On Earth in the state of Montana, it was the morning, around 7 or 8 AM.

The feeling's running deep, ain't no time for sleep

Sonic had just spent all night busting a bank robbery and he was running back into Green Hills, zipping past Wade's patrol car that was at the speed trap.

A second to unwind, head up in the sky

"Mornin', Wade!" Sonic comments

Sonic running past Wade at such high speeds caused a bit of wind to blow by, blowing Wade's hair around a little.

I follow to the beep, it's just what my heart's demandin'
(Yeah)

"Morning, Sonic!" Wade responds, resetting his speedometer

Friends and laughing

Sonic ran up to a hill that had a big view of Green Hills.

Say i'm right and we'll sail tonight, i'm hooo-oo-oome

"Good morning, Green Hills!!!" Sonic called out

Sonic then zips all around Green Hills

This is my heaven, baby, day and night in my zoo-oo-oooone

Sonic then zipped over to Tom and Maddie's house, carefully sneaking into his room, making sure nothing breaks.

"Come on..." Sonic quietly groaned when seeing that he had some cash from the bank robbery stuck to his shoes

Sonic quietly put the cash in his drawer and pulled out the map and a feather from Longclaw fell out which he picked up, having flashbacks to that fateful day.

"I miss you, Longclaw.....i'm trying to make you proud." Sonic comments

Sonic put the feather and map on his bedside table before laying down in his bed, yawning a little.

"And now....for a little shuteye." Sonic comments, going to take a nap

However, a few minutes later, Ozzy hopped onto the bed and began licking Sonic's face,

"Ugh, Ozzy, morning breath!" Sonic comments

Maddie stepped up, carrying a laundry basket.

"Sonic, you're still in bed?" Maddie comments. "You're supposed to meet Tom, remember?"

Ozzy managed to nudge Sonic off of his bed entirely.

"Alright, alright, i'm up. I'm up." Sonic muttered

Later, out on a pond, Sonic and Tom were out fishing, Sonic barely holding himself awake and Tom getting a good cast out in.

"What a day...thanks for comin out, bud. You know, I feel like you and me, we haven't had much time together lately." Tom comments, no response from Sonic. "How's it goin over there? Getting any bites?"

Sonic's sleeping eventually led to him falling into the lake, which was bad as he couldn't swim for a thing.

"I can't swim! Help!!" Sonic yelped. "if I die, don't look in my closet!!!!"

Tom went and got Sonic out of the water and put a towel around him.

"Now that you've had a nap and a bath....I went up to your room last night to bring you some new comics and uh...." Tom starts

"I knew I should've used real farts...." Sonic groaned

Tom put a newspaper of what happened in Seattle down in front of him.

"How many times are we gonna do this?" Tom questions

"What? Cast your line and not catch anything? Anywhere near a billion." Sonic responds

"You know what i'm talking about." Tom responded. "The lying, the sneaking out, the pretending to be Batman.."

"Bleu Justice, trademark pending." Sonic comments

"Whatever, you're being reckless." Tom said

Sonic rolled his eyes.

"Ugh, not this conversation again." Sonic comments

"Hey, it's no fun for me, either, but if you keep being irresponsible, we're gonna keep having this conversation." Tom stated

"How is it irresponsible to use my powers?" Sonic questioned

"Sonic, you destroyed an entire city block!" Tom pointed out. "You put people in danger and that isn't what heroes do."

Sonic sighed.

"You're supposed to be my friend........stop trying to be my dad." Sonic comments. "I can take care of myself."

"Sonic, taking care of yourself isn't all of what being a hero is about." Tom said. "It's about taking responsibility for other people. And whether you wanna hear this right now or not, you are still just a kid. You got more growing up to do before being the big hero. Trust me when I tell you there will come a time when your power will be needed. But you don't choose that moment."

Sonic looked back at Tom.

"That moment chooses you." Tom adds

"Whoa...look at you." Sonic scoffed. "I just...I just got goosebumps-wait a second, did you steal that from Oprah?"

"No sir, that is an Wachowski family special." Tom comments. "Came from my dad in this very boat on this very lake. He always tried to steer me in the right direction, and that's what Maddie and I are trying to do with you."

Sonic sat back down in the boat.

"So, until your moment arrives, I want you to work on being a little more responsible." Tom said. "Comprende?"

"Comprende." Sonic responds, high fiving Tom. "Now, let's get back to the house! Hang on tight!"

Sonic dipped his feet into the water and he began going at high speeds, doubling as a speed boat pretty much. Back at the house, Tom and Maddie had gotten out of their standard clothing into more vacation-like clothing and were getting ready to go to Menagerie. In the living room, Sonic had opened a ring portal and Ozzy was next to him. the two even got Scooby and Shaggy to act as 'airplane guards' as well.

"Welcome to Sonic Air, the fastest way of travel." Sonic comments. "Now boarding groups 1 and 2."

"You guys, this is so neat!" Maddie comments

"I'm sorry, ma'am, you and your husband are group 3." Shaggy comments

After a bit of waiting, it was finally time for Tom and Maddie to go through finally. Before they did, though, Sonic ran a 'scan' as part of the whole setup.

"Enjoy your trip!" Sonic comments, giving the two a fist bump and tossing Tom a ring. "Okay, use this one to get back home when done."

Tom put the ring in his pocket. Then, they hopped through the portal and said their goodbyes for at least the next 48 hours.

"Have fun and Fred and Daphne's wedding!" Sonic said as the portal closed. "Okay, you guys, it's 48 hours until they come back. We got TV channels, streaming channels,, a house full of food and no supervision."

Ozzy barked.

"Let's do this." Sonic adds

Sonic proceeds to have all sorts of goofing around, even with Ozzy, Scoby, and Shaggy, and while he was, on a cliff somewhere, a ring portal opens up and out hops a fox with some sort of advanced technological device.

"If these readings are accurate, they're here, i've found them!" The fox comments. "I just hope i'm not too late."

The fox then takes off for Green Hills and hid in a bush.

"Okay, they're definitely in this town, I just need a way to reach them without being spotted." The fox comments before seeing a nearby police car. "Standard human transport. Perfect!"
