Chapter Text
After the grand battle against The End. The fastest thing alive finds himself just lazily watching TV, for days and weeks on his couch in the comfort of his own living room. Surprising and worrying his best bud and genius inventor Tails. Who would find him doing the exact same stuff during the exact same time each day, with him only getting up to eat, sleep, or take a shower. He would offer Sonic to go out with him to enjoy the air. But oddly enough the blue blur who normally can never keep still and loves traveling the world would just decline. Clearly being bored and having nothing to do that would be as grand as his last battle.
It would not be intell someday when Tails was checking his mail, that he would find an ad for an up coming extreme gear tournament. Being reminded of when they would enter them and seeing how excited Sonic would seem for them. He would simply place the ad right in front of the bored hedgehog. Seeing if he would end up reading the ad. To the orange fox's shock, the blue blur would pick it up and start to read it before sitting it back down. Sonic would start to think about those tournaments he went to and about how much fun he had at them. Enjoying being able to push his gear to its limits to come out on top, even thinking about the adrenaline he got as he and Jet would fight for first place. Even though the green bird was a cocky and intitled brat, there was something generally enjoyable about how heated their rivalry got, how Jet wasn't actually talking out of his ass and shown how much of a challenge he could put up in extreme gear. Even more how hyper focus the green bird would get on the blue hedgehog when they were near each other, with the hedgehog even thinking if Jet thinks about him outside of the races. It didn't matter that the blue blur hadn't entered an extreme gear tournament for a very long time. He would give it his all and take this chance to rekindle his relationship with Jet, after thinking about him in Cyberspace as he was on a journey to save not just his friends, but the whole world.
Sitting the ad down and putting up a smirk as he looked at Tails. He would simply ask him if he was willing to repair and clean his extreme gear.
"It has been a while since the fastest thing alive did something productive. What do you say to entering one of these tournaments for old time sake?"
The blue blur would simply say in the same confident tone he used to talk in all the time before the events of his last adventure. Tails would simply nod as he simply smiled back.
"I'll be by your side no matter the event. Let's give it are all!"
The now remotivated hedgehog would get up and speedly take out the very dusty Extreme Gear as he went to get a chili dog. Grabbing his voice and looking though his text message as he sees a familiar name pop up in his contacts. The last message was from 8 months ago as he started to read what was said
LegendaryWindMaster69: Hey chump. I noticed you haven't entered a single tournament for over 10 months. Too afraid you can't keep up with me anymore!
Fastestthingalive: You know with the role of being the whole world's hero that i'm a busy hedgehog and sometimes can't find time for stuff.
LegendaryWindMaster69: Excuses excuses you just know i'm faster than you. Even tho it has gotten quite boring without anyone who even has a chance to keep up with me. You should join one of these again, at least of course you know you can no longer keep up with me!
Fastestthingalive: I'll prove you wrong anytime of the week Jet! Just you wait!
The hedgehog would generally feel a bit bad he hasn't kept true to his promise for the last 8 months but hero work will come first before his own enjoyment. Knowing now would be the perfect time to prove him wrong. He would text him back in a more teasing way. Knowing it can ruffle his feathers.
Fastestthingalive: Sorry for the wait but I have finally found time to join the next one coming up. Are you still up for it or are you scared that the fastest thing alive might take your role as legendary wind master as well!
He didn't actually plan to take that title as well as it was a better title for Jet, but he would not expect how quickly the now annoyed green bird would reply.
LegendaryWindMaster69: Fuck you.
LegendaryWindMaster69: I'll be seeing you today just to show you why they call me the legendary wind master and make you know your place!!
Sonic would be surprised by him even coming to him first but would just smile to see the rivalry still burning ablaze.
"Tails if you end up seeing a pissed off looking bird outside. It's for me!"
Sonic would notice as his extreme gear was fully cleaned and repaired but with a note being left right beside it.
I'll be busy for the night and won't be able to return intell the next day. Please avoid getting in trouble and messing up the house. I'll promise to be there when you enter the tournament!!!
- Tails.
It would seem to the hedgehog that he himself will have to deal with the angry green bird himself. But could see this as an excuse to spark the rivalry even more. All he had to do is not make a mess of the house and he would be good. He would take a good look at his extreme gear intell he heard the doorbell ringing a lot. Guessing an inpatient bird was right on the other side.
[This was generally fun to write and it's funny to start off the story with the guy who loves adventure being lazy out of pure boredom that now will have stuff to do because an egotistical bird is right in front of his house. I'm sure everything will be normal for the competitive duo. Totally]
