Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Oh..... My bad. sweatdrop ))

Soul nodded, patronizing her. When he was sure she was dozing, he muttered, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." He thought for a moment and added, "And if you have time, defeat and capture Rome for yourself. Anybody who is anybody has to do that." He smirked to himself at the joke his old Social Studies teacher once said. "Hmph, bet if Palmer was here he'd freak at being an animal, then take charge. I wonder how he'd take it, considering he probably never even heard of Sonic besides the shirts I wore. Ah well." He was swinging the branch around as he did so, and he threw it up in the air, let it fall behind him, and he grabbed it and swung it forward. He blinked. "Heh, that was cool." He tried again, and failed miserably, the stick bonking him on the head. He sighed and picked up the stick again, and decided to let the fancy maneuvers stay with Super, and not to attempt them again.

"Do you ever actually sleep?" Soul asked aloud, even though he was resonaly certain she was out like a light this time. He turned around and scratched his back quills, thinking to himself. Times like this he wished he had watch, so he could easily regulate time for himself and for the night guard situation. "Probably should of just stayed in the Station, small chance Chaos zero would come to my apartment just to kill me and the girls."

Stephanie clentched onto the tree slightly, and tucked her legs and tail in. She was cold, and starting to have dreams that she was in a blizzard, or knee deep in water. Though after turning over and curling up again, she seemed to not be in such a distraught state of mind. But suddenly, she must have had a dream that something was coming up at her face, she lifted her arm and thonked the tree at full force.
"Ow!" She blurted, sitting up into a cross legged position. "Ah man....." She whined, slightly rubbing her wrist. "I can't sleep around here." In her usual gesture, Stephanie grabbed onto her crossed leg, and leaned backwards. Usually after this she would stay down a while, and then lean back upwards into her normal position. Only this time, it was cut short.

Konk!

"Auch, ow!" Stephanie shouted slightly. Her head had made full contact with the tree behing her, and now she was back down, head up against the tree. "Rrr...heck with it I'm just gonna stay this way." With a stubborn huff Stephanie crossed her legs at the ankle, put her hands on her stomache, and stared out in frustration into the air. More than likley it was in Soul's vacinity, but she wasn't trying to. She was just mad.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Stephanie grunted with one eye closed, rubbing the side of her head slightly. For the most part bangs to the head didn't really affect her, since she had done it all the time in her bedroom when she was younger, though usually it was when she was reading a book and forgot how hard the wall was. She soon noticed that she had pushed her hat out of place so she lifted herself up slightly, straightened it out, and flopped back. Only when she hit it again, it caused the hat to become askew once more. Half closing her eyelids and purgin her lip slightly in a truly annoyed half smirk, she took the hat off swiftly and put it onto her stomache, which she replaced her hands on.

After cooling off slightly, Stephanie exhaled through her nose and looked up at the sky. It seemed to be alot brighter to her now...maybe it was because she was starting to remember what she was, or that it was starting to get closer to dawn.... Or at least three or four hours off. Who knew. Suddenly, Stephanie remembered that she had dog senses, so she had dog everything too..... "Hm....maybe I can touch my nose with my tongue!" She thought with random happyness.

Scootching herself up a bit, Stephanie stuck out her tongue to see what she was working with here. It was pretty long, alot longer than her normal one was. So, with a small smirk she crossed her eyes, and began to reach desperatley with her new found apendige. As she tried harder and harder, she tilted her head slightly, and continued. But once she realized it was fruitless, she aimed down more and felt it touch her lower muzzle.
"Oh duh, longer face longer nose. That was stupid of me." She said to herself.

Stephanie jumped out of her skin when Margy popped up from the ground. "Jeez!" She shouted, hopping backwards on her rear. But when she noticed it was Margy, she gave a small sigh and started laughing. "Man, you sure are enjoying that aren't cha?" She then saw Margy attempting to pull herself out, and lifted herself up and held her hands out towards the little hamster. "Need a hand?"

"Ok on 3. 1......2.....3!" Stephanie pulled the little hamster's arms up as hard as she could, the little body just bursting to inch out of the whole. She could feel Margy kicking and flailing her legs under the whole, and gave one more slow, lurching tug until-

Pop!

Margy flopped out of the whole, and Stephanie reeled backwards and landed in the bushes. Only she didn't land on anything soft, but metal. She rubbed the back of her head sorley, and squinted one eye open to see what it was. "Ow man, that really-" She opened her eye and saw something very odd, but sort of familiar. "Hey guys!" Stephanie called to her friends. "Check this out." She scooted back a little and looked at what was an odd metal circle. It was in the middle of no where, but around it was a clearing, so it almost looked as if it were ment to be there. "Hm....it kinda looks like one of the circles that you guy into when you get an upgrade item.... Like Light Speed Dash or something..." She said it to herself, and sort of to the others.

((Trying to help Soulie get his itemem, but if I'm moving too fast with it just say so.))
