Chaos Controller15: Hey there, I'm back with the next chapter and am ready for action! Are you ready to see what happens next. I don't own these used characters for this chapter. Now let's go enjoy!
Knuckles kept his place, silent. He needed to say something. It was either continue to be all angry with the end result likely to be the boot from the plane and not being able to go with everyone. Or, he could just apologize and say Sonic's idea was right and he was incredibly wrong to start screaming. His overreaction was hurting him more then he could have imagined.
Shadow, on the other hand, felt no sympathy for his poor rival. He'd sooner make him cry then go on any vacation. "So, what's it gonna be, you two?" Silver asked, tired of the silence.
Sonic sat back, putting his head down again. He didn't find the long silence encouraging. He felt that they'd either right away realize he was really upset and apologize or wait a while, thinking of how to insult him even more. "Look Sonic, I made the wrong move, jumping to conclusions and starting to scream and blow a cork. I'm really sorry, will you forgive me? I'm ready to have some fun with everyone!" He tried to force a smile despite how embarrassed he was and his face hot with a sheepish blush.
"Of course I'll forgive you knucklehead! I didn't deserve an apology in the first place after waking you up at seven in the morning after all, but thanks anyways. All I wanted was for you to calm down." Sonic exploded, joking in delight, happy his friend wouldn't have to take a hike and miss the long-awaited vacation, the leading reason Knuckles' was driven to apologize.
The red echidna couldn't help but chuckle, he was too happy to be ashamed or embarrassed. Shadow kept still and said nothing. "So, Shadow, what's your choice?" Silver asked in a rather taunting voice.
"Silver stop! Can't you see that he's not mad anymore? He's calmed down as well, so I guess now we can get ready for takeoff!"
"You mean the takeoff eleven and a half hours from now?" Tails laughed a little.
"Yeah," Knuckles responded, "So what do we do now?"
They stood there looking at each other, waiting for an idea to be put into the air. Everyone was silent and remained that way for about five minutes. "Uh... How about we get some breakfast from one of the airport's restaurants?" Silver suggested.
Everyone agreed on the idea and so they got off the plane and went into the airport for a bite to eat. They took a look at the airport map to know where they were going. "I dunno, maybe go to Donut House and pick up a couple doughnuts?" Sonic put out.
"And a cup of Joe!" Knuckles exclaimed.
With agreement they made their way to the Donut House and stepped in. Getting in behind a couple other people, they started to wait their turn. After a little bit, they were up. "Hello, what would you like?"
Tails started, asking for a strawberry frosted one. Silver got a chocolate-coated one, Knuckles a maple. Sonic then took a plain Beignet Français, a French doughnut called a beignet and Shadow took the same, only one covered in chocolate. "I'll also take some coffee." Shadow said.
Knuckles took and so did Silver. "And I'll have a strawberry smoothie." Sonic ordered.
"We'll share that, all right?" Sonic looked down at Tails, who nodded.
They took their doughnuts and drinks and sat on a nearby table just outside the shop. Everyone started to munch on their chosen doughnuts seemed pretty happy. "OK, this is great, but what next?" Tails asked, taking a sip from the strawberry smoothie.
They all looked at each other, confusion written clearly on their faces. "Maybe we can find another plane getting ready to leave to the same place earlier." Shadow said.
"OK, so we'll hop onto all different planes and see where they're going?" Knuckles inquired.
"Yeah." Was Shadow's quick answer.
So, after drinking and eating their breakfast, they threw out the trash and started looking at the departures screen nearby to them. None of the departures were to the right place, so they decided to run out to the runway and hop on planes and figure out where each plane was going. "To the runways!" Knuckles said like the leader of an army into battle with a fist in the air aiming to where they were going to charge like madmen.
"Knuckles, that's the bathrooms." Silver pointed out, noticing where the fist was angled.
"Oh, sorry. This way!" He turned around.
Silver nodded and the group started to run in the direction of the runways. They hopped on the first plane they saw and were surprised at the space in it. "Wouldn't it be nice if this big boy is ours?" Sonic nudged Silver slightly.
The albino hedgehog nodded slowly. There were quite a few people on it and yet it still looked spacious. With how many people were on it, it seemed to be a fair bet that it'd take off soon. Tails went over to one of the passengers and asked where it was headed for. "I forget, where are we going bro?" The guy Tails asked looked at the man sitting next to him.
"Paradise!"
"Yeah, well where exactly?"
"Shot City! We're going barhopping!" He looked over and noticed the strange look on the young fox's face, "Oh, no, I'm just talking little guy. I mean we'll relax and have a good time."
"Right." Tails wondered on back to Sonic and his friends and told them, "Not the right plane." So they all casually hopped off.
They walked for a minute or two before finding another one, but it was on the runway already, so they had to quickly hop in. It was too small and they knew it wasn't good when the captain said from the cockpit that it was leaving for Arctiactic, the coldest place on Mobius. They shivered at just the thought and then jumped off as they realized that the plane had started. Someone sitting inside the plane shook his head at the action, sighing and saying somewhat quietly, "What are those idiots doing?"
They started running for yet another plane. When they found one just sitting they hopped aboard it, but Sonic started screaming immediately when he picked Amy's face out, Shadow and Knuckles when they discovered Rouge's right to her and Silver when he noticed Blaze, all three sitting next to each other. And then Tails started in when he saw Cream and Cosmo. They kept screaming and even started running back and forth the alley in the middle of the plane. "Sonic, how romantic! You're cutting it close and coming with me to the place I've always wanted to take you!"
"Boys, boys, boys, is that any way to behave in front of a woman?" Rouge teased her two guys.
"Silver, I can't wait for the time we're going to spend together, we haven't had any real quality time for so long it's gotten me insane! Come sit by me and we can even start!"
Tails stood in front, not screaming or running, frozen in fear. He hadn't moved since they got in the plane. Hands linked, Cosmo and Cream walked, rather aggressively, slightly stomping their feet towards Tails. When they were close enough, about close enough to feel each others' breath, Cosmo and Cream exploded, shouting in perfect sync, "You forgot our picnic Tails!" Then continuing in exact harmony, "So after a while of waiting this morning, Amy, Blaze and Rouge walked by and saw us looking so sad and lonely and asked if we wanted to go with them on their girls' week out!" That set the yellow kitsune off and he started screaming, but still didn't move.
"Forget about the only girls rule, we've got our boyfriends!" Before they could continue, Sonic asked where they were departing to and then continued to scream and run.
"France!" Amy said calmly.
"Thank you!" Sonic said and jumped off of the plane with everyone else, taking Tails by the arm, getting all of the seat-belted girls to sigh.
"At least our original plan was to have a girls' only week! So let's go back to that!" They screamed yes together and pretended to clank glasses of wine together for some strange reason, all the while saying, "cheers!"
"I give up!" Silver panted after finally getting out, "Let's just wait till seven and then get on our plane!" They all agreed and walked back into the airport to rest and wait. Shadow wanted to keep going, but was starting to realize that it wasn't working out and he didn't want to spark Silver again.
Chaos Controller15: Well now, I'm starting to wonder if they'll ever take off, you know what I mean? Yeah, anyways, maybe we'll take off next chapter, maybe we won't. We'll have to see then.
