I got the idea for this story whilst reading another fic. The ending was a
bit crap so I decided to do a similar story and hope that it turned out better.
Oh yeah, and this is a SU/SatAM story, so if you don't like it, don't bother

Chapter 2- Knothole
Inside the van, Sonia and Manic were getting ready to go to bed. Manic
kept glancing out of the window, as if expecting his brother to come back
in at any minute. Sonia was still sour from the argument and still believed
that it was Sonic who was in the wrong and not her.
"Sis, it's getting dark, do you think he's ok?" he asked worriedly. His
sister just snorted and continued to brush her hair and level off her face-
pack. Manic just continued to gaze out of the window...
Sonic was alright. He had made it back to Robotroplis and was camping
out at his uncle's old hideout. Many had thought he had been roboticized,
but he had in fact escaped to a place called Knothole village. That was
where Sonic was going to go. Tomorrow he would leave early, around
5am, and find this place. His uncle Chuck had told him that it was
somewhere in the Great Forest, and was a great hideout for a large band of
freedom fighters. He was snoozing in his old room, in his own bed.
Nothing in there had been touched. It was like it hadn't been exposed to
the SWATbots at all. The rest of the hideout had been ransacked though,
and was hardly recognizable.
The next morning he woke up and stretched out. He opened his eyes and
grinned to himself. He was away from her. Sonia had been a thorn in his
side since they had first met. They hated each other. Manic was always
stuck in the middle of their arguments. He didn't mind Manic, but he
always seemed to side with Sonia, and never with him. He shivered and
looked at his watch. 4:47 am. It was freezing in the hideout, there wasn't
the usual warm feeling to it, just a cold, empty shell of the home it had
once been to him. He pulled on his sneakers and his gloves, still shivering.
Next, he felt hungry. But there was no food in the place that wasn't either
rotting or gone. The blue hedgehog sighed. He would have to go without
food until he found Knothole.
He pricked up his ears to hear a faint scream. A girl, he supposed, since
boys couldn't yell like that. There was a choice he could make. He could
either go to Knothole and get something to eat, or he could go and see who
was in trouble and, if need be, rescue them. Since he was the kind and
helping hedgehog he was, he raced off to the source of the noise. After a
few minutes of searching, he found the trouble. A female Squirrel was
being dragged off by a SWATbot patrol. And she wasn't going quietly
either.
"Let me go you metal rust buckets!" she yelled. Sonic leapt from his
hiding place behind a trash pile and went into a spindash. Two of the four
robots were wrecked and the remaining two started to shoot at the speedy
hedgehog, releasing the girl. She quickly pulled out a small laser pistol and
made short work of the SWATbots. She smiled and put her pistol away.
Then, she ran off, motioning for Sonic to follow her. He did so, racing up
to her, catching up in less than few seconds. They ran out of the city
together, and hid in the border between Robotroplis and the Great Forest.
"Thanks for what you did back there." She smiled. "I've never seen
anything like that before. I'm Sally Acorn, leader of the Knothole freedom
fighters, and you are...?" she asked, extending a dainty brown paw. Sonic
took a hold of it and shook it warmly.
"Er...my names...Alex! Yeah, Alex, s'nice to meet you miss Acorn." He
smiled. Sally smiled back, but it faded from her face as she saw a red stain
on her rescuer's leg.
"You're bleeding." She whispered. Sonic glanced down at his thigh and
winced a little. "I'd better take you to the doctor in our village, he can
patch you up, I'm sure." Sally added. "Providing you want to go." Sonic
looked up and smiled. He would go anywhere she asked him.
"Whatever." Was all he said. Sally helped him up and they wandered off,
deeper into the forest.
Manic woke up with a jolt. He scrambled to look whether his brother was
back yet. There was no sign of him anywhere. Manic shoved his shoes
and jacket on and opened the door to the van. He wasn't anywhere to be
seen. He shuffled around a bit, calling his brother's name, until he heard a
hollow 'thud' as his shoe hit something metal. Manic cleared the sand
away from the spot and his eyes grew wide.
"SONIA, HEY SIS WAKE UP!" he yelled, running back into the van.
Sonia yawned and started to peel off her face mask.
"He's gone sis! I found this outside!" Manic wailed, holding up the guitar
shaped medallion. Sonia looked at it and shrugged.
"He's gone." She summed up. "So what. All he did was mess things up
Manic, you know that. He's not important to us anymore." She started to
brush her hair into its usual style. Manic sighed. There was no way he
could argue against her. Sonic he could argue against, but not his sister.
He wandered over to the seats at the front of the car and started the
engine. Today they were heading to Barttleby's summer home, where they
would spend a week relaxing.
During this, Sonic and Sally had made it to Knothole. They had both
shared their life stories with each other, and were now just entering the
village. Sonic looked around him in amazement. There were dozens of
mobians here. Sally walked him over towards a large hut, with 'Knothole
Medical' painted above the door. He was ushered into a waiting room and
was sat down on a white bed. A duck walked into the room. Ironically his
nameplate showed the name 'Dr. Quack' on it in golden writing. Sonic
nearly laughed out loud. This place was great. After a few minutes, he and
Sally left the building.
"Now, where will you sleep?" Sally mumbled to herself. "You don't mind
sharing a hut with me tonight do you?" she asked. Sonic shook his head,
his eyes dancing with excitement. Sally laughed.
"Come on, lets show you around." She smiled. They spent the rest of the
day going around Knothole and meeting people. Eventually, the two made
their way to the dinner hall, where everyone was seated, eating the food
that had been prepared. They sat down, and a hand grabbed Sonic's
shoulder roughly, turning him around. It was a skunk.
"Hey, kid. You keep ya paws of my Sally, gotit? " he snarled.
"Geoffrey! Leave him alone." Sally exclaimed. As the skunk turned
away, she added. "And I'm not your girl anyway." Geoffrey heard this and
stomped off angrily. Sonic stood there shocked.
"Is he...he your..." he stuttered. Sally sighed.
"No, I don't even like him. In fact, I go for the strong heroic type. You
know, who helps the damsel in distress kind." Sally said innocently.
"Huh?" Sonic whimpered. Sally smiled and batted her eyelids at him.
*Gods, whats happening to me? I've never felt like this before. Man, she's
pretty. I feel all weak and...weird. Is this what love feels like? Cause if it
is, then I like it.* Sonic thought dreamily. Her sapphire eyes shone, and it
was making him feel dizzy. Over the other side of the room, Geoffrey
watched as the two chatted with each other. He turned his back on them,
and concentrated on his meal. He had to get the hedgehog out of the
village somehow. Or at least break up his and Sally's relationship. He
watched as, an hour later, the young couple left the room, and made their
way over to her hut. Sally opened her hut, which was smaller than the
other huts Sonic had been in. It had two beds, both in the same room. One
on each side of the small room. They both settled down, and tried to get to
sleep. Sonic couldn't keep his eyes off her. She was lying on her back, and
he could see the shape of her body through the thin covers. He felt a tingling
feeling through his body. He shook his head sharply.
*No, don't think like that.* he thought, anxiously glancing over
at the sleeping girl next to him. He rolled over onto his side, closed his
eyes and fell fast asleep.
Manic and Sonia were relaxing at the huge stately seaside home that
belonged to Bartleby. The two hedgehogs were lazing by the pool, Sonia
working on her tan and Manic working on a small bug-like object. A
swash, uptight looking mobian strutted out of the huge mansion beside the
pool. He was followed by several servants, also posh and uptight looking.
Manic had been upset ever since his brother had left. It had been three months
now since he had last been seen. Most of the Freedom Fighters
presumed that he was dead. And since Sonic was using a fake name, it
didn't help the matters one bit. Manic looked over at his sister. She looked pretty
in the cool sunset light. He sighed.
*Well, she'll be happy enough here I s'pose. She's got Bartleby to look
after her in any case. See ya sis. I'm going to find my brother.* he
thought. He crept over to her deck chair and picked up the small guitar
medallion off the desk next to her. He slipped it into his pocket and, after
a moments hesitation, crept towards the van. He looked back at his sister
when he had started up the engine. He had to find Sonic. He didn't believe
that he was dead. He couldn't be. So, after a few seconds of quiet mourning
for his brother, he juiced the van out of the gates, and towards Robotropolis.
MINE, ALL MINE! Anyone using him without permission will be fried and put
on a sandwich.
