Teary Eyes - A Sonic x Reader

۵ Chapter 6 ۵

Today has been surprisingly calm. There hasn't been an Eggman attack, no one has accidentally awoken a gigantic rock monster and no weird natural phenomena have occurred. It has just been me, all by myself almost all day long. The perfect type of day to just read a good book and do nothing else. Not that I would really do much anything else here anyway. Every day just seems to be me and Sonic talking. Anyway, this morning Sonic told me of his plans with Tails. The two were planning to go race somewhere in the forest and he asked if I wanted to join them. I politely declined and told him I wanted to just chill around today. He understood and promised the two of them would return later today. However, he did insist I don't go too far away from the shack and made me promise that I won't leave the island while he's gone. That all was several hours ago. I don't know how long of a race they were planning but they left at morning and afternoon is well on its way by now.

Because I have no idea where the two could've headed, I've decided my best bet is to check places I do know. My first guess is Tails' house as well as his workshop as that's the closest location to Sonic's shack and definitely the most logical place for them to be. Like always, the forest is humid but not to an uncomfortable point. The smells of the blooming flowers enter my nose and a bee buzzes past me as I make my way to Tails' workshop.

The wooden building quickly enters my vision and I walk up to the door. I knock and start waiting. There are no sounds coming from inside the workshop at all. In fact, the only sounds are those of the leaves rustling against each other in the soft wind. I knock again, louder this time. Still nothing. Walking away from the door and over to a window I peek inside. The workshop is empty. Walking back to the door I pull it open this time and enter the building. Tails did tell me I was welcome to let myself in anytime. Then again, he might have meant his house, but I can't be sure.

In the middle of the workshop is his plane. Tails probably didn't mean that I could snoop around this place but whatever. There might be a clue here as to where they are. On one of the workbenches are several blueprints. I have no idea what they are for but whatever it is requires a significant amount of power. I leave the blueprints be as my attention is turned elsewhere. On another workbench is a baseball bat like device. It has several buttons on its handle and it's entirely made out of metal. Tails probably wouldn't want me to touch it, but it does look kind of interesting.

I glance over to the doorway and peek out the window to see absolutely no one. My fingers reach around the device as I grab it from the workbench. To my surprise, it is very light. Holding it like I would hold a baseball bat, I imagine myself in the middle of an Eggman attack. Robots attacking me from all around and me being the last defense. A beebot flies toward me and I swing the bat toward it. As I do so, my finger presses against one of the buttons. Suddenly the bat feels a lot heavier and my grip on it loosens. The bat slips away from my fingers and straight into the window which breaks on impact.

"Uh oh," I say to myself and run over to the window. Outside is the bat lying in the bushes. Jumping out through the window I land by the bat. I grab the bat and try to lift it only to find it impossible. "What the heck?" I mutter and try again. It wasn't this heavy when I first took it. Why is it now? That's when I notice the buttons on the handle and press one of them. I try to pick the bat up again and this time it happens effortlessly. I get back inside the workshop and place the bat back where I had found it.

As I am about to leave the workshop again to find Tails and tell him what happened, I notice something still covered by a tarp nearby the doorway. I pull the tarp away to reveal Tails' translation module which he still hasn't seemingly fixed. Last I remember, he told me it kept picking up the wrong soundwaves or something like that. Considering Tails hasn't done anything to it yet it's probably not a high priority. Or maybe he forgot it.
