The grass was blowing peacefully in the wind, the sun shining brightly upon it as the birds chirped. Suddenly a blue bullet whizzed by with the sound of snickering, causing the grass to be blown in its direction. Sonic was running as fast as usual laughing and enjoying the peacefulness, it wasn’t often that Sonic was able to get time off from defeating Eggman. Unfortunately fate has other plans for Sonic, as he ran he took a deep breath of air before stopping. As he let his heart slow down his yellow fox friend caught up with him while saying with a slight pant, “Wow, I’ve never felt this free in a while.”

The blue hedgehog turned around and gave the flick of his nose as he said, “Hey, it’s the first time in about twenty years that Eggman has taken a break, although something is a little up with that.”

Tails rested his hand on Sonic’s shoulder as he said, “Let’s not let that get us down. Let’s just enjoy the day.” Almost as though he had said the magic words, a large black portal opened up next to Sonic. The blue blur could feel the sudden pull of its gravitational force sucking him in.

Sonic grabbed hold of the grass as he shouted, “You had to jinx us right?” Sonic began to panic as he felt the grass rip from under him, his heart racing as he tried thinking of a way to get out of this situation. Before he could react though, the grass gave in and the blue hero tumbled into the dark void before closing. Leaving Tails alone to panic and wonder where his best friend had gone.
