"Happy Birthday, Blaze!"

Sonic produced the roses he'd "rescued" from the shattered greenhouse almost immediately upon her opening the door to her room, sporting a huge grin along with them. Maybe one or two of the blossoms were bruised, but all in all they're looking better than his bouquets of the past.

Blaze had found herself feeling down and upset in the wake of the moon falling from the sky. She had forgotten all about her birthday, at least until the moment Sonic knocked at her door and presented her with a small bouquet of roses. The dour expression she had been wearing turned around quickly, and she found herself smiling for the first time in what felt like a while.

She reached out to take them, sniffing them and letting their perfumey scent tickle her nose. Looking up at Sonic with a small hint of blush, she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "T-thanks," she choked out in her cathartic happiness.

"There's no way I'd forget my favorite girl's birthday." He adds. "I'll get ya something nicer too, when we can get into the city again."

Yeah, about that. It says volumes that he's speaking about that in terms of WHEN instead of IF, but also it says a lot that it's the first thing he mentions. Mister Free Spirit can't leave campus. He fidgets and rubs the back of his neck.

"So... wanna go do something?"

She released him from the hug, but held on to his hand with the one that didn't grip the bouquet. It was hard on her, being cut off from her world after spending so much time to find her way back, not to mention finding a way back and forth at will. It was one of the sources of her own frustration and dismay. But she knew Sonic well enough that it was just as hard on him being stuck in one place like this. He lived to move, to travel, to adventure. "It's not easy," she said. "And it will be great to be able to go out and about again, to burn off some of that energy."

She blushed a bit, fingers tightening around his hand. "I'd love to. But, um... Speaking of burning off some energy... Blue won't be back for a while," she said quietly, as she quickly started to warm to the touch. She had been working hard on focusing, and keeping her flames in check when they were together, and it was coming more easily now. She still had some way to go, and she still got hot under the collar, but Sonic was at substantially less risk of having his quills ignite. "Would you like to come in...?" she suggested with a playful smile.

His ears perk up. Oh. OH.

"...Really? Sure! I mean, uh, yeah. I'd love to."

Formalities fighting with other impulses and losing handily, he moves through the doorway with her with a chuckle, leaving the door open and not wasting any time on sweeping into a kiss with her.

To say she liked that was an understatement. The roses were quickly set down on the desk nearby as Sonic swept her up into a kiss. She felt herself purr against his lips, sliding her arms over his shoulders to hug him back, eyes drifting shut. She was very warm to the touch, but in the back of her mind she was able to quiet the flames within her just enough that warmth was all he felt, at least for now. She was getting to really like this kind of closeness.

So much so that she kind of forgot all about the open door, as she pulled him down towards her bed...

He lifts her up and flops back onto the bed with her on top. "...For the record, are these sheets flammable?"

He's joking, really. You can tell by the look on his face. Also his hand hasn't left her rear from where he'd lifted her, and shows no intention of relocating at all.

"AHOY!! 'Appy B-day, Blaze!" Marine approached the doorway carrying a very large wrapped box that obscured her vision. Balancing the box in one hand awkwardly for a quick moment, she knocked on the doorframe with her free hand and walked right into the room without waiting for a response. She didn't stop to wonder why the door was open. Whatever. She wanted to give Blaze her present, which was sure to be Blaze's favorite present ever. Naturally!

"I brought you a ripper gift! I 'aven't celebrated with you in years, so I made sure this year would be a blast!" Still unable to see her friend and completely unaware of Sonic's presence, she waddled over to Blaze's desk and dropped the large gift on it, missing a bit and causing it to tumble on its side and onto the ground with a *CLUNK*. Other decorations or somesuch may have been victims of her clumsiness, too...

Funny thing about that. Marine's almighty AHOY causes Sonic to jump in his compromising position, and with Blaze's head so close to his, another *CLUNK* sounds in with the scattered knick-knacks on the table: a coconut-like chorus of two craniums colliding.

"Gh, aow... Marine! Hi. Nice. To see you." He mutters, grudgingly excusing himself out from under his girlfriend, and brushing a questioning hand to her forehead. You okay, Blaze?

Blaze was snapped out of it by the sudden sound of Marine's excited cry, and she hissed a bit when Sonic's head suddenly collided with hers. "M-Marine! Ah... Thank you...!"

In moments she had separated herself from Sonic, straightening her clothes, blushing up a storm. She was fine, but she brushed Sonic's forehead softly, having to stop herself from laughing a bit at the slight mark roughly the size and shape of her forehead gem.

She helped herself up off the bed, hurrying after Marine to catch the things that started to fall wherever she went.

Marine dusted her gloves off and grinned triumphantly. Best gift is obviously best gift, either on the desk or on the floor.

She oriented herself to face Blaze and was taken aback when she noticed Sonic was in the room also.

"Croikey, Sonic! What are you doing 'ere?" She crossed her arms and scowled. "I brought Blaze 'er best present today, so you'll... just... 'ave to..." she stammered while trying to keep her mind from wondering about what Sonic and Blaze had been doing. "... get in line!!" Any negative implications of that statement was completely lost on her.

"Easy, Marine. I just came in to give Blaze some--"

And he indicates the desk and the roses, which are now a squished pile of petals thanks to a large gift box that had been thrown on them and then taken off.

"...Flowers." He finishes, his ears drooping. "I'm sure whatever's in that box is going to be cooler."

But at the rate she's going, it'll probably be an alarm clock that throws cold water on them and blares uncomfortable children's music while projecting an image of Eggman in a bikini on the ceiling.

Blaze winced a bit at the sight of the broken flowers. She gave an apologetic look to Sonic, before getting up off the bed to reach the box on her desk. "You didn't have to go to all this trouble," Blaze told Marine, feeling a little self conscious at having frankly such a big box given to her like this. Just what the heck did Marine even fit in here? The girl meant well, but she was just so unpredictable. "But thank you all the same."

She carefully opened up the box...

...and what she'd find was a simple but GIANT fire extinguisher with a green bow and a card that reads:

"To: Blaze! From: Marine"

Marine grinned from ear to ear, beaming with pride. "You're welcome. I figured if your powers ever get the best of you, you'd be prepared! And it's big so you can always find it, no matter where in the room you are!"

Hopefully Marine isn't so chuffed with pride that she doesn't notice Sonic doing his best impression of Knuckles, with as red as he's turning. He fidgets on the bed. She had no idea the implications of that gift... did she?

Wow. That was. ...Strangely appropriate. Blaze lifted the extinguisher out of the box, stared at it for a few moments, and... then burst out in laughter. It was an embarrassed laughter, yes, but it was from the heart. It was just so... ridiculous, and so very, very Marine.

"It's very thoughtful," she chuckled, wiping a tear out of her eye. "Thank you, Marine..." She set it down and gave the girl a hug.

Marine had other things to focus on besides Sonic at the moment. She was presenting her best mate with her best gift! She wanted to soak in ever ounce of appreciation. Unfortunately, she never quite got enough of that to hold her over.

"Buh-Blaze, are you all right?" As the cat gave her a gentle hug, Marine returned the hug with awkward pats at first. Once the notion that Blaze was showing gratitude, the hug turned into a tight embrace. "Glad you like it! I can show you how to use 'er, too! I've 'ad to use quite a few in my days as an ace ship captain and mechanic!"

She turned to Sonic, having finally registered a reason to talk to him.

"And I can show you, too, Sonic! My extinguisher skills are quite impressive! You'll see. I'll impress your pants off. Or, hehe, shoes." Her comment was completely innocent. It didn't occur to her that the way she worded it might be misconstrued as suggestive in light of the situations she'd just interrupted.

[Sonic makes a weird strangled noise, and coughs. Then he draws up one knee while sitting to lean on it coolly.]

You mind of need a fire to put out in order to demonstrate, don't you?

[He SAYS this, naively thinking she'll concede that point and scurry off with the prized gift gratefully accepted and sitting in a hallowed place in the corner.]

"It's okay, Marine," Blaze replied, releasing the hug and patting her head. "I've seen you when your ships have, er... mishaps. I know you can handle a fire extinguisher."

She didn't feel the need to mention that Blaze could just will fires out with her mind. Not after Marine went to the trouble of thinking up a thoughtful gift for her. "I'd rather not set my room on fire, all the same..."

Marine glared at Sonic. The nerve! She hadn't though of that. The point was to show how awesome she was, and it backfired, so she was NOT happy with him. She WILL show him her gift is da best, blast it!

"Oi, a fire won't spread more than a metre, Sonic! Not with this baby, it won't! You watch and see!!" she yelled indignantly. And with that, she grabbed her gift and ran out the door with it stuffed under her arm, heading straight for her headquarters on the lawn. She had a blowtorch in there somewhere. All she'd have to do is set something on fire and demonstrate all the awesome!

"?!"

After Marine leaves there's a second's pause, and then he exchanges a worried look with Blaze. "What, what's she gonna...?"

He hops off the bed and goes in pursuit, now less annoyed and more worried. He's not going so fast that Blaze can't keep up, however, and they'd wind up outside together at the same time. "Uh, Marine??"

"We have to stop her," Blaze replied quickly. She knew Marine well enough to know what she was going to try and do next. Fortunately she could keep up with Sonic easily, and when he took off she was only a pace behind him.

"Marine, no!" she called out. But would they reach her before she set something on fire???
