Chapter 1: Grassy Green Hills.
A straw blade flew trough the air. It landed on a pattern of dark and light grass. As it lay there peacefully for about a second or two, a strong wind gushed trough the area, making the blade spin away. The approaching wind was accompanied by a blurry vision of a blue ball. The ball rushed over the grassy path, which transitioned into an unnatural loop. The blue ball followed the loop, but fell down halfway. He landed on the ground, and the blur was revealed to be a hedgehog. The hedgehog stood up and brushed the dirt off his shoulders. "Damnit...someday I will complete that loop..." Dissapointed that he couldn't traverse the obstacle, he took a side road into the green hills. He followed the path upwards to the tallest hill in the area, and reached the small cabin on the top. He opened the door and looked inside. It wasn't a very large household. It had one bedroom, a tiny kitchen, a toilet and a living room. Inside the den stood a sofa, a coffee table covered in magazines and cans of soda, a radio, two lamps and a few plants. This is were the hedgehog lived. In a small cabin on the top of Green Hill Zone. Not that it was very interesting down there. Green Hill was mostly nature, and there was only one small rural town. Not that the hedgehog needed it. He only visited the town's shoemaker, the tailor, and whenever he had the time, he would buy a Chili Dog there. Then he would spend the rest of the day running. When the evening fell, he would rush back home. Then he would either listen to the radio for a while or fall asleep. The next morning, he would do it all over again. This is the life he knew. At least, until now.
The hedgehog walked into town for his daily routine. After visiting the tailor, he walked to the chilidog-vendor. "Hi there Sonic. The usual, I guess?" "Got that right." The hedgehog answered. After recieving his chili-dog, he walked to a bench and peacefully consumed the snack. Then the hedgehog heard a noise behind him. "Back off! That's mine!" He looked behind and saw two goons. They were harassing a small yellow/orange fox. Then they ran away. Sonic walked towards the fox. "What's going on?" He asked. "They...they stole my computer! Can you do something?" The fox sniffed. "I'm onto it." Sonic replied. Without effort, he caught up with the thugs and tackled them. He took back the computer and gave it back to the fox, who hugged Sonic. "Thank you so much! That computer meant the world to me, how can I thank you?" Sonic shrugged off the grateful fox. "That's okay. You can buy me another chili-dog. And try to stay out of trouble next time." The fox looked down. "I can't really say I will. These guys have been bothering me for a while now. I own a small garage in the Mystic Ruins, but everytime I go here to buy new tools they're trying to steal my stuff. It's very annoying and I can't do anything about it." Sonic looked to the helpless fox. "I see. I did hear about a gang of bandits further in the mountains though. They're notorius for stealing equipment from lone travellers. We should pay them a visit." He suggested. The young fox shivered. "A-are you sure? I don't think I like the look of this." He said. "Don't worry. You've got a guardian now! So what's your name little buddy?" "It's Miles Prower. But I prefer to be called Tails. What's your name?" "It's Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog." Sonic and Tails shook hands, and then headed for the mountains.
