Soon it was dusk, and we set up camp. Ciara's consciousness(I don't know what to call it) kept cussing when they switched bodies, and Silver became so frustrated he kicked a tree. Long story short they ended up sitting together on a log farther back.
I used my sword to chop some firewood from the forest. The chopping noise satisfied me. I picked up the wood and hovered back to our makeshift camp. Then I set it in the middle and lit it up.
We sat around the fire in silence. I took out my sword and some daggers and placed them in a neat row next to me. I take a small piece of wood and fashion it into a sharpening block. It was wood, but it will do for now.
As I sharpen my sword, I glance up to see Scourge asleep, and Sonic and Shadow staring at me intently. "Want to try?" I say sarcastically and hold up a dagger. Shadow looks away, and Sonic flinches. "You guys need better weapons than those." I mutter. I hate guns. I chuck a dagger at each of them. "Here."
They look at me. Sonic picks it up really fast and hides it in his quills. "Thanks." he mumbles. Shadow just stares at it on the floor. What's his problem? He's been all weird since he met me.
I pack away my weapons and lean back. I look at the galaxy of stars swirling in the sky. As the star and the earth connect. And with that thought, I fell into a dreamless sleep.

I awoke at the crack of dawn. I yawn and sit up, stretching. I feel the back of my head, and realize my hair is a crows nest. Shoot. I frantically pull out my minimized bag and enlarged it. The two necessities I did remember to bring: a brush and hair ties. I brush my hair until there are no tangles, the proceeded to put my hair in a bun.
I got up and went to the cliff. I sit down and dangle my legs over the side. I breathe in the crisp air and sigh. I watch the sunrise in a trance, engulfed by its beauty. I barely notice someone has sat down beside me.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" It was Shadow. I stared at him, surprised he was actually talking to me. "Yeah." I manage to stutter. He simply looks out. We sit there for a little, but then he gets up and walks away.
Soon after, Silver(with his gold eyes) comes up and sit with me. His quills brush my shoulder.
We sit there in silence. I occasionally feel his gazes turned to me. Then he does something I didn't expect.
I felt his hand on mine.
I inhaled sharply and turned to him. And there was only one thing I saw in his eyes.

Love.
