Val looked around and spotted a cafe she always used to go to, "Emerald Cafe," she said softly, "Mom used to go there all the time." she said walking over to the cafe.

Then we'll start here. If anyone asks, I'm your pet dog and my name is Ghost, got it? He said, padding alongside her. Scarlet perched on Val's shoulder and chirpped happily.

Val nodded, she walked inside, "Valery?" a red hedgehog asked, "Uncle Hedge?" the hedgehog hugged his neice, "Where have you been all this time?" he asked.

Ghost swished his tail and grinned as he watched this. Still wanna be an enchilada, Hedge? He thought. Scarlet looked at Hedge curiously. "....~??"

Val smiled, "Oh, you know, just protecting the streets." Hedge chuckled, "Of course, well, you look like you need some food in ya, hot cocoa and chocolate muffin on the house." Val smiled, "Of course."

Ghost lay down under a table and yawned, keeping a watchful eye on Val, Hedge, and Scarlet. His dark eyes almost seemed to glow from the shadows.

Hedge noticed this, "And who's this?" he asked with a smile, "My dog, Red." she replied.

'Red' swished his tail and rested his chin on his paws. Scarlet chirpped as if to say 'Hey! Don't forget about me!!"

Val smiled, "And this is Scarlet." Hedge nodded, "Well, Pyro is coming in a few minutes, so why don't you get comfortable." Val nodded, she sat down.

(Guess who is going to come with Pyro)

(Kit?)

Scarlet chripped and nuzzled Val happily.

Red padded over and sat beside Val. Good thing he didn't try to pet me, huh? He said via telepathy. Hedge hasn't changed much since I've last seen him... Well, he's older, but personality speaking. I wonder if he still has that Hawk's Eye I asked Sonic to deliver...
