Chapter 2
Alvarez
Sonic arrived at the spot where he had left Amy in seconds to find she was now wearing a swimsuit and was attempting to sun bathe on a towel without wearing any sun cream, something she would likely later regret. "Oh hey Sonic!" She called turning her head towards him as he approached.
"Hey Ames." He replied cheerfully and sat down next to her. He yawned and laid down looking lazily up into the clear blue sky.
"You were gone for ages!" she complained sitting up.
Sonic gave her a questioning look. "I was gone for 10 minutes max." He said confusedly. "You sure the sun isn't already getting to you?"
Amy shook her head. "I suppose it was just being away from my Sonic that made it seem so long." She gave a cheery smile.
Sonic smiled but then averted his gaze attempting to avoid another one of those awkward moments he had with Amy. She was just about to open her mouth again when the perfect distraction arrived in the form of a slightly breathless, yellow fox who collapsed next to Sonic panting.
"Thanks for waiting up Sonic." he said jokingly.
Sonic chuckled. "Sorry buddy, but you know I can't resist the urge to run full pelt."
Tail's sighed. "I guess not, that's why they call you Sonic." He smiled. The three of them engaged in conversation for the next couple of hours unaware that the weather around them was starting to change. Darkened clouds began to mass in the skies and the sun was blocked out causing a darker tone to fall over the beach. This was the first indication to the group that something wasn't quite right. Sonic looked up and as he did so a raindrop fell on his nose. A second later the downpour started, raindrops hitting hard on the surface of the sand causing miniature craters on its surface. The three of them ran for shelter under the trees in the jungle behind them. Once they were under a large leaf that kept them relatively dry Sonic shook himself only getting the others wetter. "I hate this stuff." he said, his hair sticking up comically.
"We'd better get back to the hotel." Tail's suggested. "At least there we'll stay dry." The two hedgehogs nodded in agreement and they started the walk back to the hotel. On their way lightening crackled in the distance followed by loud, rolling thunder which caused Tails to leap into Sonic's arms. Sonic rolled his eyes and set the small fox down.
"Seriously Tails?" He said glaring at him.
The fox bowed his head and sighed. "Sorry Sonic. You know I scare easily sometimes."
Sonic's stern face melted into a smile and he ruffled the fox's hair affectionately. "I'm sorry Tails, shouldn't have snapped at you like that. I'll cheer up when we reach the hotel for sure." Tail's nodded enthusiastically and resumed leading the way. Around half an hour later they arrived at the lobby of the hotel completely drenched from head to toe and tired beyond belief. The porter took their bags upstairs while Tails dealt with the check in. Amy had resorted to sitting next to Sonic on some waiting chairs in the lobby staring at him smiling which, as always, made Sonic feel incredibly uncomfortable. Sonic leapt up as Tails walked over. "So what's the news pal?" He asked.
"We're all sleeping in a single room with a single bed and a double bed." Tails replied.
Sonic tensed when he heard this and turned to see Amy's smile had broadened. "Not this over used scenario yet again." He said quietly before face palming.
"Huh?" The other two enquired but Sonic just sighed. "Never mind. We better get up to our room ." He lead the way to the elevator.
Amy continued to stare at him all the way up in the elevator making Sonic sweat profusely. He was so grateful when he got out that he breathed a sigh of relief. "Which room we in?" He asked Tails.
Tails checked the key ring then gestured to a door quite near the elevator. "Right there, room 708."
"Thanks buddy!" Said Sonic grabbing the keys then at the speed of sound opening the door and disappearing into the room. Amy and Tails entered to see a well lavished room with comfortable beds, a flat screen television. The room was gloomy though due to the weather outside which appeared to have gotten worse, the rain lashing against the window, the wind causing palm trees to bend to their limits. Sonic had taken up occupancy of the single bed and was already lying, hands under head. "Looks like you two are gonna have to share the double bed." He said gesturing towards the other, larger bed.
"Yeah looks like it." retorted Tails with a slight hint of annoyance.
"So… should we get some rest?" Said Sonic chuckling.
That night something fell from the sky. It made no noise on entry simply burned like the brightest of stars before landing deep within the islands forests. It made no noise on impact, for the raging storm covered that up. That very same storm however ceased moments later and there was silence… silence… and then a very strange thing happened. Something that had never been on the planet of Dovern before. It snowed.
Slightly longer chapter that time. Another mystery for you as well there.
