The Past affects the Present

Arrival

TW p@n1ck attack in the first paragraph and then will be mentioned a few times after

Quick note regarding something in this AU. Sally has never met Tails. Sonic met Tails shortly after the whole war thing. Also reminder quite a bit of the information regarding the war will be from other fanfictions I've read so if something doesn't line up that's probably why.

Sonic Pov

I awoke to see that I wasnt at my house and I instantly panicked then after a few moments I remembered what happened and slowly realized I was at Shadow's house "Morning Faker" I heard behind me "Morning to you too Shads" he then sat next to me and offered a cup of coffee which was surprisingly good. We sat in a comfortable silence with my head resting on his shoulder and his head on mine, we stayed like this for a while until I got a call from Tails "Hello?" "Hi Sonic so quick question?" "Sure fire away" "Do you know anyone by the name Sally Acorn?" and just like that everything went down hill "Sonic?" I froze, my breath started to become uneven and old memories that were surpressed rise back to the surface. The walls felt like they were closing in on me there was also a ringing sound and I started hyperventilate even more "Faker? Can you hear me" I nodded "Good" he then slowly breathed in and out and told me to try matching my breathing. Shortly after I calmed down I blacked out.

Shadow Pov

Im not entirely sure what triggered Sonic but it clearly had something to do with whoever Sally Acorn is "Hello? Sonic? Someone?" Oh right Tails "Sonic is fine dont worry however you might wanna call back later and refrain from using the name Sally Acorn around him" "Oh ok is it fine if I stop by later?" "Later works" "Ok bye Shadow" "Bye Tails" when he stops by later I can ask him why he asked that for now I have Sonic to worry about.

Tails Pov

"Sorry your gonna have to talk to him later" I said to a squirrel mobian who apperently went by the name Sally "Thats not ok! I dont think you understand how important it is for me to talk to him!" I backed up a bit since she was clearly angry "Ok well if its so important then why dont you tell me?" "Because it doesnt concern you" "If it involves Sonic then it does concern me" she looked at me for a moment before saying "Do you know someone named Knuckles?" if she means the same mobian im thinking of then "Is he an echidna?" "Yes"

How does she know him? I'll have to ask another time "Sure let me just see if he can come" "Tell him to bring the Master Emerald as well" what the?! Who is she and how does she know my friends so well? "Hello?" "Hi Knuckles this is urgent" "Whats so important that your calling me" "Well do you know anyone by the name Sally Acorn" silence is all I heard for a while till he said "Where did you learn that name" "She is literally here and was asking for Sonic but something happened and then she asked for you and she said to bring the Master Emerald and I want an explanation as to how she knows that" once again im met with dead silence "I'll be right there" then I went and told 'Sally' that Knuckles is coming.

Sally Pov

I needed Sonic but Knuckles works I wonder what the relationship between this fox and Sonic are? Since he was so keen on finding out but we dont need more casualties plus he would probably just end up robotisiced. Which if he is close to Sonic would probably worsen his mental state if he did end up robotisiced.

Kunckles Pov

Why the hell is Sally here?! Sonic probably had a panic attack, I'll have to check on him but first I need to find out why Sally is here. What's so important that she came to find us, unless.... No he couldn't have decided to some after us after all this time....Right? I snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed I arrived at Tails' house. Luckily the Master Emerald can turn small otherwise it would have been a pain to carry it all the over here. I knocked on the door and waited for a little then Tails opened the door "Hi Knuckles you have some serious explaining to do" His tone surpsrised me since I've never heard Tails speak so bitterly yet in such a happy voice. However as soon as I walked in and saw her it all went to hell.

 "Hi Knuck-" "NO YOU DON'T GET TO FINISH THAT SENTANCE!" I saw her step back a bit but I didn't care "I was just trying to be nice" "Why are you here?" I didn't bother hiding the hatred in my voice. "Robotnik decided to try to conquer more land and that just so happened to be here" I could hear the displeasure in her voice, at least we had mutual hate for each other. "Wait like Eggman?" I forgot Tails was here "Who?" Sally looked dumbfounded "He's talking about Kintobor and no Tails it's not Eggman" It was only now did I realize the others were also here. Now, I don't have a hatred for the rest of them mostly just her as to why well.. "Knuckles explain to me who these people are" I turned to see Tails looking impatient and angry. I sighed "Fine but you might want to sit down for this". I then went on to tell him about everything, or almost everything since I wasn't gonna betray Sonic's trust that easily.
