      The blue hedgehog and the two-tailed fox left the beach and headed to a tall building, or rather to a hotel, because they need to spend the night somewhere on this island. Poor Sonic was itching all the way, so much so that his needles were shedding and falling off with little fluff along the way. He itched so much as if he had been bitten by fleas, although he washed himself on the beach with cool water, but this did not help and he began to itch even more. — I told you, put on sunscreen, otherwise you’ll get sunburned. Now you will be itching all night. — his brother scolded him, laughing to the side. — This is not funny, Tails! How am I going to spend the night like this now? Because of this itching, which still doesn’t end all night, I won’t be able to sleep. — the blue hedgehog grumbled, continuing to itch even more. — You'll fall asleep! I’ll apply cool cream to you at night and the itching will go away as if by hand. — the fox reassured him. — The main thing is, tell me where to apply it? — Be careful not to inject yourself! — the hedgehog joked, continuing to itch. Tails also joked in response: — What am I going to prick myself on? You, with your scabies, tore off all the needles from yourself, so much so that you became completely bald! Sonic looked behind him and saw that the entire sidewalk behind him was now covered in blue dust from his needles. These same ashes were removed by a janitor who grumbled loudly: — Every day the same thing! I just cleaned everything up! You can stop littering for at least a couple of minutes! And then they’ll make a mess and Brian, come on! Brian, get out! Brian, why are you sitting around doing nothing? Every day! This is how it is every day! — I think we better get out of here before he comes at us for this! — Tails joked and together with Sonic they rushed off at supersonic speed. In Sonic’s place, blue dust from needles also slowly fell down onto all the sidewalks and roads through which he ran. The janitor saw this and growled even louder: — WELL, WHOA!!! — he shouted and hit his head on the wall of the nearest building. In the meantime! The waves brought a large delivery box to the shore of the beach. It was as if the delivery plane accidentally threw it into the sea and forgot about it. The box immediately opened and a pink hedgehog jumped out of it onto the cold and blue sand in red shoes. After looking at the beach and the houses around it, she also compared them to the same island on the brochure. Having compared and realized that they coincided, she smiled and said out loud to herself: — He is here! Throwing the brochure onto the sand, the hedgehog ran as fast as she could straight into the city. And Sonic, upon entering the hotel, felt something was wrong. It seemed to him that suddenly Rose had found him again and here? And he even had a suspicion that she was probably coming here. He needed to temporarily forget about his itch and figure out how to outwit her so that she would not find him and decide that he was not here. The blue hedgehog, who was still nervously standing, gritting his teeth in an attempt to endure the itch, together with his two-tailed friend, approached the concierge and ordered one room for two. When the doorman asked for the name of the two, Tails first wanted to introduce himself with his real name, but Sonic managed to shut him up with one free hand and began to answer with fictitious names: — My name is Kano, and this is my older brother, Doctor Sub-Zero. — Sonic lied. — Sub-Zero is sometimes embarrassed to introduce himself by his name and often mumbles something instead. This happens to him sometimes. At first Tails wanted to object, but when he saw that the blue one winked at him, asking him to play along with him, he suspected something strange. It's like he's hiding something from him. But he also tries not to show it. After they took their room key and began to take the elevator up there, Tails began to ask Sonic: — Well, what kind of circus was this with references? — Sorry, Tails, I had this weird feeling. — Sonic explained, continuing to itch. — I'll guess right! — the sly fox smiled sarcastically. —Are you afraid again that Amy Rose, somewhere nearby, might find you again, even here, jump out at you and hug you? — the blue hedgehog only nodded in response, gritting his teeth and even groaning quietly from the intense itching. — Relax! We are now far away from her on the island and resting. You have nothing to fear from her! She won't even think about flying here after us. Moreover, we flew away early in the morning and she doesn’t know where we are. — Yes, I know, but I still have this strange feeling that she’s somewhere nearby. Remember what planet I would not appear on and no matter how many times it would find me there or there! I don’t even understand how she managed to find me then? — the hedgehog spoke through groans from itching. He had already combed his hair so hard and quickly that the entire elevator was littered with blue pieces of needles. — What is this? — Be patient! Let's go into room three hundred and thirteen and there you will lie down and rest, and I will anoint you with cool cream on all the burnt places. He should help. At that time, the grumpy janitor also entered the hotel and swept up precisely the pieces of blue needles that had been left behind, which he followed and continued to grumble all the way: — Well, every day it’s the same thing! The damned dirty people on this island throw garbage on the street, empty cans with bottles and crumble anything, and I’m already tired because of this and can’t even get home quickly and watch cartoons. — Having reached the elevator, he also swept out a huge blue pile from there. After which he went out. As he left, he also continued to grumble: — Chaos, why am I being punished like this? At that moment, Amy herself walked past him, entering the same hotel. She looked around and suggested that Sonic could easily settle here. She approached the doorman and asked him if Sonic and Tails had come here to rent a room, but they explained to her that they didn’t know anyone like that. Such personalities with names did not come to them and did not rent rooms, and for the pink hedgehog it seemed strange that she even slightly rubbed her chin. Then she asked another question: did some blue hedgehog and a two-tailed fox come here? And the doormen answered her that there were such people here, although their names were not what she called them, but differently — Sub-Zero and Kano. — “Yeah! So they wanted to deceive me, to make me think that they were not here? Did they seriously think I was that stupid?” — Amy thought in thoughts about Sonic and Tails, smiling at the same time. — "But no! I'm not that stupid! I’m quite smart and cunning myself!” — Having finished thinking, she spoke out loud: — Sorry! I just sometimes confuse their names with others because I forget them. It was to them that I came. Do you know what number they took? — Three hundred and thirteenth. — the concierge answered her. — We still have the closest number available. Three hundred and fourteenth. — Great! Sign it up for me! - asked the hedgehog.

At the same time!

      Sonic was already lying in bed on his right side and trying to calm down, inhaling and exhaling while his faithful friend smeared cool cream on his burned parts to relieve him of the itching. — You just lie there for one night and everything will go away by morning. — he told him. — Thank you, Tails. And what would I do without you? — Just don’t get too attached to me. Of course, I am more to you than your best and faithful friend, but I am not gay at all. — the fox joked and even the hedgehog laughed a little at what was said to the side and said: — What, do you think that I’m in love with you? You and I are just friends! — In every film and TV series, any couple says this and makes excuses to just remain friends, and then at one moment ONCE... And they fall in love with each other, forgetting about their words. It's a typical cliché that a character's words are diametrically opposed to his future actions. — While the fox was explaining all this, he himself was unpacking his suitcases. — Well, I'm serious. I'm normal too. I mean, not blue. I mean... Well, you get it! — Well, okay, the main thing is to lie down and rest! — the two-tailed man answered, laughing aside. The blue hedgehog did not argue with his friend and again lay down more comfortably. The itching still tormented him, but this time it was not enough and he had already gotten used to it and almost stopped itching. His gaze focused on one point in the black sky in the window. Big and round moon. How beautiful she is! And what is this face in the form of a unicorn made of craters displayed on it? Suddenly, four stars on the sides approached the Moon, merged with it, causing the Moon to shine for a second and all the craters on the Moon, displaying the face of a horse with a horn on its head, disappeared. All that was left was a beautiful and snow-white round ball in the sky. Sonic couldn't believe what he saw. Maybe he went crazy from the itching? Maybe Eggman deceived them about their pension and this is one of his new insidious plans? No, it’s some kind of nonsense! Maybe he (Sonic) is just working too hard and worrying? He really needs to sleep and relax, because nothing can ruin such a vacation. But as soon as he relaxed, he was still worried that Amy Rose was nearby. Strangely enough, he still hears her voice. Quiet, deaf in hearing, even out of fright he grabbed the blanket with his hands and covered himself with it up to his head. — Should I bring you some ice cream before bed? — Tails asked him, immediately interrupting Sonic’s worries so that he jumped out of bed with a short cry. He was so carried away by thoughts about Amy that he even forgot about his friend that he was nearby. The Two-Tails even laughed. — What are you doing? It was like seeing a ghost! And at this time, in the corridor, the doorman escorted Amy Rose to the next room, next to the room where Sonic and Tails themselves settled. But when they heard Sonic's brief cry from that room, the concierge's eyes widened, not understanding: — “Are there crazy people living there?” — “So you gave yourself away!” — Amy thought about Sonic, smiling sarcastically. — Well, for now, get settled in your room, and I’ll check on this one! - the doorman said to the hedgehog and gave her the key to her room, and he himself entered room three hundred and thirteen and asked: — What are you yelling here? People are sleeping all around! Max +100500: People? What kind of f(censored) people are here? Revenger_69: GET OUT OF HERE!!! — Sorry! We won't do it again! — Stretching his arms forward, the blue hedgehog explained. — Hello! — Amy said, sticking her head out from the side of the door, and Sonic screamed again from what he saw, jumping up on the bed. — Quiet! — the concierge hissed, putting his index finger to his lips. — Wake up the neighbors and they will come to us to complain! — Amy? — the fox himself couldn’t believe his eyes. — What are you doing here? The concierge left them alone for now, and Amy entered the room for now and began to answer: — Nothing! I was just passing by, saw an advertisement for free ice cream and decided to stop in for a bite to eat, maybe even stay for one night. — I wanted to lie for the sake of a joke, but judging by the sour and stern faces of the fox and the hedgehog, they were not laughing at all. The hedgehog, twirling her index fingers between each other, thought and decided to tell the truth. — Well, okay, okay. I found your brochure at home and flew after you. — For what? — Sonic was indignant and got out of bed. — I just suspected that you still had urgent things to do during your vacation and decided to follow you. Moreover, I have also wanted to fly on vacation for a long time. And so we can consider that it was a coincidence that we accidentally crossed paths on the same island. - the hedgehog explained. Sonic couldn’t stand it any longer and it was as if something exploded inside him with an atomic explosion. He immediately approached Amy, took her by the shoulders and led her out of the room. Rose was scared at first, but then she decided that maybe he had deliberately taken her into the corridor so that Tails would not disturb them and she hugged him again. However, the blue one immediately pushed the pink one away from him towards the wall. — What are you doing? I thought you liked it when I hug you. — No, Amy. For many years I put up with you and put up with your pestering me, but I can’t stand it anymore. — he said sternly, like a drunken rude man. He poked her in the chest with his finger and continued to quarrel: — I flew here with Tails on purpose to take a break from you. Because no matter where I go, you always somehow find me, grab me by the legs, attack or pounce from behind, and plus every time you get underfoot, that even Eggman’s robots catch you and I again have to save you from him, not because I like you like half, but because you are just a friend to me. — Having calmed down a little and exhaled, he saw tears in the hedgehog’s eyes and, running the finger of his left hand, wiped her tears from his eyes. — Please, Amy! Do not Cry! I understand perfectly well what you want from me... But I can’t... You are not my fiancée, but just a friend and I want us to just remain friends... And please, if you really love me, and very much, I beg you! Finally, leave me alone... Just don’t pester me and don’t get in the way to be safe. — Having calmly explained everything, Sonic turned his back to her and went back into the room. — Good night, Amy! — he added through the crack and locked the door. However, Sonic's words only upset Rose and she ran to her room in tears, slamming the door and flopping into bed, covering her face with a pillow, after which she cried loudly and bitterly. She, of course, tried not to make so much noise and cried more quietly, but her crying was still clearly audible through the walls. The rest of the neighbors, fortunately, mistakenly mistook the crying for the meowing of cats from the street, but only Sonic, having heard her cry through the wall, understood perfectly well that it was she who was crying and he was even a little ashamed of everything that he had expressed to her. Even Tails looked at his friend menacingly. — You treated her very badly just now, Sonic! And even very rude. — he said and went to the shower. — You have something to think about! The two-tailed entered the shower and slammed the door, now the blue hedgehog himself was left alone, sad, sitting against the wall, from where Amy’s crying could still be heard, and clasping his legs with his arms. — “Tails is right! I really did something rude! I could have had a loved one, but in the end I have now also lost a friend. Chaos, what should I do? At least give me a sign!”
