That Familiar Hedgehog
I know I've seen him before. That hedgehog. I've seen him, but where? Why can't I remember? I know that I've bumped into him before. I have no idea who he is, but that guy gave me the creeps. I don't like the idea of Amy hanging out with him at all. I stared at the ceiling, trying to remember. That hedgehog gave me a bad vibe. I did not like him at all. Even if I hadn't talked to him. I didn't like the way he held Amy or the way he looked at her. Like a cat closing in on a mouse. Did I mention I didn't like the way he held her?
Oh, great. Now I was starting to sound like a jealous ex-boyfriend. I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous. I just care about her as a friend. Besides, it was only one night. She will never see the guy again. Right? Crap, now I'm getting paranoid. I need to talk to someone. Time to visit Grumpy again.
At Angel Island...
"What in the world are you doing here? Shouldn't you be off saving the world or something? Or consuming huge amounts of chili dogs?" Knuckles was standing—guess where—in front of the Master Emerald.
"What in the world are you doing wasting your life by guarding a rock?"
"For your information, this is my duty as guardian of—"
"Yeah, yeah, sure. I know. I just came to talk to you. I need help." Grumpy glared at me. He obviously did not enjoy being interrupted.
"Well, why don't you go talk to Tails instead? I have enough on my mind already." Knuckles was pissed. Today was not his day. What if…? I decided to humor myself.
"Problems with Rouge, Knuckie?"
Knuckles turned redder that he already was, if that was possible. "Don't even bring that bat up! That stupid, annoying, flirty player, doesn't know what….." He mumbled angrily under his breath, calling the bat all sorts of names.
"So it is Rouge. What happened this time?" I leaned against the pillars holding up the shrine of the Master Emerald. Guess I was going to stay here longer than planned.
"Humph," was all he said. He crossed his arms and looked off to the side. But his eyes flickered to the Master Emerald. Now being Sonic THE Hedgehog, I could figure out what had happened.
"She tried to steal the Master Emerald again, didn't she? And she flirted with you and you fell for it." Yep, I was a genius.
Knuckles glared at me. "I didn't fall for it!"
I laughed and got a rock thrown at my face for it. A rather large rock. "Ow, Knuckie. That hurt!"
"Don't you ever call me that again!"
I rubbed my forehead. There was going to be a bump there in the morning. "Anyway, I came here to talk to you about something. At the party last night, Amy hung out with this one hedgehog and I got a bad vibe off of him. I felt like I've seen him somewhere. And I don't think that he's helped me. He's not good. And Amy was with him all night!"
Now it was Knuckles's turn to laugh. "Jealous much, Sonic?"
"I'm not jealous! It's just that I know I've seen that guy somewhere before and he's not a good guy!"
"You're jealous Sonic. See, I told you. You're going to regret breaking up with Amy."
"Maybe I should talk to Tails. You're no help." I ran out of Angel Island and headed towards the Mystic Ruins before Knuckles could even open his mouth.
At the Mystic Ruins...
"Hey Tails, I need to talk to you, buddy." I called out to my favorite two-tailed fox.
"What's up, Sonic?" Tails was working on an upgrade to the Tornado. I swear, that kid never stops. I didn't even think the Tornado could have more features than it already has but Tails somehow always comes up with something to add to it.
"You do what happened to Amy and I, right?"
"You mean, 'me and Amy'?" He corrected my grammar. "Yeah, I know. It's all over the place. Now I'm not going to ask you why but I am going to tell you that you made a huge mistake. I don't know what goes on in that head of yours sometimes. You make a lot of stupid decisions."
"Um, yeeeah." My hand made its way toward the back of my neck. "It's not about that. There was a hedgehog at the party last night and I got a really bad vibe off of him."
Tails put down his power tool. "Was he with Amy?"
"Yeah."
"Don't you think that you're just jealous?"
I sighed. "That's the same thing Knuckles said. But I'm not jealous. I know I've seen him before. I know that I've bumped into him somewhere and it wasn't pretty."
Now Tails completely gave his attention to me and out his 'serious face' on. "Do you remember who he is? What did he do? Did he fight you?"
"That's the thing. I don't remember who he is. I just have the feeling that I've seen him before. But I don't remember anything at all. It was a long time ago."
"Well, could you be mistaken? He could just look like someone you've fought before."
"Maybe. But I really don't know. If I see him again, I'll try to remember. This should be fun. I'll run around and see if I can find him."
"You're going on a hedgehog hunt?" Tails asked. "I can help if you want. I'm done anyway. I'll fly up on the Tornado."
"Thanks, Tails. I'll see you later!" I turned around to leave and look for that hedgehog. Now where could he be hiding? I really hoped it was near a chili dog stand because I was starting to get hungry.
"Hey, Sonic. It's kinda worrying me so how did you get that bump on your head that's the size of a baseball?"
I realized that I haven't updated in a really long time so sorry about that. Review, please.
Thanks for reading!
