Dreamers Colliding

Chapter 2 – Finding Friends

Suzy began to pack all the things she needs to bring for her big trip and Rin's things too. Her mind was set on one thing and one thing only:

Sonic the Hedgehog…

And Chocolate.

Meanwhile…

Gen had to ask her parents' to get permission to go.

"No! You are not going and that's final! I don't care if that's really Sonic the Hedgehog you are not going!"

Her foster mother argued with her hands on her hips and her face with a slight bit of red.

"But Mom! This is the only chance I get and the last! If I don't go I'll die unmarried, untouched, unloved, and unhappy!"

Gen hated that she had to call her "mom" or "mother" since they weren't even her birth parents.

"Well, your mother and I love you and we want you to be safe-"

Her foster father started, but Gen stopped him and said,

"Your not my real dad! And you're not my real mom! Why should I listen to you two! I'm going."

Gen grabbed her stuff furiously and left the house slamming the door behind her.

"Gen, wait!"

But, she was gone.

"Who do they think they are? Bossing me around. I'm not even related to them!"

"Hey Gen!"

Gen screeched and jumped in surprise when Sonic appeared in front of her she fell down on the cold cement.

"Please don't do that, you scared the hell out of me!"

"Hehehe, Sorry, I do that to a lot of people sometimes."

Sonic scratched the back of his head grinning sheepishly.

"So where's Suzy?"

"Still packing. What did your parents say about you coming with us?"

Gen became nervous, she didn't know what to say, but she had to give him an answer.

"Um…they, uh, said I can come with you since, uh, your Sonic the Hedgehog fastest thing alive and all!"

Sonic was going to say something, but was interrupted by Suzy calling their names with Rin running in front of her.

"Hey guys sorry for making you wait! I had to double check on my thing before we leave."

Suzy was holding a white backpack on one shoulder full of clothes and a navy green messenger bag with a first aid-kit and chocolate.

"Where's Tails at?"

Suzy asked Sonic, while Rin wagged her tail happily next to Sonic.

"He's doing his tune ups on the Tornado."

"How long is that going to take?" Gen asked with a hint of anxiety. But neither Sonic, nor Suzy took notice of her hurried tone.

"Well, it really depends on the condition of Tail's ride, but we could go and ask him." Smiling, Sonic looked at the two 14-year-old girls, whose eyes popped out of their sockets.

"Are you JK-ing me! We are really going to ride in The Tornado!" Suzy screamed at the top of her lungs and with an after thought Suzy and Rin raised her hand/paw and declared, "Shotgun!"

With that said Suzy and Rin ran crazy like a monkey on drugs toward a random direction with Rin running wildly behind. "Hey wait for me!" And like a faithful friend she was, Gen dashed madly after her. Blinking confusedly, Sonic looked around to find himself alone on the street. Shaking his head to revive himself from his stupor, Sonic realized something that made him sweat drop.

"They went the wrong way…"

Sighing Sonic ran toward the direction that they went to help them go the right way; he felt that this would be a long day.

"Stupid hedgehog, just getting in my way ALL THE TIME!"

Dr. Eggman screamed in anger slamming his fist on his desk. Another failure by the hedgehog is his usual routine, but this time this was different. He had also lost to two brats. This had hurt his pride. A lot.

"Curse that hedgehog and those ignorant brats!"

Eggman then began to wonder how those two were able to use Chaos Control? Humans weren't able to Chaos Control, but how were they able to? He even tried, but failed, of course.

He decided to take a sample of their DNA next time and run some test to figure out how they could Chaos Control.

"Hey Tails!"

Sonic jogged to his buddy with Suzy, Gen, and Rin panting their way towards them. They were currently at Central park west of the huge lake.

"Sonic –pant- how are –pant- able to –pant- run so –pant- fast?"

Gen asked panting exactly like Rin.

"This is –pant- worse than that time –pant- when –pant- I tried chasing a cat –pant-." Rin said lying down on the ground.

Sonic shrugged and said,

"I don't know. I guess it's a family trait."

"Is the Tornado ready yet Tails?"

Suzy asked anxiously ready for what will happen next.

"Almost, all I need is to give it a test drive then we can go find the next Chaos Emerald."

"CAN WE COME WITH YOU!"

They two girls and dog asked excitedly surrounding him. Tails, once again, was surrounded by puppy eyes he gave them an unsure before saying.

"I don't know…"

"PLEASE, I won't bother you while your driving!" Suzy said with her puppy eyes.

"I'll help out with the Tornado and everything!" Gen said

"I'll give you my favorite bone." Rin begged.

Tails couldn't help but give into the begs, whimpering, and yelled,

"Alright-just get OFF OF ME!"

They then all immediately got off of Tails, surprised to see him like this, even Sonic was a little bit shocked, and then, Gen said,

"We're sorry Tails we're just really excited to meet you and Sonic, plus the Tornado."

Then Suzy said,

"I'm sorry too, I sometimes get too excited when I drink too much coffee."

Tails sighed heavily with the spark of guilt in him as he responded.

"I should be the one saying sorry. It's just, it's just that I'm stress ever since Shadow found a way to break into my lab and stole a Chaos Emerald not too long ago."

Suzy reached Rin to pet her head when she realized that she was missing.

"Where's Rin?"

Everyone looked around but there was no sight of her. Suzy then ran off calling Rin's name.

"RIN!"

"Suzy wait!"

Meanwhile…

Rin sniffed comprehensively around Central Park for the Chaos Emerald.

'It's close now…'

She thought to herself walking through all the bushes.

'When I find the Chaos Emerald, Suzy is going to be so happy! She'll definitely give me a reward for it!'

She then spots a hedgehog, almost looks like Sonic, except black and red and scarier looking.

'Creepy guy…I like him!'

Rin began to follow him two and a half feet away.

The black and red Hedgehog didn't notice Rin for the first few seconds, but turned around to see Rin sitting down quietly and happily wagging her tail. The hedgehog ignored her completely and kept on walking. Rin kept on following him. Soon after to seeing Rin again but even closer to him, the annoyed hedgehog walked faster. Rin followed suit. When he finally had enough of this nonsense, the hedgehog did a fast 360 just to glaring at Rin who still wagged her tail happily.

"Go away you stupid dog!" barked the short-tempered hedgehog. Rin's tail then went between her legs as and her head stooped low. The mysterious hedgehog then continued walking, when Rin caught a whiff of a Chaos Emerald on him.

'Where is it though? He's not holding it, then that means…'

She looked at his quills to see a green glow, Rin surprisingly jumped high enough to land on his head and grab his emerald in her mouth.

"Why you-!"

The black and red spiny animal yelled when a breathless Suzy emerged from the thick brushes.

"There-pant- you are-pant- Rin-pant-! Oh geeze my ribs are killing me."

After a few deep breathes Suzy finally said, "Rin I'm so glad that I found you! Uh, hey Shadow."

Happy and proud of herself, Rin bounced to the ground (from Shadow's head) and tried to reach her owner when the pissed off Shadow snatch her by the back of her neck. Arms length away, Shadow had Rin subbed in the air facing him.

"Give. Me. Back. My. Emerald." Rin shivered like a leaf in the wind from Shadow's ice-cold threat. In his bloody red eyes, Rin knew that he was not fooling around.

"Hey you don't treat a dog like that!"

Sonic heroically appeared carrying Rin, while Tails and Gen arrived at the sidelines with Suzy. Rin looked around with the Chaos Emerald in her mouth wondering what just happened.

"Hey Shadow! Long time no see!"

Sonic smirk as Shadow frowned even more and before anyone could bat an eye Rin was safe in Gen's arms. Gen walked next to Suzy and Tails dropped of Rin in Suzy's arms and continued to listen to the conversation before them.

"I have no time for you, Faker. I'm only here for my Chaos Emerald that's in your stupid mutt's mouth."

Shadow gave Rin a death glare as everyone looked at Rin's mouth.

"Rin!"

Suzy yelled angrily; Rin's tail, once again, fell between her legs. But Suzy smiled and said,

"Good girl!"

Suzy gave her a piece of beef jerky from her bag and took the slimy Chaos Emerald from her mouth.

"Eww!"

Suzy then gave the green emerald to Gen. Gen took out a tissue and cleaned the saliva off of it. Shadow was going to snatch the Emerald from Gen when Sonic stepped in front of him.

"You'll have to get through me first."

Sonic stepped in as he took a fighting stance. Shadow replied coolly,

"So be it."

Faster then even a millisecond, both hedgehogs were at each other's throats. Sonic punched Shadow, then Shadow would house kick Sonic, then Sonic does his homing attack while Shadow dodges it… Blah Blah Blahhhh!

On the sidelines…

While Tails shouted cheers of encouragement to his big brother, both teenagers and dog tried to make sense of the fight.

"Hold that's Shadow- oh what now he's over there kicking Sonic-um now Sonic is… What he disappeared what there he is!"

"Suzy shut your pie whole! You're giving me a headache!" cried poor Rin, Rin (nickname) who held her dizzy head between her hands, oops I mean paws.

"Ya know Gen, I thought seeing both Sonic and Shadow fight in person would be as exciting as making chocolate cake but its just so-"

"Blurry." Rin finished Suzy's obvious observation.

"You're right for once Suzy." Gen said thoughtfully.

With a tick mark on her head, Suzy turned to Gen and said, "What do ya mean once! I'm right most of the time like with the chocolate taco with jalapeños-

(A/N: The thing with the taco incident did happen but it was a deleted scene… Too much barf )

"That made me green for the whole day yesterday"

"Well, um… What about that time at Disneyland-"

"I just met you yesterday and I've never been to Disneyland."

Gapping and bulging her eyes out, Suzy could not believe her ears. "Did you say what I thought you said."

"Um, ya, I said I have never-"

"Shut up. You've NEVER been to Disneyland?"

Suzy said with a shocked look on her face Gen replied,

"Uh, no, I've always wanted to go there, but my parents are too cheap and said that I might get kidnapped which really is a stupid reason."

Suzy started to tear up, tears almost falling down her face.

"That's the saddest story that I've ever heard."

"Really, then you must never heard any sad stories from what I think."

Gen raised a brow at her at Suzy looking at her, sometimes idiotic, friend.

"By the way, where did you put the Chaos Emerald at?"

Suzy whispered cautiously in Gen's ear. She whispered back,

"Uh… in my bag, right here."

Gen was going to take it out but Suzy stopped her.

"Don't take it out unless you want Shadow taking it away."

"Good point."

They sat down on the grass to watch more of the blurry action. But after a few moments of sitting there Suzy got really bored.

"This is boring, lets get out of here."

They both nodded at each other in agreement, including Rin, and left the blurry hedgehogs to their little brawl. Tails, still cheering for Sonic, turned to Suzy and Gen11/6/11 since it's been quiet without them talking the whole time. His eyes widened when he saw them gone.

"Sonic! We have a problem!" Sonic turned to Tails but was punched in the face by Shadow. He fell down on the ground

"Don't turn your back against your enemy, Faker." Shadow said, his arms crossed looking down at the blue hedgehog.

"Suzy and Gen are gone!" Sonic was all ears and so was Shadow.

"Tails, did you know where they went?" the yellow fox was interrupted by a note floating down in front of him and laid down in the sunlight. He picked it up and began to read it.

"Got bored, see you at the Tornado.

Suzy, Gen and Rin"

There was a long awkward silence, until Tail broke the ice.

"Do they even know where the Tornado is?" Another pause.

"C'mon Tails, were going to find them." Sonic was ready to speed off when Shadow said,

"I'll come too." Sonic and Tails looked at each other.

"Uh, okay Shadow."

"But I'm only going to help because they still have my Chaos Emerald." Shadow glared at Sonic while Sonic gave him a smirk.

This was going to be a long day…
