Something I thought of as a way of explaining why Sonic hasn't lost his fear of water yet.
Please review!
"I can totally kick your butt at skee ball!" Sonic taunted, as Knuckles and he walked around the arcade. There was a nearby skee ball machine that gave a free jumbo stuffed chao to anybody who scored over 500,000 points. Not that the stuffed chao mattered to Sonic- frankly, he just wanted to obliterate Knuckles at skee ball.
"Oh yeah! I bet I could beat you any day!" Knuckles retorted.
"A bet, huh?"
"A bet, I suppose. You lose, you have to take swimming lessons."
"What about you? Oh, I know... you lose, and you have to take Rouge out on a date!"
"Well, that's harsh, but I'm going to win, so I suppose it doesn't matter. So, you're on!"
Later at the check-in desk in the local recreational center...
"He totally kicked my butt at skee ball, and, to rub it in, got a jumbo stuffed chao. Which is why I have to take swimming lessons." Sonic grumbled towards the bright and cheery receptionist.
"Okay, Mister Sonic. Please fill out this form and we'll set up a lesson for you today. Remember, public lessons cost 30 rings, and private lessons cost 60 rings." the receptionist answered cheerily. She happily handed Sonic a piece of computer paper with questions on it.

Sonic sighed and began filling out the form, while Knuckles checked to see how much memory he had left on his video camera.
