Sonic Drabble Trouble!

Chapter 1: One Wrong Turn
Sonic was running.
…which didn´t quite cover the drama. In fact, he was tearing down the street, cars with howling sirens hot on his pursuit as tires screeched over asphalt, squealing like runover kittens. The blue hedgehog was also slightly panicking, since he didn´t recognize his surroundings at all. Where was this place? Just a few moments ago, it seemed, he had tried to rescue Cream from some sick experiment. But then, Robotnik´s base had exploded with the Chaos Emeralds and there had been such a bright light…
Sonic noticed one of the cars gaining and poured on an extra dose of speed. The wall of sound shattered and everything stretched as vision hurried to catch up with his velocity.
The hedgehog risked a quick glance back. He quirked an eyeridge as he noticed that for some reason the vehicles had stopped dead and weren´t pursuing anymore. Sonic barely had time to wonder why before he shot head first over the cliff where the road had ended.
He wanted to scream, but the shout stuck in his throat as he saw what was underneath him. A field of lights, which slowly dissolved into houses as he looked closer…a strange calm had settled upon the hero as he soared through the air and for one moment he was just marveling at the strange new world that unfolded itself before his eyes.
And then gravity tapped him on the shoulder and coughed.
"Aaaaaaah!"
With his quills now quivering wildly in the rushing winds that accompanied his downward flight, Sonic screamed. The field of lights soon became individual streets. The streets became individual dwellings. The dwellings became houses, gardens and balconies…and Sonic´s destination seemed to be a swimming pool.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"This time, the scream was considerably louder, and noticeably higher pitched.
Sonic flailed in the air wildly, trying desperately to land anywhere but there. To his surprise, a badly executed spind-dash actually seemed to do the trick – his course was slowly pointing away from the pool and while he was falling ever faster, he had now angled his flight successfully to some other destination. All this happened in miliseconds, and Sonic had had barely time to see where he was headed now as he already crashed into a window at full speed. And then into something soft, which probably saved his life.
It turned out to be a bed. A big bed.
Someone screamed. Sonic looked up dizzily, wishing that the person would show some consideration for window pane-induced headaches, and shut the hell up. However, his words died on his tongue as he actually saw the screamer. It was a human. A boy, to judge by his short height. A very panicked boy. His green eyes had a wild look in them and the shock of black hair on his head looked unruly, accentuating his bewildered state. Sonic also noticed the strange wound on the other's forehead and was for a second worried that his shattering the glass might have hurt the human, but then noticed that it was just an oddly shaped scar, healed years ago.
The strangest thing was however, that the boy didn´t seem to be that afraid of him, but was rather shooting furtive, panicky glances at the still closed door, as if waiting for something even more terrible to happen any minute now.
And then Sonic heard the deep, hollering voice:
"HARRY! WHAT IS THIS RACKET?! I SWEAR, IF I COME UP NOW AND FIND YOUR DISTURBED SCHOOL PEOPLE UP THERE WITH YOU, YOU WILL BE IN TROUBLE!" Stompingfollowed.
The boy turned a miserable look on the hedgehog.
"Are you a friend of Dobby´s, or something?"
Short, amusing stuff as promised. :D
Much more to follow, so put this on alert - 'complete' just means that each chappie can stand on its own. Things included here will be, among others:
Ficlets - mini-stories, like above
Drabbles - 100 word writings
Spin-offs - if there´s anything that spawns from my other two epics
...and increasingly bad, but hopefully entertaining poetry. ;)
Hope you liked, and please review:-) (or check out my longer fics! An awesome idea, I tell you!)
