Yamia: Welcome everyone to (what I consider) my first Sonic fanfic! I have another Sonic fanfic wandering around here somewhere. I need new ideas for it…

Anyway! The inspiration for this fic, I shall tell you at the end of this chapter, okay? Lol. So enjoy, and don't forget to review! It gives me the inspiration and drive to continue writing. :3

Warnings: Umm, nothing really. But this chapter is kind of sad.

Innocent Sorrow

Chapter 0: Dream dream, sweet child

'In the nights, dreams delight. I want to see you-'

Blue ears perked up when the music ended. He was enjoying that song. The little blue hedgehog walked into the next room, where his master was sitting next to his radio. His master beckoned him over, the stretched a little, waking himself up and trotted over to his owner. The human scratched the hedgehog under his bright red collar, shaking his gold name tag.

"Hey Sonic, wanna go for a drive boy?" the human asked.

The hedgehog's blue tail wagged excitedly. He ran into the kitchen to the back door, eagerly awaiting his master. Sonic loved taking afternoon drives in his master's truck. It was so refreshing, especially in the fall. The wind blowing through his quills, the sun shining on his face, speeding through that moment in time. It was what he lived for. Sonic started whining when he saw that his master was taking to long.

"Okay Sonic, calm down. I just had to find your ball is all." The human sweet talked Sonic as he opened the door. The hedgehog zipped out, even more excited now that his toy was involved in this outing. His blue hands pawed at the passenger door. The human chuckled, opening the door and letting his pet in. His face darkened a little when he closed the door.

"I'm sorry Sonic…" he whispered.

Sonic had his eyes closed as the wind wiped his face and blew through his blue quills. A grin was plastered on his muzzle. The speed they were going at was exhilarating.

"You're a good boy Sonic. I'm glad I found you." The human mused out loud. Sonic paid no attention to him, to wrapped up in sticking his face out of the window and watching the forest blur by him. The human sighed a little as he started slowing his truck down. Sonic sat back and gave his master a suffering look with his big green eyes. The hedgehog wanted him to speed up again. The human put his truck in park and petted Sonic.

"Come on, let's go play."

Sonic perked up again and jumped out of the driver's side door as soon as his master was out. His master smiled and tossed the ball as far as he could. Sonic ran after it, through a forest thick with trees. The human knew how fast his little hedgehog was, so he jumped back in his truck and sped off.

"Ah!"

Sonic found the little green ball. He picked it, and with blue tail wagging, started running back to where his master was. He dodged hanging tree limbs and raised roots. Sonic loved playing fetch. His master was always saying he was good at this game, and so fast. The hedgehog smiled when he saw the black asphalt. But there was no white truck. Where was his master?

Bright green eyes scanned the area around him. Maybe his master was playing hide-and-seek? Unprotected feet walked along the gravely road. Sonic ignored it. He had walked barefoot on gravel and road so many times, he was immune to the pain. The hedgehog stopped, and sat on his haunches, his ears flatten against his skull.

"Master?"

Yamia: The end of chapter zero. Yes chapter zero. Lol. Sorry for it being so short. It is called chapter zero for a reason. So anyway, the inspiration for this fic. It was inspired by a commercial I saw on Animal Planet. In it, this man was taking his little dog( a small mutt) on a ride in a country road. They parked, he threw a ball and the dog went after it. The guy jumped in the car and sped off. The dog came back with the ball and put it down after he saw his owner wasn't there. The poor thing was abandoned! But the commercial got funnier, when the dog started talking smack about his owner, and "hello animal shelter!". Basically, it was a commercial about dog adoptions and how people abandoning their dogs like that really happen. So about two minutes after that commercial, I started thinking about how I could incorporate that 30 second commercial into a multi-chapter Sonic the Hedgehog yaoi fanfic. Then I wrote this prologue chapter in 20 minutes during my English class today(lol).

Yeah, long paragraph is long, lol, but it had to be said. I don't know when I'll have the next chapter up, college takes away all my free time. But stay tuned, and don't forget to review! Please just don't read it and favorite it. I would like to know what you all thought about it. Thanks!
