"Come on! It'll be fun!" Julie-Su said.
"No, I don't think it will." Knuckles said.
"Please?!" Julie-Su pleaded.
Knuckles sighed.
"I guess."
"Great! Let's go!" Julie-Su said. "Besides," she thought, "it'll take your mind off Rouge."
The two walked into a dojo. It was run by Espio the Chameleon.
"Hello. I see you've received my invitation." Espio welcomed them.
"So, what are we going to be learning?" Julie-Su asked.
"Just a few of my ninja techniques." Espio said.
"Great..." Knuckles said.
Julie-Su got in a fighting stance.
"Alright, are my feet far enough apart?" she asked.
"Perfect." Espio said.
Back at Gaia House, Chip was cleaning up the rooms. He looked out the window. Elise glared right at him, eyes glowing pink. He waved at her, but she walked away.
"Hm...that was quite odd..." Chip said.
"So, how do you turn invisible?" Knuckles asked.
"Well, I'm a chameleon, so..." Espio replied.
"I mean, can you show us how?"
"Well, you have to focus all of your energy and will it to happen." Espio replied. "Why, a former student of mine used her invisibility to locate her friend, Sonic."
"Was her name Amy?" Knuckles asked.
"Yes. How did you know?" Espio replied.
"Ah, nevermind. Let me practice turning invisible." Knuckles said. "Argh!"
Knuckles grunted and yelled in his fighting stance. After numerous times, he finally managed to turn invisible...for a split second.
"A second is better than nothing." Espio said. "Now you try Julie-Su."
Julie-Su tried, and managed to become invisible for a few minutes.
"Good job!" Espio praised.
"I'm gonna go outside." Knuckles said.
"Now, for some shuriken throwing work." Espio said. He threw a shuriken at the direct center of a target board.
Julie-Su did as well, and almost hit the target.
"It could use some improvement." Espio noted.
"Ah, look at the time. I'd better head back to the Detective Agency. I hope to see you again." Espio said.
"Uh...me too." Julie-Su said.
She walked outside, and kicked down some trash cans.
"I shouldn't be feeling this way! He's supposed to be my soulmate, not Espio!" she thought.
"So how'd it go?" Knuckles asked.
"Um, good." Julie-Su said.
"I guess I'll keep going with you." Knuckles said.
"Great!" Julie-Su beamed.
She grabbed ahold of Knuckles' hand.
"Julie-Su..." Knuckles said.
"Yes?"
His eyes glowed white, and so did hers. They leaned in together, and kissed.
Cream went walking out in the forest. Cream looked over the pictures Red Coat- could it be Amy?- sent her. It was of her mother in a gray coat, dropping a lighter by a lodge in the Soleanna Forest. Another picture was of Vanilla knocking Cream out with the same lighter. There was also a picture of Vanilla and Elise pouring gasoline on the lodge.
"Cream?" a voice called.
"What do you want?" Cream asked.
"I need to tell you the truth."
