Author's Note:
Hello everyone! I've always wanted to try writing a 'Sonic The Hedgehog' fanfic and this is my very first attempt, though it is a oneshot, I'm still excited about it. I got the idea as I was watching my brother play, I believe it's, 'Rise of Lyric'? Anyways, I was watching him play and I thought to myself, 'Gosh he must get tired. . . all this rescuing he's doing.' and that's how I came up with this idea, xD Please, enjoy!

Hey! Sonic here, I uh. . . don't quite know what to put in this thing. Someone told me that if you get a diary, no - no, a journal to write things down in, that it'd help clear out the mind of stuff that, y'know, needs clearing. So it might be a little jumbled, but that's totally how I feel right now. So I'm just gonna give it a go. So, let's go.
Don't get me wrong, I love being your 'go-to' guy when you need help, when you're in a jam or when the world needs saving again and again and again. But sometimes, there comes a time when I'm just tired or I want one day to myself or maybe I get sick sometimes. I may be an incredible hedgehog with supersonic speed, excellent combat skills and a bunch of other wicked stuff, but even I get nailed with the common cold every now and then. I don't really have time to relax and take the day off, why? Because evil never stops, evil-doers are pretty energetic people.
When you're in charge of saving the world and rescuing it from impending doom, you can never be too tired for the job. What if I am tired though? I can't admit it, I just have to get up and seek revenge - putting the same bad guys to shame over and over. Not that it isn't awesome every single time, it's just. . . I feel like it's all I do, in a way it is but. . . I don't do anything else besides that. Do you get me?
I don't spend much time with my friends either, whenever I do it always gets ruined with one villainous scheme after another, the worst part is that they're usually predictable to boot! It's usually the same thing just on a different day. Sometimes in the same week! It gets. . . y'know, stale after awhile. I can't imagine me doing anything else, I don't want that. I'm just saying that it would be nice if I could just, have a little time off here and there - that's all.
It would be nice to experience a complete day of rest, equipped with a few chili cheese dogs, oh yeah, kickin' my feet up to chill all day. . . but then something blows up somewhere in the distance, or someone screams, or is chasing me suddenly, or some sort of intrusion happens and I can't keep a social life. I don't want to be alone, but it's hard to maintain my friendships, let alone have a relationship of any kind. . . loneliness isn't something I want, but it might be my only option.
I guess this hedgehog is just gonna have to face reality. It's my duty to keep the lives of those around me safe. I've never failed to do so and I won't start now. I have the heart and soul of a hero - even if it does mean burden.
A hero's work is never done.
I would love to hear your thoughts, thanks for reading and giving me a chance!
