Returning Home

Ch 1: Wake up Call

It is nice sunny day on a war torn island. There are many small towns on the island, they used to hold many refugees, but that was up until last night. Today everything is different. There are many people on the streets having a celebration. You can hear cheering and many fireworks. Even the soldiers are relaxing. These people aren't human though, they mainly consist of hedgehogs and kitsunes, even some echidnas. Even from the destroyed castle on the highest hill on the island, you can hear some faint cheering and partying.

"Uh..." Said a small yellow-orange kitsune. He just woke up from a long sleep. He gets up and walks over to a destroyed wall in the large room he is in. The room is used as a hospital room, but since the destruction of the castle it is just used as living space. The orange fox looked in a puddle of clear water in a small crater from the destroyed wall. His reflection is perfect in the still puddle. His face is dirty. He has sky-blue eyes and big fox ears. They are pointed and slightly rounded at the end. He has three curved hair clumps on his forehead. The white fur of his muzzle is anything but white. It is all brown and grey from the rubble. His short orange fur is also grey and muddy looking. He grabs one of his tails, yes he has two tails, and he looks it over. He cups his hands into the water and splashes some water on his face. It helps somewhat, but he wont get clean unless he takes a bath. "Man, I need a shower."

"Hmm...Tails...your awake..." Said a cute female voice. She is a kitsune as well. She has light blue fur and long reddish-brown hair. Her fur and hair are grey and muddy a little. Tails is much more dirty than she is. She is just sitting in her bed with the sheets up to her armpits. She is hiding the fact that she has no shirt on at the moment. She is just looking at Tails with loving eyes. She doesn't want to say anything else because she is just listening to the distant parties and bird chirps. Looking over to her left, there is another person sleeping two beds away from her. He is a blue hedgehog with three long spines showing. The spines are spread out on the pillow. There are a pair of red shoes on the end of his bed. They have a white stripe going across the middle. Each stripe goes to a golden buckle on the grey soles. The girl fox looks over to the foot of her bed and sees a ragged pink cloth with small holes burnt into it. It isn't an ordinary cloth though. It's a bio-engineered tech-cloth. It enhances the users body 50 times than normal people. "My cloth is ruined. And I have nothing to wear. I can't run around naked."

Suddenly the door opens and someone approaches Tails. "Quit your complaining, at least your alive, little girl." He is a black hedgehog. His spines are curved upward, except for the 2 middle ones and the 2 that are on his back. He has red streaks of fur on his head spines and the backs of his arms and legs. He is wearing two gloves with a red tongue and black sock-like cuffs. Each glove has a golden ring around the tongue in front of the black cuffs. He also wears two hover skates/shoes. They are red, black, white, and yellow. The tops look just like the glove cuffs. He has a tuft of white fur on his chest.

"My name is May, ok Shadow. And get out of here I have no shirt on!" May grabs her pillow and throws it at Shadow's head. But realizing this was the wrong thing to do, she hid under her sheets.

"You better hide, or else I will drag you out there and take your sheet away." Shadow turns back to face Tails.

Tails yawns. "It's too early for this guys. What do ya want shadow?"

"Well, I need to go somewhere for a while, I'll be back in a few days."

"Ok, but where are you going?"

"Err...You know when we talked in the Tornado3 that one time. Yeah her." Shadow was walking and heard May giggling. And saying stuff like 'oohh, shadow has a girlfriend' under her sheets. He just ran out of the door.

"Ok, why don't you wear the tech cloth?" Tails threw it at her. "Im sure it has a healing function." Tails walks over to her and pokes her.

"Hey, that was my butt. Well, it's ok with me. Just leave the room so I can change." May is about to remove the sheet. Tails flew out of the broken down wall. May comes out of the sheets. "Ok, tech-cloth heal." The tech-cloth started mending its burns and holes until it was fully repaired. May touches it and it wraps around her body again. Only her legs, arms, head, and tails are exposed now. "Tails, you can come back now."

"Coming, I was just bathing in the river." Tails was soaking wet, but his fur was bright and clean. "If you want to bath in the river, just climb out that destroyed wall and turn right and head straight into the woods."

"Thanks, but I just got dressed, and besides there might be a place we can stay in one of the towns. Then I'll take a hot shower-" May stopped suddenly and looked at Sonic. His eyes are moving, like hes about to wake up. Tails runs over to Sonic. May just stays there with one hand up to her mouth, watching.

"Augh...Uh..." His eyes slowly open. And looks around. "T-tails...where am...I..." He tries to lift his head but fails.

"SONIC!...Your okay." Tails looks at him for a moment.

"Wait...where's Eggman? Why am I in a bed? Who's that?" Sonic is kind of freaking out.

"All right, here's the truth. It's really bad, but you have to know. If you remember, we were going to fight Eggman on the Ark. He had this machine and teleported us to another planet." Tails gets interrupted.

"Oh...yeah, I remember that. So what happened, you just found me or something." Sonic looked confused.

"Let me finish, Sonic you were possessed by a demon during the warp. After I fell to the ground I had no idea what happened to you." After about an hour Tails had finished the long story.(i really didn't want to type that out) "And, that's it."

"Thanks Tails, you saved me from that thing. Your a real hero now."

"I only did what I thought was right. But I couldn't have done it without May or Shadow." Tails got up and walked towards May and walked her over to Sonic. "Sonic, this is my friend May."

"Nice to meet you, Sonic. Hey, Tails I'm your girlfriend, not just friend." May looks at him with an annoyed expression. Tails blushes.

"Oops. Yeah..heheh..I forgot to mention that, ever since we met I started to love her." Tails is blushing more.

"You don't need to be embarrassed. It's cool. At least your brave enough to admit it." Sonic looks down at the sheets.

"Sonic, I already know you like Amy." Sonic's eyes widen.

"What, how did you know! I never told you!" Sonic is looking at Tails shocked. Tails is laughing at him.

"Because, you just Told me." Sonic starts blushing now. "I learned that trick from Eggman." They just laugh the rest of the day away. Sonic is fully healed by the end of the day, and he's showing off his skills. "Show off!"

"Well, I am the best. I can do anythin-" There is a gurgling noise coming from Sonic's belly. "Man, I'm starving. Like I haven't ate in a month. What did Cinos do, become vegetarian. Hah."

"Sonic, I would recommend you not mentioning that name, the people on this world don't know who you were. They might want to kill you." warned Tails.

"Oh, right. I don't like being hunted down, not after going to prison twice."

"Uh...you went to prison?" May seemed nervous.

"Don't worry May, They were false accusations, Shadow did it." Sonic said too much again.

"Shadow did the crimes and blamed you? Oohh...I'm gonna hit him when he gets back!" May is angry.

"All Shadow did was steal a chaos emerald from a bank, and they assumed it was me. but he redeemed himself by saving the world with me, I made sure of it too. Man, I need some eats, fast." Sonic's stomach was growling even more.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know he was a hero also." May puts her head on Tail's lap.

"I'll get something to eat. I'll be back in the morning. You two have fun, heheh." Sonic ran out into the night.

"Hey, that's not right, Eww." Tails is really embarrassed now. He just layed back and fell asleep. The night is cool and soon May fell asleep also.
