"All right, pal. You need to start talking right now. Who are you? What are you?" Dad asked Sonic, who was still seated next to him in the passenger seat.
"I'm a hedgehog, I feel like that's obvious." Sonic responded.
"Plus, I don't know if you heard over the noise of our epic mini-battle, but his name's Sonic." I added.
"And I'm in big trouble." Sonic added sadly, looking down at the car floor as his ears folded down.
"Oh, you're in big trouble? You're not the one who punched some government weirdo back there."
"You think you have problems?! I lost my rings!"
"You keep bringing up these rings. What's so important about them?" I asked.
"Okay. Rings are how all advanced cultures travel between worlds. And now mine are on top of some pointy building I've only ever seen on your skintight T-shirt." Sonic gestured to Dad. I snickered, while Dad looked offended.
"Hey."
"So, I'd like you to take me to San Francisco so I can get my rings back and use them to go to the mushroom planet." Sonic concluded.
"Mushroom planet." Dad repeated.
"Yes!" Sonic shouted in annoyance.
"Sounds like a pretty 'shiitake' planet." I giggled. Dad shot me his 'I know what you did there. Watch your language' look through the review mirror. Then, he pulled over.
"Okay, pal, out you go." Dad said, opening the passenger door.
"I'm sorry, what?" Sonic and I questioned in unison.
"Look, this is the worst possible time for me to get into trouble, okay? You asked me to save your life, I saved your life. Now, please, go find your rings. And your mushroom land. Hopefully I'm gonna wake up in a hospital bed and the doctor's gonna tell me that me colonoscopy was a big success." Dad muttered the last part.
"Well, what about me, Mr. Donut Lord?" I questioned Dad. He groaned, and I smirked. Sonic slid out of the truck. Then, he just stood there and stared at my dad.
"Why aren't you leaving?" He asked the blue hedgehog.
"I don't know where San Francisco is." He answered, saying it as if it was obvious. Which it was.
"It's West," Dad informed him. "Straight shot, can't miss it."
"Cool. That's cool. I'm totally okay saying goodbye now." Sonic said sarcastically, before sprinting away at an inhuman speed. My eyes widened. Holy cow, the dude could run. It was seconds before he came right back, all soaked in seawater and covered in a few stray seaweed, and a fish flopped right on top of his head.
"So." Sonic started. "As I crashed into the cold, dark water of the Pacific, I realized a few things." Then, he started listing them all.
"A. I have no idea where I'm going. B. Saltwater stings."
"It really does..." I muttered quietly to myself.
"C. I shouldn't even be on this planet right now, but I am! Why? Because you shot me!" He yelled at Dad.
"I know."
"You shot me!!"
"All right, I heard you the first time. No need to pile it on, good grief." Dad sighed in exhaustion.
"I'm wet, I'm cold, there's a fish on my head! And, clearly, I'm not gonna be able to do this on my own." Sonic admitted. The fish dropped from his head.
Dad sighed again. "All right, get in the truck."
"Really?" Me and Sonic gasped in sync.
"You're gonna help me?!" Sonic asked excitedly, shaking himself dry. I covered my mouth to smother my giggles when his quills/fur ended up poofing up.
Dad shrugged. "I guess it is a little bit my fault this happened to you."
"Nope, entirely. It is entirely your fault, Dad." I chuckled.
"Alright, fine, it's entirely my fault. Are you coming?" Dad asked the blue space hedgehog.
"Yes." Sonic shook himself again, and his quills were all back to normal. Then he hopped back into the front seat, and closed the truck door.
"Road trip! Whoop whoop!" Sonic shouted.
"What am I doing?" Dad muttered to himself.
~~~
"All right, there's gonna be rules on this trip. Number one, do exactly as I say, all the time. Got it?"
"Got it, Donut Lord." Sonic grinned.
"Will you stop with the Donut Lord? I have a name, and it's Tom. And as you know, that's my child (Y/N)." Dad gestured to me in the back.
"So you've been spying on us for years." He said it more as a statement than a question.
"I wouldn't call it spying. We were all just hanging out only I wasn't invited and nobody knew I was there." Sonic replied. I facepalmed internally.
"So, spying." I groaned.
"I can't believe Crazy Carl was right all this time." Dad breathed.
"I told you!" I crossed my arms in triumph.
"Yeah, you should call him Super Observant Carl instead." Then, suddenly, Sonic sat up quickly to stare out the window.
"Oh, my God. Stop the car right now!!!" He shouted.
"What? What?" Dad asked in panic.
"What is it? Is that science maniac back?!" I grabbed my bat I had placed next to me and held it up, ready to wack someone if needed.
"'The World's Largest Rubber Band Ball'?! We gotta see it!!" Sonic exclaimed in delight.
"Bruh." I facepalmed, setting my bat down but still keeping a firm grip on it.
"No. This is not some fun family road trip. This is serious. The government wants to dissect you, and arrest me and possibly (Y/N)." Sonic smirked, before zipping out the window and coming back a moment later, only this time he was wearing a merch hat and holding some souvenirs.
"Eh, you're right. It was lame. Gift shop was cool though! I got you a mouse pad." Sonic held up the said mouse pad.
"When are we gonna get there??" Sonic questioned as he took out one of those ping-pong things with the string attached that I can never remember the name of. I sighed.
This was gonna be a long trip.
