Chapter 3

  
   
PoV: Knuckles

  Sonic had a huge smile on his face. He had just beaten us all in a video game.

"Yes! First place!" He cheered.

"What do you wanna do now?" I asked as the game returned to the title screen.

"Don't know. Any thoughts?" He looked started cleaning up all the games we had play.

"How about the Mania Zone?" I suggested, his smile only got brighter.

"Yeah!" Sonic finished cleaning in seconds. It was just the two of us right now. Mighty and Ray were busy at the moment, if I could get Sonic out of his house they wouldn't find us all day. Sonic grabbed my arm and I just hoped not to puke as he took off. We made it the the mania zone, an area of moebius where the gravity was at its strangest. Pieces of the earth were floating about and the lad made perfect runways for Sonic to play in. I grabbed him the threw him up onto to ramp.

"You don't want to come up here?" Sonic asked, he was standing upside down at the moment.

"I'll just watch you. There's no way I'll keep up with you," I laid down, and this gravity will make me puke thanks to his bringing me here all over excited.

  I watched Sonic run wild. He spun around and jumped through rings like he's never going to see tomorrow again. He might not... with Eggman around. What am I saying?! Sonic's too powerful for that.

  I pushed those negative thoughts from my mind and kept watching the streaks of blue the multicolored sky above. Sonic took hours before he started yawning. He always took a nap around three. He was still young, but he took naps like a little kid. He fell asleep on one of the ramps.

"You can't just sleep out here. You'll catch a cold like last time," I climbed up to get him and carried him on my back.

"...mm..." if felt him shift against my neck as I carried him back to his house with Tails.

"You guys are back already- Sonic fell asleep again," Tails laughed, "no surprise. It's only a quarter past three."

"Yeah, he fell asleep on a ramp again," I carried Sonic to bed and laid him down. I pulled off his shoes and covered him with his blanket.

"You guys went to the manic zone again. Sonic loves that place almost as much as he loves greenhill," Tails shut the door behind us as we walked out, "Do you think you made any progress?"

"No, it's the same friendly smile he gives everyone," I sighed.

"Maybe you shouldn't try being so subtle. Try something a little more romantic, but not too much," Tails began thinking to himself, "You took him out for dinner once and then Eggman attacked, so maybe try that again. Sonic likes spaghetti, take him to a nice Italian place."

"Isn't that a little cheesy?" I asked.

"You're going to need all the cliches we have until Sonic gets the hint."

"I'll try it."

"I'll set it up tomorrow."

PoV: Ray

  An Italian dinner. Well it's a good thing pasta is Mighty's specialty. I jumped down from the window I had been listening through. I was supposed to wait for Sonic to get back and call Mighty, but since he's asleep I got to eaves drop a little. I started walking to the store when mighty was waiting.

"You'll have to cancel dinner Knuckles. Cause Mighty has a date with Sonic."
