Sonic strolled through the Thorndike household, stomach grumbling.
He was terribly hungry.
He was heading towards the kitchen to get something to eat while avoiding Ella. She always seemed to lecture him on what he chose to eat.
He approached the kitchen and stood under the cupboard.
He jumped to reach but missed it.
He stood on the countertop to and almost reached a packet of Pop Tarts, but no luck.
Sonic was used to this as he was the average height of a common bathroom sink.
He grunted in frustration.
Cream walked in the kitchen door and caught Sonic struggling to reach the box of pop tarts.
She hovered up to the cupboard and got the packet for him.

"Here you go Mr Sonic" She said politely.

"Thanks Cream" He answered as he smiled, slightly embarrassed.
Suddenly Sonic was called to the TV by Chris.

"What is it?" Sonic asked rather mellow as he chewed on a pop tart.

"A strange being has been spotted in the city centre,
Local towns folk are unsure wither it is friend or foe.
One thing for sure it is causing allot of fuss in the city"
Sonic and Chris exchanged looks and decided to solve the problem.

-
Sonic and his gang made it into the city centre to find that it was in chaos.

"All this over something they don't know is good or bad yet?" Knuckles stated as he looked around.

"Look over there!" Tails pointed at the 3 car pileup on the road.
Once they got closer they realised it was a familiar face.
Well, for some.

"Scorch!" Exclaimed Amy and Sonic.
Sonic in a less-then-impressed tone.

On the ground lay a dark grey hedgehog, his spiked were messy with orange at the tips and he wore an Orange sleeveless jacket with white fur on the hood.

"Who?" Knuckles questioned.

"A friend of mine and Sonic's from back home, you don't know him?" Amy said as she lifted Scorch's head off the ground.

"Yeah, friend" Sonic growled.

"Chris we can't leave him here can we take him back to your house?" Amy asked.

"Of course you can!" Chris answered.
Sonic rolled his eyes.
It was Knuckles who was forced to carry him, as he was the strongest.
Sonic trailed behind the group.
Knuckles decided to join him.

"Why do I get the feeling you don't like this guy?" he said as he pointed at Scorch.

"Uh, we just never got along too well" Sonic breezed over the topic.

"Heh, Ok" Knuckles said in return.
He didn't believe him of course.

-

They laid him down in Chris' kitchen.

"Ok then how do we wake him up?" Knuckles asked.

"What if he's dead?" Sonic added.

"SONIC!" Amy scolded.
Sonic shrugged nonchalantly.

"Hello, Mr Scorch!" Cream called politely.

"What about a little electric shock? I heard that wakes people?" Tails over calculated.
Sonic sighed, loudly.

He stood over Scorch and crouched down.
He grabbed his collar and pulled him close and slapped him hard across the face
and again,
and again.

"Sonic!" Amy said as she attempted to stop him.
Scorch's eyes flickered.

"Wait its working!" Knuckles said as he pulled Sonic away from Scorch.
Scorch opened his eyes.

"What the..." he said holding the back of his head.
His eyes met the blue hedgehog in front him.
Scorch jumped to his feet.

"SONIC, bro!" He proclaimed at Sonic while gesturing for a fist bump.
Sonic rolled his eyes and was about to 'Bro Fist' Scorch when he locked eyes on Amy.

"A-amy?" He asked.
Amy nodded happily.

"Oh my god, you look so different!" He said as he lifted Amy off the ground and spun her around.
Amy giggled.
"Oh" Knuckles said and looked at Sonic with a devilish grin.
"What?" Sonic said throwing a glare at Knuckles.

"You haven't changed a bit!" She said with a smile.

"Hey Scorch you haven't told us how you got here yet" Sonic interjected brashly.

"Oh that's right, well that's the problem.
All I remember is a bright light and I ended up here!" he said with an unfortunate chuckle.

"So who's gonna show me around?" Scorch asked.

"C'mon" Amy said as she led him around the house.
Knuckles nudge Sonic and smirked evilly at him.

"Shut up!" Sonic retorted.

"Didn't say anything!" Knuckles teased.

-

"And finally our room!"
Amy concluded.

"Our?" Scorch joked.

"Where all of us sleep" Amy clarified with a giggle.

"Also this is Knuckles, Tails, Cream and you know Sonic of course" Amy said pointing to her friends.
They all great with a polite hello with the exception of Sonic who simply waved sarcastically.

"Hey it's a really nice day how about we go out and hang in the garden!" Amy chirped.

"Sounds good!" Scorch agreed.

"Yes!" Cream agreed also.
They all began to head outside.
Sonic dropped on the floor angrily with his arms crossed and a pout on his lips.
Tails turned to Sonic.

"Something wrong?" Tails asked concerned.

"I just can't believe scorch is here!" Sonic spoke threw his pout.

"Well he's not that bad Sonic" Tails replied.

"Ah don't tell me you like him tails?" Sonic sighed.

"Why don't you like him?" Tails wondered.

"Um... I just never really got along with him..." Sonic shrugged.

"Are you sure you're not jealous?" Tails said with a smirk.
Sonic scoffed and got up to walk away.

Outside Amy and the rest of the group were sitting together Sonic was lying under the tree in the back garden, with his eyes closed and arms folded behind his head.
Chris ran franticly into the garden.

"Guys, Eggman's robots are attacking again!"

"Jeez this guy never takes a break!" Sonic hissed.
The group jumped to their feet.
Scorch lifted Amy up by her arms and smiled as he took her hand.
Sonic scowled at the sight and sped off to the city centre ahead of them.
Sonic was met by a 10 foot robot stomping threw the town.

"Should be a peace off cake, its slow!" Sonic said cocky as usually and jumped up to the robot, curled into a spikey ball and headed for the torso of the robot.
Sonic collided with the robot only to feel a painful shock coursing through his body.
He fell back onto the ground.

"WHAT THE F—" Sonic began, getting cut off by Bokkun with a message for Sonic from Eggman.

"MUA-HA-HA-HA, See if you can beat me now Sonic"
Sonic squinted at the screen irritably.
*BOOM*
He forgot about that part.
Bokkun laughed sadistically as he attempted to fly away.
Sonic leapt to his feet and grabbed Bokkun by the legs

"Come 'ere you little son of a bitch" Sonic said as he pulled him back.
Just when the rest of the gang showed up they were greeted by the sight of Sonic shaking Bokkun upside-down and shouting profanity at him.

"Sonic?" Tails asked as he pointed at the 10 foot robot that was wreaking havoc on the town.
Sonic smiled sheepishly and let Bokkun go.
He turned to the Robot slowly approaching.

"Ok so it's got electrical currents running threw it what to do…" Sonic pondered.

"It has electrical currents running threw it right?" Scotch said as he seemed to have just appeared next to Sonic.

"How did he find that out so fast!?"

"Oh ya fairly obviously really" Sonic lied. He didn't have a clue how someone would figure that out without getting a massive shock.

"Water should do the trick" Scorch suggested.

"W-water?" Sonic asked with a gulp.

"You don't still have that silly fear from when we were younger do you?" Scorch smiled devilishly.

"No." Sonic answered bluntly.
He lied of course, he was cripplingly afraid of any water.
"I'm sure running on the water with enough speed would create a whirlpool that would just engulf the robot" Scorch added with an annoyingly fake smile.

"Go near water?! No way!
There's got to be another way to do this…"
Sonic thought inside his head.
Sonic smiled the biggest fake smile he could back at Scortch.

"HEY BIG UGLY ROBOT, I'm just a little hedgehog that I'm guessing Eggman told you do destroy!" This caught the robots attention and it began to follow Sonic.
Sonic headed to the ocean surrounding the city.
The robot got closer and it looked as if Sonic would have to get into the Water at this stage.

"N-no way!" Sonic thought.

"Need some help—" Scorch suggested.

"Nope, I got this" Sonic denied before Scorch had even properly finished his sentence.

Then, Sonic did something extremely stupid.
Suddenly he leaped onto the back of the robot.

"What the fuck?" Knuckles said dumfound.
Scorch raised his eyebrows.
Sonic felt the piercing electrical shock coarse threw his body as he push the robot over into the water and darted away from the ocean not to get sucked in by the splash.
He looked over at his friends.
They were all in shock of the stupidity.
Sonic was black from the burns of the electricity.

"Job done?" Sonic said proudly.
Amy ran over to Sonic.

"Sonic that was crazy, what were you thinking?! You could have died!" Amy scolded.

"It worked didn't it!?" Sonic boasted.
Amy scowled at Sonic but Sonic walked on as if he didn't care about her concern for him.
Amy sighed loudly.
Scorch approached her and put his hand on her shoulder with a broad smile.
Amy smiled politely back.

-

Amy jumped through the doors to the house.
Startling the rest of the household.

"Let's all go to the beach!" She proclaimed happily.
There was a brief silence.

"Why?" Asked a confused Tails.

"For something fun! We haven't been on a FUN outing in forever; it would be a great way for us all to bond!" Amy explained quickly.

"I think it's a great idea" Scorch agreed with Amy.
"Let's do it!" he said as he turned to the rest of his friends.

"Good Luck getting us all to go" Knuckles added.
Amy pouted.

"Yeah, Sonic will never agree to going to the beach" Tails said with a little chuckle.

"What if we don't tell him it's the beach?" Amy said with a wink.
Knuckles and Tails looked at each other and smirked.

"He's upstairs" Knuckles informed Amy.
Amy headed up the stairs to the attic which was the room where Sonic and all his friends shared.
She opened up the hatch on the top of the step ladder.

"Sonic?" She called.

"Yeah?" a voice called back.
It sounded as if it was coming from the balcony.
She walked out but there was nobody there.

"Amy?" Sonic said as he hung upside-down from the roof.

"AH!" Amy said startled by Sonics sudden appearance.
Sonic flinched at her outburst.

"I was wondering if you were going to join the rest of us in going on an outing!" Amy said happily.
Sonic thought for a second.
This is usually where he would say no.

"Ok" Sonic said which surprised Amy.
Amy grinned.

"Come on!" She beamed.
She dragged him down the stairs.

"You can go in the plain with Tails!" Amy said.

"Ok, so where are we going?" Sonic asked.

"Town Square, the forest, I'm not sure yet!" Amy said happily.

-
Tails and Sonic were flying over the beach.
Sonic was completely relaxed; he had his feet perched on the back of Tails seat and his arms folded behind his head.
Until he noticed that Tails was circling the beach in his plane.

"W-what are you doing?" Sonic said starting to get agitated.

"Stay calm Sonic" Tails said attempting to re-assure Sonic.

"NO NO NO NO NOO!" Sonic shouted as he stood up on his seat.
Tails landed the plane on the beach.
Amy and the rest of them were already there and had unpacked all their belongings.
Amy approached the X Tornado.
She saw Sonics expression.

"So you figured it out then?" Amy said looking up at Sonic.

"Let me out" He retorted.

"It's ok Sonic; I'm going to teach you how to swim!" Amy said with a smile. Tails opened the top of the Tornado and Sonic tried to escape. Amy grabbed both his hands with her own.

"It's not gonna be that bad!" Amy said with a bigger smile, clearly trying to reassure Sonic.
She pulled on Sonics arms to get him closer to the ocean but he wouldn't budge.
Amy was getting irritated.
She used her ridiculous strength and dragged him down the beach.

"No no no no no!" Sonic said as he clenched his eyes closed and shook his head.
"What's the problem Sonic?" Scorch asked Sonic, appearing next to him out of nowhere, as usual.

"Why would something be wrong?" Sonic answered sharply, instantly holding back his obvious fear of water.
Scorch raised his eyebrow.

"Common Amy lets swim!" Sonic said putting on bravado in front of Scorch. This instantly stopped once scorch was no longer close enough to see Sonic's fear.

"C'mon Sonic, the tides not even in! Look Cream and Tails are having fun and there out farther then you" Amy pointed out.
Sonic gulped.
Amy took his hand.

"It's ok, I'm here" She added with a warm and calming smile.
She pulled him gently into the water.
It only reached up to the cuffs on his shoes; he wouldn't go any further yet.
She could feel Sonic's hand shaking.
Amy looked over at him to find his whole body shaking, he had his eyes clenched closed and he was muttering something to himself.

"S-Sonic, if you're really that scared you don't have to—"
Amy started.

"How's it going guys?" Scorch appeared again.

"This guy never takes a break does he?!" Sonic thought.
Sonic tried to hide his fear as best as he could while Scorch was near but it wasn't such an easy task.

"Sonic, are you STILL afraid of water?" Scorch asked.
Sonic stayed silent but still couldn't control his shaking legs.

"Aren't you a little old for silly fears?" Scorch asked once more.

"Scorch" Amy said attempting to shut him up.
Sonic couldn't think of an appropriate comeback, after all Scorch was practically perfect. No fears.
Sonic retorted with a very loud grunt and stormed out of the ankle deep ocean.

"Sonic!" Amy called compassionately.

"Amy I'd leave him have his space, he's hard to reason with when he's angry" Tails said.
"Wow that was a tad over-dramatic?" Scorch said turning to Amy.

"You shouldn't have done that Scorch" Amy said seriously.

"Come on at least now we can have fun in the water! Sonic wouldn't have gone in any deeper anyway!" Scorch said as he intertwined his and Amy's hands.
Amy blushed slightly with a childish grin while trying to keep a serious face.
She felt bad for Sonic though.
It's hard to overcome a phobia.
Still, she did sort of like Scorch but in what way?
She really couldn't tell yet.
