Please tell me if I do anything wrong. This is my first story, so please go easy on me. I think I have to do a disclaimer saying that the characters are not mine. *Disclaimer* I do not own any of the Sonic characters. I don't think I need to say anything else so please enjoy the first chapter.

It was about six in the morning when Sonic's alarm beeped noisily. He sluggishly rose out of his bed and turned off the alarm clock. He clumsily walked out to the kitchen and slipped in a puddle of water. " Tails!' He screamed pulling himself up from the ground. " Yes?" Tails asked walking into the kitchen. " Didn't I tell you to clean up the water you spilled last night?" he said wiping off his shoes with a paper towel. "Well yeah, but-" "shh!" Sonic interrupted turning up the radio and sitting on the table. " Locals woke up last night to a crash in the museum. The owner of the museum Mr. Prower inspected the place thoroughly before finding out that the crash was caused by a thief who broke into the museum at night and made off with a chaos emerald. Sadly, the thief made off without any proof of who did the crime. Although, if rumors are to be true, the locals say they saw a suspicious red vehicle drive away from the museum with a dazzling gem in their possesion, but the windows were too tinted to see the suspect." The radio announcer said.

Sonic and Tails looked at each other, probably thinking the same thing. " Red car? Doesn't that seem familiar?" Sonic asked turning off the radio. " Doesn't Shadow have the only red car?" Tails said swinging his legs as he sat on the table." Do we go find Shadow?" Sonic asked grinning. " We do." Tails replied grabbing his plane gear. They both ran outside to the garage where the Tornado was sitting. Sonic hopped onto the wing of the plane, while Tails got everything ready for take off.

Tails started to polish the propellers. " Almost ready." Tails said jumping into his seat. He put on his helmet and goggles and started up the biplane. " Shadow's house is cross the plain not far from here." Sonic tried to yell over the noise the plane was making. " I would say it's a fifteen minute ride since we have to go across the town and then across the vast plain." Tails said also trying to scream over the plane's engine. The wheels started to roll across the driveway and soon the plane started to lift up. When they were fully airborne, the wheels disapeared into the plane. They passed many different houses and people too. There were fancy mansions that belonged to wealthy people and tiny, wooden shacks that belonged to poor people. Sonic usually felt bad for those people, but today (he didn't know why) he just didn't take much notice to the hungry families. Soon, they reached the end of the town.

That's when things got out of hand. A red light started flashing on the plane and a terrified expression was glued to Tails's face. " The plane's malfunctioning!" He screamed trying to pull the falling plane up. Sonic held on tight and grapped Tails. They were both on the wing now and they were about a hundred miles above the ground. I have to think and fast! Sonic thought looking around, holding Tails's arm tightly. " We don't have much time!" Tails screamed on the top of his lungs. They were now about fifty feet in the air when Sonic did something he never thought of doing. He jumped.
