Chapter 2: Day 1: The Most Amazing Thing a Son Will Ever Do For A Mother.

Sonic was thinking about what he and his mom could do first while he was napping. Then he felt his mom tapping his shoulder and he woke up, seeing his mother in a cobalt blue two-piece swimsuit.

"Whatcha wearin' that for, Mom?" asked Sonic.

"I decided that we could go to the beach for our first time together." said Aleena while smiling. Sonic then started feeling nervous, the purple, long-haired hedgehog could tell. So she decided to comfort him.

"I'll teach you how to swim, so don't worry." said Aleena.

"No thanks, Mom, getting a tan is good enough for me."

Aleena gave a sly smirk. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am as sure and positive as I'll ever be." said Sonic.

"Well, OK." said Aleena, "How do you wanna get there? We can take the car or we can—WOAH!"

Sonic had picked his mother up bridal style and started running to the beach. They were both pretty excited about today.

"WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Aleena as she felt the wind in her hair. Soon they arrived at the beach and set everything up.

"Sonic, I'm gonna go for a swim while you get a tan, okay?" said Aleena after they put on sunscreen.

"Okey-dokey, Mom." said Sonic. Aleena then ran and jumped into the ocean while Sonic laid back and relaxed to get himself a suntan. After a couple of hours, Aleena came back to shore and she and Sonic went to get lunch then came back to the beach. Aleena tanned with Sonic for a little while before she went back into the water. After an hour or two, the waves started getting a little bigger. Sonic was watching his mom to make sure she was all right. Aleena was swimming back to shore, but she failed to notice a big wave behind her. Sonic noticed in horror as it took her under and she didn't come back up to the surface.

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" Sonic screamed in terror. He ran toward the water and did something no one ever thought he would do. He dove in and swam. Sonic swam underwater and saw his mom unconscious with her feet caught in seaweed. Sonic swam to her and pulled and pulled until her feet came free. He then swam back to the surface and to the shore with his mother over his shoulder. He laid her down on the towel he had laid out before and began pressing down on his mother's stomach.

"Mom! Please wake up!" Sonic begged with tears pouring out of his eyes. He kept pumping Aleena's belly for a little bit longer before he started breaking down in tears.

"Mom, I'm so sorry. This day was just perfect and now it's ruined." He then slammed his fist into the sand, sobbing. Suddenly, Aleena began coughing until she coughed up water. She looked to see a crying Sonic near her in the sand.

She sat up, "Sonic." she said worriedly.

Sonic looked up and his eyes widened in happiness and surprise, "MOM!" he yelled in happiness as he launched himself at her and gave her a bone-crushing hug, sobbing into her shoulder. Aleena hugged her son back and started stroking his quills.

"What happened to me, Sonic?" asked the purple hedgehog as Sonic calmed down and they released.

"You got swept underwater by a huge wave and didn't come back up, but I saved you."

Aleena was surprised and curious. "Sonic The Hedgehog, did you swim to save me?" asked Aleena.

"Yep, and even better, I'm not afraid of water anymore." said Sonic. "So, ya wanna go for a swim, Mom?" he asked. Aleena couldn't believe what she just heard, her son who was afraid of water conquered his fear just for her to save her from drowning. Tears of joy came to her eyes and her lip started quivering.

"Hey, Mom, what's the matt—WAH!" said Sonic as his mom gave him the tightest hug he had ever gotten.

"SONIC, YOU ARE THE BEST SON A MOTHER HEDGEHOG COULD EVER HOPE TO ASK FOR! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, MY LITTLE GUARDIAN ANGEL!" sobbed Aleena as tears of joy ran down her cheeks. Sonic started crying tears of joy as well as he hugged his mother back tightly.

"I don't wanna lose you, Mom." said Sonic.

"Don't worry, Sonic, you won't." said Aleena. The two stayed locked in each other's arms a little bit longer before releasing and going for a swim and surfing on the same board. Soon they decided to head home.

"Sonic, thanks SO much for saving my life. I owe you a debt of gratitude I could never repay!" praised Aleena as she and Sonic arrived back at the castle.

Sonic blushed, "Aw, Mom, it was nothing." he said. Aleena smiled and kissed his forehead. Sonic smiled back and kissed her cheek. Today had been a big day for them both. Sonic saved his mother from drowning and conquered his fear of water. Words could not describe how proud they both were of Sonic.
