Her ears sunk upon hearing today was but a sample of the torture her new teacher was planning, but they immediately shot back up accompanied by sparkling eyes. "Really!? All in order, new tomes filled with knowledge, boundless books all kept pretty and pristine." Her orbs shimmered behind her elegant frames, folding her hands neatly together. She jumped up excited and almost bounced off the wall. "Museums, marine life center. Miss Heart where have you been all my life? I've never met a teacher so passionate about learning." Before getting too carried away Twinkle looked down to her clothing; It was beyond disgusting. Closing her eyes and stopping to sniff caused her to flinch at the repulsive smell.

"You'll have to excuse me, Miss Heart. Here I am so excited about the new curriculum I've neglected my hygiene. I need to go to the little kittens room and freshen up, change into something not dripping with sweat. It's been a pleasure meeting you, Miss Heart. I look forward to learning all I can from you." With that she lowered her head respectfully once again and in a purple flash she was gone; little pink sparkles and stars dancing on the air where she once was.   

Twinkle has huffing, dragging herself into the gymnasium after that death march of a run. She scrapped along the floor her claws dragging her forward, the neat kitten was even more of a mess having sweated completely through her shirt. Huffing she tried to speak but no words came out, this woman wasn't a teacher she was a army drill instructor! The lavender cat flopped down onto the floor and spoke, her words muffled by the ground. "A little help please Miss Heart. I can't feel my legs."

Twinkle tried to reach for her water bottle only for the girl from earlier to kick it away. Tried of this girl's insubordinate behavior Twinkle did something she should have done a long time ago. She grabbed onto her ankles and dragged her down to the floor, her rival fell to the ground with a thud. Still in shock the bully had no time to react when Twinkle stepped on her to get up. She looked down with a haughty expression before speaking. "Stay down there where you belong. Headmistress will hear about this." Twinkle's legs wobbled like she was about to loose her balance. "Miss!"   

Twinkle had a wonderful morning that was only enhanced by the addition of a surprise popquiz; naturally the ever prepared kitten she was, Twinkle had studied even the subjects that weren't recommend allowing her to ace the test. She took pride in her beautifully pressed school uniform, dainty gloves and beautiful bow that she wore each and every morning. Her hair was neatly styled into a bun so elegant she could be mistaken for going to prom everyday of the year. Unlike most of her classmates Twinkle was a morning person, she treasured those tiny moments in the morning when she enjoyed a cup of tea while tending to her appearance. Those small moments of peace before gossip started and the voices of her peers could drown out the voice of higher education. It was the evenings she hated and the dreaded period of PE that really made her blood boil.

It was the time of day her perfectly pressed uniform was replaced with an ugly loose fitting gym shirt and bike shorts, her shiny shoes were swapped out for worn-out velcro sneakers, and her beautiful bun was made messy with stray hairs going every which way. Much preferring the academic side of her education, Twinkle dreaded PE and everything it entailed, getting sweaty and stinky wasn't her idea of a good time. So there she stood in the assembly wearing an annoyed look trying to prevent her glasses from fogging up, while the Headmistress explained a surprise for the girls. Rumors had been floating around that a guest from the city was going to visit their school. Twinkle had been hoping it was Princess Sally; she admired the princess's tenacity in the face of super powered foes. When the Fennec fox exploded through the doors, her heart sank a little but her speedy demonstration did catch the slitted eyes of the purple cat. Her eyes followed the the fox from each twirl to flip, and they sparkled in admiration behind her catframe glasses. Standing on her tip toes in her ill fitting uniform, trying to get a better look while her classmates started to cheer while a few begun to whisper.

"Sonic's girlfriend?" She said puzzled, her ears twitching absorbing the gossip from the girls surrounding her.

"I hear she's a doctor."

"She's so lucky she's with Sonic."

"Oh wow! A real Freedom Fighter right here?"

"I'm going to ask for her autograph."

Were just a few of the things whispered while the song came to an end, giving Sonya the stage.

When a regal voice called out to her Twinkle was touched; out of everybody in her library, the cold cat was the only one to show her kindness. Even the hero famous for his big heart did nothing to ease her pain. She felt the embossed cover of the book that was slid under her fingers recognizing the ancient tome. "She's checking out Mythology of the Eurish Region? Who is she?" Twinkle asked herself drying her eyes. She was amazed somebody was going to get her an apology and stand up to Sonic of all people, on her behalf. She blinked and before she knew it she was back on her feet her cracked glasses hastily placed around her skull in a crooked fashion. Taking a moment to adjust her frames she got a better look at her saviour it was a purple feline not unlike herself. Twinkle instantly took a liking to the tyrant; everything from her refined speech to her choice in literature fascinated the bookworm.

Looking down to her ruined dress, cracked glasses and dirty gloves Twinkle shot a violent glare towards Sonic. The normally timid cat was inspired by the actions of her new favourite patron; her eyes sparked a deep violet hue and sparkling stars formed around her fingers. She marched towards Sonic as if she were on a warpath, her tail and ears standing as stiff as boards. "I booked you to do a signing because I thought you were a hero. I thought having you here would help spark a love of reading for the rest of the community. I can see I made a grave error in judgement....you are no hero." She then whipped around to the crowd and hissed violently. "The lot of you are banned from Twinkle's Tomes forever!" As she roared a starry aura engulfed the customers levitating them into the air before violently tossing them out into the street; she finished by closing her fingers into a fist causing the door to slam shut. She poked a finger into Sonic's chest barring her fangs as she hissed.

"I see now you are just a fool whose major traits are arrogance and egotism. You will pay for humiliating me in my own home." She threatened before taking a moment to lower her head and bow deeply to the cat who stood up for her. "You are welcome to stay as long as you desire. Should I be of any further service you need only ask. You have my deepest thanks for your kindness, Miss." Directing her attention right back to Sonic she frowned. "Let's see if you can outrun a black hole." She snarked then all the light faded from the room for but a split second. When the light returned a small swirling vortex started to form in the disgraced librarian's paws. 

In a flash of bright light both Sonic and Twinkle fell from great heights towards the beach below, holding out her paws Twinkle's glittering pink magic activated catching the pair before they hit the ground. Now at a safe distance the lavender cat deactivated her sparkling aura gently placing herself on the ground while she allowed Sonic to fall on his face. It appears Twinkle had warped them to the only place in the past she was familiar with Sonic's shack; before Sonic could even determine what happened Twinkle started to pace back and forth nervously as Caroline's words rang loudly in her head like ecchoing church bells. "You are only making things more difficult for ME. Or was that your intention? I thought you were my friend." That one sentence tore at Twinkle's mind like a hungry hound who hadn't been fed in weeks.

She merely played it in her head over and over again seemingly unable to stop torturing herself with it. Frazzled and frightened she glanced over at Sonic before she begun nervously biting her nails. "It's going to be okay, Mr. Hedgehog is here so Miss Caroline won't cease to exist." With her goal out of the way she simply knelt down and curled up in the sand with her eyes wide open staring out at the unending sea. "I've lost my only friend." She whispered to herself before her claws shot out digging into her legs over and over as it was the only thing she was able to do in order to release stress. This was all quickly becoming far too much for Twinkle she was always a rather lonely girl but without her hero Caroline by her side her worst fears were quickly becoming a reality. "This isn't happening.....This isn't happening....THIS ISN'T HAPPENING......THIS WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT STUPID, INBRED MONGREL!" She screamed at the top of her lungs while standing walking over to Sonic who still had not recovered from the fall. She popped her claws once again before straightening out her dress. "You are going to fix this." She said her eyes narrowing as she waited for him to awaken.

Watching Robin's honestly pathetic attempts to stop Caroline she swiftly smacked Robin over the back of the head as hard as she could; which wasn't very hard given her frail frame. She helped Caroline fend him off by tugging at the dog's tail and puffing out her cheeks giving a very cold warning. "You insolent mutt! YOU DO NOT DARE halt Miss Caroline's progress. Stop thinking about yourself for once in your miserable life and know your place crotch breath." Twinkle was giving Robin a verbal lashing for ignoring her prior warnings before turning to Caroline while pushing up her glasses. "Miss, awaiting orders, shall I advance and secure Sapphire?" She asked standing with her paws at the ready to cast any spell she needed to aide their advance.

Twinkle turned up her nose at both Caroline and Robin crossing her arms. "YOU were the one who brought a stranger here. You know just as well as I do the moment you are discovered people will start asking questions. It'd be improper to ask aide of these folks while keeping them in the dark. We'd have been much more effective if you weren't such a colossal failure you mixed up mutt." Twinkle made it clear she did not like Robin to the point she'd even stand up to her idol Caroline; he'd brought somebody who just careless blurted out Sapphire's situation forcing her to step in for Caroline's sake. What was meant to be a quick dash and grab time jump was getting more and more complex thanks to the wild dog; in order to further condensed to her canine enemy she pulled a water spray bottle out of her bag. "Next time you do something stupid I spritz you." She playfully teased, perhaps there was a reason she was giving Robin such a hard time.

Twinkle was both touched and frazzled all at the same time as both a protective pose and stern instructions came from Caroline. She hugged the ledges of the bag close feeling anxious and insecure with all these new people. Her tail stood on end when the wolf came up and she couldn't stop glaring at the man hiding behind the helmet. She held a special brand of ire for people who thought they could tell her what to do. "Yes of course Miss Caroline, as you instruct." When Soul had her stern friend returning the terrible joke her eyes shot open and she jumped back causing her glasses to slide down her nose. "Mr. Hedgehog please! We are following up on an important matter." When the towering well build wolf appeared with a quite bold declaration Twinkle's heart sank into her chest.

She placed her hand over her mouth as the information rang in her ears; this new revelation would surely tear her friend's heart in two. Not being able to watch her idol suffer Twinkle to action into her own hands; holding out her paw, still ignited from when she threatened Soul she cast a spell over Caroline. A pink aura surrounded Caroline and she fell into a deep sleep almost instantly. Moving behind the sleepy kitty, Twinkle gently caught her placing Caroline's head against the soft bag. Taking a moment to position Caroline comfortably she then marched over to Ty poking a finger into his chest as she scrunched up her face. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" She shouted before taking a moment to compose herself. She straightened out her dress and pushed her glasses back up while giving a worried glance over to her dear friend. As she spoke her voice was anxious and full of concern for the sleeping feline. "Please...not here....not like this. Miss Caroline loves her little sister dearly, she came back to search for her and I volunteered to help, because I simply couldn't let Miss Caroline take this trip alone. I don't know you people but some of you seem to have information that proves useful. Caroline is handling this past setting much better than I am and if she heard what you just said now it would destroy her. Miss Caroline is in a very sensitive state of mind and I don't think blurting it out this way would be beneficial for her behavior. She's always the one with the cool head that pulls us through, please don't take that away from her. I implore you Mr. Wolf please tell her what you just said but leave the robot part out, I don't think the poor dear's heart could take the shock. I don't know what I would do without her....." She said with a somber tone before looking up to Ty, her eyes pleading with him.   

She placed her hands together and lowered her head bowing lightly. "Please if you could grant me this and allow the Miss to find out another way, I would be most grateful. It's regrettable Miss Hedgehog has undergone such a harsh transformation but please have a heart and let the scene unfold organically. She needs to keep a calm mind at the moment. She'll awaken soon and I'll tell her she had a dizzy spell from the effects of the machine. All of you please keep this to yourself.....The Miss is very protective of family." She quickly knelt down returning to Caroline's side, her eyes full of fury displaying she would protect her at any cost.
