Start from the beginning
                                    

"Where were we? I'll just start at the beginning."

(Time Skip)

Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are looking at the directions for the bookshelf.

"There are no words. Just pictures." Tails states.

"Just like the novel I'm writing!" Knuckles pulls the directions away and looks closer. "Hmm... the plot's there, but the characters are all over the place."

"Um, maybe we should just take a break?" I suggest.

(Time Skip)

Sooo, yeah. Since building isn't going too well. We're just taking a break. I went back to Tails' workshop to try and figure out Sonic's note.

"Ugh." I slam my head on the desk.

"Why's Sonic making this so difficult?"

Tails laughs. "Come on, Malaika. Just look at it properly! I may be a genius but I'm not just gonna give you the answer."

I take a look at the note and read through it again. A lightbulb suddenly goes off in my head.

"Wait, red...." I mutter.

"Yeah?" Tails smirks.

"Red symbolizes love and zone..... zone means friendzone!" I exclaim.

"See? You figured it out!" Tails smiles.

I quickly jump up. "Thanks Tails! Couldn't have done it without you!" I say quickly, running off to find Sonic.

(Time Skip)

I head to Sonic's shack, thinking he'd probably be there.

"Sonic? You here?" I call. He hops out of his hammock.

"Oh, hey Laika-" he pauses once he sees the note in my hand.

"So, I'm guessing you figured it out?" Sonic smiles.

"Maybe, then again, I don't know. You might have to tell me yourself." I tease.

Sonic rolls his eyes with a smirk before pulling me closer to him. He leans down to my ear.

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you too." I smile. Sonic smirks before lifting my chin up and kissing me gently. It was short but sweet. He smiles as he pulls away.

"Hey, Sonic?" I ask.

"Yeah?"

"When are we gonna tell the gang? I mean, I think Tails knows since he helped me with the note. I knew there was no point in going to you because you would just tell me to figure it out myself."

"You already know me so well." He smirks. "But to answer your question, I don't know. We'll tell them at some point."

"Yeah, I guess so. We should probably get back to helping Amy with the bookshelf. She'll come to find us all at some point anyway." I say.

Sonic chuckles before picking me up and running off.
