"Woah..." Sonic said, surprised that Eclipse had found another Chaos emerald. "At this rate, you might be a better treasure hunter than Knuckles! Don't tell him I said that," Two emeralds, red and purple. Wait, now that they had two in thier possession, somebody would come after them. He dashed inside and came out with a piece of paper and a thread. "You dont mind playing messenger for a bit, do you?"

(Now I know how harry potter owls feel XD)
Eclipse nods and watches Sonic.

TD wonders around a city,Invisable of course, looking for something to do. He helped someones pet...Snake out of a tree. What little girl has a pet snake named fluffy! (I would! I love snakes I own a bunch right now.)
TD shakes his head what next a girl with a pet trantula! (*Raises hand slowly* guilty as charged.)

(i wouldn't mind having a snake myself. not sure 'bout tarantulas, though)

Sonic tied the paper around her leg, tight enough that it wouldn't fall off, but loose enough to be comfortable. "How fast do you think you can get this to Angel Island?"

(I breed snakes for a living. Maybe one day I can give you one just what size would you prefer. I have the small hognoses and two difrent size Redtail boas. One of the type of redtail boas are from somewere else so they don't grow as big as the other type wich can get at least 10 feet long.)
Eclipse ruffles her feathers challenge accepted! She flys off and within 30 minutes she was at angel Island. She landed right in front of knuckles and hoots.
(Also trantulas are cool they don't bite inless you scare them. Though I have found pet store trantulas are more aggressive then wild ones. Wild ones are pretty dang tame.)

(i can't get either for two reasons; one, mom is terrified of both, and two, I have a pet bird, and some snakes eat birds. maybe one day.)

Knuckles blinked when he saw the owl descending, and nodded greeting when he saw it was Eclipse. He saw the paper around her leg and crouched down to untie it. He read over the paper a couple times,

I can't give away too much information, in case this falls into the
wrong hands. Not that I don't trust Eclipse. we have two chaos
emeralds now, and with past experiences, someone will come after
them as soon as word gets out. Someone ALWAYS comes
after them. We should probably start searching for the rest as soon
as possible.

"I just got back....." Knuckles muttered. The letter was in loose, rushed print, so it was probably Sonic who wrote it. I'm going to regret this. I WILL regret this. He huffed and set the paper aside, looking at the M.E. Well? Nothing. He looked at Eclipse.

"Okay,"

(Look up hognose snakes and see how small they are I also would say a male hognose is better as they are tiny.) Eclipse hoots and flys of back to her base. She needed to give Metal these books and other things. When She got back home she already knew TD was not there but Metap was so she gave the books to him,After turning back into her true form first. She sends TD a message to get Tails as he can teach Metal things and he is more understanding. Eclipse just wants to tell one of her friends about her team and new family. So TD waits in tails house till he is alone then appears before him looking as non threateningly as possible. TD has never met Tails yet so he wants to make a good impresion.

Tails fur stood straight up for a second when he noticed the Tails Doll. He laughed nervously, his internal alarm going nuts."Heh, hi?" He said, realizing that he was involuntarily rubbing his arm. What am I so afraid of? It's not a demon or anything, it, or he, just looks creepy. "C-can I help you?" Shoot, I'm stammering now.

TD sighs "Sorry even when I try not to be scary I'm still scary heh..."TD rubs the back of his head.
"Well.....anyway Eclipse told me to bring you to her as she wanted to tell you things." He shrugs "She told me you would be more understanding unlike sonic and as she said especially knuckles." Well this was awkward TD wasen't a people person but he is trying.

"Yeah, Sonic would become a bodyguard and Knuckles would either put as much space between you both as possible or-- well he's more of a fighter so yeah," Tails said. "So what do I need to know?"

"She would like to tell you herself follow me." He floats to the base after making sure Tails was following him. He opens the door and after they are in he shuts it. "Eclipse is in the living room." He takes Tails to the living room were Eclipse waits them nervously holding the gem around her neck. TD then leaves off to do some of his work and leaves the two of them alone.
