Chapter 1: A Wrong To Right

Sally's point of view

"How many times do I have to frickin tell you? I didn't TAKE your stupid necklace!" Sonic had yelled at me for about the fifth time.

"Oh yeah? Well, how come every time I put something down, you come in the room and it just goes missing?" I retorted back. Just because I was a princess didn't mean that I couldn't be loud when I wanted to be. And I was loud.

"You always blame me for stupid crap that isn't ever my fault!" He whined. He sounded like such a moron. How could I be so blind not to see how annoying he really was? What was wrong with me when we were going out?

"I wouldn't have to blame you if you didn't come in my room and steal my stuff!"

"You know what? I'm so glad I managed to get away from you when I got the chance. I'm outta here!" And just like that, the little rat got up, and he left.

"Pssh—like I care what you do with your miserable life." I retorted once again. Before he walked out of the door, he gave me a look filled with anger and annoyance. And if I didn't know any better, I would've thought there was a slight hint of sadness in his eyes, too. But I was no fool. I, Princess Sally Alicia Acorn, was DEFINITELY not a fool. I'm just too smart to be a fool...and I'm not conceited no matter what you say.

...I guess I was an idiot at one point in my life. But that was ONLY when I decided to go out with that blue egotistical hedgehog! How did I fall for him, anyways? What was going through my head? Maybe he poisoned me with something, or maybe I got drunk; I don't know. But one thing was for sure: I would never, never, ever fall for Sonic the 'Mr.-my-ego-needs-its-own-planet' Hedgehog again. Never.

I stormed my way from my dresser and plopped down on my queen-sized bed. I attempted to cool myself off by counting to ten. "8...9...10!"

...Nope. Still pissed.

And who was I kidding? That dumb 'count to ten' stuff doesn't even work.

Who came up with it anyway?

As I plopped myself onto my bed, I thought that lying down to relax would repress my anger, and help my sanity. And it worked...until I spotted something shiny on the floor, barely peeking out from under my bed. "...Great." I thought. What I was looking at was my missing necklace. It was silver, it was heart shaped, it had a keyhole engraved in it, and it was given to me by Mr. Ego himself. Why I still wear and treasure this thing, I have no idea. But what I do know is that I was angry that I couldn't find the necklace and now that I had...I was embarrassed. Because this was probably the third time this week that I had blamed Sonic for something that he didn't do.

My face turned a lightish pink and I knew what was at stake here. I had to swallow up my pride (ONCE AGAIN) and beg the blue 'wonder' for his forgiveness. Because as nice as he was to some, he just wasn't nice enough to easily give his forgiveness to me. I sighed, got up out of my bed, and prepared to make my way over to Sonic's house. Honestly. This was turning into a bad habit that had to come to an end at some point!

As I made my way downstairs in the early afternoon (around 12 or 1), my face met with my cousin and one of my best friends ever, Nicole. I swear, aside from Bunnie, Nicole was the one person that truly understood me. I treat her like a sister, and she kind of is since she's been living with my family for a few years now. Her parents sent her out here one summer because they thought it best that she live away from some of the drama and troubles that went on around her neighborhood. So she came to live with my family to avoid drama and troubles. Ha! Go figure.

"Hey, Nicole." I greeted her in an almost monotonous way.

"Hi, Sally. Ya' know Sonic just left a few minutes ago. He seemed upset again, too...any ideas why?" She said in a suspicious, yet teasing voice. I knew she knew why. And I knew that she knew that I knew that she knew why, too.

Ha-ha! Confused you, didn't I?

I just stared at her with one of my 'don't play games with me' looks. "Sally! Isn't this the third time this week that you and Sonic have gotten into another one of your...heated discussions?" She asked me.

"But it's not my fault, Nicole!" I protested. "He provokes these arguments out of me! It's not like I always look to start fights with him."

"Well, maybe if you two tried a little harder to get along, there would less problems between the two of you." She tried to help. "And why do you two always get into these petty little fights, anyway?"

...so much for understanding me.

"Nicole, I just can't get along with someone like Sonic."

"But you two used to get along perfectly fine, before."

"But that was different. Now, Sonic's just impossible to be around. He's annoying, egotistical, impatient, a jerk..."

"...your ex-boyfriend." Nicole smirked and finished for me. "That had nothing to do with anything, Nicole." I stated, confidently. Unfortunately, even if I made that statement with all of the confidence in the world, I still probably couldn't get myself to believe that.

"C'mon, Sally. Ever since you and Sonic split, you've practically been in a funk all the time. You're always extra fussy, you snap at every little thing, you're always so mean to Sonic for no reason at all, and you're just not your usually happy, cheerful awesome princess-self anymore. You just act...weird."

"I do NOT act weird!" I snapped loudly. Nicole just looked at me with a worried look on her face. I didn't really mean to yell at her. I just had a rough time admitting that every little single thing she said about me right now...was 100% true. To tell the truth, I have been in a stupid funk all the time. I don't know why, but I just feel depressed about nothing. And it sucks! I can admit that I get a little fussy. Like the other day, I yelled at my brother, Elias for offering me some chocolate ice cream. I don't like chocolate ice cream, but he was just trying to be nice and I was an ass to him. And if I don't snap at every little thing, I'm really close to it. I'm not usually the beautiful, happy child my fans loved and adored. But hey! I'm still beautiful. Just not as happy. And as for being mean to Sonic—I just can't help that. Sonic likes to be a jackass for nothing. And when I say that, I mean he seeks to be arrogant for no reason in the world. He pushes my buttons because he knows what makes me tick. And that's his goal: to torture and kill me. And when everyone's at my funeral sobbing and weeping for me, he'll be the only one in the back cracking jokes and farting for kicks!

Well, okay, so maybe not the latter. But you get my point, right?

Anyway...what was I talking about?...Oh, yeah! I felt bad for yelling, I think...

"I-I'm sorry, Nicole. I didn't mean to yell at you or anything. It's just...Sonic...h-he makes me so mad!" I tried to explain to her, hoping she would understand.

"It's okay, Sally. You don't have to explain. I understand." She said innocently. I always knew she would. He-he.

"Thanks, Nicole! I can always count on you to be there for me when I need you. But I gotta go and apologize to the jerk for acting like a jerk. Ha-ha! I'll see you later, Nicole." I waved as I headed out of the door.

"Good-bye, Sally! See you later!" She said.

And I was off.

Normal Point of View

At Sonic's house, he and Tails, and Knuckles were hanging out in the garage. While Tails was tinkering with some kind of machine and Knuckles was basically doing nothing, Sonic was mindlessly destroying the ears of his lifelong friends.

"...And all I was trying to do was ask her to the movies with me on Saturday. I didn't even get to do anything and she freaked out on me!" Sonic explained. "Honestly, should I even have tried asking her, guys? ...Guys?"

"Did you say something, Sonic?" Knuckles and Tails asked in unison.

"Were you two ever listening to me?" The hedgehog asked. "I was pouring out my heart to you guys, thinking you would understand. But I guess I was wrong." Sonic said dejectedly.

"We're sorry, Sonic." Tails said remorsefully. "...But, there's only so many times we can listen to you 'pouring out your heart'. It's kind of...of, um..."

"INFURIATING!" Knuckles exclaimed loudly while rubbing his temples. "It's like listening to a broken recorder with no off switch!

"Well! Don't be afraid to tell me how you really feel, Knucklehead."

"I never was, idiot!"

"Whoa! Hey guys, l-let's not g-get rowdy...he-he!" Tails said shakily.

"SHUTTUP!" Sonic and Knuckles both fussed. Tails could tell this was going to be another one of their daily nasty little spats. And when Sonic and Knuckles got into a fight, there was no stopping them 'til one of them eventually did. And because they were both pigheaded, anyone could understand why they were the silly way that they were.

...and Poor Tails. He was just an innocent bystander in all of this. Except for sometimes when he would accidently get roughed up because of the fight getting a little out of hand. He just wanted everyone to get along. Was that so hard? Why couldn't everyone just hold hands and be nice to each other? Oh, well.

Meanwhile in the midst of all the extra drama, Tails heard the doorbell due to his large ears. And went to get it.

When he reached the door, he opened it to reveal none other than Sally Acorn herself. And of course, Tails was happy to see her. "Hey, Aunt Sally!" Tails cried. Sally was indeed the aunt of Tails because their family had some sort of royal connection. Sally beamed and replied. "Hi, Tails. How are you?"

"I've been great. Still tinkering and stuff like that." He said proudly.

"That's good to know!" The princess giggled. "And how are things around here other than that?"

"They're fine." And then they heard a loud bang against the wall of the garage that made both of them cringe. "...Well...things were fine...until Sonic and Knuckles started fighting, again." Tails said while lowering his head and twin tails.

"Again?" Sally exclaimed. Tails did nothing but nod his head.

"Sonic was trying to explain something to us...and Knuckles and I weren't exactly l-listening at the moment. S-so, Sonic got kind of fr-frustrated...and that made Kn-Knuckles get kind of frustrated. And now...they're in a fight, again." Tails told Sally.

"Oh." Sally answered back to the earful that Tails had just given her.

"So, was there something you needed?" Tails asked curiously.

"Well actually, I really came here because I needed to talk to Sonic. Do you think you could get him for me?" Sally asked. Tails looked up at her with a look of momentary fright in his eyes, and Sally knew that it meant Tails wasn't capable of stopping the two tornadoes.

"Don't worry, then. I'll get him." Sally walked into the house and made her way to the garage. As she opened the door, she wasn't surprised to see the two boys yelling and going at each other. Things were getting destroyed fast; broken machine parts lying on tables, tools aimlessly tossed around on the floor, and plenty of other now-useless objects could be found almost anywhere. Tails, who was now right behind Sally in the doorway, threw his hands on his head and immediately looked panicked. "THE GARAGE!" He exclaimed, loudly. "AUNT SALLY, DO SOMETHING!"

Sally put two fingers in her mouth and whistled as loud as she could to make the boys stop tussling. And they stopped. And when they did, they searched for the source of the singled-out sound.

"Oh, no." Sonic said under his breath when he saw who was in the doorway of the garage.
