Sonic was enjoying a sunny day in Emerald Hill Zone, running at top speed, feeling the wind against his spikes.

Sonic was joined by Tails, his best friend, as they raced through the zone, their laughter echoing through the hills.

After their run, the duo decided to have a picnic. Tails had brought a variety of fruits, including a bright yellow lemon.

In haste, Sonic grabbed the lemon and took a bite. A sudden jolt ran through his body as his stomach started to rumble ominously.

Tails watched in horror as Sonic's body started to swell. 'Sonic, you have to neutralize the acid before you explode!' he shouted, panic evident in his voice.

Desperate and scared, Sonic dashed off, with Tails following closely behind. They needed to find something to counteract the lemon's acid.

They raced through the hills, their eyes scanning for anything that could help. Sonic's body was still swelling, the situation becoming more dire with each passing second.

Suddenly, Sonic spotted a milk thistle plant. 'Tails, milk thistle can neutralize acid!' he called out, veering towards it.

Tails quickly picked the plant and Sonic hastily consumed it. His body stopped swelling almost immediately, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Once they were sure Sonic was okay, they returned to their picnic spot. The scare had subsided, replaced by a newfound appreciation for peaceful moments.

Tails chuckled, 'Guess we learned our lesson, huh? No more lemons for you, Sonic.' Sonic nodded, laughing along with his friend.

And so, the day ended on a cheerful note, the two friends promising to stick together through thick and thin, through every adventure and every mishap.
