Chapter 4: Oh My Gosh, I'm So Sorry
AMY'S POV
"Still running." I said quietly, to myself. My anger had subsided a long time ago and was now replaced with a growing sense of concern. He suddenly sped up, leaving a big trail of dust behind him. "Now he's speeding up again. But why?" I quietly added. I noticed he was scratching his right ear again. Then I realized something. What if, when he was saving me, something landed in his ear? The thought made me feel guilty that I got mad at him for 'not listening'. He probably hadn't been able to hear me. "Maybe something happened to Sonic when he was battling that robot." I said, voicing my thoughts to the others. "That could be why he's acting this way."
"What could it be?" Chris asked me.
"I don't know." I responded. This wasn't true, but I wasn't going to tell them my theory without some evidence.
"Let's go talk to my grandpa." Chris offered. "He might be able to figure out what's wrong."
"I hope so, because if something's wrong with Sonic, it's because he saved me." I looked down, where he was still running. As the X-Tornado began to turn away, I quietly whispered, "Please be okay, Sonic."
SONIC'S POV
I thought I heard a plane's engine, but wasn't too sure. I didn't bother checking. As I sped up once again, I changed my focus to the annoying beeping in my ear. Where is it? I wondered as I searched. The plane apparently turned away, because I couldn't hear it anymore. I just continued on.
EGGMAN'S POV
I was relaxing in my Egg Fort, when Decoe decided to tell me something.
"Doctor, here is something I think you will enjoy." His metallic voice said. I wondered what it could be. He pressed a button and the screen in front of me showed Sonic running. I chuckled a little at the scene.
"Well, well. Looks like Sonic's working up quite a sweat." I noted.
"Perhaps you might want to do the same, Doctor. You have been getting a bit round around the waist lately." My other robot assistant, Bocoe said.
"What!" I yelled as my keen mind processed what he had said. He began to cower under my rage. "Cut the wisecracks or I'll waste you, you impudent ashcan." I threatened. He wisely shut up. I glanced back at the screen, where Sonic was still running through the desert. The sun was setting, and I was ready to pack it in. "Sonic must be up to something, but what could it be?"
Thanks to people's reviews, I've decided to post a second chapter today. AmeliaTheHedgehog, would you please come here (Gives hug), you've guessed correctly! ShinyShiny9 would you please come here as well? You got the level right, so here you go (Gives another hug). The game was Sonic Adventure 2, but it's okay. And incase anyone was wondering (stares at reviewers) this won't interrupt my real life and the quality won't suffer, because I've already witten most of the couple of the chapters, and I'm just going through to check that everything flows right. That, and I want people to take the time out of their day to think. So hope you enjoyed. Oh, and this chapter title is a line from one of my favorite cutscenes from one of my favorite games just so you know (check my profile for a hint of the game it's from).
