Chapter 6: Day 5: Break-up and Comfort.

Aleena was just sitting on her bed one rainy night. Her and Sonic's plans had been delayed due to the rainfall today. She was just sitting on her bed thinking of what to do with Sonic next. He was currently on a date with Sally so she had plenty of time to think about it. Suddenly she heard an argument outside. She looked out her window and saw Sonic and Sally outside in the rain. They looked like they were bickering.

Then, Sally screamed so loud Aleena could hear her through the window, "I'M SO DONE WITH YOU, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG! WE'RE SO THROUGH!" Aleena then saw Sally run off while Sonic ran into the front of the castle and a few seconds later she heard her son's door slam. She sighed, got off her bed and walked to her son's bedroom door and opened it. Sonic was on his bed sobbing loudly. Aleena walked over and rubbed his back, causing Sonic to look up at her with teary eyes and a runny nose. He wailed and latched onto his mother's neck, crying uncontrollably.

Aleena gently hugged her son back and stroked his quills softly, "What's wrong, honey?" she asked her saddened son.

Sonic sniffed and looked at her, "S-Sally broke up with me!" he cried and slammed his face back into his mother's shoulder, once again sobbing uncontrollably.

Aleena resumed stroking his quills, "Why?" she asked.

"I was checking my phone for any texts my friends or you or Sonia or Manic may have sent me, but she thought I was looking for texts from another girl. I tried to explain, but she wouldn't listen. And then we started arguing." Sonic then started crying into his mother's shoulder again while she stroked his back softly trying to comfort him. Aleena was a little peeved at the fact that Sally acted toward her son that way, especially after all he had done for her. Then again, to be perfectly honest, she had at times thought Sally was a little bratty.

Then, she suddenly had an idea, "Sonic, why don't you take this as an opportunity to ask that Amy woman out?"

Sonic then stopped sobbing and looked at his mom with a wide smile on his face, "YEAH! THANKS, MOM, YOU'RE SO AWESOME!" he yelled in happiness, hugging Aleena tight around her neck.

Aleena smiled, happy that she was able to help her son through such a tough time in his love life, and returned the embrace, "No problem, Sonic." she said.

Sonic then put his raincoat on, "Well, I'm on my way to ask out Amy. I'll be back later, Mom." he said. "OK, Sonic. Good luck." said Aleena as her son headed out to make his way to the apartment Amy lived at. Aleena then went back to her room and laid back down on her bed with hope that Sonic would get with Amy. An hour later, Sonic came back with a huge grin on his face. He went into his mom's room where she was currently napping.

He then walked to the side of her bed and gently shook her, "Mom, Mom, wake up." he said.

Aleena slowly opened her eyes and yawned before she looked over at her son, "What is it, Sonic? How'd it go?" she asked the grinning hedgehog.

Sonic said, "I asked Amy out after I told her that I broke up with Sally, and guess what? She said yes!" Sonic said with definite excitement in his voice.

Aleena shot up with a wide grin like Sonic's on her face and hugged her son tight around the neck, "Sonic, that's great! I'm so proud of you!" she said.

Sonic smiled and hugged his mother back, "I owe it all to you, Mom. You gave me the idea and encouragement to ask her out. I don't know what I'd do without a mother like you. You're the greatest mom a son could ever ask for."

Aleena was touched by his words, "Thanks, Sonic." she said.

"You're welcome, Mom." said Sonic. Friday night was when Sonic and Amy went out on their first date. When Sonic got back home, he found Aleena sitting in the living room, reading a book.

She noticed Sonic come in and looked up from her book, "Hey, Sonic, how was your date with Amy?" she asked him.

Sonic smiled and winked and gave her a thumbs-up, "It went awesome, Mom. Amy said she had an amazing time and she also told me she'd love to date with me again next Saturday. She also gave me a kiss on the nose for the flowers I gave her."

Aleena laughed, "Sonic, you're such a gentleman sometimes."

Sonic smiled confidently, "Yeah, I know." he said.
