Chapter Text
It is the distant year of 2018, and Sonic had finally lost all of the baby weight he had had in the 90s. His formerly round, circular stomach had been slimmed to something more sleek and aerodynamic for his speed so he is even faster now than he was before. All of his weight had been lost in time and space since the New Hampshire Infant Fire Crisis of 2017.
It was an ordinary Wednesday morning when they arrived. Them.
Sonic was on his way to school which started at exactly 8:00AM. Sonic hated how early school started, but he always had time to sleep in a little bit simply because he is so fast that he can run all the way to school in 1 minute and 2 seconds (Tails had timed it before so this is how he knew). This meant that he could start walking to school at 7:58 and 58 seconds, which was pretty impressive, if you asked Tails, especially since Sonic and Tails lived 30 miles away from the school.
It was exactly 7:59 and 34 seconds when Sonic was about to cross the state border between South Dakota and Utah when he saw the sun descend from the sky and take on an ethereal corporeal form and touch down to the ground. Sonic was in awe. He saw the most gorgeous, the most perfect, the most round and spherical deity stand before him. The figure was still for a moment before preforming some bizarre bodily contortion that allowed it to open its too-big-to-be-purely-functional mouth. And how could any creature require such a large mouth? It had to be cosmetic, but when Sonic looked over the golden orb that stood before him, he saw only natural perfection. Sonic made a mental note to ask if the creature if it knew any good plastic surgeons because honestly he could go for a rhinoplasty, if you asked sonic and probably knuckles, the bastard.
It was then that Sonic became self-conscious about his own nose. Why was it so long? Seriously, why was it so long? Sonic then looked at the gently glowing sun once more and noticed its nose. Dear lord, that nose. Sonic's mind was racing almost as fast as him on a good day (which was saying something). Sonic reached his hand to his face to cover his ungodly nose in shame. The other entity's nose was bulbous, but it suited the yellow sphere quite well. It was long but not too long like Sonic's nose. And there were absolutely no traces of nostrils on the being whatsoever, which only stood to reason that the being did not have any nose hair, either. Sonic was flabbergasted. Who was this brilliant glowing ball that stood before him?
A sudden beeping interrupted his perverse gaze at the wonderful creature. Sonic located the source of the beeping to find that it was coming from his high tech watch which allowed him to communicate with Tails and other friends remotely. Tails' face appeared on the tiny watch's screen.
Kzzt! Sonic? It's 8:01! Are you alright? You're never late!
Sonic looked at the top of his watch to confirm that it really was 8:01 and not one of Tails' hilarious pranks that he liked to pull sometimes, that funny guy. He looked back up to catch one final glance at the mysterious incarnation of warmth and radiance, but the the sun was no longer there. Furthermore, Sonic looked up at the sky to see the REAL sun had stayed in the sky and had not, in fact, descended into a corporeal form like he thought he had seen. Confused, he looked back at his watch to reply to tails.
"Oh, heh heh, sorry about that Tails. I just got...................... distracted," Sonic said. "Be there in a flash!!!" he said before turning off his watch and returning to the task of going to school, still thinking about what he had seen that morning.
