┗━°⌜ 赤い糸 ⌟°━┛

Me and the old man talked for some time now. I honestly thought this day would be boring! Wasn't expecting this, but I was expecting not to expect something, doesn't count! Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves rather nicely too. As time went on, we learned more and more about relaxation. Not that I didn't need the education, but I do really appreciate their help.

Sadly, not everyone was on board with the plan. And by who, I mean sonic. He still hadn't gotten use to the idea. So he started hatching an escape plan! Obviously I stood by and watch. The old man standing next to me also. Watching his great plan unfold.

I watched as he manipulated Tails. Telling him that the X Tornado was probably very lonely without him. And that possibly machines could get lonely. Of course the 8-year-old boy fell for it quickly. Is blue eyes turning glassy from feeling sympathy. I gasp slightly and chuckled.

"What a jerk move." I snicker. Looking at the old man. Who was now asleep in his chair. Snoring softly as his mustache blue every time he exhaled. I took a towel from the side and wrap it around his body. Fixing his head as I walk off. Didn't want him to get sunburn now. Once walking away to the front side of the deck. I felt myself being pressed up slightly against wall near the entrance to the inside of the boat.

My hands being pulled so that I was on my knees but still back against the wall. Then a pair of two gloved hands press on each side of my head. Looking in front of me, I realize that Sonic had now just pinned me against the wall. Our faces slightly touching each other as I felt my face heat up at least 90°. "Uhhh... Sonic??" I question.

Feeling his hand cut my face. Slowly lifting his head up. "I just can't take it anymore. When we're on this boat we have no type of privacy whatsoever. And all I want to do is just have some alone time with my favorite girl. I was honestly hoping it would just be me and you want to type of vacation." Now placing both hands on my face, and pressing his forehead on my head. "Don't you see that this boat is keeping us apart? Everyone always wants your attention but what about me? You've not been paying attention to me. Don't you love me~"

... Is he really trying to manipulate me right now? Does he really think he has a chance?... Well right now I am incredibly flustered, and I don't think my heart is supposed to go this rate of beating. I really hope Chris has or Gramps don't see me like this. I will never hear the end of it!

"So ... Whaddya say? Help a guy out and help me- I MEAN us! Get back home~" he smirks charmingly. Winking his eye as he caressed my cheek gently...Why did he have to be so dang cute... "Fine, fine! I'll help you you big baby. You SO owe me this-" he grabs a hold of my face and dips me down over his knee and kisses my lips. A pretty big one too, before breaking it. "Thanks babe, knew you'd always be there for me."

Oh boy... What in the world did I got myself into?

"AMY'S GONE BERSERK??"

Chris gas out loud. Sonic on his knees looking down at the ground beneath him. Me standing next to him with the same tired and shocked expression. Gramps and Chris looking at us with concerning and worried written all over their faces. Sonic had TEASED Amy a bit to persuade her into bashing her Piko Piko Hammer to make it more convincing.

"Uh huh! This boat's going to drive everybody banana sooner or later..." Sonic said. I couldn't lie bro was a really good actor. Mrs Thorndike would love to have him and her movies. Of course the only person who's really going bananas over the boat was only Sonic.

"What do you think, Grandpa? Maybe we should ask the captain if we can turn the ship around?" Chris ask ed the old man in the Hawaiian shirt. Sonic's ears twitching, and smirking a little bit overhearing their conversation. While I pretended like I was sick. Holding my stomach and my head.

"I don't know... I have a theory that something fishy is going on." Gramps said. Sonic clearly didn't like that theory of his...Also BOO enough with the terrible fish puns.

Just when his plans couldn't fail anymore. Amy, Cream and Cheese both walked into the main hall. Not even noticing the four of us at the beginning.

"Did he really say that, amy?" 🐰 🧡

"It's the truth, cream! He said his little heartbeat faster every time I swung my hammer! He's so dreamy..." 🦔 💗

"Wow, that's so sweet!" 🐰 🧡

I chortle slightly. Covering my mouth as I watched Sonic desperately crawl away before Chris and Gramps realize he was gone. just so I don't get in trouble either, I quickly ran off with him. "Nice going wise guy. I knew your plan wouldn't work, but it was funny to see a progress anyway." I laughed at him. Once we were finally in the clear and away from everyone else.

"Yeah yeah! Laugh it up." He said in a grumpy manner. Obviously kind of upset that is planned wasn't going according to plan. Well really what did he expect? They already knew originally he was trying to escape, why would they believe now?... But to be fair. It's not like Sonic is related to them or anything. They can't really keep him here. If he wants to leave pretty sure he has every right to do so- but hey! What do I know? That's right, EVERYTHING!

"You do realize Amy's going to beat your butt when she realized you lied to her just so you could get your way out of this Cruise, right?" I warned him. Cleaning off my goggles slightly. Watching his whole body shaking fear when I reminded him. He's in for one rude awakening when Amy finds him...Good thing I brought my camera!

"Awh- C'mon!... You wouldn't let anything bad happened to your charming boyfriend, would you?" He tried to do the same thing he did last time. Thankfully I'm not Amy- "Yes, I would. You played with that girl's heart, so now she's going to rip yours out. Have fun~" I kiss his head and walk off past him.

"Wait! Y/N!! Don't leave me like this-"

"SONIC!!!!!!!!!!"

☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡

After a long while Cruise. We had finally made it close to the glaciers. Due to how chilly it was- I had quickly threw on a coat. Walking over to the edge of the deck with Chris and Tails. I noticed that they were admiring an icebergs floating up in the water... Why am I getting Titanic vibes?

"Look, Y/N! Icebergs! We're near the glaciers!" Tails shouted out happily. Holding on to my hand and pointing over the boat. I pet his head from how adorable he acted. "Put this on, Chris! It's a bit chilly." Said Gramps coming up behind us and putting a coat on Chris. Which he thanks him for. I looked down at Tails wondering if his coat is thick enough for the cold weather, or if he still felt the cold- not really feeling like questioning his type of kind. I just took off my coat regardless and wrapped it around him. "Keep warm, kid." I told him. "Wow! Thanks Kid Genius!" He hugs my leg. Man, he was so gosh dang adorable.

"Hey, Amy still ticked off about, Sonic?" I asked. Picking up the fox, and holding him in my arms like a little brother. "Yes- well it wasn't very nice of him to lie to her like that. Especially when he has no feelings for her. You never mess with a girls heart, boys...She might just mess with yours PSYCHICALLY." Chuck said making Tails and Chris sweat a little.

"You seem so good with the ladies, Chuck. I'm surprised you're still single." I tease, which caused me to get flicked upside the head by him. It was worth it. "But, Amy can't stay mad at him forever!-" Tails added. "Wanna bet? Never mess with a girls feelings."

"Sonic! Cmon~ you can't stay up there all day. Don't you want to see all the wonderful things I can do with this hammer? It's pretty amazing, sonic. But you got to see it real close! C'mon, Y/N won't save you this time!" Amy threatened with a smile on her face.

"Uh- no thanks! I'll just stay up here. Catch some rays, maybe another time!" He was on top of the giant pole on the ship. The tallest point on the ship. That he quickly ran up to to get away from her. Amy wasting no time jumped up near the pole. And began to whack her hammer back and forth trying to make him come down. " YOU COME DOWN ON THAT POLE THIS INSTANT!"

I just laugh at this. Gripping on to the side of the ship, as it shook back and forth slightly from the impact of her hammer. That's another reason why you should never mess with Amy Rose. "I get the feeling we ought to stay out of this!" Chuck warn us. We all agreed. Placing Tails down next to me, we both then saw something at the corner of our eye...It was a whale!

"Wow! It's a Whale!! Look Y/N! Do ya see??" Tails pull my hand and pointed over. I smile and nod to him. "Hey look! It's another one!" I turn him over to the other side. Chris and Chuck did also. "Wow, look how big it is!" Chris shouts... Until we got a better look at it once it fully emerged from out of the water. That was no whale. Nor, do I think any underwater species looks anything like that...It was a ship...but not just any ship.

"... That's not a whale." Chuck chimed in. Everyone else now realizing it too. Wondering who or what it could be! But there's only one logical answer for this question. And I'm afraid no one can get this question wrong...

"THOUGHT YOU COULD TAKE A PLEASURE CRUISE WITHOUT ME, EH? WELL, THINK AGAIN!"

I was waiting for this Egghead to show up again to ruin the fun. I must admit, I was getting a bit bored so this is definitely the vacay I needed. I cracked my knuckles and went over to Sonic. Who was underneath Amy being sat on by her. "Ha-ha! I was wondering how long it would take before you bozos showed up. Are you two starting to rust yet? Waiting for another butt kicking by the unstoppable duo??" He said all cocky like Amy wasn't putting her full weight on him.

"Aw, Sonic. Don't antagonize them. It must be hard working for a senior citizen that acts like a child at the same time." I look over at the ship with them. Hearing the frustration from the two robots. I did feel a little bit bad though, the robots were adorable and a type of way. Must be hard when your boss is literally a rotten egg.

"We are incapable of corrosion!"

"You two, on the other hand, are nothing but rotten little hedgehog and a rotten little girl!"

Pft- was that an insult. Geez, you would have think Eggman would have programmed them with a better response filter. "STOP ALL THIS YAMMERING AT ONCE! YOU TWO TIN HEADS ARE FORGETTING WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE!" He shouts at the two robot servants.

"Whoa! Don't be mean to the metalheads! They're the ones always doing the work for you! Why are you being such a prude, dude?-"

"SILENCE MISSY!"

"Who the funk you think your talking to- 💢"

"I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED YOURSELF, YOU TWO, BECAUSE YOU'RE HAPPY LITTLE HOLIDAYS ABOUT TO END!" He shouts out again. My head just hurting from the sound of his voice. He never learns when to shut up does he?

"Oh, yeah, I'd say the funs about to start!"

"Don't be so sure, warthog!"

"He's so about to get his butt handed to him..."

Sonic takes a running jump on top of an Iceberg. While I was going to join in...I realized something important...WHY DID THE BOAT STOP?? Does the captain not see the giant robotic airship right in front of us...wait not one but THREE! Where have they been because I'm pretty sure it's worldwide known about Eggman's presence-

..Wait ...THE OLD PEOPLE!! THEY COULD GET REALLY HURT!

"You handle this right now, Sonic! I got a different job I have to do-" I quickly run up to the control room. Where the captain and the crew were in. Kicking down the door dramatically as they all turned their heads over to me. "I'm turning this ship around! Clearly you have zero flight or fight action in any of you!" "W-wait! But we're meant to stay here for the view-" "DO YOU NOT SEE THE GIANT FREAKING- Oh god they collided together now, and now it's bigger... The elderly is on board this ship and I will not have them get hurt-"

I tried to get a hold of the controls. But the crew kept holding me back. Telling me that I didn't know how to work it and that it was dangerous. Which honestly offended me to my core. Don't they know who I am? Surely, they must otherwise they are just incredibly stupid.

"Get your hands off that girl this instant! Don't you have some decency for yourself?"

A familiar voice called out over to me. As I look over to see the one and only Danny DaVinci. "I appreciate your worriedness for us, kiddo. But right now your boyfriend needs some serious help." Looking back over through the window. Sonic was having one heck of a rough time out there. He kept slipping on the ice which made him too much of an easy target. Thankfully he was dodging rather quickly but for how long?

"Mind handing me that microphone?" The old man said. The crewmates finally getting off of me. Pushing open the chair for him, and handing the microphone. "Ahem! Ahoy my boy! You seem to be stuck in a tight pickle aren't you? I may be nothing but an old fart, but I just might be able to help you out."

I watched Sonic fly up in the air from the blast. But his ears twitching so I knew he was listening to Danny. I had just a theory that this may possibly work. But it was only 70%. So I hope my rating goes higher from here. Or I might have to step in!

"Now, Sonic, I want you to breathe deeply and relax. Focus on your goal, relax, stay in the moment, and feel the ice with your shoes." He said calmly. Sonic opening back up his eyes as he lands back onto the icy floor beneath him. Having a good grip on his feet allowing him not to slip. Taking his advice and following his directions. He got just the hang of it.

"Not bad! Now, if I can only keep my feet from sleeping, this ought to be a piece of cake." Said Sonic, having a confident look on his face. Which confused the two robots and Eggman.

"Some things the matter. Why isn't he frightened?"

"I don't like it. A moment ago we had him on the run."

"He certainly is cool all of a sudden, isn't he?"

Eggman made a pun. Making me groan. "Boo!! Enough with the puns! You suck!" I yelled out. Which really seemed to send him off the edge. "ENOUGH OF THIS! LET'S PUT THE FREEZE ON THAT HEDGEHOG! And hopefully my daughter will come to respect her father.." He aims his Blaster towards where the cruise ship was. One of the crewmates yelling out for the captain and fear.

"I TOLD YOU KNUCKLE HEAD TO MOVE THE SHIP!" I yelled out in anger. Turning around to give him a piece of my mind. Before allowed whiny crying noise could be heard from above. And a little black dot smacks right onto the front window of the aircraft. It being that little demon kid of a robot that always has an exploding TV with him.

"PLEASE, LET ME IN!" He begs. Clenching onto the glass as he cries. One of the robots questioning why exactly they should let him in.... Even though he's Eggman's robot I don't know why they should question why he wants to be brought in where he's supposed to be? Then again he is a heartless jerk and treats his robots like scrap metal. Even though he's the one who gave them consciousness.

Not a moment too soon, a bride of light shines into the sky and flies super fastly past us. The sound of a jet flying which made all of us turn our heads around. "THE X TORNADO!" Chris shouted out. Running out of the control room as I made it up with Chris and the others.

"We know that Chris, but WHO is flying it- IS THAT ELLA??!" I yelled out in complete shock. Ella, freaking ella, was inside of the X Tornado, flying it rather perfectly at that! With a face that could scare any type of child in the world.... Well that answers the question of why Bokkun was crying and scared for his life. I would too!

"ILL GET YOU, YOU BRAT!" Ella threatened. My eyes practically poking out of my eye sockets. My grin going air to ear as I literally felt like squealing. This was the coolest thing I've ever seen. This was way cooler than when TMNT and Power Rangers had a crossover episode! This was so totally radical..I wish I brought a camera.

"WHOO HOO! GO ELLA!! RIP THAT TINY LITTLE PUNK TO PIECES!!"

Tails, Amy, and Chris all looked into shock. Not expecting the housekeeper to do such an awesome stunt. "But how? How can she learn to fly the X Tornado?" Tails question. "Ella can do anything she puts her mind too... Except windows." Chuck added in. Making us groan in annoyance.

The little robots still begging to be brought in. Eggman now questioning what he was babbling on about. Until he saw up ahead. Ella changing appearance on the X Tornado...oh this was gonna be good. "NOW WE CHANGE TO X CYCLONE. TRANSFORM! YOU'LL SEE WHO'S BOSS NOW! CYCLONE KICK!" The X tornado had shot out a pair of giant robotic legs. Swinging it back before swinging it straight into robotics aircraft ship. Sending it flying up into the air. Hearing their screams grow further and further until it was no more.

Sonic looked ahead. Standing pridefully as he looked a lot more relaxed than usual. Turning his body and his gaze towards me. As his gaze soft and a little bit. Almost like he was saying a whole exact sentence just with his body movement and facial expression. What a strange little hedgehog he was.

Feeling a hand place on my shoulder. Turning around to see it was Danny! Smiling behind his mustache as he looks at Sonic with me. "So often we rushed through our lives from day to day, not seeing what's really important. Just think of it- the smell of the ocean, the rustling of leaves, moments with family and friends. Sometimes just to sit and feel the warmth of the Sun on our faces... Can teach us what's really important in life... Now hopefully your little boyfriend can remember this important lesson. But, I feel like whenever he's with you he's just the perfect amount of relaxed." He rubs my head.

☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡☆ﾟ⁠.⁠*⁠･⁠｡

Finally, everything was back to where it was. Ella got to enjoy the vacation also. Everyone went back to enjoying under the Sun and some beverages. Tails was fixing up the X Tornado, and Sonic right next to it chilling in the shade underneath it.

"Yo, Blue Devil, the X Tornado is finished. Still want to head back home?" I asked him. Sitting down next to him also. She looks over at me. Then up at Tails who was also waiting for an answer. A whiter smirk appeared on his face as he winks. "Ah, What's the rush? Come on down here." We both looked at him confused. Kind of shocked that now he wants to stay. But at the same time I was glad he chose to stay. I was glad he finally gets to relax now.

"I changed my mind. I think I'll take it easy. Just enjoy myself for a while. And... Enjoy it with the gal I enjoy my time with. And my best buddy too!" He smiles. Tails coming down as we both give Sonic a big hug. Which he happily accepted.

"I think you made the right decision, Sonic. Remember, there's always enough time to while away the hours and just be happy. Now let's all relax and enjoy yourself!"
