WARNING: I don't own Silver the Hedgehog nor any character from the Sonic series mentionned in this fanfiction.
(Y/N): Your name
(Y/FVG): Your favorite Video Game
You are an average teenager, to be honest. You have decent grades in school, your parents are nice and you have a couple of good friends. Yes, your life is great.
Or it should be. While sure, you had friends and your family, life just wasn't exciting at all. You were a good student, yes, but you hated school and studying, and you were kind of a loner. When your friends called you to go out somewhere, you always rejected their offers because you were "busy" but in reality, you would be playing video games all day long.
And today was no exception. You were invited to go to a party by your best friend, but you said no. Apparently, you had homework to do, even though you finished all of it.
You were simply in front of your computer, playing (Y/FVG). You were going to miss another night of sleep. But who cares about that, right? So you played, played, and, I'm probably not surprising you, played.
You looked at your room's clock. 11pm. Well, the night wasn't over yet. You looked back at your computer screen, but it was weird. Youcould see the reflection of something...or...someone that was behind you, so you quickly turned around.
You were stunned. It wasn't someone. It was something.
It kind of looked like some sort of portal. The inside of it was pitch black. But wait! Why was a portal inside of your room!? Portals don't appear like that, do they?
Amazed, but still slightly scared, you decided to take a closer look at it. You tried to put your left hand in the portal. And it worked! You actually had your left hand...inside the portal, I guess?
But before you could do anything else, a gloved hand suddenly appeared from inside the portal. Taken by surprise, you quickly removed your hand and started to fell on your butt.
However before your behind could actually hit the ground, you actually felt yourself...float in the air. Wait, how is that happening!? You tried to move your arms and legs, with no success.
A few seconds after your failed attempts at trying to move, you realised that you were levitating closer and closer to the ground, until you softly hit the ground. You then heard a voice say: "Hey, are you okay?"
You were looking at the ground at the moment, so you lifted your gaze up to see who was talking to you.
It was a hedgehog. A pretty one too.
He had grey fur covering is whole body and his hands had white gloves. He possessed a cute nose, the one you just want to poke, and that's not even the best part yet.
His eyes were beautiful. Actually, no. That's not it. They were distracting. A shiny golden color. When you saw them, you couldn't stop focusing on them. They were...hypnotic. You felt like you could look at his pair of eyes for an eternity. "Can you hear me?"
You snapped out of your thoughts and you blushed a little before muttering: "Yes, I can."
You could see him sigh of relief, though he still had a worried expression. "I'm glad. Can you get up?" said he while offering his hand.
You could actually get back on your feet without his help, but you couldn't just refuse him. "Yes, thank you." you said while taking his hand back.
His grip seemed firm and delicate at the same time. A smile started to form on his face. "That's a relief. Are you hurt?"
He was so gentle. "No, I'm not, thanks."
"What's your name?"
"(Y/N), and you?"
"Silver. Silver the Hedgehog. I'm sorry for startling you like that before, (Y/N). I'm...not supposed to be here." he said while putting his arms behind his back. "I'm glad I reacted fast enough so you wouldn't fall off."
"What do you mean?"
"I have telekinesis powers, which means I can move or make objects and people levitate. In your case, I made you levitate."
You were left kind of speechless after that. You never imagined people in the world to have such powers.
"Though I think the portal made me go to the wrong timeline." said he while rubbing his chin with one of his gloved hand.
"Timeline?"
"Yes, thanks to the power of Chaos Emeralds, it's possible to travel to a different than the timeline you're currently in. I can go to the past of the future."
You were speechless before, now you are frozen in place. Going to different timelines!? That sounds so awesome!
"Unfortunately, I'm not doing it for the fun. Terrible stuff has happened in...your future, I would guess, so I'm trying to go to the right timeline and change some stuff in that timeline so the future can be different and better.
Not as awesome as you thought, apparently. "Are you doing that alone?"
"No. I have a...friend of mine who's helping me in this task." was his response while his voice sounded rather uncomfortable when he used the word 'friend'.
"A friend?"
"Yes, she and I share the same goals: changing the past to make our future better."
Oh, so his friend's a girl. "So you're gonna be leaving here, right?"
"Yes, I am. I just need to find that...Chaos...Emerald...where was it?" said he while searching in a frantic manner around the room. "It should be here somewhere, I don't have one on me..."
At first you were looking at him examining your room, but you decided to help him, so both of you were investigating your room, with no success.
Silver started to panic. "No, no, no, no, no...It can't be..."
"What?"
"Is it possible that...none of the two Chaos Emeralds me and Blaze had stayed with me? Did they both remain with her?"
Well, that's a possibility you didn't imagine. But if yes...then Silver can't use the portal. So, "Does this means you can't go back to the right timeline?".
"...Yes." He sounded desperate. "What do I do now...?"
"I...have no clue..." was your honest response. You're not even sure how going to different timelines works...He sighed and stared at the ground.
But wait...
"Silver, I may have an idea!"
He looked back at you.
"You can try to find a Chaos Emerald somewhere outside. There's probably one in like, the park or something. Probably." You honestly weren't even sure if there were Chaos Emeralds outside or not, but you wanted to cheer him up.
He face-palmed himself. "Of course! How can I be so stupid!" His eyes started to be filled with determination! "Off I go!" said he as he started to walk towards your room's door.
"But...wait! Don't go!"
"What? Why?"
"If my parents see you, they're probably be wondering why a hedgehog like you was in my room..."
"Oh, ok, so what do you propose?"
You pointed at your room's window.
"Oooooooh. But there's still a problem though." said he as he started to walk towards the window.
"What is it?"
He looked nervous about it. "Do you mind, like, searching with me? Because I don't like being alone and...I also don't know your town and where that 'park' is. So I need a guide." said he as a blush was formed on his face.
You felt like you couldn't say no to him. Even if he didn't propose anything to you, you were still going to accompany him anyway. "Oh, ok, yes, I guess I can be a guide."
He smiled as you told that. "Thank you, (Y/N). Outside we go, then!" said he as he opened the window and jumped outside.
You picked up a flashlight and got in front of the window. You jumped through it, however your left foot hit the edge of the window and you started to fell towards the grass outside.
But before you could hit the floor, you were saved...again. Silver managed to pick you up bridal style. "Oh my gosh! (Y/N), are you okay?" he said with a worried expression.
Now it was your turn to blush heavily. "Yes...yes! I'm fine...everything is fine..."
He sighed in relief. "Try to be more careful. I don't mind picking you up like that, but...uh...forget what I just said. Just be careful, ok?" said he as he was now as flustered as you. "I'm just gonna...put you back on your feet."
And you got up on them. You picked up your flashlight and started to lead the way. "Off to the park, we go!"
