Chapter 14: Dinner with the Connells
Sonic rode his extreme gear back to the guild in Magnolia after hanging out with the black mage himself: Zeref. Sonic arrive to Magnolia and decide to roam around the city so he puts his extreme gear away and just jump from rooftop to rooftop like Spiderman roaming around the city of New York. Sonic did some tricking moves while roaming around Magnolia for his spare time and gaining some air. Sonic heads over to the old building of Fairy Tail and runs up top of the roof where the bell and looks at the view of the city. Sonic smiled, crossing his arms staring to the view.
"This view is sure is beautiful." Sonic commented.
"Sonic."
Sonic quickly turns around, sees his exceed Kenny behind him.
"Kenny. Hey were you looking for me?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah. Since I got a radar on my laptop sensing you're in town so I thought I come look for you. How was your time with Zeref?" Kenny said asking.
"It was good. He seems like a nice and an ok guy and no he did not try to kill me. We had fun."
"That's a good relief. I was worried about you. Sorry if I yelled at you."
"I know and that's ok, you were just looking out for me. Ain't nothing wrong with that man? You just have to trust me ok."
"I do trust you Sonic."
"I know, so do I." Let's head on back."
Kenny nod his head. Team Sonic returns back to the guild entering the guild. When Sonic and Kenny enter inside the guild, they turn their attention to see Alzack and Bisca walking over to Sonic with smiles on their faces.
"Hey guys. What's up?" Sonic asked.
"Hey Sonic. Me and Bisca want to ask you something if that's ok with you?" Alzack asked.
"Well I'm on my way to the job request board so sure. What's on your mind?"
"We were wondering if you come over to our place for dinner."
"Wait are you guys inviting me for dinner?"
"Yes. Asuka would love to have you over to play with seeing you as her hero. If it's ok you come over for dinner?" Bisca asked.
"I love to. So is it just me?"
"No you can bring Erza and Kenny over with you."
"I'll do that Did you talk to Erza?"
"Yeah and she would love come over." Alzack responded.
"Then it's settle. I'll be there tonight."
"Good. Asuka can't wait to see her, we didn't even tell her so we wanted to surprise her." Bisca confessed.
"Oh."
"We'll let you get back to whatever you're doing and thank you." Alzack thanked.
"No problem."
Sonic and Kenny walk over to the quest board to take a job.
"Well looks like we're being the guests for dinner huh?" Kenny asked.
"Yep. That's a first for me."
"So you're going?"
"Yeah. Asuka even looks up to me so why not surprise her just to make her happy."
Kenny smile a bit agreeing with Sonic on this and they took a job and left the guild. Before Sonic can leave with Kenny on the job, Lucy spotted Sonic and stopped him.
"Sonic wait up!" Lucy yelled out.
Sonic and Kenny stop their tracks, turning themselves around to face Lucy making her way towards them.
"Lucy. Hey." Sonic greeted.
"Where are you two heading off too?" Lucy asked.
"To a job of course. Is there something you need?"
"I wanted to show you my celestial wizards who wants to see you after you've been away asleep for seven long years."
"Oh yeah?"
"Uh-huh. Can I?"
"Sure, sure you can. I have time."
"Ok then."
First Lucy summons Virgo with one of her golden gate keys.
"Hello Princess, do you wish to punish me?" Virgo asked.
"No. But I would like for you to meet someone." Lucy stated.
"Ok who?"
Lucy points her finger turning Virgo's attention sees Sonic.
"Sonic." Virgo said.
"Yeah hey Virgo." Sonic greeted.
"It's been so long, I thought you was dead."
"No I was alive and I've been sleeping for seven years."
"It is good to see you. So do you wish to punish me?"
"What?"
"VIRGO!" Lucy cried.
"Sorry princess, Sonic it is so good to see you again for seven years."
"Likewise." Sonic smiled.
"You can punish me whenever you like."
Lucy got upset and yelled at Virgo before going back to the celestial world. Lucy then summons Virgo using the puddle of water.
"What did I tell you about summoning me from a puddle wench? I was in a middle of a date." Aquarius insulted.
"Sorry but didn't you want to meet someone after all these years?" Lucy offered.
"Meet Sonic. I already got a…"
Aquarius turn her attentions sees Sonic right in front of him. Her eyes begin to change into hearts pointing her finger at Sonic.
"Sonic, is that you?" Aquarius asked.
"In the flesh. You're still grumpy as ever." Sonic reminded.
Aquarius charge over at Sonic and embraces him in a hug and twirls her finger to his chest.
"You're still handsome as ever. I hear you became a SSS-Class wizard. Leo told me." Aquarius assured.
"Yeah that's right the strongest there is." Sonic corrected.
"Oh you are so handsome when you're strong. So are you and Erza are over? Did you guys divorce?"
"Why did you asked that question?"
"Why don't you and I go out on a date together just the two of us? I can show how a real woman give you loving."
"But you're in a relationship with Scorpio."
"True but he's not that good looking as you my handsome hedgehog."
Sonic had a nervous smile and Aquarius is about to make her move on Sonic to kiss him on the lips that until Lucy interrupt.
"Aquarius don't you think it's time you go back to your date." Lucy reminded.
"Forget Scorpio, so Sonic would do you say? I even like your tattoos, they look sexy on you." Aquarius flirted.
"I don't think that's going to be a good idea."
"Erza doesn't have to know baby. I can't take it anymore my handsome hedgehog. Come on and kiss me."
Aquarius holds Sonic into her arms, smiling at him and pucker her lips ready to kiss Sonic. Sonic backed his head away not trying to kiss Aquarius thus until Lucy sent her back to the celestial spirit world.
"She is so going to kill me." Lucy said in fear.
"Definitely." Sonic agreed.
"First Virgo and Aquarius. Sonic how do you keep attracting woman towards you?" Kenny asked.
"I don't know. I wish I knew."
"Why don't I just continue?" Lucy suggested.
"Yeah."
Lucy continue on to summon a few more of her celestial spirits to meet Sonic again and greeted him after being away asleep for seven years. Leo even try flirting with Lucy but she had her eyes on Sonic still interesting in the blue hedgehog. Capricorn met Sonic for the first time after hearing a lot of stories about him. After meeting all of celestial spirits, Sonic bid farewell to each of every spirit.
"Well that's that." Lucy said.
"It was great to see all of them doing well so far." Sonic responded.
"Yeah now Aquarius and Virgo likes you and don't forget Aries." Kenny reminded.
"Hey now don't remind me. Aries is sure very shy and respectable as well."
"That's true."
"So are you guys are going on a job?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah we got to get going. Hey I did promise you I take you on a job so want to come with us?" Sonic offered.
"YES!" Lucy squealed.
"I figured you might want a break from Natsu from wrecking everything and pay for the damages of your reward. Don't worry, I'll split of reward."
"Cool then let's go."
Team Sonic and Lucy left for a job that the duo had selected.
Later, the Connell Residence…
Bisca making dinner while Alzack sets up the plates, fork, knives and spoon at the dining room. Asuka in her room playing with her toys playing Sonic the Hedgehog action figures that her parents bought for her knowing she's a big fan of Sonic.
"Alzack. Is everything ready for dinner?" Bisca asked in the kitchen.
"Yes. The plates and everything is already set up." Alzack answered.
Seconds after, Asuka coming in the dining room.
"Daddy. Who is coming over for dinner?" Asuka asked.
"You'll find out soon enough Asuka." Alzack smiled.
Moments later, there is a knock on the door. Alzack heads to the door to answer with Asuka follow by. Alzack unlocks the door and opening it reviews to be Sonic with Erza and Kenny at the front shocking Asuka.
"SONIC!" Asuka squealed.
"Hey kiddo. Surprise." Sonic greeted.
Asuka rushes to Sonic and hugs him with Sonic returning the hug.
"Your parents invited me for dinner and I brought Erza and Kenny with me." Sonic notified.
"Come on in you guys." Alzack offered.
The three enter inside the house with Alzack shutting the door and lock it. Asuka takes Asuka to her room with Kenny following them to the room. Erza and Alzack begin talking in the living room while Bisca prepare dinner.
"So how is life being married?" Erza asked.
"It's going well. Everything is pretty good so far. I can't complain about that Erza. So how's your life being married to Sonic?" Alzack responded.
"Good. We already catch up and we spend more time together, we still have our ups and downs but we managed through it together. Asuka sure was surprised to see Sonic right in front of her."
"Yeah that's right. Ever since we told stories about the great Sonic the Hedgehog, she dreamed of wanting to meet her but after we told her about his death her dreams of meeting with Sonic shattered and she plays his action figures and has all of them with different forms."
"Wow. Really."
"Yeah she's really a big fan of Sonic and dreams of being a hero like him one day."
"She has dreams I see."
"Pretty much. But still she's a big fan of your husband and you're very lucky to have Sonic as your husband."
"I get that a lot and I love Sonic so much."
Asuka's Room…
"I even got this action figure of you being Super Sonic 4." Asuka showed.
"Wow you have all of these action figures. What about other action figures do you have instead of me?" Sonic asked.
"Well… I do have a Natsu action figure, even Lucy, Erza, Gray and some other action figures."
"That's nice." Kenny commented playing with one of the Sonic action figures.
"Well how about we play with them while we wait for dinner." Sonic smiled.
"Yeah." Asuka agreed.
Team Sonic play with Asuka with her action figures while they wait for dinner.
The Dining Room…
Everyone had gathered in the dining room saying their prayers and eat their meals that Bisca had cook. Sonic takes a sip of his glass of water. Kenny takes a bite of his meal during their dinner. There was a complete moment of silence. No one bother to talk, until the moment the blue speedster broke the silence.
"This is good. Bisca." Sonic commented.
"Thank you. I've been practicing cooking." Bisca thanked.
"No problem. Kenny how's your dinner?"
"It's delicious. Ms. Connell this is very good." Kenny complimented taking another bite.
"Thank you."
"I must say this is delicious as well." Erza also complimented.
"So Sonic, how does it feel like being a SSS-Class wizard?" Alzack asked.
"Good question. You are the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail so you got answer that question." Bisca joined in.
"Well to be honest it felt good. I didn't know I would get promoted to be an SSS-Class wizard since I was formerly as SS-Class but being the SSS-Class is… wow… I don't know what to say. It felt good." Sonic answered truthfully.
"Sonic. Your fight against the three strong dragon slayers was the best fight I have ever seen in my entire life when you eventually absorb Laxus's lightning with your lightning form." Asuka commented.
"We were all shocked that you could pull that move Sonic. How did you do it?" Alzack asked.
"Well um… to be honest I don't know. I didn't know I could absorb that attack when I caught since yesterday but I must've found a way to absorb it without any trouble at all. I think it must have do with my training that pulled it off."
"That must be is Sonic. Being that strong had pulled that off and you're getting stronger as well." Kenny pointed out.
"Yeah you're right Kenny."
"Sonic we should start training and training the swordsmanship. You are skilled with your sword are you not?" Erza questioned.
"Yeah I am and you want to train with me?"
"Yes. I would love to learn from you. Maybe you can give me a few pointers."
"But you're skilled with your swordsmanship skills Erza."
"Alright I guess I'll give you a few pointers."
"Good."
"Can I watch you train Sonic?" Asuka asked.
"One day but sure." Sonic accepted.
"So how was your training today?" Bisca asked.
"It went well."
"So building up more of your powers yet?"
"Getting there so far."
"I can't wait to see you participate in the Grand Magic Games Sonic. I know you'll win for Fairy Tail." Asuka smiled.
"Yep. Just you wait and the other wizards are training as well too you know."
"That's right. We're going to take our spot back since we got Sonic with us." Alzack chuckled.
The group continue with their meals resuming back to their dinner. As an hour passed, Sonic, Erza, and Kenny stay for a bit to hang out with the Connell family before they take their departure back home. Sonic bid farewell to Asuka who didn't want Sonic to leave wanting him to stay for a little bit. The three exit the house waving to their friends and return back home. After minutes of walking back home, they reach to the destination. Sonic with the key opening the door, unlocks it and the three enter inside the house and shuts the door behind them and locks it.
"That was a delicious dinner. I enjoyed it." Kenny said.
"Yeah so did I but now time for this hedgehog to crash in for the night can you dig it." Sonic responded.
"Yeah I could use some shut eye after the day you and I had together."
"Boys. I'm a little tired to so I could use a nice rest." Erza agreed.
The three call it a night and they get ready for bed. Kenny got himself ready for bed and crash while Sonic and Erza get themselves ready for bed also. Sonic seen laying on the bed in blankets. Erza coming out of the bathroom turning off the bathroom lights and joins with her husband in bed getting in bed and snuggles with him.
"Good night Sonic." Erza said kisses Sonic on the cheek.
"Good night to you too my beautiful night." Sonic responded.
The couple shared a soft smooch on the lips and drifted off asleep for the night.
Meanwhile, In the Eastern Wastelands…
A blue figure at the top of the canyon looking at the view. The person appears to be a hedgehog but a robot, it had white streaks on its metal five quills. He has black curved shoulder plates, larger gauntlets and leg armor with pointy knee caps with white outlines, a plate covering his pelvis and elf-like shoes. It also has a spikey belt with a black cape that surrounds the back of its waist. This robot was none other than Neo Metal Sonic himself.
"Sonic and Darkness the Hedgehogs. You may have got rid of me Darkness but I will rule this world and I will kill you and even Sonic the Hedgehog himself. Sonic, I'm coming for you." Neo Metal Sonic determined.
