3rd POV

Green Hills, Montana, 10 years later. Behind a welcome sign, we see a GHSD Ford Crown Victoria P. I sitting by the roadside along with a police officer named Tom Wachowski, who is holding a red gun, trying to find speeding drivers passing through, but none are in sight. And beside him is his adopted daughter, Dawn, who is slowly but surely going to sleep due to boredom.

Tom: Come on, one car...?

He shakes his hand a little from holding the radar gun for too long and starts messing around after boredom kicks in...by acting like he's actually trying to catch speeding drivers (only to have the side of his face smacked against what he's holding at one point in time causing Dawn to snap awake before trying to fall back asleep). After a while, Tom finally puts it aside.

Tom: I'm bored!

Dawn: So I'm I bud, get in line.

Tom looks at Dawn with a small smile and chuckles when he hears his radio pick up a signal from another police officer on the other end named, Wade Whipple.

Wade: Tom, do you read me? Are you there?

Tom: "Sarcastically" No, Wade, me, and Dawn are actually on a yacht in Barbados...with Rihanna

From beside Tom, Dawn chuckles quietly

Wade: OMG, "He clears his throat" that's amazing, please send pics!

Tom: No, Wade, We're at the speed trap.

Wade: Already? How did you get back so fast Barbados is in the ocean!?

Dawn: "She chuckles"  It was a joke, Wade. We were never really in Barbados.

Wade: Oh.

Tom: Hang on, I think I got something.

Dawn:  "Gets up excitedly" Really!

Tom takes out his radar gun and aims it at... a slow-moving turtle. The device shows the target speed of the turtle to be 001 MPH.

Tom: Hey, buddy! Where's the fire? Got kids living around here!

The turtle doesn't take much notice and continues strolling along the road while Dawn quietly laughs beside Tom. (breaking character a little)

Dawn: "Under her breath chuckling" James.

Tom: "Improvising," I thought it was kinda funny...sorry.

He then takes his glasses off... just as a blue trail speeds by his car. The radar gun detected the target's speed to be 296 MPH.

Tom: What...?

Tom and Dawn check the radar gun and the road in front of them... only to see nothing... But then the blue trail speeds by again, setting off the radar gun once again and showing them the target's speed being 300 this time. As Tom fidgets with it (mostly checking to see if it's working properly), he doesn't notice a peculiar blue creature celebrating his new speed record behind the patrol car. Confused to see it working fine, Tom and Dawn depart the vehicle and walk along the road, pondering the situation... only to stumble upon an abnormally flattened section of the flat grass. At the center of it was something...blue, which he kneeled down to pick it up and inspect it. Dawn seems drawn to it but she's not sure why, what both of them didn't notice was her necklace glowing slightly.

Dawn: What do you think it is?

Before Tom can answer he hears Wade on the radio, sounding serious.

Wade: Tom, we need you down on Main Street; there's been a violent gang shoot-out.

Tom and Dawn get back in the car driving off with the police sirens flashing when Wade laughs.

Wade: Just kidding; A duck stole a bagel. But they do need it back.

As the car fades into the background, the turtle from earlier continues to stroll across the road, not noticing an oncoming truck approaching. But just then, the blue trail speeds past, taking the turtle with it. A few seconds later, we see an older-looking Sonic carrying the turtle in his hands.

Sonic: Whoa, buddy; you almost got yourself killed out there! What are you, some kind of adrenaline junkie?

He gently pets its head with his finger as he ''talks'' to it.

Sonic: It must be rough being slow all the time. ...tell you what? Today... is your lucky day!

He then proceeds to give it a full-speed ride down the road (as it comically smiles🤣)

Sonic: Woooooooooohohohooooooooooo!!!!!! Have you ever felt so alive?!

He holds it in one hand as he imitates himself catching up to a plane.

Sonic: This is great; You're doing amazing!

But only a few seconds later, it flies out of his hand.

Sonic: Oh, geez!

Sonic almost immediately runs to retrieve it and then gets back on track only a second or two later.

Sonic: Good recovery!

Sonic: "soon echoing through the silent forest" Hohohohohoooooooo!!!!

Woods, late noon.

He then comes to an instantaneous halt and sets the shaking turtle down on the ground.

Sonic: Let's keep this our little secret, okay? "whispering in a mysterious voice" You never saw me...I was never here...

Sonic zooms through the forest into his new home in the trunk of a tree.

Sonic: So what were you expecting? A dirty little hedgehog eating berries and struggling to survive? Think again; because I am living my best life on Earth. I've got a library... A home gym... and a state-of-the-art security system.

As he plays ping-pong with himself (with the table being a road sign that says ''Hill Top Rd - Next Exit'' ...he accidentally hits Longclaw's Ring Satchel, which spills out several rings, half of the sunflower necklace, and a papyrus once it hits the ground.

Sonic: Oh no...!

He quickly gathers the rings and the necklace and puts them back before then taking a look at the papyrus which turns out to be a planetary map of some sort akin to the Nordic map of the 9 realms.

Sonic: And if I'm ever discovered or I can't find my protector, I'll follow Longclaw's instructions and use my Rings to escape to a new planet.

Sonic holds up a ring to the map so as to take a reference of some sort.

Sonic: A nice, safe world filled only with mushrooms.

Sonic tosses it, and it opens up a portal to the Mushroom Planet.

Sonic: Gross. smelly. mushrooms.

Sonic: "Looking at the portal with a less than pleased face" I hate mushrooms.
