Sorry about not posting yesterday, slept in before work, and I honestly forgot to do it when I got home. Will try and be better about this in the future :)
Post Game 2: G.U.N.
Three years after Sonic's return
Sonic was taking the day to enjoy one of his favorite past-times.
Taking a nap.
Things were going well for the hedgehog since his little trip to the future. Tails and Tangle were getting along great, with Tangle joining in on training sessions. Speaking of, Tails was very eager to train with Sonic now that he had his illusions to master, and he was slowly starting to build up some strength and confidence.
They had just finished stopping one of Eggman's plans, so hopefully Silver's future was in good shape this time… hopefully.
Otherwise though, things were pretty normal, and Sonic was taking the time to enjoy the peace and quite.
"Faker…"
Until Shadow showed up that is.
"Oh, hey Shads!" Sonic said with a yawn as he got up from the ground.
"Rouge wanted me to get you for something, said it was important." Shadow explained.
"O…kay?" Sonic said, confused as to what was going on here.
"Let's go." Shadow said before he chaos controlled them out of there.
"Mmmmm. Pink was right, this place really does have great tea!" Rouge said as she took a sip of her tea. "I'll have to thank her the next time I see her." Rouge said.
The two girls were currently enjoying a nice cup of tea at a cafe that Amy had suggested to them, waiting for Shadow to show up with Sonic.
Eventually, a short flash of light signaled that they had arrived.
"I brought him." Shadow said, he then briefly glanced at Whisper to see that she was uncomfortable by his presence. "I'll leave you to it." He said before walking away.
"What was that about?" Sonic asked.
"Whisper here doesn't really like Shad too much. Don't know the details though." Rouge said. "May complicate things here a bit."
"I'm guessing this involves both of us?" Sonic asked.
"Yes, I have an offer for the two of you." Rouge explained.
'Wait… is this…?'
"So, the higher ups wanted me to ask the two of you if you would be interested in…"
"Nope, sorry, not joining G.U.N." Sonic said before taking a seat.
"Wow, you catch on quick." Rouge said.
"Quick is my thing, in case you've forgotten." Sonic said with a grin. "Seriously though, I appreciate the offer, but it's not something I'm interested in."
"Yeah, I figured as much." Rouge said. "What about you Whisper… I know you have issues with Shadow, but maybe we can work it out?"
"… I think I would like that…" Whisper said, though a little apprehensive about the whole thing.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to be uncomfortable about the whole thing." Rouge said.
"Meeting and becoming friends with Tangle taught me that sometimes, stepping out of my comfort zone can be a good thing." Whisper explained. "I am willing to try and work things out if it helps the planet."
"That's good to hear, welcome aboard!" Rouge said as the two shook hands.
"You know, I was thinking Rouge." Sonic said. "While I may not be interested in the offer, I know another hedgehog that might just be perfect for it."
"Who? Silver?" Rouge said.
"You really think that's a good idea? He's not exactly 'around' too much." Sonic asked. "I was talking about Amy."
"Pink? Why her?" Rouge asked.
"You saw how she was able to keep the resistance organized, and how she pretty much led the restoration, especially through that Metal Virus thing, right?" Sonic asked. "If you ask me, she would be perfect for the role."
"Well then… after a recommendation like that from you of all people, I have to bring it up to the higher ups." Rouge said. "I'll talk to them later today, and if all goes well, I'll talk to her in a couple of days."
"I want to be there, she might need just a bit of convincing." Sonic said.
"You really want her to do this huh?" Rouge asked.
"I only want the best for my friends, that is all." Sonic responded.
"Well then, I'll see you soon! Whisper, I'll keep in touch." Rouge said before flying off.
"So Whisper… you never DID tell me that one joke about the toaster!" Sonic said as the two enjoyed a nice conversation.
Three Days later
Sonic was running towards Amy's house to meet up with Rouge. Apparently the higher ups were really easy to convince once they found out that Sonic recommended her, so now it all was up to Amy.
So, here he was, about to arrive at Amy's house, with Rouge waiting nearby.
"Took you long enough." Rouge said as Sonic skid to a stop.
"I was on another continent with Tails, the Tornado's fast, but not as fast as me on foot." Sonic explained.
"Fair enough. I'll talk to her first, but if you feel like you should jump in at any point, go right ahead. Just remember that this is HER choice." Rouge explained.
"Yeah, I know."
"Good."
And with that, Rouge knocked on the door, and went inside when Amy answered.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Amy asked.
"Well, I wanted to extend an offer to you." Rouge says. "We wanted to know if you would be interested in joining G.U.N."
"What? Really? What about The Restoration? We still have to fix up the damages every time that Eggman causes trouble you know." Amy asked.
"I talked to the higher ups about it, and they said that we could consider a merger. It would allow for The Restoration to get funding for their work a lot easier since they will be working for the military." Rouge explained.
"Ok… I guess that makes sense… but why me? Wouldn't you much rather have Sonic or Tails?" Amy asked.
"Tails is still too young to join, and as for Sonic…" Rouge started.
"I actually recommended you." Sonic said from the window.
"Sonic?!" Amy said in surprise. "You… really did that?"
"Yeah, you seemed perfect for the role. Don't think I didn't notice all of the work you've been putting in lately." Sonic said. "It's your choice of course, but I think you should do it."
"… Alright, I think I'll do it." Amy said with a smile. "Rouge made a great point about the funding, and since Sonic's recommending me, that just makes me want to do it even more."
"Glad to hear it! We can discuss the details in a couple of days." Rouge says as she extended her hand. "Welcome aboard!"
As the two of them shook hands, Sonic watched with a smile.
'One down.'
End of Post Game Chapter 2
I mentioned this in the other story I started, but I am going to be updating my stories on a weekly basis on Saturdays until I feel ready to get the rest of the stories out. This is to make sure I have time to write and edit everything instead of just putting stuff up quickly as possible.
Anyways, I will see you all next time for… well, a surprise :)
