Hey guys! So today, I bring you my latest SonTails brotherly angst. I hope you will all enjoy it. I wasn't too sure whether to go ahead with uploading or not because personally, I am not too happy with how it's turned out, and it feels very repetitive, but what the heck! I hope all my loyal readers will enjoy this nonetheless :)

For those of you who don't know, Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome is a real life hedgehog disease which affects hundreds of the spiny critters yearly. For more info, Wiki it :)

This chapter is just an introduction and is very short, but I promise as the story goes on, the chapters will become longer!

…..

It was the midst of Summer, a normal, average day in Station Square. It was a lovely day so the two brothers- Sonic and Tails, were out for a run along the seaside. The beach was thriving with people, enjoying the blazing hot sunshine. It was like sardines in a can, there was barely a patch of golden sand visible to the eye.

"Ahh. It's so nice to feel the cool breeze of the sea air through your fur. Ay buddy?" Sonic asks, to his best friend, whose tails were propelling above him.

"You said it, Sonic. It's almost as good as being in the freezer department of a supermarket!"

"Too true, too true."

"Hey Sonic. Wanna go for a swim?" Tails jokes.

"Oh yeah, suuure. Of course, because I love water!" Sonic exclaimed, in a typical sarcastic manner.

Tails giggles, attempting to land, pulling the speedy hedgehog to a halt by grabbing his right arm.

"No please, I was kidding!"

"Ah come on Sonic, it will be fun!"

"NO!" Sonic yells, pulling his arm away making Tails lose his grip.

The excitement in Tails' voice dropped almost immediately, eyes full of sadness. This hurt the hedgehog.

"Tell ya what. How about me and you go get ourselves an ice cream instead?"

"REALLY?! You're on!" Tails squealed in excitement. There was no hiding it, ice cream was always the perfect bribe to win the two-tailed fox round. It made his mere age shine through like a sore thumb, every kid loved nice cream.

The brothers made their way to the nearest ice cream van. It resided just on the opposite side of the sea front, literally a couple of minutes walk away. They reached the van. It looked to have seen better days, for it was rather run down, with faded cartoon characters plastered all over the vehicle and the 3D cornet on the front having lost most of its paintwork.

"Hello! May I have a vanilla cornet please?" Sonic asks.

"Certainly!" The ice cream man answered.

"What would you like, lil'bro?"

"Could I have a chocolate cornet, please Sonic?"

"Of course you can."

"That comes to 1.20 Mobian's please!" The man announces. Sonic hands over the money and the man hands Sonic over the cornet.

"Thank you very much. Have a nice day!"

"Oh, and could I get a chocolate cornet for my bro please?"

"Sure." Shortly after, the man comes out with a chocolate cornet and hands it to Tails.

"Thanks sir." Tails grinned.

"You're welcome. That comes to 1.20 Mobian's please!" And with that, Sonic pulled out some more cash and paid for the cornet.

Soon enough, they headed back towards the beach on the opposite side of the road. At first thought Sonic suggested they take a seat on the beach itself, but thought against the idea as it was just too hot to fight through the crowd, so they took a seat on one of the nearest benches overlooking the beach itself.

"Mmm. This ice cream is lush." Tails admits.

"Definitely hits the spot!"

"Yeah. Only the sun sure makes it melt fast!" Tails added, licking around the dripping edges in an attempt to stop it from covering his fur.

"Yeah. Gonna get it all around my face at this rate!" Sonic laughs.

"Where are we heading to afterwards, Sonic?"

"I think we'll head back. The heat's getting to me."

"Yeah same. At least our house stays cool."

Shortly after, both Sonic and Tails finished the last of their ice cream.

"That was so good." Tails noted, wiping the beads of sweat from his wet fur.

"Totally! Nothing beats ice cream on a hot day! C'mon, let's head back!" And with that, Sonic sped off in the direction of his home. Tails follows on behind, tails spinning frantically through the air.

Shortly, they reach the house- a small town house in the middle of Station Square along a main road. Upon heading inside, Sonic goes to turn on the TV and takes a seat on the sofa, exhausted. Tails goes to grab a glass of water from the kitchen.

"Woah. This heat exhausts me! I feel like I'm ready for bed already and it's only the afternoon!" Sonic admits, yawning.

"I know right! It totally drains all the energy outta you." Tails responds, walking over to the sofa to join Sonic, glass of water in his hand.

"I've never understood how people can sit out in this heat!" Sonic proclaims.

"Yeah. Must be like roasting in an oven!"

"I'd die! I would rather be tortured by Robotnik!"

"Hehe yeah." Tails agreed, all the whilst taking sips from his drink.

"Sonic. Have you ever been to a hot country?" Tails innocently asks.

"Yeah, I have once. And once was enough!"

"What was it like?"

"Well... it was like today, only hotter. I would go out for a run and nearly pass out from the heat. In the end, I spent most of my time inside with the air conditioning on."

"Oh. Sonic, you won't ever take me there will ya? It sounds horrible!"

"Don't worry bud, we won't be going there." Sonic reassured, laughing.

"You know what, I think I'm gonna go grab myself a drink myself." Sonic thought, rising from the sofa.

He made his way to the kitchen when suddenly Sonic's legs started to weaken, wobbling frantically like a newborn animal about to take their first steps.

"Woah. What' happening?!"

And suddenly, the hedgehog hit the ground with force, legs giving way.
