"Allons-y!" Sonic sang out as he burst out the door of Tails's beach house with his foot.
"Yeah woohoo!" Both Honey and Marine yelled as they ran out Tails's beach house behind Sonic, setting their foot on the sandy beach.
The gang wanted to set everything up and hang out together before spreading out own their. The rest of the gang soon came out, wearing their beach clothes. The girls were wearing their cute swim suits and the guys were wearing swim trunks of different colors. Honey and Marine wasted no time as they stood over the wet sand, as small waves of the ocean hit their naked feet and smelled the fresh salty air.
Both Knuckles and Mighty were holding two giant white poles as they were coming out of Tails's beach house. The two strong men found a good wide spot on the beach as they separated from each other. Knuckles planted a white pole on the sandy ground, where Mighty placed his white pole in the opposite side from Knuckles.
The two friends nodded and smiled at each other and watch Sonic then appear and tied the two poles with a net in a blink of eye, creating a volleyball field for everybody to play on the beach. Sonic took out a volleyball, threw it up in the air, jumped in the air, and gave a smack to the ball to test the field.
Sonic smiled and nodded, liking how the volleyball field he, Knuckles, and Mighty made together. The Blue Blur the looked back Tails's beach house to see the rest of his friends coming out of it. Tiara and Blaze were coming out the house with food, snacks, and drinks, placing them on a picnic table near Tails's beach house.
Tails and Ray were getting the beach towels, umbrellas, and a grill out of the house. Tails and Ray laid the beach towels and umbrellas in a stack for everybody to grab one. Tails then placed the grill near the picnic table and Ray began to light it up as Tiara and Blaze were setting up the plates and cups.
As soon as everybody was done setting up their things. Sonic, Mighty, and Knuckles were testing out more the field as they had a small practice session of playing volleyball. It was a two on one handicap match as it was Knuckles and Mighty against Sonic himself. Though it was a handicap match, it wasn't a problem since he was able to hit back the ball to Mighty and Knuckles thanks to his super speed.
It was going well until the gang stopped playing when the cat trio, Honey, Tiara, and Blaze coming towards the guys with cool sunshades on them and were trying to look styling and profiling as Tails likes to say when he dresses up with style. Honey looked at her brother and his two friends playing as she took a sip of her coconut drink and lowered her sunglasses with a cocky grin.
"Well look what we have here girls. A couple of low level guys playing volleyball." Honey said, in a teasing tone.
The three cats laughed and high five each other at Honey's comment.
"Oh hey Honey, we're just having a few rounds of volleyball." Sonic said, as he, Knuckles, and Mighty stopped playing.
"Mind if the three of us play against you boys?" Honey asked.
"I don't know Honey. We're pretty good at this game. We could easily beat you girls." Knuckles taunted at the feline group.
"Oh you got to be kitten us." Honey said, as she, Blaze, and Tiara laughed at the pun and high five each once more.
"We're the ones that's gonna beat you guys." Honey said with a smirk before taking another sip of her coconut drink.
"Honey, why are you acting like a jerk out of sudden?" Sonic asked, as he looked at his sister with worry eyes.
"Because somebody has to." Honey answered
"Mmm...okay then. I still don't get it, but let's play." Sonic scratched his sister's comment as he and the guys went to their position on the field as well as the feline girls.
Knuckles had his eyes on Blaze, Mighty glue his eyes on Honey, and Sonic gaze at Tiara. Ready to take on each other on this three on three match of volleyball.
"Alright then, ladies first." Sonic said, ready to throw the ball to Honey.
"That's right Sonic. Ladies first." The yellow cat mocked as she pointed at her brother.
"Ohhhhhhh!" Blaze and Tiara cheered as they high five each other. Sonic, Mighty, and Knuckles frowned as they watch the cat trio make fun of them.
"Let's just start the game already." Sonic said, annoyed and threw the ball in the air to start the game.
Moments later
"Oh yeah! We won!" Honey shouted as she, Tiara and Blaze gather together for a group hug.
"Aw man, we lost. " Mighty said, sadly.
"We would have won if somebody wasn't being distracted by his girlfriend's seductive eyes." Knuckles said, shooting a mean glare.
"I can't help it. My knees turn into jelly whenever Tiara looks at me with those beautiful crystal eyes of her's." Sonic confessed. Knuckles and Mighty rolled their eyes at the hedgehog.
Sonic looked at his armadillo friend, "Mighty, would you feel weak in the knees if some pretty girl was giving you a flirtatious look that distracts you?" Sonic told Mighty.
At Sonic's question, Mighty quickly looked at the other side of the volleyball fields to see Honey celebrating her victory with Tiara and Blaze. Honey then looked back Mighty and gave him a flirtatious look and wink causing him to blush lightly and feeling weak in the knees. Mighty turn his away his face from Sonic to hide his small blush.
"Yeah totally." Mighty coughed out.
Before Sonic could talk to Mighty some more on their conversation. The cat trio approach the gang of boys with huge smirks on their feline faces. Honey stepped forward from her group and took a whiff of the air with a mocking gesture.
"You smell that girls, that's the smell of victory in the air." Honey said, mocking the boys.
"We totally wipe the floor with you boys." Tiara also mocked.
"You boys never had a chance." Blaze added in.
The three boy looked away and stare grumply at the ground.
"Aw cheer up. We're at the beach so be happy." Tiara said, as she went behind Sonic and wrapped on her arms around his neck in a playful manner. Sonic, still having his mean glare, looked into the manx cat's eyes.
"Be lucky that I love looking at your eyes for me to be so upset." Sonic said, grumpily.
"I know, you love them." Tiara said as she hugged the blue hedgehog tightly and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek. Sonic rolled his eyes as Tiara let go of his back and grabbed his hands,
"Come on Sonic, let have some fun playing in the water. No time to stick around to be all upset." Tiara said, smirking as she grabbed tightly on Sonic's hand.
"Tiara wait! Hold on a-" Sonic was going to reject Tiara's idea, but was cut off as she pulled and ran with him against his own will to the ocean water.
Knuckles, Blaze, Honey, and Mighty chuckle at the Sonic and Tiara as they watch the manx cat drag away her hedgehog boyfriend to the water. When everybody stopped laughing at the couple, Knuckles then grabbed a towel and began to make his way to find a good spot on the beach to sleep.
"Where are you going Knuckles?" Mighty asked, wondering where his echidna buddy was going.
"To relax on the beach. That volleyball match made my body a bit tired and I like to get rid of that tension." Knuckles said, stretching his body.
"Alright then, see ya man." Mighty fist bump goodbye to his echidna friend. Mighty and Honey then looked over Blaze who was walking away from the two.
"Blaze, where are you going?" Honey asked.
"I'm a bit hungry after playing, I'm heading to Tails to see what he has cooked up to eat in that grill he's using. Gotta fill up my hunger before we go on that hiking trip with Sonic and Tiara around the island." Blaze said, as she walked away.
"Oh yeah that. I can't wait." Mighty said, remembering the trip around the island.
Honey and Mighty waved goodbye to their lavender cat friend as she walked away. When the armadillo and cat were done waving goodbye. The two looked at each other and blushed slightly, realizing that the two were left alone and nothing but silence that was filling the space between them. Both rubbed their shoulders nervously, looking away shyly.
"You look great in that swimsuit, Honey." Mighty confessed, looking slightly at Honey's swimwear with a blush on his face.
Honey blushed heavily from Mighty's comment, "Thanks, it's good to know that you like it." The yellow cat said, rubbing her arm shyly with her hand.
"So ummmm….that was a great game of volleyball we played just now." Mighty said, finally speaking up.
"Yeah, even though me and the girls won. You were pretty good at hitting back the volleyball back to us." Honey said, blushing in embarrassment.
"You know, you didn't have to brag about your victory over us that much." Mighty said, a little annoyed.
Honey giggled, seeing how cute her crush's face looks when he's annoyed, "I can't help it. I'm just very competitive when it comes to playing games. I don't like to lose. I like to go for the prize." Honey said, proudly.
"But we didn't set up a prize for the volleyball match." Mighty said, giving Honey a confuse look.
A saucy smile appeared on Honey's face as she walked towards her brother's childhood friend. Honey looked over the area to make sure nobody was watching and once the coast was clear.
Honey quickly leaned forward to Mighty and gave him a quick teasing surprise kiss on the cheek. Mighty jolted his body as his face turned madly red and rubbed his cheek where Honey kissed him. Honey giggled even more, seeing how red Mighty's face was.
"Now that. That was my prize." Honey said, as she gave a light punch to Mighty's arm and a cute wink.
"Darn it Honey." Mighty quietly hissed out the yellow cat's name.
"Warn me next time if you plan to do something like that? Sonic could have seen us." Mighty scolded the pig tail wearing cat, as he tried to hide his blushing face. Honey smiled and roll her on her crush.
"Oh don't worry about it. Now come on, let's play in the water with Sonic and Tiara. They're not the only ones that can have all the fun." Honey said, as she and Mighty walked together to where Sonic and Tiara were at.
"Afterwards, I'm planning to lay on a towel on the beach, under the sun and…." Honey stopped talking as she lean close to Mighty's ear with a saucy smirk and whisper in his ear.
"I just so happen to be looking for someone with strong hands to put sunscreen on my whole body and I'm looking at the armadillo who can help me with that." Honey seductively whisper to Mighty's ear with a small giggle at the end.
At this, Mighty started burning up like never before and felt like hot steam was ready to blow out from his nose and ears. Mighty's heart was pumping and his legs felt like they been turn to jelly as the thought of "Helping Honey" almost made him faint from too much excitement.
Honey laughed even harder, for she loved to tease her crush in any way she can. Mighty remain speechless with his face still streaming red on him before coming back to reality as he and Honey started walking together.
The yellow cat glance at her crush, "You said to warn you if I plan to kiss you on the cheek." Honey looked at the armadillo.
"Yeah so?" Mighty raised eyebrow at the cat.
"Does that mean you look forward to my kisses!" Honey asked, as she wagged her cat tail in a happy manner.
Mighty blushed at Honey's question, stood quiet, and turned his head away from the cat. Honey's eyes widen in glee and gasp.
"Ah! You do like it!" Said Honey, seeing the huge blush on Mighty's face and got giddy.
Mighty sigh as he thought to himself, "Why must we be a couple of teenagers in love." he said in his head as he continued to walk with Honey beside him.
With Knuckles
Sonic's friendly rival, Knuckles the Echidna, was laying on the beach floor with a towel underneath him. The red echidna was enjoying the heat of sun hit his fur and as he laid on the floor, looking at the beautiful blue sky above him.
Knuckles was enjoying his time by listening to some nice reggae music playing on a radio next to him as he would took sip of his coconut drink. The echidna felt his body lose the all of the tension after spending his time playing volleyball and the long wait on the Tornado getting to Tails Island.
Knuckles open one of his eyes to see his friends: Sonic, Tiara, Mighty, Honey, and Marine playing on the water, splashing water to each other. Of course, Sonic was not in the deep part of the ocean, but instead the shallow end where he could feel his feet touch the ground. Knuckles mocked his hedgehog friend's unable ability to swim in the deep water by giving a short laugh.
The echidna then saw that Sonic's girlfriend, Tiara Boobowski, snuck up behind him under the water, grabbed his waist and did a german suplex move that you would see in wrestling.
"Come on Sonic! Let's water wrestle!" Tiara said, letting out her spunky attitude to her boyfriend as he tried get back up to his feet.
"Tiara babe! Wait a sec! I-" Sonic was cut off as his girlfriend then quickly speared attack him down to the water, bring down along with her as the two went underwater.
Sonic would desperately try to escape his girlfriend's wrath by trying to get back up to his feet and run, but Tiara would pull Sonic back with her as she would grabbed Sonic's head back into the water like Jason Voorhees in the ending of the first "Friday the 13th" film.
Honey, Mighty, and Marine all laughed as they watch the couple splash around in the water. Honey then got the idea to do the same thing with Mighty as she slowly made her way towards him with a smug face.
"Don't even think about it Honey." Mighty said, quickly catching the yellow feline in the act.
Honey frowned, "Aww man." She pouted sadly for she really wanted to water wrestle with Mighty.
"Show him what you got, Tiara! Beat Sonic! Make him drink the sea water!" Marine cheered for the manx cat.
Sonic popped his head from the water, "Who side are you on?!" Sonic yelled, before being pull back into the water by his girlfriend.
"Tsk tsk. Poor Sonic." Knuckles said, as he laid back his head flat on the ground and stare back into the blue sky with relaxed eyes.
"Ah, nothing like a good relaxing nap on the beach." Knuckles said to himself.
"I really needed this after guarding the Master Emerald from Rouge for the past week. When will Rouge learn to quit. I really deserve this vacation." Knuckles said, closing his eyes.
As the red echidna rested his eyes and began to catch z's, he felt sun's light being blocked from hitting his body. Knuckles was annoyed by who or what was blocking the sunlight from him. Knuckles growl as he slowly open his eyes, only to find his friend, Ray the Flying Squirrel, who was blocking the sun from Knuckles as he looked down at him with derpy eyes and a derpy smile.
"Ey b0ss!" Ray said in a funny accent as he greeted the echidna.
"Ahhh!" Knuckles screamed as Ray scared him the moment he saw him.
Ray laughed as he saw Knuckles jolt his body up in fear. "Ray, don't ever scare me like that again!" Knuckles yelled at his friend.
Ray wipe a tear of joy from his eyes, "Sorry Knuckles, but I couldn't miss the opportunity to scare you." Ray said, calming down as he stop laughing.
"Just be lucky that I didn't punch you in the face when you did." Knuckles grunted as he laid his eyes on a weird device that Ray was holding in his arms.
"What's that you got there?" Knuckles said.
"This is my metal detector!" Ray said, proudly.
"Metal detector? Why are you using a metal detector?" Knuckles asked.
"I'm trying to find some treasure on this island." Ray responded.
"Treasure? What makes you think that there is treasure on this island?" Knuckles looked at the flying squirrel with a odd look.
"Tails said before that he found this island with no living person on it. He said that nobody has never been to this island." Ray said.
"Yeah so?" Knuckles said.
"So it got me thinking. What if Tails is wrong about other people ever setting foot on this island before him. There were probably people that set foot on this island long before any of us were born. By people, I mean pirates." Ray explained.
"Pirates? You think pirates might have bury some treasure on this island." Knuckles tilted his head.
"Yeah dude, think about it. Pirates travel the sea a lot, traveling island to island to hide their treasure from other pirates. It's possible that a group of pirates might have hid their treasure here, since this island is hard to find in any map." Ray said.
"That's why I'm using this metal detector to find some clues to where the treasure might be." Ray said.
"Ray, that's dumb. I explore the island a lot when I was a kid and I never once saw any sign that pirates were here before." Knuckles said, thinking Ray's idea was childish as he went back to relaxing on his beach towel.
"Why don't you go in the water and play with the others." Knuckles suggested.
"No, I don't want to get in the water right now." Ray said, in a frightened tone.
Knuckles looked at him with a odd look, "Why not?" He said.
"For the past week, I've been watching "Shark Week" on tv and it made me scare to get in the water." Ray said, still shaking his body in fear. "And I was hoping that maybe you can help me find the treasure."
"Why me? Can't you ask somebody else like Mighty to help you?" Knuckles objected.
"Well Mighty is well...um…" Ray stopped talking and took a look where his brother, Mighty, was at the water with the others.
Ray saw Mighty playing with his crush, Honey, as the cat and armadillo were splashing water to each other and laughing. The two were having the time of their lives. Ray smiled at his brother Mighty, who was bonding more with Honey, making her happy and what not. Ray glance back at Knuckles who was tapping his foot in patient.
"Mighty is being occupied at the moment and I don't to interrupted him when he's building something special for him." Ray said. In the gold squirrel's head, he was hoping that Mighty and Honey finally hook up together, seeing how happy they are with each other.
It was something that he and the rest of Team Chaotix were hoping to happen between them. Not to mention, Ray also place a wager behind Mighty's back that he will one day hook up with Honey soon. Knuckles scratched his head, confused by what Ray said about Mighty building something special.
"Umm..okay then." Knuckles said, confused.
"Besides your like the treasure hunting expert when it comes to this. You're the go-to-guy for this sorta thing." Ray said, as he started scanning the sand around Knuckles .
Ray then held the metal detector above Knuckles and started beeping violently. Hearing this made the gold squirrel smiled brightly as Knuckles himself was bit shocked that he was sitting on something that the metal detector picked up.
"Looks like I picked something up and you're laying on it Knuckles. Can you move aside." Ray asked politely.
Knuckles rolled his eyes as he moved himself and his beach towel to let Ray dig the spot he was relaxing. The echidna watch Ray dig the spot as he took a sip of his coconut drink.
"Ah-ha!" Ray shouted.
"What did you find, some old leftover metal pieces from Tails's failed inventions." Knuckles mocked his friend.
"No. I found something better." Ray said as he climb up from the hole he digged. Knuckles headed beside the squirrel as he was dusting off the sand from his gold fur.
"What did you find?" Knuckles grew curious.
"I found a glass bottle with a piece of paper of some sort in it." Ray said, showing Knuckles the glass bottle.
The gold squirrel then proceeded to open the bottle and pop the cork on the top. The go-happy squirrel then shook the bottle and the piece of paper fell on to his hand.
Ray slowly open the rolled up paper, which reveal to be a map of Tails Island with markings and x's on it. Seeing, Knuckles was shocked that a map of Tails Island was present in front of them. Ray grew excited as he scan the map, figuring it what it was.
"Knuckles! This is a treasure map!" Ray said, smiling in joy.
"Treasure map?" Knuckles said.
"Yeah, these marks and symbols signs and directions are ways to a treasure hidden by some pirates!" Ray yelled.
"You gotta be kidding me." Knuckles dumbfounded.
"I knew it! I was right! I was right all along!" Ray jumping in joy.
Ray took another look at the map and his eyes widen even more when he saw a pirate symbol on on the top left of it.
"This isn't just some ordinary pirate's map." Ray said, looking at the symbol.
"It's not?" Knuckles said, looking at a symbol with a skull with two bones formed into an X underneath it.
"This map belong to the one of the greatest pirate of all time. Maybe the best of all time." Ray said, holding in his excitement.
"And that is?" Knuckles said.
"Henry Every!" Ray answered excitedly. Knuckles scratched his head at Ray's answer.
"Who's Henry Every?" Knuckles asked.
"Henry Every was an English pirate who operated in the Atlantic and Indian oceans in the mid 1690's! That's his symbol right there." Ray said, as he took another glance at the map as he told Knuckles more about Henry Every.
"Henry Every was called "The Arch Pirate" and "The King of the Pirates" by other pirates. Every was the most notorious pirate of his time; he earned his infamy by becoming one of the few major pirate captains to retire with his loot without being arrested or killed in battle, and also for being the perpetrator of what has been called the most profitable pirate raid in history." Ray explained.
Knuckles was outstanded by Ray's knowledge, for he never knew had this much of it. "Wow Ray. You really must know this stuff." Knuckles said.
"Thanks. I spent time reading a lot of history books as a kid." Ray said, smiled. "I just can't believe that I actually I found his map."
"So Knuckles would you join me now that I have this map." Ray wagged his tail, happily.
"I don't know?" Knuckles unsure, giving his thoughts.
"Come on Knuckles, you know this island like the back of your head. Think of the treasure we could share together. 50-50!" Ray said, trying to convince the echidna to help.
"What would I do with the treasure. I have plenty of treasure from my past adventures." Knuckles said.
"Think of it like this Knuckles. If we find the treasure. You can rub it in Sonic's face." Ray said, with a sly smile.
Knuckles then imagine himself sitting on a tower of treasure with Sonic being jealous and was crying that he found great discovery instead of him. The red echidna smiled and laughed at his imagination of Sonic crying. Knuckles look at his squirrel friend with a evil grin.
"Deal, but only I get to see Sonic cry." Knuckles said, extending his hand.
"Deal!" Ray shook Knuckles's hand. The two partners nodded their heads as they both looked at the treasure map leading to Henry Every's treasure.
"Okay Knuckles, do you know what part of the island this is?" Ray pointed at the map. Knuckles nodded and he pointed the way.
"It's just north from here. Come on, I know a shortcut through the jungle." Knuckles said, as he and Ray began walking.
"Sweet! Henry's treasure here we come!" Ray yelled excitedly, leaving their friends to go on some grand adventure.
With Tails and Marine
At the docking bay near the ocean was the eight year old fox, Tails, and his pal, seven year old raccoon, Marine, packing up equipment and supplies as they were starting to their own little adventure together. Beside them was Tails' yellow submarine that he had build when he and Sonic were kids.
The purpose of the submarine was to help Tails find the giant squid that once saved his life from drowning long ago. Since then, Tails wanted to speak, meet the giant squid, and thank it in person. Marine was fascinated by the story and wanted to join Tails on his quest to find the giant squid and because she wanted to learn more of Tails' past inventions.
Marine was just done playing in the water with Sonic and the others before going with Tails. The female raccoon went to her friend Tails when she saw him driving the submarine (In vehicle mode.) to the water. Tails telling the female raccoon to check off the items from their check list.
"Okay Marine. Let's look over our check list once again to see we have everything we need for our underwater trip." Tails said.
"Right, ready when you are." Marine said, getting her clipboard ready.
"Air tank full!"
"Check!"
"Extra food and drinks!"
"Check!"
"Extra parts!"
"Check!"
"Cool underwater music!"
"Check!"
"A DVD copy of The Little Mermaid!"
"Check!"
"Alright then, looks like we're all set." Tails said, proudly.
"Yeah mate! Wooo!" Marine excitedly as she and Tails enter the yellow submarine.
When Marine enter the submarine for the first time, she was amazed to see the flashing buttons and design of the inside of the submarine. It was much more different than the Deep Typhoon that Tails build in her dimension with a few minor silmarlites.
"Wow, it's almost the same as the Deep Typhoon, but different as well." Marine said, admiring Tails's submarine.
"Thanks, like I said. I used the same ideas and structures from my yellow submarine when building the Deep Typhoon." Tails said.
Tails then went to the pilot seat, started flipping switches, and turned the lights on.
"Sit down Marine and strap on your seat belt cause we're going for one heck of a ride!" Tails said, starting the engine of his submarine.
"Let's roll mate!" Marine said. Tails nodded and proceeded to move the yellow submarine as it sunk down into the ocean.
"Marine how's the systems going so far?" Tails asked. Marine looked at a monitor showing the current state of the yellow submarine, making sure everything is normal.
"Everything is working as they should be." Marine confirmed.
"Phew! I thought for second something might be wrong with the submarine." Tails said, wiping nervous sweat drop from his forehead.
"How come?" Marine wonder.
"It's been a long time since I last used this submarine. I was afraid that there might be something wrong it. Looks like I was wrong and made this submarine to last long." Tails said, proudly as he patted the controls.
"Nice, where are we going first?" Marine asked.
Tails then reveal out a virtual map of the sea on the front mirror of the submarine.
"Right now, we're right here on the map and the area where we're heading is three miles away. It's the perfect spot where we'll find the giant squid since the area is the place filled with sea creatures of all like." Tails said, pointing at the map.
"It's gonna be a while until we reach the spot in the ocean, so sit back and make sure if any comes up in the monitor." Tails said.
"By the way Tails, what kind of things can this yellow submarine do?" Marine asked.
"It's has a defense valor form incase if we get attack and a turbo boost to make a quick getaway." Tails said.
"But most importantly!" Tails pressed a button. Marine looked to her left and found a perfectly functional microwave next to her.
"This submarine comes with a microwave to heat up some popcorn." Tails said, putting the submarine in auto pilot and put in a bag of popcorn and put The Little Mermaid movie as they headed to their destination.
With Sonic and Co.
Sonic, Mighty, Honey, and Tiara were done playing in the water as they were getting ready for their hiking trip around Tails Island. Blaze soon joined the gang once she was done eating and filled her stomach. The gang were stretching their arms and legs, preparing themselves their hiking trip.
Of the group of five, Mighty was the most excited about the hiking trip around Tails Island ever since he arrived here. Mighty really wanted to examine more of the nature and see the others types of animals that live on the island for Mighty really love places like Tails Island that's filled with nature that he has yet seen.
Sonic was the tour guide of the group, showing his friends the spots he, Tails, and Knuckles hung out when they kids. Sonic was excited as well, really wanting to see the fun spots he played at with Tails and Knuckles and wanted share some fun memories of his childhood to his girlfriend Tiara.
Honey was curious to see the spots where brother Sonic hung out as a kid, but most importantly she was hoping to spend some alone time with her crush Mighty by ditching the group when the tour is done and everybody going their separate ways.
Much like Mighty, Blaze and Tiara were also excited to see the nature of the island and talk to each other about princess problems that even Honey would understand since she's not a princess.
"You guys set." Sonic said, after stretching his legs.
"You bet! Let's go!" Tiara shouted as she and Sonic held hands with each other, ready to go together.
"My body is ready!" Honey shouted excitedly .
"I was ready before we started." Mighty gave a nod.
"I'm for one am ready." Blaze said, politely.
Sonic nodded at his friends and his girlfriend Tiara was they began to walk.
"I'll first show you guys the spot where me, Knuckles, and Tails use to play together. I tell ya it was a intense game we played back then." Sonic chuckled at the memory.
"How intense?" Tiara looked at her boyfriend.
"You'll see how intense." Sonic gave a wink to his girlfriend. Behind Sonic and Tiara was Blaze, Honey, and Mighty walking toward.
Honey and Mighty were walking between Blaze, for they couldn't get too close and interact with each other because Sonic might get suspicious about the two.
As the gang was walking through the jungle of the island, Mighty was being fascinated by seeing the flowers and the height of the grassy trees that stood beside him. Looking at nature was putting Mighty in a calm state, forgetting all his worries and troubles at the moment. The armadillo stopped looking at the beautiful nature when his eyes saw Honey looking at him across from Blaze.
Honey was smiling softly, seeing how happy Mighty was enjoying himself with the things he loves being around. The pigtail cat thought Mighty looked cute, scanning the nature as she blushed at him. When Mighty caught Honey looking at him, the armadillo blushed madly himself causing Honey to look away and giggle and made Blaze to wonder why Honey was giggling.
Sonic heard Honey giggle, he slightly turn his head to see Mighty's blushing face. Sonic's eye widen in surprise, knowing what was happening behind his back that Mighty was hiding from him because of the constant blushing he's been seeing all day from his armadillo friend. Sonic frowned heavily and stopped walking.
"Halt!" Sonic shouted out loud.
"What? What's the matter?" Tiara asked.
"Excuse me ladies, but I need to have a quick guy talk with Mighty." Sonic said, as he let go of Tiara's hand.
"What?" Mighty said in a nervous tone as Sonic was walking towards him with a mean glare.
"Come with me. Mighty. I need to have a word with you. Now!" Sonic said, coldly.
Mighty swallowed his saliva and looked at Honey, who was also nervous that her brother might have found him and Honey were flirting with each other.
Mighty nervously walked with Sonic and found a good spot where the girls won't hear a single word they say. When they reach the spot, Mighty stood nervously as Sonic had his arms folded as he still looked at his armadillo friend with a frightening look and stood quietly. There was a long period of silence until Sonic finally spoke up
"Mighty, I know." Sonic finally spoke in a deep serious voice.
"Know what?" Mighty said, frighten.
Sonic took a step forward, "All that blushing that I was seeing today. It wasn't the hot weather causing it." he said, stepping even closer to Mighty.
"Those blushes was for a different reason which I just found out." Sonic said.
Mighty was too scared to move his legs as he watch Sonic walk close to him with a frown.
"The real reason behind your blushes is because….." Sonic said, shaking his fist.
Mighty closed his eyes ready for the worst.
"You…"
Mighty started to sweat nervously.
"Have…."
The armadillo clench his fist tightly.
"A…."
Mighty looked away from Sonic.
"Crush….."
At this, Mighty closed his eyes even more tighter, knowing what Sonic was gonna say next.
"On Blaze!" Sonic shouted happily.
Mighty got down to the floor on his knees and pleaded to the Blue Blur for mercy.
"I'm sorry Sonic! I can't help it! I just really like her okay! It's just a stupid crush and I-wait? What did you just say?" Mighty stopped, realizing what Sonic just said and looked up at him.
The blue hedgehog laughed as he helped Mighty back up to his feet, "You have a crush on Blaze, don't you?" Sonic said once more to his friend.
Mighty was stun by Sonic's answer and stood silently once again that last for a good minute.
Very slowly a fake smile appeared on Mighty's face as he answered back.
"Yeah totally, you caught me Sonic. I have a crush on Blaze." Mighty said, fakely as he felt more at ease with his lie. "Ha! I knew it! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it." Sonic clapped his hands.
"How did you know that I have a crush on Blaze." Mighty said, wondering why in the earth would Sonic think that he has a crush on Blaze instead of Honey.
"It's obvious dude, you keep blushing when she's around you." Sonic stated. Sonic then put arm on Mighty's shoulder.
"Now I'm not one to get involve in someone's love life, but you should go for it and tell Blaze how you feel before our vacation trip ends and when she goes back home to her dimension." Sonic said, advising his friend.
"Y-Yeah...I should." the nature loving armadillo said, in a uncomfortable tone.
"Word of advice, Blaze like guys who show her respect and treats her equally. Make you sure you do that for her, okay pal." Sonic gave a light punch to Mighty.
"Thanks for the advice…...I guess." Mighty said.

"Oh no, this isn't going to end well." Mighty said, once Sonic was gone.
