On the island, Sonic and friends were hanging at Mehburger, though there was intense emotions towards Sonic.

Because in Hedgehog Village, things took a different turn on this fateful day.

Normally the team would be talking about, Saving the village, having their ridiculous moments, and also their usual hobbies. But their talk went beyond pleasant.

"Okay. So anyone up for soccer?" Sonic asked his friend friends.

The four friends looked at him with bored faces.

The silent treatment was a bit, awkward.

"What? Do I have something in my teeth?" Sonic asked 'showing his teeth'.

They still gave him the silent treatment while looking at him.

"Okay, what is with the silent treatment?" Sonic asked.

"Sonic don't take this personal, but you could get a little competitive sometimes." Tails said as his expression went from dull to upset expression.

"Wait... What? I'm not that competitive." Sonic protested.

"Yes you are." The four said.

Sonic was a little shocked by it before he could even say anything, Amy stopped him by putting her hand in front of him.

"Let me stop you there Sonic. Look, it's not that we don't want to be friends with you Sonic it's just... We need a break from you." Amy said 'trying not to hurt Sonics feelings'.

Earlier that day, Team Sonic was fighting Eggman 'his evil plan was to turn the whole village into his slaves by using his usual robot minions'.

Luckily Team Sonic saved the day. Though there was one flaw, Sonic was making cocky jokes about how Eggman 'SUCKS'!

Eggman protested how Sonic is such a overly competitive player.

some of the villagers agree to it. That was when Sonic and the team finish defeating Eggman.

The evil doctor does his usual 'So long losers!' Before he flew away.

Sonic then said a cocky yet ego-like and snarky comment just after Eggman left.

Though 'said comment' really annoyed his friends while they groaned.

Now here they are at Meh Burger having a little conversation going wrong.

"Okay, seriously? I thought you guys would always tolerate my cocky and cool attitude." Sonic said 'with a real shocking expression'.

"You call that cool? Sonic your snarky talk is really getting out of hand." Tails said with an upset tone.

"Yeah Not cool Sonic." Knuckles said just after Tails.

"Sorry Sonic. Nothing personal, we just wanna have some time away from you." Sticks said as the four disperse.

"So what? Are you guys bailing on me?" Sonic asked. That was when the four friends walk to him in an upset way.

"Well sorry. But, we cannot tolerate this Sonic, your cocky behavior is getting really old. Besides we have been putting up with your cocky behavior long enough." Tails said.

"Tails, I have been sticking up for you and this is the thanks I keep giving?!" Sonic said in frustration just after he gasped.

"Sonic, he is right. You need to mature a little bit. Until we are satisfied and refresh from your cocky behavior, you are not going to hang out with us again. Not even one of us." Amy said with her mature but slightly irritated tone.

Sonic was stunned by it before he can reply, the group disperse.

"By the way, don't talk to us or look at us until we are done having our time away from you Sonic." Knuckles said to him.

Though he raised a brow as he sees Sonic looked away from and he coulda sworn he blushed a crimson red.

"Huh? What's up with you now Sonic? Are you...?" Knuckles asked in an irritated tone as Knuckles walked to him with a raised brow.

Though he stopped when Sonic had a nervous look as his face got even more red.

"NO! JUST, UHH!! GOTTA GO! SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW!!" Sonic shouted as he speeds off.

"What was that all about? Did I have something on my face?" Knuckles asked himself as he rubbed his face.

"Geez, wonder what got Sonic so nervous. In fact, he's been acting so... Nervous towards me. Now that I think about it. After that whole 'Designated hero' thing. Sonic has been pretty nervous around me. And I was the only one that came back for him." Knuckles said to himself as he sat down on a bench nearby.

It was true though, Knuckles looked back and stood there until Tails and the girls were out of sight.

He decided to pity Sonic. But what happened next changes things between them.
