        "...wha......where...?"

Slowly, the blue hedgehog opens his eyes. Only a little bit, just to make sure he was okay and not flying around in heaven. He still had a weird, floating sensation in his body, which made him quite disoriented, and it was still hard to breathe. Wearily, he glanced over at the shadow. Shadow was still unconscious. He couldn't tell where they were located, but it was definitely... not space...? Where was he?! He thought about looking around, but it hurt to even think. He lifted his head no more than a centimeter... aaannnddd he put it right back down. He suddenly felt very dizzy (and a bit nauseous), so he gently closed his eyes, hoping to escape whatever was making him feel this way. However, before he went to his happy place, he weakly opened his left eye one last time to see... a GIRL?! When did she get there?! He tried to send this through his mind, but this made him feel worse, so he just closed his eye and tried to forget that he even saw anything. Not long after he closed his eye, he fell back into a deep sleep.

Y/N's POV

        His eyes are opening. Finally! Wearily, he opened them, and I finally saw his sparkling, emerald green eyes... looking straight at me. Wait, what? Why is he looking at me?

        'He doesn't seem to be focused,' I thought. 'Maybe he doesn't notice me.'

        "...where...?" He paused. I waited. He turned his head... and saw me. Of course he did. Well, if his eyes we're sealed shut before, they weren't now. He just stared at me in shock... and then he screamed... which somehow woke Shadow and brought him back to Earth. I must say, and I'm not afraid to admit it, that Sonic's scream was probably the most pitiful-sounding girlish scream I have ever heard. He shot straight up from his position, which must have hurt him more than he thought it would because I heard a small moan escape him. He held his head with one hand and gently gripped his stomach with the other.

        "Y-you!" he stammered. "I-I saw you! Where am I?!" He sounded like he was going to faint at any second.

        I reached over and gently held onto him so that he didn't fall over. "I figured you did. You're in a bed, recovering from your little trip to space, and be careful when sitting up! You're still recovering, and we don't want you to get sick."

        "I'll keep that in mind," he said quietly, blushing a little. He already sounded queasy. Wonderful.

        "Oh," he said. "Who are you?"

        "My name is Y/N. Nice to meet you, Sonic!"

        "Nice to meet you too," he managed to say. Wow, he must feel really sick. He didn't even realize that I already knew his name!

        I could hear footsteps to the left of me. Those footsteps were headed toward Shadow, who was already asleep again. Oh no, what is she going to do now? The footsteps stop, and I am pretty sure now that I was the only one who heard them. There is a silence, a long, awkward silence. I just stood there, and then I realized that I was still holding Sonic. Blushing, I gently let go. I didn't know what to do, so I just stood where I was.

        Silence.

        "TIME TO WAKE UP, SLEEPY HEAD!" Shadow jolted up and screamed. It was a manly scream. Thank goodness. Once Shadow was fully awake and not distracted by the pain shooting up his body, I tried to talk to him.

        "Sorry about that," I said. "That is B/F/N, my best friend."

        "Nice to meet you," he mumbled to B/F/N. Of course, there is another awkward silence.

       "Well then," I said, trying to break the silence. "How about you two chit-chat with each other. After you all recover, we can show you around!" Only then did I realize what I had said. "Show you around." Maybe B/F/N wouldn't explain...?

        Suddenly, Sonic looked a little nervous. "Wh-what do you mean 'show us around?'" I shot B/F/N a look, hoping she would get the memo.

        "You know," B/F/N said. "Show you around the planet!"

        Of course. There goes that idea.

        "The planet?" they both asked simultaneously. "What do you mean 'the planet?'"

        I was starting to freak out. I had to do something. "Uh... I'll explain later. Right now, though, you all need to recover. I don't care what you do, just stay in bed."

        With one last goodbye, B/F/N and I left the room. Once we left the room, I started thinking about what I had said. 'I don't care what you do, just stay in bed.' Why in the heck did I say that? They were already arguing inside.

        This was going to be fun.
