Fern Midori #1

Fern rested in the meadow grass, snoring lightly. It had been a very long week--she and the rest of Team World Adventure had been fighting villains nonstop lately. She sometimes wondered if those evil maniacs would ever stop their onslaught.

So, once Combustor Carmine had finally been reverted back to her human self and sent home, Fern took the chance to go and relax. Preferably, somewhere where that blue idiot wouldn't find her.

So Fern had gone to the meadow to take a well-deserved nap. It would have been quite a good nap if it hadn't been for her theory of the blue hero not being able to find her being wrong.

Sure enough, Fern awoke to a pair of big green eyes.

"Yo."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Fern raised her legs and kicked Sonic off her, sending him flying into the grass.

"Well...didn't see that coming," said Sonic.

"Don't sneak up on me like that!" Fern yelled, her face ever so red. "What were you DOING?"

"You didn't show up at the castle, so Ryn wanted me to look for you," Sonic replied cheerfully.

Fern huffed. "Great excuse, Frizzletop."

"No, that was the truth."

"It's still an excuse."

Sonic rolled his eyes. "Well, okay then, Miss Difficult."

Fern glared at him and laid back down. "Go away."

"No."

"Go away."

"I can do this all day. No."

"Why can't you bug your red friend instead of me?" Fern asked bitterly, closing her eyes.

"Because Knux doesn't like me messing around on his island when I have plenty of land to do stunts on anyway," Sonic replied, tugging the trim of his shorts. Once again, it was the truth. At least, ever since Knuckles had banned the entirety of Team World Adventure from Angel Island after they nearly destroyed it once.

Fern sighed. How she hated his "nice guy" nature. It was too hard to dislike. "Fine. Stay if you want. But bug me and I'll gladly kick your butt."

Sonic grinned. "Sure. Whatever you say."

Fern returned to her nap as Sonic sat with her, feeling the gentle breeze graze the hills. It was a peaceful day, with a pale blue sky and a sweet scent in the air. Everything was well.

After about an hour, Fern stirred. Sonic smiled lightly as she opened her lime-green eyes.

"You're still here?!" Fern almost shouted, bolting upright.

"Well, you said to not bug you. You didn't tell me to leave." Sonic smirked sneakily.

Fern blushed red. He was so sweet yet she hated him for it. "Let's just go back to the castle," she said, rising.

Sonic hopped up and followed her, wondering why the faint red tint still coated Fern's face.
