Me: Well here we are folks the first chapter of The Football arc of the this story.

- Sondash: Return -

Sonic woke up to the sound of a door closing. He looked to the side. A man in a white uniform and carrying a clipboard entered the room.

"Who are you?" Sonic asked nervously.

"I'm your doctor, Mr. Sonic," the man said. "I'm here to tell you you're going to be discharged."

"Really?"

"Yup, you're free to go home to your friends and loved ones at any time."

Dash…He hadn't seen her since that day when he had told her he loved her, and he couldn't wait to see her again. Sonic rubbed his nose with his forefinger, grinning, and said, "Great, see ya later, doc…or not," then hopped out of the blindingly white bed and jumped out of the window.

"WAIT!" the doctor cried after him. "You forgot to pay the bill!" But it was too late; Sonic was already halfway across the country, on his way home.

"Darn it," the doctor groaned. "Mr. Swanson's gonna have my head on a platter."

"And why would Mr. Swanson do that?" a large orange swan standing in the doorway asked.

"Mr. S-Swanson!" the doctor squeaked. "I-I, eh, c-c-can, uh, explain!" It sounded more like a question than a statement.

"All right then," Mr. Swanson nodded sarcastically. "Start explaining."

"Well, um, it seems our most, uh, respected patient d-d-didn't pay for the stay here."

"Rebecca Black, that two timing jerk! And after all that lotion I rubbed on her broken foot."

"N-no, no, not Rebecca, it was Sonic."

Mr. Swanson relaxed. "Oh, that guy? He paid."

"He did?"

"Yeah, he paid with a power ring. First day he was here."

There was a few minutes silence. Then suddenly, he burst out, "A POWER RING?" (Remember, like I said before, a power ring is about the worth of a nugget of gold, so…get ready patients. You're about to be having a MUCH nicer hospital xD)

"All right, now put that banner up over there."

"Here?"

"Little to the left…no, no, your other left! Gosh darn it, Fluttershy, left is THAT way!"

"Oh…okay, here?"

"Just a little higher up…and…PERFECT!"

"YAY, I did it!"

"You sure did. Tails, how's the punch?"

Pause. "It tastes amazing. Sonic's going to love it."

"Wonderful, the doctor just called and told us Sonic was recently released, so he should be getting here soon.

"I'm so excited, I can't stand it."

"Same here, I can't stay still."

"When will the others be here?"

"Three minutes at the most."

"Fantastic, let's get ready."

Sonic whooshed down the street, leaving trails of dust and granite behind him as his red sneakers scrapped against the road. He was running at a high speed, higher than normal. He looked down at the watch Tails had given him last year. "1,678 MPH," it read. He grinned.

"Sweet," he laughed. "I've now beat my latest record speed of 1,500 MPH!"

Remember now, it's been three years since the Metarex thing took place, and back then, Sonic ran at 700 MPH. He hasn't grown taller, by the looks of it, but he has gotten faster.

Suddenly, Sonic came to an abrupt stop, using his heels to impede himself. Beside him was a flower store with tulips and sunflowers and roses in the window. He smiled, a thought entering his mind.

Dash dipped a ladle in an oversized, glass bowl and sipped at the punch. It took a second, but she grinned as explosions of flavor burst around in her mouth, partying like there was no tomorrow. She licked her lips and went for another taste.

"How is it?" Tails asked.

"You were right, it's delicious." Dash beamed, wiping punch off her cheek with the back of her hand. "Tails, you're a genius. And I absolutely love the ice cream you added. Is that rainbow sherbet?" (That's what the ice cream's called. DON'T call it "sherbert" or "sorbet",because both of those are wrong – though I called it "sorbet" (pronounced: Soar-bay) all my life. It's pronounced "Sherbet!" I looked it up ;P)

"Aw, thanks, Dash. And yes it is," the boy chuckled happily, puffing up with pride. "I made it sherbet flavored punch, of course."

"Well, duh, obviously" she laughed. "I hope Sonic likes the chilidogs I made him." She glanced at the table, which had twenty hotdogs smothered in chili, all perfectly prepared.

The door opened and Rarity sauntered in. Knuckles and Shadow were right behind her, practically drooling over her figure. She was dressed in a crimson dress in a completed the fashionable outfit. The girl lifted her shady sunglasses, inspecting the room with her mischievous dark blue eyes. Her face was caked with foundation, mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow, Dash noted and Applejack became jealous of Rarity. And wait, was that blush on her cheeks, or was she just happy to have fan boys? The sky blue girl cringed. She never had held a taste for the arts of makeup.

"The star is here!" Rarity said in a singsong voice, flashing a pose, as if there were cameramen lurking nearby. Knuckles pretended to be annoyed, but it was hard when he was right behind her, where she looked the hottest, according to him, thus making Applejack blush in jealousy.

"Great, you made it! Silver is in the back getting napkins with Trixie," Dash nodded. "All we need is Sonic, and the party can begin!"

"Oh my gosh," Fluttershy gasped from the window, "here he comes!"

Dash said, "TURN OFF THE LIGHTS! TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!"

Tails flipped the switch and the lights went off.

The door creaked opened slowly. "Hello?" a familiar voice, which melted Dash's heart, called out. "I don't remember it being so dark…although, it has been about six months since I was last here...so..." (Oh, don't act so surprised. We all know Sonic spends more time running and napping in trees than hanging out in his own home.)

Tails flicked the lights back on. "SURPRISE!" everyone yelled, smiling happily as they watched the shocked blue hedgehog look up at the group of friends. A tiny smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Dash ran up to him and threw her arms around his neck, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Welcome home, Sonic," she whispered in his ear.

Sonic put one hand on her waist, holding her close as if he never wanted to let her go. He turned to the group. "You guys planned all this, just for me?" His voice sort of cracked at the end, which alarmed him tremendously.

"Actually," Rarity admitted, "Dash and Pinkie were the ones who came up with the whole thing. We just showed up."

"You're the greatest friends ever," Sonic grinned. They all beamed. Tails ran over and started excitedly introducing him to all the features prepared. He was talking so fast, while smiling so big, Sonic could barely keep up with him and started wondering if his little brother might need an oxygen mask. After a few minutes though, everyone started getting more comfortable with the party and started enjoying different activities available in the house. As soon as Tails finally left Sonic to hang out with Twilight, the blue haired boy scooted back next to Dash. She giggled.

"Do you like it?" she asked, drinking down another cup of the amazing drink.

"I love it! You know, ya didn't really have to—"

Dash shushed him with a sweet kiss on the lips. He really liked this kiss because her lips tasted like one of his favorite childhood ice creams. When she pulled away, she wrapped her arms around his neck again and held him close, his hands automatically wrapping around her waist, as if it was natural to him. But it was natural, and for the first time, Dash felt complete in her life. This thought made her smile wider as she said, "I had to, Sonic, to repay you for everything you've done for me."

"But—"

"Uh-uh, no buts; you saved my life, Sonic! And you also confessed your love for me… It seemed wrong to let that slide without as much as a thank you, Dash style."

Sonic grinned. He let go of her to reach behind his back and pull out a bouquet of roses.

"Well then, I guess I have to thank you as well, Sonic style," he smirked, holding it out to her.

Dash gasped, clasping her hands to her mouth. Tears ran down her cheeks and moistened her gloves, making her palms feel mushy when she gripped the bouquet, even though she does not enjoy girly stuff, it was from her boyfriend.

The roses were of all different colors; dark red, pink, blue, purple, even white – one of the rarest roses on Earth. Dash lowered her head to their petals and filled her nose with their syrupy smells. She sighed shakily, hiccupping and sobbing at the same time.

"Y-you actually went out and…and…and bought me all these…these…these…" she had to catch her breath. "These BEAUTIFUL roses! Blue…and…and….and WHITE? Were do you even FIND white roses h-here?"

Sonic's grin widened slowly until he was beaming with pride. "A heroic boy has his ways," he chuckled, rubbing his nose.

Dash threw her arms around his middle, burying her head in his chest. Sonic could barely understand what she was saying, her voice was so muffled: "S-Sonic, I'm so happy. I've waited my whole life for a moment like this, and now I have it and I have you…" She sniffled a little bit. "Don't ever leave me."

There was only one thing you could say in a moment like this, and Sonic was glad he meant it with all his heart when he said it. "I won't, Dash. I love you too much."

Dash sighed blissfully. She finally had everything. Nothing could ruin her mood.

It was 2 days after the party Sonic and Rainbow Dash were officially together. At school Dash was searching for Sonic who hasn't shown up in school.

"Where is he?" In her thoughts. Until suddenly.

A blue streak passed by her in a speed of sound. Dash got up and found Sonic in front her putting out his hand. Dash accepted it and said ",What was that you were doing?"

"Well I had enough with Patriot on Swimming, so I'm joining Football." He smirked.

"Football? I mean sure he can't swim but why move?" In Dash's Thought.

"Hey Dash I heard there are girls on the Football team, you wannna join?" The blue haired boy asked.

"What he wants me to join, of course!" She thought again.

"Of course Sonic, you know I'm an athlete, so count me in." Dash said.

"Alright lets head to the Athletics Director's office." Sonic said.

The two held hands and are heading off to the director's office. A man in a coach jacket looked up and said ",Hi how can help you two?"

"Yes we are here to join football." Sonic said.

"You too girl?" The man said.

"Yes and its Rainbow Dash sir." The sky blue girl said.

"Okay. here is a package you two must turn in to your coach and you must pay $100 each for your equipment, is that understood you two?" The man with a brooding expression.

"Yes Sir!"

Sonic and Dash left to the counsoler's office to change their schedules from Swimming to Football which is placed to last period.

"Okay Dash are you ready?"

"Of Course I'm ready."

The two went to Coach Patriot to switch with him happliy signing them out and said ", YOU SEE MAGGOTS, THESE TWO ARE JOINING A SPORT UNLIKE YOU PEOPLE!"

"Hope you two can make a difference on the team." The coach oddly speaking calm.

"Sure, goodbye coach." The two waving as they going to the field. Dash can't help to see Sunset glaring at her, but she shrugged it off.

Sonic and Dash arrived to see the entire Football team practicing with a guy in a red collared shirt in white jeans coming to them and said ",So you are the two newbies for the Football team huh?"

"Yes sir coach heres our packages and the money." The two handing over it.

"Excellent you two, come with me to the sport storage room." The coach walking to the gym with Sonic and Dash following behind.

They arrived to the storage room where all the sport equipment is and Sonic and Dash were amazed by the stuff there. Their coach told them to come and they surprised to see a lot of pads and helmets.

"Okay you first Sonic, what position are you gonna play?" the man asked.

"Quarterback."

"Okay." The man gave Sonic two pairs of pants (One for practice, other for the game.), pads for his pants, a belt, Shoulder pads (Small), a Silver Helmet, a practice jersey, a spirit tight shirt with long sleeves and two pairs of long socks (One that is black and could reach up to the knee, the other is white fluffy one with a text saying "SCD.)

"Alright, what about you Rainbow Dash?"

"Wide Receiver."

"Okay." The man gave Dash the same equipment like Sonic's.

"Okay you two come with me to the locker room." The man said going to the downstairs with Sonic and Dash are struggling to pick up their equipment to follow their coach.

The coach unlocked the door to the Football Locker room to have the two dress up to go to the field. "Alright you two if you come out late you will have some Bear Crawls to do, understand?" "Yes Sir!" And with that the door closes and Dash looks at the board with a roster.
