"Space hedgehog, stay there. Try to rest." Maddie smiled awkwardly, ushering Tom out of the kitchen and closing the wooden door behind them, leaving Sonic and me alone together.

"You got it. Me and (Y/N) are GREAT at resting!" Sonic reassured Maddie, speaking to the closed door.

 "We rest better than anybody. We can literally rest all day, probably even a whole year, to be honest!" he continued, his voice filling the empty kitchen. As Sonic turned his attention to me, I found myself unsure of my own feelings. Am I happy, sad, scared, or angry? I couldn't quite pinpoint it, but one thing was for sure: seeing him right now was stirring up a whirlwind of emotions within me.

"(Y/N)! So how are you doing on this fine day?" Sonic asked, pretending as if everything was normal. I looked at him, my legs dangling from the counter where we were seated. Without hesitation, I wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug.

"Woah, woah, easy on the grabbing! You're pulling my quills!" Sonic squealed, but I held onto him tightly, feeling a sense of comfort and relief wash over me as I embraced my friend.

"Sonic, you scared the absolute hell outta me," I whimpered into his shoulder, feeling the weight of the fear I had experienced. Sonic remained silent, his posture frozen, perhaps realizing the impact of his actions and the worry he had caused me.

"Please don't ever do this to me again. You had no idea how TERRIFIED I was back there," I continued, my voice trembling with emotion as I fought back tears. Sonic held me with care, his touch soothing as he smoothed my quills, pulling me closer as we embraced each other tightly.

"I'm sorry. I can't promise you that, but I'll be more careful next time I try to outsmart Robotnik." Sonic insisted, his voice filled with sincerity. We remained together on the counter, clinging to each other, finding solace in each other's arms after the chaos and uncertainty we had just experienced.

ᴍᴀᴅᴅɪᴇ ᴘᴏᴠ: 💛

I close the door with a theatrical flourish, feeling the weight of the recent chaos as I stand just outside the kitchen. Despite the closed door, we can still hear the muffled voice of the space hedgehog emanating from within.

"Still talking." Tom chuckles, his voice tinged with amusement at the ongoing conversation inside."First of all, can we take a moment to acknowledge how under control I've been?" I announce, my words coming out swiftly, filled with a mix of relief and exasperation.

"Amazing," Tom replies, his tone laced with admiration for my ability to maintain composure amidst the chaos.

"Didn't freak out."

"No."

"Totally calm."

I reciprocate Tom's fist bump with gusto, following it up with an exaggerated imitation of an epic explosion, complete with sound effects. "Thank you." Tom says sincerely, his gratitude evident in his expression.

"Second of all, heheh... WHAT the HECK is going on?! Are those THINGS, ALIENS?" I exclaim, my voice teetering on the edge of panic as I point emphatically at the door, my emotions threatening to spiral out of control.

"Okay, so, remember how Crazy Carl is always going on about the Blue Devil and the (F/C) Angel?" Tom responds in a low tone, attempting to soothe my rising anxiety.

"The Blue Devil and The (F/C) Angel? That's them? They're real?" I reason incredulously, my shock palpable as I mouth the word 'Oh!' in disbelief.

"Dah!"

"What are they doing here, what are you doing here??" I press for answers, my questions tumbling out one after another in a rush of confusion and concern.

"I kinda sorta shot our little blue n' (F/C) friends with your tranq gun," Tom murmured guiltily, his voice barely above a whisper.

"No, you did not!" I snarled, my arms twisted and crossed in frustration.

"I didn't... I didn't mean to," Tom begged for forgiveness, his voice wavering with remorse as he continued in a hushed tone.

"Okay, this is kinda hard for me to explain. And it's gonna sound a bit crazy," he admitted, his fingers gesturing in a way that mirrored his uncertain words, causing a pang of fear to flicker through me.

"They have to get to the Transamerica building, and I promised I'd take them," Tom explained, his explanation only adding to my confusion and disbelief.

I couldn't even bring myself to flinch at this absurdity.

 "Uh-uh? Aliens?" My sister interjected from her tied-up position, still railing against Tom's supposed madness.
"Maddie, your husband's lost his mind. You can use this as an opportunity to leave him. No one would judge you!" she rambled on, but I knew I'd never abandon Tom, no matter how ridiculous he could be at times like these.
