Silver was embarrassed, and he was sure everyone else was too on that day, but who could blame them? Hey asked a question that caused Sonic to reveal a secret he had probably tried to forget he even had! So the whole party after that was just everyone except Tails awkwardly avoiding Sonic. He felt bad for the younger Sonic too. He didn't know who any of these people were besides Tails and Knuckles, and possibly Amy. Poor kid, no wonder he was so peeved at all of them. Oh, that thought sounds wrong… calling him a kid, after all it still was Sonic, just younger.
It had been a least a month since the birthday, and from the short visits into the past showed that everyone was still just as awkward. Silver felt like he needed to fix this. So he was going to talk to Sonic. Even if on his birthday he had tried to kill him. Oops. Oh well.
It wasn't that hard to find the azure hedgehog. He found him in the Chao Garden in Station Square. He was sitting in one of the green grassy areas. The blue hedgehog was not however playing or interacting with a chao, but was fiddling with was looked akin to a plastic bracelet. "Sonic! Could I sit with you?" Silver called as he walked in.
His green eyes widened in surprise at the silver pothead's sudden appearance but still gestured for him to sit with him. Silver carefully sat next to Sonic and felt himself slightly on guard. "Thanks." Sonic hummed slightly in reply. Still fiddling with the plastic thing. On closer inspection it looked more like a collar, and had a faint light that was red.
"Soo, what is that?" The azure hedgehog cast him a swift glance, before handing the small thing to the other hedgehog.
"It's a collar? With a light? What am I supposed to do with this?" Sonic snatched the collar back to fiddle with it some more.
Silver shook his head, "Anyway, I've come to apologize,about the birthday party… I didn't mean to do that…" The other hedgehog waved his hand to show he didn't mind.
"So… um, have you been doing anything lately, Sonic?" Said hedgehog huffed slightly and then gestured to the collar, and back to his neck.
"Wha- Wait a minute. You aren't talking because you can't, 'cause your thing is broken?"
Sonic gestured to the red light on the device. "Is-is it supposed to be green or something?"
The azure hedgehog smiled slightly, to show that the yellow eyed mobian was right.
"Can't Tails fix it?" Silver questioned in curiosity. Sonic began to sign something before stopping, then looked to the other being with an annoyed expression. "Right, right, yes or no questions. So is Tails busy or something?"
Sonic shook his head yes, then shrugged slightly. "Okay, so he's kinda busy, right?" They sat in silence awhile. The azure hedgehog messing with his device; the white one looking at the playful chao.
"Must be hard, I can't imagine, just not talking at all." Emerald eyes meet golden ones. Click! Sonic looked back to the collar, the light had shifted from the faint red to an even fainter green. He quickly snapped the thing around his neck.
"Ah… there we go… I'll have to have Tails look at this thing later." he said standing up.
"So, that's it, you just, snap it on, and talk?"
"Um, it's hard to explain, if you ask Tails, he would be good at explaining it."
"About, me, saying sorry, do you want to talk about it? 'Cause if you need -"
"No! Eh, no, no, thanks though. Um, say, Silver, do you have chao yet?"
"What- no, Sonic can we just- what does a chao have to do with this?"
Sonic gestured to all around them, "We are in a chao garden, you know."
"I know that, but," Silver sighed, "No, I don't have a chao."
"Really!? You know what, come to the garden in the Mystic Ruins, and we'll see if we can get you an egg or something. Anyway, I've got to go, See ya!"
"Sonic!" the pothead said while trying to grab the blue blur. The white hedgehog shook his head. This was something he needed help from all of their friends.
Hello everyone! So I decided I wanted to expand on this little story. So now I'm going to write differentcharacters dealing with Mute!Sonic. I wasn't happy how I ended it, so now I'm adding to it! For those of you, who might be reading The Faker, don't worry, this isn't my top priority, it's just a side thing. And for those who haven't been reading The Faker, might wanna see it if you can, it's not Mute!Sonic, more, ehm, different... so yeah.
Imortal: You are counting this as your head canon? What!? Way past Cool!
Max Toast: That's actuallya good way to describe this. 'very neat' Neat.
Rebel S2: Yes, the end was very forced... but I was trying to leave it open, it case I wrote more, so yeah. Also underground, right, in my personal headcannon Sonic still has them as family in mainstream.
Ghostkid33: Thanks for that nice review. So nice! Also, it's not really a sequel, but I'm continuingit!
Anyway, please review, and stuff. Hopefully the AN, wont be so long next time! Quantum27 Out!
