S1 Chapter 14: That's What Friends Are for
(A/n: Before the story starts I want to let everyone to know that Sonic will get little to no screen time in this chapter.)
(Actual chapter)
At the white house the President and his aide were reading the article called "Eggman Base Destroyed!"
Aide: This is great news, Mr. President. And it couldn't have come at a better time! Now, you're sure to be re-elected!
President: I don't know about that.
Aide: Huh?
President: I'm not the real hero of the story, look closer.
Aide: Huh?
The aide looked at more of the article and it had a bunch of pictures of either Sonic or Y/n.
Aide: Sonic and Y/n!
The aide turned on the TV and a bunch of scenes of either Sonic or Y/n and then the aide shouted in frustration.
Aide: If we don't act fast, sir, they'll elect either Sonic or Y/n President!
President: Huh, I'll have to find myself a real job.
The aide walked closer to the President's desk and slammed his hands on it.
Aide: We've got to do something right away!
President: Now, now, let's not overreact about this, just stay calm.
The aide started pacing.
Think, think, there must be something we can do.
President: If I may, it might be good if Y/n was elected President, he seems smart and responsible.
Aide: Are you kidding me!? We can't let our country be lead by a psycho serial killer like Y/n!
???: Aham.
They both turned and saw Y/n was leaning against the door way with his arms crossed.
Aide: Oh, uh, Y/n, I didn't mean what I said, I-
Y/n: Save it, I'm here to speak with the President.
President: Is it about how that you now paid of your debt to Society so now you have no more reason to stay on our team?
Y/n: Actually, I would like to make a small request.
President: A request?
Y/n walked closer to the President's desk and kneeled down to him.
Y/n: I would actually like to stay on your special forces team as an agent.
President: Wait, really?
Y/n: Yes, that time at the base was probably the most fun I've ever had with anyone.
Y/n smiled sincerely.
President: (Thinking: He's smiling, he's never done that before.) Okay, you're request has been accepted, Agent Y/n.
Y/n: Thank you.
Y/n got up and was about to leave.
President: But, seeing as you've paid of your debt to Society, I can actually pay you like a real agent.
Y/n: Do what you think is right, Mr. President.
Aide: Ah, that's it, I know.
President/Y/n: Hmm?
Aide: It's a brilliant idea!
Y/n: What is?
Aide: We'll host a black-tie charity ball in celebration of our recent victory!
Y/n: So basically, we're celebrating the fact that we killed a man?
Aide: Uh.
Y/n: I like it, I'll be sure to be there.
Aide: Okay, see you there.
Y/n ran out of there.
President: I agree it would be good, but what does a victory celebration do to solve our Sonic and Y/n problem?
Aide: We're going to make Sonic and Y/n the guests of honor! We'll invite the media, get in a couple of photo-ops, that kind of thing! It'll be in all papers. All over the cable news talk shows. The President, Y/n and Sonic. The dynamic trio battling together against the forces of oppression. Once the voters see that you, Y/n and Sonic are buddies your approval rating will go through the roof! There's no way you can lose. Your re-election will be a sure thing. I'll have the staff get started. We'll make sure all the television reporters get personal invitations to the free buffet tent.
The aide walked out the door, shut it and left the President to sigh.
Y/n, Amy, Tails, Cream, Chuck and Cheese were sitting in the living room.
Chuck: So, you're a government agent?
Y/n: That is correct, I was with the special forces team to blow up Robotnik's base.
Amy: But why wouldn't you tell us earlier that you're a top secret agent? Wait, that makes a lot more sense when I say it out loud.
Chris walked in.
Chris: Hey, Y/n, a letter came in for you and Sonic from the President.
Y/n: And let me guess, Sonic ran off.
Chris: Yeah.
Y/n: (sigh) Give it to me.
Chris gave Y/n the letter and he got out the paper and read it to everyone.
Y/n: You are cordially invited to a black-tie charity ball.
Chuck: Hmm, sounds interesting.
Chris: It's addressed to Y/n and Sonic, but it says right there they can bring as many friends as they want!
Chuck: Well, then in that case, I say we dust off our best party duds and make it a day.
Amy/Cream/Chris/Tails: Yeah!
Y/n: Wait, either me or Sonic needs to approve you going first.
Everyone else: Uh...
Y/n smiled a bit.
Y/n: I'm kidding, you can all come, even you, Rose.
Amy: Really?
Y/n: Yeah, I'm in a good mood today.
Chris: Thanks, Y/n!
Tails: We really appreciate it.
Amy: I bet they'll serve lots of yummy food there. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
Amy started to drull at the mouth.
Tails: Me too!
Sonic busted the door open.
Sonic: I'm back.
Chris: Hey, Sonic! Guess what. You won't believe it, the President's giving a party and you're invited!
Sonic: I am?
Chris: (nods) And all of us get to go too. It'll be fun.
Sonic: When is this party?
Chris: On Thursday.
Sonic: Can't make it.
Chris: Ah, why can't you?
Sonic: I promised Helen we'd hang out.
Chris: Helen? You mean the girl in my class?
Sonic: Yeah, that's the one, she's a friend of mine.
Chris: I didn't know that.
Y/n: Chris, I stop by your school every once in a while to check up on you, which girl is Helen?
Chris: The one in a wheelchair.
Y/n: Oh, I think I know who you're talking about now.
Sonic: I met her over at the lake.
Flashback.
Sonic was running by the lake until he saw Helen with her wheelchair stuck in the sand.
Sonic: Oh!
Sonic ran to her and got her out of the sand.
Sonic: Hi there!
Helen: Thank you. Oh, you're Sonic, aren't you?
Sonic: You've heard of me?
Helen: Of course. I've heard of you and your brother, Y/n.
Sonic: We're not brothers, but I see how you could get confused. What's your name?
Helen: Helen.
Sonic: Pleasure to meet ya.
Helen: I come here a lot. I love to look at that island.
Sonic: That one over there?
Helen: Hmm-mmm. My father says it's filled with the the most beautiful flowers. All different kinds. He always promises he'll take me there. But he... he's always busy.
Sonic: Don't worry, I'm sure he'll take you there one of these days.
Helen: I don't know. My dad doesn't seem to ever have enough time for me. I'd go myself but...
Sonic: You really want to see that island, Helen?
Helen: Of course I do.
Sonic: Then I'm gonna take you.
End flashback.
Sonic: I promised. Oh, I've got a lot of work to do.
He ran to Chuck.
Sonic: Hey, Chuck, I need some life jackets and a boat.
Chuck: Check over in the storage room.
Y/n: Leave it to you to have people throw you a party and not show up, Faker.
Sonic: Faker?
Y/n: Well, it's clear you're just a fake version of me.
Sonic: If anyone's the Faker it's you, pal.
Y/n: Well, I was born a year before you, so you're my fake.
Sonic: Look, we can talk about this later, I got work to do.
Sonic ran out of there.
Y/n: I need to find a suit.
Mr. Tanaka showed up out of nowhere.
Mr. Tanaka: Perhaps I could be of assistance.
Y/n: Well, okay.
Later.
Tails was in a blue coat and a red bow tie and Y/n was wearing a black suit, black pants, and a black neck tie.
Tails: These are actually pretty good, Mr. Tanaka.
Mr. Tanaka: I picked them out myself.
Y/n: I like mine, but...
He took of his tie and replaced it with his gray scarf.
Y/n: This is more my style.
Mr. Tanaka tried to take the scarf off him but Y/n tightly and firmly grab his arm.
Y/n: The scarf stays.
Mr. Tanaka: Right, of course.
The two met up with the others and Amy was now wearing a longer red dress over a while vail along with red heels while Cream was wearing a pink dress.
Y/n: You look lovely for the event, Cream.
Cream: Thank you.
Y/n: Now listen, when we get there stay close to me, okay?
Cream: Okay.
Chuck and Chris were finally ready.
Chuck: If we're all ready to go, the limo is waiting for us outside.
Y/n: All right, let's go.
Later.
They all got out of they're limo and a bunch of people started to take pictures of them until the top aide pushed them out of the way.
Aide: Here's our guests of honor. Huh?
He didn't see Sonic.
Aide: Hey, Y/n, where's Sonic.
Y/n: He had other plans, but he sends his regards.
Aide: What?!
Chuck: To the party.
Y/n: No, first we thank the host for having us.
Chuck: Oh, right.
Aide: Just go a head, the President will be here shortly.
Y/n: Okay.
Camera man: Well, if Sonic's not coming to this clam bake I'm getting out of here!
Y/n took the camera man's arm and held it to his back.
Y/n: Am I not good enough for you?
Camera man: No, no, it's nothing like that! I'm just more of a Sonic fan, that's all.
Y/n: The President was nice enough to invite you to this party, now return the favor by staying here and enjoy yourself.
Camera man: Okay! Okay! Okay!
Y/n let go of him and rejoined his party.
Tails: You know, Y/n. Now that you're apart of our team, you're gonna have to take things more lightly and be a little nicer.
Y/n: Yeah, but that's going to take some time.
Cream: It's okay, take your time.
Y/n: Thanks, Cream.
When they got inside they saw a bunch Buffet tables and what does fancy clothes people at them.
Y/n: I didn't realize this party would be this packed.
???: Y/n!
Rouge flew to him and she was wearing a dark purple dress and hat.
Y/n: (sigh) Rouge.
Amy: You know her, Y/n.
Y/n: Yeah, this is Rouge the Bat, a fellow agent and my partner.
Rouge: I see you brought some friends. Who might you all be?
Y/n: The pink failure is Amy Rose, the fox is Tails, the boy's name is Christopher or Chris for short, this senile old man he's with his grandfather Chuck, and the rabbit is called Cream along with her Chao Cheese.
Cream: It's nice to meet you, Rouge.
Rouge kneeled down to Cream's height.
Rouge: It's nice to meet you too, sweetie.
The President finally showed up.
President: Y/n, it's great to see you.
Y/n: It's great to be here, Mr. President. Sorry Sonic couldn't be here.
President: That is quite alright.
They both shook hands and the paparazzi started to take lots of pictures.
President: This is my best agent right here, folks.
Rouge: Now that you're done with this, is it cool if I take him for the rest of the night?
President: Sure thing, Rouge.
Cream: Can me and Cheese join you?
Rouge: I don't see why not.
All four of them went to a buffet table.
Cream: This stuff looks really good, do you think they would mind?
Y/n: No, it's all for us after all.
Cream: Really?
Rouge: Of course, sweetie.
Y/n: Here, I'll help you out.
Y/n put some crabs and carrots on her plate.
Y/n: Here you go.
Cream: Thank you.
Y/n smiled.
Y/n: Anytime.
He also cave a piece of cheese to Cheese.
Y/n: And some cheese for Cheese.
Cheese: Chao, chao.
Rouge: I'll get us some drinks. What do you want?
Y/n: I'll have an orange soda.
Cream: I guess I'll have one too.
Rouge: Coming right up.
She flew off and after a few seconds she came back with three glasses of orange sodas.
Rouge: Here you go.
Cream/Y/n: Thanks, Rouge.
Rouge: You know. Us taking care of a kid together.
She wrapped her arms around Y/n's arm.
Rouge: It's almost like we're the mom and dad for tonight.
Cream: What?
Y/n freed his arm.
Y/n: Don't get ahead of yourself.
Rouge: Can't even open up to your partner, can you?
Y/n: Look, can we just enjoy tonight.
Rouge: I guess we can.
A few hours later.
Man: Where's Sonic, you said he'd be here!
Aide: And he will.
Y/n: So, I guess I really am just not enough.
Cream: To me, you're more than enough.
Rouge: Same here.
Cream: Um, Y/n, where's the bathroom.
Y/n: Uh.
He saw a man walking.
Y/n: Excuse me, sir. Are you going to the bathroom.
Man: I am.
Y/n: Can you please take Cream here with you?
Man: Sure. Come along, missy.
Cream followed the man.
Rouge: Now that she's gone, maybe the adults can have some fun.
Y/n: Well, I do actually have something for you.
Rouge: For me?
Y/n: Yeah.
He went in his suits pockets and pulled out the light blue and yellow Chaos Emeralds.
Rouge: My, my, you shouldn't have.
Y/n: You can pick one to take and I'll make a fake to replace the one you took.
Rouge: Really?
Y/n: Yeah, there will be a time when I come back for it.
Rouge: I agree to these terms. I'll take...
She took the light blue one.
Rouge: The one that reminds me of my light blue boo.
Y/n: Okay.
Rouge: But now I feel bad because I didn't get you anything. Or did I?
She kissed him on the cheek.
Y/n: What was that?
Rouge: You haven't been kissed before? I'm honestly surprised.
Y/n: I wonder what Sonic's doing right now.
With Sonic.
Sonic was running with Helen from a bunch of officers on hover bikes.
Sonic: Thought you'd catch me, did you?
They continued running and Sonic jumped them both over a small cliff and they found themselves on the island of flowers.
Helen: Dad was right, Sonic. They're the prettiest flowers anywhere.
Sonic: I'll pick some for ya, Helen.
He was about to pick one.
Helen: Don't! Leave them just as they are. I want to come back with my mother and father and maybe Y/n too.
Sonic: I get it. That way, it will be just as beautiful.
Back at the party.
The aide was on the phone.
Aide: What's that? He did? The what? The chopper?
Y/n: What does Sonic do when we're not around?
They all heard a helicopter outside.
Aide: What now? Ah!
They saw Sonic with Helen outside.
Aide: It's Sonic. He came after all!
Y/n crossed his arms and smiled a bit.
Y/n: About time you got here, Faker.
Sonic: It's great to be here, Y/n.
They both shook hands and Y/n noticed Helen.
Y/n: You must be Helen, great to meet you.
Helen: It's nice to meet you too.
The President walked to Sonic.
Y/n: While they're doing that, let's talk for a bit Helen.
Helen: Sure.
Later.
Y/n rushed Helen home.
Y/n: You can take it from here, right?
Helen: I can, I'll be sure to tell my parents about the great time I spent with you and Sonic.
Y/n: Helen, I'll promise you something right now. One day, I'll find a way to fix your legs so you won't need this chair anymore.
Helen: Really?
Y/n: It may take six months or six years, but one day, I will do it.
Helen: Thank you, Y/n.
They both shared a hug and they parted ways with that.
To be continued.
