Chapter 3:
The soothing place Sonic spotted was a clear pond, with green tall grass surrounding the banks. A few spots in the sparkly pond had lily-pads and other plants in the swampy areas of the pond. There were a few mosquitoes flying right over the surface of the clear water, as well as other insects.
"This is where I go here to watch the insects fly around and the fish that swim in places." said Sonic as he and Tails sat on a rock that was among the edge of the clean pond.
"Oh, that's nice." responded Tails.
Tails took a peak at the water by him, and he spotted brown dirt underwater. As he gazed longer, he saw a fish swim swiftly by. Sonic got back up on his feet and walked back in the tall grass.
"Come on Tails." Sonic called out as he was inside the deep grass. "I need some exercise. You can watch me run around a little bit."
"Okay Sonic." called back Tails.
Tails walked back in the tall grass to catch up to the quick-witted hedgehog. He eventually caught up with him and walked beside him. After a few minutes slowly went by, they were in an area of extensive field where the grass wasn't really tall. The grass now was only about 6 inches high. Tails sat a small gray rock and watched Sonic stretch his legs. Then Sonic dashed off as quick as lightning and vanished towards a mountain in the long, far west.
Tails' jaw dropped slightly after seeing this and said, "Whoa! I never knew Sonic could run THAT fast…"
In less then 5 seconds, Sonic came right back from the mountain. Tails was really impressed by this.
"I never knew that you were that fast Sonic." commented Tails.
"That's why everyone calls me, "Sonic." I'm the world's fastest hedgehog."
"Let me try running that fast!" shouted the excited fox as he began running fast through the field on all fours. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't too fast to keep up with his idol. Sonic laughed in the distance at the poor fox's try on running.
"The day that you would run as fast as me, is the day you would have your body turned into ash." Sonic said as he chuckled more.
Tails walked on his hind feet back to Sonic with an embarrassing look. Then he stated, "I guess we're all different. After all, look at my tails. I have two of them."
"You know..." thought Sonic, "Those tails look like something I once saw on a machine thing."
Tails looked at Sonic with a curious look and asked, "What machine thing?"
"It had two giant poles on top of it, and they spinned around in many circles. It made the machine fly. It was really weird. That's what your tails remind me of." explained Sonic.
"Oh. Really…" said Tails.
"Maybe if you spinned those tails around really fast, maybe YOU could fly." said Sonic.
Tails had a paranoid look on his face. "I don't think it would work. It would be silly."
Tails went back to his cute normal look and walked back into the tall grass to head back to Sonic's natural home. But Sonic did not follow Tails yet. He was still thinking about his imagery about Tails flying with his two tails.
Sonic sighed and said, "You may never know…"
Sonic then ran up to Tails to catch up to him on their way back home.
