Maria approached Sonic to give him a hug. "No need to apologize Sonic! I like parties. It's been too long since I got to enjoy one. I was sleeping upstairs but this didn't wake me up, I promise." She squeezed him happily.

"Happy Birthday! I didn't know it was your birthday! Shadow's was on the 19th. Is it the other Sonic's birthday too?" The girl sounded excited and happy to share in the fun. "I also really like all the colorful flags. I've always liked rainbows."
