Good day, everyone! Welcome to the story~! :D
This is my first Sonic fic, but the third fic I posted on this site~! ^^
By the way, this takes place a few weeks after "Sonic Generations". Please tell me what you think! :3
Well, enough for the chit-chat now. Enjoy the story! ^^-
EDIT (12 December 2013) : With the release of "Sonic Lost World", this fanfic is now considered an AU fic. This because I've set this fanfic to take place a few weeks after SEGA's 2011-game "Sonic Generations", so any events from SEGA's 2013-game "Sonic Lost World" hasn't been happened here.
Oh, and just to let you know, the shoes Sonic wore in this fanfic was the one he used at SEGA's 2001-game "Sonic Adventure 2". :D ..I can't help it, alright? The design is VERY cool! It's a pity to know Sonic only wore it at one game... X_x
Adventure Through The Unknown
Chapter 1 : Normal Days
Mobius... a beautiful planet that contains so many unique places, where many expected and unexpected things happened, and where Humans and Mobians live peacefully...
Well, not really.
Because a mad doctor named Dr. Eggman, sometimes makes a 'mess' with their beloved planet. But thanks to the famous heroes, Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends, Mobius is always saved from the doctor's evil plans... or anyone else who's up to no good.
Now, Mobius was peaceful, since 'you-know-who' had been quiet these days. Not wasting this chance, Sonic decided to have a run around the beautiful scenery of Mystic Ruins...
"SONIIIIIIIC! GET BACK HERE AND LET ME LOVE YOUUUU~!"
"NOT A CHANCE, AMY!"
Well... not THAT peaceful.
Our blue hero was indeed planning to have a run... for fun. But the arrival of his self-proclaimed girlfriend made it turn into a run for his life!
Sonic is indeed the fastest thing alive, but the one who was following him now was a girl with years of chasing-practice!
For Mobius' sake! How come this girl never gives up?
"Amy! Knock it off already!" Sonic cried out, glanced back to the pink hedgehog over his shoulder "You're... uh... ruining my usual routines!"
"Not a chance, Sonic!" Amy exclaimed, and gave the blue hedgehog a smirk "I won't stop! This time, you're mine! For REAL!"
"If that's the case, then I'm outta here!" The cobalt speedster said, picking up his pace and leaving Amy nothing but dust caused by his boost.
"Hey! No fair!" The pink hedgehog cried out, also picking up the speed...

-Mystic Ruins, Tails' Workshop-
A sound of boiling water went through his ears. Upon hearing that, Tails quickly set his yellow notepad-like thing that he called 'Miles Electric' down onto the table beside him. After that, he rushed to the kitchen.
Quick quick quick quick quick quick QUICK!
As he reached the kitchen, the two-tailed fox quickly turned off the stove, making the 'threatening' sound of the boiling water cease.
"Phew! That was a close one." Tails said aloud, placing a hand to his chest in relief "Well then, on with the tea-making!"
As Tails opened the kitchen's cabinet, he took a jar of sugar cubes and a jar of tea bags. Upon taking the second jar, he noticed that the content of it were... empty?
"Out of tea bags already?" Tails muttered in slight surprise "But... I bought a bunch of tea bags just a few days ago!"
Placing the jar of cube-shaped white sugar onto the dining table, the two-tailed fox stared into the empty jar with a sigh.
"...Did I really drink that much tea?" Tails said while cocking his head in confusion.
Well, he did make a cup of hot tea every time he stayed up late or when being... busy, he called it. But did he make that much tea during these three days?
He was in deep thoughts when a light young, feminine voice spoke up.
"Yes you did, Mr. Tails."
Startled by the voice, Tails yelped as he fell to the kitchen floor, accidentally throwing the empty jar he held up in the air.
Seeing this, the newcomer's eyes widened. She brought her hands up, and managed to catch the empty jar, letting out a sigh of relief when she did so.
"I-I'm sorry, Mr. Tails! I didn't mean to surprise you!" The feminine voice of the newcomer's came again, as Tails slowly pushed himself up to a sitting position.
"I-It's okay, Cream." Tails said while rubbing the back of his head, and slowly got up to his feet "...So? How's the call?"
"Momma said she'll be back in about 5 days or so!" Cream said with her cheerful tone, clapping her hands together in excitement "Cheese and I can't wait 'till Momma is back!"
"Chao chao!" The Chao flying beside Cream cheered happily, also clapping hands together.
Tails smiled when hearing this. Same like his tea bags 'problem', it had been 3 days since Cream and Cheese moved in to his Workshop. Vanilla had something to do, so she left her daughter and her beloved Chao here.
"Well, that's good to hear" Tails said, as Cream handed over the empty jar to him. He then looked down to the empty jar with his sky blue eyes "Though, it's not good that I ran out of tea bags."
"Then we can buy some more, Mr. Tails!" The 6-year-old exclaimed, and brought her hands up in excitement "I was wondering if you would follow me and Cheese to the market today!"
"Chao chao!"
Tails was silent for a moment before he nodded.
"Well, okay." The azure-eyed fox replied, glanced to the pot he once used for boiling water "I could boil it again once I have gotten some tea bags."
"That's great!" The cinnamon-eyed rabbit then took one of Tails' hands with hers "Let's go, then! Momma said everything at the market has half price before noon today!"
Discount? Wow, Miss Vanilla sure knows a lot about this kind of thing.
"Chao chao!" Cheese cheered happily at Cream's side.
"W-Whoa! Slow down, Cream!" Tails said, as he hobbled due to his arm being tugged by the eager little rabbit.
Just before Cream could turn the doorknob of the door that would lead them outside, it suddenly slammed open and a blue blur went past them, making the 6-year-old rabbit yelp in surprise, while the 8-year-old fox merely seemed displeased with this, especially when he saw... the blue blur.
"Sonic..." Tails muttered under his breath, and seemed annoyed by the fact that he's the one that acted more maturely while his 'older brother' still acted like... a child. Seriously, Sonic was 16 now! He needs to grow up, for Mobius' sake! He can't always act like he wants!
He turned around and opened his mouth, about to yell at his 'older brother' when a loud, feminine voice was heard.
"SONIIIIIIIIIIIIC! GET BACK HERE!"
After that, both the fox and the rabbit witnessed a pink figure running into the workshop with a big hammer in hand.
"M-Miss Amy?" Cream muttered out, as she watched the pink figure's jade green eyes darted through their surroundings until it noticed a certain blue figure.
"I GOT YOU NOW, SONIC!" Amy exclaimed, while bringing her hammer up just behind her head as she ran up to her blue 'boyfriend', who quickly jumped away from the place he stood when seeing her charge.
"S-Stop it, Amy!" Sonic cried out, somewhat in panic "We're inside a house now! Don't you remember what they say about running inside houses?!"
"You're also running!" Amy snapped "You have to do better than that, Sonic the Hedgehog!"
Very clever, Amy Rose. I never knew you were good at noticing someone's mistake...
"Well I might be running, but I'm not wielding a weapon! Like you!" Sonic said aloud, glanced back to the pink hedgehog over his shoulder "Don't you remember what they say about using weapons?" He may look panicked now, but deep down within his mind, he smirked.
Got ya, Amy. Now how do you defend yourself, hmm?
"Well, I might be using a weapon, but that's because of an emergency!"
Well, that was a good reason to defend your-- Wait, what?
"Huh? Emergency?" Sonic blurted out, raising an eyebrow, his voice seemed 'unsure' at that last part "...'Emergency' of what?!"
"Emergency of getting you, silly!" Amy exclaimed, gave the blue hedgehog a smirk "Be prepared, Sonic!"
...Figures.
"Uh-oh! G-Gotta speed up!"
With that, the two hedgehogs started chasing each other, while Tails and Cream just sweat-dropped when seeing this.
"If they break one single furniture…" Tails murmured, as he turned around to the door "...I'll make sure they'll pay for a new one."
With that, the two-tailed fox walked out of the door, followed by Cream and Cheese, ready to do some daily shopping, and leaving the two hedgehogs to their 'Tag' game...

-Mystic Ruins, Forest-
Tails, Cream, and Cheese were now on their way to the market to do some daily shopping, their feet stomped through the fresh green grass below them (save for Cheese) as their ears were greeted by the voice of chirping birds around them. Although the sun was shining bright now, the big trees around them were protecting them from the heat.
If they had taken the fox's Tornado, they would have gotten to the market a lot faster, but the rabbit refused, saying something about saving the fuel or the ozone. Taking the hint about this 'fuel' and the 'ozone' thing, Tails agreed to go on foot instead of using the Tornado.
"Such a beautiful view isn't it, Mr. Tails?" Cream said, her cinnamon eyes looked to its surroundings in awe.
"Y-Yeah." The two-tailed fox replied, also looking to his surroundings in awe with the help of his azure orbs "It's been a long while since I took a stroll around here."
"A long while?" The young rabbit muttered, shifting her gaze from the green surroundings around her to the fox beside her.
"Uh-huh. Ever since Eggman started messing around in the cities, me and Sonic almost never got time to go for a walk and enjoy this amazing scenery of Mystic Ruins." Tails said, turning his head to his right, allowing his sky blue eyes to meet Cream's brown orbs.
"Most of the times, or should I say EVERY time, both me and Sonic always use the Tornado when we're going to some city whenever Eggman plans to take over or stuff like that." The fox said "Eggman seems to be 'quiet' these days, so I planned to take Sonic for a walk here, but... well, you know exactly how he's been acting lately, don`t you?"
"He instead got chased by Miss Amy." The rabbit said, and couldn't help letting a giggle escaped her lips "Still, I'm sorry, Mr. Tails. I should've known this would happen if I told Miss Amy where I was."
"No, Cream. It's alright" Tails replied, his azure eyes went up to the blue sky above him "...Maybe next day, Sonic will be free. And when that happens, I'll make sure I take him for a walk here."
"That's a good idea!" Cream said happily, clapping her hands together in excitement "I'm sure Mr. Sonic will be as happy as Mr. Tails today once he set his eyes to this beautiful scenery!"
"Chao chao!" Cheese followed, also clapping hands in excitement.
Tails smiled upon hearing this. Yeah, he also thought Sonic would love it once he took the time for a walk here. The fox had missed this beautiful view, so why wouldn`t his 'older brother' miss it too?
The three of them knew what to do once they got back to the Workshop; get their older 'siblings' to have a walk here tomorrow. Just thinking about it made the three of them longing for the next day to come...
But what the three didn't know was that a dark figure was observing them, concealed by the shadows of the trees...
"Hmm... Interesting."

-Mystic Ruins, Tails' Workshop-
It was 2.00 PM now. The two hedgehogs had stopped their wild 'cat and mouse' game. And it was a miracle to see that the Workshop was still nice and clean, despite the fact that Sonic and Amy had randomly been running to every room and corner of the Workshop.
Speaking of the hedgehogs, they were now panting heavily, sitting together back-to-back on the floor.
"M-Man," Sonic said between his panting "T-Talk about unexpected! You managed to catch up with me, Amy." He continued, as he wiped away some sweats from his forehead.
"O-Of course I did, Sonic!" Amy exclaimed between her panting "I dunno how, but I'm glad my hammer managed to avoid crushing any of the furniture!"
Figures.
"Yeah, I'm glad for that too!" Sonic said, somewhat in relief "Cause I'm sure if we broke anything, Tails wouldn't like it!"
He waited for an answer, yet he got none. Curious, the blue hedgehog took a glance to the pink hedgehog behind him. And when he did, he found her asleep.
He couldn't help but chuckled at this.
"Tired after all the running, eh?" Sonic thought, as a yawn escaped his mouth "And I guess... the same goes for me."
Not wanting to wake Amy up, the cobalt speedster tried making himself comfortable on the floor, by carefully leaning his back against the sleeping pink one's back.
"Well," Sonic thought again, his eyelids half-opened now "...see ya later, world."
As sleepiness took over, his jade green eyes finally closed, leaving the fastest thing alive asleep while leaning back-to-back with his self-proclaimed girlfriend...
And that's Chapter 1, everyone! :D ..Please tell me what you think about this lil' Chappie here! x3
..Anyway, if you guys wondering why Sonic is 16 here... Well, the wiki said like this;
"...As of Sonic Generations, he and the rest of the cast have been elevated by one year."
And that's why Sonic is 16 here.
Though somehow, I prefer him being 15.
Weird, huh? (EDIT [12 December 2013] : Maybe that's because I'm still 15 back when I first posted this... Now that I'm 16, Sonic being 16 suits me now.) xD
But... since it's a surprise birthday party FOR Sonic only back in "Sonic Generations", the others' ages were still the one we all knew. ONLY Sonic the one who got the changes here... xD
Woah. A pretty long "Author Notes" in the first Chapter? ...Whoa, sorry.
...Review, anyone? :D
