Mission Impossible

Sonic was beginning to grow impatient as he sat in his seat. His left arm rested on the arm rest, holding his chin up as he watched the landscape go by. His right hand was strumming on the other arm rest. His rhythmically tapping was beginning to irritate Sally.

"Sonic, please stop that." Sally said, placing her hand over his, "It's getting on my nerves."

Sonic turned to look at her. "Sorry Sal, I just can't stay still for so long. I feel like yanking my quills out of my head."

Sonic took the chance to intertwine his fingers with hers while giving Sally his best puppy dog face.

"Oh, your impossible Sonic! What an I ever going to do with you?" Sally said, playfully squeezing his hand.

"Don't know Sal." Sonic replied.

Stealing a glance to make sure no one was looking, Sonic brought Sally's hand to his face and kissed the back of her hand. Not many people got the chance to witness Sonic's soft side, bit it was there, under his tough exterior.

Before Sally had the chance to react the plane began to shutter and jolt.

"Wa...What was that?!" cried out Mina in alarm.

"Everyone iz being calm. It was only ze pocket turbulenze, we are not being attack-ed." came Antoine's voice over the intercom.

Bunny then came over the intercom, " Sally, Elias. I need to talk to you two...in private."

Elias got out of his seat and walked toward the cockpit. Sally followed suit, resuming her serious business like demeanor. Sonic stared after them until they were behind closed doors. Paying particular attention to the way Sally's tail swayed as she walked. He then turned back toward the window to see that they were now over the ocean. The trip wouldn't take much longer.

"Hey Sonic?" Mina asked.

"Yeah Mina." Sonic answered as he turned around in his seat to face her, Amy, and Tails.

"I just wanted to know what the Floating Island is like."

"Well..." started Sonic, before being cut off by Tails who went on excitedly.

"It's paradise! The grass is the greenest green you have ever seen. It's got the most exotic looking flowers with super bright colors. The water is sooo clean and it tastes sooo good. The birds are always singing and everything smells sooo fresh. But the very best thing of all is that Robuttnik hasn't messed with the place yet." Tails finished excitedly.

"There you have it." Sonic said while scratching his head, "I can't think of anything better to say. But I do know that the minute you lay eyes on the place you'll never want to blink."

I just hope we'll have enough time to enjoy it all." Amy added.

"Remember Amy, we're here to plan some serious Robo-butt kicking business." Sonic said.

"Yeah!" Mina agreed, "That's definitely number one on my list."

At that moment Sally and Elias reentered the passenger area.

"Hey Sal, Elias, what was it that Bunny wanted?" Sonic asked.

Elias answered, "Now isn't the time to disclose it but everything will be made clear at the meeting."

"Yes," Sally added as she and Elias took their seats, "Right now we just have to focus on getting there."
