"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Sonic sat up so fast in bed it scared the person next to him, so badly that the poor kid fell out of his chair. Sonic gasped as he tried to figure out what happened, and where he was.
For some reason, his vision was still very blurry, disallowing him to see where exactly he was. He clawed at his body, afraid of what still might be there.
Rubbing the top of his head, he found that he no longer had hair, but spines! His vision was back enough to see the personalized underground room he had at Knothole Village. It also cleared enough to see the furry young two-tailed fox right next to him, who was still recovering from a fall.
"Sonic?" Tails' voice asked.
It took only a moment to register, but once it did, Sonic couldn't help himself. He grabbed that little fox and gave him the biggest hug Sonic ever gave anybody. No contest.
"Tails! It's really you! I'm back! I'm home!!" he cried, tears running down his cheeks from shear joy as he hugged and squeezed his furry friend.
Tails couldn't help it either. After almost a month of his best friend (and almost parent) being in a coma, Tails starting crying too, also from pure joy. "Sonic! I was so scared!!" Tails sobbed, remembering those lonely days against Dr. Robotnik with no friend that understood him like Sonic did.
Eventually, even though neither of then wanted to, Tails pulled away, and said, "Come on!" Tails had to stop to sniffle and wipe away tears with his arm, "Bunny's gotta have breakfast done by now!"
Sonic smiled. "You betcha, little buddy!"
Sonic probably had no clue how much Tails missed that.
Both of them raced to the main hall, used for conferences, war plans, and mealtimes, as well as a safe place to hang out. Tails was not only bubbling with joy at Sonic's return, but he was also screaming at the top of his lungs, "Sonic's back! Sonic's back!!" the whole way there.
By the time they had gotten to breakfast, all of Knothole Village was following behind, causing Bunny to complain that she had to quadruple the recipe size to make enough pancakes for everyone, but immediately quieted down when she saw Sonic, the Hero of Knothole Village, was back from his long sleep.
There were so many hellos to make and people to greet, Sonic didn't know where to start! He decided to find Sally and say a personal 'Hello' to her before anyone else, being as she was the princess and the cutest one around! However, as he looked for her, he got numerous handshakes and pats on the back (plus an especially hard one from Knuckles), but he could not find Sally anywhere.
Antoine, the French Fox General and Royal Guard of Princess Sally, (Sonic still thought that title was a little long for a coward) would probably know better than anyone else were Sally was, so Sonic tried to look for him. He didn't have to look long, though; To make himself seen, Antoine stood on a chair and cleared his throat for attention.
"Peeple of Knothole Village! I have a announcement to make!" he called through his amazingly thick French accent.
"Hey Ant!" Sonic called, relishing the annoyed look on Antoine's face as Sonic used his favorite nickname for the fox, "Where's Sally?"
"That would be Princess Zally, if you please."
"Okay. Where is Princess Zally?" Sonic said, mocking Antoine's accent, and causing several people to giggle. Tails included.
Antoine fumed, but kept his cool. "My announcement has boff good newz and bad newz. First! Zonic is back among us!"
Everyone cheered.
"Second! Ze bad newz."
Everyone held their breath, including Sonic. He was just praying it wasn't what he thought it was.
"Princess Zally has been kidnapped!!"
