Chap 1
Sonic got out of bed, later than usual but he was awake earlier than usual, he lay there for hours thinking, something had been bothering him lately and he didn't know what. Not only that, but he didn't know who to talk to, Tails would just worry about him, something he didn't want his two tailed best friend to do. Amy would think he wanted to ask her out, something he really didn't want to do, Amy already told half of Mobius that she was his girlfriend. Sally, Jonny and Porker would take the same reaction as Tails and he didn't want that. He stepped over his magazines and empty cola cans to his bedroom door. He walked down stairs to find the main room full. Tails was playing on the computer, Porker and Jonny were eating breakfast and Sally was talking to Amy, Doesn't she have an apartment? Sonic thought bitterly as Amy greeted him. "Hey Sonic, do you wanna 2 player game?" Tails looked up at Sonic smiling, Sonic smiled back, "No thanks, I'm still abit tired." Tails nodded and returned to his game, he knew Sonic wasn't really tired, he knew that he'd been awake for awhile and that something was bothering him, he'd known Sonic long enough to realise that. Sonic sat down with Jonny and Porker, they both greeted him cheerfully and when Sonic merely gave them a weak smile and a nod, they too knew something was wrong but they didn't want to ask. Amy came over, "Sonic do you want to come shopping with me?" Amy looked hopeful "Nah." He replied, the last thing he wanted was every one to think he was dating Amy. She sat down next to him, she now looked concerned, "Is every thing alright?" Sonic didn't look at her, "Yeah, just abit un-well." Amy's concerned look grew, every one in the room knew that he just wanted Amy out of his way, unfortunately she didn't get the hint, she continued to move closer. "Do you want me to come to the doctors with you?" No I want you to leave me alone. Sonic thought, he shook his head, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. Amy finally took Sonics hint and returned t sit next to Sally, every now and again she looked back to check on him. He sat there with his eyes shut for an hour trying to figure out what was bothering him, when he opened them again he saw that Sally was still talking to Amy, and Tails, Jonny and Porker were all playing on the computer. He got up and went to the door, "I'm going for a walk." "OK." Came the reply from Porker, Amy got up too, "I'll come with you." Sonic frowned a little, Amy didn't notice it, "I'd prefer to go alone, maybe shake off this illness." Sonic turned and went through the door not waiting for Amy's disappointed reply. It was a very nice day in Emerald Hill, there was no clouds in the sky and the sun was blistering hot, Sonic didn't run like he normally would've, he just walked around, not think about where he was going, he still didn't know what was up with him, he hadn't been the same since Shadow died, Robotnik hadn't been seen since then. At first he thought it was this what was bothering him, wondering what Robotnik was up too, but after a while he realised that it wasn't this, he was just think what when he bumped into someone and fell to the ground. He looked up to see who it was and saw himself looking at and grinning red Echidna.
