Chapter 2: Two tail and the Blue Blur
Miles walked hesitantly up to the restaurant. He was careful not to be seen as he did this. He hopped out of the forest and snuck onto the road. He then quickly dashed to the other side and hid behind a trashcan that was located next to the restaurant. Miles looked around to see if anyone was watching. The only people he saw were two rich looking tourists walking up to the stairs. One was a male rat with a black tuxedo on and a clearly fake mustache. The other was a female rat next to him with a pink dress on and a more clearly fake wig on. Miles giggled a little but forced himself to stop for fear he would be heard. The rats walked past Miles and up the stairs.
"After you my lady." The male rat said that statement in a kind British accent and than opened the door for her. Miles thought his voice was even funnier then his attire so he let out a slightly loud chuckle. Fortunately for him they didn't hear it.
"Oh you." The woman said in an equally kind British accent. Miles thought her voice was weird as soon as she said it. It didn't seem as real as the man's voice. Miles shrugged and thought nothing of it. He saw the two go into the restaurant soon after. Miles thought those two were obviously rich and that he could probably make a few bucks off them. He chuckled again before running up the stairs and into the restaurant. As soon as he walked through the door he remembered the reason he came here in the first place. Miles looked at the counter and decided to get the ice before he got the money. Quietly, he snuck up to the counter and tried to jump. He didn't succeed to make it over so he tried again. It was another failed attempt.
'This would be a lot easier if I could fly.' He pouted. He recently discovered that if he twisted his tails fast enough he would lift off the ground. However that was the only thing he could accomplish. He would always fly back down toward the ground as soon as he got a few centimeters off of it. He tried flying many times but the attempts always ended in the same result. Miles gave it another jump and he succeeded to grab the ledge of the counter. He pulled himself up and over to the other side of the counter. Many people in the restaurant saw him do this but didn't process it as a problem.
"Okay, now where's the ice?" Miles asked looking around the area he was in. He proceeded to run in the kitchen full of hard working chefs. He ran past them while not making a peep. Soon he was in the freezer area. Miles walked up to the door that said 'Freezer. Off limits to costumers' and pushed it open. He walked in the cold environment. He stopped for a second and looked around for the ice. His eyes soon locked on a huge bag on the floor filled with ice. Miles smiled and skipped over the bag and tried to pick it up. He put both arms underneath and began to lift but couldn't get it off the ground. After about 5 seconds he dropped the bag on the floor and deduced that he wasn't strong enough to lift it.
"This is perfect. Now how am ice going to get my ice." Miles thought for a second and decided he didn't need all of it. He pierced his teeth through the package and opened it. Small blocks of ice began to fall on the floor. Miles then noticed a frosty sticky note on the side of the package that said 'ice' written on it. Miles wondered why the owner would need to label something that could easily be deciphered without putting a label on it but then thought it could be a good tool to hold the ice on his skin. He peeled the sticky note off and rapped it around a few small pieces of ice. He then placed it on the area that was bruised. After he was done with that part of his body he then proceeded to do the next one. It took him a few minutes but he finally was satisfied with how he felt. He soon exited the freezer and made his way back to the entrance of the restaurant. After jumping over the counter again he decided to find those British people.
"Did we have to come here honey, this place is so…foreign." The female rat complained.
"Don't worry madam. This hovel may be disgustingly gross but it is said to be one of the best places to look for food on Mobius. We shall give it a try and if you are not satisfied, we'll sue the owner." Stated the rat.
"Yay!" She shouted in a delighted voice. That was when she noticed someone was at the end of the table. She was about to declare it the waiter but when she looked over she saw a dirty fox holding his palms out in a cup formation. She stared for a second then noticed he was trying to demand for money.
"Shoo! Go away I say!" said the male rat.
"Oh honey, he looks so cute. Just give him a simple 50 bucks. That's all." The female said.
"A fifty?" boasted the male rat.
"Hello, we're rich. Just part with the fifty and be done with it."
"You don't understand. It's my money. If I give him some than I have less."
"Never thought of it that way. But still, give him at least a five." She pleaded. The male rat reached in his wallet and pulled out a five. She took it from him and was about to give the bill to the most needy fox but than noticed something. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"What is it wife?" the male rat sounded concerned.
"The fox! He has a second tail!" The woman shouted. The whole restaurant perked up when they heard that. Miles' sweat dropped.
'Uh oh!' Miles thought. He soon began to panic when he saw the owner come out of the kitchen with a frying pan.
"Did I here someone say a fox was in here with two tails!" The owner shouted. Everyone pointed to Miles. The owner ran up to him with the pan in hand. "I thought I told you the last time, No freaks allowed!" He shouted slamming the frying pan toward Miles' head. Miles quickly jumped on top of the male rat's head and from there jumped over the owner's head. The owner saw the fox heading for the door and quickly ran in front of the entrance. Miles turned around when he saw his only way out was blocked and ran toward the counter. He did a huge forceful jump and grabbed on the ledge again. Miles climbed over to the other side before the frying pan could connect with his body again. The owner jumped over the counter with one jump and proceeded to chase him.
" I say, what a horrible person." The male rat said referring to Miles. He picked up the menu to begin reading but noticed his wife was looking at him strange. "What the devil are you staring at?"
"You're mustache…it fell off when the fox jumped on your head." The female said. The male rat looked down on the table and saw his mustache lying there.
"Uh oh." The male rat said worried.
"You lied to me." The woman said angrily.
"Well…"
"After all this time, I thought I could trust you to tell me your secrets!"
"Oh yeah, well how come you couldn't tell me yours?" The male rat reached over and pulled off the woman's wig, revealing a semi balled head. The whole restaurant had their attention on the couple now.
"How dare you! Why would a so-called civilized British man steal a woman's hair! Where do you get the nerve!" She yelled in a loud American voice.
"…………I've got a better question for you. WHERE THE HELL DID YOUR ACCENT GO!" The male rat noticed that she was speaking the new English instead of the old.
"Okay I lied about being British! I'm from Station Square! So what!"
"You bitch!" The male rat stood up from his seat. The female pushed him over the edge of the seat and he fell on the floor. As soon as he hit the ground he rammed into the leg of someone else's chair and it slid across the floor and fell on top of him. The man in that seat was drinking something at the time and when he fell over it spilled on his shirt. The man looked at his soaked shirt and grabbed the rat by his collar.
"That shirt cost me twenty bucks!" shouted the angry costumer.
"Get a job!" The rat yelled back. The man punched the rat across two tables and fell on the third table that was occupied with six people. The food he landed in splattered all over them.
"Hey!" they all yelled unison.
Meanwhile
Miles had ducked the mighty swing of the frying pan many times and he was starting to get tired. Soon he ran back toward the entrance and jumped to the ledge of the counter again. However, when Miles climbed on top he was hit over the head with the pan and he fell to the floor with a loud plop. Miles scrambled to his feet and ran out the door.
"And don't come back!" shouted the owner. He then turned to look at his customers and saw that they were all fighting each other. "Uh oh." He said as he watched people throw food and land punches at one another.
Outside the restaurant
"Boy am I hungry! I can't believe there were that many people who wanted my autograph. I'm just glad it's over." Sonic said walking up the forest hill. When he reached the road he saw something heading straight for him. Sonic quickly moved out of the way when he saw it coming after him. A two-tailed fox ran right past him and into the forest. Sonic walked from behind the tree he was hiding behind and looked in the direction the fox was running. "W-was that a fox…with two tails? COOL!" Sonic said clearly amazed. He was about to follow the fox when his stomach made a forceful growl. He decided to get the food first than catch up with him. With that he ran into the restaurant.
"Time for me to eat until my stomach's…" Sonic started before he was pelted with a piece of orange goop. Sonic stood there wondering what the hell just happened when he heard the sound of fighting and glass breaking. Sonic wiped the food off of his face and saw people running around the restaurant trying to hurt each other. "What the?" Sonic looked up at the counter and saw the owner. He wondered why he would let something this crazy happen in his own restaurant. He quickly ran toward the counter and had a seat on a rotating stool. "Hey buddy, what's with all the flying food and wild people?" Sonic asked as he watched them all fight.
"Oh I don't know. At first they were quiet and well mannered. Then I go in the kitchen for a few minutes and when I come out they're all fighting." The owner explained clearly stressed out. That was when Sonic got an idea.
"Hey, I could make them stop for you." Sonic said smiling.
"You can! How?"
"Well it won't be easy or cheap either." Sonic said with a smug look on his face. The owner didn't like that smile. He was wondering if the hedgehog was planning on getting a huge amount of cash that he didn't have.
"W-what do you want?" He asked hoping it'd be something cheap.
"…A chili dog."
"What?"
"You heard me. I want a free chili dog with cheese, ketchup, mustard, and a mountain of chili!" Sonic demanded. The owner stared at him weirdly then chuckled.
"Ha Ha! Okay, you got it, one chili dog on the house." The owner said. Sonic smiled knowing that would work. He stood up on the stool and whistled loudly with his fingers.
"Hey look everybody, it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog!" He shouted while waving his hands around. The owner gasped when he heard that name. Everyone soon stopped to look. They were all staring at the blue hedgehog with their now wide eyes.
"A-are you really Sonic the Hedgehog?" The owner asked in shock.
"Sure am." Sonic said. It was only seconds later before everyone ran up to him screaming and asking for his autograph. Sonic's sweat dropped. "Well at least the chili dog is free." He stated while putting a worried smile on his face.
1 hour later
Sonic kept flexing his arm while walking down the hill with the chilidog in the other hand. He signed autographs for an hour and his writing hand was really, really tried. He started thinking twice about this whole hero thing. There was so much everyone expected him to do. It was getting a little old. Once it was free rentals day at the video store and it ended at 4:00. Sonic knew he could make it because he was in fact the fastest thing alive. However when he ran past a little girl crying on the sidewalk he ran back toward her and asked what was wrong. She stated that he cat was stuck in a tree. Sonic thought that was the oldest and most played out problem ever. But being the soft guy he was he rescued the cat. By the time he got the cat out it was too late. Sonic left the house at 3:58 because of the excitement of not making it in time but just barely getting into the store. Plus he loved to piss off the store manager when he was about to close at 3:59 and Sonic would always run in and demand a free video rental. Of course those times rarely happen anymore.
"Sigh' I wonder if my chilidog will make me feel better." Sonic said sitting on a nearby rock.
In the tree above him
Miles sat there sulking. Why did Bear Mayor have to pass that dumb law about having no birth defect? Miles sat and continued to think about the subject when he realized that most people wouldn't even be alive right now if they had two tails. He was one of the lucky ones.
"I wonder if being dead would be an even better life." Miles wondered. That was when he felt someone else's presence. Miles looked down and saw a blue hedgehog getting ready to take a bite out of a chilidog. 'Yummy' Miles thought as he used his tails to latch on to a branch. He quietly and slowly lowered himself above the hedgehog's head. 'That chilidog is going to be mine.' Miles saw the hedgehog getting ready to take the huge bite when suddenly he grabbed the chilidog with his extended hand, jumped out the tree, and ran deeper into the forest. Sonic ended up biting his hand, which still hurt a lot even though he had a glove on.
"YEEEEEOOOWWW! What the hell!" Sonic shouted as he waved his hurting hand up and down. Sonic wondered what just happened. He then turned his head to the side and saw a fox with two tails running deep into the forest. "HEY!" Sonic jumped off the rock and ran after him.
"I did it! I got away with the chilidog!" Miles shouted.
"Hey you!" Sonic shouted after him
"Uh oh." Miles knew it was too good to be true. He ran a lot faster in order to try and get away from the hedgehog.
"Get back here you! I signed autographs for an hour to get that chilidog!" Sonic picked up the passé of his feet and increased speed. Sonic never let the sight of the two-tailed fox out of his eyes. They ran through the huge forest, one trying to get away, while the other tried to catch up. Miles soon started to spin his tails while he ran. Eventually Miles was hovering over the ground and going really fast.
"Whoo Hoo! There is no way that hedgehog is fast enough to keep up." Miles said in triumph.
"No way for me to catch up huh?" Sonic shouted to Miles. Miles looked next to him and saw Sonic running backwards by his side. Miles freaked out and turned left. This move completely took Sonic by surprise. He was about to follow Miles' move and go left but by not looking where he was going accidentally rammed into a tree. Sonic looked dazed for a second than quickly remembered he had to catch up. Sonic spun his feet around twice and boomed after him.
"Man he is fast! I better eat this now before he…" Miles started before he saw a familiar blue face run up next to him.
"Before I catch up." Sonic finished Miles' sentence. Miles looked at him awestruck. He didn't get it. How could this hedgehog run so fast?
"You look surprised. Oh did I forget to tell I'm Sonic the Hedgehog." Sonic said while running past Miles.
"Sonic the Hedgehog!" Miles shouted. He stole a chilidog from the Sonic the Hedgehog. He had really done it now. Miles was considering giving the chilidog back but as soon as he was about to stop his stomach bellowed a huge growl at him. Miles' inner organ seemed to convince him enough. He wasn't letting this dog go without a fight. Miles picked up the speed of his tails and he blasted down toward where Sonic was. He soon saw Sonic dodging up coming trees and bushes up ahead. Miles ran up to the speedy hedgehog's side.
"Whoa! You're better than I thought!" Sonic was impressed with this fox's amazing ability to keep up. However Sonic wasn't about to give up. Sonic kept ducking through trees and branches as fast as he could, while Miles tried his best to keep up. That was when the fox got an idea. He jumped up to the truck of the tree then immediately bounced off of it to the next one. This way he didn't have to dodge all of those trees and thus making him go faster. Sonic soon saw the yellow-orange fox jump past him by using the trees.
"See ya Sonic!" Miles mocked as he jumped forward.
"Whoa! This kid already knows the triangle jump. Amazing! Why didn't I think of that?" Sonic jumped on the trunk of the tree and began to triangle jump with Miles. They did this until they ran out of trees. Miles landed on the ground first and continued running with the chilidog still in hand. Sonic landed a few seconds later and continued to run as well. Soon they came toward a the edge of a hill. Miles knew that going down a hill would give him even greater speed so he immediately sprinted for it. As soon as he got to the edge where the hill started to roll downward he jumped over the edge and continued running at an even greater speed. Sonic came up to the hill as well and did the same exact thing Miles did. Sonic somehow was able to use the hill to his advantage the most however. He ended up running a few centimeters past Miles. When Miles saw this he grew even more angry. He than got a sadistic plan in his head. He knew he'd be doing this to Mobius' greatest hero but he had no choice!
"That's it Sonic! I'm really mad now!" Miles ran straight at Sonic's side than stuck his foot out. Sonic really didn't see that move coming. He didn't have time to react to it ether. Sonic tripped over Miles' foot and rolled down the hill until he crashed into a tree. Miles laughed as he ran past Sonic and into the second part of the forest.
"I did it! I beat Sonic the Hedgehog! The chilidog is mi..." WHAM! Miles forgot to look where he was going and ended up ramming into a huge boulder. His body slid off the boulder and he fell on the ground. After that ordeal, Sonic got up from the area he was at and ran after the fox.
"What a cheap trick!" Sonic shouted as he trailed after the fox. He kept running straight hoping he would catch up to him when he saw an upcoming boulder. Sonic skidded to a stop and decided he moved left. before Sonic could run however he noticed something was splattered all over the boulder. He walked up to it and, without knowing it, stepped on someone. He looked down and saw the fox lying on the ground. Sonic immediately thought it was blood that was splattered on the huge rock. He soon examined it closer and found it was the chilidog. "Aww man! I can't believe it. My chilidog's gone." He whined than looked down at the fox. Sonic bent down and felt his face. "Yup, he's out cold alright." Sonic said than sighed. That was when he noticed the fox's nose start to bleed. "Uh oh! Better get you some help!" Sonic picked the body up and raced off.
Meanwhile in the Egg Fortress
"You fool! Sonic's plane was destroyed but Sonic wasn't1" Dr.Eggman shouted at his metal creation.
"Wow. even I don't stink as bad as you buddy!' Bokkun shouted at the robot.
"You have one more chance to prove yourself! If you don't get it right this time! There will be dyer consequences." Eggman warned. "Do I make myself clear?" Eggman asked.
"..." The metal figure didn't answer.
"I said do I make myself clear!" Eggman shouted again.
"...Yes doctor."
"Good, the invasion is in 2 days. You'd better get your act together by than. Now leave!" Eggman demanded. The metal creation turned and left.
"For one of your most unique creations, he's not doing so hot as for following orders is he?" Bokkun asked. Eggman said nothing. "Uh doctor?" Bokkun tried to get his attention.
"Forget him Bokkun. Come on we've got plans to complete." Eggman turned to his computer and began typing.
Back at the beach
Miles woke up completely dazed and confused. He looked up at the night sky and saw the moon shining down on him. Miles wondered why it was morning a minute ago but it was night time all of a sudden. He lifted his head up and looked around. He was in the cockpit of a black biplane. It didn't look like it was painted black. It looked more like it was set on fire. Miles pondered this for a second than noticed the tissue up his left nostril. He reached for it in order to pull it out.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Sonic said startling the hell out of Miles. Miles looked at the hedgehog in pure disbelief. "Aren't you going to say thank you?" Sonic asked. Miles just stared at him.
"Well than could you at least tell me your name?" Sonic asked starting to get impatient. Miles didn't really trust that hedgehog, not for a second. That was when he remembered the incident with the chili dog. Miles did in fact steal the chilidog from him and yet this hedgehog saved him. Miles than decided that he wasn't being fair.
"My name is Miles Prower." Miles than shut his mouth, realizing he said that weird name. It sounded like one of those names rich kids get from their over achieving parents. That was the exact opposite of Miles' situation however. Right now he hoped that hedgehog wouldn't laugh at his name like countless kids have done to him. Sonic stared at the fox in disbelief.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! What kind of a name is that!" Sonic laughed. Miles felt the tears coming. It was again to good to be true. "I'm sorry buddy but that name is just so funny! Not as funny as the name mom was going to give me however." Sonic said. Miles' ears perked up.
"What name was that?" Miles shut his mouth again. He couldn't believe he asked that. The hedgehog was probably going to kill him now. Sonic jumped in the cockpit. Miles flinched.
"Well if you gotta know. She was going to call me Fanny." Sonic said out loud. Miles felt weird when he heard that name. He started to form a crooked smile and he soon started to chuckle. Sonic formed a wide smile as soon as he saw this. Miles tried to hold it in but couldn't. He eventually began bursting into an uproar of laughter. Miles clutched his chest and rolled around the inside of the cockpit in laughter, trying to make himself stop. He just couldn't stop however. After a few minutes of laughter Miles calmed down and sat up to face the hedgehog. His face turned into that of pure fright now.
"Please don't hurt me!" Miles covered his head.
"What?" Sonic asked.
"Please, don't hurt me because I laughed at that name."
"Why would I hurt you because you laughed at that name. It's not even my real name. I think it's funny actually. But I'll stick with Sonic. Boy am I glad she chose that one." Sonic said. Miles took his hands away from his head. This guy was different. Why did he act so nice to him. It was almost as if he actually wasn't going to hurt him. But that can't be. Every person he came in contact with in his life hurt him. Except for that big cat he met earlier in the day however.
"Why aren't you going to beat me up?" Miles asked really wanting to know.
"Why would I?" Sonic asked.
"Because everybody else on this island does." Miles answered. Sonic stared at him with face of confusion. That had to be an exaggeration. He was only a little kid and exaggerations were common for them.
"Are you sure everybody does." sonic asked.
"Yup. Everybody I see on this island either calls me a name, kicks me, throws stuff at me, or beats me up. They have ever since I can remember. Bear Mayor passed a law that said anybody with a birth defect must be killed. I'm one of the lucky ones who lived." Miles explained.
"...WHAT!" Sonic couldn't believe it. Who in the right mind would pass a stupid as hell law like that. "Where exactly is this Bear Mayor?"
"I think he's dead. I heard some guys talking on my way to the restaurant say that some guy named Smoke came to the island and killed him." Miles said.
"Well, I guess he got what was coming to him. So how old are you?" Sonic asked.
"Four."
"FOUR?" No way this kid can't be four. He already knows the triangle jump and how to even keep up with my speed. Plus when he talks you could tell he'd be at least 9 years old. Miles looked at Sonic with a confused look on his face.
"Is there something wrong with being four?" Miles asked in a shaky voice.
"No! So you...uh...want something to eat?" Sonic asked.
"YES, YES, YES, YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!" Miles lunged at Sonic and grabbed his furry chest. It took him a minute to realize what he did and he let go of Sonic in embarrassment and a bit worried that Sonic might attack him too. Instead Sonic looked at him strangely.
"Okay, I'll be right back." Sonic zoomed out to the woods, leaving Miles all alone. Miles looked around the cockpit and saw a glove compartment. Miles quickly opened it and saw a wallet. He took it out and saw that it was slightly burnt. He opened it up and saw 2 crumpled up and burnt 20 Mobian dollar bills. Miles thought about taking them and running away since they were still good for use. He reached to grab them then drew back his hand.
'I can't do that to Sonic. He's the only one who's ever been nice to me. But...' Miles reached in to grab the money again.
"Hey there!" Sonic shouted. Miles freaked out and quickly hid the money behind his back.
"Whatcha got there?" Sonic asked already knowing.
"Nothing." Miles lied trying to keep the money hidden. Sonic followed the fox's movements until Miles was tricked into turning around for Sonic to see the money. Miles panicked and slowly gave him back the money. Expecting the worse he ducked and covered. After about a minute he looked up to see Sonic sitting there with one eyebrow raised.
"I'm not going to hurt you." Sonic said quietly.
"Y-you're not."
"No. Here take this." Sonic gave him a chilidog. Miles took it and wondered how he got it so fast. In reality all Sonic did was run back to the restaurant, whistle to the owner, than he would get a chilidog, and come back out here. He watched as Miles ate the chilidog extremely fast. "Boy, you eat as if you haven't eaten in days." Sonic said.
"...That's because I haven't." Miles said. Sonic couldn't believe he heard that.
"What?" Sonic asked.
"I said I haven't eaten in days." Miles answered.
"Don't your parents feed you." Sonic asked. That was when Miles started to feel the tears coming.
"Sniff' No 'Sniff' I never knew my parents. I've been living outside forever." Miles started bawling now. Sonic couldn't believe it. This fox had no parents, no home, and no one even likes or has the proper kindness to help him, yet he is still alive. Sonic decided to try and comfort the crying fox.
"Listen buddy. I'm sorry if I..." Sonic began.
"It's not you. It's my life. I wish...I wish..." Miles continued bawling and eventually started crying on Sonic's shoulder. Sonic didn't even attempt to move him away. He Just let the little fox drain out his tears.
