The Seven Medallions

Episode 12

Pipers POV
"Piper..." A voice called out in the distance as I was engulfed in bright, brilliant light. "Piper, can you hear me?"
"Who's there?" I asked the voice. I could see nothing. Everything was white. The vastness of the color was truly blinding to my eyes. "Where am I?"
"It is not a matter of where you are, but when." The voice called out to me. Suddenly I felt myself being drawn into a vortex. It was harder to breathe. I screamed out.

I woke up in my bed on the Blue Typhoon.
My head was pounding and my hands were shaking. Sweat poured down my face as I thought about my dream. Thank goodness it was only that. It all seemed so strange. The voice, the vortex, the blinding white. One particular comment though really hit me.

It is not a matter of where you are, but when.

What did it mean?
You can't time travel in a dream, can you?
Luckily I woke up just before I figured that out.
But who was that voice?
I looked around.
And how did I get here? In the Blue Typhoon? In my bed?

I scratched my head and went out of my room and into the ships kitchen.
My stomach was growling, and I knew I had to eat, because something told me that I missed dinner. It was about 2 am, after all.
The doors to the kitchen flew open and I saw a familiar face sitting behind a bowl of green mints.

"Hi Tails," I said, plopping down next to the yellow fox.
"Piper!" He said through a mouthful of mints. "You are awake!"
"Yes, alive and well," I laughed. "What are you doing down here?"
"I could ask you the same question."
"Well I asked it first."
Tails sighed. "I couldn't sleep. I've just got a few things on my mind, that's all." He looked at me with tired eyes. "What are you doing down here so late, err, early?"
I shrugged and took the few mints that were left in the bowl. "I missed dinner."

"Do you want me to make something for you?" He asked me.
"No that's ok! I can figure something out." I swiveled out of the chair and hopped over to the kitchen. I got out a bunch of ingredients: bread, eggs, powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and more. I set the oven to the perfect temperature and prepped the pan. Tails watched in amazement as I made French toast; from scratch and from memory.

Tails and I had just finished our plates of French toast.
"Where on Möbius did u learn to cook like that?" He asked, cleaning off the last of his plate. "That was the best!"

"I bake when I'm worried, or stressed, or both.." I said, putting our dishes in the sink. "By the way, what happened after I fell asleep?"
Tails yawned. "While you guys were gone, Amy, Knuckles and I got to work on the Blue Typhoon. We fixed her up, and set the coordinates to where we were originally in space before we got transported here. When you guys got back, you were sleeping like a baby. Shadow filled us three in on the situation when you docked. Sonic was pretty angry that you guys strayed off, but was glad that you found the medallion. He was quite worried about you though." Tails thought for a moment. "Clair was awfully quiet though through the whole conversation. Do you know why?"

I thought about the whole reason we initially strayed off; Shadow and his "friend's" video chat. Should I tell Tails? Maybe he would know why Shadow has been acting suspicious.

Then I remembered Clair and how she trusted Shadow. If she trusted him, then why shouldn't I? Besides, Tails seemed stressed about our situation already. Would telling him about my suspicions only stress him more?

I shook my head. "She is usually the quiet type. I don't see any reason to why she would be acting strange."

Tails looked at me for a moment then shrugged. "Ok, if you say so."
He stood up and rubbed his eyes. "Well, I think I can finally hit the hay. If you need anything else-"
"I'm ok, thanks." I said to Tails. He smiled.
"Hey Piper?"
"Yes?"
"Thanks for the French toast, by the way." 🌟
