Chapter 1: Rescue

It had been two days since the Mayflower had left port. The blue hedgehog stood on the deck, watching the waves go by.

A young fox approached him. "Sonick?"

The hedgehog turned around. "Hello, Miles. What brings you up top?" The fox shrugged. "Nothing. I just wanted to see what you were thinking about up here."

Sonick looked out over the sea. "The New World, Miles. Is it really all Captain Jones says it will be? Will we finally be free to do what we want?"

Miles sighed. "I can't really say for certain. We should most likely wait until we get there."

A hedgehog in a long red dress slowly walked along the side of the deck.

Her servant scurried up to her. "Do you require anything, Miss Amalee?" she asked timidly.

Amalee sighed. "Not right now, Crème, thank you. I'm just feeling a little seasick," she murmured as she walked near the front of the deck.

"Are you sure? Because I could get some-" Crème cut off as she saw Amalee swoon and fall right off the stern.

"HELP! HELP! HEDGEHOG OVERBOARD! HEDGEHOG OVERBOARD!!!"

Hearing the cries, Sonick dashed along the side of the deck, coming to a halt near Crème. "Where?" he asked. Sobbing, Crème pointed directly downward.

With some trepidation, Sonick jumped over the side. "I hate water…" he muttered.

He quickly rolled into a ball, hit the water and began spinning in a circle, creating a small whirlpool. An unconscious Amalee drifted into the center.

Sonick stopped, gently grabbing Amalee in his arms and began running up the side of the Mayflower.

By this time, a crowd had formed, and Sonick was greeted with loud applause when he made it over the side.

Amalee's eyelids flickered open. "What…happened?" she asked faintly. "You fell overboard, but you're safe now," Sonick told her.

He gently deposited Amalee on her feet. "Now, if you'll all excuse me, I need to change my clothes," indicated his soaked suit and collar.

He departed amid laughter and loud cheering. Amalee drifted back towards Crème. "Who was that?" she asked, in a daze.

"His name is Sonick the Hedgehog, milady," Crème replied politely.

"Sonick…" Amalee said dreamily. "I think I'm in love!"

"I really hope I don't have to save anyone else on this voyage," muttered Sonick, shaking water out of his sleeve.

Miles laughed, falling into step beside him. "Amalee Rose."

Sonick looked over at him. "What?" "Amalee Rose," Miles repeated. "The girl you just saved." "Is she a passenger?" Sonick asked.

"She's the only hedgehog passenger aboard. And quite the beauty, too," Miles added with a roguish gleam in his eye.

Sonick gave him a look. "I hope you're not getting any ideas, Miles. I already told you, I have no interest in finding a wife."

Miles laughed. "We'll see."

This can't be! It's worse than I thought!

Shadow: (blinks) Wow...they're really not that much different than their modern selves, are they?

Author: Nope, that's the point! Review and tell me who you would like to see in 1620 (I'm not doing Big).
