Chapter 1: Nothing, then Something
Sonic the Hedgehog has dealt with ridiculous things before. But this? This was on another level!
It all started on one bland day, when absolutely nothing interesting was happening. Sonic glanced at the news station that was on TV. The news was discussing the typical topics: Economy, lottery numbers, politics, car crashes, the typical bland stuff that is discussed every day.
"Tails, today is SOOOOOOO boring!"
"Sonic, it's only 8:30 in the morning, just wait for something to happen."
"Tails! I can't! You know me, I'm the fastest thing around, I can't wait around for anything!"
"Sometimes you have to be patient, Sonic. Now I'm going to my workshop, don't bother me unless it is an emergency."
Sonic groans as Tails leaves the room. He then slumps down on the couch and thinks of something to do. He thinks to himself; I wonder what others are doing. Maybe I should give them a call!
He runs over to the phone and proceeds to dial a number; This number belonged to Knuckles.
The phone rings once, rings twice, and then someone on the other end picks it up.
"Hey hey, is Knuckles there?"
An unknown feminine voice on the other end responds: "Hey there, pretty boy…"
Sonic immediately hangs up the phone to cease the awkward conversation. He suddenly remembered that Knuckles disconnected his phone number a few weeks ago because he got annoyed by Sonic's persistent calling. Maybe Amy is available?
He dials Amy's number. The phone rings once, rings twice, rings thrice, and Amy picks up the phone.
"Hello, my darling Sonic!" Amy answered on the other end.
"Uh, hey Amy! Just wondered if you were busy or something."
"Aw, I wish I weren't! My schedule is filled with menial tasks, and I can't make room for you."
"That's fine. Maybe some other time?"
"That's what is going to happen. Goodbye, my hero!"

It was probably for the best that Amy was busy. Sonic had one more number he could call, but this hedgehog was someone who would least likely want to do something with Sonic.
He dials the number. The phone rings once, rings twice, rings thrice, rings four times, rings five times. As Sonic expected the receiver of the call to not pick up, they do.
"Hey, hey, hey! Sonic here! Want to…"
"Shut your damn mouth, faker!"
*click*
As expected. Sonic knew that Shadow would not want to do anything with him, but there's always that slim chance that he might. With the small list of close friends exhausted, the last thing Sonic can do to entertain himself is to run outside. Endless possibilities await him out there.
The light breeze brushed his face as Sonic rushed outside to find the sky to be…overcast! Sonic was disappointed by this. "Why couldn't have been a clear day today," Sonic moped. But whatever, at least it wasn't…
A drop of water hits the hedgehog's nose. Then, the sky lets loose. A heavy downpour. "Great, rain! I hate rain! Now I have to stay inside on this bland day until it lets up."
Inside the house, he finds Tails tuned to the weather channel. "The sudden downpour that has begun over the Station Square area looks to be lasting at least three hours. We urge everyone to stay inside until it lets up," the weatherman states.
"This is just great Tails, first I'm bored, and now the world wants me to be bored!"
"It affects me as well, Sonic. I was going to fly the Tornado today, but you know how it doesn't fly well in stormy weather."
"Well, since we're stuck inside, want to do something?"
"I guess."
To pass the time, the two decide to play a game of chess (even though Sonic sucks at chess). Though not even five minutes in, the rain suddenly let's up.
"Got your queen, Sonic…Sonic?"
"The rain has stopped, can't you see."
"Strange. The weatherman said it wasn't going to let up for at least another three hours. Well, should we head outside?"
"YES!"
With Sonic's loud answer, the two head outside to see that it is still overcast, but at least it is not raining.
"Race you over to that hill, Tails!"
"But Sonic, what if it begins to…" Sonic was already halfway to a distant hill, and he wasn't going to wait for Tails. Tails sped on over to the hill, albeit at a slower speed than Sonic.
"Sonic!" A slightly annoyed Tails began, "What if it begins to rain again? Then you will get all wet! Uh, Sonic? Sonic? What are you looking at?"
Sonic was fixated on a hole in the clouds. Tails glanced up at it, and he noticed why. The hole was perfectly circular, as if something or someone artificially created it. Then, a strange object begins to descend from that hole. It was an incredibly large egg! Sonic and Tails gawked as the egg floated down and collided with the ground about a quarter mile away from where they were standing.
And, in the distance, a familiar egg-shaped craft carrying a familiar egg-shaped man was heading towards this mysterious large egg.
What do you think about the first chapter of my first fan fiction? Also, what's inside that large egg?
