Sonic Chrysanthemum

I do not own all Sonic characters (except Sereine), they are all rightfully Sega's. This is my first attempt not only at fan fiction, but also in writing an enjoyable story. I really hope you all like this. It's based on SA2 (Sonic Adventure 2 for those who have never heard of it), but of course in a different POV. I do not need harsh criticism, I'm only a teenager -.- Anyways, I will be making more stories, and I hope you enjoy them all. ^-^

Deep in a green forest, two hedgehogs stand off towards each other, panting from the fight that they had. One had royal blue fur and a determined, yet angered look in his eyes. The other had black fur tinted with crimson on his body and quills. Both were bruised and beaten, and just as they were going to give the final blow, a beeping sound was made and an old man spoke "Shadow, the islands set to blow up! I suggest you get going or else you will die along with the residents!"

"Blow up!?" The blue hedgehog exclaimed. The black hedgehog retaliated and ran off deep into the wilderness

"I gotta get outta here! Tails and Amy are waiting for me!"

The hedgehog ran deep into the unknown wilderness ahead of him, dodging every obstacle that stands in his way, all the while with the clock slowly ticking away. Each agonizing second, even nanosecond, was pitted against this hedgehog. As he nearly reaches the runway close the prison, he hears an indistinct female voice, humming sweetly in the forest. He turns his head to the right, and in the midst of a patch of flowers surrounded by trees whose wooden arms were covered in vines and moss, a female hedgehog with dark sky blue fur sat there, humming a beautiful tune and smelling the flowers. The hedgehog was a bit afraid to approach her. He simply stood there in awe and amazement behind a large tree as he gazed at the female hedgehog. He could not believe the beauty she had, nor why she was even there. As he slowly approached her, a twig snaps beneath his shoes. The female hedgehog turned at the sound and said with a frightened voice "Who's there? Whoever you are, don't come near my flower patch! I worked hard making them beautiful, and I would be very pissed if that all went down the trash!"

The blue hedgehog was silent for a moment. He was astonished at the sound of her voice: feminine and sweet, yet a bit gruff and tomboyish. Finally, he came out from hiding and spoke in a sarcastic voice "Sorry if I disturbed your kingdom princess!"

The female hedgehog replied in an angered voice "Oh, trying to be smart huh? Is that any way to treat a someone, especially a girl when you first meet them?"

"Hey, you're the one who got snippy, not me!"

The two glared at one another for a whole minute. As the two were about to continue arguing, the blue hedgehog stepped on a beautiful red rose by accident. The female hedgehog's expression was shocked, and in a very angered voice she said "You stepped on my flower you freaking jerk! How could you!? And it was so pretty too!"

The blue hedgehog laughed nervously as he said "I'm sorry! It was an accident, I swear! I had no idea it was there!" The female hedgehog hit the blue hedgehog's head with her fist, leaving a nasty bump on top.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?"

"For being rude, a jerk, and invading my privacy!"

"I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to be rude or a jerk! I swear!"

"Hmph! Like I should believe you!" The female hedgehog crossed her arms and turned her back as she was quite angered with the blue hedgehog. The blue hedgehog stood with a sad look on his face as he thought to himself "Man, I blew it! Why did I have to be such a jerk? I'm so stupid! I should've just walked up, said hi, and get to know her." Under his breath, the hedgehog said sadly "I'm sorry."

The female hedgehog turned around and saw the remorseful look upon the blue hedgehog's face. She walked over to him, and said in a sad voice "I forgive you. And, I'm sorry as well. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. It's just been so long since I've talked to another person, let alone an animal, that I've closed myself off from the world, hiding in this forest and being at peace with the flowers."

"Well, let's start over. I'm Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog!" Sonic exclaimed happily as he gave a thumbs up.

"Nice to meet you Sonic, I'm Sereine." Sereine said as her expression lightened into a warm smile.

"So, why are you here all by yourself?"

"Well, you see, I used to live in a big city called Westopolis when I was little. Life there was fun at first, but when I started getting a fondness for flowers, I just gave up the city life and came all the way out here. Now I don't have car horns blaring every second. Instead, I have peaceful sounds of birds singing, water flowing, and nature itself." Sereine smiled at Sonic happily.

"I see. Ya know, I actually like nature and flowers too, even though I killed one of yours, but every now and then whenever I'm running somewhere, I like to stop and take in the scenery."

"You like flowers? You don't seem like the type of guy to like flowers that much."

"Well, I do. I know it makes me sound girly, but I love them."

"It's actually good to be in touch with your feminine side. Makes you more sensitive and nice."

"You think so?" Sonic said as he admired Sereine's looks.

"I know so." She smiled.

Sonic went over to a patch of chrysanthemums that were full in bloom and had beauty all over them. He noticed a red one standing out from the yellow and violet ones. Sonic delicately picked it, and handed it to Sereine.

"What's this for?" She said happily.

"Um, well, it's my way of saying sorry, and it's a keepsake for our first time meeting."

Serenie put the flower in her hair. She turned to Sonic and said "How does it look on me?"

"Beautiful" he thought, but instead the words came out as "Great!"

"Thanks. I'm glad you like it." Sereine smiled at Sonic with great warmth. For a moment, the two gazed at one another lovingly, until Sonic remembered something: The Island was set to blow up.

"Oh man! I forgot! The island's gonna blow in a minute! We gotta go now!"

As the two ran off, Sonic noticed Sereine's speed. "She must be running at least 715 mph. That's pretty cool if you ask me!" He thought to himself. The two finally reached the runway where a two-tailed fox and a pink hedgehog stood.

"Sonic! You made it in time!" The fox exclaimed.

"Yeah, it was a close call Tails!"

"Hey Sonic, who's that girl with you?" Tails asked kindly.

Yeah, who is she Sonic?" The pink hedgehog said out of jealousy.

"No time to explain! And Amy, knock off your crap! Now drive Tails! Let's get outta here!

Tails drove off the island in the Tornado II as quickly as he could. As the island exploded, Sereine looked back at the island with a sad look. Sonic put his hand on her shoulder for comfort and smiled, and Sereine smiled as well, knowing she has new friends and Sonic looking out for her.
