Chapter 9: He Seems To Be Awake

SOINIC'S POV

I had a not terrifying, not nerve wrecking, not creepy, what's the word… unsettling dream. In it, I was running, which isn't the unsettling part, in fact I love running. It's in my name. The unsettling part was that I couldn't stop, no matter how hard I tried. It was like my feet had a mind of their own. I saw my friends, but whenever I came close, I would speed up, until there was no one else but me. I was all alone. You know what, I'm going to move on. Anyway, when I awoke, I was partially refreshed, but still felt a little drained. I noted that my feet were moving beneath me, but I wasn't going anywhere. As my tired mind processed what was going on, I jolted to full awareness when a thought crossed my mind. That wasn't some silly dream, it said, that was real. That thought reminded me that a dream was reality. And not the good kind of dream at that. Like I said before, it's not that I hate running, I love it, but I don't like the thought of not being able to control my own legs.

"Looks like Sonic's nap isn't slowing him down at all. He's going even faster." Chris said. I was?

"I've never see anything like it. His energy is positively boundless." Chuck commented. I wished that statement was true.

"Sonic has more power than my food processor." Ella added. I would've talked with them, but by now I was panting just to get enough air into my lungs, and I could feel a stitch forming. I was out of breath. The thought entered my head unconsciously, and it was like a part of me was teasing myself.

"Sonic, that wheel wasn't meant to withstand this intensity!" Chuck yelled at me.

"Knuckles! Look out!" Tails screamed. Speaking of him, where is he? As the supports broke, the wheel went forward and I rolled over something. By the moan of pain, I guessed that it was Knuckles. Found him. Unfortunately, the wheel tipped over and began to cut into the ground. I felt something wet…

"Run!" an alarmed voice echoed down to where I was.

"Whoa!" I yelled as the water pushed me out of the hole. I took off like a bullet the instant my feet hit the ground.

AMY'S POV

We were all standing there. Chris, Chuck, and Ella all made similar comments. They were all about how Sonic had boundless amounts of energy. They didn't hear what I heard. I glanced at Tails; he nodded, meaning he heard it too. I couldn't believe it. Sonic pant while running? Impossible. But here he was, doing exactly that. Chuck yelled something about intensity of steel or wheel or something like that.

"Knuckles! Look out!" Tails yelled, his scream jolting me out of my thoughts. I watched as Sonic accidently ran Knuckles over, the only one who could've saved him from becoming a pancake, was the hedgehog in the wheel. The wheel tipped and began cutting a hole in the ground. We all heard the loud rumble.

"Run!" Chuck yelled, and we hightailed it out of there. Just in time, too. If we had been standing there, we would have gotten soaked by the spray of water. "Well that was a washout," he muttered.

Okay, I bet a lot of you are amazed at the (Dang Space Bar!) fact that I'm posting a second chapter today. Of course, probably half of you are reading this tomorrow, but hey, who cares. The Hidden Flare, thank you for telling me your gender, now I shall never get you confused. Anyway, the reasom I told people to attack was because... I don't know, but I'm calling off the attack. I hope you enjoyed your meal, please come song was sung by Demi Lovato, and I don't have reason why I chose it, considering it's weirdness. I'm feeling bored and generous (gives hug to everyone). At least half of you guys have probably guessed some stuff, but couldn't review (trust me, I know). So this is for all you guys. Oh yeah, one more thing. ShinyShiny9, I know you know where chapter title came from, you said it (if I messed it up a little, sorry). Fun Fact: this chapter was originaly going to be called 'Best Morning Wake Up Call Ever'. Happy Memorial Weekend! (Yes, I'm now going to say this all weekend.)
