A/N: Thanks for waiting, everyone! I should also take the time to thank for all the reviews that have appeared in this lapse of time. It means a lot to me. Luckily there are no more hiatuses to come except for my vacation on July 16th (fic will enter hiatus two days earlier, I'll explain in future chapters), and my writer's block is ending (never thought I'd get one of those O_o), so take a fic to the face! HUZZAH!

Anyways, here is the 5th chapter!


CHAPTER 5: ONWARDS, MY TRUSTY PLANE!

In which Sonic and Tails fly to Spagonia to meet their friends again.


Sonic was entering to his hotel room after transforming, he had no desire of exploring the town at the moment. And he didn't want Tails to encounter him without warning, he just knew the fox wasn't asleep. It was too early.

Maybe he could look at what was on the T.V. until he felt tired or the morning came.

=*-*=O=*-*=

Sonic woke up at around 8:30 and rubbed his eyes. He felt tired last night, so he had turned off the T.V. and fell asleep. He pushed the covers of the bed and hopped out, he needed to check out from the hotel and meet Tails at the lobby, so the two could go togheter to Tails' plane. The hedgehog put on his red sneakers and took his room keys to deliver them downstairs.

When he walked to the door his mind came up with an important thought, was he going to keep looking for that bracelet? Or would he go to Spagonia already? If he chose the second option, Sonic would either have to avoid his friends or tell them about his condition.

As he closed the room door for the last time and walked down the hallway, his mind just kept thinking. Would his friends be OK with him staying like that every night for the rest of his life? None of them showed fear, but they seemed to be happier around Sonic when in the day.

Sonic walked down the stairs and kept pondering. Even though this was urgent for him, he still had some things to take care of. Like Amy's Welcome Back Party. He wasn't really fond of the idea, but hey, it was for him, so it'd be rude to turn it down, right? Besides, Amy would be upset at him if he turned down.

=*-*=O=*-*=

Back at the lobby, Sonic walked to the counter to check out when he looked around and noticed Tails, sitting in one of the chairs the lobby offered. Tails turned around and noticed him as well, standing up and approaching him.

"Hey Sonic!" Tails chirped, waving a hand, "Are you going to check out?"

"Yep! Give me a second." Sonic replied an got close to the counter, while Tails returned to watching the T.V. of the place.

=*-*=O=*-*=

Outside the hotel, Sonic and Tails began to walk towards the Tornado.

"So..." Tails eeked, "Do you still want to search for that thing? Or do you want to go to Spagonia right ahead?"

"Oh?" Sonic muttered and looked at Tails. He was giving him the chance to look for it again, but if he did he'd have to tell him why it was so important, right? Besides, he wanted to hang out with his friends rather than looking for a bracelet, "Nah, let's go back to Spagonia right ahead!" he chirped.

"Okay, but first, let's get something to eat..." Tails muttered.

"Totally."

=*-*=O=*-*=

It was around 10:00a.m., and the two friends were arriving to the place where the Tornado was parked after eating breakfast. Tails jumped onto the cokpit and looked down at Sonic, "Are you ready?" he asked.

"Of course I am! I'm leaving it to you, Tails!" he answered and hopped on top of the back of the plane, where a second passenger could go holding out to the handlebars attached to the plane's structure.

Tails looked back at the controls and started out the plane, making it's propeller start spinning. He grabbed the controls and made the plane start moving towards a low crag that could give them enough momentum to start flying.

"Alright, Spagonia, here we go-ah-ACK-!" Tails chocked as he threw a coughing fit. He swallowed a bug!

"Uh, Tails, are you OK?" Sonic asked, to which Tails nodded and gave some last coughs.

"Ugh... Okay -cough- Here we go!" Tails stuttered and the Tornado moved towards the crag and took off to the skies.

=*-*=O=*-*=

Some hours passed and the Tornado still was flying, but it wouldn't be long until they landed somewhere.

Sonic had taken the time to look at the scenery below (and around) them as the flew across the world towards their destination. He thought about what was going to happen at the Welcome Back party. Maybe it'd be a nice idea to tell them about the, uh... bad hair nights and how they were going to stay forever. But, wouldn't it ruin the idea of the party? Aside from the 'welcome back!' aspect, he and his friends are obviously going to celebrate for other things.

Eggman being defeated, the world being restored... And he wanted to add the fact that he was going to be normal again.

But that wasn't happening.

=*-*=O=*-*=

Another hour passed, and the Tornado landed in front of an hangar at a small airport the city had to offer. After turning off the engines, Tails and Sonic hopped out of the place, both stretching out after the hours of being in one constant position.

It was some minutes near sunset in Spagonia, and Sonic had already noticed that. But he wasn't going to let Tails notice it.

"Man, I'm hungry!" Sonic yawned, stretching his legs.

"Yeah, me too..." Tails sighed.

"But you know what?" the hedgehog asked, "I think I may want to do a little sight-seeing around here. It has been a while, and I like the looks of this place."

"You do? Well, I suppose it's fine, do you want to eat with me or do I go eat right now?" the fox asked back.

"You can go and eat," Sonic shrugged, "I think I'm gonna stay awake and see what I can do at this time of the night." he stated.

"Oh, okay. How about I see you tomorrow at the University?"

"Sounds great, pal," Sonic smiled, "But for now, I gotta go! See you later!" he chirped and ran off. Tails barely had the time to wave him goodbye.

=*-*=O=*-*=

Some minutes passed and Sonic was running around the town, this place was much bigger and open than Apotos, so he could practice one of his favorite activities freely.

He noticed the sun was about to set and searched for an alley to hide in. But unlike yesterday, he was feeling intrested in roaming the city for a while.


A/N: Thanks for your patience, guys! It certainly means a lot. Also I want to thank you again for all the reviews and comments. It means a lot to me, and I try to make this fic seem as solid as possible, something I probably couldn't do without your reviews. Because as you can tell, I'm not an experienced writer.

Well, until the next chapter!
