Sonic's Pov
I got up from bed to the sound of a notification from Terios. He's so sweet. I texted him good morning and left for the kitchen. I was gonna make Tails some chocolate chip waffles with sausage on the side. I heard a groan come from the hallway as I took the plates of food and sat them on the counter of a table. Tails groggily rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"Morning, Tails!"
"Morning...", he sleepily replied. I chuckled and ate while on my phone. Terios won't tell me his actual name and it's driving me crazy. I sighed and put down my phone, grabbing my plate and then grabbing Tails's plate. I started washing the dishes quickly and Tails was suddenly walking towards the door.
"Hey, Rouge. Hi... Shadow.", my ears perked up at Shadow's name.
'What is he doing here?'
My mind was racing now, he probably just came because Rouge forced him. I could hear them walk in, mostly Shadow though, because Rouge flew into the room. Rouge's usual outfit didn't surprise me. It was a shirt with a heart cut out meant to show her chest, while her pants were pink and fit perfectly. Shadow's outfit was also his usual, a pinkish purple and white shirt with dark grey sweats.
"Hey Rouge! What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I wanted to tell you that Eggman is planning to attack soon. This time, with a new plan.", she sounded serious, not her usual flirty tone.
"We didn't have time to stay, unfortunately," Shadow added. "We were simply sent to retrieve a chaos emerald from his grasp."
I looked back toward Rouge, "Do you know when he's going to attack?"
"No, we don't. He probably will attack soon though.", she responded. "But it's just a guess."
She comfortably sat on my counter. I also noticed that Tails had left the room, probably because he was scared of Shadow. I don't know why though, Shadow isn't that bad once he gets comfortable.
"Ugh, he always wants to fight all the time.", I stated while walking out of the room. Rouge followed me into the living room and decided to mess with Shadow.
"Hey Shadow~", she said in her flirtatious voice. He looked at her with his monotone face.
"What?", his voice going monotone. He glared at her before she spoke.
"How's your little boyfriend?", his face flushed red while she chuckled. "Has he texted you yet?" She poked his face making him smack her hand away.
"He's not my boyfriend! We are just talking!", his face was redder than Knuckle's fur. To be honest, I think he's adorable. I just laughed making him more furious, but I didn't laugh to make him mad, I laughed because I found him blushing cute.
I decided to speak up, "So you're gay?"
"Yes, but I don't like any of your friends.", he replied, "Or you."

My face flushed as Rouge had called me out for talking to someone. Yet, Faker just seemed to laugh. I couldn't believe he looked a little sad when I said I didn't like him. I could feel how hot my cheeks were, but it soon died down. I know that I am not ever going to tell anyone my true gender. Mostly because I'm trans, but I grew up as a guy. I'm not truly gay, but since they think I'm a guy... you know.
Soon, there was a loud crash outside. Miles ran out of his room while looking at all of us, we all headed out soon with a look at the battlefield. I could hear the Doctor's voice in the distance. We ran off to where Rose and the echidna were already fighting. Faker and I headed toward the Doctor's bigger robot while Rouge and Miles went to help Rose and the echidna fight the smaller robots. I believe they are called badniks.
Anyway, Faker started to speed up leaving me to catch up again. He smirked leaving me to roll my eyes and shake my head.
I had caught up with him. I fought the giant robot in front of me, starting with a spindash, Faker doing so also. I started to throw chaos spears as the Doctor couldn't dodge inside the big heap of metal. The robot was supposed to resemble him I guess, mostly since it had his face. We both started to beat him up, his robot slowly falling apart. This left him to eject with his floating vehicle. Defeated, the Doctor started yelling from the distance.
"You blue rodent! I will defeat you next time.", the man yelled quite loudly. My ears being oversensitive, twitched at his yelling.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what you always say, but it never happens." Faker sneered up at the Doctor. "And it never will. Plus, I'm a hedgehog." Faker seemingly mumbled the last part to himself.
As the Doctor flew away; everyone gathered up together, except for me. I don't like being in big groups, so I stayed off to the side. Everyone was congratulating Faker, but he kept on trying to say that everyone helped. We all know that he loves the attention though. I took out my green chaos emerald, teleporting home. My usual outfit had been worn out from how many times I had worn it. The black sweats were now a dark gray color along with my purple and white shirt, which was now more pink than purple. I took off my gloves and shoes before climbing into bed. I grabbed my fluffy, white blanket. Snuggling up, I brought out my phone and texted Maurice.

I looked around, but I couldn't find Shadow anywhere. Knuckles seemed to notice also since he walked over.
"Hey, what're you looking for?" he asked slightly interested.
"Shadow, I was going to thank him for helping, but he must've left." my frown soon turned into a cocky smile as I continued, "Welp, I guess I will thank him another time."
I turned to walk back home, but a voice caught me off guard.
"Hey Sonic! Do you want to go shopping with Cream, Blaze, Rouge, and I?"
I turned around and there she was. Amy wearing a red dress with a white, lacey trim around the edges, and a rose behind her left ear. She usually wears that dress often.
"I would love to, but that battle wore me out!" I chuckled as I left, saying that I would next time. She sadly smiled but continued on her way. I left for my house, quickly stopping at the door. I walked inside and found that Egghead gave me a nasty scratch. I went to clean it up, but it stung so badly. I walked towards the bandages in my bathroom to clean up the scratch. I started cleansing it with some hydrogen peroxide, which just made my side sting worse. I then grabbed the bandages, gently wrapping them around my waist. I walked towards my room and got into my bed. Hopefully, some rest will help.
