Just realized..This was a story I started a year ago, but went on strict hiatus due to priorities. Anyway, enjoy chapter one!
The notable Sonic characters don't belong to me.
Finally, it was one of those typical days for Sonic and Tails again. Just free like the wind in the vast landscape of Green Hill. It was always a happy and carefree environment filled with the beauty any utopian landscape must have, that's why Sonic loved it so much. It was then though that something seemed out of place. A short figure sat under a tree; Sonic's favorite resting stop. As he and Tails approached the figure, it looked up quickly and crawled in fear to the side of the tree. Sonic, being Sonic, hated tears. "Hey, kid." He heard a short gasp from the young, lilac...hedgehog? "Where's my mommy!" she shouted as she faced him from the side of the tree. She wore a little green dress and bow over her quills which were the same shade of her, eyes. Her eyes were jade like Sonic's and her attitude reminded him of...her.
Anyway, "You mean, you're lost?" Tails asked. She puffed her cheeks and jumped up and down in her ballet shoes, "Yes I am lost mister! I'm scared! Where's my mommy?" Sonic knelt down to her eye level to get contact. If she wanted his help, he needed her to cooperate. "Where did you last see your mother? Were you ladies downtown at the Mobius Market, kid?" Her jade eyes never broke away from his when she answered, "Yes." Sonic stood up. "Well how about we take a look?" Tails, held his shoulder, "Sonic, why don't we just hitch a ride in the X-Tornado, Mobius Market on foot would be a merchant's maze." Sonic chuckled, "No problem. Hey kid," the young hedgehog looked up from the tree root she stroked her shoe on meet strong jade eyes as fierce as her own, "ever ridden in a plane before?"
It was like nothing she'd ever seen before, high above the ground, soaring through low sets of clouds. The fox pilot did a twirl just for the fun of it. "HahahaHaha!" the young hedgehog laughed, but her fantasy of flying straight into space was cut short when the older hedgehog walked to her location from outside the plane. Her jade eyes looked up and into his, causing a short delay in his speaking, "...So, got a name kid?" She looked down into her lap then back at him, "My name is Lily." Sonic wondered where he had heard that name before and why he wanted to know the origin of this nostalgia. "That's pretty cool. How old are you?" She smiled for some reason, proud of her age, "I am four-years old! Hehehe. Excuse me mister fox? Twirl the plane again!" Sonic signaled Tails to swallow the temptation and keep monitoring the Market below.
Sonic got her attention again, "What does your mother look like?" Lily gazed past Sonic and to the clouds. "She's very very pretty... She has peach skin and pretty pink quills and stuff...and," Sonic's heart skipped a beat. Please. Her eye color, please it can't be, "…Pretty emerald eyes!" Lily concluded with a smile. Sonic's stomach flipped. The description was all too familiar, not to mention, he had left after she- "Mister?" Sonic looked back down at the child. "What's up?" Lily pointed northwest down at the Market, "There's my mommy!"
Tails nodded to Sonic, who then held Lily close and jumped out the plane. "Ahhhh! What are we doing!?" Sonic squeezed her a bit, "Hey hey don't be scared, I gotcha." They landed in the spot where a turtle family had been before a wolf in a local booth pushed them out Sonic's way. Sonic noticed Lily's trembling figure, "guess I could've warned her before grabbing her like that for a dive. "Hey, Lily, everything's okay now, relax." Lily straightened herself, "Well what about mister fox?" Sonic looked up. Tails was the best pilot he knew. He'd be a-okay. "Tails will be okay, he has mad skills with technology." Lily smiled, "Okay mister!" Sonic remembered the lack of an introduction, "I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog." Lily smiled. "Hehehe Sonic! I like that name. It's funny because that's the name of my —"
Gee, I wonder what she was about to say :P
Please review and have a nice day!
