Sonic SatAm

Save My Spot

By: David Carter

Authors Note: Well, this is my 11th Sonic the Hedgehog story, and wow, I thought I couldn't go on. I wasn't raised on Genesis or for that matter introduced to the Sonic games till Sonic Mega Collection. Many people have been arguing over time which mascot is better, Mario or Sonic? I was raised on Nintendo, don't get me wrong, Sonic is a great character, but Mario again has been around since 87. Back to Sonic, I recently began watching Sonic SatAm, I know it came out in the 90's but I was into something else. The stories were great and the relationship between Sonic and Sally troublesome at times. I prefer Sonic and Amy, but this time I chose to do this. I wrote another Sonic story involving the SatAm cast called Vacation is over (if you've read it or going to it is single spaced; one of my first stories on here). So I'm sorry to bore you with this, if you care to read and review…I'll understand.

CH.1: Speed and sensitivity

It was a quiet day in Knothole village, to Rotor it was the perfect time to work on his latest experiment. Rotor was a walrus; he had two long teeth drooping out of his mouth and half the time the only article of clothing was a tool belt slung across his shoulder. Rotor was the specialist to come to when SwatBots invaded their village; after all, he did work on weaponry, shielding, and any other tool to help aid his friends. Today he walked into the main ground and looked about curiously. "No one is awake yet…perfect!" Rotor walked to his closet and stared up at the heap of equipment, and past experiments stored in there. "Alright, time to see what I can cook up in…oh no-."

"Good morning Rotor," an annoyingly familiar voice said. Rotor sighed as he closed the door realizing that with Antoine around the work he wanted to do would never be completed.

"Hey Antoine…you look rather cheerful today," Rotor said as he gave the coyote a grin. Antoine had a brownish blonde fur and his hair was blonde, he was once a royal guard, but Rotor knew as well as everyone else that he tended to be the bravado type.

"Ah yes, a beautiful day t-to smill the roses," Antoine walked over to the rose bush and smelled them, much to the confusion of Rotor. "Is the Princess Sally awake?"

"No, she had a rough night last night," Rotor sat on a log and wiped his forehead, "something went wrong when we went into Robotropolis and…well…Sally had a big break down."

"A breakdown…ah maybe now I can come to her rescue-." Rotor shook his head and then the sound of a speeding hedgehog diverted his own worries for Princess Sally.

"Yo Ant…see you got a rose for yourself," Sonic knuckled with Rotor and gave Antoine a smile. Antoine merely sneered at him as he tried his best to look tall.

"It is not for myself you heartless hedgehog," Antoine puffed out his chest and both Rotor and Sonic burst out laughing. "If you had a care in the world, then you'd notice too that Princess Sally is unwell."

"W-what…is she hurt? Oh man, no wonder she was acting all silent when I was singing," Rotor and Antoine held their mouths; both desperately trying not to laugh. Sonic scratched his blue head and stared up at the tree where Sally slept, his concern for her was deep, and no other girl could fill his heart like Sally.

"Sonic, didn't you notice how close Sally was to being roboticized?" Rotor met Sonic's hurt eyes and gave him a sympathetic look. "She puts herself in danger all the time, and she never worries about herself. The strain is on her…really bad-."

"No sweat," Sonic walked to the exit and gave his friends a thumbs up, "I'll go get Sally something to make her gloomy day super…it'll be way past cool!" Sonic started to run off and didn't wait to see Antoine's angered look. Sonic was the fastest hedgehog on Mobius, he had blue quills and wore red sneakers, that were speed resistant too.

"He is coming, prepare for capture," Snively stood behind a tree and gave the Trooper Badniks Robotnik had assigned him a wave, if I succeed then I will be more then just a nephew to Robotnik…but perhaps a equal, Snively thought. The only reason he was allowed to stay was because Robotnik in a way was forced to.

"Hmmm…I wonder if Sally is in the mood for a chili dog or a new vest," Sonic was lost in thought as he raced through the forest; oblivious to the trap Snively and the Badniks had. Sally, has it gotten to the point where we don't talk honestly to each other anymore? Sonic pondered but it was too late as he felt the particle beam hit him in the chest.

"Wow, I didn't even try my hardest either," Snively said aloud. Sonic struggled up and gave Snively a wry grin.

"Sorry to ruin your medal speech, but I got to juice," Sonic sped past the stomping Troopers and waved at the fuming Snively. "Tell Robotnik he should hire a professional from now on," and with that he exited the forest and came to stop on a hill overlooking Robotropolis. "I doubt Sally would want a Trooper outfit," Sonic said.

"Hey Sonic wait up!" Sonic looked over his shoulder and saw his fox friend Tails land. Miles Tails Prower was his best friend, he was brown furred and what made him unique was he had twin tails. "I thought we were going to play dirt hockey today-."

"Not now Tails," Sonic said rather impatiently, "Sally is feeling glum, so I decided to get her a gift. Fact is I don't know what to get her," Tails tapped his chin thoughtfully and then his eyes widened:

"I know," Sonic tapped his foot on the ground and gave Tails a bored look, "there's a meadow not far from here that has the craziest flowers I've ever seen, maybe Aunt Sally would like some."

"I think you may have something Tails, let's juice!" Sonic ran down the hill and followed his flying friend. The meadow Tails had indicated was just ahead, but problem was it was guarded by Buzzbombers and Trooper Badniks. "Whoa, hey Tails look its-."

"Alright Sonic the hedgehog, you shall not pass here!" Snively ordered the Buzzbombers to attack and watched in satisfaction as the fox and hedgehog were dancing around the field as blasts kept their feet going. "You see…you can't even outrun-."

"Ok birdnose…care to taste a little dirt?" Sonic grabbed Tail's hand and with one last look at the Buzzbombers he zipped past one tree, and then another, all the while the Buzzbombers kept peppering their feet. "Yawn, and to think I'm going to lose sleep-."

"Noooo…you Buzzbombers…go the other way!" They did so and Sonic and Tails came to a stop near the exit. The Buzzbombers were about to fire on the steady hedgehog, but the other Buzzbombers came and collided with them. "Argh…you blasted hedgehog…Robotnik will not forgive you-."

"Oh, is that so?" Sonic gave Snively a frightened look and with a dash left Snively in his tracks. The meadow was a huge area of ground blossoming with rich colors of flowers. Sonic himself in all his time on Mobius was oblivious to such a place.

"So Sonic, which one should we give Aunt Sally?" Sonic observed each flower closely and Tails smelled them. The strength of a coyote or fox's nose could pick out when danger is near, or the fragrance of a flower. "Sonic, is this right?"

"I don't Tails," Sonic bent over and smelled the flower, the smell reminded him of apples and night. "Perhaps we better pick a dozen…just in case."

"Ok Sonic," Tails replied, excitement filling his eyes. Twirling his tails he flew around the field picking the flowers. As they proceeded back to Knothole the two took their time by taking the long way. "Sonic do you like Aunt Sally?"

"W-What…oh…uh," Sonic rubbed his neck and stared up at the sky as blue as him. She was annoying, at times she wouldn't let him do things he wanted to, but other times like when they were on a mission, then things went a little flirtatious. "After giving it much thought," Sonic coughed nervously, "I guess I like Sally…ok a lot."

"Wow…I got to tell Aunt Sally," Tails was about to leave when Sonic reached for his foot desperately.

"How about we leave this between us guys, you know how Sally is when she learns something as big as this," Sonic winked and Tails giggled. When they reached Knothole village it was about night, so Tails went to his chamber where Sally would read him his bedtime story.

"So Sonic, I see you picked flowers," Antoine was standing in the shadows wearing a scowl. "I myself gave the Princess a flower, but she merely placed it on her table, apparently roses aren't her favorite flower."

"Well Ant, I guess we all have our tastes, maybe it wasn't just the flower that Sally disliked." Sonic chuckled at his joke and in his head imagined Antoine glowering at him with burning dislike. After sidestepping Antoine's predicted punch, Sonic dashed into Sally's tree and saw the ground squirrel heading to bed.

"Sonic…you're back," Sally was quiet surprised to see Sonic, though in fact she had wanted to be with him all day. Her duty was challenging, or in all honesty putting stresses on her love life or fun life. She loved Sonic, but apparently the hedgehog was too fast to notice her affection to him. The two occasionally kissed, and fought, and kissed more, but there relationship wasn't exactly…public.

"Yeah, me and Tails were out playing dirt hockey when Robutnik's nephew came to cause trouble. Oh speaking of which, I just happened to come across these while I was away," Sonic pulled out the flowers and grinned as Sally's cheeks burned bright red.

"W-Why Sonic…they are wonderful." Sally accepted the flowers and smelled the scent that could be called 'divine'. She put her hand through her red auburn hair and with her other linked her hand with Sonic's. "I'm sorry…Sonic…sorry for everything-."

"Hey Sal, there is no need to apologize. Your just under stress, we all are occasionally," Sonic wrapped his arm around her waist and gazed into her blue eyes. The two were about to kiss when Sonic felt a pain in his chest. His hand was falling and his knees were sinking. His hand accidentally touched her butt which caused Sally to blush madly.

"S-Sonic…I really don't suggest…Sonic-?" Sonic's head hit the floor and his eyes rolled back. The last thing he saw was Antoine's flower in a vase of water. Sally picked up Sonic but all she could do was lay his head in her lap. Tears sprung in her eyes and she yelled: "Help…anybody! Sonic has been injured. Please hurry!"
