A sprint through Spagonia

Sonic and Tails were walking through the streets of Spagonia on a lovely summer day. "I can't believe we're in Spagonia again!" Tails exclaimed happily.

"I know! I almost forgot how great it is here!" Sonic replied, grinning and cracking his knuckles excitedly. He jumped into the air, and when he landed, Sonic dashed into an alley, running just for the fun of it.

"Hey! Wait for me Sonic!" Tails called, laughing. He jumped up and twisted his two fluffy tails together. Tails started to fly after Sonic, not wanting to get left too far behind. Sonic looked over his shoulder to smile at Tails, then speed up. Tails could tell that Sonic was in the mood for a race, so he too speed up. The sun was shining brightly as the two friends sprinted all over the orange-roofed town.

Sonic finally decided to let Tails catch up, skidding to a stop and turning around to watch the young fox catch up. Tails almost crashed into Sonic as soon as he turned around. "I'm not as slow as you think!" Tails teased his buddy.

"I guess you showed me!" Sonic replied. "Hey, do you want something to eat? I know I'm starved from all that running," Tails just nodded, feeling breathless from the race. "Okay then, lets go find some good food. There must be a restaurant somewhere around here," Sonic rubbed his belly, then began running again through the town, but this time slower, so he could look for restaurant signs.

"Sonic! Here's one," Tails called from farther back behind Sonic, pointing at a red and green brick building.

"Great! Let's go in." Sonic trotted back to where Tails was, and they walked in together. The menu wasn't half bad, but Sonic wanted to leave because they didn't have his favorite food; chili dogs.

"Sonic, I don't think that many restaurants serve chili dogs, so why don't we just stay? I'm sure you'll find something that you like!" Tails tried to convince Sonic to stay. Sonic stood up, but sat down decisively. They ordered the same dish, since Tails found something that he would like, and Sonic just wasn't willing to look for his own dish. "See, that wasn't so bad!" Tails remarked after they had finished their meals. Sonic was staring out of the window, looking bored.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Not that bad! But let's get moving again!" Sonic jumped up to his feet, accidentally bumping into the table, which caused the silverware and plates to rattle. Thankfully, nothing broke. "Everything's fine over here!" Sonic announced loudly to the people that had turned to see what the disturbance was. More quietly, he said, "Let's go, Tails." Tails stood up and followed Sonic out the door, because they had already paid for their meal.

They stepped out into cool air, a sunset in the horizon. "Wow, that's a really beautiful sunset!" Tails cried out admiringly. Sonic put his hands on his hips and gazed up at it.

"It sure is, Tails. It sure is."
