Chapter 3: Home Sickness to Embarrassment

It has been several months since I had met the hedgehogs. We all were united in the cause to ruin Robotnik. We were doing all sorts of things that were slowly doing that.

Rescuing citizens from being Roboticized. They were so grateful that they were practically worshipping us. It took us a while before we got them off of our backs but we did.

We destroyed several of his Swatbots. We used a lot of the spare parts from them to fortify our machines.

We have been everywhere, doing good. Everywhere except Holoska. I'm personally not normally a home sickness kind of guy, but times have changed for me. I was so worried for everyone in my village. Were they managing without me? Was everybody safe?

There was absolutely no way to know that without going there.

We were in the van, on our way to Sanctuary to pay the kids a visit. Sonic, Manic and Sonia were in great moods. They always love to see the children. I wasn't in a great mood. It's not that I didn't want to see the children. No, I love seeing the children as much as the hedgehogs. It's the fact that I was so home sick that it hurt.

Sonia must have noticed how down I looked because she was the first to try and comfort. "What's the matter Snow? Why aren't you happy?" she asked.

I sighed. "It's nothing. Can you please leave me alone?"

Sonia unbuckled her seatbelt and then sat down next to me. "It isn't nothing. What's wrong Snow?"

I was on the verge of tears. "Please, just leave me alone."

Sonia shook her head. "No. I'm not leaving you alone until you tell me what's wrong."

" Fine! You want to know what's wrong? I miss my home! I just wish I could just go home!" I yelled, before bursting into tears.

Sonia's expression changed from curiosity to guilt. " I'm sorry. I should have left you alone." She said.

" I-its ok." I said between sobs. I took a deep breathe. "I just want to go home." I said, stopping my sobbing.

"I understand. You have been gone from your home for several months. If I was in that situation, I would be home sick to." Sonia said.

I just nodded and then Sonia went back to her seat. Nothing was said for the longest time. The silence was broken by Manic. "What was that about?" he asked.

I was still silent. "Snow is homesick." Sonia said, answering for me.

" Oh! And I thought he was upset that you wouldn't let him take you to the place he wanted for your next date." Manic sarcastically said.

My mood changed from sadness to anger. "How many times do we have to tell you? We are not dating!" I screamed.

"When will you get that through your head, Manic?" Sonia yelled.

Sonic just then laughed out loud. "Oh, you guys are dating all right."

" What makes you say that?" I yelled.

" You two having a picnic dinner at the beach last Thursday night." Manic said, holding back laughter.

Me and Sonia's eyes widened. Our moods changed yet again. This time from anger to embarrassment.

"H-how did you know about that?" Sonia said.

"Me snooping around, Thursday." Manic said.

"Hey, how do you know that was a date? We could have just had a friendly meal together as friends. "I said defensively.

"You did more than just eat a meal." Sonic said with his eyes on the road, on the verge of laughing his butt off.

Oh no! Please don't tell me he saw that. PLEASE DON'T TELL ME HE SAW THAT!

"W-what did you see?" Sonia asked.

"Should I tell him what I saw?" Manic asked Sonic.

"Totally." Sonic said, eyes one hundred percent on the road

"I saw you two kissing." Manic said before bursting out laughing.

Short chapter. I know. That is something I need to work on. Making the chapters longer.
