A/N: Ok guys this is a shorter chapter, but I wanted to add a little more character emotion in here ^_^ because I'm a sap for emotion XD The next chapter is longer and has ACTION! YAY! And I'm almost finished writing it.
Snacks are on me! ^_^ I've locked Sonic out of the room so there are plenty to go around this time XD
Enjoy!

"Do you think I try too hard, Unc?" Sonic asked as he strummed a few cords on his guitar.
"Hmm? What's that Sonny?"
Sonic looked up from his guitar and glanced over at his robotic family member. Sir Charles was busy hacking away at Robotnik's 'secret' computer files. The teenage hedgehog sighed. "I said 'do you think I try too hard...?'"
"At what Sonic?" Chuck answered without looking up from his computer.
Sonic narrowed his eyes in annoyance. His uncle obviously hadn't been listening. "With Sally, Unc..."
At the sound of the princess' name, the robian let out a slight chuckle and whirled around in his computer chair to face his nephew. Sonic had come to his secret hideout every day that week to talk to him. Each day it was a new problem the young hedgehog turned to his adult guardian for advice on. Today's subject was obviously the princess.
Though Sonic feared he was under too much stress, his uncle tried to assure him that the young hedgehog was merely thinking too hard. "Sonny, what you need is a nap. Relaxing just a little would help solve your paranoia. As for the princess, Sally knows what she wants and like it or not, her mind won't easily be manipulated by you or anyone else. She has a strong head on her shoulders, Sonic."
"Yeah, not to mention a stubborn one..." Sonic rolled his eyes.
"Now, now Sonic," Chuck said as he stood up from his chair. "Just let Sally figure out what she wants before you go confusing her."
"I don't confuse," Sonic smirked, "I annoy."
Chuck rolled his eyes in amusement and walked over to his nephew. "Well enough of that. Tell me, how is our guest doing?" The robotic hedgehog took a seat next to Sonic on the old beat up couch the teenage was sitting on.
Sonic shrugged again and started to fiddle with his guitar strings. "April's cool. Tails likes her. He's talked to her more than me though. We really haven't had time to talk. I've all been busy ya know?"
Chuck nodded. "Well I suggest you do like young Miles and find time to talk because we still have to find out why she's here. She all recovered from the other night you told me about?"
"Yeah she's fine now. She's helping set up for the revelry."
"Well that should be interesting. Have you and Sally been practicing?"
"Yeah... well kinda. It's hard to get Sally to stop working and practice with me. I mean don't get me wrong, I know she's busy and all, but she said she wanted to do this for a stress relief. Though it kinda seems like it's now adding to her stress," Sonic sighed and set his guitar down, propping it up against the side of the couch. "We haven't practiced enough so I guess we'll just have to wing it tonight."
"I'm sure you both will do fine. You certainly have gotten better with that thing," Chuck gestured to the guitar, "And the princess has a beautiful voice."
"Yeah beautiful voice, but absolutely no confidence in herself. She can give these great speeches in front of the whole village, but keeps telling me she'll be too nervous to sing. If she would practice with me more-"
Chuck stopped his nephew before Sonic went into another rant. "Sonic...patience."
The teenager muttered something along the lines of "patience is for slow-moes" under his breath and folded his arms across his chest. Chuck rolled his eyes again and placed his metallic hand on the young hedgehog's shoulder.
"Listen Sonny, we both have a lot of work to do. Why don't you head back to Knothole and help out?" Chuck suggested as he rose to his feet.
Sonic stood up as well. "Yeah...ok."
The two embraced before Sonic picked up his guitar and headed for the exit of the shelter. He turned around to face his uncle one more time. "Unc?"
"Yeah Sonic?"
"Are you... you sure you don't want to come tonight?" Sonic asked with a pleading look on his face.
Chuck sighed. It was getting harder and harder to say no to his nephew. But he knew it was out of the question. "That's alright Sonic, I have a few things here I need to finish."
Sonic bit his lower lip and looked down at the floor. He wondered to himself why he continued to ask the question when he knew the answer. Sonic revved up his feet. "Yeah...I understand. Bye Unc," said the teenager before he disappeared out the shelter door in a blue blur.
"I wish I did, Sonny. I really do," Sir Charles whispered to himself as he watched his nephew leave.

A/N: so whatcha think? Did I keep Sonic in character? It's hard because SatAM Sonic is just a mix of all the different Sonics. He's not a total loner like in Sonic X, but he doesn't like company all the time like AoStH Sonic. And he doesn't rely on his humor all the time like in SU. And in SatAM he tends to show a bit more of his softer side. That's what I like about him in that cartoon. You never really know what to expect from him.
Ok time to answer my reviews ^_^
Anthony Bault - cut it out with the shameless plugs already! XD hehehe

RedFox - Thanks ^^ dialog is what I try to specialize at. If not detail. Yes I realize Bunnie and Ant were a couple in Archie (for I've been collecting the comic book since I was 6 or 7 XD) and yes the writers shall pay if those two don't get back together -_- *fumes* they were so my favorite coupling next to Sonic and Sal!
