Author note: this is a story I made for a thread on the SEGA forums "How about a game where Sonic takes stabs at the fanbase? :D"

Tails: "Sonic, the container full of non-personified animals is over that hill."

Sonic begins spin dashing, shreading the greenery.

Knuckles: "NO WAIT, Sonic! I need your help! The master emerald has grown arms and legs and is break dancing all over Angel Island. You should help me or it'll get scratched!"

Out of sheer curiosity, Sonic spin dashes in Angel Island's direction, when..

Amy: "Sonic! A chartreuse salamander named Slipery is in Station Square, and needs your help! Or an ancient dragon that was sealed away under the city eons ago will awaken and wreck everything. And the city just finished rebuilding! You should help him!"

Intrigued at the idea of an epic, high speed battle against a dragon, Sonic spin dashes in Station Square's direction. But before he could spin forward..

Tails grabs his arm and yells "NOO-OO! No Sonic, no more friends! Please don't leave me alone with nothing to do but the busy work of inventing genius devices! I don't want to lose my best friend..." cue sad-little-brother eyes.

Sonic almost has time to "oh Tails" ruffle his hair, when..

Amy: "SON-IC! If you don't help Slipery and his wife Merma the Salmon, the dragon's rampage could cause the deaths of thousands of human lives in the city! Not to mention the train would be thrown off schedule!"

Tails: "No Sonic! Come save the malformed genetic rejects with the big heads. You know it well, and it's simpler this way! So simple you wouldn't even have to talk."

Before Sonic can suggest he can do both, a green figure on a hover board zooms in and breaks.

Jet: "Sonic! It's time for another World Grand Prix! Get your board and get ready to breath my after air...wait-"

Sonic tries to politely decline when he's interrupted by

Knuckles: "Uuggh, that makes NO sense! Why would you, Sonic the hedgehog, engage in recreational sport competitions. Come help me and the Chaotix handle this, and leave all these losers behind."

Tails: "NOO-OO!" Tails clings to Sonic's leg at the sound of this and continues begging him to not leave.

Amy: "SON-IIIC!" Amy grabs Sonic's wrist and starts weakly pulling him, reminding him of the details of the dragon.

Knuckles tries to talk over the others about his responsibility to the master emerald to keep it safe. Jet squawks about being the fastest thing on air.

Sonic tries to pay attention to everyone while pulling back from Amy and trying to get Tails to stop cutting off his circulation. His attention divided to Amy, now Tails, now Jet, back to Amy, Knuckles, Jet, Tails, Amy, TAILS, JET, KNUCKLES, JET, AMY, TAILS. AND THAT'S WHEN..!

A chao crawls up to Sonic. For a minute it just stands there. Then a swirl forms over it's head, but gives no clue as to what's wrong. After a minute, it cocoons, and vanishes.

As he looks at this, Sonic's massive, wide eyes form a single, red artery from his left eyelid to past his eye's gap.

Sonic becomes soo enraged, full of unbound anger. Confused. Tired. He begins screaming at the top of his lungs. Everyone goes silent as they watch something strange happen. Sonic's gloves rip apart. His snout turns pale, his teeth sharpening. Claws forming at his fingers, his figure bulking. As Amy and Tails let go of him, his fur darkens. He gives out one last roar of anger:

"RAAAAHHHH-AHH-AHHHHHH-will all of you yammering, selfish, closed-minded, neurotic, indecisive, short sighted, panicky big-mouths shut up and lay the heck off!" Sonic stands there with a heavy breath for a while. While entering a time of awe-struck silence, the other 4 people simply stand there, wide eyed. Sonic says looking down "..I'm going to play pinball.." and runs off on all fours.

..and then..

Everyone remaining turns to the camera and says:

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY EVERYONE!
