Sonic eXtra

Hello to everyone who will read this!

Welcome to my first sonic story. (Oh, B.T.W, I'm messing with the ages and dates/eras a bit, so no-one E-mail me complaining about it.) ;P.

P.s.: means scene change,
'Blah' : means thinking.

Now, enjoy!

The sun blazed down on the glistening white permafrost as a lone figure struggled to run, through the settlement, from the monstrosity underneath her. She slipped and fell, grazing her elbows on the rough ice. She struggled to her feet as a circle of teeth shredded where she had been seconds before. Her only thought was:

'Godda keep it away from innocent people... it's me it wants...'

She leaped onto the nearest vehicle to hand, ignoring the owner's obscene words of displeasure, kick started the engine and raced away to the airport, hoping to leave it behind...

"Finally some time to relax..." murmured Sonic, more to himself than to Tails. The 19-year-old hedgehog shifted slightly on his log as the sun slowly sank below the level of the trees, catching the last rays of heat on his blue spikes, his once red and white trainers (his only clothing) now caked with mud.

"Don't know what you mean." said Tails, a smirk on his 14-year-old foxy face and both his tails twisting absent-mindedly. He had a reason to smirk. His only job had been to attach the roof plating on the houses of Knothole.

Sonic opened one eye and gave a warning glare to him. He took the hint.

"(Of course it might have been easier for you if you hadn't sneaked away with 'Aunt' Sally like that...)" whispered Tails.

Sonic's eyes snapped open and punched his friend in the arm, mumbling something about 'getting more wood'.

"Riiiight," said Tails with a voice dripping with sarcasm, rubbing his arm. "And I suppose you two coming back with bits of twig in your hair is just a coincidence, then?"

Sonic went slightly red under the eyes and pretended he hadn't heard that.

Their talk was interrupted by:

"Um, Excuse me?"

Sonic glanced up at her and didn't give her much thought. Tails did likewise, but his eyes snapped back to her and he quietly said:

"...Wow"

For standing before him was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

She was about his height, about 13-14 years old, with long, smooth, blue hair that partially came over her amber-colored eyes, held back by a gold-colored headband. One tooth came over her bottom lip, so she had a quite threatening look about her. She wore a sleeveless black tank top, slightly too small for her, and a black mini-skirt. She had white red shoes on and her fur was pure white. Tails could tell at once she was an arctic fox.

"I was wondering if you could help Me.," she asked. She spoke with a slightly Australian accent.

"That depends on what help you need." said Sonic lazily, closing his eyes again.

But Tails at once got to his feet and said, with a slightly panicky tone,

"Sure, what can we do?"

Even Sonic was surprised.

"Well," she said, looking slightly flattered, "I'm new around here and I need somewhere to stay. Do you know anywhere?"

"Well, sure," started Sonic. "There's-"

"Our place!" interrupted Tails, looking back at Sonic with a pleading look in his eyes. Sonic was puzzled for a moment, then he realized what his friend was talking about. He hid his smile, leaned back and said:

"O.K., why not?"

"Aw, you ripper, mate!" exclaimed the girl. They stared at her, surprised. Slightly blushing, she said to them both, "Sorry, thanks. My name's Alana by the way." Then she held out her hand for them to shake. Tails took it, and did the last thing he expected.

He kissed it.
