It wasn’t everyday you were given the opportunity to have a break from constantly fighting Eggman. And, of course, you wanted to make the most of it.

You were planning on just spending the day inside your workshop, repairing and tinkering on your inventions. However, Sonic dragged you away from your work, insisting you use this time to bond instead.

The palm leaves above sheltered you from the gentle rays of the sun, warmth beaming down through the gaps in the leaves. The twigs and rocks paved a winding path through the forest, guiding you.

Sonic walked beside you, mindlessly kicking a rock to the side as he face softened in relaxation, his little ears perked as he listened to the lapping waves of the ocean nearby. Although no words were uttered, you were both simply just enjoying nature and each other’s company.

After a few minutes, Sonic led you off the path, heading towards a neighbouring open field. He groaned dramatically as he flopped onto the grass below, laying on his back so he was facing the bright blue sky above. You chuckled at his theatrics, settling yourself on a patch of grass beside him.

“You know,” Sonic spike up, using his elbows to prop himself up so he could meet your gaze. “Egghead still owes us that favour for saving him last week.”

You nodded in response, watching him curiously as you waited eagerly to hear where he was going with this.

Sonic smirked, grabbing his communicator and selecting Eggman’s contact. And from the mischievous gleam in his eyes, you knew Sonic wanted to mess with Eggman.

He waved the small device around, pretending to think as he rested his forefinger on his chin in mock thought. “Well, a favour from your arch nemesis is pretty rare. We could ask for the blue prints of all his robots, or the password to his base. Or even better, we can make him shave his moustache. The options are endless!” *Sonic snickered, enjoying having this power over Eggman.

He then shrugged, glancing at you curiously. “What about you, bud? What would you ask for?”
