CHAPTER 11: "Spy Game" (Part 2) Meanwhile our Arctic Fox came to the settlement of heroes. He didn’t meet anyone at first. But then, Rouge landed behind him. It was the first time both met. [This might be Snow.] – “Hey, handsome.” “Hi, Miss Bat!” – villager had no idea about the oncoming plan. He greet the stranger like usual. The new subject wasn’t prepared for such response. - “Well... Let's call me Rouge, ok?” “Ok!” “Sooo, can you tell me about yourself?” – [simple but efficient question. He’s a great find.] “I'm Mike Clean, also known as Snow. I'm 10 years old and an Arctic Fox.” “Arctic Fox? Never heard of those.” – [Since when there are variations of one kind? Sounds like something made-up.] “We are rare and live only at Ice Cap Zone.” [Hm…] - “I can see that. So, what are you doing here?” “I came to visit my friends. And you can become one!” [Too easy.] – “Friends? What does friendship mean in your opinion?” [My favorite topic!] - “Friends help and support each other. And hug! Would you like to accept one?” [Pretty childish for a spy.] - “Thanks, but I'm not really into hugs.” [Don’t worry! I’m not offended at all.] - “What if I make a gift for you?” “A gift?” – nonchalant tone changed to dreamy impression. - [No one made me gifts before... What if it’s my chance? No. Stay focused.] – Bat cleared throat to throw away this thought. – [It might be a trick, distraction from our topic.] – “What can you offer? We barely know each other.” “Hehe, I am always full of surprises.” “We'll see.” – Rouge left in a rude way: without saying good bye. Who knows, she may just be in hurry. “Bye!” – Snow didn’t consider such farewell as offensive. Again, she might be busy. --- Knuckles waited patiently. Finally, familiar figure appeared in front of him. “So? How was your mission?” “Easier than I expected. He's so talkative…” – [You could say really talkative. Or I’m just used to Shadow’s company?] “What did he told you? Were there anything suspicious?” “His full name is Mike Clean. 10 years. Arctic Fox. Full of surprises.” “We'll lead him to the clean water.” --- Arctic Fox went back to his village. He discovered a new path that allows to travel faster. After like a half of hour, he already reached familiar mountain. Now he went to the market. Mr White was standing there like usual, sorting found materials. Snow brought warm soil and grass after his previous adventures. The Fluffs grew small blueberry bush. There are already 3 berries on it. Mike went to the vendor to choose a gift for his new friend. – [How about a jewel? She seems to like heart-shaped things.] “Hey, Mr White!” “Yes, Mike? You need something from my market?” “Yes! Do we have crystal jewels?” “Of course!” – old Arctic Fox placed a box on the table. – “Different shapes, colors, types of crystals...” “I like this one!” – he pointed at a pink heart-shaped one. – [Exactly the one I imagined!] “Great!” – Mr White gave him the wanted crystal. It already had a string attached to it and is wearable. - “Is it for one of your friends?” – Snow told many stories about his adventures. He even showed the signature made by Sonic the Hedgehog himself. The entire village is proud of their little explorer. They can’t wait to meet Amy Rose, Cream and long-lost cousin Tails. Yet currently, Snow can’t catch the chance to invite them – they are on missions. “Yes, it's for my new friend Rouge.” “I am sure she'll love it.”
