Chapter 2 - How the Other Side Lives
o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
A young blue teenage hedgehog yawned as he lased around on the beach, seemingly unaware of the hundreds of people that currently surrounded him, begging for his autograph. The blue hedgehog had gained an amazingly large amount of popularity due to his latest win at the races. It seemed that no matter how he asked, people were always impressed that he could run at such astonishingly high speeds.
The lazy hedgehog absolutely loved being able to gain so much popularity through a few few slow races where his closest opponent could barely run at half his speed. Unfortunately for the hyper hedgehog, even with all this publicity, or more accurately because of this publicity, he was finding himself more and more cut off from others. With everyone seeing him as a hero, no one was acting like a real friend, and he was sick of the impersonal attention.
Eventually he managed to get away from the adoring crowd, running at the speed of sound is always useful. He decided then and there that he had to get away from everything. He decided that it was time for a vacation.
And his biplane was just begging to be flow.

An hour later, Sonic was flying through the air in his trustworthy biplane. He absolutely loved being able to shoot through the air, the clouds either far above or far below him. Of course, Sonic preferred to run, rather than fly, if he had the choice, but that didn't mean that he didn't enjoy the experience just the same.
Three hours later, however, Sonic was starting to become majorly stir crazy and had taken to tying the planes controls in place, while he stretched on the planes wings. Unfortunately this absolutely brilliant idea...wasn't brilliant.
A stray higher pressure pocket affected the level flight of the plane and the plane steeply banked to the right, the plane veering off it's intended course and shooting towards the small chain of varying tropical West-side Islands. Sonic, taken by surprise from the sudden movement, only had time to grab hold of the wing of the plane as it began to bank sharply.
The plane's path began to rapidly change as the plane got caught in a spin. Luckily the skilled hedgehog managed to quickly clamber along the wing, the wind rushing past him threatening to throw him off, and forced his way back to the planes controls.
He struggled to wrestle the planes controls straight as the plane flew lower and lower towards the ground.
He glanced up a head and what he saw next chilled him to the bone.The plane was merely metres off the ground and there was a massive cliff face up ahead and Sonic was unsure that he would be able to even regain the plane before the plane hit the cliff face. Still, he wasn't about to mess around with 'what ifs'.
He forced the controls harder than they were ever designed to take and the plane struggled to pull itself out of the nearly crippling dive. Luckily, the hedgehog managed to turn the plane away from the incoming cliff, and instead the plane was now running alongside the massive natural rock wall.
The blue hedgehog cheered. throwing his arms up in the air, letting go of the control. Congratulating himself on such a good job. Unfortunately this was all it took for the plane to veer a few feet to the left, towards the rock wall.
The planes left wing scraped noisily along the wall and the pilot was forced to quickly drop his cheer and managed to pull the plane into a stable flight. Unfortunately the wing was heavily damaged and the blue hedgehog was struggling to keep his biplane level. He quickly realized that he had no choice but to land the plane at the first available time.
He twisted the controls and the plane twisted awkwardly through the air. He looked down and noticed a reasonably flat beach below. He quickly dropped his height and skimmed the sand shore,accidentally clipping the landing gear. The plane's wheels dug in and the plane crashed hard on the ground, pinwheeling over and throwing the hedgehog away from his plane and into a large pile of sand.
Shaking himself, to dislodge all of the sand that had accumulate all over himself, the blue hedgehog pulled himself to his feet to survey the remains of his plane. Luckily it wasn't in bad shape. And he was sure that it wouldn't be to difficult to fix if he could find someone to repair it for him.
Little did the hedgehog know that there was one such person barely a mile away, crawling silently on the cold hard stony forest floor, his body covered in cuts and brusies.

A/n: I couldn't be bothered waiting for a review before posting the second chapter, now I'm off to get a drink and maybe continue on the third chapter. A review would be nice.
