Thanks much for the reviews so far ^_^ Makes me wanna keep writing more.
So, here goes!
And I'm POSITIVE that I do not own Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Cream, etc.
Chapter 2
"First day on the job, kid?"
"Yeah."
"Fine, here's your first assignment. Subject 47802-G. All you have to do is run a few simple tests." The older man handed some papers to the new worker.
"Okay boss." The younger man said. He started down the dimly lit hallway to his first task.
After a few minutes and a few false turns, he found it. Subject 47802-G.
"A blue hedgehog?! What's so odd about this? I mean, besides the blue color." The young man glanced at Sonic, who lay unmoving on his metal table.
A woman from the next subject over answered him. "He's highly advanced for an animal. He can talk, walk upright, and has been seen reaching speeds faster than sound can travel."
"Ah, I see." The man turned back to Sonic and said, "So, I hear your pretty impressive. You want to prove that to me?"
Sonic's eyelids slowly began to open. Above him, the blurred image of a human in a white laboratory coat came into view. The man was saying something, but Sonic couldn't make it out.
The man rolled his eyes and looked unimpressed. "Stupid animal," he grumbled. "Let's just get these tests over with, shall we?"
Sonic barely noticed the pain of the needles that shot through his body like lightning. These tests were performed each day. They were just like a routine.
The man prepared to give the hedgehog one last injection. Holding the needle steady, he lowered it towards Sonic's left arm.
"NO, STOP!" The woman yelled. She left her station and ran to the man. Sonic recognized her voice. He heard it many times before.
"This isn't the correct amount you're supposed to inject! A dose like this could kill the poor hedgehog. What were you thinking?!"
"Sorry, I guess I should have double checked my measurements."
"You better be sorry! Get another subject to screw up on, just leave this one alone." The woman shooed the man away and then gave a warm smile to Sonic.
"T-thank you, Dr. Cooper." Sonic choked out. His voice was almost a whisper.
"No problem at all." She replied happily. Dr. Cooper was around her early thirties, and had short, light brown hair. The doctor leaned in closer and whispered, "I have a plan to get you outta here! Wanna hear?" Sonic nodded.
"Well, I convinced the boss to let me come early and open up the laboratory tomorrow morning. There's also an airplane leaving tomorrow morning to take medical supplies to Avalon. I can easily get you out of the laboratory, and then all you have to do is hitch a ride on the plane departing from here!"
"But. what if you get caught? The security system-
Dr. Cooper cut him off. "So what if I get caught? There's a zillion other jobs in the world. Maybe none that pay as well, but if I get fired, so be it."

"Knuckles, did you see this letter?" Tikal held up an unopened letter that looked like new in it's neat, white envelope.
"What letter? I don't check to see if I have mail, you know." Knuckles responded harshly. Tikal opened the envelope and studied it for a moment.
"It's a wedding invitation. Cream and Tails wedding, to be exact." She read on and then announced, "Tails wants you to be his best man."
Knuckles mind wandered off Tikal's voice and onto the Master Emerald. He had to keep watch. Nothing could distract him. There were too many enemies, too many terrible things that could happen to the Emerald. Then it would be all his fault. He couldn't let generations of his family down.
Tikal stepped in front of Knuckles, blocking his view of the Emerald. "Won't you please listen to me? Tails wants you to be his best man. He's counting on YOU to come!"
"Get out of my way!" Knuckles growled. "I'm not going to any damn wedding. I'm staying here, where I belong." He swiped at Tikal with his fists. "This is my destiny! You don't know what it's like to sit here day and night, endlessly keeping watch over the Master Emerald!"
Tikal looked deep onto Knuckles amethyst eyes. "But I do know that you don't deserve this duty. You have friends that miss you, and someone that loves you dearly. That's why you're going." A small tear rolled down Knuckles cheek and fell to the ground. This was his opportunity to see Rouge again, there was no way he could resist.
"Okay, I'll go. IF you promise to guard the Emerald while I'm gone."
"You have my word, I'll protect it." Tikal answered. She disappeared in a sparkle of showers and returned to her glowing orb form.

"Soooo, whadda ya think? Lilies, or lilacs? And we can't forget the roses! Oh, but what color?!"
"I think Miles will be pleased with anything that you choose." Amy said, who was buried under boxes and bags of wedding supplies.
"Amy, I'm so nervous! It's less than a week now, and I want the wedding to be perfect!" Cream's face spread with worry. "What if the cake I ordered isn't big enough?!"
Amy sighed and set the packages down on the floor of the flower shop. "I know you're excited Cream, but give yourself a break for once. The wedding will be perfect, there's nothing to worry about!"
Cream ordered and paid for her flowers, then stood beside Amy. "I'm so excited because this is our big moment. I love Miles so much, and he loves me. When I think about spending the rest of my life with him, it gives me a mixed feeling of happiness and butterflies inside. I want to be with Miles, but what if I'm not ready?"
"You're ready Cream," Amy said reassuringly. "I know you're ready." A smile spread across her face.
"Hey you kids, you got your flowers, now get outta here!" The store clerk yelled, breaking the peaceful moment.
Amy and Cream giggled as they went out the door and were met with the bright blue sky and shining sun. Amy shielded her eyes from the suns glow and gazed up at the clouds.
Are you up there Sonic?

Chapter 2 is done! Now I'm starting to get the hang of this. Writers block, beware! Uh. and that is all!
And I'm POSITIVE that I do not own Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Cream, etc.
