It's a sunny day in Mobius. The sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and the grass is as green as ever. Of course the weather would be like that because the gang are all having a picnic on a hill outside of Station Square. Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Cream, Rouge, and heck, even Shadow is there!

Shadow is a midnight black hedgehog with a tuff of white hair on his chest and red stripes on his head quills. He is the other living being to match the great Sonic the hedgehog's speed with the help of his rocket powered boots, I might add.

Rouge is a white bat with pink wings and she goes crazy after anything that's shiny. Shadow is by Rouge talking about military stuff. You know…cuz it's like their job, or something.

Then there is Tails and Cream sitting to the right side of the first two. Tails is on orange fox with bright blue eyes, but that isn't the most noticeable thing about him, he has two tails! When he spins them helicopter style, he can actually fly.

Cream is a cute little peach colored bunny rabbit. She can fly also if she would flap her long ears. Tails is talking all geek and using big words and stuff while Cream is just listening. Or at least trying to, poor girl, he could have been planning a mass murder and she wouldn't have guessed.

Then to Tails' right there is Knuckles looking at his spiked white knuckles muttering to himself sounding something relating to the Master Emerald. Him and his stupid rock…he is a red echidna and his quills droop down looking a lot like dreads. He keeps on glaring at Shadow and Rouge, mostly Shadow, because Knucklehead has a wittle crush on Rouge, but she doesn't know that yet.

Amy, on the other side of Knuckles, is looking at the air with a faraway look in her eyes…probably daydreaming I guess. About what you ask? I don't know and don't plan to ask. She is a bright pink hedgehog with long hair and a very intense obsession. What is it you ask? I know the answer to that one…it's me!

I'm the nicest, fastest, and strongest hedgie around. And no, I am NOT overdoing it, every single word is true! Anyway, I have cobalt blue fur with the sharpest quills you can find. Seriously, even metal isn't a threat. That's one of the many reasons I won't allow Amy to touch me, to keep her from getting hurt. Ok, that's a minor reason, but still one nonetheless. I just put my guard up when she has that strange look in her eye.

Well I'm getting a little off topic here, the reason for this picnic is to celebrate another one of Eggman's ruined plans. It was the easiest one yet! He must be getting dumber with old age...but anyway he built a robot to try and take over the city. The problem was that Eggman never tried out the robot until he let it lose, and to our pleasure, the robot didn't even move. All I had to do was kick it and the bot went down. We all looked at Eggman, stared at each other for a moment, and then Eggman ran away screaming.

"I'll get you for that hedgehog!"

I looked at the gang, shrugged and asked, "Who wants to celebrate?" Most yelled 'yeah!' and Shads just nodding in response.

That's how we all ended up here, just chilling and me stuffing my face with the world's best chili dogs! I, always the one to start up conversation, spoke up-

"Mmmmmff mff mm mff?"

-and fail miserably because of my cheeks being swollen as a chipmunks.

"Sonic, please swallow whatever you have in your mouth and try again…" Rouge sighs.

I grin sheepishly, swallow, and try again. "Heh what I meant to say was that I wonder if Eggamn is just gonna quit now since he just reached the pathetic stage" I chuckle. "I mean really? That bot was nothing!"

"Huh yeah I agree with you Sonic, if Egghead comes back around again, we will just laugh at him and defeat him like we always do!" Knuckles states proudly. It's always like him be so cocky…well I am too, but we aren't talking about me here!

Then Amy, coming back from her fantasy she had been in for the past 10 minutes, nods at Knuckles' statement and turns around to beam at me.

"Yeah Sonic! You show that egg what you can do; you always beat em and you always will!"

I sweat drop and before I could say anything Shadow cut in. "Hn, he wouldn't to be able to do anything without us, mostly me. Isn't that right, Faker?"

"Awwww is Shads jealous of the world's superhero?" I grin as he scoffs.

"Nowhere close."

"Come on guys! This is supposed to be a fun time, right?" Rouge pleads. "But Sonic, Shadow is kind of right here…we all help take down Eggman."

I look over to her and smile. "I know Rouge! I was just pulling Shads' leg over there."

Shadow tenses because of the nickname but before he could speak Tails cuts in. "Yeah, but Rouge last time was so easy because the rotating gears stopped working and caused the metalloid robot to dysfunction, right Cream?

Everyone just stares at Tails with confusion written on all their faces except Cream's, who nervously answers. "Yeah Tails, t-that makes perfect sense!"

We sweat drop when Tails beams at her. "See? She agrees!"

Silence hangs in the air.

I cough, "Well guys its getting kind of late." I stand up stretching while Amy watches. I inwardly shutter. "I'm about to go back home just in case to stupid, old Eggy decides to pay me a visit."

"Faker, stop underestimating him. Remember he had you trapped last month?"

"Hey! That was a fluke! How was I supposed to know-" I let out a scream and hold my head. What…what is this?

"SONIC! Sonic where does it hurt?" Tails yells as everyone jumps to come towards me.

I give him a weak glare and grit out. "My head…obviously…"

Suddenly the pain was too much and I fall back down on my knees still holding my stomach.

"Sonic, you have to tell us what's wrong so we can help you!" Knuckles pleads but I couldn't answer him, the pain is just horrible.

So I just shake my head and feel myself start to tremble. I try my hardest to stop but then the pain becomes unbearable. I strain to focus on the conversations swirling around me, but only hear part of it.

"My love! We have t-"

"Faker just had too many-"

"No, I've known Sonic for a long time and no chili dog has-"

"I agree with Tails, he has had more chili dogs than he had today before!"

"Tails and Knuckles are right Shadow, this is no food poisoning."

"H-hey! We have to help him!"

The pain is nothing I have ever experienced before; it feels like I'm being ripped apart! I can feel sweat sliding down my face and my breathing is becoming ragged and shallow. It hurt everywhere but the worst part was my head. I have a serious migraine and I try to rub my temples, but my fingers refuse to function. Now that I think about it…I can't move anything!

The tremors got stronger and the conversations are getting softer. Now I am in full fledge panic mode, not only was my hearing failing me, but now I am beginning to get tunnel vision. But I can't tell anyone, I can't speak, and moving is not even a possibility right now. It feels like I'm not even in my own body anymore; my body is starting to go numb. Is this the end?

Then there is a very sharp pain in the left side of my face. It isn't like the pain before, I will gladly take this over the other one.

Yelping, I fall on my side in the grass and my hearing and sight return. But my body is still hurting and numb.

"SHADOW! Why in the world did you just slap him?!" Rouge yells.

"Well it snapped him out of it, didn't it?"

Then Knuckles starts to yell next, not helping my migraine one bit… "Are you crazy? You just caused him more pain! Don't you ever think-"

"Stop…just stop." I wheeze, "Just take me…somewhere. The ground is…kind of hard, you know?" I try to laugh but it hurt and sounds like a dry cough instead.

"Ok Sonic."

Ah gotta love Tails coming up with plans so quickly. "Umm Shadow, you pick Sonic up by his left arm and I'll do the same to his right."

Shadow grunts in response while I am starting to freak out because it's going to hurt when they touch me. Maybe I'm so numb that it wouldn't hurt, but luck isn't on my side today.

As soon as Tails touches my arm, the pain increases. It is excruciating and I hold my head back in a silent scream. The others see this and freeze except Tails, who pulls back his hand.

Still panting, I hear Knuckles speak. "Well Tails, this is your first bad idea! I'm writing that down in the books!"

I hear everyone let out a forced chuckle. The pain in my arm fades and I glare at Tails the best I can in my state and it's good enough because he winces and looks away from my gaze.

"S-sorry Sonic."

Then out of all the people there, Amy speaks up. "Umm, well he did fall conveniently on the picnic blanket so if four people get each corner and two people get the sides, we should be able to lift and carry him to Tails' place since it's the closest."

Everyone looks at her, ok maybe she is useful. "Good…thinking Amy." Rouge starts. "I like her plan, come on guys, let's go. Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, and I will have the corners while Cream and Amy get the sides."

They run to their respective places and take hold of the cloth and pick me up. I let out a groan because the cloth feel like it's burning into my skin, but it isn't as intense as when Tails touched me, this I could bear.

About 10 minutes later we arrive at Tails' place. We barely fit through the door, but thankfully no one touches me on the way in. Most of the pain had subsided, not all the way gone. They unceremoniously put me down on the couch. I don't mind at all; it is better than being on the hard ground outside.

No one spoke until, "Hey Faker, can you talk right now or you going mute on us?" Shadow eyes me from afar.

"Ye-yeah." I wince, my voice is so squeaky! Clearing my throat I try again. "Yeah I can speak now…thank goodness!"

The group let go of the breath they've all been holing.

"Mister Sonic, what happened to you back there?" Cream asked hugging Cheese.

I realize that this question is on everyone's mind as they look at me quizzically. "Well, I don't really know myself. When I stoop up, some intense pain washed over me and I know it didn't have anything with the food because the pain was mostly in my head. I had a serious migraine, was sweating, and numb."

There is a collective gasp in the room.

"The worst part was that the pain didn't go away and my hearing and vision was failing me too. I couldn't move either; I was just struck facing the never ending pain. I even started to think I was about to…you know…because I was numb all over."

I glance over to Shadow who looks mildly upset, "And then for whatever reason, Shadow decides it was fine and dandy to slap me. It might have looked dumb, but that's what restored my sight and hearing back. So thanks Shads."

"Anytime." Shadow smirks. I playfully glare at him.

"So, how do you feel now Sonic?" Knuckles asks.

I grin, "Better, now I just feel sore all over."

"That's good to know Sonic, you had me worried out there." Rouge says and looks at her watch. "Wow, it's already 8:45! Come on Shadow or we are going to be late for our 9 o'clock meeting."

With a grunt Shadow follows Rouge to the door. Rouge looks back and gives a wave while Shadow leaves with a nod.

A couple hours later everyone begins to filter out. Knuckles goes to watch the Master Emerald, Amy has to get home before both of her parents had cows, Cream goes home too, and Tails says he's going to the twenty-four hour store to get some headache medicine for me in case it comes back.

Now I being to feel today's effects. I am dead tired. I fluff my pillow and pull up the blanket Tails got for me from his closet. As soon as I close my eyelids, the pain comes back, ten-fold. This time I can scream and I don't care if people around the world could hear me. The migraine and blazing pain all over my body is back with a vengeance. But now, something feels different.

Something is pulling, hard.

My hearing is muffled, I have black spots in my vision, and I can't feel my body anymore. My voice goes out and feel myself going under, fast. I try to get up to go to the phone, but my feet get caught in the blanket. I fall and hit my head on the ground before being pulled into the black abyss.
