...Just a Bet

Turning To Friends

Before the fireworks can go off, the clouds suddenly started to form and lightning strikes.

It started to rain and everyone had to leave.

Sonic was already in the city town of Pearl-Reef. He fell and cried on the sidewalk as he felt his heart broken.

That was when Grey-sky 'who had to get a souvenir for his father and stepmother' looks to see Sonic as he gasped.

Rika 'who was running in the rain happily' saw him.

Rika rushed to him and shouted simply in concern, "SONIC!!"

The blue hedgehog stood up and in tears shouted, "RIKA!!"

The two stopped as Grey-Sky rushed to them.

Rika asked in concern, "What happened?"

Grey-Sky asked sternly, "What the hell did he do to you?"

Sonic then explained as his heart ached more and Tails 'seeing his best friend a wreck, "H-He never loved me. He was just using me as a bet to get together with Julie-Su. I was just a stupid bet to him."

He broke down in tears as Grey-Sky's expression was filled with rage as Rika said in an offended tone, "Boy! He did not!"

Tails simply said in shock, "Ouch!"

Rika repeated offendedly, "He did not!"

Grey-Sky growled angrily and said, "I knew there was something not right about the way he was asking you out. Gggrrr!! I swear people who harm my friends will perish!!"

Tails 'trying to calm down the enraged wolf ' said, "Grey-Sky! No! Don't go Enraged-Grey on us! Last thing this vacation needs is more drama."

Grey-Sky 'trying not to let the rage get in him' said, "But he hurt Sonic!! I don't forgive anyone for hurting my friends.."

Tails calmly replied, "I understand Grey. I'm just as upset as you and Rika."

Grey-Sky sighed deeply before he looks at the fox as Sonic sniffs as Rika hugged him.

Sonic asked, "Rika? I'll take that room now if Midori doesn't mind."

Rika answered sadly, "Sure bud. Come on let's check you in Mako-Mato Hotel. That's where we're staying."

Sonic nodded and replied, "Okay. I...I don't think I can face him after what happened."

Tails replied, "No need. I'll get your things while you check in Midoris hotel."

Sonic replied sniffs, "Th-thanks buddy..."

Rika and Grey-Sky then walked off with Sonic as Tails had an angered look on his face and muttered as he went back to the hotel, "Not Cool Knuckles. Not cool."
