( I don't own Sonic or Sega)
Sonic then opened the door to find a shocking surprise. Knuckles, Rouge, Amy, and Cream at the door carrying what looked like food and presents. "Happy Birthday!" they all exclaimed. "Whoa I didn't expect this." Sonic said looking stunned. "It was Tails's idea!" Amy yelled as she dropped her present and food plate to jump onto Sonic."Ah, hey get off me!" Yelled Sonic as everybody else was laughing. "Well come on in and let's begin the party." Tails shouted all excited. "Wow I can't thank you guys enough for this, you really are the best friends I could ever have." Sonic said thanking his friends. "Oh, by the way tails what was that favor you wanted me to ask?" Tails pondered for a minute until he remembered. "Oh yeah I wanted to ask you a favor, can you stay at my house tonight and help me fix the X Tornado?" "Sure thing buddy, i'd love too." Sonic then went on to have fun at his birthday party. "Ok everyone." Tails announced. "It's time to give Birthday Boy here his gifts." "U-um Mr. Sonic." Said Cream as she looked at him shyly. "Could you open mine first?" "Of course." Sonic said happily. Sonic opened the present from Cream he pulled out a bracelet made of sapphire. "Wow!" Sonic exclaimed very surprised. "This is beautiful thank you." He then opened his other presents to which he was given a pendent from Amy, a gemstone from rouge, a gift card to Chili Dog Emporium from knuckles, and a friendship frame handcrafted by tails for a picture of them. "These are all great gifts thanks again." Sonic then looked outside to find that a it was raining really hard. "Hey, since it's raining why don't you guys stay the night with us. "Yeah it would be great." Said Tails as he was walking downstairs" To which Knuckles replied. "Sure thing." "I'd love too." Said Amy. "I could use a little rest without having to walk home." Said Rouge who was half-asleep on the couch. "It would be a great time for us to talk." Cream said. "Alright then it's settled." Sonic said as he was walking downstairs to help Tails.
"Hey Sonic I wanted to ask you something." Sure Tails what's up?" "What do you think our future holds for us?" "What do you mean?" "you know I mean the future: love, marriage, family, all of that stuff." Sonic just sat on the stool thinking for about two minutes until he answered. "I don't know really, I haven't thought about it." "Oh I see" Tails blushed bright red. Sonic could tell something was up. "Hey tails?" "W-what?" tails asked looking embarrassed. "Do you have a crush on somebody?" Sonic asked looking at him dead-on. "U-um well you see I uh gulp." Tails couldn't finish his sentence because he was so choked up, he felt the blood rushing to his head and thought he might pass out at any moment. "Ah ha." Sonic thought to himself. "So he does like somebody." Tails then went on to reply to Sonic's question. "Well I do really like her but i'm not sure." The minute Tails finished his sentence he looked away from Sonic to work on his machine to hide his embarrassment, and then a he mumbled under his breath, "it's Cream." Sonic then went on to tell Tails what he thought. "Ah I see, well it's kinda like how it is with me and Amy, I mean I do like her but i'm not sure if I like her the way she wants me to, so what I suggest is to find out how she feels about you and if she likes you then tell her how you feel." There was a few seconds of silence until Tails turned and faced Sonic with an expression of gratitude of his face. "Thanks Sonic I appreciate that." "That's great to hear." Sonic said. "Now let's work on the X Tornado.
Meanwhile upstairs.
"I told you I didn't steal your stupid pizza!" Rouge shouted at Knuckles. "Oh sure." Knuckles replied with a smart tone. "Just like you didn't steal the Master Emerald last month." "Oh don't start that with me!" Rouge yelled back. Meanwhile Amy and Cream where by the television talking to each other.
"Hey cream?" Amy asked as she was lying on the sofa. "Yes?" Cream replied. "Do you think Sonic likes me?" Cream looked at Amy. "What are you talking about of course he does." Amy sat up and started to look distressed. "But do you think he likes me like I like him?" Cream didn't hesitate to answer. "If he didn't like and care about you he wouldn't have saved your life from Eggman all those times he kidnapped you." Amy's face started to light up a little, but she still seemed down. "I guess you're right, but it just seems like he doesn't want me around half the time, canceling our dates, running away from me, and he never really seems to take interest in me." Cream had think for a minute until she came up with a good answer. "Well Maybe you should talk to him later, I mean we are staying here for tonight, just talk to him, tell him how you feel an maybe he will tell you he does like you, or maybe he doesn't." Cream then went on to say something she didn't mean to say. "It's like me, I like Tails a lot, but I don't know if he feels the same way." "GASP!" But as soon as she said that they heard footsteps coming up from the workshop. Amy quickly said to Cream. "Ok tomorrow how about we both tell them how we feel and see how it works out, agreed?" Amy said as she held her hand out to shake Cream's "Agreed." After they were through shaking hands Sonic and Tails came up from downstairs as the clock went off. DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG. "Whoa it's already that late!" Sonic said really tired as his eyes were drooping. "I think we are going to bed." Tails said as he looked as tired as Sonic. "Alright goodnight you two." Amy said while Knuckles and Rouge were still arguing in the guest rooms. As Sonic and Tails got into bed they said their good nights to each other. "Goodnight Tails." "Goodnight birthday boy." "Yawn, thanks buddy…" Sonic said as he fell asleep.
…
"Huh!" "Where am I" Sonic said as he awoke to nothing but fog around him.
Suddenly Sonic hears a chilling voice. "I'm almost free."
