The Merhog Prince

Chapter 1

Tails P.O.V

I wake up and notice that Sonic' s still asleep.

"Another midnight run?" I question as I walk down the stairs and prepare breakfast. I have to make more than normal since the gang is coming over. As I finished mixing the batter for the pancakes, a knock is heard at the door. I place the bowl on the counter and answer it. Of course Amy is the first one here. She's like a sister to sonic like how he's a brother to her (They have a brother sister relationship for a reason).

"Hey Tails!" She says happily.

"Hey! Come on in, Sonics not awake yet." I say.

"Another midnight run?"

"Yep."

"Go figure." She says not surprised. We walk into the kitchen and continue making breakfast together since she insisted on helping. I can't deny her, the woman can cook as if the food came from heaven itself!
Another knock was heard at the door and I go to answer it. Knuckles and Rouge where there holding hands. They got together a few months ago. You could tell that they loved each other for the longest time. Then finally Knuckles made a move. He hit a homer with that one. I mean, you can't blame the guy, have you seen Rouge!

"Hey hun!" Rouge greets me.

"Hey Rouge! Hey Knuckles! Come on in." I invite them inside.

"Where's Sonic?" Asked Knuckles.

"He's still sleeping. Another late night run." Amy chimes in from the kitchen.

"He's going to run himself dry if he don't quit this." Knuckles says while crossing his arms.

"Knucky, you know that's just how Sonic is. Besides, you know what it's like to stay up all, night, long." Knuckles blushed redder than what his fur already was at Rouge' s comment. Amy finished making breakfast and we all began to eat when a knock at the door was heard.

"Must be Shadow." I say as I get up and walk to the door.

"Hey Shadow!" I greet him. He stares at me and then walks past me without saying a word.

Once everyone has eaten we sit around and chat while waiting for Sonic to get up.

"We should go on vacation or something so we can just relax for once in our lives." Rouge said.

"Yeah, but where?" Asked Amy.

"How about the beach?" Everyone looks over at Shadow in surprise.

Shadow P.O.V (Before he got to the house)

Tails invited me and the rest over to his and Sonics for breakfast and of course I said yes..... or well fine. For some reason I was excited to see my rival. My heart beat quickened as I used Couas Control and appeared in front of the house. A smile crept onto my muzzle but I decided to hide it before I knocked on the door. Tails answered,

"Hey Shadow!" He says. I look at him and then pushed passed him. Seems like Amy made pancakes, so I grabbed some and ate it. I wanted to ask where Sonic was but decided against it. They all where talking till something about a vacation came up,

"We should go on vacation or something so we can just relax for once in our lives." Rouge said.

"Yeah, but where?" Asked Amy. We all thought for a minute. Then it came to me,

"How about the beach?" I suggest. Everyone turned and looked at me like I grew a second head,

"What?" I questioned coldly.

"That's a great idea!!" Tails and Amy screamed at the same time.

"What's a great idea?" Asked Sonic as he came down the stairs while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

'He looks cute when he does that...... Wait what?! Why am I thinking about my rival like this?!'

**a few minutes after explaining**

Sonics P.O.V

"What?!" I yell as they told me the plan for the vacation.

"Look Sonic, we know you hate the water and can't swim, but it would be fun. You don't even have to get in the water." Amy tried to explain to me. I wouldn't listen and I just ran to the woods before anyone could stop me. I heard them yelling for me to come back but I just ignored them. Once I made it to my special place I stopped.

"Damn it!!!" I yelled while punching a tree.

"Why the beach of all places?! I would love to go home but, if everything is still bad then..... Ugh!!!!! Let me just...." I trail off as I waved my hand as the water floats out in front of me and swirls in a circular motion

"Vaser in meyn bafel vayzn mir meyn im heym land (water at my command show me my sea homeland.)" I chant. The image of my kingdom appears. It shows that the Darkmers are still in control of my kingdom and I see them killing some of the innocent lives that live there. I gasp as I witness the brutal murder,

"Heylik drek (Holy shit)....." I say as I slip into my native tounge. I see my father and mother chained up in a dungeon along with my brother and sister. They all have marks on their of injury bodies. I feel my anger and sadness rise as I swipe away the images away. I then sat down and brought my knees to my chest and began to cry and after a few minutes,
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you then. But I will save you now!" I stood back up wiped away my tears and ran back to the house.
