Chapter 4: I am SO leaving

Knuckles was going on his way to find Sonic and Tails. But gravity pulled him to the ground. But unlike Sonic, he was not afraid of Sonic. In fact, why would Knuckles be afraid? If he was, he wouldn't be guarding the Emerald Island by now. And even if he was, he wouldn't fly all that way.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Tails went to a cafeteria. Tails drank a cup of coffee to wake him up. But too much and he'd be super hyper. Super Hyper Tails perhaps. Sonic had coffee as well, but he had sugar inside it unlike Tails. A sugar cube if you want me to be so specific. Now THAT could be a bit of a problem. Lots of sugar and caffeine… and Sonic would go super duper hyper.

Suddenly, Knuckles flew down to Sonic's apartment. But the bad thing was, he wasn't there.

Why would he not be here? And why is the Tornado stuck on the apartment? Knuckles wondered as his mind asked questions.

"Hey! He's the one that broke our home!" A person shouted as Knuckles faced to him. He had a tattoo on his arms.

"LET'S GET HIM!" A girl about 10 years old yelled back as everyone followed Knuckles, who started running away. He wasn't as fast as Sonic was, but at least strong enough. However, those people held bats, so Knuckles had to run.

As the red echidna ran past the cafeteria, Sonic and Tails sighed and paid the café' owner. They went outside to see Knuckles being chased, so Sonic grabbed Tails' hand and ran like the wind. He caught Knuckles along the way as well and dashed to as fast as he could away from those people.

"Hey, where'd he go?" One woman wondered as she held a broom to whack a red echidna with.

The trio stopped and looked behind to see that they lost them. Sonic grinned and gave two thumbs up.

"Sonic… you FRAMED ME!" Knuckles yelled and tried beating up Sonic. But the blue hedgehog dodged by just moving his face.

"Yeah, I know! But hey, what can we do? Besides, they'd forget it after days later…" Sonic consoled Knuckles happily.

-90 years later…-

Knuckles the Echidna's funeral…

"Wait… KNUCKLES? That punk that destroyed our apartment?" An old man with a tattoo on his arms shouted.

-Back in the present-

"Well, enough gabbing out of us. Let's find Amy." Tails sighed and the trio continued strolling to Amy's resort. But it was pretty easy thanks to Sonic's speed. But along the way, Sonic's hand slipped by accident and that left Tails behind.

"SONIC! First the tornado… and now THIS! How much mess can you bring me to?" Tails complained and followed as fast as he could. Unfortunately, Sonic just ran off faster than the young fox was, who was getting tired.

Five minutes later…

Sonic and Knuckles arrived at Amy's resort. She was there, but she was tired from whatever she was doing now. Sonic and Knuckles shrugged and moved to her. But then went outside.

"Hey Tails! Uh… you better get your bags now! Get yourself ready and… uh… stop swimming…" Sonic called, but no response.

"Tails? Tails? TAILS?"

Still no response.

Still none.

Knuckles stared at Sonic.

"What?" Sonic muttered as Knuckles shook his head.

"You are the stupidest hedgehog I have ever seen. You probably left Tails." Knuckles mumbled.

"I LEFT Tails? What do you mean? I was holding his right hand!" Sonic cocked one eyebrow and replied.

Knuckles slapped his forehead.

"Your stupidness makes you anything but normal." He whined.

Tails tumbled to the resort. He was seen as if his tails weren't going to work anymore.

"Yo Tails! Which hand did I carry you with?" Sonic asked.

"You carried me with your RIGHT HAND! My god!" Tails complained and went to the water to wash his hands.

Amy suddenly woke up.

"Sonic!" She called out loud, which made the blue hedgehog jump.

"What? Oh."

Amy hugged Sonic as if he was going to choke.

"'Nuff, Amy… I need air." Sonic gasped as Amy let go.

Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles ate some food Amy had in the resort. For a few hours, they could at least take a break and relax and help their stress…
