Keep It Crescendo
Chapter 1: The Door Of Opportunities
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the songs that will be named within this fanfic, they all belong to their respectful owners. All the Sonic characters belong to SEGA.
Trigger Warning: REFERENCES TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE! AND IT HAS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, but nothing too hasty, just a heads up.
Warning: This is how I call a "Storybook Story," just like Blackshade and The Three Musketeers. Therefore the characters may be a little OC and the plot has nothing to do with what Sega has created cx, but I promise it won't be too drastic. Any of my stories related to the Sonic Universe like Two Different Worlds, Two Different Sonic and Hey Arnold ft Sonic Boom are not OC and in my opinion will be tagged along to any story SEGA has created, (even though it's not but hey let me dream cx) For more info about the difference between a "Storybook Story" and a "SEGA Universe Story" go to my profile and it'll be there :)
Shadow: Just start already
Me: Okay! Geez!
Los Angeles, California, 9:14 pm
The song boomed throughout the club, the lights flickering through the room.
Sonic jumped onto the dance floor and moved to the beat of Bonnie Tyler's Holding Out for a Hero.
His opponent, Jet the Hawk, did a flip in the air and blew a kiss at the ladies who swooned at his actions.
Sonic smiled smugly and did a triple 360, causing the crowd to stare at him in shock.
Why wouldn't they? He was the dance legend of Los Angeles.
Jet stared in envy as Sonic grabbed the crowd's attention.
If someone was going to beat Sonic, he'll gladly step up to the plate.
If he managed to beat Sonic through dance battle Club Red's dance club, the biggest dance club in all Los Angeles, he'd become the legend and throw Sonic the Hedgehog off the charts.
Jet got on the floor and lifted his legs and jumped back up to a standing position.
"Anybody can do a cart wheel Jet," Sonic smugly responded as a crowd of 'ooooo's' flowed through the dance club.
Sonic did a headstand and did a head roll, and spinned around until the song ended.
The crowd burst into applause as the announcer walked up to the stage.
"Wasn't that a show everyone! But as usual, the audience will choose the winner through your applause! For those of you who thought Jet did a better job can I hear your applause!"
The crowd stayed silent as only two people with the names of Wave and Storm cheered Scourge on and screamed his name.
"Oookay... For those of you who thought Sonic did a better job can I hear your applause!"
The crowd burst into applause yet again as Sonic bowed down and winked at the ladies, who fainted at his acknowledgement.
Sonic walked towards Tails and high-fived him.
"Great job pal, you stole the show!"
"As usual" Sonic said confidently as he sat down at the bar.
"One margarita please," Sonic turned to Tails. "Want one buddy?"
"No thanks, Cream would go berserk if she found out that I drank"
"Geez man you're really letting her tie you down"
"She's my wife Sonic, what do you expect? If I were you I'd start thinking about marriage too"
Sonic laughed at the idea, "Me? Married? Get real, there ain't no woman who can tie me down!"
"We'll see about that" Tails smiled as he drank his soda.
"For you sir," the bartender said as he handed Sonic his drink.
"Sonic reached for his pockets.
"It's on the house," the bartender winked as he went to go take other people's orders.
"Well, aren't you quite the celebrity," Tails said as he glanced at Sonic.
"I know right, just you wait Tails, one day I'm going to be a famous choreographer"
"What about your father? What about your master's degree in business administration?"
"I only took the course to shut my old man up about that whole me being useless and not being able to be anything in life just because I have a passion for dancing thing"
"He still doesn't support it?"
"He's been against it ever since I was a kid, he saw it as a phase that'll supposedly pass but here I am 24 years old and still passionate for the same dream"
"You need to understand your father Sonic, bare in mind that he needs you to take over Hedgehog Industries after he retires"
"But I don't want to be in charge of that stupid business, Manic can take over it if he wants to, I don't understand why I have to take over it"
"Because you're the oldest male in your household, besides Manic is barely completing his senior year of high school, your dad can't wait that long Sonic, he is becoming old and tired, he needs to retire but he knows that he can't do that until you become responsible"
"Responsibility is for the weak"
"No, it's something everyone is prone to do at some point in their life, hasn't the idea of settling down, holding your own business, coming home to your wife and your kids ever crossed your mind?"
Sonic laughed, "That won't happen, at least not now, right now all I care for is my freedom and dancing"
Tails sighed, there really was no way to convince him, trying to get Sonic to be responsible was as hard as getting Cream to dance at a party, but her shy and sweet nature is what he admired about her.
"So where are you and Cream having your honeymoon?"
"We chose New York because she wants to visit her cousin Rouge."
"And you don't mind the fact that you'll be spending time with her family members"
"Of course not, here's something you need to learn about love Sonic, for the one you love, everything they do or like becomes what you do and like, and it never bothers you because you know that's what'll keep them happy"
Sonic looked at him in boredom, "That has got to be the cheesiest thing I've ever heard from you"
"We'll see who's the one who'll be mimicking cheesy lines when you find your soulmate Sonic the Hedgehog"
"Tails, Tails, Tails, I've told you once, and I'll tell you again, I'll NEVER fall in love, nothing can out beat my love for dancing"
"Mmmhmmmm" Tails said as he sipped his soda again.
"And can you stop with that Kermit the Frog meme face that you're making, honestly!"
"But it bugs you and it's just so fun!"
"Whatever Tails" Sonic said as he finished his drink.
"Let's get going, we don't want your wife blaming me for you going home late." Sonic said as he got up.
Tails followed through and followed Sonic out of the club as he left a tip on the counter.
"Excuse me but are you Sonic the Hedgehog?"
Sonic and Tails looked up and noticed a man standing tall.
He had a big brown beard and wore a suit.
"Yes... that's me"
"Nice to finally meet you, my name is Ivo Robotnik Eggman, and I am the owner of Eggman Studios, ever heard of it?"
"Isn't that one of the best dance studios in New York!?" Sonic exclaimed.
"Yes, that is true"
"It's such an honor to meet you!" Sonic said as he shook Eggman's hand.
"Yes, yes, I have a proposition for you?"
"Which is?"
"I saw you dancing and I am interested in having you as one of my top choreographers at my studio"
Sonic and Tail's faces stood agape in shock.
"You want me too..."
"Yes, I want you to work for me, I pay good money, and I'll pay for your trip to New York"
"Sir I'm flattered but..."
"You're worried about Mr. Hedgehog's opinion and you want to consult it with him first?"
"You know my dad?"
"Why of course, he's the owner of Hedgehog Industries, the company that produces dance clothing and materials isn't it?"
Sonic nodded, fascinated with this man.
"Alright so talk about it with your father then give me a call" Eggman smiled as he gave Sonic his card.
"I will, I'll let you know of my response as soon as possible"
"Very well, I'll be expecting your call" Eggman walked away as Sonic turned to Tails.
"Can you believe this Tails!?"
"Dude this may be your big break!"
"I know, all that is left now is to talk to the old man..."
Well there we have it! I know, I know it's short but bear in mind that it's the first chapter.
Shadow: Where am I?
