"𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐏𝐀𝐋𝐒, you need to start talking right now. who are you? what are you?" donut lord sounded almost angry but you figured it was probably just the anxiety (he still thought you were aliens that had went to earth to abduct him).

"i'm a hedgehog and she's a [animal]! I feel like that's obvious." sonic explained from the passenger seat as he pointed behind at you.

you flashed a smile at the man as he turned around at your mention.

you had decided to sit behind as you wanted all the space for yourself, and definitely not because it felt weird setting so near sonic.

"and we're in big trouble." added the hedgehog making you nod eagerly.

"oh, you're in big trouble? you're not the one who punched some government weirdo back there." made you notice donut lord, you tilted your head ready to add your own point.

"actually, that government weirdo probably wants to dissect us-" you stopped to think for a moment before you resumed with your talk "uh-him"

"what? why only me?" sonic got up on his seat to turn fully around, looking at you as he kept himself up thanks to the side of the chair.

"'cause you're the one with the powers and all" you explained and you watched as he took his time to think too, still a little mad that he was the only one that they wanted to dissect.

"but if it makes you feel better they probably want me too now that they've seen me" sonic's eyes shoot up towards you "two aliens are always better than one"

your response was serious and the blue hedgehog actually didn't know what to respond.

"wha- no,no- i don't want them to dissect you too, i was just worried about all of this and- oh my god the rings!" you observed sonic's face as his expression changed a couple times, finding it weird how someone could feel all those emotions and be able to show them all together.

"rings? what are you talking about?" donut lord was confused like never before and you leaned yourself between them to explain everything to him

"listen, rings are how all advanced cultures, like us, travel between worlds."

"and now mine are on top of a pointy building i've only ever seen on your skintight t-shirt!"

the man replied with an offender 'hey' at sonic's comments and you looked between the two of them.

"so, we'd like you to take us to san francisco so i can get back my rings and use them to go to the mushroom planet." you moved your focus on the hedgehog as you thought about how you've never told his that you would've go with him.

did he just knew that you would've followed him everywhere now that you had finally found him?

or was he just not thinking like always?

meanwhile sonic was begging the universe that what he said was true, that you would've go with him on mushroom planet.

that he wasn't ruining everything by talking to much.

donut lord repeated the name of the planet a couple times and you could hear the slightly exasperated tone.

"yes!" 

"right..." the man didn't believe you, or he didn't want to.

you could see it in his eyes.

and hear it in his voice.

but sonic couldn't, too focused on wanting his rings back.

donut lord pulled over the side of the road, you looked out of the windows to have some clues about where you were but there was only lots of grass.

"okay pals" he opened the passenger door "out you go!"

he mentioned for you and sonic to leave the car and even thought you had imagine it sonic looked at him like he was crazy.

"i'm sorry, what?" he asked the man.

"look, this is the worst possible time for me to get myself into trouble, okay? you asked me to save your life, i saved your life. now, please, go find your rings and your mushroom land. hopefully I'm gonna wake up in a hospital bed and the doctor's gonna tell me that my colonoscopy was a big success." you grimaced at his last phrase but it didn't stop him from proving his point "okay? so, goodbye."

"okay. goodbye."

you weren't expecting sonic to agree so fast so, as you get out from the back seat, you came to the conclusion that he had something in his mind.

"goodbye" replied donut lord.

you and sonic remained still, looking at the man but not moving from your spot.

"why aren't you leaving?" he asked the two of you.

"we don't know where san francisco is." responded the hedgehog.

"it's west." his response was short and quick, and you thought that it would've hurt sonic in some way.

but it didn't.

"west?" repeated the blue mobian.

"straight shot, can't miss it."as the man talked he pointed with his end towards west, you looked at him until you felt something on your hand.

you looked down seeing sonic hand on yours.

"fine, that's cool. i'm totally cool saying goodbye now." before you knew it sonic pulled you towards him, catching you in bridal style and turning around.

running with you in his arms.

you looked around you as the view changed from grass to three, to fields and more.

it was beautiful.

you looked at sonic, he was looking ahead, the sun hitting his face creating a beautiful pink-ish light on his fur.

his eyes reflected the sky and the sun.

the wind almost didn't exist for him, he was probably going to slow too feel it.

you felt like you couldn't move your eyes away.

a small smile appeared on your face.

you opened your mouth, taking a small breath to say something.

and then water hit you face.

you felt it fall into your throat and you cough it out as you were quickly back on the ground.

well, sonic was.

you spatted some algae from your mouth and you kept coughing in your fist as sonic kept on running.

"are you stupid or what?" you shouted at him.

"i thought you saw the immense expanse of sea that was in front of us." he explained, you couldn't understand if he was teasing you or he if he was seriously justifying himself.

still you ignored his comment as you spatted some water in his face.

he made a disgusted sound, moving an hand away from you to clean his face.

for a second you felt your own self fall down but then his hands were both back on you.

"did you just forget you were holding me?" you questioned, your gaze on him.

he didn't met your eyes, nervously chuckling.

"wha-no!" he tried to say.

then, finally, you noticed the fish on his head.

you chuckled, hiding your smile with an hand.

sonic eyes shot down on you before he looked in front of him again.

finally arriving back to donut lord's car.

"so" he started, letting you bring your feet on the ground "as we crashed into the cold, dark water of the pacific, i realized a few things. a, we have no idea where we are going. b, saltwater stings. c, we shouldn't even be on this planet right now, but we are! why?! because you shot us!"

as he shouted at the man you slide your hands down your own self, trying to push away all the algae from your clothes.

"i know." the man took an expression of guilt and you knew sonic had him in his hands.

"you shot us!!!" you rolled your eyes at sonic exaggeration looking behind you shoulder to see if you had something on your back.

"all right, i heard you the first time. you don't have to... pile it on. good grief."

you didn't even respond to donut lord as you turned around, looking towards sonic.

"we're wet" repeated sonic pointing with the thumb to the both of you "personally, i'm cold"

you moved your hands towards his head, taking the fish from its tail and throwing it away on the grass behind.

"there was a fish on my head! and clearly, we're not going to be able to do this on our own." his eyes almost became bigger as his tone started to sound more like he was begging.

donut lord sighed, you knew he had brake "all right, get in the truck."

"really?" asked sonic before shaking himself off, his fur puffed and you felt the need to touch it.

but thankfully you resisted.

"you're gonna help us?!" you and sonic questioned together, sonic a little more happy than you as you were genuinely confused.

"i guess it is a little bit my fault that all this is happening to you." confessed the man.

"not a little bit. entirely. it is entirely your fault." added sonic, hoping that the guilt of the man would be on his favor.

"hundred percent your fault" you smirked as you crossed your arms on your chest.

"okay, it's entirely my fault. are you coming?" the man had a smirk of his own, and you copied it before moving yourself on sonic as he shakes himself again.

his fur going back to normal, you were about to open the back door before an hand gripped your wrist, dragging you with it.

"yes" replied sonic as you were both seated on the passenger seat.

one of his arms behind you shoulders as he squished you against him, his other in a fist in front of him.

"road trip! whoop, whoop!" he shouted happily.

"what am i doing?" asked himself donut lord.

you tried to respond with some sarcastic comments but sonic squished you more, laughing against you.

and for some reasons, you didn't feel the need to hit him in the face.

finally it felt okay.

him hugging you was okay.

and maybe, just maybe.

it was gonna be enough.
