Sonic was all alone and had no clue what to do. He was just barely four years old and had just lost the only parent he knew,Longclaw. He didn't know how long he laid there crying himself to sleep, but he awoke with loud thunder and lighting around him.
A thunderstorm,he had to find shelter and nearby was a cave,luckly it was dry and seemed warm enough andd so he stayed there during the storm and thought quietly on what to do, he had never remembered being alone before,to fend for himself and now he had too. He was told to stay hidden no matter what and so hidden he would stay.
The next morning he managed to find some nuts and berries that were safe to eat.A creek nearby provided needed water to needs meet and things worked out, least till winter hit.
His frist winter on earth and he didn't like the cold,food was hard to find. He didn't want to venture out,but he did. And that was when he first found out about...
Humans
Humans had food, some that they wasted and just threw out, so he helped himself to the food. But winter also brought
His first illness and it was couldn't breath well, his throat hurt,his eyes were watery,he needed help but he was also told to stay away from the humans. The cave was cold so he risked it, he risked finding a storage shed to stay in.
The stoage shed belonged to a man named Carl, or as the town called him..Craazy Carl as he belived in ghosts, monsters and anything else out of place or strange. He went to open his stoage shed and...
"What the hey is this?" He poked Sonic with a medal pole.
Sonic groaned weakly and couched,he edged away and tried to run but only got a few feet before passing out
Carl eyes widen "What de heck...a blue hedgehog?" He poked him again and frowned, picking up Sonic and taking him inside,and called the vet.
Maddie answered the phone "Ok ok..Carl..Carl slow down what is it..look, ok not a joke ..ok let me see"There was a snow storm coming as she sighed "I can send Tom over with medicine."
Carl spoke"Fine fine and...maybe someone painted the poor thing"He didn't dare mention the burst of speed it seemed to have.
Tom brought over medicine and notes on what to do, but he diodn't step inside, so he didn't see the odd blue ball by the fireplace in a basket.
A couple weeks passed till Sonic got better enough to see where he had started to trust Carl but for now didn't liked the brooth and rolls he ate,he once eat pizza that fell near him.
Carl came home muttering "Crazy..Crazy i'll show them..."He notcies Sonic "Your awake..what to do with you."
"Let me...go?" Sonic said and quickly covers his mouth
Carl fell over the chair and onto his back before he looked at the small blue hedgehog"You spoke! Ya spoke"
Sonic wimpered and went to get to the door but he was still a little sick and his energy was very low.
Carl backed off, he took a deep called him crazy but he didn't like scareing anyone, even if it was a talking blue hedgehog."Hey, you still need to recover,and it's cold this winter..I won't hurt ya."He seemed to sinse Sonic was just a little kid."So get cozy"
Sonic got to know Carl over the next month and started to zip around the also ziped outside first chance he got"Ha ha ha ha"
Carl blinked "Get back here ya...ya.."Words formed "Blue devil!"
Sonic stayed out of sight and watched the human,this human was fun! But he also wanted to be careful."I gonna go back to my cave."But before he zipped off a "Bye-bye"
Sonic soon found out about Tom and Mattie and started spying, no watching them. He slowly learned more about them and they became his favorite humans, along with Carl. He didn't know that one day Tom and Mattie would be his family, or that Carl would again help him out.
Sonic zipped to a hut and knocked on the door.
Carl steped out and blinked "YOU!" He seemed surprised "Wait, why are you here, shouldnt ya be with Tom and his wife."
Sonic smiled "Yes but I never did thank you for saving me shortly after I came to earth and again when you distracted Eggman .And...I figured, we could be friends.I mean if ya rather not..thats fine."
Carl hmms "Friends huh..sure, sure kid. I even took down some traps, sides town knows about ya now." H even had a rare smile.
Sonic smiled too and waved as he zipped off to Tom and Maddies Home
To his Home
Sonic finmally had a family and friends and he would do all he could to protct them,and help them when needed.
