“AAAAAHHHhhhhhh!!!!” Sonic tumbled as he fell down the tunnel. Stone and moss zipped past him as he spun head over heels through the air. With a hard thud, he hit the bottom of the cavern. He stood a wobbled slightly, rubbing his head and steading himself against the stone wall of the cavern. “OWWww.” He groaned, shaking his head. The cavern was dim, lit by the glow shining through the tunnel Sonic had fallen into. Slick moss lined the floor, and the hard packed dirt of the ground was damp. Sonic had only one option: Go forward. And he did. The light grew fainter as he walked, the ground getting dryer. Suddenly, it got brighter. Sonic gasped. The cavern continued into an underground hallway, steel lining the roof and walls and floor, like some kind of Laboratory or Military base. Sonic rubbed his eyes. He continued walking, his feet tapping lightly on the ground. ‘CLANK’ Sonic looked around. The CLANK sound happened again. Sonic followed the noise, as it continued and grew slowly louder. Eventually, he stopped where the hallway opened to a door, and the door was open. He looked around the corner. A cluttered work desk was against the far wall, and a water cooler was nearby. Someone was seated at the desk, with two twin tails twitching, and a socket wrench whirring. Sonic grinned. Of course, Sonic was Sonic, so he wanted to sneak up on Tails. He did. Just as he tapped Tails’s shoulder, Tails spun around, with a GUN. A gun, pointed at Sonic’s face. Sonic jumped back. “Woah buddy! Don’t shoot me okay, I was just trying to- uhhh-“ Tails glared at Sonic, gripping his gun with both hands. “Who are you?” He demanded, glaring harder, “What do you want?” Sonic blinked like he had just been told he couldn’t run ever again. “Heh, uhh, ya-ya-ya-you… You’re joking r-r-right?” Tails blinked in confusion Sonic gripped Tails’s shoulders. “You don’t remember who I am? How do you not remember who I am?! I’m your best friend!” Tails wrenched away from Sonic and gripped his gun harder. Sonic sighed. Tails looked at Sonic’s face, then at his gun. He sighed, and uncocked it. Sonic looked up hopefully. Tails exhaled. “Okay,” he said, looking Sonic in the eye, “Just keep your hands off.” Sonic gave a thumbs up. Tails cocked his head. “I think you’ve got me confused with somebody else.” Sonic raised an eyebrow. “Uh, no. I only know one fox with sticky up hair like yours tails.” Tails blinked. “My name is not TAILS. Sure, I have Two tails, but my name is Tail.” Sonic blinked. Tail’s wrist watch beeped. “Oh great,” Tail sighed, standing up, “Come with me.” Sonic cocked his head, but followed. To be continued…
