A/N: This video from life is strange inspired me to make the next chapter. Enjoy.

Sonics POV

I sped all around town but not one glimpse of that green hoodie. That's when something sped across me. It was like my speed but with Neon color. I recalled what one of the campers said, "Then he took off at a speed of light. And I mean neon light." That's right this Flarelight can possibly run as fast I can. It reminded me so much of my old childhood friend. Rika Flora. She can run as fast as me. Jericho took care of her just like Longclaw did with me. Although Jericho was Longclaws old flame. She and Jericho were in love once. But they had to spend time apart due to Longclaws father 'Featherbrave' telling them they can't be together yet. They use to tease me and Rika in a fun way that we may be together forever... And all because I gave Rika a flower. I looked around a little more. That's when I noticed a medium size crowd. Gathered at that new Greenhills church. There she stood. On top of the steeple was Flarelight. This all made sense to me now. Since Julie was beaten pretty badly due to her mother forcing her to go to that cruel gay away camp. It made her feel angry for what Mrs. Andrews had done. That's when I heard her shout, "YOU HOMOPHOBICS SHOULDA DONE ANYTHING TO SAVE JEWEL BUT NO!! YOU ALL LEFT HER TO SUFFER!! AND NOW SHES GONE!! I WILL NOT STOP MAKING ALL OF YOU SUFFER THE WAY THESE GAY PEOPLE HAD!!" With no time to spare I sped to the top of the church and shouted, "STOP!!" She turn to me and said in a disgust tone, "Ugh fuck. You again?!" I then replied as I walked to her, "Hey watch the language miss Firefly." She shouted with anger, "It's pronounced Flarelight asshole!!" I continued walking towards her as she said, "Stop right there!! Do not come anywhere near me!!" I stopped and said, "You don't need to do this. This won't solve your problem." Flarelight said as I can see she had tears in her eyes, "What do you even know? What Lacey did was unacceptable. From all the cruelty she did to Jewel this was the worst. Jewel is gone because of her." I then said, "No she's not." She shouted while I caught a glimpse of tears going down her face, "YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE!! I LOST MY MOTHER AND MY FATHER, THEN I LOSE MY CARETAKER, AND MY TWO FRIENDS THAT I ONCE HAD!!! AND NOW I LOST JEWEL!!" I softly said, "You didn't lose her. Besides her fa..." I trailed off as I asked, "Wait what did you just say??" She replied, "I lost my two friends and caretaker. I lost my mother and father when I was a baby." I don't know why but I had to ask one question to her. I asked, "Was your caretaker named Jericho?" That shocked her immediately I can tell. She asked, "Yes how did you know?" She then said, "Doesn't matter. I..." I then said, "Lacey Andrews is in prison, awaiting trial. Mr. Andrews called the police on her when you reasoned with him to love and support Julie and he shouldn't care if she's gay." She looked at me as she said as her tone began to lighten up, "What? He did? My God.. I didn't think that would happen." I then walked closer to her and said, "Julie is okay. She has been admitted to the hospital. Don't do this to yourself Flarelight. Your better than this." She asked in a low tone, "How do you know??" I replied to her, "I feel like I known you before but I don't know if I had..." she interrupted rudely and upset-like, "How's so??" She then said in a soft tone, "You know now that I think about this. you look familiar." I walked closer to her and said, "My caretaker Longclaw told me that no matter what happens, we can never face our problems alone." She was stunned and gasped at the mention of Longclaw. She then asked, "Longclaw??? Wait...Sonic!?" I stopped as she said my name. This Flarelight is undoubtedly none other than Rika. My conscious was confirm the moment Flarelight took her hoodie off. I know that blue-orchid fur and magenta eyes anywhere. She was in tears. I muttered as I walked to her, "...Rika?" Rika stuttered and said, "Oh my God... Sonic.. I-It really is you. But I don't understand... How? I thought you perished with Longclaw?" I replied, "Please stand down and I'll explain everything to you." I reached my hand and said, "Take my hand Rika. Trust me." She was hesitant before she grabbed my hand and stumbled when she took about a few steps towards me. She said to me as she was hugging me, "I'm so sorry... so sorry. I didn't even recognize you. I forgot what you looked like." I said to her as I hugged her back, "What are you talking about? You actually saved Julie and opened her fathers eyes." The rain died down as she muttered to me, "Oh Sonic I thought I lost you along with Jericho and the others." I replied, "I thought the same thing with you. But I never thought you're actually here." Rika started crying softly. I don't know how she got here but we'll both haft to answer each other's questions later. Though things got a little awkward when one of the two people said, "Oh how romantic. They're hugging." I shouted, "I'm just comforting her it doesn't count." I rolled my eyes, thinking the whole teasing is about to start all over again.
