"But Ella! I went shopping last month! I still have a while wardrobe of clothes in there! Besides, it's a Saturday! Everybody and their mother is going to be at that mall! I don't feel like being watched all day like I'm Michael Jackson." I complained, but Ella wasn't having any of it.

"Tut tut! I won't hear another word. Half of your clothes are either stained by soot, have burned hold marks, or both! No child in this house hold will look such a way. Beside, you look so cute when your all dressed up and professional." Ella replies, fixing up her hair as they were getting ready to go to the mall.

I like going to the mall when I'm either getting a new comic series, or some new video games. But clothes shopping....was boring. To me at least. I'd rather pick a shirt was either a cute/cool print on it and call it a day. I only dressed up for a special occasion.

"Ughh! Fine!...But I'm keeping on my boots!" Argues me, stomping my foot two times on the floor powering up her rocket boots. Flying into the living room. There, I saw Sonic relaxing on the couch.

His eyes were closed, but I knew he wasn't asleep. Chris had came from behind me and walked over to him. Holding something in his hands. "Hey, Sonic! I got you a cellphone!" He holds out the phone to Sonic. "This is going to make things a lot easier."

Sonic takes the phone with an unused look. Holding up the phone by its antenna. Staring at it with the most uninterested reaction. "Yeah! Don't you see?Now we'll be able to reach each other right away, even when you're out on a run. We can talk anywhere now. No sweat!"

I just cringe at how.... desperate he sounded. I get it. A super cool blue hedgehog faster than the speed of sound and a legend at butt kicking- I'd want his number too. But basing off of Sonic reaction....He honestly couldn't careless.

"Hey, Chris and Y/N, it's time to get going!"

"We've been waiting outside for you two!"

Tails and Amy had came into the room. Amy with her arms cross, she the grabs my hand and brings me back on the ground. "Oh shoot, sorry Ames!" I said to her, rubbing the back of my head. "It's all forgiven!" She said with a happy smile to me. Hugging my arm. Shes became...a lot nicer...Oh yeah! I did give her all those dresses my parents gave me. They remembered my size....when I was 6.

Sonic sits up from the couch and looks up at me. "Where are you guys going?" He asks, Amy answering for me. "Now that we can go out in public, we're heading to Station Square to go shopping. We've spent weeks hunting down the Chaos Emeralds, but now it's time to do some bargain hunting, so I'm gonna shop 'till I drop."

She crosses her arms over her chest and glares at him. "There's no point waiting for you to take me, because I don't even know where you are most of the time." She eyes widen when seeing the cellular device in Sonic's grasp. She gasp and took a step closer.

"Oh! We can stay connected all the time!" Her excitement soon left when Sonic tosses her the phone. "No thanks! You coming, Y/N?" He was about to leave out once again. As much as I love our little races. I don't want to make Ella mad. "Sorry bud, not today." I tell him. His face looked a little sad for a second. "Your lost!" And in a matter of seconds he was gone.

"Wait, Sonic! What about your cellphone??" Chris tells out. Sonic appearing one last time as he says "Leave a message for me." Then was gone once again. I snicker at this. "I'm guessing our blue friend likes to be left alone." I say out loud with a shrug.

"Easy for you to say! He lets you tag along! Or he'll want to be left alone! Why can't he be left alone with me??" Amy complains. Wow, she must really like Sonic if she wants to be alone with him. Love makes a girl go crazy, I guess.

We finally make it to the mall. I've been here a couple of times, so safe to say it's pretty much the best mall in the city. Filled with people left and right with smiles on their faces. Just made you already take a guess you'll have a great time. Who wouldn't? It's like the future for all malls. Theirs a store for everyone.

I had managed to sneak away from Ella who was picking out clothes for Cream and Cheese. I REALLY didn't feel like finding clothes right now. I don't hate shopping for clothes...it's just the clothes she picks out for me aren't my style. I still love her for trying.

I was in the toys section with Chris and Tails. I saw they had a new robot toy that's supposed to be the future of friends... Because Mr. Tanaka confiscated most of my tools and bits and gizmos. I found new ways to tinker out of boredom... Taking apart things and putting them back better than before was my specialty.

While Chris was idolizing a panda action figure. I had noticed something in the corner of my eye. Everyone was just staring at us. Not trying to hide it or anything. Just straight up full on eye contact. It was the most uncomfortable feeling I've ever felt. Left and right, all around, were people just staring. But not just at us, they were looking at Tails.

I felt his hand grasp onto my tightly out of nervousness. His tail and ears dropping down, as he too was very uncomfortable. I mean who wouldn't in this predicament. "Ya think they want this toy?" Chris asked delusionally. "No, Chris...their staring at us."

I tell him. Just for Tails to get yanked out of my hand and being dragged by a little boy who asked his mommy if he could have him. I quickly come to his rescue and take him back. "Uh, sorry little boy he's not for sa- YEOW!" I yell in pain. Holding my leg as the little kid had done what kicked my Tibia bone. Making me hop on one foot.

The mother's face turns pale. Picking up her son and apologies to us. "I am...very sorry! Please forgive my son, Kid Genius." She quickly runs off to tell another mother about Tails. Sighing, I help the yellow fox. Who hugs my waist. "You okay, bro? Nothing broken?" I asked. Which he assures me that he's okay. But I could tell he wasn't , how could I tell you ask? Well, maybe it's because MORE people started to surround us and little kids trying to touch Tails again. "Yeah, Chris time to go. Let's go find Ella. Man, people can be so weird..."

☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡

We all were sitting down at the restaurant. Man I was hungry...but that hunger soon faded when Amy pointed out how weirded out she was. Even while eating, we were surrounded by people inside of the place. While people from the outside also looked at us. I mean I was famous, but geez I wasn't this famous. Till the point I had stranger after stranger all in my face. I could careless, but it's starting to affect my friends badly, and I will not accept that!

Cream hugging onto Ella and holding my hand as she tells us that she and Cheese was scared. Who could blame her, I'd be scared to if people can't take the hint to take a dang hike. "How come everybody keeps staring!!?" Tails shouts, studying his arms out drastically. Not sure to figure out the reason why everyone keeps looking.

I take a fry and eat it. "Welcome to being a big time celebrities. Ever since we all knocked out eggman's base. At least they haven't started the paparazzi just yet." I explained. Taking a drink of my soda.

"--But we didn't go after Dr Eggman to become famous. Of course, if they asked me to appear on TV or magazine covers, I won't turn 'em down." Amy said closing her eyes. I chuckle at her. She was adorable. "Speak it, sister. But- sorry guys, guess it'll take a while for people to get used to you guys here especially." I tell them. They looked really bummed out.

"I'm not so sure they'll ever get used to having us here." Tails sighs softly. And not a moment too soon a guy shouts out "say cheese" before flashing a bright camera light at us. Then after that, everyone started taking flash photography. Thank goodness if it wasn't for my goggles I probably would have been blinded. But the flashes were still irritating.

Cream whimpers out in pain covering her eyes. So did everyone else as they tried their best to shield their eyes from the bright lights everyone kept disrespectingly shooting at us. I had just about enough. I slammed by fist loudly enough to where all the glass and silverware shakes. "ENOUGH!" My voice booms out at everyone. People backing up. They had shut their traps real fast. Some even looked scared and went back to their seats....C'mon, I'm not even that scary! All I said was to really shut up!

Sadly, most didn't leave. They just kept their distance and still stayed....until another flash went off in my face....

....Oh somebody's getting hurt!

Ella quickly grabs the back of my shirt before I got to violent. "As much as I also want to beat them to a pulp. There are young children among us. Let's try not to ruin their minds at a young age. Let's try somewhere more private. I can't let my babies go hungry." Ella tells us. I nod, we all stand up and were going to leave out. Until, I powered on my boots and Sonic speed out of there. Causing giant smoke to blast in their faces for a couple of seconds....

☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡

Ella had booked us up fast VIP reservation at a fancy restaurant. I didn't like fancy places like this half of the time. Mostly, I don't like fancy places like theses... mostly bc half of the time the food sucks and looks so unappetizing. And I hate it when people try to talk to me when I'm eating...Like let me enjoy my food in peace!!

Now that I realized...I'm only wearing sweat grey pants and a T-shirt. Ah, that would explain the judgment stares from the women room. Geez, take a picture it'll last...

"Oh my! They allow pets in here?"

"Instead of escorting those beasts into our dining room and creating a scene, they should check them into the coat room with the rest of the furs.."

...They were so lucky Ella has raised me to be a pacifist, otherwise I'd probably end up like Dr. Rotteneggs.

We all sat down at a table near the windows. We were on a very high floor, so we got a great view of the place. The waiter telling us he'll be right back with our menus. "This is a private club, so we won't get hassled." Chris tells them....a minute to soon. Before a few women came up behind me and place a hand on my shoulders. Making me jolt forward from the touch.

"I how brave you and your friends were on TV! May I ask for your autograph and their pawprints??" One women asks. Touching my hair and face. Okay I didn't like this at all. What happened to touch of consent, lady??

Another women came up to Cheese and Cream. Rubbing up on Cheeses head and saying just how adorable they were. Soo. After, all the women came up to us and started to touch on us. I really didn't like this. I couldn't move ...my mind went blank and I felt tears swell up in my eyes. I hated this. I wanted to go home ...I want to go home...

"Mommy...I don't like how they keep touching and asking if my eyes are real. Can we go home? Please..?"

"Stop being a baby Y/N. They just like your eyes that much. Stop being rude to your fans. I swear you act like your six years old."

"But I am six..."

"Just stop your whining. And go talk to more people. We could end up making great connections with people! Remember, your doing this for your family."

☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡

I had my knees up to my chest. Hugging them close. My face buried into my knees. I never wanted to experience that ever again. It was so nerve wrecking... Sometimes, being famous can be annoying. And my poor friends just had to endor their rude behavior and bad manners...I'll find a way to make it up to them.

Tails was sitting on my chair as well. I could tell he was staring, but in a sad way. Who could blame him, they all saw the tears fall from my glasses. I felt like a crybaby. He places a hand on my back and hugged me. Peaking my head up, I smiled at them. "Sorry to bring the mood down...is everyone okay though? No one is hurt right?" I ask, just for Ella to respond with "The only beings that are going to get hurt is those very rude people who dare place their hands on you all again!" Ah Ella, you are a national treasure.

"What a waste! Our shopping spree was a flop." Amy sighs sadly. "I'm sure things'll get a lot easier once people get use to seeing you around." Chris said to them. I sit up and go over to the window looking out of his. "Hopefully, I feel like breaking something after that incident!" I crack my knuckles looking back at them. Their eyes expanding, looking at me with shock. "...Oh c'mon, I'm not going to destroy a building or so- Oh, your looking behind me. What is it-"

Looking back, I saw what appears to be a giant aircraft of some sort. With an odd looking design. It had Eggman written all over it. But that's impossible right? I thought we had taken him down?...Dang, life really is like a video game. I clench my fist, powering on my boots. I defeated him once, I can do it again!

Damn, but I also had Sonic help me out. And he's not one for having a communication device. If I were a small 3'3 blue hedgehog with the powers of the flash...Where would I even go?

I noticed Eggman was dropping what seemed like Wrecking Ball robots from his ship. Dropping them down into the city and wrecking building after building. That's it! Sonic will show up in his own time! I'll stop theses robots myself!

"You guys quickly get out of here! Before he realizes your in here and tries to tear the building down! I'll stop theses badniks myself!" I hit turbo on my boots. And dash out of there. I could hear them calling my name but I was already gone.

I found myself outside in the middle of the road. People running back and forth in terror. I looked to my left and noticed a robot was about to crush down a car that had a women and a kid in there. Not a moment to soon, I fly over there, getting a right amount of boost as I kick out my foot and break through the robots legs. Causing it to loose balance and crash onto the ground.

"You guys get somewhere safe! The city is a dead zone at the moment!" I yell at the mother who picked up her child and ran. "Heh, I'm getting use to this hero thing- OOF!" I had spoke to soon when a wrecking ball had came at me with a powerful force. Knocking me straight into a wall harshly.

"...Ow ...that hurt...." Collapsing onto the floor. Groaning in pain. Seeing the robot get close to me once again. Slamming the wrecking ball down at me. I quickly rolled to my side and jumped up. Flying away from it, just to come back and kick right through the robot. Damaging it's circuits and wires. Looking down at my work, smirking confidently. "Hah! Is that the best you got Eggface? This is to easy." I spoke out loud with boldness in my throat.

Before I get snatched from my spot in less than a second. Hearing the sound of crashing. Looking over at where I originally was to see another badnik had just tried to crush my skull it. Looking up, to see who had just saved me from turning into a pancake.

"Sonic!?" I yelled out with excimentments. He winks at me and places us both down. "Heh, to easy you say?" He gives me a taunting grin. I push his head down and rolled my eyes. "Yeah yeah, next time I'll wait until I actually beat all of them. Took you long enough! Where even did you-" Sonic cuts me off as I felt him place a flower in my hair. "Mmh, (F/C) flowers to look better on you. Anywho! Looks like our friends are in trouble! Whaddya say? Wanna give them the Kid Genius and Blue Blur special?"

I adjusted my goggles and fist bump him. "Thought you'd never ask. Let's recycle theses tin cans once again! Together!"
