Author's note: You'd think, of all people, I wouldn't forget to make some Sonic stories. Well, here's a new one.
About Blaze: Blaze the Cat is NOT a fan character. She is the new character who will be introduced in the upcoming DS game, Sonic Rush. I do not know exactly what she is like ('course, who does?), but it can't hurt to take some creative liberties.

Chapter 1: Hello
-
The whole story began in a meadow west of Emerald Town. Sonic was going for a jog along the river, when he tripped over something and hit the ground face-first.
Sonic got up, and turned to look for what he had tripped over. He saw a young female cat who seemed to be in some sort of trance.
"Hello," Sonic said, approaching the cat.
She woke with a start. "ACK! Who- what- oh, hello. Please don't startle me like that. You nearly stopped my heart. Allow me to introduce myself. My name's Blaze, Blaze the Cat."
"Pleased to meet you, Blaze," Sonic responded. "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog. You should pay more attention to what you're doing; I think I just tripped over your tail."
"It's not my fault I don't notice what's going around me when I'm focusing my Gold Magic energy," Blaze shot back. "Besides, you're not the first one to trip that way."
Sonic blinked. "Wait. What was that part about the gold something-or-other?"
"Gold Magic?"
"Yeah, that's right. I figured by the way you were dressed that you were some kind of mage, but what is this Gold Magic stuff?"
"Allow me to explain. I can harness the power of Gold Rings to utilize certain magical abilities. My mother says it's in my blood. I'll give you a demonstration if you can spare five rings."
With a shrug, Sonic handed some rings over. Blaze counted them to make sure there were indeed five, then clutched them in her hand and concentrated her thoughts.
Blaze used her free hand to hold Sonic's as she closed her eyes and concentrated even more deeply. Finally, she stopped. She opened the hand she was holding the rings in; they were gone.
This left Sonic a little confused. "Uh … Blaze? What exactly did you do?"
"I used some Gold Magic to read your mind," Blaze explained. "You love to hang out at Emerald Beach east of here, your best friend is a fox, and you had a chili dog with extra onions for lunch."
Sonic was amazed. "You learned all that just by using this Gold Magic stuff?"
"Actually, no. I learned that last part by smelling your breath. You have a severe case of halitosis going on."
"Right. Sorry about that."
"No harm done, just forget about it. You look kind of bruised from how you tripped. There's no way you could've gotten that beaten up by just tripping over my tail unless you were going at … at …"
"Something over a hundred miles an hour, maybe two. I don't keep track myself, either. Sometimes I wish hedgehogs had speedometers."
Blaze nearly jumped. "A speed like that? I don't believe you."
"Fine," Sonic snapped. "I'll prove it to you." He grabbed Blaze's wrist and started to run. He quickly accelerated to higher and higher speeds, not slowing down for anything.
Then, Blaze slipped from Sonic's grasp.
Sonic noticed Blaze's absence immediately, and screeched to a halt. The momentum had sent Blaze tumbling head over heels over head, even getting poked in the eye by her own tail a few times.
THUD! Blaze crashed into a tree. Sonic immediately rushed over and retrieved her. "Blaze! Blaze, are you all right?"
"Ugh … that hurt. Can you give me another three rings so I can heal myself"
He did, and she did, displaying her Gold Magic abilities once more. "Ah, that's much better. Sonic, hold on to me more tightly from now on, okay there?"
Sonic nodded. "Maybe I should reduce my speed a little, too. It's dangerous trucking you along at a high speed like I was doing there." They proceeded to Emerald Town.

That's all for now. Expect more later. Maybe.
