Me and Tails got a bit older. He got better at speaking. He got way better at science and gadgets, signaling to me that he'd grow up to be the brains of the two of us. I got over the death of my uncle, but I never forgot him.

We met a pink hedgehog named Amy, who... ugh... has a persistent crush on me and constantly harasses me. But that doesn't mean I hate her. She's great with her Piko Piko Hammer, and is pretty strong on her own. She loves nature and is loving to every big or little animal she meets.

We still reside in the cave, much to Mrs. Picture-Perfect's dismay. I still go on runs, but not as often as I used to. I hang out with Amy and Tails a lot. Tails is now 7 years old, by the way. Me and Amy are both 12 years old.

Today, me and Tails were on a new plane that he recently invented called the Tornado. We were taking it on a test run. "WOO!!!!!" I cheered, having fun as we flew above the ocean. "Aw, yeah! This new plane you built is way past cool, Tails." I commented.

"Thanks Sonic! This baby is built with the need for speed, exactly like you!" He replied. "Well, it's exceeded its function, Tails! WOO!!!!!" I cheered. "At least Amy isn't here, huh?" asked Tails jokingly. "And the fun doesn't last long." I deadpanned at him  playfully, rolling my green eyes as he laughed.

"Uh.. Sonic?" He asked cautiously. "Yeah, Tails?" I asked. "There's a red...whatchamacallit coming straight for us. It's gliding faster!" warned Tails. "Then go faster-er!" I said. I looked behind us and recognized the species instantly.

"Dang it, we're dead! That's an echidna! I thought those were extinct!" I realized.  "A whatinda?" asked Tails. "An Echidna! They're extremely strong! I didn't know there was one left, let alone an anthropomorphic one!" I informed.

"Well, what do we?!—" Tails paused as the Echidna punched me off the plane. "SONIC!" He cried. I plummeted to the ground, but didn't die somehow. I growled as I realized his friend. My uncle's killer- Eggman!

"Where are my manners?" He asked tauntingly, coming between me and the echidna.

"Sonic, Meet Knuckles."
