Writer's block's a b****.

Sorry the chapters so short but it's the best I've got right now

Insanity Allgera: SORRRYYY! I will make it up to you with a super chapter whenever my brain starts working! 3X

Skiller339: Yeah she's a squirrel. I don't know why she doesn't have a tail though. Her brother and dad do in the comics... Sega's weird. P You'll have to wait a bit for Uncle Chuck. But it's closer than you think. X3

gwencarson126: Don't worry I won't stop writing! Sorry this took so long.

Silence reigned over the area as they all stared at each other. Sonic found the whole thing rather amusing. His Knothole friends? Not so much.

Sonia and Manic were just really confused.

Finally Sonic got up and helped the fallen fox to his feet, who then immediately hid behind the blue hedgehog. "Sonia, Manic, these are my friends from the Knothole freedom fighters."

Sally came to stand by Sonic, her cheeks hinted with a bit of pink, "Sorry we interrupted."

"Actually that was pretty good timing. I was about to tell them about you guys."

"Yeah, don't worry about it." Manic smiled, taking some of the tension out of the air, "Where one of you the one who found my stick?" he asked, holding up said stick.

Not moving from his spot, Tails raised his hand, glancing around his hedgehog barrier. Sonic smiled at how shy the fox was acting and turned his body so that he could ruffle the kit's bangs, "This is Tails. He's the one who found it floating in the river."

The green hedgehog bent down to the child's height, "Thanks a lot! I was really freaking out about losing it."

Tails allowed a small grin, but still stayed behind Sonic.

"It's nice to meet you all," the female hedgehog came up to the group as Manic stood up, "I'm Sonia and this is Manic." The latter waved as he was announced.

"Same to you," the walrus tipped his hat to the two, "I'm Rotor."

"Antione." The coyote stated, bowing to them.

"Ah'm Bunny," the rabbit exited the bush she had been standing in. Noticing the surprised looks the two gave her robotic appendages she explained, "Robotnik managed to git a hold of me when ah was little."

"Oh, sorry," Sonia apologized as she realized the looks they must have given her, "We were just a bit startled. I've only seen one other person who got partially robotized."

"There's someone else?!"

"It's a long story." Sonic told her.

The squirrel held out her hand, "I'm Sally."

Sonia took it and shook. "Is this all of you?"

"No. There are more back at the village. Come on, we'll show you." Sonic started to push the two into the brush.

Manic ran ahead, out of his brother's grip causing him to stumble slightly at the sudden loss of support. "Totally let's go."

"You don't know which way to go bro," Sonic pointed out when Manic turned around to run forward.

"Oh yeah."

"Yep. You're definitely related," Sally pointed out.

Sonic elbowed her playfully as they went to catch up with him.

"So," Sally jumped slightly as Sonia's sudden appearance beside her, "How much trouble has Sonic caused?"

She couldn't help but laugh, "So much."

They both giggled. It escalated when the blue hedgehog looked back at them suspiciously.

"What are you two laughing about?"

"Oh it's nothing."

"I highly doubt that."

The two feigned innocence as the group continued. Bunny, Antione, and Rotor snickering from behind them. Tails had hitched a ride on Sonics back with his arms linked around the hedgehog's neck.

"Here we go!" Sonic announced.

But, "Um there's nothing here…"

"Tails." The fox reach out at the hedgehog's request and pulled on a hanging vine next to them.

The two newcomers gaped at the sudden appearance of the slide.

"Oh that's so cool!" Manic exclaimed.

"Come on!" Sonic jumped through the opening, laughing as the twists and turns spun them about. He could hear everyone doing the same behind him.

Light burst through the end, blinding him for a second before landing among the soft pile of hay waiting for them. He stuck his head out of the pile just in time to see both his siblings exit and ram right into him.

"Ow!"

"Sorry!"

Sonic smiled, "Don't worry about it. Just about everyone has experienced that."

"But it's fun huh?" Tails asked, his head popping right next to Sonic.

"Mm-hm!"

"Hey Tails, you mind findin Dulc for me?" Sonic asked as they dug their way out of the pile.

"Sure!"

"Well he suddenly came out of his shell," Sonia noticed.

"He gets really happy after going down the slide so it was probably that. Hopefully he'll stay like that," Sonic looked back as the rest of his friends arrived, "He's normally pretty outgoing though, so it shouldn't take long for him to warm up to you guys."

"Oh good," Sonia looked off in the direction the small fox had run off, "He's pretty cute."

"Sonic," said hedgehog turned as Sally came up behind them, "Let's go find Uncle Chuck. I'm sure he'd want to hear about this."

Sonia and Manic spun to their brother, their eyes wide with surprise and question.

'Oh boy,' he thought, 'I've got a lot of explaining to do.'
