Sonic paced down the corridor. With every step, a new wave of guilt washed over him. Deciding he couldn't take it anymore, he sat down in the hospital waiting room.

It was all his fault. He should have been paying more attention, instead he was now here worrying whether his friend was okay.

Ya know, normally you'd be trying to figure out what was up with that attack.

"Sonic?"

Said hedgehog jumped out of his chair with unrivalled speed and went to the doctor.

"Give me the news, Doc. Is-" Sonic braced himself for the wost case possible.

"Sonic?" the doctor asked.

Sonic opened one of his eyes which he hadn't even realized he'd shut.

The Doctor looked at him but continued, "Well, th-"

He stopped when a cascade of his notes and a strong breeze hit him. He then noticed that the blue blur was no longer there.

"Listen lady, the doctor said…"

"Oh, well which doctor was that?" asked the lady behind the counter.

Sonic sighed, arguing with this receptionist was taking to long. If he knew which room to go to he'd being checking on-

"Which doctor was it?" the lady asked again.

"What is it with you people!? Can't I even say-" he was cut off again.

"Did you know there is a section a few levels down for those with mental…issues." She looked at him as if to tell him to go there. Immediately, and leave her alone.

What's with these people? I can't even say her name.

He sighed and turned to the corridor. Well, looks like I'll have to do this the old fashion way.

He took a large gulp of air, hoping to yell out A-

"Oh there you are!" yelled the doctor from earlier. Sonic felt like yelling back, 'you don't have to yell, I'm right next to you!' but it wasn't possible, as the doctors large hand was overing his muzzle.

"Sonic, there's this place a few floors down that I'd like you to come see with-"

"AAMMMYYY!!!" Sonic screamed, but he was silenced before he thought to add on a 'HELP.'

"Um doctor? The president wants to speak to you." Sonic's ears perked in the direction of the speaker.

The doctor glanced at the receptionist then back to the person, all the while keeping Sonic's mouth shut.

Sonic heard a male voice mutter the president? From the cell phone in the speaker's hand.

"Yes, he wants to talk to you about… your work with the mentally unsound."

The doctor immediately ran to her side, followed by the receptionist. Sonic was completely forgotten.

"Yes Mr President?" he asked in a rush of excitement as he left the room.

"Ames!"

The pink hedgehog giggled as she was met with an uncharacteristic hug from a very relieved blue hero.

"Who's a hero now?" she smirked.
