Chapter 25

One Problem Always Equals Another

Sonic was pacing in his bedroom. He knew that in two more nights it would be a full moon and he would have to leave his home, again. It pained his soul and heart to not be able to tell anyone else the truth. He stopped and looked out his window at the evening sun. He sighed and turned to his door.

"A small run can maybe get rid of these thoughts," Sonic said.

He zipped out his bedroom, down the hallway and out the front door. Sonic ran through the streets of new Mobotropolis. The wind blowing on his quills making him feel like he was himself again. Freedom always helped him clear his mind of haunting thoughts that clung to his mind.

Sonic was running so fast he didn't notice he was heading for someone on the street. He ran right into Amy; who just came back from an announcement from Castle Acorn. Amy fell over onto her backside and the same happened to Sonic. He saw he ran into Amy and helped her up.

"Sorry, Amy, I was going so fast I didn't see you there," Sonic said.

Amy got off her backside and accepted Sonic's hand.

"That's okay, Sonic. Where have you been?" Amy asked.

"What do you mean? I've been at home," Sonic said. "What were you doing?"

"Well, we were all meant to go to Castle Acorn for the announcement that King Max had for us," Amy explained.

"What was it?" Sonic asked.

"Don't you remember?" Amy asked.

Sonic shook his head at her question. Amy looked at Sonic in shock.

"It was about Sally's birthday dance party," Amy told Sonic.

Sonic slapped a hand on his forehead.

"Sally's birthday. I forgot. Nice, I'm meant to be her boyfriend and I forgot her birthday. What day is it on?" Sonic said to himself.

Amy watched as Sonic counted the days on his fingers.

"Let's see, today's … and her birthday will be … that means it will be in … TWO DAYS TIME!" Sonic exclaimed.

"What's wrong, Sonic?" Amy asked.

"Nothing, Amy. I …err … gotta go, see ya," Sonic said as he zoomed off.

Amy's quills blew in the wind he left behind him. Sonic ran around Mobotropolis until he arrived at his house and ran into his room. He ran over to a calendar and looked over the week. Sonic bit his bottom lip when he saw when Sally's birthday was. It was in two days, time. The exact same day as the first full moon was on. Sonic collapsed on his bed and groaned.

"Sonic, are you alright?" Bernadette called.

"Fine!" Sonic called back.

Sonic face-palmed his face in his hand.

"What am I gonna do? I can't not go and let Sally go to her own birthday dance without someone to dance with, who; she actually wants to dance with. And then I can go and change there and everyone will … hate me," Sonic explained to himself.

Sonic sat up on his bed and thought of a plan. A sudden plan hit his brain and he thought it was great.

"I could stay there until the sun sets and leave once its set. I can dance with Sally until the sun sets and then leave. Easy as a piece of cake unless it is more difficult than planned," Sonic said.

Sonic continued thinking extra parts into his plan until he went to the kitchen for dinner. He lay in bed that night, thinking of how his plan will work out in the end. He hadn't realised that Sally's birthday was coming soon. He was too pre-occupied with his werewolf curse. But he knew one thing, he couldn't transform in front of all those Mobians or else he would be in big trouble.

Yeah, I know, pretty boring chapter. Unless you're all questioning yourselves saying wonder what will happen at the dance? Will Sonic transform there or not? Better find out next chap. R&R for the next chapter to come sooner and see ya next chap.

VFMH OUT!
