Sonic's Birthday (Break Through It All)

Break Through It All

"You sure he'll like this?" Knuckles seemed to smirk as they approached Vanilla's house.

"Of course!.. well, I hope so," Tails seemed nervous, Amy hugging his shoulders.
"Of course he'll like it! He never shuts up about them! We all heard it on the Starfall Islands," she laughed as the fox knocked on the doors.

A miniature version of Vanilla appeared, Amy beaming.
"Hey Cream! Is Sonic still here?" She asked, a blue rushing past at that moment.
That answers that question.

"Heya guys! Why you up so early?" He smiled, and Tails laughed a little.
He didn't forget? Did he?

"Happy birthday!" He said anyway, and the blue beamed, before standing there awkwardly.
Thankfully Vanilla appeared at the door.

"Oh are you here to pick Sonic up already? I didn't know it was so early.." she trailed off, Sonic snapping his head round.
"Wha?"

"Oh, we're taking you somewhere super special! As a birthday surprise!" Amy exclaimed.
Again, the blue was left feeling awkward, so he left to get ready.

"Yeah it's quite a while away to the you-know-what, and the set's pretty early today to make room for a bigger one," Tails explained it the best he could, when Sonic rushed back down.

"Ok kids," Vector grinned, "I'll drop you in, but I'll be sure to stay at the complete other end, out of your way," the croc promised as they got into the car, waving goodbye to Vanilla, Cream and Charmy.

"Where are we going?" Sonic asked, Tails rolling his eyes.
"You'll find out," he muttered, Vector looking through some CDs.

"You're so old," Knuckles let out a chuckle, "No one listens to CDs anymore."
"I do," Sonic protested.
"Yeah, well, that's because you're obsessed with music," the echidna teased, earning a look from Sonic, "I bet you have record and cassette players as well,"

"Here kid, why don't you pick one out?" Vector handed them to the back, the blue flicking through them.
"What about this?" He held out one that said 'rock mix' on, Vector grinning.
"I put this together when I was a little olde then you guys," the croc smiled more, putting it in as AC/DC started playing.

"Oh great, Dad music," Knuckles grumbled a bit, Amy chuckling.
"Hey at least it's not So Much (For) Stardust again,"

"Oh yeah," Knuckles laughed, "Who would have ever guessed that this guy listens to emo music. I always thought Shadow did but..,"

"No, Shadow likes metal, specifically industrial. And Taylor Swift, apparently," it was Sonic's turn to laugh, remembering how bad he hid his excitement about going to see her with Amy.
Man, I wish I could go to see my favorite band.

"Right, here we are kids!" Vector grinned as they reached a car park, the croc going to pay.

Knuckles looked over to his friend sat sketching something in his notebook.
"Lemme see that!" He reached over Amy and yoinked it from him.

"It's all owls," he laughed, "You have issues,"
"No I don't!" The blue went to playfully punch him, but the echidna stopped him.

"These are really good Sonic!" Amy flicked through the drawings, before coming across a rant page.
"Oh boy, here you go." She quickly handed it back, the two blushing in embarrassment, "I'm going to pretend I didn't see that,"

Vector returned, slapping the little slip on the front of the car, and the four made their way to a building,

"Wait, a stadium?" Sonic wondered as they walked to the front, the blue spying a poster, reading it

"Oh my chaos!" He shouted shouted, "Sleeping With Sirens is here! On... ah man, it's today. And at this same time. Huh, what a coincidence.." he continued to think about it, before shaking it off.

"Oh well, I'm sure they'll be here again,"

Are you for real? Tails looked across at Amy, who also deadpanned.
"Here," he handed the blue a letter, making him laugh a little.

"You know, you guys really have a habit of giving me envelopes as presents" he laughed as he opened it, pulling out some sort of ticket.

It took him a second to understand. "AHHH!" He shouted, "You guys! You're the best!"
"We'll miss them if we don't go in soon," Vector warned as they rushed in, crowds of people whispering amongst themselves wondering who the heroes was here to see.

Walking into the right room, even more people looked and stared.
"Right kids. I'll be right over there, at the other end, come find me if you need anything," Vector explained, before leaving.

The four were stood on a balcony area, a little quieter then the downstairs area, non of them, besides Knuckles, keen on joining a mosh pit.

Vector suddenly returning, balancing four cups of Chaos Cola. "Here kids," he set them down on one of the tables at the back, where the group was currently sitting, "You guys just gonna chill here?" He grabbed something else and tossed it to the blue, "Here, happy birthday"

Unfolded it, Sonic discovered it to be a blue, red and black Varsity jacket, with a large SWS logo on the back.
"I thought we could just cut holes in the back for you quills," the croc laughed.

"Thank you so much," the hedgehog smiled, feeling awkward again, Amy taking a look.
"Here, I carry an emergency sewing kit with me, I'll sort it out,"

The gig was about halfway through by now, Sonic completely engrossed.
Tails had somehow fallen asleep, Knuckles went to join Vector in the mosh pit, and Amy was just happy to be there.

That was when it took a turn when Kellin Quinn himself announced that it was a special birthday.
Oh chaos no.

But sure enough, he heard his name, and before he knew it, they was preforming happy birthday.
As awkward as it was, Sonic couldn't contain his excitement about it, turning back to Amy, who was filming.

"And I know you'd break through it all because they fire in you never dies,"

And that made this day the best birthday Sonic had ever had
