Chapter 1
"Reeeed! Pleeeaaaase?" I whined to my red haired companion, even though she's really strawberry blond. "What Edward?" she replied with an exaggerated sigh. "Pleeeaaassseee!" I continued to whine while running in circles. "I don't even know what you're talking about!" my red-haired friend replied. I froze, "Oh, yeah…. Well I can't remember now anyways. So shall we go?" I asked putting my hands behind my head and stretching to crack my back. She sighed again, "Edward," she stated giving me a look. I looked over at her, "Yes Zi?" I questioned innocently. "You're so short," she said before walking off. I frowned, "That's not nice Zi," I replied as I followed her. We walked in circles for a few minutes before I started laughing, "Zi, you have no idea where we are going do you?" I questioned. She froze and I saw her tense up before slowly turning her head to me, "Shut it Shorty so I can concentrate," she snapped before walking off again. We walked in circles for a few more minutes before she finally found the way we were supposed to go, "Ha see I told you, the whole time it was your fault for ruining my concentration," she stated haughtily, her tail fluffing up in pride. My red-tipped ears perked up, "Do you hear that?" I stated. "Hear what? I think your hearing range is as short as you," she stated. "Methinks I hear an epic battle!" I yelled before running off, my black and red-tipped doggie tail wagging behind me as I ran on all fours. "Edward! Get our short ass back here!" she yelled from behind me before she cursed and ran after me.
"Wow…would you look at that," I said while looking out at the massive destruction. I looked around for the one who caused it as Zi came up behind me and smacked me across the back of the head. "Whoa!" I shouted as I fell forward and rolled down the hill until I came to a stop near the middle of the destruction. I stayed on the ground, dizzy, before shouting, "Let's do it again!" When the dizziness went away I looked up to see Zi's feet in front of me, tapping impatiently. "Are you done playing little Edward?" she asked crossing her arms. "You're the one that pushed me!" I retorted as I pushed myself into a sitting position. She opened her mouth to reply but was cut off by a shrill, annoying, high pitched squeal, "Sonic!" the horrid voice shrieked. We covered our ears and looked over towards the banshee, where we saw Sonic and Shadow fighting a giant android, and from the look of it the android was winning. Sonic suddenly went flying past our heads and crashed into a tree behind us, while Shadow held his ground and pulled a huge gun out of nowhere and started attacking the metal beast. I heard a groan and turned to see Zi helping Sonic out of the hole his body had caused. "I'm going to go help Shads," I told her while she attended to his wounds. Before I left I saw him try to get up to fight, but, Zi being Zi, she forced him back down and nodded at me. I ran over to help Shadow while Knuckles, who apparently was here the whole time, got knocked into Julie-Su.
I pulled a giant bazooka out of nowhere and aimed it at the android before laughing like an insane person and shooting wildly at the metal beast. I attempted to shoot the stupid pink banshee while making it look like an accident, but the stupid android fell over and landed in the path of the rocket. I frowned before running over and crawling onto the beast. I pulled an important looking panel off and jumped inside where I created havoc and tore everything to shreds. I laughed manically while the robot started to catch fire and I heard Dr. Robotnik's escape pod take off. I looked around before realizing that the machine was about to explode. "Oh shit!" I yelled before booking it out of there, I got out and jumped right when it blew up, which sent me flying across the field and into a pond.
"Edward!" Zi called as I floated atop the water. "Zi, remind me to kill Robotnik next time we see him," I growled as I shook myself off and inspected my singed red-tipped tail, " This is going to take forever to grow back," I whimpered. "Stop whining Shorty" Zi replied. I shook myself off next to her so she got soaked, "Next time you go fight then. Hey where's my bazooka?" I asked while she shrieked indignantly. I looked around and saw it a few feet away from me. I walked over and picked it up, "There you are! You had me worried!" I said while rubbing my face against the cool metal of the barrel before I pushed a button on the side and it collapsed into a small square which I locked so it wouldn't accidentally deploy then I put it in one of the pouches on my belt. "So what happened while I was inside that thing?" I asked turning around only to come face to chest with someone. I looked at the white chest fur in confusion before I realized who it was in front of me, I looked up to look at the tall black hedgehog before I quickly backed away. He frowned at me then walked away, I watched him walk for a few minutes then turned away quickly so he wouldn't notice I was staring. I turned to Zi who had a large smug smile on her face, "You look like you just ate a bird," I told her which made her smirk more. "I saw that Ed," she taunted. I tensed up, "You saw nothing!" I snapped before someone stood behind me and coughed. "AHHHH!" I screamed before spinning around and getting into a defensive, ninja-like stance. Zi couldn't stop laughing while the person, who turned out to be Sonic, tried not to laugh at my strange position. "What?" I asked suspiciously. "Oh, um... Thanks…. Both of you," he added while giving Zi a dazzling smile, "I just wanted you to know that if you two need anything, just ask" he finished. "Yeah we will," I replied seeing as how Zi was busy staring at Sonic. Sonic smiled then said, "Well, see you two later," then he waved and sped off in a blue blur.
"So like I was saying… what happened while I was in there?" I asked while I lay in the sun to finish drying my black and red fur. "Nothing important; Shadow got angry, Sonic was upset that I wouldn't let him back into the fight, and Amy got angry that I was touching my Sonic," Zi stated. I smiled, "Your Sonic?" I asked mischievously. Zi sat there for a second before replying, "I never said that." "Yeah you did" "No I didn't" "Yes you did" "I said I didn't. End of conversation!" I smiled and whispered, "Zi and Sonic sitting in a tree." Zi huffed then got up and started walking away, "Zi come back! There are creepy people out there!" I yelled after her as I followed. Suddenly a hole appeared in the air in front of us, then a person popped through gracefully and landed in front of us. We both screamed and started throwing random objects at the trespasser, "AHHHH! See Zi! I told you there were creepy people around!" I screamed as I threw a giant mushroom at the person. The stranger suddenly grabbed Zi's arm, since she was the closest, and used her as a shield. I immediately froze, "Zi's been taken hostage! Don't freak out! Don't freak out!" I yelled as I stared at the stranger.
Suddenly I realized who it was, "Oh Dr. Finitee… um finitivu…. Um…. Dr. F! I didn't recognize you!" I said cheerily as I dropped whatever I was about to throw at him. The white echidna just stared at me then a tomato suddenly slid down his face and landed on Zi's head. I froze, and then started cracking up laughing while the doctor stood there and Zi tensed up, "What. Is. On. My. Head?" she shouted in shock. Dr. Finitevus slowly started backing away from us, "Well I must go, very busy you know?" "Ewwww! Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff!" Zi screamed while running around. I pushed her into the lake and laughed, "I think I got it Zi! You're nice and clean now!" I shouted in case she couldn't hear me underwater. She came up and glared at me, "I hate you Ed" she stated before doing a little kitty paddle to the edge and pulling herself out. I laughed at her while she pretty much emptied the lake out of her fur, and then pushed me into the lake. I came out sputtering water but still laughing, "Dr. F! Come join us!" I shouted to the slowly disappearing figure. "Uh…. no," he stated as he pulled out his warping ring and got the hell out of there. "Geez, you'd think we were some kind of plague or something," I stated before exiting the lake and shaking off next to almost dry Zi. "I'm going to kill you Edward…." She threatened. I laughed then started walking away, "Come on Zi, let's go find someone to play with," I said as she shook herself off.
