this over with.
 * Echo: *looks at Statyx, confused* What's up with you? You're the one who suggested this place first.
 * Statyx: *looks at Echo* Yeah, but I'm still not crazy about it. I am a guy after all.
 * Echo: *looks at Statyx with a somewhat angry look* Hmph! *stomps into the store*
 * Statyx: .......Wait, that came out wrong. *follows Echo into the store*
 * Echo: *looking at all the dresses* Well, this is gonna be interesting.
 * Statyx: What makes you say that?
 * Echo: Usually, when I burn someone's dress, they're wearing it.
 * Statyx: Yeah, well be careful, because if you ruin any of these dresses, you're paying for it.
 * Echo: So?
 * Statyx: Did I mention the 3-digit price tag?
 * Echo: .......*gulps*
 * Statyx: Just find some dresses you like.
 * Echo: I don't like any of these dresses.
 * Statyx: Just take a look around until you see something that you like.
 * Echo: Didn't you hear me? I don't-
 * Statyx: Then I guess you don't want that date with Sonic either.
 * Echo: Grrr..... Fine! *simply grabs a whole lotta dresses*
 * Statyx: *rolls eyes* Great, now I'm gonna have to judge every one of those dresses.
 * Echo: *tries on multiple dresses, with Statyx dismissing each one*
 * Statyx: Geez Echo, don't you like any of the dresses?
 * Echo: Well, how bout this? * comes out wearing a skimpy and provocative dress*
 * Statyx: Gurk! *covers nose to hide nosebleed* That might be a little too much Echo.
 * Echo: *raises eyebrow* What, too much dress?
 * Statyx: *a spurting noise is heard* I meant too much skin! Put something classier on!
 * Echo: Okay okay! Geez. *goes back into Dressing Room. Tosses dress over door*
 * Statyx: *catches the dress, examines it* Geez, who the hell would make such a provocative dress? Hey wait a minute, this is Blaze's size! *blushes, and looks up. His gaze then darts side to side, and he hides the dress behind him* I think I'll just hold on to this.
 * Echo: Alright, how's this? *comes out wearing a blue dress*Echo_fashion.png


 * Statyx: *slaps his forehead* Hallelujah! A dress that actually works!
 * Echo: Great! Now let's get out of here. *stats undressing*
 * Statyx: *blushes, covers his eyes* ECHO!!
 * Echo: Alright! *gets back into Dressing Room*
 * [The two then go to the cashier]
 * Cashier: Oh, hey Statyx! So, have you been forced here at hammer-point again?
 * Statyx: Eheheheh, no. My friend Echo here has a date tonight, and I'm helping her.
 * Cashier: Echo? Hey, Statyx said a lot about you!
 * Echo: Oh? *shoves Statyx back* What did he say?
 * Cashier: Oh, well he said... *looks at Statyx, who's frantically waving his hands* ...thaaat you are a, kind and caring person who is one of his close friends and would do anything to help you.
 * Statyx: *facepalms*
 * Echo: Riiight. Statyx, just pay the lady, and be thankful that I need you alive. *grabs dress and stomps towards door*
 * Statyx: *sarcastically* Thanks alot. *pays bill and follows Echo*
 * Cashier: *sighs* I always lose customers like that... and boyfriends.

''Doh! That idea I had was tied specifically to the dresses part!''

XD Great minds think alike. Sorry ._.|


 * Statyx: *sitting down at a table* Now, we move on to etiquette.
 * Echo: I'm liking it so far. *reaches out for a chicken leg, Statyx almost stabs her hand with a sharp knife*
 * Statyx: Now then, onto the first lesson.
 * Echo: *rubbing her hand* I'm listening.

Can I tell you the idea?

Please do.

''Well, Echo would come out wearing a skimpy dress, giving Statyx a nosebleed (which he would hide by covering his muzzle), and Statyx would say that the dress is too much. Echo would misunderstand, asking if it's too much dress, earning another spurt of blood. Statyx would then yell that it's too much skin, and that she should put something classier on. Echo takes Statyx advice, and goes back into he changing room. She ends up tossing the dress over the door, with Statyx catching it. Statyx would then think to himself, wondering who would make such a provocative dress. However, he would then notice that the dress is Blaze's size. After a bit of fantasising (fantasies not shown), he would hide the dress, deciding to "hold on" to it XD. Whaddya think?''
 * I thought about giving him a nosebleed, too, but according to his page he supposely "Has his testosterones under control".

''Yeah, when he's prepared for it or in the heat of battle. Now, with all that's gona on, do you think he'd really expect Echo to come out looking ?''

No, but let's just go back and add that part real quick. (and the funniest thing about it is that it strengthens the StatEcho theory!)

''Alright then, I'll make the neccessary edits. I also had a little comedy idea concerning the cashier. Sorry about wiping the ettiquete part -_-''
 * Ah, that's cool. We can get back to that part later.

XD That is funny!! Anyways, back to the etiquette thing now.

 * taking bows* Thank you, thank you!


 * Statyx: Alright, in a public dining area, no matter how classy, or how lack-luster, you must dine with respect and dignity. Now, I know I'm gonna regret this, but show me how you usually eat.
 * Echo: I was just about to do that when you nealy amputated my hand.
 * Statyx: Just start eating.
 * Echo: *rips off the chicken leg, eats it, belches loudly*
 * Statyx: Just as I thought.
 * Echo: You'd better hurry or you won't get any.
 * Statyx: *facepalms* That is not eating "with respect and dignity". Of course, maybe a fast-food resturant isn't the best place to use as an example.
 * Echo: Got that right. *takes Statyx's hamburger, eats it in one bite*
 * Statyx: Remind me never to leave you alone while you eat.
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: Because I can't do the heimlich on you if I'm not here.
 * Echo: Can we get on with this lesson?
 * Statyx: Alright. We're going to my house.
 * Echo: Sure you'll have enough room for me?
 * Statyx: *looks at Echo with a smug grin* Oh, I think we'll manage.
 * [Statyx and Echo reach Statyx's house. Echo looks up at the house, jaw dropped, pupils shrunk, and ears drooped]
 * Statyx: *waves his hand* After you.
 * Echo: This is your house?
 * Statyx: Didn't I tell you I was loaded?
 * Echo: *faints*
 * Statyx: No matter how many times I show people my house, I never get tired of that. Alright Echo, time for us to hit the kitchen.
 * Echo: *gets up, rubbing her head* ...Why can't I remember anything?
 * Statyx: Very funny, Echo.
 * Echo: Oh yeah, that's my name.
 * Statyx: Sheesh, you really haven't seen a house this big, have you?
 * Echo: I grew up in an alley, of course I have not.
 * Statyx: Well then, I guess you've never seen a fully stocked refrigerator either, have-
 * [Brown blur blasts by Statyx and into the house]
 * Statyx: -you? .....Honestly, she makes it too easy.
 * Echo: *sitting at the dining room table*
 * Statyx: *opens his refridgerator, smiles with his eyes closed, anime vain* Echo... WHERE IS ALL MY FOOD?!
 * Echo: It's in here!
 * Statyx: *walks into the dining room* Where?
 * Echo: *points to her stomach* Here.
 * Statyx: ......*smiles*
 * Echo: What's so funny?
 * Statyx: 3, 2...... 1.
 * Echo: *suddenly puckers her lips, eyes start watering, she starts sweating*
 * Statyx: So Echo, how does 20 pounds of food covered in mashed white peppers taste?
 * By white peppers, I mean the hottest peppers of them all. Yeah, Statyx can be cruel.
 * Echo: *runs past Statyx, jumps in the refridgerator*
 * Statyx: I hope that teaches you never to go in my refridgerator and take my food without permission.
 * Echo: *turns around with a mouthfull of white peppers in her mouth*
 * Statyx: ...WHAT??
 * Echo: *swallows, licks her fingers* You're talking to a girl who once ate food that was on fire.
 * Statyx: ......Eh, that was the booby-trap food anyway.
 * Echo: WHAT?? You mean you're loaded enough to actually waste 20 pounds of food for a booby-trap?
 * Statyx: Yup.
 * Echo: *opens mouth*
 * Statyx: No Echo, you cannot borrow money.
 * Echo: Fine. Well, we got past dining, so what's next?
 * Statyx: Oh no Echo. We aren't going anywhere 'till I see you eat like a dignified and self-respecting woman.
 * Geez, I'm making Statyx sound like my mom XD! Oh, and don't you think it would be a good idea to add Blaze to Echo's relations?
 * Echo: Sheesh, alright already. *sits down* On the bright side, I get more food.
 * Statyx: *grins* Yup. Hey Fou, bring it in!
 * Fou: Okay! *runs in, carrying plates of [insert food that Echo would be disgusted/disappointed by]*

Actually, Echo eats everything and anything? Remember the gold beetle?
 * Why do you think I put "disappointed" as an option?

...you lost me. Seriously, though. If you starved her long enough, she would put a spicy, used diaper in her mouth. That describe her appetite?
 * Dang. There must be something that would curb Echo's appetite a bit?

How about Hedgehog meat? XD
 * Statyx is a hedgehog. He's a bit eccentric, not a cannibal.

I was joking! Okay, instead how about fancy liver, snails, and chicken with mold?
 * Ah, a fellow fan of the Suite Life.

I'll take that as a yes.
 * Echo: What is this crud?
 * Statyx: Patte D'Fagraea, Escargot, and Cocovan Araut re F'raduction (?)
 * Echo: ...
 * Statyx: Basically the stuff you'll be eating at the resturant.
 * Echo: Well, this date better be worth it. This stuff looks gross even to me. *takes small bite*
 * Statyx: Well if you play your cards right, you might actually get a kiss.
 * Echo: *Surprised, starts blushing and choking on her food*
 * Statyx: Whoa! Echo!
 * Echo: *grabbing her neck, choking*
 * Statyx: *performs the Heimlich, Echo spits out the food*
 * Echo: *gasping* If you...*pant*...EVER bring up a kiss again...I'll mess you up...
 * Statyx: Is that any way to talk to your etiquette coach?
 * Echo: *grumbling, eating her food like a "dignified and self-respecting woman"
 * Statyx: There you go! You're actually a fast learner, you know that?
 * Echo: *wipes her mouth, belches* Excuse me.
 * Statyx: *raises eyebrow* Well, it's a start. Just use a napkin and remember that "excuse me", and you should be good.
 * Echo: Okay. So, we got shopping and eating done. What else should I cram into my head last minute?
 * Statyx: And that's your opinion of this whole experience?
 * Echo: That's not my opinion at all.
 * Statyx: Then why am I detecting a hint of sarcasm?
 * Echo: Can we just move on already?
 * Statyx: Well it's not exactly "last-minute"; you've still got about 5 hours. We'll be cutting it a little close, but that should be enough time.
 * Echo: Get on with it...
 * Statyx: Dancing.
 * Echo: I had to open my mouth.
 * Statyx: C'mon. The sooner we get going, the sooner we get it over with.
 * [The two reach a large dance hall, completely empty]
 * Echo: Wow, this is HUGE! *"HUGE" echoes several times over* Whoa, I didn't even have to use my powers.
 * Statyx: Yeah.
 * Echo: Hey, this place is completely empty?
 * Statyx: Cause I reserved it for 2 hours.
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Statyx: We wouldn't any casualties during your lesson, would we?
 * Echo: True. Alright, let's get this over with. *grabs Statyx by the arm and starts pulling him towards the dance floor*
 * Statyx: Someone's a bit overeager, 'eh?
 * Echo: I just wanna get this over with so I can get ready for my...overnight activities.
 * Statyx: That's just a fancy title for the word "date".
 * Echo: *clears throat* Okay, hit the music. *breakdancing, trips and falls flat on her face when Waltz music plays* Wah happun?
 * Statyx: That's not the type of dancing you'll be doing at the resturant. And thank heavens, because your underwear would be showing most of the time.
 * Echo: *blushes from embarrasment*
 * Statyx: *holds out his hand* Now, shall I show you how to dance the right way?
 * Echo: Alright. *takes Statyx's hand*
 * Statyx: *helps Echo up, then pulls her close*
 * Echo: What're you trying to pull Statyx?
 * Statyx: It's called a waltz. It's the type of dancing you'll be doing. This is awkward for the both of us, so learn quickly. *takes one of Echo's hands in his, and wraps his other arm around her waist*
 * Echo: Resisting. Urge. To kill.
 * Statyx: This'd be a lot easier if you'd keep quiet.
 * Echo: Echoes aren't quiet.
 * Statyx: *zaps her a little* That's what I thought. *dancing* *1 hour later, still dancing* Well, Echo, you're turning into a fine young lady.
 * Echo: You sound like my mother.
 * Statyx: There's just one problem we need taken care of.
 * Echo: And what would that be...
 * Statyx: Smiling.
 * Echo: *stomps on his foot*
 * Statyx: *winces, bites lip to keep from yelling*
 * I was hoping to do a little StatEcho thing, where they start dancing and eventually start enjoying it, but after finishing the routine, they return to their senses XD.

XD Okay, let's rewind then (again)
 * We don't have to do that, actually...
 * Statyx: Alright, let's go over the routine once more.
 * Echo: Okay...
 * [Statyx and Echo begin dancing]
 * Statyx: Now, just keep with the rythm, and remember the steps.
 * Echo: O-okay.
 * Statyx: Is that all you can say?
 * Echo: Don't taunt me, I'm doing the best I can here.
 * Statyx: Sheesh, I forgot you can't take a joke.
 * [more dancing]
 * Statyx: I must admit, you are doing an excellent job.
 * Echo: Back at ya. You're actually a...pretty good dancer.
 * Statyx: Did you just...compliment me?
 * Echo: Yup.
 * Statyx: Whaddya know, miracles do happen. *spins Echo, then pulls her back*
 * Echo: Don't you dare drop me.
 * Statyx: *smiles* Now Echo, what reason would I have to drop you?
 * Echo: ...*blushes* Uh, Statyx...
 * Statyx: Don't worry, the routine is almost over. *pulls Echo back up as they continue dancing*
 * Echo: (Since when did Statyx learn how to dance? I always thought he'd be tripping all over his feet if he tried to dance classy... ...maybe I should start giving this dude his props.)
 * Statyx: Well Echo, you're a natural!
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Statyx: You're dancing perfectly, yet it seems like your mind is off somewhere else!
 * Echo: So what, we're done here?
 * Statyx: A few more steps, then it'll be over.
 * Echo: Oy, you said that 20 pages ago.
 * Statyx: Just be patient, will you?
 * Echo: No promises.
 * Statyx: Well, here we go! *spins Echo, pulls her back, and then dips her*
 * [The music ends, and the two look at each other, panting]
 * Echo: On second thought, drop me.
 * Statyx: Huh? Why?
 * Echo: Because we're finished.
 * Statyx: I know. *grins* But this is more fun.
 * Echo: *faintest blushing* What is?
 * Statyx: This. *suddenly brings Echo back up and sends her spinning*
 * So much for that StatEcho moment XD. Oh well. And no need for a rewind.
 * Echo: *stops spinning* That was only fun for one of us. *puts hands in pockets, heads for the door*
 * Statyx: And where do you think you're going?
 * Echo: To my date.
 * Statyx: Hold it Echo, there's one final step.
 * Echo: What's that?
 * [Statyx leads Echo to a Beauty Parlor]
 * Echo: You're killing me here.
 * Statyx: Hey, you want to look the part, don't you?
 * Echo: *growls* Fine. Let's go.
 * Statyx: What? I'm not going in there.
 * Echo: I'm not going in there alone!
 * Statyx: *smiles* Okay. *walks toward the entrance* Oh and Echo?
 * Echo: What?
 * Statyx: ECHO LOVES-
 * Echo: *blushing furiously, lunges at Statyx*
 * Statyx: *pushes the entrance open and trips Echo, causing her to faceplant in the Parlor*
 * Echo: *gets up* Grrrr!! *charges at Statyx*
 * Statyx: *closes the entrance*
 * Echo: *banging on the door*
 * Parlor Lady: *notices Echo* Oh! You must be my 4:30 appointment! *grabs Echo and drags her to a nearby chair*
 * Echo: *mouth something at Statyx*
 * Statyx: *chuckles* She makes it too easy.
 * Echo: So, do I get to choose my torture?
 * Parlor Lady: *laughs* No need. The reservation said that you needed a complete makeover for a date at a high-class resturant. *spots Statyx, who's waving a bit. Whispers to Echo* Is that the guy?
 * Echo: *blushing furiously*
 * I'm gonna leave Echo's response to you.
 * Echo: Absolutely NOT.
 * Parlor Lady: Well that deep red on your cheeks is sayin somethin else.
 * Echo: Can we get started?
 * Parlor Lady: *chuckles* Oh alright. Now, let's start by seeing what we can do with that hair.
 * Echo: Those are my quills.
 * Parlor Lady: Oh. Well then don't try and stick me while I clean 'em *adjusts Echo's seat, and starts cleaning her quills* [2 hours later]
 * Parlor Lady: There we go, darling! All done.
 * Echo: Thanks. I prefer not to look in the mirror, thank you. *walks out the door to Statyx* H-how do I look?
 * Statyx: *looks up at her* Gyah! *turns away, nosebleed*
 * Echo: That bad?
 * Statyx: Uhh, I wouldn't say "bad".
 * Echo: Then what would you say? Horrible? Disgusting?
 * Spike: *walks by, spots Echo, and wolf-whistles*
 * Statyx: Actually that sums it up pretty well.
 * Echo: Uh-huh. Hey, gimme your arm.
 * Statyx: If you need the time, that's all you have to say. *checks watch* Oh, man.
 * Echo: What?
 * Statyx: We gotta get you ready now, Echo! It's 6:30!
 * Echo: WHAT?!
 * Statyx: Geez, it took them 2 hours to clean you up!? *looks at Echo* Though I have to admit, the results are impressive.
 * Echo: Alright, what is so great about how I look!?
 * Statyx: Geez, just look at your reflection, and you'll find out.
 * Echo: I-I'd rather not...
 * Statyx: Why?
 * Echo: B-because, I never like what I see...
 * Statyx: *looks at Echo* Wait, Echo, do you have Catoptrophobia
 * Echo: What?
 * Statyx: A fear of mirrors.
 * Echo: W-we don't have time for this! Are you gonna help me get ready or what!?
 * Statyx: *sighs* Alright Echo, let's go.
 * Echo: About time.
 * [The two run towards Statyx's house]
 * Echo: Alright, where'd you put the dress?
 * Statyx: I thought you had it!
 * Echo: *grabs Statyx* Don't talk like that, man! I need that dress in 5 minutes or I'll be late! Echo the Hedgehog CANNOT BE LATE FOR ANYTHING!!
 * Statyx: *slaps* Feel better?
 * Echo: A little.
 * Statyx: Good enough. Come on, let's find that dress.
 * Echo: *reaches into Statyx's couch* I think I found it. *pulls out a dress* Wait a sec...
 * Statyx: *turns around, nosebleeds* Nyaah..!
 * Echo: Isn't this the dress you said showed too much skin--
 * Statyx: *swipes dress* You better hurry or you'll miss your date, Echo.
 * Echo: Oi Vey.
 * Statyx: Fou!! Where did you put Echo's dress!?
 * Fou: I put it in the closet!
 * Statyx: *facepalms* Did you clean your clothes?
 * Fou: Uhhhhhhhh....
 * Statyx: Great! Now we have to find a blue dress in a pile of blue vests!
 * Echo: Oh just perfect!!
 * [Statyx and Echo run towards the closet]
 * Echo: *swings open the door, nose wrinkles* Oh man! I've smelled a lot of bad stuff, but this is just plain poisonous!
 * Statyx: *gags* Just be glad we don't have to go into his bathroom!
 * Echo: Whatever! *jumps into the closet*
 * Statyx: There goes one brave hedgehog.
 * [A few moments later, Echo comes out of the closet, wearing the dress]
 * Statyx: *whistles* Doubt you'll hear any complaints from Sonic tonight.
 * Echo: *blushes slightly* Whatever. *turns around* Can you zip up the dress?
 * Statyx: *blushes, looks away* Why don't you do it yourself?
 * Echo: Can't reach, can't see.
 * Statyx: Alright, alright. *walks up and zips Echo's dress, trying to not look while blushing* Alright, there you go.
 * Echo: Thanks.
 * Statyx: Yeah, whatever. *checks watch* Uh...oh...
 * Echo: Don't tell me I'm late.
 * Statyx: ...okay, I won't. *brown blur*
 * Fou: Was she really late, Statyx?
 * Statyx: Naww, she's got 5 minutes to spare. Although, she may find it hard to run in high heels.
 * Echo: *running* Not as fast as usual, but I'll manage. *looks at card again* *spots resteraunt in the distance* Huh, knowing Molasses he'd probably pick somewhere far so we could enjoy the run.
 * Fou: Wow! So you taught her manners, beauty and dancing?
 * Statyx: Yup. And I must say, she picked it all up pretty fast.
 * Fou: Yeah. *gets up from couch* And with all that knowledge, what could possibly go wrong?
 * Statyx: ...*gets up, runs out the door*
 * Fou: Huh? Statyx, where are you going?
 * Statyx: Knowing Echo, all that can go wrong will only get WORSE!! *running*
 * Fou: Wait up! *flying after Statyx*
 * [Echo finally reaches the resturant entrance, where Sonic is waiting for her in a tux]
 * Echo: Well, you certainly clean up well, Mollasses.
 * Sonic: *looks at Echo, jaw drops* W-wow Echo! Y-you look, I mean, just... wow!
 * Echo: I'll take that as a compliment. But if you try anything, that tux'll be stuffed in a place you don't want it to be.
 * Sonic: *chuckles*
 * Echo: What's so funny?
 * Sonic: I'm just glad to see that your personality is still the same.
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Sonic: I mean, I'm glad you cleaned up for our date, but I don't expect you to pretend to be some high-class aristocrat.
 * Echo: *blushes* Well uhh, thanks...
 * Sonic: *holds out arm* Shall we?
 * Echo: .....*interlocks her arm with Sonic's* Let's.
 * Statyx: *panting* Dangit, where is that resteraunt?!
 * Fou: Didn't you say it was this way?
 * Statyx: Yeah, but I can't-- *crash*
 * Fou: We're here!
 * Statyx: Great...
 * Waiter: May I take your order?
 * Sonic: I'll have the Salad Maison, please.
 * Waiter: Ah, excellent choice. And the lady?
 * Echo: One of everything.
 * Waiter: One of every--*eyes come wide open*
 * Sonic: *stunned, drops his menu*
 * Waiter: Ah, um...if-if that is what you desire. *runs off*
 * Sonic: So, I take it you worked up an appetite?
 * Echo: Let me put it this way. I had to choose between not eating again until tonight, or having a nice, warm meal of liver, snails, and chicken with mold.
 * Sonic: ...I'm gonna hafta start taking you out more often...
 * Echo: Statyx laid that out for me. ...but I won't argue with you there.
 * Sonic: Yup, you're still Echo alright.
 * Echo: What, just because a gal decides to look reminiscent to a Barbie doll dosen't mean she can't eat--
 * Waiter: *comes back with a cart, the chef comes behind him with another cart*
 * Sonic: Your order's here.
 * Waiter & Chef: *bringing all the food onto the table* Enjoy your meal.
 * Sonic: Thanks! *tips waiter*
 * Echo: *about to take a leg of chicken* ...(mannners...etiquette...) *cuts a few slices of the chicken and puts them on her plate*
 * Sonic: Wow, Echo's using utensils. Whod've thought??
 * Echo: Ha-ha. Very funny.
 * Sonic: So, what did it cost you to get Statyx's help?
 * Echo: Uhh, who said I got help from Thunder-Dud?
 * Sonic: Please, who else would be able to help you, or would be willing to help you?
 * Echo: Well, if you must know, it didn't cost me a thing.
 * Sonic: Really?
 * Echo: Yeah. All I had to do was ask nicely.
 * Sonic: *spits out his water, coughing* S*cough*Sorry. I thought I just heard you say you asked Statyx nicely to help you.
 * Echo: I can be polite when I want to.
 * Sonic: I see. *smiles* Which points out you never wanna be polite. *chuckles*
 * Echo: ...
 * Sonic: ...uh, sorry.
 * Echo: Oh no no, don't apologize. It was funny...
 * Sonic: Then why aren't you laughing?
 * Echo: I can only be so much out of character.
 * Sonic: *laughter*
 * Statyx: *hiding under one of the carts* Phew. So far, everything's going great for her.
 * Fou: HI ECHO!
 * Statyx: *pulls him back under*
 * Echo: *anime vain*
 * Sonic: Did you hear something?
 * Echo: Nothing but your laughter. *takes a sip of her water, looks at the cart through the corner of her eye* *whispers something in her hand, drops a soundwave on the floor, it rolls under the cart*
 * Statyx: *covering Fou's mouth*
 * Fou: *gets free* Hey, what's that?
 * Statyx: Oh, no...
 * Echo's voice: "IF EITHER OF YOU TWO MESS UP MY DATE, YOU'LL WAKE UP TOMORROW IN A BOX GOING DOWN THE RIVER!!"
 * Fou: *gulps* She sounds serious.
 * Statyx: Well of course. She put a lot of effort into getting ready for this date; she doesn't want it all to go to waste.
 * Fou: Ohhhhhh... So how can I help?
 * Statyx: *facepalms*
 * Sonic: So Echo, tell me, where'er you from?
 * Echo: ...eh, just a little town.
 * Sonic: Wow, that's specific. Come on, Echo, we're on a date. We should get to know each other, especiall if we ever plan on going on another one-- ah, um...if-if that's okay with you.
 * Echo: Let's just see how this night goes before we think about another one.
 * Sonic: R-right. Heh. *adjusts tie, sweating a little*
 * Fou: *giggles*
 * Statyx: Shh.
 * Echo: (angesispointless, angerispointless, angerispointless, angerispointless, angerpointless)
 * Sonic: You alright, Echo?
 * Echo: Y-yes. Sorry, I spaced out for a bit.
 * Sonic: Okay...but if there's something you'd like to talk about, I'm right here.
 * Echo: I see you.
 * Sonic: No, I mean you can talk to me.
 * Echo: Ah, I know. ...and...thank you...
 * Sonic: *smiles, thumbs up* Don't mention it.
 * Echo: I won't mention it as long as you don't mention the date.
 * Sonic: Why?
 * Echo: Because I won't sleep well if I have a pink bezerker beating on my tree.
 * Sonic: Heheh, I second that emotion.
 * Fou: Echo and Sonic, sitting in a tree...
 * Statyx: FOU!!
 * Echo: I need to go powder my nose for a minute.
 * Sonic: Okay, then.
 * Echo: *gets up, starts dragging cart*
 * Sonic: Why are you taking the cart with you?
 * Echo: It's got food on it.
 * Sonic: Ahh. Carry on, then.
 * Echo: *brings cart into bathroom, takes off the tablecloth, revealing Statyx and Fou* What are you two doing here?
 * Fou: Statyx thought you'd mess up on your date so we followed you here!
 * Echo: Everything was going FINE until you two showed up!
 * Fou: Statyx said "what can go wrong will only get worse" and--
 * Statyx: *quickly covers Fou's mouth* Fou's such a kidder, ain't he? Always with the jokes and the funny haha and we'd better get going good luck on the date BYE! *heads for the door while dragging Fou*
 * Echo: You two can't leave here.
 * Statyx: Oh? Why's that?
 * Echo: This is the ladies room. And look, no windows
 * Statyx: Soooo, if we couldn't get out of here, what were you planning on doing?
 * Fou: *gulps* J-just remember, I-I'm only eight. I'm vulnerable to emotionally scarring.
 * Echo: You two stay in here, and I'll come back for you when the date is OVER.
 * Statyx: But what if someone sees us in here?!
 * Echo: Look at the bright side: when you're caught, you'll get kicked out of here. Perfect escape plan. *leaves*
 * Statyx: ECHO WAIT NO-AWW! SHE'S GONE!! This is what I get for trying to help a friend?
 * Fou: *covering his eyes*
 * Statyx: It's alright, Fou, we're alone in here.
 * Fou: I'm not taking any chances.
 * Statyx: Of course, she did forget about something.
 * Fou: What?
 * Statyx: Chaos Control. *Statyx and Fou disappear in a flash of blue light*
 * [Echo takes her seat back at the table]
 * Sonic: Alright Echo, what happened?
 * Echo: .....Whatever do you mean?
 * Sonic: Please Echo. I may not know your history, but I do know you.
 * Echo: *mumbles* And that's one of the things I like about you...
 * Sonic: What did you say?
 * Echo: *takes deep breath* I said- *suddenly feels a small zap in her seat, jumps up* OW!! What the heck!?
 * Sonic: What happened Echo? Are you alright?
 * Echo: It was only a small zap *"zap" rings in her head* But I suddenly have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
 * Sonic: Too much to eat?
 * Echo: *looks at Sonic*
 * Sonic: I know, silly question.
 * Echo: Would you excuse me for a moment?
 * Sonic: Second trip?
 * Echo: Yup.
 * Sonic: See what happens when you order one of everything on the menu? And leave me broke
 * Echo: *runs into the ladies room* Mental note: Next time you try to trap Statyx, make sure he can't use Chaos Control. Oh, Statyx. Come here, I need to have a word with you.
 * [A spark of electricity suddenly travels through the wall, then leaps out into the air, forming into Statyx.]
 * Statyx: Hyello.
 * Echo: *sighs* I'm gonna be straightforward with you, Statyx: What are you doing?
 * Statyx: Helping.
 * Echo: ...Wha?
 * Statyx: I'm just gonna guide you through this a bit.
 * Echo: I repeat: "Wha"?
 * Statyx: You have such trouble with awkward moments, so I'm gonna help you keep from getting into those moments in the first place.
 * Echo: Then what about that little zap back there?
 * Statyx: Payback.
 * Echo: Alright I have one more question before I get back to my date: Where is Fou?
 * Statyx: In the little boys' room.
 * Echo: Good. *leaves*
 * Statyx: ...I do this so often, I should start making her pay me. But I won't.
 * Echo: *sits back down* Okay, where were we?
 * Sonic: Echo, what's going on?
 * Echo: Uh...food poisoning.
 * Sonic: ...this is coming from the girl who once ate an alive gold beetle? *other people start to stare, and slowly start leaving*
 * Echo: Because everyone loves a good bug eating story.
 * Sonic: Oops.
 * Echo: It's alright.
 * Sonic: Okay. Sooooo, whaddya wanna talk about?
 * Echo: Dunno.
 * Sonic: Oh, okay... [awkward silence] [zzap]
 * Echo: *twitches, looks under the table at Statyx*
 * Statyx: Find something to talk about! Racing, jokes, something!
 * Echo: Uh...s-sure is quiet.
 * Sonic: Yeah...unlike our last date, though. The one at Texas Motor Speedway?
 * Echo: Yeah, that's right...
 * Sonic: ...which, now that I think about it, makes this our second date, not our first. Of course, you had asked me that time.
 * Echo: Eh, I had a little extra money on my hands.
 * Sonic: Guess you don't hate me so much after all, huh?
 * Echo: ...eh...*zap, twitch*
 * Sonic: You...sitting on a taser?
 * Echo: ...oh, yes I am.
 * Sonic: ...okay?
 * Oh come on, I was hoping he wouldn't find out this time!

Alright, alright, I'll get rid of it! Happy now?
 * Thank you. Just hopin that Sonic leaves the date thinking he was with only one person XD
 * Statyx: For pete's sake Echo, for once just be honest with Sonic and yourself!
 * Sonic: You're acting kinda strange, Echo.
 * Echo: And what else is new?
 * Sonic: Don't act cute.
 * Echo: Who's acting.
 * Sonic: I'm serious. Echo, please, just tell me what's wrong. I don't judge you, I promise.
 * Echo: Nothing is wrong.
 * Sonic: *stares*
 * Echo: ...but if there were, I suppose that... *blushing*
 * Sonic: Echo, please, you know I'm your friend. And if you don't trust me, just say so.
 * Echo: I do trust you. I just...
 * Sonic: You...feel uncomfortable?
 * Echo: No...I'm just...
 * Sonic: Nervous?
 * Echo: ...maybe.
 * Sonic: Hey, don't sweat it. To tell you the truth, I'm nervous, too. I had to choose between this place and a burger joint. I just chose this place, because...
 * Echo: All the burger joints were closed?
 * Sonic: No, Echo. Because...I thought you'd like it.
 * Echo: I really do. And I appreciate the trouble you went through for me. Thank you...
 * Sonic: Trouble?
 * Echo: ?
 * Sonic: Uh, YEAH! YEAH, trouble, that's it!!
 * Echo: *grabs his wrist, starts bending it* Statyx talked you into it, didn't he?
 * Sonic: Uh...! *sweat drop*
 * Statyx: Oh, no...
 * Echo: *anime vain* He made you take me out, didn't he?
 * Sonic: Well...uh...
 * Echo: And to think I was about to plant one on you. *gets up* Let me know how your dinner turns out. *walking away*
 * Sonic: Echo, wait!
 * Echo: For what? You to get more advice from Mr. Romance?
 * Sonic: *cuts Echo off* That's not the case Echo!
 * Echo: Then clarify it for me.
 * Sonic: You see, he didn't make me go out with you. He gave me the money I needed to make the reservations!
 * Echo: What?
 * Sonic: Yeah. Even then, he only let me have the money if I beat him in a race.
 * Echo: R-really?
 * Statyx: *snaps fingers* So that's why he needed the money so badly!
 * Sonic: Yeah. Even then, I had to make the reservations 3 weeks ago. Statyx didn't make me do anything!
 * Echo: ...*blushing* *toilet flushes, Echo's pupils shrink* Oh no...
 * Sonic: What?
 * Fou: *comes out of the bathroom* Ah, what a relief! Hey, are you guys fighting? I wanna help! *runs over to them*
 * Statyx: Dangit, Fou! I specifically told him to wait in the men's room!
 * Fou: So, what're you guys fighting about?
 * Echo: We're not fighting, Fou.
 * Sonic: What're you doing here anyway?
 * Statyx: Crud!
 * Echo: Oh no...
 * Fou: ....Echo asked me to come.
 * Echo & Sonic: Whaa??
 * Fou: Echo was nervous that she might mess up the date, so she came looking for Statyx, so he could give her advice 'bout the dos and don'ts of a date.
 * Statyx: Heck of a time for that phoenix wisdome to kick in.
 * Fou: But, Statyx was busy, so Echo was forced to settle for me. I flew in through the skylight *points up to the glass roof* And hid in the bathroom before you guys got here. I gave Echo her advice through morse code, which she picked up in the Girl's room with her sonokinetic powers.
 * Echo: *smirks the slightest* Of all the times to be a genius, you pick now. Thank you, Fou...
 * Fou: However, it seems like you guys don't need me, so I'll just go. Have fun! *walks out the entrance*
 * Echo: *relieved sigh*
 * Sonic: *looks at her*
 * Echo: *blushes, looks the other way* Uh...why don't we finish our dinner date?
 * Sonic: Only if you promise not to just to conclusions this time.
 * Echo: Uh-huh.
 * [Sonic and Echo sit back down]
 * Statyx: Psst!
 * Echo: Hm?
 * Statyx: You owe Fou big-time!
 * Echo: *kicks Statyx* [a few hours later]
 * Sonic and Echo: *leaving resteraunt*
 * Echo: Well, that was fun.
 * Sonic: Yeah. ...Hey, Echo...
 * Echo: Yes...?
 * Sonic: There's something I wanna give you...
 * Echo: Aaand just what would that be?
 * Sonic: ...uh... *blushing hard* ...
 * Echo: ...(what could he be thinking?)
 * Sonic: *comes closer* *gives Echo a kiss on the lips*
 * Echo: ...*blushes, freezes up*
 * Sonic: Well uhh, see ya Echo! *runs off*
 * Statyx: Aah, my work here is done. *comes out from under the table, the lights go off, jingling keys are heard* What the?! AW, MAN!!
 * ......Do I even have to say it? XD
 * If I had to guess what you were saying, it'd be

Seriously, it's gotten a tad hard to tell ._.
 * The end
 * Chaos Control
 * I had something for that part I wanted to add, but Shelly ended it too soon
 * Sorry, it's choice 3. It's actually fairly similiar to what you put, though it also had a comedic accidental StatEcho moment (think one of the earliest episodes of Naruto). Sorry -_-

...um, ahem. You're not talking about Naruto and Sasuke's kiss, are you...?
 * Actually, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Should I explain?

._.| Might as well.
 * Well, after the date, Sonic kisses Echo (on the lips), and leaves. Echo just stands there still as a statue, and Statyx checks to see if she's alright. She ends up falling over, and Statyx tries to wake her up. Echo ends up jolting awake, and well... you get the idea ^_^ Anyway, after that happens, the two don't look at each other, and agree never to speak of it to anyone ever again. How's that?

Actually, I don't get the idea.
 * What do you mean?

You asked "well...you get the idea ^_^" But quite frankly...I dont '_'
 * They end up accidentally laying a big wet one on each other XD

... I guess I did get it...
 * Something wrong Shelly?

No, I just didn't realize how much you became a fan of StatEcho XD Good thing it's non-canon.
 * Well, I don't plan on anything deffinate (especially since she's your character, so it's also 50% your choice as well), but I like toying with the prospect ^_^. Oh, and why is it a good thing that StatEcho isn't canon?

No, I wasn't referring to the pairing; I was referring to the roleplay. I dunno if StatEcho is canon because of StatAze
 * Well, that's one of the reasons I haven't planned on anything deffinate. If Statyx were a free bird, I'd be all for it. However, he is not, and I'd have to do some major revamping to make the change. I'm almost tempted to offer two different Statyx pairings; one with Echo and the other with Blaze. Some works would show or support one, and other works would do the same with another pairing. However, I'm not too sure about that idea...

That makes two of us. What with both Statyx and Echo both being in love with someone else. I have only one idea of how that could happen (though there's only a 50-50 possibility of that happenin')
 * And what would that idea be?
 * Okay, it takes place after the events of Equalized.   IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF     Sonic and Amy became and ii--..ii...ttem.... *gulps, shudders* and Echo would have mysteriously reappeared. Meanwhile, Statyx and Blaze have a fight, leaving their relationship hanging by a thread. Afterwards, Statyx finds Echo alive and tells her about the newly formed SonAmy. Echo's heart breaks, and Statyx comforts her. That's pretty much all that comes to mind, but frankly I'd like to just throw the idea in the recycle bin on my comp. XP
 * XD Yeah, I'm perfectly aware of how you feel about SonAmy. Truth be told, I thought your idea had something to do with Sonaze.

I figured you'd say something like that. Seriously though, I don't know what's going to happen to Echo after Equalized. If she lives, if she dies, if she becomes Sonic's echo (BWAGAHA!) It's an equinox...
 * Plot development issues; I can understand that. I'm having the same trouble with Metal Fury, which is why I post-poned it until I can straighten out a plot. Of course, with the week off I hope to get off, and 2/3 of my to-do list completed, perhaps I should get back on that... Anyway, rather than make our brains explode with plot troubles, I suggest we get back to the roleplay. Agreed?
 * ...I thought it'd finished XD But you're right, let's do the "accidental lip-lock" scene.
 * Statyx: Chaos Control! *teleports outside* I'm getting locked up a lot. *notices Echo* Soooo, how was it?
 * Echo: *thousand-yard stare*
 * Statyx: ...Echo? *waves his hand in her face, she remains idle* Yoo-hoo, rise and shine! I wonder what happened...*ding, smirks* Lemme guess...he kissed you?
 * Echo: *still paralyzed*
 * Statyx: Hmmm... *puts his face inches from hers, and blows, knocking Echo over* Ha-ha! I don't believe it! I'm a better romantic than I thought! A kiss on the first date; that's a new record! *looks at Echo* Well, better wake up sleeping beauty. *kneels down and shakes her lightly* Hey Echo, wake up.
 * Echo: *still knocked out*
 * Statyx: C'mon Echo, wake up! Your dream-date's over, so it's time to get back to reality.
 * Echo: .....
 * Statyx: *sighs* ECHO!!
 * Echo: I'm-
 * [Echo jolts up, and accidentally kisses Statyx on the lips. The two stay frozen in shock for a few moments, then break the kiss and turn away from each other, coughing, gagging, and blushing]
 * Statyx: .....We will never speak of this...
 * Echo: ...To absolutely anyone...
 * Statyx & Echo: EVER!!
 * [After a while, the two regain their composure, and get up]
 * Statyx: *ahem* Well, it's gotten pretty late.
 * Echo: Yeah.
 * Statyx: Well, all your stuff is back at my house. You know, I have a spare bed...
 * Echo: *looks at Statyx*
 * Statyx: ...In a seperate room! So, how's bout it? I doubt you've slept in a real bed for a long time. And it would be preferable then sleeping as you are right now.
 * Echo: You mean among the comfy garbage bags? Eh, I got nothin' better to do. *walking off*
 * Statyx: Echo.
 * Echo: Hmm?
 * Statyx: My house is that way *points in opposite direction*
 * Echo: I knew that. I just dropped my purse.
 * Statyx: You didn't come here with a purse.
 * Echo: *grabs Statyx by the ear* Coooooooome on. *dragging him off*
 * Statyx: Owowowowowowow!! Geez, after all I've done for ya, would it kill you to show me some respect?
 * Echo: Yes. *pulls harder*
 * Statyx: OW!!
 * Echo: (Actually, I owe a lot to Statyx for tonight. I suppose he's not all bad...)
 * Statyx: ECHO LIKES SO--
 * Echo: *blasting at him while he runs away, laughing* GET BACK HERE, HEDGEHOG! HEY! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD it is to run in high heels?!
 * Statyx: *turns around and looks at Echo* Yeah, I have an idea of it actually! But hey, if you aren't gonna show me any respect, then I'm gonna make you work for that bed! Beat me to the house, and it's all yours! Otherwise, I get to choose whether or not you get that bed!
 * Echo: *kicks off heels* Fine, I'm gonna be sleepin' like a queen, then! *catches up to Statyx*
 * Statyx: *sees Echo catching up* Oh boy. Better kick it up a notch! *hits full speed, causing a sonic boom*
 * Echo: Show off. *spindashes, brown blur*
 * Statyx: *looks back at Echo* She really wants that bed. Looks like I'll have to go all out! *spindashes*
 * Echo: *wall jumps through an alley, jumping off rooftops*
 * Statyx: You ain't gonna win that easy Echo! *jumps through manhole and into sewer, making sure to avoid the muck*
 * Echo: The sewers? I think that dude needs a map.
 * Maybe Echo should think about this: No obstacles in sewers, meaning a straight shot to the house. Plus, what are most sewers made of?
 * ...oh no Echo's in trouble XD
 * Echo: Sweet dreams, here I come.
 * [Meanwhile, Statyx is hover-skating right through the sewers with no trouble at all]
 * Statyx: Heh, sorry Echo, but you ain't winning this round!
 * Echo: *a few feet away from the house* Why just walk in through the door, when I can make an entrance? *homing attacks her way in through the chimney, falls into the living room coughing, covered in soot*
 * Statyx: *sitting in an easy chair* *tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk* Do you know how long I have been waiting, Echo?
 * Echo: You got lucky today.
 * Statyx: Yup. *gets up* Well, c'mon.
 * Echo: Wha?
 * Statyx: You'll need to know where everything is if you're staying the night.
 * Echo: But you said that you won-
 * Statyx: "I get to choose whether or not you get that bed". I know what I said. Now, do you want the tour or what?
 * Echo: ...alright then.
 * Statyx: Great! *the two begin touring through the house* You already know where the kitchen is, so we can skip that.
 * Echo: Aww.
 * Statyx: Well, you ate all my food already anyways. And even though all my groceries get delivered, that's not until tomorrow.
 * Echo: *about to speak*
 * Statyx: Yes, I have enough money to just sit around and let my food come to me.
 * Echo: ...continue.
 * [Statyx and Echo walk through a fairly large living room, to a nearby door. Statyx opens the door, revealing a bathroom that actually has several stalls in it]
 * Statyx: And here is the bathroom. Well, the 1st floor one, anyway.
 * Echo: Huh. I guess with a house this big, there's no need to rent out Austrailia.
 * Statyx: Ha-ha, very funny. I occasionally have guests over, so I figured it would be conveniant to have multiple toilets.
 * Echo: I suppose next you're going to tell me you have a backyard bigger than the local park?
 * Statyx: Nope. We're focusing on the inside right now. *starts walking up staircase* C'mon, I'll show you the bedrooms.
 * Echo: 'Bout time.
 * Statyx: *turns around, looks at her*
 * Echo: ...thank you, Statyx.
 * Statyx: That's better. You were this close to being out on your ear. *walking upstairs*
 * Echo: *follows, mimicing him*
 * Statyx: I saw that.
 * Echo: *blushes*
 * Statyx: *opens door, showing a bedroom with wo beds. One is normal, but the other is noticeably childish* Well, here's my and Fou's room.
 * Echo: Finally, a normal-sized room.
 * Statyx: Shh!
 * Echo: What?
 * Statyx: *points, showing Fou fast asleep in his bed*
 * Echo: Oh. Sorry.
 * Statyx: It's alright. Just keep it down. *slowly and quietly closes door*
 * [Statyx and Echo walk down a hallway. Echo notices a locked door, and walks toward it]
 * Echo: Hey, what's that?
 * Statyx: *rushes between Echo and the door* NO! You do not wanna go in there!
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: That's Fou's bathroom!
 * Echo: ...*slowly backs away from the door* Moving on...
 * Statyx: Yeah. *walks towards another door, and opens it, revealing a large bed, nightstand, and a TV* Here's your guest room.
 * Echo: *walks in* It's pretty plain, compared to the other rooms.
 * Statyx: *shrugs* Everyone has their own tastes, so I try to keep them from being too personalized. Hope that won't be an issue.
 * Echo: You kidding? I never imagined such a room.
 * Statyx: Huh? Whaddya mean?
 * Echo: I can't hear you. I'm sleeping* throws herself on the bed, immediately starts snoring*
 * Statyx: *smirks, then uses electrokinesis to pull a sheet over Echo, and closes the door* Sleep well, Echo.
 * Dark Figure: *sitting on the roof, watching Echo from the window* Yes, sleep well while you can... *disappears*
 * To be continued...
 * That RP got off-topic fast. Anyways, what do you think of the climax?
 * Yeah, maybe so. Anyway, the climax is pretty good. Now if this is over, what RP should we do next? Should we do the "Echo makes a mistake and has to fix it" RP, or the "StatEcho" RP?
 * Eh, they're both good ideas. I can't choose...
 * Don't tell me I have to choose.
 * Okay okay, I won't tell you then. ...seriously though which one?
 *  * tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...*

Sweet flabbit, Kagimizu!!! Okay, FORGET IT! We're doing StatEcho!!!! Cheese and rice...*squeezing a squeaky toy to vent her irritation*
 *  * ding!* Wait! I got it! Young Love, Big Trouble! I'll go add to it right now! *zooms off*
 * Oh my gawd, are you awake? Since when did we start talking about something you haven't added to in more than a week?! What the flipping heck happened to StatEcho?!
 * Well usually you give me the kick in the butt I need to get back on it. Seems like someone's getting soft.
 * Soft as a rock!! *whips out purse* Can we get started already?!?!
 * Okay! Okay! Geez, someone needs a chill-pill.

(Hedgehog) Blood is thicker than water

 * While at the town buffet, Sonic and Echo get into an argument and their friendship breaks apart. Can Blaze, of all the people, see it through that the two make up?


 * Echo: *plays Greensleeves on her flute*
 * Statyx: Yo, Echo!
 * Echo: *ignoring him*
 * Statyx: *walks up to the tree, kicks it*
 * Echo: *plays Neener Neener Neener on flute to taunt him*
 * Statyx: *electrifies the branch, Echo falls out and lands on her head*
 * Echo: UGH!!! Did I ever tell you I hated you?
 * Statyx: Several times. Anyways, I've got good news?
 * Echo: *gets up* You have two days to live?
 * Uhhhhh.... what is the good news? I got nothin.
 * Shoot. I was counting on you to make somethin' up. :P Ah, well.
 * Statyx: Ouch. And no. Take a look at this! *shows Echo a flyer*
 * Echo: *takes flyer* "Help wanted - musicians to perform at Town Square's All-You-Can-Eat buffet".
 * Statyx: Yeah, so I figured that we could combine your flute with my trumpet and--*Echo disappeared*
 * Statyx: ...Too easy. *races after her, they reach Town Square*
 * Echo: *looking around*
 * Statyx: Lots of people here, huh?
 * Echo: Forget the people, I'm looking for the snack table.
 * Statyx: Sheesh, it's hard to be enthusiastic about the same thing when your partner has 4 stomachs.
 * ???: Yeah, each with a name: Hunger, Appetite, Famine, and Starving.
 * Echo: Hey, who asked you-- *turns around, sees Sonic* Huh, figures.
 * Statyx: Yeah, who other than Sonic -- and me -- to point out your hunger issues?
 * Echo: Who's Sonic? I was talking about the Boston Molasses Disaster here.
 * Hey Shelly, I just thought of what could be the catalyst for Echo's feelings for Statyx. She and Sonic have a huge fight, and Echo ends up feeling really hurt. Because of that, she goes to the one other person she could let her feelings out to: Statyx. Didn't you pitch that same idea?
 * ...uh...YEAH! SURE! EHEHHE....Sure I did.
 * Sonic: Uh, I think that food's gone to your head.
 * Echo: I haven't even eaten anything *thumbs over to Statyx* Ask Sparky, he's a wit--*turns around and sees he disappeared*...ness?
 * Sonic: So much for witnesses.
 * Echo: Whaaatever. *stuffs a few shrimp into her mouth*
 * Sonic: Echo, that food's only for the musicians.
 * Echo: I am one.
 * Sonic: No, I mean the people hired to play here.
 * Echo: Why do you think I'm here?
 * Sonic: Statyx dragged you here?
 * Echo: ...that too *choking*
 * Sonic: Whoaa! *Heimlich maneuvre*
 * Echo: *spits out the fish in a punch bowl* *panting* Ugh...no more shrimp today.
 * Sonic: Uh, you're welcome?
 * Echo: I'm welcome what?
 * Sonic: It'd be nice if you were a bit more thankful once in awhile.
 * Echo: It'd be nice if you weren't slower than a turtle with a limp.
 * Sonic: You know, I'm gettin' real tired of you always insulting my speed. I'm the fastest thing alive.
 * Echo: Suuure.
 * Sonic: Hey, it's true! Shadow, Statyx; heck, you've never even beaten me!
 * Echo: No, but I've tied with you. The only reason you're so fast is because you take shortcuts.
 * Sonic: SHORTCUTS?! I'm not cheater! You, on the other hand...
 * Echo: What makes you think I'm a cheater?! *a crowd gathers*
 * Sonic: Gee, I dunno! It's so hard to tell with you insulting me all the time!
 * Echo: Maybe I wouldn't insult you if--
 * Sonic: If WHAT?!
 * Echo: If...if...if I hadn't met you in the first place!
 * Sonic: Yeah?! Well, I just happened to be UNlucky enough to meet the meanest, cockiest, greediest person of all time!
 * Echo: If that's how you feel, then FINE! Don't ever speak to me again!
 * Sonic: FINE!
 * Echo: FINE! *runs away*
 * Statyx: *under a table* (Man, I thought giving them some alone time would help them get closer. Instead, the exact opposite happened!) *comes out* Echo, wait up! *runs after her*
 * Sonic: ...
 * Statyx: *eventually slows down to a stop, and looks around* Dangit, where did she go? *keeps looking around, but can't see Echo* Well, I guess it would be best if I gave her some space... *heads back to his house*
 * Echo: *sitting in a tree* "I didn't know you were a musician." Yeah, right. After all the times you've heard me play this thing? *holds flute in her hand* play "The Vth Vanguard"
 * Statyx: *gets home*
 * Fou: Hey Statyx! Why do you look so sad?
 * Statyx: Well, let's just say that bad luck trumped romanticism today.
 * Fou: Oh, failed attempt at bringing Sonic and Echo closer together?
 * Statyx: Bingo.

''So... now what? How do we get Echo to Statyx's house? Do you think the recent events could just now really hit her?''
 * Knowing Echo, going to Statyx for advice is the last thing she'd do. All the other times she got it was just fate.
 * Echo: ...now what? *stomach growls* I miss that shrimp already. *jumps down from tree* Might as well go over to Sparky's. He's got enough food for an army. *runs to Statyx's place* *ding dong*
 * Fou: I'll get it! *opens door to Echo* Hi, Echo!
 * Echo: Hey, Fou. Can I come in?
 * Fou: One sec. Statyx, Echo's here!
 * Statyx: *runs down the stairs* Hey, Echo! Come on in.
 * Echo: Thanks...
 * D'oh! Not what I had in mind -_- Of course, I must admit it would be fairly out of character.
 * Statyx: Hungry?
 * Echo: Very.
 * Statyx: Well, we're just about to have dinner.
 * Fou: And Statyx prepared an extra meal because he knew you were coming over.
 * Statyx: And I was right.
 * Echo: Thanks, Statyx...
 * Statyx: *puts his hand on her shoulder* Look, Echo, I know what happened between you and Sonic before...
 * Echo: Yeah, I saw you duck under the table.
 * Statyx: Well, you see, I was just trying to give you two some alone time. I didn't expect you two to...
 * Fou: Stop loving each other?
 * Statyx: Fou, why don't you go meet Blaze in the dining room?
 * Fou: Okay! *runs into the dining room*
 * Statyx: *sighs* Anyways, Echo...
 * Echo: I'm hungry. *walking into the dining room*
 * Statyx: But Ec--ah, forget it. *follows*
 * Fou: *jumps into a chair* So, we gonna eat?
 * Blaze: Yes, we a-
 * [Echo walks into the room, and sees Blaze. Blaze sees Echo as well, and the two look at each other calmy but seriously]
 * Statyx: *walks in* Okay, who's ready for- *sees Echo and Blaze staring at each other* Oh boy... W-well, I see you two have met.
 * Blaze: *calmly, but coldly* Yes, we have.
 * Statyx: Y-you know, I don't think you two have ever been properly introduced.
 * Echo: *calmly, but coldly* No, we haven't.
 * Statyx: Blaze, this is Echo. Echo, this is my girlfriend, Blaze.
 * Both: Nice to meet you.
 * Statyx: ...*pulls up a chair* Echo, why don't you have a seat?
 * Echo: *sits down* Thank you.
 * Statyx: *sits down in a chair next to Blaze* Okay, let's eat!
 * [All four eat in an awkward silence. Statyx keeps glancing at Echo and Blaze worriedly]
 * Blaze: So, Echo, is it?
 * Echo: Yeah.
 * Blaze: So Echo, where exacty are you from?
 * Echo: Erm...I haven't been there in so long I've forgotten.
 * Blaze: Certainy, no one can forget the place they call home.
 * Echo: Sometimes I wish I could forget alltogether...
 * Blaze: What was that?
 * Echo: So, what's for dessert?
 * Statyx: *quickly finishes eating, and begins getting up* I'll get it.
 * Blaze: *before Statyx can go* So, how exactly did you two meet?
 * Both: Uh...
 * Statyx: I think it was...
 * Echo: We were...
 * Blaze: You don't remember?
 * Statyx: Not quite...
 * Echo: Blank.
 * ....You know that at some point we are gonna have to cover this. You got any ideas? They don't have to be specific.
 * Blaze: Hm, well that's interesting, that two people who seem so close can't remember how they met.
 * Yeah, that's true. I haven't got a clue. The only reason those two met was because Sunny brought up Echo's voice actress.
 * Echo: We're about as closer as two people in different countries.
 * Statyx: (sarcastically) Yeah, because two people as closer as that wouldn't have the other person over for dinner.
 * Echo: *gives him a cross stare*
 * Statyx: ...I'll go get that dessert.
 * Echo: Hurrah, for once he does the smart thing.
 * Blaze: *clenches her fists a little bit, but maintains a dignified tone* I would appreciate it if you didn't talk about my boyfriend that way.
 * ......*starts laughing* I just realised something! Just like you and me, Statyx and Echo met over a single comment! XD
 * Oh yeah! That's right! And that's when we started RPing together all the time!
 * Echo: And I'd appreciate it if Thunder-Dud would hurry up with the chowder.
 * Statyx: *runs back in with chocolate cake* Okay, who's hungr--*slips and falls, cake goes flying*
 * Echo: *jumps in the air, catches the cake*
 * Blaze and Fou: *run over to Statyx*
 * Blaze: Are you okay?
 * Echo: The cake's okay!
 * Blaze: Not you!!
 * Yeah! And I gotta say, I don't regret it!
 * Statyx: *gets up* Yeah, I'm okay.
 * Blaze: *looking Statyx over* Are you sure?
 * Statyx: I'm fine, I'm fine.
 * Echo: *face covered in chocolate* *burp* Great to have me over, love to do it again another time. *runs out the door*
 * Blaze: *about to set on fire from seething anger*
 * Statyx: Now now, Blaze, sweetie. There's no need to get angry. Echo does that kinda stuff all the time, but she just dosen't know any better.
 * Blaze: A 15-year-old girl dosen't know any better?!
 * Fou: Aww, I wanted dessert!
 * Statyx: Don't worry guys, I thought Echo might do something like that. *walks back into the kitchen, brings back another chocolate cake* Which is why I baked a spare.
 * Fou: Yay!! *about to run towards Statyx*
 * Statyx: Ah-bup-bup! Hold it.
 * Fou: Huh, why?
 * Statyx: 3, 2, 1. *steps back just as a brown blur blasts towards him, which then runss into a different room. A loud crash is heard* Too. Easy.
 * Fou: *falls to florr laughing* Echo goes crash!!
 * Echo: I hate you!
 * Statyx: You realize "hate" means "love" with you, right?
 * Echo: ...I love you!
 * Statyx: *chuckles*
 * Fou: *still laughing*
 * Blaze: *crosses arms angrily* Hmph!
 * Echo: *limping out the door* I give up. See ya whenever.
 * Blaze: Don't let the door hit you in your mouth on the way out.
 * Echo: Where's a ball of yarn when you need one? *slams door*
 * Statyx: Ouch.
 * Fou: Seems like she's really hurting.
 * Blaze: I doubt a simple crash could penetrate that thick head.
 * Statyx: Normally, Blaze, I'd say you pegged her. But the truth is, she eating to fill the emptiness.
 * Blaze: What?
 * Statyx: She and her crush just had a big fight.
 * Blaze: I'm not surprised.
 * Statyx: Geez Blaze, you're acting really bitter.
 * Hey, a thought just crossed me. I pretty much jacked this up too much for Echo to fall for Statyx, so let's transition it to the one where Statyx (and/or possibly, Blaze) help repair her friendship with Sonic.
 * Echo: *sitting on Statyx's roof* ... ("I just happened to be UNlucky enough to meet the meanest, cockiest, greediest person of all time!") ...I guess he never cared after all...
 * Are you actually admitting that you made a mistake? Anyway, let's just have this one be an "in-between" roleplay. We can use those ideas later.
 * You're crusin' for a pursin', boy!
 * Echo: *wipes a tear away, looks up at the sky*
 * Blaze: Let me guess: Little Miss Hunger forgot how to run, next.
 * Echo: *stands up* If you want me to leave so badly, I'm happy to oblige.
 * Blaze: *grabs her arm before she can leave* It's alright. Statyx told me about your fight with a close friend.
 * Echo: ...and you came to rub it in my face?
 * Blaze: No, I didn't...
 * Echo: ...then...what?
 * Blaze: ...*redundantly hugs Echo*
 * Echo: ...are you trying to comfort me?
 * Blaze: Mm-hmm...
 * Echo: Thank you...you can stop now.
 * Blaze: *gets off* Okay, good. So, this friend...what was his name?
 * Echo: ...no one's business.
 * Sorry. Just being honest.
 * Blaze: *smiles*
 * Echo: What are you up to?
 * Blaze: Fou!!
 * Echo: *pupils shrink*
 * Fou: It's Sonic!
 * Echo: ...alright, you win. It's him.
 * Blaze: I figured.
 * Echo: What of it?
 * Blaze: *looks around, then whispers* I'm going to help you.
 * Echo: ...why?
 * Blaze: Do I need a reason?
 * Echo: ...okay, next question: what's in it for you?
 * Blaze: Nothing at all. I know what it's like to feel like the one you care for dosen't reciprocrate the feelings.
 * Statyx: I was traumatized!
 * Blaze: I know, honey! So, how about we go find Sonic, and talk to him?
 * Echo: I get to hide in a tree?
 * Blaze: No.
 * Echo: Deal. *both hop down from the roof* Oh, but before we go. Hey, Fou! Remember the Christmas party?!
 * Fou: MALE PHOENIXES DON'T LAY EGGS!!!
 * Echo: Just checking!
 * Blaze: You know, it's not a good idea to provoke him.
 * Echo: Why's that?
 * Blaze: Because he has enough fire-power to burn the continent to cinders in a matter of hours.
 * Echo: ..........I'll believe it when I see it. [meanwhile]
 * Sonic: *leaning against a tree, watching the sunset* ...hey, it just hit me! *looking around the forest* This is the same forest where Echo likes to hand out. Echo? You here? ...I don't blame for ignoring me!
 * Blaze and Echo: *walking, hear Sonic yelling*
 * Echo: ...am I the only one who hears a moronic yelling?
 * Oh and Shelly, don't you think we should change the name and description of this RP?
 * Blaze: Sounds more like someone who wants to apologize to his friend.
 * Done and done! :)
 * Echo: I ain't forgivin' that sorry-tailed--
 * Sonic: Echo!
 * Echo: --hedgehog.
 * Sonic: Uhh, hey Echo.
 * Echo: Sonic.
 * Sonic: *winces a bit*
 * Blaze: What's wrong?
 * Sonic: The only time she uses my actual name is when she's really mad at me.
 * Blaze: Well, if she never calls you by your real name, what does she call you?
 * Echo: *walking off* I don't seem to recall.
 * Sonic: "Molasses".
 * Blaze: Oh...
 * Sonic: ...because she thinks she's faster than me.
 * Echo: *lay in a tree*
 * Blaze: Well, I can see why she would think that. You're not as fast as you used to be. Or at least, not as fast as you think.
 * Echo & Sonic: WHAAT!?!?
 * Echo: *falls out of the tree, bounces off her back and lands on her feet* What are you getting at?!
 * Blaze: I'm just saying that Sonic isn't as fast as he thinks he is.
 * Echo: That's nuts!! Sonic's the fastest thing alive!! Saying he's slow is like saying the Sahara Desert is cold!!
 * Sonic: *looks at Echo* Echo...
 * Echo: *looks at Sonic, and blushes*
 * Blaze: I think I'll leave you two alone. *walks off* You were right Statyx. Worked like a charm.
 * Echo: ...I hate it when people do that.
 * Sonic: So, uh, Echo...
 * Echo: Yeah yeah, I accept your apology.
 * She barely knows Blaze, right Shelly?
 * Sonic: Whew! Alright then. But you have to admit, you can be a little.... what's the word?
 * Yeah, she just usually says that kind of thing about Statyx, but Statyx is absent at the moment.
 * Echo: Hungry? Starving? Famished?
 * Sonic: Not quite. I guess the word would be... "rough".
 * Echo: Oh. Well, I thought big, bad, blue boy would be able to handle a little roughhousing.
 * Sonic: Hey, bleieve me, I'm able to. It would just be nice to get a reminder that you have a heart.
 * Echo: A heart locked up for ages, with a rusty lock and a hidden key.
 * Sonic: Huh...?
 * Echo: Ah, nothing.
 * Sonic: Well, it wouldn't hurt to show your softer side every once in a while. I'm not saying you have to go soft on us or anything.
 * Echo: You don't have to worry about that happening.
 * Sonic: What, you going soft, or you showing your more sensitive side?
 * Echo: Does this answer your question? *gives him a kiss on a cheek*
 * Sonic: *blushing furiously* Ah, ermm, uhm...
 * Echo: *punches him in the gut*
 * Sonic: *grunts loud* No ThAt DOES noot...
 * Echo: Good. *walks off*
 * Sonic: Man, sometimes I just don't see why I might actually like her...
 * Uh, I think we've pretty much finished here. XD Ready to move on?
 * Well, okay.

Love Triangle

 * Echo, after a brief encounter with Statyx, suddenly realizes she has certain feelings for both him AND Sonic. How long will she be able to hide her feelings? (coming later)


 * Echo: *watching the sunset* 3, 2, 1...
 * Statyx: *walks by* Hey, Echo, what's new?
 * Echo: Right on time.
 * Statyx: For what?
 * Echo: I just counted down how long until I'd run into you. Funny, isn't it.
 * Statyx: ...Echo, the only reason I come by here every evening is because this is the path I take to my house.
 * Echo: House? Try castle.
 * Statyx: *shrugs* What can I say? My job has some perks.
 * Echo: Right. Hey, watch this. 3, 2, *runs next to Statyx* 1. *blue blur nearly runs them over*
 * Statyx: Impressive.
 * Echo: Good. Now, stand over there.
 * Statyx: What, here? *Amy runs over Statyx*
 * Amy: SOONIIIC!!
 * Statyx: *sits up* I hate you.
 * Echo: Get in line. *jumps into a tree branch*
 * Statyx: Hey! That's my line! *gets run over by a blue blur* *quickly crawling away*
 * Amy: *runs past* SOOONIIIC!!
 * Echo: This is better than cable.
 * Statyx: Maybe so, but there's something else that's even better.
 * Echo: What's that?
 * Statyx: The result when someone puts you with Sonic in even the slightest romantic situation.
 * Echo: That's not true at all.
 * Sonic: *jumps in the tree*
 * Echo: Hey, Mola--
 * Sonic: *covers her mouth* Shh, shh shh shh.
 * Amy: *looking around*
 * Statyx: *trying to slink away*
 * Amy: STATYX!
 * Statyx: Y-yeah?
 * Amy: Which way did Sonic go?
 * Staty: Sonic? I, uh...I'm not sure.
 * Amy: You know something, all right! *picks up her hammer*
 * Statyx: ...is that a new hammer?
 * Amy: Oh, you noticed? Now, TALK!
 * Statyx: He, uh...
 * Echo: *kicks Sonic out of the tree, he lands with a thud*
 * Sonic: TRAITOR!! *running from Amy*
 * Echo: Reminds me of the day I met him.
 * Statyx: I thought the day you met him was when he accidentally knocked your flute out of your hands?
 * Echo: ...that may have been before or after this incident.
 * Statyx: Well uhhh, okay then.
 * [The two then stand there for a while in awkward silence.]
 * Statyx: Well, I guess I'll see you around.
 * Okay, this is going nowhere fast. We need to think of something.
 * Echo: Statyx, hold up.
 * Statyx: What? *gets run over by blurry Sonic and angry Amy*
 * Echo: If I could, I would cackle.
 * Statyx: *walks off, mumbling to himself* *crack*
 * Both: Hmm? *tree starts to tip over*
 * Echo: Timber!!
 * Statyx: *jumps into the tree, scoops up Echo and jumps out* *tree lands witha thud*
 * Statyx: Whew! Close one.
 * Echo: ...y-yeah...
 * Statyx: *chuckles* Looks like you owe me one.
 * Echo: W-whatever! Uhh, Statyx?
 * Statyx: What? *realizes he's still holding Echo* Oh! Eheh, sorry. *puts Echo down*
 * Echo: *dusts herself off*
 * Statyx: Uh, aren't there two words you're looking for?
 * Echo: Ugh, yeah. Blue blur at 9 o'clock.
 * Statyx: *takes a dive, covers his head*
 * Echo: Not.
 * Statyx: *gets up* Ha-ha. You're a regular comedian. Anyway, you're welcome for me saving your life.
 * Echo: Don't expect me to say "I owe you one".
 * Statyx: You just did.
 * Echo: ...later. *about to walk off*
 * Statyx: And also, you already owe me for everything I've done for you.
 * Echo: Like what?
 * Statyx: ...are you serious?
 * Echo: As serious as a shark attack.
 * Statyx: The support on your date with Sonic, the invitation Solar Isle, the many times I've protected you from Wolfe and Valdez?
 * Echo: ...is there anything else I should remember?
 * Statyx: I'm about as nice to you is Sonic is! Sometimes I'm even nicer! I let you sit down to a nice, home-cooked feast with me one time! You don't even know where Sonic lives!
 * Echo: I don't need to know. He's a nomad, so am I.
 * Statyx: Ah forget it. Sometimes I don't know why I help you out.
 * Echo: There'er times that I've helped you out.
 * Statyx: Oh, really? When?
 * Echo: I always clear your plate for you so you don't have to.
 * Statyx: ...WHAT?
 * Echo: It's called cleaning.
 * Statyx: That's the only thing you can clean!
 * Echo: So?
 * Statyx: You're one of my best friends, Echo, but I'm telling you you have GOT to change your attitude!
 * Echo: ...best friend?
 * Statyx: Well, yeah. I mean, it's not like we're as close as Fou and I are, but you're still one of my best friends.
 * Echo: *blushing* Eerrm...
 * Statyx: Echo? You alright?
 * Echo: *quickly turns her back to him* Y-y-n--n-uhh...*brown blur*
 * Statyx: Huh. Wonder what that was all about?
 * Echo: *running, heads for the tree, suddenly pauses* No-no-no-no-no-no-no. *jumps in a bush* W-what happened back there?! Why am I sweating? Why am I blushing? Why am I nervous?! Gyahh! *"Gyahh!" echoes*
 * Statyx: What was that!? *races off in the direction Echo's yell came from* Echo!!
 * Echo: *shivering*
 * Statyx: Echo!!
 * Echo: Aw, man! *ducks into the bush*
 * Statyx: *looks around* Where'd she go? *bush rustles* Who's there?! *charges up his fist*
 * Echo: Uh...nobody here but us potatoes.
 * Statyx: ...Echo, come out from there.
 * Echo: I'm not comin' out and you can't make me!
 * Statyx: Okay, fine. ...oh, hi Sonic!
 * Echo: *screams*
 * Statyx: *walks over to the bush* Alright Echo, what's up? You're even jumpier than usual.
 * Echo: N-nothing's "up"!
 * Statyx: Echo...
 * Echo: I don't know, alright?! I've never been this hot and sweaty before, I'm just not feeling well!
 * Statyx: *feels her forehead* Whoa, you're burning up! Come on, let's go to my place. You need some rest, and some chicken soup. *dragging Echo*
 * Echo: T-that's a bad idea.
 * Statyx: Huh? Why?
 * Echo: It's...just allergies.
 * Statyx: Allergies? What are you allergic to? You can eat pretty much anything short of poisonous substances!
 * Echo: ...point taken. *bites Statyx*
 * Statyx: Ow!! *pulls his hand away* What the hell Echo!?
 * Echo: *brown blur*
 * Statyx: ....*looks around* Hm, I don't see Sonic anywhere. So I wonder wha's got her so jumpy?
 * Echo: *running* What's wrong with me? (Why does that keep happening everytime I get near Statyx?!)
 * Statyx: *walking towards his house* Aiaiai. When Sonic's around, her acting like that is something I expect. Why is she acting like that around me? Wait- *stops* Could she...? *shakes head* Nah, that'll happen when Hell freezes over and my luck turns good!
 * Echo: [moonlight, an azure lake twinkles under it] *washing her face with the water* *sighs* ...Statyx was right. He is one of my best friends. I never thought I'd be able to even make a friend, but then... *quick flashback of when Sonic returned Echo's flute* ...so...when did I meet Statyx? ...(think...)
 * ........Uh-ohh..... *puts on helmet*

...you're right. We did have to eventually come up with something. And judging by how fast you donned your purse helmet, I'd say we're both out of ideas...WE GOTTA THINK A SOMETHING!
 * Statyx: Why dosen't Bubbles think up something?
 * Echo: *chasing Statyx*
 * Quiet you two! Sorry, but I really can't think of anything. For some reason, it feels like my brain is locked down or somethin! *bangs head* THINK OF SOMETHING!!!
 * Whatever it is, I'm sure the day they first met was their first battle (according to the TP)
 * Well that's pretty much a give-in.
 * ...I have a vague idea of Statyx provoking Echo, they battle, and...well, whatever took place on the talk page.
 * Ehhhhhh, I'm not so sure. Statyx would have to have known Echo for a while, and know about her crush.
 * He would?
 * Shelly, he's a romantic, not psychic.
 * ...I don't get it. You do know I'm talking about when they first met, don't you?
 * Yeah. You said "whatever took place on the talk page". Statyx bugged Echo about her crush, and her past.
 * ...ARGH! Alright, here's how it goes! Statyx happened to be racing Sonic, then bumped into Echo when she got her flute back, noticed the look on her face, found out about her crush, bugged her about it, and then she chased him off.
 * ............How's bout for now she just has a flashback that isn't shown, and then we move on?
 * MAJIME NI!!
 *  * facepalms* Shelly, you know my aptitude with Japanese.
 * "Be serious!!"
 * I am being serious. Neither of us can think of anything, so rather than rack our heads thinking, why don't we just continue with the story, and if it comes up again, maybe one of us will have thought of something by then.
 * Shelly?

DANGIT!! Alright no more arguing, back to the RP!
 * Echo: ...nothing. Nothing at all. I can't remember...but what's it matter? *sees her reflection in the water* *shreiks, blasts water with a soundwave* *all wet, spits out water* Well, I did need a bath.
 * ???: 'Bout time. The smell was getting noxious.
 * Echo: *whips around to see Statyx standing nearby* Oh. H-hey Statyx.
 * Statyx: Alright Echo, what's up?
 * Echo: *about to speak*
 * Statyx: If you say "the sky", you're gonna get 12,000 volts, Echo.
 * Echo: I not afraid of getting zapped.
 * Statyx: Not even when you're soaked?
 * Echo: ...I stand corrected.
 * Statyx: *sighs* Alright Echo, seriously, what is going on with you?
 * Echo: Whatever do you mean?
 * Statyx: Alright then, I'll explain: whenever you're around Sonic, you get really jumpy and nervous, because you have a crush on him. However, you are now acting jumpy and nervous around me. So now, this is leading me to an insane conclusion, which I know is impossible.
 * Echo: And that "insane conclusion" would be what?
 * Statyx: That you might have a crush on me!
 * Echo: !!
 * Statyx: Like I said; insane, right?
 * Echo: *jumps into the lake*
 * Statyx: .......*sighs* Hey Echo! Sonic's here! And he has two jumbo chili dogs!
 * Echo: *soundwave rises from the water* "As hungry as I am I'm not falling for that!"
 * Statyx: Darn. Sorry Sonic, I guess Echo doesn't want to talk right now. It's too bad, because didn't you have something you wanted to confess to her?
 * Echo: *another soundwave* JUST REMEMBER, STATYX: BOX FLOATING DOWN THE RIVER!!
 * Statyx: What's that Sonic? You knew about her feelings for you all along!? And you feel the same!?
 * Okay, that has got to get her out of the water XD.
 * Let's hope so. All that talking has got to cost a lot of air.
 * Echo: [silence] *bubbles*
 * Statyx: WHAAT?? You say that you're in love with her!? Well, sorry Sonic, but she's not interested.
 * Echo: *more bubbles*
 * Statyx: Sorry to break your heart dude. But hey, there are other fish in the sea.
 * Echo: *even more bubbles*
 * Statyx: You know, Amy can be nice, when she's not acting crazy.
 * Alright if nothing else, I'm sure Echo will get out just to kill Statyx, right?
 * Of course. :P And did the thought that maybe she's drowning ever cross that knucklehead's mind?
 * No (it didn't cross my mind either actually). Of course, what can Statyx do about it if she's drowning? A single foot in the water and he'd electrocute her.
 * I know that. That's what adds to the panic.
 * Echo: *one big bubble, silent*
 * Statyx: ...Echo?
 * Echo: *silent, motionless*
 * Then enlighten me on something: how exactly is Statyx gonna save her?
 * Statyx: Uhhh.... Echo? If you're trying to pulla prank, it ain't funny.
 * He could find a heavy branch and lift her into that.
 * Oh. That's a good idea.
 * Statyx: Eheheheh, Echo, this really ain't funny! Come on!
 * Echo: *more silence*
 * Statyx: Oh no.... Echo!! Think Statyx, think! *looking around frantically* You can't make contact with the water, so what can you do?! *notices a long, sturdy branch* Aha! *runs over and grabs the branch, then pulls Echo out of the water with it, and lay her on the grass* Echo? Echo, speak to me! *hits her in the stomach with the branch*
 * Echo: *spurts out water like a fountain* *eyes slowly flutter open* Ugh...
 * Statyx: Echo, are you ok--
 * Echo: *grabs Statyx by the neck with a steaming hot hand* STATYX!!!!
 * Statyx: *choking* Can we settle this over a cup of tea* *beating sounds*
 * Dang, I had a really funny idea involving the other form of CPR XD.
 * Too late. She fell out of love already. And she'd really kill him if he tried that.
 * Darn, really? I had a whole thing thought up actually hat would be really funny.
 * Okay, lemme hear it. Maybe we'll do it.
 * Well, I haven't figured all of it out, but here goes. Statyx would fish Echo out of the water (as he did), then tray normal CPR. After that didn't work, he would perform mouth-to-mouth. Echo would wake up during the mouth-to-moth, and enjoy it a bit for a few seconds before coughing the water up. Statyx would be relieved that she's okay, then end up covering his eyes in embarrassment as he notices that Echo's completely soaked, making her sports bra rather transparent. Echo's reaction would depend on you at that point. However, she would quickly leave without insulting or beating Statyx (perhaps even giving him a quick kiss on the cheek or lips). Statyx would figure out Echo's feelings, and notice that Fou had been watching. He tells Fou not to tell anyone and attempts to explain the consequences of what would happen if Fou told anyone, only for Fou to say it instead (in a short period of phoenix wisdom). That's all.
 * ...eww.
 * What? You don't like it?
 * Echo wouldn't kiss Statyx, definetly not (even if she has a temporary crush on him) and also, with her being soaked, wouldn't even the smallest bit of contact with Statyx electrocute her?
 * Dang. Guess this idea is shot down. Right?
 * Shot down like a flock of birds.
 * Well, what if I made some adjustments, like Echo doesn't enjoy the mouth-to-mouth, but instead just blushes furiously and doesn't kill Statyx, and she doesn't kiss him before leaving. How does that work?
 * That sounds WAAAY out of character. She'd definetly kill him if he tried that. (she didn't in the date episode because that time it was an accident and her fault, and then both agreed never to speak of it again)
 * Dang, I'm just really off today. Of course, she does have a crush on him, and I'm sure she knows what mouth-to-mouth is. She wouldn't kill him if she knew he did it to save her life, would she?
 * That crush just ended. He provoked her with the "Sonic technique" and, as usual, she lost her temper with him. So everything is back to normal.
 * Dangit! Is there any way to keep the roleplay going?
 * [the next day...]
 * Echo: *napping in the tree*
 * Statyx: Hey, Echo!
 * Echo: *opens one eye* Come back for another whooping?
 * Statyx: *holding a cane, black eye* No, I just came to talk.
 * Echo: Blue blur.
 * Statyx: Aw, man. *limping away, almost gets his by a blue blur*
 * Amy: *chasing after Sonic* SOOONIIIC!!
 * Statyx: I can't believe they're still at it.
 * Echo: Yeah, whatever Molasses did, it sure wasn't good.
 * Statyx: Well, Amy has a notoriously short temper. All I have to do is share my honest opinion, and I usually get pounded.
 * Echo: Well, it's both our jobs to keep you and Molasses in your place.
 * Statyx: Well, I guess whatever issues you had yesterday are resolved.
 * Echo: What do you mean?
 * Statyx: I mean you're acting like your normal self! Yesterday you were all jumpy and fidgety when I said a single word to ya!
 * Echo: *jumps down in front of Statyx, blows in his face*
 * Statyx: Oh, boy. *falls on his back, drops his cane*
 * Echo: Any more comments?
 * Statyx: No...
 * Echo: Thought so.
 * Statyx: *struggling to get up* Can I get some help?
 * Echo: Nope.
 * Statyx: Honestly. I thought I was one of your best friends.
 * Echo: You are. That's why out of me, you get a special benefit.
 * Statyx: What, getting beat up all day?
 * Echo: No, that fact that I actually talk to you. *takes him by the quil, stands him up*
 * Statyx: I don't get it.
 * Echo: Then never mind.
 * Statyx: No, I mean I'd just like you to explain.
 * Echo: Most characters I pass by I never interact with.
 * Statyx: So? That's what most other people do.
 * Echo: Even when they are screaming your name to get out of their tree?
 * Statyx: Well, you don't usually make friends through situations like that.
 * Echo: Oh, ya think? *blows on Statyx again, he wobbles and eventually falls*
 * Statyx: You really gotta stop doing that.
 * Echo: *helps him back up*
 * Statyx: Really Echo, I'm sure that if you actually tried, you could make some friends.
 * Echo: Heh, yeah right.
 * Statyx: No, really. Granted, you're more of an acquired taste, but you've already made 3 friends, and you weren't even trying!
 * Echo: 3?
 * Statyx: Yeah; me, Fou, and Sonic.
 * Echo: And Shamia.
 * Statyx: See? That's 4!
 * Echo: Yeah yeah, point taken. *pushes Statyx with her finger, he falls*
 * Statyx: What'd I do that time?
 * Echo: Nothing.
 * Statyx: *grabs onto the tree to get up* You're...just mean.
 * Echo: I know.
 * Statyx: Yeah. *uses cane to sweep Echo's feet out from under her, causing her to fall. Smiles* But you're still my friend.
 * Echo: *drags Statyx down with her, beating and zapping sounds*
 * Statyx: Ha! Payback time!
 * Echo: Lose a few MORE teeth! *arguing, more beating sounds*
 * Statyx: Ha! Fat chance! *throws Echo off of him*
 * Echo: *hits her head on the tree* D'Oh!
 * Statyx: *walks over to Echo* Hey Echo, you okay?
 * Echo: *passed out*
 * Statyx: ...hmm, I thought she had a harder head than that. *crouches down in front of Echo*
 * Echo: ...*wakes up* You have no idea. *grabs Statyx, both continue brawling*
 * Statyx: *laughs a bit* Hey, you can't hold back on an injured person?
 * Echo: You think you're injured now, just wait, tomorrow your heart's gonna be pumpin' blood that's coming from a transfusion pack!
 * Statyx: What did I do to make you so angry?
 * Echo: Anger is pointless. But brawling is PRACTICE!
 * Statyx: You have a funny way of simply practicing!
 * Echo: What do you mean by that?
 * Statyx: When I usually practice, I actually hold back! But you, *pulls Echo's feet out from under her* You don't hold anything back!
 * Echo: So, the reason you're in a cast and and walking on a cane is because you were holding back the whole time I pulverized you for nearly letting me drown?
 * Statyx: You know I can't touch the water!
 * Echo: Still, you can't miss the bubbles.
 * Statyx: No, Bubbles, I think I will. *bursts into laughter*
 * Echo: ...eh, I don't get it.
 * Statyx: Because you lack a sense of humor that doesn't involve bodily injury.
 * Echo: Fine. I won't hit you again.
 * Statyx: ...alright, what are you up to?
 * Echo: This. *steps to the side, Statyx gets run over by a blue blur, and then trampled over by Amy*
 * Statyx: Well, if this is the worst thing that happens to me today, I'm happy.
 * Echo: *picks Statyx up, carrying him* Come on, there's no way you'll be able to get home in your condition.
 * Statyx: Echo, you'd be surprised what I've lived through.
 * Echo: Hey, I seriously doubt you've gone through anything I haven't.
 * Statyx: Did a full-grown whale ever fall on to you after you escaped a car pile-up without a scratch?
 * Echo: .....I stand corrected.
 * Statyx: Yeah, I thought as much.
 * Echo: Dumb. Luck.
 * Statyx: Yeah, dumb bad' luck.
 * Echo: Obviously.
 * Statyx: Anyway, thanks for the lift.
 * Echo: *drops Statyx*
 * Statyx: Hey!
 * Echo: *rings the bell, walks off* You're welcome.
 * Blaze: *opens door* *gasps* Statyx! What happened to you?
 * Statyx: *struggles, but gets up* Oh, just the usual. *looks off in the direction Echo went*
 * Blaze: Something wrong Statyx?
 * Statyx: Uh, I don't think so...
 * Sooooo, is this thing done? Or are we gonna keep it going?
 * Echo: *starts running*
 * Statyx: 3, 2, 1. *blue blur*
 * Blaze: Where'd you learn to do that?
 * Statyx: From a friend.

Lost Memories

 * Echo loses her memories due to a head injury, and now it is up to Sonic and Statyx to find a way to cure her. Will they succeed, or are Echo's memories gone for good?


 * Sonic: *catches up with Echo* Hey, Echo. Sorry about passing by you yesterday, I was busy.
 * Echo: Busy running from a pink berzerker.
 * Amy: SOONIIC!
 * Echo: And still are. Alright, let's race.
 * Sonic: Whew, thanks.
 * Amy: SOONIIC!! You forgot our date again!!
 * Statyx: Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn Sonic!
 * Sonic: YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?!
 * Blaze: *giggles*
 * Echo: *running backwards* Your girlfriend?
 * Sonic: Yes and no.
 * Amy: *speeds up* WHADDYA MEAN "YES AND NO"?!
 * Sonic: Ah, boy!!
 * Statyx: Dude at this point, you had just better stop talking and start running!
 * Sonic: Gotcha! *he and Echo speed off, with Amy on their tails*
 * Statyx: *sighs, then takes off his bandages, revealing that he's fully healed, and looks at Blaze* Blaze, they're gonna be killed unless I help them out, so...?
 * Blaze: *sighs* Go ahead.
 * Amy: *throws her hammer*
 * Sonic: INCOMING ASTEROID!! *blue blur*
 * Echo: Molasses, you're scared of an 11-year-old squealer!! What damage could one hammer possibly-- *gets hit on the head, passes out*
 * Amy: *walks over to Echo, picks up her hammer* And I'm, thank you very much!
 * Sonic: You are?
 * Amy: Don't question me, Sonic the Hedgehog!
 * Sonic: *backing up as Amy stomps closer to him*
 * Amy: This is the 20th time you've missed a date!
 * Statyx: *Chaos Controls between Amy and Sonic, with Echo thrown over his shoulder* Sorry Amy, but you're vengeance is gonna have to wait. *grabs Sonic and Chaos Controls away*
 * Amy: GRRRRRRRR!!!!! STAAAAAAATYYYYYYX!!!!!!!!
 * Statyx: *reappears in his living room with Sonic and Echo* *lay Echo down on the couch*
 * Sonic: Thanks, Statyx.
 * Statyx: Don't mention it. Man, Echo sure got hit on the head pretty hard.
 * Sonic: She's got a hard head, you should be worried about Amy's hammer.
 * Statyx: *laughter* Yeah.
 * Sonic: *looks at Echo, who has a lump on her head* Echo? Can you hear me?
 * Statyx: Hey, Echo?
 * Sonic: ...out cold.
 * Statyx: Hey, I know of a way to wake her up.
 * Sonic: What's that?
 * Statyx: Plant a big, long, wet one on her lips.
 * Sonic: WHAT?!
 * Statyx: You want to wake her up, don't you?
 * Sonic: I did, but I think I've changed my mind since then.
 * Echo: *moans* No...leave them alone...
 * Sonic: Echo?
 * Echo: *eyes slowly flutter open* Ugh...where...where am I?
 * Statyx: You're in my place. You sure got hit pretty hard.
 * Echo: I did?
 * Statyx: Yeah, by Amy's hammer?
 * Echo: Who's Amy?
 * Sonic: The "pink bezerker"?
 * Echo: *blinks*
 * Sonic: ...the girl who was just chasing us?
 * Echo: What girl?
 * Statyx: Pink fur? Red dress? Big hammer?
 * Echo: ...do you know someone like that?
 * Statyx: Ugh! I swear, Echo, sometimes you can be SO dense!
 * Echo: Why did you call me that?
 * Statyx: Call you what? *takes a sip of water*
 * Echo: Echo.
 * Statyx: *spits out water, laughing* Very funny, Echo! Pretending to have amnesia.
 * Sonic: I'm not so sure she's pretending, Statyx.
 * Echo: Statyx?
 * Sonic: ...Hey, Echo? What's my name?
 * Echo: How should I know?
 * Sonic: Could it be...Sonic?
 * Echo: Is it?
 * Sonic: From what I recall, it is Sonic, right?
 * Echo: ...okay, Sonic, so who am I?
 * Sonic: ...yup. Amnesia.
 * Echo: Who the heck is this "amnesia" person you keep talking about?! Is she the one in the red dress?!
 * Statyx: No no, that's Amy.
 * Sonic: Oh man, this is serious!
 * Statyx: No kiddin'. She even forgot "Molasses".
 * Echo: Who's that?
 * Sonic: AWW DON'T SAY THAT ECHO!!
 * Echo: *slaps Sonic* Stop yelling.
 * Sonic: ...and yet the attitude still remains.
 * Statyx: Some things never change.
 * Echo: *stomach growls*
 * Statyx: See what I mean?
 * Echo: What's there to eat?
 * Statyx: I'll make lunch, then we can work on how to get your memory back.
 * Sonic: Statyx, you'll spoil her. We should all just go out for Chili Dogs.
 * Echo: What're those?
 * Sonic: *grabs his chest, falls to the floor* ...I...I don't even know you anymore!
 * Statyx: Hmm.... I wonder...
 * Sonic: Wonder what?
 * Statyx: Tell me, Echo, can you remember anything about your past?
 * Echo: Should I...?
 * Statyx: Concentrate.
 * Echo *closes her eyes* I remember...running...
 * Sonic: Running?
 * Statyx: *holds up one hand, signaling Sonic to keep quiet*
 * Echo: ...running as fast as I could...trying to get there before...*grabs her head* Ugh!! My head!
 * Statyx: *puts his hand on Echo's shoulder* Don't strain yourself Echo. Why don't you go take a rest?
 * Echo: *plops back on the couch, falls asleep instantly*
 * Sonic: ...that's one more thing about her that'll never change.
 * Statyx: Heheh, yeah.
 * Sonic: Well, I'm gonna go pick up some Chili Dogs.
 * Statyx: Sonic, it's a lot faster, easier and cheaper just to give her home-cooked food. Besides, what if Amy's waiting out there for you?
 * Sonic: ...On second thought, a nice home-cooked meal isn't so bad either.
 * Statyx: I thought so.
 * Sonic: *nervous chuckle*
 * Man, that "Echo has a crush on Statyx" scenario didn't last long. Oh well.
 * Statyx: However, this might actually be a good thing, this memory loss...
 * Sonic: Huh? Why?
 * Statyx: *sighs* Echo's suffered a lot in her life, and carried a lot of baggage because of it. With this memory loss, she has a clean slate. A chance to start over...
 * Sonic: Oh. *looks at a sleeping Echo* ...Yeah, that's true.
 * Statyx: On the other hand, we'd be trading the pain from her past for the pain of her not knowing who she is.
 * Sonic: And that makes it harder on whether we should decide to help her get her memory back.
 * Statyx: Yeah. For now, let's just see what happens... [later that day]
 * Echo: *slowly wakes up, stretches, wipes her eye*
 * Sonic: Good morning, sleeping beauty.
 * Echo: Oh, hey. *stands up* How long was I out?
 * Sonic: Long enough for Statyx to finish preparing lunch.
 * Echo: *runs past Sonic into the kitchen*
 * Sonic: Sheesh. She's just as polite as ever.
 * Statyx: *notices Echo* Well, it seems that you had a nice nap.
 * Echo: I would've slept longer, but then I started dreaming about food.
 * Sonic: *sits down, chuckles* Let's see if she can still pack it away without gaining a pound. *30 seconds later*
 * Echo: *belches*
 * Sonic and Statyx: *wide-eyed, staring at Echo*
 * Statyx: ...yup.
 * Sonic: I told ya we shoulda went out for Chili Dogs.
 * Echo: Why do you keep talking about cold dogs?
 * Sonic: No, Chili Dogs. Just follow me. *looks through the peep hole* No sign of Amy. Okay, Ech, let's go! *runs out the door, Echo follows him*
 * Echo: Where are we going?
 * Sonic: You'll see.
 * Statyx: ...Statyx. Party of one.
 * Sonic: *running* Hey Echo, you remember how much you used to run?!
 * Echo: Sort of! *speeds ahead of Sonic* *both start racing*
 * Statyx: *chuckles* I wonder how long it'll be 'till Echo remembers her crush on Sonic. [later that day, at sunset]
 * Sonic and Echo: *standing in front of a forest, watching the sunset*
 * Sonic: Heh. It's clear you remember your love for Chili Dogs, Echo. You left me broke!
 * Echo: I can't help it. I'm always hungry for some reason.
 * Sonic: And always skinny as a toothpick. So tell me, do you remember this place?
 * Echo: ...I...*looks at the trees* ...I do...*jumps into a tree* I remember sitting here...and...someone was right next to me.
 * Sonic: Who was it?
 * Echo: I think it was you.
 * Sonic: Me, huh? *jumps in, stands next to her*
 * Echo: I was sitting here, and you were standing there, and then...*kicks him out of the tree*
 * Sonic: AAH! *lands on his head* Oh, yeah. That's right. That was the day we met. X{
 * Echo: It... was?
 * Sonic: *gets up, rubbing head. Chuckles* Yeah, it was.
 * Echo: Hmm... *notices something shiny resting against the tree's trunk* *jumps down, inspects object, which is revealed to be her flute*
 * Sonic: Do you remember how to play the flute?
 * Echo: Play? ...this is my flute?
 * Sonic: Yeah. And this is the tree you like to lay in.
 * Echo: ...how do you know so much about me, anyways?
 * Sonic: I don't know that much, Echo, but I know enough to be able to call you my friend.
 * Echo: ...*looks at flute, puts it to her mouth* [CACOPHONY]
 * Sonic: *wincing* Uh, Echo!
 * Echo: *stops* Hmm?
 * Sonic: Uh, why don't you take a break?
 * Echo: Is it that bad?
 * Sonic: I wouldn't nessicarily say "bad"...
 * Echo: Then what would you say?
 * Statyx: That maybe you should practice in private for now.
 * Echo & Sonic: BWAGHAH!! *both jumps and see Statyx leaning against a tree*
 * Sonic: Don't do that!!
 * Statyx: *points* I don't see why you're complaining.
 * [Sonic and Echo then notice that Echo jumped into Sonic's arms (Like Scooby-Doo)]
 * Echo: *blushing*
 * Sonic: *lets her down* So, you came to try and help me get Echo's memories back?
 * Statyx: Well, I just came here to hang out actually, and see what happens.
 * Sonic: Eh, that works too. Maybe she'll remember how she used to torture you.
 * Echo: I did?
 * Statyx: *anime vain* Yeah, and maybe she'll remember the CRUSH she had on you!
 * Sonic: ...*blinks*
 * Echo: I did?
 * Sonic: *bursts into laughter, rolling on the floor, hitting the ground*
 * Echo: ...I don't get it.
 * Statyx: Don't get what?
 * Echo: *thumbs over to Sonic* Why I ever had a crush on him.
 * Sonic: 0_0
 * Statyx: *bursts into laughter*
 * Sonic: Yup. Still Echo, no matter how empty her head is.
 * Echo: ...I just remembered something.
 * Sonic: Really? What?
 * Echo: *punches Sonic in the stomach*
 * Sonic: *grunts* ...you sure she's not faking memory loss?
 * Echo: I don't know why I did that, but it felt good.
 * Statyx: I know why you did it.
 * Echo: Hmm?
 * Statyx: Because ECHO LIKES SONIC! *more laughter*
 * Echo: ...I still don't get it.
 * Sonic: I get it, all right. Boy, I can't wait for your memory to come back so we can discuss this.
 * Echo: "Discuss"?
 * Statyx: *roaring with laughter* OH, MAN!! THIS IS RICH!
 * Echo: *stares at Statyx* What is goin' on!!
 * .......I'm kinda at a loss myself. What's goin' on?
 * Statyx just let the cat outta the bag, and now, when Echo gets her memory back, Sonic is gonna wanna "discuss" things with her. And only Gaia knows what that means.
 * Ah. Well, with Echo's memories gone, she doesn't remember all of the stuff she's done with Sonic, or what made her fall in love with him, so it seems that she doesn't find him overly appealing.
 * Statyx: Well, when *looks at Sonic, a note of seriousness in his expression* or "if" you get your memories back, Sonic's gonna want to talk to you about your crush on him.
 * Echo: That's what I don't get! Why would I have a crush on him!? I just don't see it!!
 * ...Kagimizu, you've done it again.
 *  * shields self* I'm afraid to ask, but what exactly did I do again?
 * Shelly?
 * Look over what you wrote for Sonic.
 * DAMNIT!!
 * Nice one, genius. Anyways...
 * Sonic: Frankly, neither do I. I was always convinced you hated me.
 * Statyx: Because she was that good at hiding it.
 * Echo: ...well, I don't feel that way now.
 * Sonic: *shrugs* Well, okay.
 * Echo: If anything, I woulda thought I had feelings for him. *thumbs to Statyx*
 * Statyx: What?
 * Echo: *looks at Statyx* Don't get me wrong, if I did have any feelings for you, those are gone as well. I'm just sayin that it would make sense.
 * Statyx: WHY?!
 * Echo: You're rich and you feed me. That's all there is to it.
 * Statyx: ...*picks up a big rock* Alright, hold still and this won't hurt a bit!
 * Sonic: Statyx, what're you doing?
 * Statyx: Gettin' her memory back!
 * Sonic: There are other methods to that rather than hurting her!!
 * Statyx: That still leaves plenty of payback to be justified!!
 * Echo: Geez, what did I do to you?
 * [Statyx and Sonic look at her in shock]
 * Sonic: .........you're kidding right?
 * Echo: *shakes head no*
 * [Numerous flashbacks of all the times Echo hit or blasted Statyx are seen.]
 * Echo: Wow. I did all that?
 * Statyx: *seething. Demonic voice* Yes.
 * Echo: Oh, I'm so sorry!
 * Statyx: *pupils shrink, jaw drops, then faints*
 * Sonic: ...I...I think I heard you wrong, Echo! Did you just APOLOGIZE?! YOU???
 * Echo: Y-yes. Is something wrong?
 * Sonic: Huh...whod've thought a little bonk on the head could change a person?
 * Statyx: Funny, I took plenty of hits like that, but I didn't get a personality adjustment.
 * Sonic: Yeah, me too. ...now that I think about it, Echo and Amy don't associate much, so Echo's never been hit with her hammer before.
 * Statyx: Y'know, I expected her to have a harder head than that.
 * Sonic: Yeah! *laughter*
 * Echo: *giggles*
 * Sonic and Statyx: *jaws drop, hitting the ground with a loud "clang!"*
 * Echo: ...was it something I said?
 * Sonic: If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand time: "I don't even know you anymore."
 * Echo: I don't know me, either. ...*looks down, picks a flower, sniffs it, sighs*
 * Statyx: ...I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually starting to miss the Echo who would knock me around on a daily basis.
 * Sonic: Hmm. So do I. You never know how you touch people's lives.
 * Statyx: Yeah, but this isn't about us. *looks at Echo, who seems to be calmly enjoying herself, smiling softly* It's about Echo.
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Statyx: She seems so happy, so blissfully unaware of who she was, or what she went through.
 * Sonic: Maybe so, but...
 * Statyx: Sonic, she's actually smiling. She's actually happy. Should we really take that away from her?
 * Sonic: ...You're right, Statyx. I've never seen her this happy.
 * AMY: SOOONIIIIC!!!!
 * Sonic: Yeow!
 * Echo: Hmm? *sees Amy charging for them*
 * Amy: You're gonna pay for this one, mister!
 * Sonic: Echo, up here! *jumps in the tree*
 * Echo: *jumps* What're we doing?
 * Statyx: *jumps up* Hiding and being as quiet as possible! Shh!!!
 * Amy: *panting* Where...did...he...go?!
 * Echo: OH! So that's the girl in the red dress!
 * Sonic and Statyx: *panickedly "shushing" Echo*
 * Amy: *looks up* Aha! *bashing the tree trunk*
 * Sonic: TIMBER! *hedgehogs jump out of the falling tree, which lands with a loud thud*
 * Amy: Sonic the Hedgehog! I have been looking for you for days! DAYS! Why have you been running away from me?
 * Echo: You were running from her?
 * Amy: Don't you try to act innocent, missy! You ran off with my boyfriend in the first place!
 * Echo: I did? Wel...sorry.
 * Amy: I don't--what?
 * Echo: I'm sorry. And also, I like your outfit.
 * Amy: Really? Thanks! I made it myself. *gleeful smile*
 * Echo: Cool! I have no idea where I got mines, though.
 * Amy: Really? You don't remember?
 * Echo: I can't remember anything. And Sonic or Sta-- *turns around, the two have disappeared* ...where'd they go?
 * Amy: Hmph!
 * [Sonic and Statyx are hiding in another tree.]
 * Statyx: Okay, so far so good. Let's see how this plays out.
 * Sonic: You sure about that? It could go anywhere from them becoming best friends to starting World War III!
 * Statyx: Well, as true is that is, we shouldn't intervene. At least, not until that happens.
 * Sonic: Gotcha.
 * Echo: Well, maybe I could help you find them.
 * Amy: Thanks. I can't wait to give that Sonic a piece of my mind.
 * Echo: What'd he do?
 * Amy: He missed a date with me, of course.
 * Echo: A date?
 * Amy: Yeah. And I thought it was to hang out with you.
 * Echo: I didn't know waking up not knowing anything was a date?
 * Amy: Huh? What do you mean?
 * Echo: I can't remember anything...
 * Amy: You can't?
 * Echo: *nods "no"*
 * Amy: Oh, you poor thing! *takes Echo's hands in hers* No wonder Sonic blew me off! Don't worry, I'll help you recover your memories!
 * Echo: Really? Thanks, uh...
 * Amy: Oh, sorry! I'm Amy Rose. And...I don't suppose you remember your own name?
 * Echo: I think they called me..."Echo"?
 * Amy: Well, Echo, we'd better find Sonic and Statyx so they can help.
 * Echo: *nods, smiling* Okay!
 * Statyx: Well, they seem to be getting along just fine.
 * Echo: Did you hear that?
 * Statyx: *covers his mouth, sweating*
 * Amy: Hear what?
 * Echo: I think I heard someone's voice...
 * Sonic: What's wrong?
 * Statyx: I forgot about Echo's sonar hearing!
 * Echo: HI STATYX!!
 * Statyx: Dang!! *chuckles nervously* Hiya, Echo.
 * Amy: There you two are! Come down from there.
 * Statyx: .....Nice knowin ya Sonic! *knocks Sonic out of the tree*
 * Sonic: Traitor!! *lands on Echo*
 * Echo: AAH! *kicks him off* Don't do that!
 * Sonic: I'm SORRY! I didn't know what I landed on!
 * Statyx: *facepalms* This is why non-perversion is so hard these days.
 * Echo: I remember now! Didn't that happen before?!
 * Sonic: Uh...
 * Amy: It happened before?!
 * Echo: And he got blasted into a tree!
 * Amy: So you do remember some things!
 * Echo: Just whatever I relive...
 * Sonic: Well, then, maybe we should relive some things with you, then?
 * Echo: Like what?
 * Sonic: What about that date we had at Texas Motorspeed--*pupils shrink*way.
 * Amy: *eyes closed, anime vain* What was that?
 * Statyx: *mischevious smile* Oh, and what about that date you two had at that high-class resturaunt, where at the end of the date you kissed her!
 * Sonic: *looks at Statyx* ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME KILLED!?!?!?!
 * Echo: I don't remember any of that...
 * Amy: *sing-song voice* Oh, Soooniiic...?
 * Sonic: *blue blur* HELP!!
 * Amy: *pink blur* RAAAAAAAAHHHHh!!!!!!!!!! * 2 hours later, Sonic has a fat lip, a black eye, some teeth missing, several bruises on his skin, and he lay on a big rock*
 * Amy: So, Echo, do you think you could learn how to use your Sonokinesis?
 * Echo: My what? Is that a disease? I remember mother telling me that if I ever got a disease, it'd be harder to take care of me...
 * Statyx: Your mother?
 * Sonic: Yah mawahh?
 * Echo: Yes...last thing I remember, I saved my friends by firing this big, shining ring...it seemed to scream at those thugs...I can't remember anything after tha--AAH! Wait a minute!! *looks at herself*
 * Amy: What is it?
 * Echo: Just...how OLD am I?!
 * Statyx: Uh, I dunno...about 15?
 * Echo: 15? I was just 5 not too long ago!
 * Statyx: This is interesting. Tell me, Echo, where were you when this big ring saved you?
 * Echo: In my alley...
 * Statyx: There are a lot of alleys Echo. Can you be more specific?
 * Echo: ...I...*grabs head in pain* Urgh!
 * Statyx: Echo?!
 * Sonic: Bwagahho?
 * Echo: I-I'm okay...
 * Statyx: Don't strain yourself. If you can't remember, that's fine.
 * Amy: Oh no! This was because of my new hammer, wasn't it? I'm so sorry!
 * Echo: Your hammer? You mean, you hit me like you did Sonic? *points to Sonic, who right now, you can't tell whether he's still breathing*
 * Amy: Actually, I threw my hammer to be more precise, and it landed on your head.
 * Echo: Hmm...
 * Statyx: Echo, do you remember your friends? The ones you procteted?
 * Echo: ...they were good people...that's all I know...that's all I can remember...
 * Statyx: I see. And your mother...?
 * Echo: ...it's a blur...there was something about her...something important I'm to never forget. Sadly, I'm afraid I have...
 * Statyx: Well, perhaps it would be best if you didn't think about it too much, and let your memories come back to you naturally.
 * Echo: Okay...
 * Amy: This is all my fault...
 * Echo: I don't blame you, Amy Rose. The rest of my memory should come back at some point.
 * Statyx: Yeah, that's the spirit!
 * Echo: *smiles at Statyx*
 * Statyx: ...*wiping his eyes*
 * Echo: Something wrong?
 * Statyx: No. I just gotta get used to that.
 * Echo and Amy: *giggle*
 * Sonic: *chuckles*
 * Echo: *looks up* Hey, what's that? *a blade of darkness is flying towards them*
 * Statyx: Watch out!! *all dive just in time to avoid it*
 * ???: Well, well, well, what have we here?
 * ???: ¡Es similar a nuestro objetivo durante el día de la Junta, mi amigo!
 * Statyx: Dangit! Talk about bad timing...!
 * Echo: What's going on? *figures emerge from the shadows, revealed to be Wolfe and Valdez*
 * Statyx: Perfect, just perfect!
 * Amy: Who're they?!
 * Sonic: Trouble.
 * Statyx: BIG trouble! You guys, get Echo out of here!
 * Sonic: *grabs Echo's hand* Come on, Echo! *takes Amy's hand, blue blur*
 * Wolfe: Not this time, fools. It's you and me, Statyx. Valdez, go after those three.
 * Valdez: Si. *flies after them*
 * Statyx: NO!!
 * Sonic: Look out! *all three of them dive, Valdez swoops down and grabs Amy*
 * Amy: Heelp!!!
 * Sonic: Amy!
 * Echo: Oh no!
 * [Statyx Chaos Controls up into the air, and comes down spinning, hitting Valdez on the back with an Axe Kick]
 * Valdez: Gah! *drops Amy*
 * Amy: Ahhhhhh!!
 * Sonic: Amy, I'm coming!
 * Echo: *Triangle Jumps off the trees, catches Amy in the air* *both land safely on the ground*
 * Amy: Thanks, Echo!
 * Echo: Don't mention--LOOK OUT! *both duck just in time to avoid Wolfe's dark blade*
 * Wolfe: *homing attacks towards, them, Sonic spindashes him away*
 * Sonic: Is that all you've got?
 * Wolfe: Hardly! *slams his fist into the ground, causing spears of shadow to erupt from the ground*
 * Sonic: *just barely dodging the spears* Whoa!!
 * Echo: *carrying Amy, jumps into a tree*
 * Amy: (Wow, this Echo girl is just like Sonic!)
 * Sonic: *still "dancing"* Echo! Get--outta here!
 * Echo: But what about you?
 * Sonic: I can take-- *Wolfe punches Sonic in the stomach, throwing him into a boulder* *grunts*
 * Amy and Echo: Sonic!
 * Sonic: *gets on his feet* I'm fine! *dodges Valdez* Go!
 * Echo: No...
 * Amy: What're we gonna do?
 * Echo: I...I...*makes a fist, hand starts glowing a chartreuse aura* *growling* EQUALIZE! *throws a soundwave at Wolfe, which directly hits him and sends him flying*
 * Echo: I...*looks at her palm* What...did I do?
 * Sonic: Echo! What're you waiting for?!
 * Echo: Uh, right! *jumps out of tree, carrying Amy, running*
 * Statyx: *runs to Sonic* Did you see that? That soundwave?
 * Sonic: *smirks* Heheah! See? Told ya all she needed was a reminder. Pretty soon, she's gonna be throwing those at me again.
 * Statyx: You? Pretty soon I'm gonna be making regular visits to the E.R. room!
 * Sonic: But her memories have only been gone for like, 2 days.
 * Statyx: 2 more days than what I usually spend out of the E.R. room.
 * Sonic: *anime sweatdrop*
 * Wolfe: *hits a nerve in Statyx's neck, knocking him out* Hmph. You're slipping, Statyx. You were always so focused, yet now...
 * Sonic: *kicking Wolfe, all of which he blocks*
 * Wolfe: *grabs Sonic's leg, throws him, he lands skidding*
 * Sonic: *gets up, grinning* Heh, you'll have to do better than that!
 * Wolfe: *growls* Gladly.
 * Echo: *finds her way into town, puts Amy down* What WAS that?!
 * Amy: You tell me, you're the one with those powers!
 * Echo: Was this...part of my memories?
 * Amy: Oh! Now I see why your name is "Echo"! You're a Sonokinetic!
 * Echo: A what???
 * Amy: You can manipulate sound, can't you? I don't exactly know how it works, but why not try it again?
 * Echo: Okay...*closes her eyes, holds her hands in front of her* ...what was that thing I said again?
 * Amy: Huh? Um, I think it was..."Equalize"?
 * Echo: Right. Okay. ...Equalize? *large soundwave takes out the newspaper stand*
 * Echo: Oopsie!
 * Amy: Wow Echo! That was amazing!
 * Echo: *looks at her hands* It...was...
 * Angry Newspaper Seller: *rolls up a newspaper and comes after the two*
 * Amy: Uh-oh! I think we made him mad!
 * Echo: *grabs Amy's hand and brown blurs*
 * [Meanwhile, Sonic is still fighting Wolfe. Neither is gaining the advantage]
 * Sonic: *blocks a kick from Wolfe* Heh, Statyx always says pretty big stuff about your fighting abilities. *throws Wolfe*
 * Wolfe: *lands* Well, you seem very adept at hand-to-hand yourself, hedgehog.
 * Echo: *still running* Amy, earlier the others had mentioned "a pink girl with a red dress and a big hammer". That wouldn't be you, would it...?
 * Amy: T-that is me.
 * Echo: *stops running* They also mentioned me getting hit on the head with a big hammer. If I'm putting 2 + 2 together correctly...
 * Amy: Wait, you're telling me you don't remember being hit on the head with my hammer?
 * Echo: You DID?! W-w-w-wWHY would you do something like that?! Now I have anastatia!
 * Amy: What?
 * Echo: Uh, I think that's what they called it. M-meory loss?
 * Amy: "Amnesia".
 * Echo: That's it. I can't remember anything because of that...
 * Amy: Echo, I'm so sorry...Wait...so, this means Sonic WASN'T hanging out with you to restore your memory! That hedgehog better SAY HIS PRAYERS!
 * Sonic: *ear twitches* I have the strangest feeling that I'm gonna be in BIG trouble later.
 * Wolfe: You should be worried about right now! *charges at Sonic*
 * Sonic: *jumps out of the way*
 * Statyx: *throws a bolt of electricity at Wolfe*
 * Wolfe: *cancels it out with a dark spear*
 * Sonic: *spindashes at Wolfe, who catches him spindashing and throws him at Statyx*
 * Statyx: UGH!
 * Amy: *takes out her hammer* Are you sure you want to do this, Echo?
 * Echo: If it's the way to get my memories back, and help my friends, then let's do it.
 * Amy: Okay... *raises her hammer, hits Echo very hard with it*
 * Echo: *passes out*
 * Amy: Oh no! Echo! Are you alright?
 * Echo: Ohhh...my head...
 * Amy: Oh, I'm so sorry!
 * Echo: *gets up, runs off*
 * Amy: Echo, wait! Where are you going?
 * Echo: If ya wanna save your would-be boyfriend then speed it up!
 * Amy: She's back. -_- HEY! Whaddya mean "would-be"?! *chases after Echo with her hammer*
 * Statyx: *charges Wolfe*
 * Wolfe: *slashes at Statyx*
 * Statyx: *jumps over Wolfe, then blasts him with a thunder bream from behind*
 * Wolfe: Grah!!
 * Sonic: Now take this!! *jumps into the air, then comes down spinning, hitting Wolfe with an Axe Kick*
 * Wolfe: Urk!
 * Statyx: Sonic, watch it! *Valdez swoops down towards Sonic*
 * Sonic: !
 * Echo: EQUALIZE!! *throws a big soundwave at Valdez, which causes him to loop-the-loop in the sky and faceplant into a boulder, K.O.ed*
 * Statyx: Hey Echo, nice shot!
 * Echo: Don't get too relaxed Sparky. I ain't savin your butt a second time!
 * Statyx: *anime sweatdrop* I see you're back to normal Echo.
 * Echo: Yeah, and after this, we're gonna "talk" about how you tried to get info about my past outta me!
 * Statyx: *gulps*
 * Wolfe: Well, I must say, Echo. I'm glad you returned. My mission will be that much easier to complete.
 * Echo: I'm not going down without a fight, Rover.
 * Statyx: Sorry to correct you Echo, but the only one going down today is Wolfe!
 * Echo: *kicks Statyx in the crutch*
 * Statyx: FfFfFfFfFfFft....! *eyes roll to the back of his head, falls on his back*
 * Sonic: Ouch.

Faster Than A Kiss
Sonic and Echo get into an argument over how Echo constantly mooches Sonic for food/money, and how it cannot go on forever. Surprisingly, their banter ends with a marriage proposal and Sonic's promise to support and take care of her. Is he serious or just playing around...!? Two words: PAYBACK TIME!!!

Alone the world

 * This is the story of Echo's unhappy childhood and what made her what she is today. This story is coming soon to Forum:Sonic: Equalized

Between a rock and a hard place

 * In this story, Statyx pulls a prank that ruin's Echo's trust in him. But will one little mistake ruin their friendship?


 * Sharna: *hugging Sonic, squeezing him*
 * Sonic: *choking* Okay, Sharna, I think that's enough for one day. (or the rest of my life!)
 * Statyx: Aw, boy. Poor Sonic. I'm sure glad Echo isn't here to see this.
 * Fou: I'll go get her! *flies out the door*
 * Statyx: Nono, Fou! I said "glad", not "sad"--ohh!
 * Fou: *dragging a yelling and screaming Echo behind him* Hey, everybody! Look who I found hiding in a tree!
 * Echo: I was napping!!! Lemme go!!
 * Statyx: *facepalms* Oh Fou what am I gonna do with you?
 * Echo: You have until the count of three, Fou, or I will due something so bad to you it will be considered illegal.
 * Statyx: Don't bother Echo, he's oblivious. Just skip to zero so you can get your butt handed to you by an 8-year-old.
 * Echo: *takes off jacket so Fou can't drag her anymore*
 * Fou: AAH! Don't get up!! *covers eyes* Okay. You can get up now.
 * Echo: *gets up, snatches jacket* Hmph.
 * Statyx: Aiaiai, are you guys gonna fight or what?
 * Fou: Ooh, fight! Fight! Fight!!
 * Statyx: Looks like Fou is all for it.
 * Echo: *slips jacket on* I don't have time to spar with Shorty. *heads for the door*
 * Fou: .........*smiles*
 * [As Echo is walking towards the door, a Bawk noise is heard]
 * Echo: What?
 * Fou: Bawk bawk! Bawk bawk bawk baaawwwwk! *Fou walks and jumps around, flapping his arms like chicken wings*
 * Echo: What is he doing?
 * Statyx: *chuckles* It's his infamous "chicken routine"; it never fails to start a fight.
 * Fou: *lands in front of Echo, raises his butt, and (literally) shakes his tail-feathers at Echo* Bawk bawk!
 * Echo: *embarrased/disgusted/angry look on her face* Grrrah! *kicks at Fou*
 * [When Echo opens her eyes, she sees Fou standing on her leg, clucking and pecking at her leg]
 * Echo: Grrrr! *swings at Fou, who jumps and avoids it, causing Echo to stumble*
 * Fou: *flutters to the ground, clucking and bawking*
 * Statyx: It's also his most famous comedy routine. Never fails to start a fight, never fails to get some laughs.
 * Echo: Well, I'm not laughing!!
 * Statyx: Because, you're the one he's tring to get mad.
 * Echo: *grabs Fou's tailfeathers in the middle of his taunts* I'm going to go easy on you because you're a kid and have no idea what you're doing. Keep provoking me and you'll wake up breathing through a tube.
 * Sharna:Who's the Brown Chick? Where'd Sonic Go? O Darn! SONIC! Stay away from that Drum Set!
 * Amy:*Jumps from behind Drum Set* I got You now!
 * Sharna:Stay away from meh BoyFriend*Ko's Amy*
 * Sonic:THAT was random.
 * Fou: Hey Echo.
 * Echo: Hm?
 * Fou: Koo-coo, koo-coo.
 * Statyx: *bursts into laughter*
 * Echo: Wait a minute...since when does Sonic have a girlfriend?
 * Sharna:Since last month. That's when Silver left. I've been dating him since. Why'd you ask?
 * Statyx: I can answer that. It's because she li-
 * Echo: *sends soundwave at Statyx*
 * Statyx: *uses thunder shield to block* As I was saying....*takes deep breath* ECHO LIKES SONIC!!
 * Echo: *shocked face, her background shatters*
 * Sharna:*Look totally furious at Echo* Three words: He, is, mine! Yo got that? U GAWT THAT?!?!?
 * Echo: *looks at Sharna, then at Statx for a long time, then runs out the door*
 * Amy: NO ONE'S GOING NEAR MY SONIC!!!!!!
 * Statyx: *facepalms* Oh great, here comes the guilt.
 * Sonic: Uhhhh, don't I get a say in this?
 * Amy & Sharna:  NO !!!!!!
 * Statyx: I wish I could enjoy this, but first I have to go find Echo *turns around and heads for door* which will be real hard with one foot in my mouth!
 * Fou: Can I come?
 * Statyx: Sorry Fou, not this time. I have to make up for this one, and if you came, well, you might not come back. *heads out door* I don't know if I'm even coming back this time.
 * Statyx: *runs along, spots Echo sitting on cliffside, hides behind tree* Okay, how do I do this without getting killed or having to fight Echo?
 * Echo: *doesn't turn around* I see you.
 * Statyx: *freezes up* Okay, she sounds calm *peeks around tree*
 * [Echo sends a soundwave that narrowly misses Statyx and destroys a nearby tree]
 * Statyx: Okay, so much for that! *runs up tree he was hiding behind as Echo destroys it with soundaves, backflipping upon reaching the top, lands on the ground* Geez Echo, I was-!
 * Echo: *tears welling*
 * Statyx: Oh just perfect! How can I even defend myself when my opponent is crying, and I caused it!?
 * Echo: Just--*throws soundwave* leave--*soundwave* me-- *soundwave* be!! *throwing multiple soundwaves*
 * Statyx: But--*dodges soundwave* it was--*dodges* a joke! *dodges soundwaves*
 * Echo: *crying* YOU THINK IT WAS FUNY TO HUMILIATE ME LIKE THAT!!!??? *sends out a massive soundave*
 * Statyx: *takes defensive stance* *takes soundwave head on, skids backwards*
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Statyx: You're right, it wasn't funny. It was nasty, uncalled for, and wrong.
 * Echo: *clenches teeth* THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT!!?? *sends another powerful blast*
 * Statyx: *takes soundwave directly, skids farther back**heavily breathing* I... don't... know!
 * Echo: Well, I'll beat some sense into you until you know!! *charges at him, headbutts him in the stomach*
 * Statyx: Urk! *grabs Echo's shoulders, hammer throws her away* Echo, I don't wanna fight you!
 * Echo: *still crying* Too bad!! Because I really wanna hurt you!!
 * Statyx: Don't you mean fight?
 * Echo: *sends out a super powerful soundwave, blasting Statyx backwards* No, hurt!! *homing attacks Statyx* I will never forgive you for what you have done, Statyx the Hedgehog!
 * Statyx: *dodges attack* And you have every right to wanna kill me!
 * Echo: Believe me, I want to!
 * Statyx: I just came here to try and apologize!
 * Echo: Too late!! *spindashes Statyx, misses* You humiliated me in front of everyone!! How can you fix that!?
 * Statyx: Hey, that gives me an idea! *Echo spindashes at Statyx, who catches her* Echo wait, I have an idea! I can fix this! *deflects her*
 * Echo: Yeah, like I'm gonna listen to you!! *sends several soundwaves*
 * Statyx: *uses Thunder Shield to block* Will you just listen!?
 * Echo: *charges at Statyx* NO!!! *charges a soundwave in her fist* You announced to the entire room of what was NONE of your business! You're no friend of mine!!
 * Statyx: Well, what about that power of yours!? *jumps to the side*
 * Echo: What do you mean?
 * Statyx: Those blue soundwaves that you used to oh I don't know, try and wipe my mind!!
 * Echo: Is that what you think this is about? I'm well aware that I could erase everyone's mind of that memory, including yours! I couldn't care less that Sonic now knows my feelings. This has nothing to do with him!! *runs up to Statyx and punches him in the mouth*
 * Statyx: *on the ground, coughs up a little blood* Damn, I thought this was just about being embarrassed, but this is way worse. You actually trusted me, and I broke that trust.
 * Echo: W-what!? I never trusted you!
 * Statyx: *smirks* Yeah, that's why you're trying to kill me while crying.
 * Echo: *touches cheek, notices tears*
 * Statyx: I did the one thing I swore I'd never do to my friends. You trusted me, and I ruined that. *stands up straight* Okay, go ahead.
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Statyx: *thumbs to cheek* If all I've just said is true, then take your best shot. Hit me with your strongest punch. Then, if that's not enough, just keep going. I owe you that much.
 * Echo: ...okay, you're right. I did trust you. You were one of the few people I had ever trusted in a long time...but no matter how many times I may hit you, even if it comes down to killing you, that won't make me feel any better. Worse, actually. ...Why...why does history have to repeat itself for me...*turns her back to him* you can say you're 'sorry' as many times as you feel. Because even though I may forgive you, I can't trust you anymore... *runs off*
 * Statyx: Echo! *dashes after her*
 * Echo: Leave me alone!
 * Statyx: *Chaos Controls in front of her* Hold it!
 * Echo: No!! *turns around*
 * Statyx: *grabs her arm* You're gonna listen, wether you want to or not.
 * Echo: *tears welling, pulls at her arm, falls to her knees*
 * Statyx: Listen Echo, people make mistakes. It's just a natural part of life.
 * Echo: *pulls her arm out of Statyx's grip* You have no right to say that to me! You have no idea what my "mistakes" have cost me, and others! My "mistakes" have cost people their lives!
 * Statyx: *looks at his open hand* ..... *flashback. A red hedgehog is seen on the ground, walls and roofts crumbling, holding out his hand. "P-please, h-help me."* ....You aren't the only one...
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Statyx: You aren't the only one.... who's made mistakes.... who've cost people their lives.
 * Echo: ... ... ... ...j-just... *stands up* ...
 * [begins to rain]
 * Echo: ... *starts walking back to the direction of the cabin*
 * Statyx: ....Echo....
 * Sonic: *leaning on a tree next to the cabin* (I wonder if Echo's okay...*flashback* *Echo running after Sonic, Sonic running for his life* *shudders* Then again, maybe I should be worried about Statyx.
 * Echo: *head down, walking up to the cabin*
 * Sonic: Huh? Hey, Echo! *walks up to her* Are you okay? Where's Statyx?
 * Echo: *lifts her hand, places it on Sonic's forehead, lets out soundwave*
 * Sonic: *screaming* *on his knees, holding his head* Ugh, what'd you do that...for...ugh...*pass out*
 * Sharna: NOBODY HURT MY SONIC!!! *running towards Echo*
 * Echo: *steps to the side, blasts Sharna unconsious* Hmph. Two down. *walks into the cabin, looks around* Come on out, Phoenix. You want a fight? Get ready!
 * Fou: *comes out of kitchen* Hey Echo! Are we gonna start-*stares at Echo for a few seconds, walks up to her* Echo, wy are you sad?
 * Echo: W-what? I'm not sad!
 * Fou: Yes you are. I can see it.
 * Echo: Oh yeah, how?
 * Fou: *irises glowing slightly* I don't know, I just can. You're sad about something. What is it?
 * Echo: None of your business!
 * Fou: But Echo, I can't fight you when you're sad.
 * Echo: Really, why?
 * Fou: Because if I hurt you, then I'll just be adding to the hurt, and I don't like that.
 * Echo: Fine. Then I'll just skip to the end. *puts her hand on Fou's forehead* Hold still, and I'll try not to make it hurt.
 * Fou: Try and make what not hurt? What are you gonna do?
 * Echo: You don't want to know.
 * Fou: .....Okay!
 * Echo: W-what?
 * Fou: You're my friend, and I trust you. So, go ahead and do, whatever it is you want to do.
 * Echo: .....
 * Fou: Well Echo, go ahead!
 * Echo: *hand starts shaking*
 * Fou: Huh? You're hand's shaking.
 * Echo: *tears welling* .....Why?
 * Fou: Her, let me help! *leans foward, putting Echo's hand directly on his forehead*
 * Echo: Why? Why..... does he trust me so completely?
 * Fou: Well, weren't you gonna do something?
 * Echo: Why? Why does he trust me!?
 * They see something falling out of the sky*
 * ???AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I'M GONNA!!!!!!!!! KILL YOU SHADOOOOWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * I deleted the conversation so we could continue. Don't know what you're gonna do with the Kimberly bit though. Anyway, you're up to bat Shelly.
 * Echo: *hand continues to shake* (...I have to stop hesitating...but...I just don't understand...why he would just trust me like this...) ...(...no...)... *takes hand off Fou's forehead* *on her knees, sobbing*
 * Fou: *puts hand on Echo's shoulder*
 * Echo: *looks at Fou's hand, then Fou*
 * Fou: *tilts head* What's wrong Echo?
 * Echo: ...Fou... *wipes away her tears* ...I...I...I don't...know who to trust anymore...I thought I could trust Statyx, but...
 * Fou: Hey! Don't talk about Statyx like that!
 * Echo: *surprised* Huh?
 * Fou: Statyx has taken care of me for years! He's saved my life too many times to count! Sure, Statyx isn't perfect, and he can make mistakes, but if I had to put my life in anyone's hands, Statyx would be my first choice!
 * Echo: .......
 * Fou: And if not Statyx, you would be one of the first people I would choose.
 * Echo: ...
 * Fou: ...
 * Echo: *stands up* ... *walks out the door*
 * Fou: Echo, where are you going?
 * Echo: To clear my head. *passes by a *
 * Statyx: *leaning back on a tree, looking up*
 * Echo: *spots Statyx, stops*
 * Statyx: *notices Echo, looks at the ground*
 * Echo: .....Why are you out here?
 * Statyx: Huh?
 * Echo: *looks away* It's cold and raining. Shouldn't you be inside?
 * Statyx: *looks up* Nah, I actually like the rain.
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: *holds up his open hand, looks at it. lets small sparks out* Eh, I just like the feel of it.
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Statyx: You see, with my powers, I can't go into bodies of water. The rain at least lets me feel what water is like.
 * Echo: ... *continues walking, passes by Statyx* ...
 * Statyx: Echo I.... I'm sorry alright? I know that it doesn't mean much, but I thought I should at least tell you.
 * Echo: *still walking* ...it's fine.
 * Statyx: It doesn't sound like it's alright.
 * Echo: It's a stupid rumor. It dosen't mean I'll never speak to you again.
 * Twister: Your tellin me, I got a bunch of rebuilt robots on my tail, SEE YA1 *zooms off as a horde of SWATbots chase Twister*
 * 6k.
 * Statyx: That's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about, is if you'll ever trust me again.

sry kag my hi-bye moment occured
 * Echo: Like I said, it's fine...
 * Statyx: Hmph. Even when she forgives me, it still feels like she hates me. *walks toward Echo* Well Echo, if you've forgiven me, what brought about the sudden change in attitude?
 * Echo: Just the fact that no one will remember any of this.
 * Statyx: And why, or how, is that?
 * Echo: *emits soundwaves from her hands to show him what she did*
 * Statyx: I see. Well, I assume that you especially made sure to take care of Sonic and Sharna, but what about Fou?
 * Echo: *stops, makes fist* Err...he put up too good a fight.
 * Statyx: *smirks* He got to ya, didn't he?
 * Echo: Err, what, makes you say that?
 * Statyx: Several things. For one, while Fou is powerful, I don't think he'd beat you. Even then, if the fight had gotten serious, that cabin over there wouldn't be standing. What's more, if Fou felt like he wouldn't be able to win the fight, he would've flown right to me. Also, I deffinately know how Fou fights, so if he had been too much for you, it would deffinately. Oh and finally, if there's one thing I know about you, it's that you would never admit that someone put up too much of a fight for you.

I can't believe you misspelled "cabin" -.-|
 * Echo: WHADDYA WANT FROM ME?!

Sue me for making a mistake.
 * Statyx: Whoa! What has you so riled up?
 * Echo: *panting, calms down, walks away*
 * Statyx: Alright, that's it! *runs in front of Echo* You've been all over the emotional map today, so what gives?
 * Echo: Read my lips. It. Is. Fine. Now quit following me all day like you're lost.
 * Statyx: No, it's not. If you've got something to say, say it.
 * Echo: I don't have anything to say.
 * Statyx: Echo, you've been off the wall today! You keep this bottled up, it will drive you insane!
 * Echo: It's fi--*Statyx covers Echo's mouth* Mmm! Hmm?!
 * Stayx: ....You know what Echo, I just don't get you. There are people who've suffered just as much as you, who've seen just as much horrible sights as you, and they don't have the luxury of being able to talk to someone. But people want nothing more than to help you with your hurt, and you push them away. Why?
 * Echo: ... ... ... ...because the last time someone ever said they wanted to "help" me, they wound up doing the opposite of just that.
 * Statyx: Yeah, well that doesn't mean that everyone you meet is gonna betray you.
 * Echo: *sigh* I knew you wouldn't understand...you're just like everyone else. You just love to exploit other peoples weaknesses, don't you.
 * Statyx: What? Echo, that's not true!
 * Echo: I don't want to hear any more of your lies, Statyx the Hedgehog. *walks past him, nudges him*
 * Statyx: .....*whips around and grabs Echo's arm* You know what, I've had enough of you Echo!
 * Echo: Let me go!
 * Statyx: You think you're the only one who's had their fair share of trouble? You think you're the only one who's seen the worst the world has to offer? Well news flash, you're not!
 * Echo: Oh yeah? Then who else!?
 * Statyx: Me!
 * Echo: What?
 * Statyx: *lets go of Echo's arm* I have seen men, women, and children die right in front of me, and not be able to do a thing about it. I've seen great people reduced to nothing by their own ambitions. I've had to fight for my life more times than I can count! I've even killed people who did the right thing rather than follow orders! But unlike you, I don't have anyone to open up to.
 * Echo: *confused look* What?
 * Statyx: *turns around* I always have to be strong. Fou, Blaze, Shadow, Silver; I have to be strong for so many people, for so many reasons. I can't afford to show any signs of weakness. I can't spill my heart out to anyone, I can't relieve this burden... *clenches fist* grrraaaggghhh!!! *slams tree with fist, blasting a hole through it*
 * Echo: *steps back* ......
 * Statyx: *looks at Echo* That's why I don't get you. People are willing to let you show weakness, they're willing to share your burden with you, and you just push them away. But you know what?
 * Echo: W-what?
 * Statyx: I'd give anything for a chance to let my guard down. To be able to show my weakness, and not have it used against me. To be seen as a person, with my own troubles, and my own scars... *looks down at the ground* ...and not as a weapon. Not as a warrior, not as.... *looks up at the still raining sky* "The Ultimate Guardian".
 * Echo: ... ... ...
 * Statyx: ... ... ...
 * Echo: ...*clenches fist*
 * Fou: *flies over* Guys, what's going on out here?!
 * Echo: ...
 * Statyx: ...
 * Fou: *notices blasted tree* Whoa! Hey, are you guys gonna fight?
 * Both: *keeping quiet*
 * Fou: Uhhhh, guys?
 * Statyx: *lets out deep breath* Go home Fou

Fou: But-!
 * Statyx: *serious tone* Fou, go home.
 * Fou: *looks at Statyx and Echo* .....okay. *flies off*
 * Echo: *flashback* Sure, Statyx isn't perfect, and he can make mistakes, but if I had to put my life in anyone's hands, Statyx would be my first choice. *flashback ends* Could that be what he means, about always having to be strong for others?
 * Echo: ...I.. can't have anyone close to me...not like you, Statyx...you have friends that will be at your side for eternity. For my own reasons, I can't. No matter what happens, if I bring anyone close, anyone at all...*teardrop* ...then...
 * ???: *looking at Echo and Statyx from a tree* Oh, these two look so...sad....should I try to help, or should I just stay away...so many questions

(yeah, do you guys mind if i join in?) Eh, go nuts.
 * Statyx: Then what?
 * Echo: *starts crying*
 * Statyx: *sighs, turns around* You have to have more faith in people Echo. True friends will stand by you, no matter what. No matter what your mistakes you've made, no matter what scars you have, friends will stand by you. Sure, they'll make mistakes, but when the chips are down, they'll come through. Friends allow you to live, to laugh, to love. But most of all *puts hand on Echo's shoulder* they remind you that you're a person, and that you don't have to be alone in this world. Believe me Echo, I've lived this, and learned it.

Eh, her character, her character page, her choice.


 * ???:Maybe I'll just act normal, so they dont know that i'm going to help them *jumps down from tree quietly, walks behind it, and walks casually towards Echo and Statyx* Um...excuse me...Sir and Ma'am...can you help me? i'm lost and i really need to get home.


 * Echo: Can't help 'ya there, sister.

 * Statyx: Sorry miss, but this is a rather personal discussion.
 * ???: Ohh, couples trouble?
 * [Echo and Statyx stare at her for a while, then look at Statyx's hand on Echo's shoulder. Both of them jump away frantically]
 * Statyx: Whoa whoa lady, I'm called for!
 * ???: And what about you miss?
 * Echo: *blushing, gaze darting about* I uh, well...
 * Statyx: There's someone she's interested in.
 * Echo: Looks at Statyx, eyes wide*
 * Statyx: *smirks slightly* But, that's her business.
 * Echo: *lets out a deep sigh of relief*
 * Remember? That's what started this whole thing! ^_^
 * Kalone: Oh, well haha, dont worry! I'm not going to force you to tell me anything about you! It's nice ta meet ya, I'm Kalone!
 * Echo: *sniffs the air* Good, you could use some.
 * Statyx: This coming from the girl who lives in some tree most of the time.

''er, thats not how her name is pronounced. it sounds like Kal-on-ee, short a, short o, and long e''

Kalone:great, another one who pronounces my name wrong Er, anyway, so, what has been bothering you, well, like i said you don't have to tell me. I'm just curious
