Sonic's Story

Return Of The Siblings

The next day, Shadow, Sonic, and Tails were at home, waiting for Sonic's brother and sister to arrive. Sonic was by the door, pacing anxiously.

What was he supposed to say to them? Was he supposed to greet them when they came? Was he supposed to stay silent and say nothing? They had caused him so much pain in his childhood. Talking to them wasn't gonna be easy. Would he be able to keep Shadow reeled in? The ebony hedgehog was quick to anger, and he blamed Sonia and Manic just as much as he blamed Aleena.

"Sonic, calm down." Tails urged him. "You're running a path on the floor. Everything's gonna be ok."

"How can you be so sure?" Sonic asked him. "What could they possibly wanna talk about? What am I even supposed to say to them?"

"If you're that nervous about talking to them then maybe this is a bad idea." Shadow frowned. "We should just call them back and reschedule."

"I can't, they're already on their way here." Sonic frowned. "And I already said I would talk to them today."

"How are you supposed to talk if you don't know what to say?"

"I don't know!" Sonic cried as he flopped down on the couch beside his boyfriend, hugging him and burying his face into his fur, his voice muffled. "Please, you gotta help me out. Sonia can't be the one doing all the talking."

"Sonic, I don't know how to help you more." Shadow sighed, petting the blue ears. "I'm already helping by promising to stay calm, barely. But one wrong move and I can't promise that I'll go off on them."

Sonic sighed and turned his head out of the black fur. "I know, and I appreciate you trying."

"Look Sonic, if you really don't know what to say, just let them do the talking." Tails offered. "They're the ones that need to explain themselves anyway."

"Tails is right, babe. They're the ones at fault, not you."

"I know... maybe you're right... ok... I'll let them do the talking, and I'll speak up only when I have something to say."

"That would be best." Tails nodded, then looked to the door when they heard a few timid knocks. "It's showtime."

Sonic sighed and nodded, standing up from the couch and going over to the door. He gripped the doorknob, took a deep breath, and opened the door. Standing on the other side were two hedgehogs.

One was an older female, with fuschia pink colored fur and lighter pink hair. She was wearing a dark red dress with a short dark purple skirt and a red sleeveless top. The two sections are separated by a gold belt that forms a pointed shape at the front with a small circle in the center of the belt. Her gloves were long and purple, going up to the elbows rather than the stereotypical white hand gloves. She was also wearing red stockings under dark purple boots, the toes of which are a matching red.

Next to her was a younger male hedgehog. He had green fur and his quills were shaggier than Sonic's and Sonia's. He was wearing an orange vest, black spiked wristbands, white gloves and an orange fanny-pack. His left ear was double pierced in a 'punk' fashion. His blue eyes stared at the ground, not looking up to his older brother, lost and broken.

Sonia took a deep breath, her magenta eyes staring at her younger brother. "Sonic?"

Sonic nodded, his face showing no emotion. "Hello Sonia. Hello Manic."

Manic still didn't say anything, still looking down at the ground. Sonia, however, sniffled a little, and without thinking, she threw her arms around the blue hedgehog for a hug. However, Sonic freaked and roughly pushed her off.
