Chapter 4

Me and Sonia were super embarrassed. We had been seeing each other since last winter and had been trying to keep it a secret. Well, that was a total bust. We should have had our date in a more secluded. A place that isn't part of Manic's snooping grounds.

We didn't say anything for the rest of the trip to Sanctuary. Sonic and Manic must have known that we would have hurt them if they said anymore. We were definitely going to have to get them back some how.

Until we though of something, we were going to be silent. "Look, I'm sorry guys." Manic said, breaking the silence.

"Sorry? Sorry! Sorry doesn't even begin to cut it." I yelled. "What you guys did was absolutely unacceptable."

"Snow is right. What you guys did is something we will not forgive you for." Sonia said.

"Do you understand the words that our coming out of our mouths? We are sorry. We didn't thing it would end like that." Sonic said, with his eyes on the road.

"Well, you thought wrong." Sonia said.

Again, more long silence. "How long have you been dating my sister, Snow?" Sonic asked, breaking the silence yet again.

"Is that any of you business, man? No, it isn't." I said.

"Actually, it kind of is my business. She's my sister." Sonic said.

"Yeah." Manic said in agreement.

"No it isn't. It absolutely isn't your business on who I fall in love with. It never will be." Sonia said.

"Okay fine. I'll shut up now." Sonic said.

"No you won't." I whispered to myself.

Knowing Sonic, he wouldn't stop talking about it for quite awhile. He is quite the chatter box. You tell him something, and he wouldn't stop talking about it for freaking weeks. I told him how I got a scar on my arm and he didn't stop talking about it for weeks.

"Seriously guys, how long have you guys have been dating?" Manic said, breaking the silence yet again.

I groaned. "Fine, if you won't shut up about it, then we will tell you." I said.

" Since last winter. There are you happy?" Sonia said.

" Jeez." Sonic said.

We arrived at the forest community of Sanctuary in no time. We exited the van and strutted to the center of it in silence.

There, their was a group of children of varying sizes. One of the children, a rabbit, walked up to me. " Hello, Mister Snow." The rabbit said.

" Hi." I said. I was in a bad mood. Homesickness and embarrassment can be a deadly combination.

The rabbit must of heard the sourness in my voice because he asked, "Are you alright, Mister Snow? "

I didn't say anything.

"Did you hear me, Mister Snow?" The rabbit asked.

I still didn't respond. The rabbit turned his attention to Sonia. "Miss Sonia, do you know what's wrong with Mister Snow?" he asked.

Sonia didn't respond either. Her mood was as bad as mine.

"Miss Sonia, is something wrong with you to?" The rabbit said.

Sonia still didn't respond.

This time he turned his attention to Sonic and Manic. "Mister Sonic, Mister Manic, do you know what's wrong with Mister Snow and Miss Sonia?" He asked.

Sonic and Manic nodded. "Yep." They said in unison.

"Can you tell us?" The rabbit asked.

Sonic and Manic shook their heads. "Nope."

"Why not?" The rabbit asked.

"Because it's incredibly personal." I said, finally talking.

"It's that they shouldn't have known about." Sonia said.

"What do you mean?" The rabbit asked.

"Lets just say they caught us in an embarrassing situation." I said.

The rabbit nodded in understanding. "Okay, I get it. I won't ask anymore."

Me and Sonia smiled. "Thanks kid." Sonia said.

" Well, now that that is out of the way, how about I sing for you?" I asked the children, eager to change the subject.

The children started cheering. " I take that as a yes. Well, you know what to do guys." I said, turning towards the hedgehogs.

They nodded, and touched their medallions to summon their instruments. Sonic summoned his guitar, Manic his drum set and Sonia her keyboard.

"This song is called Home Sweet Home." I said, and with that Sonia started playing her keyboard.

" You know I'm a dreamer, but my hearts of gold. I had to run away high, so I won't come home. Just when things went bad, doesn't mean there hardly wrong, just take this song and you'll never be left all alone. Take me to your heart, fill me in you bones, tonight I'm coming home along these windy roads." I sang.

I sang my fox heart out. One thing I love a lot is entertaining. Judging by how the kids were reacting to me, I was doing really well. Then again, kids are pretty easily entertained. Though I didn't think that was the case.

As soon as the song was done, I bowed. The children were all applauding, whistling, doing all sorts of things to show that they enjoyed it.

" Great job, Mister Snow." One of them said.

"Yeah, that was amazing." Another said.

I giggled. " Oh. I wasn't that good." I said.

"What are you talking about Snow? You were great. Why do you have to be so modest?" Sonia said with a smile.

"Modesty is in my blood." I said with a laugh.

" Now that you are done performing for us, will you tell us what is wrong with you and Miss Sonia?" a different kid asked this time.

" I think I'm going to wait in the van." I said, starting to walk to the van.

" I'm going with you." Sonia said, starting to follow.

We were in the van within a couple of minutes. " You would think that all the kids would back off." I said.

" Guess we were wrong." Sonia said.. "I wish there was someway we could get Sonic and Manic back for what they did."

" Let's start brainstorming." I said, with that we started a brain storming session.

I lifted my finger as if I had something but quickly put it back down. " I thought I had something, but I Just lost it." I said.

" Well, keep thinking." Sonia said.

Sonia spoke up after an hour of thinking. " Just got something!" She exclaimed.

" Well, tell me." I said.

Sonia leaned towards me a whispered something in my ear.

" Genius!" I exclaimed

With that we started waiting. Our plan would only work with them their.

After forty five minutes, I started getting impatient. " Come on guys, get here."

"Patience is a virtue Snow." Sonia said.

" What on Mobius does that mean?" I asked.

" It means be patient." Sonia said.

" You could have just said that." I said before we started waiting again.

Another forty five minutes passed. " Come on you guys, I'm waiting." Sonia impatiently said.

My eyes widened. " You did not just say that." I said.

" Oh my gosh, I just did." Sonia said.

" Since when did you start using Sonic's catch phrases?" I asked.

" I don't know." Sonia said . ( if you don't know, " I'm waiting" is one of Sonic's catch phrases in Sonic Underground.)

Another forty five minutes had passed and we were both fed up. " That's it, I'm going to look for them. Come on Snow." Sonia said.

I gave her a nod and hand in hand we headed for the door. Right when we were about to exit, we heard voices outside of it. I quickly ran back to my seat. Sonia sat on my lap.

" Get ready." I mouthed to Sonia. Then the door opened and our plan came into action.

" Look guys, were…Ohhhhhhh! Get a room." Manic's thoughts being interrupted.

" Manic?" Sonic said.

" Yeah?" Manic said.

" I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit." Sonic said.

" So did I." Manic said.

What were we doing to gross them out so much? We were making out in front of them. We kind of figured that it would not only gross them out but it would also embarrass them. Wouldn't you be if you saw one of your best friends making out with your sister? I sure as heck would.

Me and Sonia giggled with our lips pressed together. We soon stopped.

" Oh man, their reactions were gold." I said.

" Oh yeah." Sonia said.

Manic and Sonic's expressions turned from disgust to puzzlement. " Wait, were you guys planning that?" Manic asked.

" Yep." Me and Sonia said in unison.

" It's payback for embarrassing us." I said. " Trust me on this one, if you embarrass us again things are going to get worse for you guys."

" Well said." Sonia said.

Sonic sighed. " It will never happen again."

" Okay, time to stop fighting each other and time to start fighting Flabbuttnik." Manic said.

We all nodded and soon Sonic started driving the van.
