Chapter 1: Sonic
Hey My Little Mobians! So this is a book that GreenDragon16 and I are writing together, so please go check her books out! They are amazing! Anyway, I won't keep you from the first chapter, so enjoy...
Finally, after paying the last of the out of reason bill, the large building in front of me is mine to do with as I please. Sure, it isn't too much to gavel at, it's only a two story grey brick building with a flat roof. The door was old, practically rotting off its hinges. Honestly I'm surprised that it's stood for so long. The old land lord handed me the thin sheet of paper, wishing me luck with the 'new' house. Luck, yeah right, I don't need any with my skill.
I bid the man farewell and step inside. Greeted by the stench of old, soaked wood and mould, I scrunch up my nose. The entryway, like all the house, was bland, white walls behind yellow paint that peeled away from them, dirty, pale flooring that had boards of wood missing. The lights were working now, thanks to my little bro Tails. I had to talk to Silver, since we bought this place together.
Why did we but such a disgusting place? Well, originally we thought it would be a great place to hang out, but now Silver and I have other plans. A while back we met many people who needed help and a place to live. So now we want to make this a home for them.
They all are either at my actual home or Silver's at the moment, until we fix up the place, we don't want them living here.
I walk into the living room, the smell changed into that of fresh wood and paint. Most the house was already finished inside, aside from the entry way that is. I spotted Silver talking to Tails, Amy by the wall, painting it the dark brown we all agreed in. Personally I wanted blue or green but I was out voted for the natural colour. Oh well. "Yo Silver!" I say, snatching his attention.
A silver hedgehog's whose quills stuck out weirdly looked up, a bit jumpy at the sudden call of his name, "Yeah Sonic?"
"It's official, we own the house!" I smiled brightly, showing him and everyone else in the room, the paper saying the area was under our names. "We will have to pay bills but now we actually own the building."
"That's great!" Silver smiled brightly, "So when do you think this will be done?"
"By tomorrow, if we could get Shadow down here to help." I sighed, "Yet he doesn't think this housing strangers idea is smart."
"Well that's Shadow." The silver hedgehog rolled his eyes, "We'll make him change his mind eventually."
"Hope so, we don't have enough room at our real homes so.." I looked around the room, there wasn't any furniture I here yet, since we were still painting and the flooring was still needing to be redone. Speaking of which, "So what do you have planned for the floor? Should we go dark oak to match the walls or...?"
"Dark oak will be too... Dark." A yellow two-tailed fox, Tails, had his arms crossed, "Said Amy anyway..."
Amy hugged my arm, smiling at me, "Of course, I was thinking maybe something more lighter, possibly normal oak."
Honestly I don't have a clue what we should do. Personally I don't understand most of interior design... Or design at all. So I left all this to the others and I did what was needed labour wise with Silver.
Said hedgehog sweat-dropped, "Well... I did most of the work..."
"I was thinking of going with tiles." Tails piped up, ears lowering in shyness.
"Tiles? Tails baby," The pink hedgehog said to him, "tiles are used more for bathrooms or kitchens. Not a living room."
I frown "Hm... What kind of tiles little buddy?"
"Just normal white ones, not the small ones they use in the bathroom." He looked up, almost desperate for the right answer from me.
I smile and set a hand on his shoulder "Sounds good to me! We could put in a rug too to add to the Er... Décor."
"And we can add photos on the wall." Silver nodded, "Like photos of us, the people and stuff."
"Yeah, of course that will happen over time."
"Great! So how long until the house will be ready?"
"With my speed, by tomorrow morning!" I say proudly.
"Just remember to be careful Sonic." Tails giggled childishly, "You don't want to make a mess of the house."
"I won't, you'll see little bro." I took off, grabbing what was needed before starting on the entrance to the house.
It was hours later when Silver walked into the room, by then I was almost done.
"Wow, it's looking good."
I glanced over, shooting him a smile. The room walls were painted a pale sky grey, floors matching that of the stairs and hall, oak wood, and the door replaced.
"Now all you need to do is the roof, need any help?" As if to hunt me about his aid, he started to glow a turquoise colour, before I was lifted off the floor
I laughed lightly, "Thanks Silv, once I fix up the ceiling holes and Tails finishes up the lights were set!
"Awesome!" His eyes shone as he raised me to the roof, "Okay, are you all good?"
"This ought to do it." I hammer the last few nails into place.
"Come on, your moving so slowly!"
"Hey!" I glare down at him "I'm a LOT faster than you!"
"You don't wear metal shoes..." He grumbled, crossing his arms.
"Your fault you wear them"
"I have to wear them, they help me control my power." Once I was done he set me down.
I sighed and stretched "Let's head home."
"Will we do the furniture tomorrow or tonight? Because I can do it tonight"
"Tomorrow, that will give Tails time to finish up the electronic stuff"
"Okay." He nodded with a yawn, "Well, I guess I should go home and make sure no one has broken anything..."
"Yeah same, see ya tomorrow!" With that I bolt out of the house, breaking sound about half way home. Soon I was opening the door to my home. "Guys, I'm home!"
"Sonic!" A small hedgehog, looking a lot like Silver except golden with violet purple chest fur and eyes, ran up to me, hugging me, "Tyler was talking about bad stuff again!"
I sighed, "Tyler!" This little guy is Renny, an orphan I met a few months ago. When I found out he had no home I couldn't just leave him. So I took him home with me and since then I've took care of him. Tyler is the OTHER guy I took in. However he's... Well... Dirty, to say the least.
"Yes Sonic?" A black hedgehog gave me a smirk, his crystal blue eyes shining with mischief. He wore a red singlet with a big white 'T' in the middle and ripped denim jeans, "I was just teaching the squirt about life."
"Yeah well knock it off! He's too young to learn these things." I say irritably.
"Today is the best day, for tomorrow never comes." He continued to smirk, "By the way, Raizor is trying to cook again."
"Oh my god, Raizor!" I run to the kitchen.
When I entered my room a creature appeared in my field of vision. It was hard to know what to call him. Others called him 'Freak' but I wasn't that cruel. He was a scientist experiment gone wrong. He has the body of a hedgehog, the tail of a wolf, cat-like claws and snake-like fangs. He also has the eyes of a dragon. I still don't know what the scientists were trying to achieve, all I know is that they threw him out. And honestly, I feel bad for him. So like the good natured person I am, I took him in.
"Raizor, no cooking."
"But, I'm so close..." His ears lowered, a sigh escaping his chest.
"Once the new house is finished I'm sure you could learn. But for now, let's not burn my home down."
"But I can do it!" He snapped, glaring at me. Oh year, he's bipolar...
I hold up my hands "I know I know, but you do it so well. You seriously make me look pathetic when I cook."
"Humph...." He frowned, "Fine... I can wait..."
"Thanks, how about you all go pack up?" I spoke up as I walked into the living room "You'll be able to move tomorrow."
"Yay!" Renny jumped on the couch, a smile on his face.
"Does this mean the girls at Silver's house will be there?" Tyler looked up from whatever he was doing.
"Well, yes, but we made rules and you will sleep in different rooms." I explained.
"Aww...." He pouted, "No fun.."
"More people?" Raizor walk out from the kitchen, hands behind his back innocently.
"Yes, Silver took some of the other people we offered to help. Trust me, one of them you will be happy she's not here."
"Okay... Which one?"
"Her name is Zero, the second you see her you'll know."
"Okay..." He seemed unsure.
"Ow! Tyler!" Renny yelled, holding his head.
I looked over, "Tyler, do I need to send you to your room like a child?"
"You're not my father." He growled, glaring at me. Renny ran behind my leg, hugging it.
I sigh, these three are handful enough, imagine what Silver has to deal with. Speaking of him, I hope he remembers to lock his door tonight.
