I just to say, thank you people for reviewing this story. It helps me out a lot. Well, onward to the next chapter. Take it away, Sonic!

Sonic: Austin Skywalker doesn't own me or Sega. Now, let's do it to it!

Chapter 4: Asking for help

The sun was shining brightly through the window of the bedroom. I woke up, stretching my arms and yawning. I then spotted a blue chaos emerald with a note beside the bed. I took the note it said.

I'm leaving this emerald in your care.

Try not to lose it. You may need it.

Shadow.

I place the note back on the bedside table and took the chaos emerald. I stared at it, not looking away. I know that these emeralds hold tremendous power. I could feel it as I was holding it. I better make sure this doesn't fall into the hands of eggman's. I thought

I put the chaos emerald away and went out of the bedroom. I started to walk down the staircase slowly, taking a look around. The house was small, but it was nice and peaceful. As I got to the bottom, I was wondering where to go. I spotted a kitchen a little ways from where am standing. I went in to see Cream and cheese on the table.

"Good morning, Cream." I said, smiling. "You too, Cheese."

Cream and Cheese look up to see me. "Good morning to you too, Austin." She said. "Chao, chao." Cheese said.

I sat down next to Cream. Just then, another Rabbit came In. she was like Cream, expect older. I assume this was Creams mother.

"Oh hello there, dear. You must be Austin. Cream has told me about you." She said. "I'm her mother, Vanilla. It's nice to meet you."

I turn to face her, "it's nice to meet you too, um…" I wasn't sure if I should say her name.

She simply smiled. "Oh that's okay, dear. You can me Vanilla. Everyone does.

I nodded. She strode though the kitchen towards the sink. "I hope your hungry, Austin. Me and Cream where just making breakfast.'

My stomach growled. I laughed a little. "I guess I didn't realize I was this hungry."

Cream and Vanilla laughed. Vanilla reached in the oven to take out a pan full of cinnamon rolls. She then put icing on top of them. "I do hope you like cinnamon rolls, Austin. Cream insisted on making this. She made this herself."

The yummy smell of cinnamon filled my nostrils. I loved that smell. Vanilla then carefully cut the pieces and put them on a plate. She put the plate of cinnamon rolls on the table. Cream then came up, holding a pot of tea and some teacups. "Would you like some tea, Austin?"

"Yes, please." She placed a teacup down and pours some tea in it. Vanilla put some smaller plates on the table for me and Cream. We both started to grab some cinnamon rolls from the plate. I started to eat my cinnamon roll and it was delicious!

"Do you like it, Austin?' Asked Cream.

"Like it? I love it! This is the best cinnamon roll I've ever had."

Cream smiled and Cheese cheered (Chao, Chao). After we finished eating and cleaning up, I went outside to get some fresh air. It was a nice day out in Station Square. I crossed my arms and started to think of what to do today. My first thought was sonic. He was probably doing one of his morning jogs. Sonic love to run and he can't stand still a whole lot. I also remembered that I had super speed too. The only problem was that I didn't know how to do it. I then thought of tails, who was likely to be in his workshop, creating some new kind of gadget or something. Maybe tails can help me out. If egghead is going to show his face around here, I better know how to use my new found speed and how to control It. I thought. I started to get into a running position and I was gone in the blink of an eye.

The speed that I was going was incredibly! The acceleration, the wind, the excitement. I was smiling, enjoying my new speed. Just then, I heard a girl's voice from a distance. I tried to stop, but I didn't know how. I look forward to see that I was running straight for a tree!

My whole body crashed into the tree. I fell on the grass in pain. I was stiff as a rock as I was lying there in pain. "Ow. So that's what it feels like when you run headlong to a wall or tree at full speed." I started to get up, still aching from crashing into the tree. I turned around to see where I was when suddenly a pair of arms was around my waist.

"I got you, Sonic!" said a girl's voice from behind me. I knew in an instant it was Amy. "I knew I would catch you in my arms sooner or later."

I felt stiff. I didn't know what to do. When Amy let go of me. She was shocked to see that it wasn't Sonic, but me.

"Austin! Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" she said.

I turned to face her. "Its okay, Amy. You don't have to say that."

Amy looked at me. "It's just that I saw someone running through here and I thought it was Sonic. So I ran to catch up." She paused for a moment and said. "I didn't know you could run that fast, Austin. What were you trying to do?"

"I was heading for Tail's workshop. I was going to ask if he can help me control my speed. I guess I got a little carried away while I was running and ran into this tree. Now that I come to think about it, I don't even know where Tail's workshop is."

Amy then grabbed my hand and said "well then, let me help you out."

I stared at her "huh?"

"Since your new here, I'll help you get to Tail's workshop. I know this city like the back of my hand." She then dragged me along.

Moving along with her was the only way to keep me from falling since her hand was still holding on to mine. We roamed through the city, seeing various buildings, stores and a lot of people. After what felt like forever, we finally reached Tail's workshop.

"Well, here we are. I told you I know where it was, didn't I?" she said with her hands behind her back.

I smiled and looked at her. "And you were right. Thanks for your help, Amy."

"No problem. Anyway, I got to go see if sonic is still around here. See you later, Austin!" she then ran back to where we came from.

I knock on the door and waited. After several seconds, the door opened and there stood Tails.

"Hey Austin, how you doing?" he asked.

"I'm alright, Tails. Can I come in?"

"Yeah. Come on in." I went inside and Tails guided me to his garage. When we got there, there stood a huge plane. It was probably the X-Tornado. I whistle at the site of it. It was magnificent.

"That's the X-tornado. I have been making new adjustments to it for more firepower and durability." Tail's said.

I turned to face him. "Hey Tails, I need your help with something."

"Sure. What is it that you need help with, Austin?" Tails asked.

I started to tell Tails about my new speeding power, how I got it and asked him about how to control it. Tails thought about this and said. "I've got it. I can get Sonic here and he can give you some tricks as to how you can control your speed. Also I can construct an obstacle course for you that can help you use your speed in different ways."

"That sounds like a good idea, Tails." I said. "So, when should I start?"

"Well, it's going to take me awhile to get the course ready. So you will have to wait until I get it ready. But, in the meantime, Sonic could probably show you how it's done."

"Don't worry, Tails. I can wait. Besides, I'm in no rush."

"Then it's settled." We both shook hands. Tails then looked at the clock. It was already 10:00 pm.

I stared at the time. "It that the right time?" I asked.

"Yep, that's the right time. Well, I better head to bed. Goodnight, Austin."

"Night, Tails." I said as Tails went upstairs to his bedroom. I made my way out of the workshop and headed back to Cream's house. It took me a little while to find it. When I finally got there, it was 10:30 pm. Man, time sure does fly by here. Cream and Cheese were probably already in bed. So I sneaked quietly back to the bedroom and closed the door. I was tired as I flopped on the bed with my head hitting the pillow. After a few minutes, I closed my eyes and sleep took over me.

There goes another chapter. The next chapter will be about my training with the blue hedgehog himself! Will I have what it takes to control my speed? Found out when the next chapter comes!

Sonic: so now, leave some more reviews for us. Austin does love reviews.

But of Course, Sonic. So until next time-

Sonic: catch you on the Flipside!

Hey! That was my line! Oh well.
