Sonic hoped his worn biplane could last a little longer until he made it to an Island. After beating Eggman Sonic wanted to take the time to explore the uncharted regions of Mobius. There weren't many of them save in the ocean. Sonic couldn't maintain the speed to run on water for long so he had a few quick repairs done on his biplane.
"Not a second too soon, hopefully there's a mechanic on this island" Sonic remarked. The mechanic on the last island was only able to ensure his plane could pull off another week of travel. Unbeknownst to Sonic a small metallic object was trailing behind.
Sonic found a spot on the island devoid of trees that could serve as a run way. The tired plane touched down, it's engines hummed relieved to be given a break, and came to a stop. Once the plane had released all its momentum Sonic sprang out of the cockpit stretching.
Sonic didn't waste anymore time before launching into a jog. He sped at gazelle like speed as he probed the area for anything out of the usual or unordinary. He took a leap on a tree branch after seeing there were no man eating trees to beware of, sadly.
He wouldn't learn of this until years later but that shook a small fox out of her nap. The fox brushed away the leaves concealing her only to see the fleeting image of a sonic blue hedgehog. Calitos had never seen a creature that was anywhere near as seemingly unnatural as herself so she spun her tails to follow.
Calitos hovered over the canopy like a helicopter as she scanned for the hedgehog. His bright color made him easy to find despite his agility. She followed after at a steady distance and height. Calitos had thought hedgehogs were slow creators that only burrowed. If this hedgehog wasn't the exception then she needed to reasses her worldly knowledge.
She hovered to a stop above the hedgehog as he stopped to look around. Most people typically don't look up above a forty five degree angle. Calitos felt comfortable with her privacy knowing that fact, not educational but conventionaly. The fox didn't take into consideration the blue speedster's exceptional nature.
"Hey!" Sonic craned his neck straight up.
Calito's fright coupled with her steady exhaustion sent her into a fall. Sonic sprinted up the trees prepared to launch himself up in the air. It was unnecessary fortunately. The fox spun her tails to bring herself floating down. Sonic watched impressed at the fox's ability.
"So is this an Island of multi tailed foxes?" Said fox simply ran off into hiding at that.
"Who spy and hide?" Sonic simply raised an eye brow as the fox hid in the nearest tree, hoping Sonic wouldn't approach.
Sonic shrugged and resumed his job. Calitos emerged from the tree as Sonic's back started disappearing into the distance.
She spun her tails again to follow. This time she stayed in the canopy to decreased the chances of being spotted.
"The kid can keep up." After many battle with Robotnik he knew when someone was chasing him. At the very least this kid was giving him something novel on an unremarkable island, he could tolerate an annoying tag along.
For the rest of the morning Sonic displayed incredible feats of acrobatic and agility that the fox, while struggling, was able to keep up with. The blue hedgehog eventually decided that he had his fill of the fox. Sonic turned, using his motion to fling him towards the fox.
The fox froze when Sonic popped up in front of him on a tree branch.
"I'm going to take the rest of the day off. I'll be back at tomorrow it tomorrow. We'll go back it then lil' bro." Sonic popped the fox on the nose.
Calitos eeped before falling to the forest floor. Sonic giggled at the fox painfully rubbing her butt. The blue blur then jumped up and back on the branch. Sonic sprang away out of the fox's view.
Calitos just had one thought on her mind.
"Bro?"
