The rest of the day went fast since Sonic was stuck in only one place that the next day was upon him quicker than he expected. This time Sonic was sat in the main dining hall in Zone jail, it seemed to get even worse because he had a hard time on breakfast too, all the food was mouldy and lumpy and yet everyone acted like they were idiots. 'There has to be a way to get out of here' Sonic thought as he kept on playing with his food that was displayed infront of him not realising that Scourge sat next to him noticed everything.

"Suck it up!" Scourge announced "if you cry, then they'll beat you." This remark made Sonic look up to see non other than Scourge next to him.

"Why are you giving me the heads up Scourge?" Sonic questioned as he looked at Scourge as curiosity surrounding him.

"Well I don't like to see men cry" Scourge amswered trying his best to cover up his feeling for the cobalt hedgehog.

" I'm not crying" Sonic stated in an annoyed way as his face was turned into a frown.

"Whatever" Scourge plainly replied as Sonic went back playing with his mushy lumped food that was beginning to have mould run across it. After not having anything to eat they were send to the front yard where Sonic sat down and rested against a wall. It was so hot out here amd worse yet sonic could stand the heat, nor could he stand the feeling of hunger invade his stomach. The heat began to make him feel sweaty even his back when it was against the wall. Sonic looked around and saw none other than Scourge who caught his attention, he was outside too but instead of lounging around he was playing baseball. Sonic looked back down to the ground feeling slightly dehydtrated ftom the heat wave, he looked back up as he heard the ball being hit as it flee over the fence.

"Wow he's really good" Sonic thought outloud as he watched Scourge walk all the way around the bases.

"Whatever" Scourge protested as he over heard Sonic, this made Sonic jump out of his skin a little.

" who said that" sonic asked as he looked around not realising that it was Scourge who said it.

"It was me dumb ass" Scoyrge announced as he looked at him, Sonic looked back at Scourge who just rolled his eyes and looked away.

"Oh" sonic sheeplishly acknowledged as he started rubbing his head, Scourge just rolled his eyes andwalked away from thr cobalt hedgehog.

"This is weird; Scourge hasn't tried to beat me up all day" sonic thought outloud again but as a whisper instead as he watched scourge walk away.

"Hey dumb ass!" Shouted a voice catching Sonic's attention from Scourge.

"I'm not a dumb ass! anyway who said that!" Sonic shouted in mad tone. one guy grabbed his arm, while the other was punching him: Sonic tried to get away but couldn't. "Ahhh!" He was punched in the stomach "fuck!" He winced as he felt his stomach churn "urgh" sonic then started coughing up blood it was then that Scourge came in punched all of them, the guys ran away.

"Wh-why did you help me?" sonic asked as he looked at Scourge as bloody started to roll from his mouth and drip to the floor.

"Oh i didn't know you were there" Scourge replied as he grabbed the baseball off of the ground "they took my ball and I got pissed off at them" Sonic wiped this lips that was cascaded in blood from the guys who had punched him.

"Really?" Sonic asked as Scourge nodded "well thank you" a smile erupted ftom his lips as though he had just won the lottery.

"Whatever" Scourge accounced before he started to walk away. Sonic watch Scourge walk away 'Was he really mad about the ball' sonic thought as he stood up and walked inside since it was now lunch, Sonic walked over to the tables with his food on a tray until he saw Scourge sat by himself . As an instict and as to be safe the hedgehog walked over to his green counterpart.

"Can I sit by you?" Sonic asked causing Scourge to look up at him and roll his eyes before sighing.

"Just don't talk to me" Scourge threatened as he looked away and took ahold of his food..

"Ok" sonic said sitting quietly next to scourge, Scourge was just sat there cleaning his sun glasses. Sonic just played with his food once again since he didn't want to eat it. 'Man really go for a chill dog right now' Sonic thought as Scourge look down and saw a chili dog laid upon his plate.

"hehe my lucky day"he announced as he grabbed ahold of it, Sonic looked over to see that scourge had a chill dog instead of him.

"where did you get that?" Sonic asked as he looked at the hot dog cover with chilli sauce as he was almost drooling at the sight of it.

"I know the lunch lady" Scourge replied as he was about to take a bite of it until he got disturbed..

"what did you do to get it?" Sonic questioned as drool started to dribble out of his mouth as he stared at the chill dog within Scourges hands. He moved the chilli dog away from his mouth and growled slightly in annoyance.

"nothing you should no!" Scourge shouted as he was about to bite into it but saw Sonic looking at it and sighed as he placed the hot food down.

."Can i have some of that please?" Sonic asked with poppy dog eyes. Scourge rolled his eyes and gave him the whole thing and started to walk away. "wait!" Sonic stopped him by grabbimg his wrist earning a small blush from the emerald hedgehog. Scourge looked at him before looking away and tried not to listen as he tried towalk away. "I didn't want to take all of it" Scourge looked at him and saw the hedgehog look down sadly.

"fine" Scourge said taking it as he took a bite of it and give it back. Sonic took a bite too but then gave the rest to scourge

"Umm thank you scourge" sonic thanked as he looked away from Scourge slighly blushing.

"have it you may want it, it may be the last" Scourge said with a small smile as he got his wrist back and started walking leaving Sonic stood there blinking. It was late and Sonic was late for shower time, he walks in the locker room and saw no one there so he got himself ready for his shower.

"Good I can shower alone" sonic said with a small sigh as he headed to to the shower, but he was not alone, Scourge was still in the shower washing his hair. Just as sonic walked into the shower he saw scourge standing there under the shower and blushed.

"Scourge" Sonic whispered as he finally stopped himself from looking at emerlad hedgehog. Scourge didn't hear him from the shower, he was just washing his body. 'What is he doing here Igot to get out of here' Sonic thought backing away with red face. Walked out of the showers before hiding.

"God at was great!" Scourge shouted until his gaze was cause by something blue trying to hide, he walked over to it and saw Sonic hiding behind a wall trying not to be found and chuckled catching the other's attention.
