Chapter 2

PAST AND FUTURE TENSE

At another place...at another time...

The sun was high in the sky as Sonic waited around outside his camp tapping his feet as he did so
"C'mon..." Sonic murmured
"How can a time traveller turn up this late?" his impatience was cut short by a shining yellow light that momentarily dazzled by the tree Sonic had marked accordingly
"-Control…next time leave a more obvious marker, not all trees stay around for 200 years you know" said Silver the hedgehog who was still glowing from chronos control, Sonic grinned
"Hey there time guy, I haven't seen you in months! How long's it been since my birthday from your end?"
"Yesterday actually" Silver replied with a hint of annoyance on this face
"Heh heh…my bad" Sonic chuckled as he laid back to enjoy the sun for a moment before speaking again
"I asked you to come because your always uptight about everything every time you come to this time" Silver grunted
"Yeah? What about it?" Sonic continued "Wellll I just thought it would be great if you could stay here for a vacation or something, to cut lose like me!"
"Like you…" Silver said sarcastically
"Well okay not like me" Sonic rushed out
"But seriously, take in the views, enjoy the food and see more of the past first hand" Silver considered it for a moment before answering
"Well I…guess as a time traveller I have all time in the world, fine…for 1 week"
"Trust me, you'll love it!" Sonic said triumphantly.

DAY 1

"Hey Tails! Are all the rings set?" Sonic shouted while holding on to the wing of Tails's super jet the tornado
"Yeah! There all set up!" shouted back Tails before Silver who was outfitting the lightspeed augments into his shoes while flying next to the plane interrupted the conversation
"Are you sure this is safe?" Sonic chuckled
"Define safe! YAAAHHHOOOO!" Sonic zipped across the down spiralling trail of rings that had been set out
"It's okay! All you have to do is touch the first ring, its completely safe! Tails yelled over the turbulence
"Fine, if you say so!" Silver replied as he hesitantly touched the first ring of the second trail
"Ohhh GOD!" Silver was sent flying down the spiral, Tails flinched as he saw fragments of vomit fly out.

DAY 3

Sonic sniggered as he finished loading up the game on his computer
"Hey Silver! Come here, there's this game you've GOT to play" Silver reluctantly walked over to the computer and looked at the title screen "Okay let's see, SLENDER…sooo you want me to play this?"
"Yeah it's got a few scares in it but I'm sure it's nothing Mr "warrior from the future" can't handle, right?" Sonic said smugly, Silver didn't give him the satisfaction of a response, Sonic left the room after switching off the light, Sonic stood outside the room for about 2 minute's before… "AHHHHHHH JESUS!" Silver screamed before something flew out of the door to the room and into a wall, Sonic was having a silent laughing fit before karma took hold and he realised that what had hit the wall…was the computer.

DAY 5

Sonic and Silver soured across the desert landscape leaving blue and cyan afterimages in their wake
"I'm going to beat you this time!" taunted Silver as he slowly overtook sonic
"Admit it! I can fly faster than you can run!" he continued before he was once again in draw with Sonic
"Neverrrrr!" the blue hedgehog shouted immaturely before in an instant they both found themselves headfirst in the palms of a certain black and red hedgehog, their pain receptors kicked in causing both Silver and Sonic to yell and curse at their impact before Shadow dragged them back into reality
"Stop bellyaching and listen, you're both coming with me to help clean up the mess this blue idiot made" Sonic looked up at Shadow, not understanding what was going on
"What mess? Where're we going?" Shadow took a moment to reply
"Whitespace"
