Prologue:

7-year-old Flame the Hedgehog walked across the beach, accompanied by no one, the sand going through his toes. (He only had one pair of shoes) His eyes caught something sticking out of the sand in a distance. He quickly ran over, dodging the crabs and lobsters that were reaching out to pinch him. He finally reached the board. A grin widened across his face. He gripped the board, pulling it out. It was stuck in the ground more than he thought. He started pulling harder. It flew out of the ground along with Flame. He stood up and examined the board. He's seen people use these kinds of boards all the time! It had flame designs all over the board; it had a blue streak on the bottom that wrote: Built for speed. It had mud, and cracks in it. He put the board on the ground, and it floated! He jumped on the board, and dropped, he fell on his back. He had no idea of what his future would be like.

Chapter 1:

"Yeah, that was fun!" Flame won another race with the same messed up board. "Your board looks messed up, you should upgrade it at Tails' shop!" Flame's opponent called. Flame dashed to the shop, but crashed into the door. He laughed. "I crashed into a door again!" He opened the door to the shop and walked up to the counter. Around him were many examples of boards with different designs on the bottom. He reached the counter, but saw no one there. "TAILS!" There was a crash in the door that read: STAFF. Tails came out of the door looking at his new customer. "Hi can I get you anything?" Tails asked. "Can I get my board 100% fixed please? And something called an… ugrade?" "Yeah, but after I upgrade it, you have to form a bond with your board, and train with it a lot." "Ok!" Flame gave Tails the board reluctantly, but after a while the board was fixed. "Can I get a design on it too?" "Sure." Tails mumbled. "What do you want your board to be called?" Flame never thought of that before. "I have to think about that, can we do the design later?" "Yeah, sure." Tails said. Flame started walking out with his improved board. "Wait, you should go meet Sonic!" Tails called. "Ok!" Flame exclaimed while nodding his head. Flame reached the door and then called out: "Thanks for the oograde, Tails!" Flame sprinted past all the boarders, with them wondering how he ran so fast. "He finally stopped to ask someone where Sonic was. "Hey, have you seen someone named Sonic?" "Yeah, he's at the training field." "Thanks!" Flame threw down his board and started riding it. "Whoa!" He thought. "My board's never gone this fast before!" He's never road his board since he left Tails' shop. Flame was practically in a surfboard position. Flame went upside down in the Zero G tube. Flame reached the training field and saw Sonic with some other kids his age. He ran right up to Sonic and tapped his shoulder. Sonic turned around. "Can I join?" Flame asked. "Uh… sure, your name?" "Flame… the Hedgehog." Sonic's eyes opened as he dropped his board. Sonic started bear-hugging Flame. Flame squealed and tried breathing but he couldn't, He managed to utter the words: "Can't… breathe." Sonic let him go and introduced him to the class. "Class, this is Flame the Hedgehog, my brother."
