     "Maybe we should try and find one of (y/n)'s family members to help?" Blaze suggested.

     "But they may not be any help or panic." Silver pointed out, "They might get in the way."

     "Not if we talk to the right ones." Shadow stated, "If we talk to the ones we know are brave enough, maybe Akela."

     "Do you really know him well enough to trust him?" Amy asked genuinely, Shadow's face was unsure, "and that's what I thought."

     "Well, I think Blaze is right about getting a family member to help." Tails admitted, "We just gotta find the right guy."

    "What're you guys doing?" a sharp voice snapped from the street, a voice that sounded a lot like (y/n).

     Everyone whipped around and saw two figures, one shorter than the other. Both figures looked exactly like (y/n).

     "(y/n)?" Silver dared to call out, "Is that you?" Silver then muttered quietly, "If so which one is her?"

     "(Y/n)?" The smaller one questioned, Shadow noticed this time that her voice was lower than (y/n)'s. How do I know the exact pitch of her voice? Shadow questioned himself.

     "You guys know (y/n)?" The taller one asked, her voice a slight bit deeper than the shorter one.

     Everyone nodded in unison. "Who are you two? You guys look exactly like her." Sonic commented.

     The two stepped forward into the alleyway giving the sextet(group of six) a good look at them. The two looked exactly like (y/n). The same shiny (f/c) fur/feathers/scales, same (e/c) eyes, even the same general body shape.

     "I'm Ebony the (a/t)," the taller and older-looking one said, "I'm (y/n)'s Auntie, and this is my daughter Zinc the (a/t)."

     "What are you guys talking about?" Zinc asked suspiciously, "How does it involve (y/n)?"

     Shadow and Silver shared a glance of "Do we tell them?" Shadow gave the smallest of nods and Silver did the same before turning back to Ebony and Zinc.

     "We had gone out drinking and (y/n) was our bartender," Shadow began, "we work together at a different job so we knew her previously."

     Shadow paused as Ebony still looked suspicious. She gave him a small nod to continue.

     "She got a call and she went outside to answer it," Shadow continued, "she was gone for about 10 minutes and we were concerned so we went to check on her then I got an emergency call from her."

     "I think I've heard enough." Ebony snarled, "How can we help you get her back?"

     Sonic was about to reply when Shadow's watch went off. He immediately answered it and before he could talk a familiar voice began talking.

     "You all need to hurry." (Y/n) snapped, "we've got the owl tryna take us to his leader and (f/n) is hurt. We're in the biggest glass roof building in the city. They're on high alert so be careful."

     "Okay, okay, slow down," Shadow told her, "is there a good entryway? A vent? Anything?"

     "Not really," (y/n) admitted, "the best entrance would probably be the roof."

     "Okay, we'll be there soon." Shadow stated, "Don't die."

(F/n)

     (F/n) winced in pain as (b/f/n)/Beta treated the scratches across his face. "Stop moving so much," She snapped, "if you weren't so twitchy I'd be down by now!"

     "I prefer (b/f/n)," (f/n) commented, "she might be more angry but she's gentler than you!"

     (B/f/n)/Beta sighed. "The things I do for the living," she muttered, "oh yeah, no worries I'll just hang out in this (b/f/a/t)'s body and wait for her to come back."

     "You're complaining about helping us?" (F/n) asked, "really? Out of everything you could complain about?"

     "You don't know what it's like in the afterlife," (b/f/n)/Beta snarled, "Nobody sees you, nobody cares about you, you can't do anything."

     (F/n) rolled his eyes at her. "Oh boohoo, poor you." (F/n) said with a fake pout, "it can't be that bad."

     (B/f/n)/Beta was about to reply before (y/n) interrupted. "Could you two shut up? It's getting really annoying listening to you two bickering."

     (F/n) lowered his head, a bit embarrassed. (Y/n) rarely got mad, so he and (b/f/n)/Beta must've been fairly loud.

     "When are the others gonna get here?" (B/f/n)/Beta asked, she had finished with (f/n) and turned towards (y/n).

"They've got a plan," (y/n) said simply, she didn't look at them, instead she observed a painting on the wall, "they didn't tell me though, most likely a good plan. I trust them."

     "You mean you trust Shadow," (f/n) corrected, "you trust Shadow the most out of the group." (Y/n) didn't reply but (f/n) knew he was right.

     Instead, she changed the subject. "They should be here rather quickly." (Y/n) stated simply.

     "So what are we supposed to do?" (B/f/n)/Beta asked, "Be the pretty princesses that need rescuing?"

     (F/n) laughed while (y/n) glanced over her shoulder with a sharp glare.

     "Well," (f/n) said after he'd stopped laughing, "I know well that (y/n) is far from a Princess that needs rescued."

     "And if anyone thinks that," (y/n) continued, turning towards them, "they will know personally, how wrong they are."

(B/f/n)

     "So I just go into my body and I'll be alive again?" (B/f/n) asked for the 100th time.

     The (b/f/c) (a/t) facepalmed for the 97th time. "Yes! It's not that hard to figure out!" He snapped at her.

     "Okay!" (B/f/n) snapped back, "you don't need to be so moody about it! I've never been dead before, remember?"

     "I'm a ghost," the (a/t) growled, "not stupid. Remember oh-so-great-(b/f/n)-the-(b/f/a/t)?"

     "When can I be alive again?" (B/f/n) asked bitterly, "I'm not sure how much longer I can stand you. I didn't know (y/n)'s family could be so sassy."

     "Yes, that is all I am." He snarled, "Just (y/n)'s older brother and her entire family act just like her."

     (B/f/n) glared at the (b/f/c) (a/t). "Can you please just answer my question (b/n)?"

     (B/n) sighed. "Beta needs to leave your body to give you access to take it back." He explained, "But I have no way of contacting her, so I have to get someone to tell her that you're ready."

     "And if you can't find someone?" (B/f/n) asked impatiently, she realized that (b/n) was no longer paying attention and was now staring at the (e/f/c) (e/a/t), "Hello? (B/n)? Are you alright?"

     "What do you know about (e/n)?" (B/n) asked instead of answering her.

     (B/f/n) thought about it for a moment. "Nothing really, I never really asked (f/n) about her/him."

     (B/n) continued to stare at (e/n) for a long time. "I wonder who wronged her/him."

     "What're you talking about?" (B/f/n) asked, "How do you know that someone did something to her/him?"

     (B/n) sighed. "Never mind," he stated, "let's go check on the others and see if they have a plan."
