Tom drives Sonic to Rachel's house and carries him to the front door wrapped in a blanket with Y/N following him in her black hooded jacket that covers up her head and face.

"Come on, buddy. You're gonna be alright. You'll be alright."

"He better be or I'll never forgive myself for this."

Tom knocks on the door and Rachel answers.

"Is Maddie here?"

"No, no. Not today. Goodbye!"

Rachel slams the door in Tom's face and he tries to get in.

"It's an emergency!"

"Bye-bye!"

"Rachel, stop! Please! Maddie! Don't do this! This is important!"

Maddie walks in and tries to let Tom in.

"Oh, my God! Rachel, let him in!"

Tom runs inside along with Y/N.

"I am calling the police! No, I am calling the FBI. I am calling the CIA." Rachel ranted.

"Stop, don't do that." Tom exclaimed.

"I am calling your mother!"

"Okay, got it!" Maddie tried to calm her sister.

"Maddie, can we talk?"

"Tom, what's going on?! You're-you're all over the news, I've been trying to call you!"

"I had to ditch my phone so they couldn't track me."

"Ditch his phone?!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Track you?!" Maddie exclaimed in shock.

Y/N felt like this situation isn't helping as she stayed quiet.

Jojo runs up to Tom and hugs him.

"Uncle Tommy!"

"Jojo, hey!"

Rachel pulls Jojo away from Tom.

"Now your niece is an accessory to treason!"

"No, she's not." Tom argued.

"Would you calm down?" Maddie scolded.

"Calm down?! I will not calm down!"

Ozzy walks in as Maddie and Rachel argue with each other.

"Enough!"

"Yes, calm down. Stop talking."

Ozzy barks at him.

"No. Ozzy, please. Good to see you, too."

Tom leans forward a little, which almost gives Sonic away. Y/N immediately calms the dog down as she calmly goes over to Ozzy and scratches his chin and pats his head, making him stop barking.

"Oh, Little Lord Baby Jesus! What is that, Tom? Is that plutonium?! Is it e-mails? Also, who's that with you?!" Rachel demanded, seeing Y/N with Ozzy.

"Yes, it's plutonium. Also, this is my friend Y/N."

He turns to Maddie.

"Can we please go in the other room and talk--"

Ozzy begins to pull the sleeve of her jacket, making her panic and try to keep her jacket on where her hood covers her head.

"Whoa! Easy boy!"

"Stop it, Ozzy! Quit it!" Tom scolded, noticing this.

"This is why I told you he was no good!" Rachel said.

"I'm not engaging!" Maddie shouted.

"No, Ozzy! Quit it!"

Ozzy starts tugging on her sleeve even harder and everyone is arguing all at once.

"Ozzy, no! Ozzy, no!" Tom scolded again.

Ozzy yanks the jacket off over her head, revealing Y/N. Y/N tries to back away and accidentally pull down the blanket to reveal Tom is carrying the unconscious Sonic and everyone stops talking.

"Oh, catch me, Jojo."

Rachel then faints at the sight of the two hedgehogs.

"Oh, thank God." Tom sighed in relief.

"Hehe... Hi." Y/N awkwardly waved.

Maddie pulls Jojo close to her.

"Can I get a glass of water?" Tom asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile in Robotnik's truck interior, Robotnik puts on a pair of headphones and opens a music playlist called Tunes of Anarchy on his holographic computer, and the song "Where Evil Grows" by The Poppy Family plays as he spins around in his chair and begins to analyze Sonic's quill first. He touches some power conductors to the quill, which causes the power inside his lab to go out. Robotnik is now carrying a match to see where he's going and he opens up the breaker panel and turns on the backup power and the music resumes with Robotnik dancing and lights flashing as the quill is inserted into a capsule. He then does the same to Y/N's quill as it gives off the green energy around it. Robotnik then starts playing holographic videos of a snowcap and a Tyrannosaurus Rex running down the street and dances along with them to fit the theme like skiing down the slopes and running away from the dinosaur. During the T-Rex chase, Robotnik mimics his head getting chomped by the dinosaur and keeps dancing as the lights in his truck flash like strobelights. And as Robotnik dances, he doesn't notice Agent Stone dancing with him. Eventually, he does notice and he screams as the music and flashing lights stop. Agent Stone holds out two coffee cups.

"I just thought you might like a latte with steamed Austrian goat milk."

"What do I look like, an imbecile? Of course I want a latte! I LOVE THE WAY YOU MAKE THEM!!"

Robotnik and Agent Stone hear a beeping noise and they see the power level of Sonic's quill is at "UNLIMITED", then to Y/N's quill as the level is at "UNKNOWN", making it more powerful, which makes Robotnik smile evilly.

"Ready the prototype. With these kind of power, my machines can finally reach their full potential."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back in Rachel's house, Sonic is lying unconscious on the kitchen table.

"He's gonna be okay, Jojo." Tom assured.

Maddie walks in with her first aid kit.

"Oh, thank God. He's gonna be okay, right?"

"Will he survive?" Y/N asked worriedly.

"I'm a vet, Tom. I don't even know what I'm looking at here. Or her."

"My brother's a hedgehog like me." Y/N explained.

"He talks too?" Maddie asked.

"Yes." Y/N nodded.

"Almost constantly." Tom added.

"Okay."

Maddie feels for Sonic's pulse.

"Holy..."

"What?"

"Is something wrong with my brother?"

"His pulse is super fast."

"That actually might be normal for him. I don't know. You gotta help him, Maddie."

"Please... He's the only brother I ever have."

"I don't know his physiology. He doesn't seem to have any broken bones. He's just really banged up."

Maddie takes off Sonic's shoes.

"Oh, look at his poor little feet."

Jojo looks at Sonic's worn-out shoes.

"I always ask him if he needs a new pair of shoes, but he denied it and not listened to me." Y/N sighed, shaking her head.

"Hang in there, buddy. You're gonna be all right." Tom said.

Jojo notices Y/N's necklace as the chains around her neck are becoming rusted and walks out of the kitchen and past Rachel, who is tied up in the living room.

"Jojo? Untie your mother. Jojo! Untie Mommy."

Jojo ignores Rachel as she goes upstairs.

"Sweetie. Jojo!"

She looks around.

"I have to go to the bathroom."

"He's gonna be okay, right? He'll snap out of this. He'll wake up soon? Oh, smelling salts! Don't you have, like, vet smelling salts, like, for cats or parakeets or something?" Tom urgedly asked.

"No. They don't make cat smelling salts." Maddie shook her head.

"They should."

"I have HUMAN smelling salts in my HUMAN first aid kit."

She opens up the kit and takes out the smelling salts.

"Okay."

She then cracks the capsule and holds it close to Sonic's nose.

"Here we go."

"Come on, buddy." Tom pleaded.

"Please wake up." Y/N pleaded.

As soon as he gets a whiff of the smelling salts, Sonic immediately wakes up and talks very fast.

"Gotta go fast!!"

Sonic starts zipping and speeding all over the kitchen before coming to a complete stop back at the table.

"Where am I? What year is it? Is The Rock president?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy, you're okay. Calm down." Tom said.

"Take it easy, bro." Y/N said.

Sonic notices Maddie and smiles.

"Oh, hi, Pretzel Lady!"

"Hi... Tom?" Maddie awkwardly greeted back.

"Yeah?" Tom answered.

"Can I talk to you, please?"

Maddie leads Tom out of the kitchen and faces Sonic and Y/N.

"Space hedgehogs, stay there. Try to rest."

She closes the doors.

"Um... okay. Are you going to be alright with all of... this?" Y/N asked, looking concern.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Maddie waved off.

"You got it. I am great at resting. I rest faster than anybody." Sonic said as the door closes on them.

While Tom and Maddie are talking privately, Y/N jumped up to Sonic and hugged him tight.

"Whoa! Sis! What's wrong?"

He heard her sniffing.

"Don't ever do that again. I thought I lost you..."

Sonic smiled softly and hugged her back.

"I'm not going anywhere. Nothing can stop me."

"You better promise me that you don't do anything reckless like that ever again."

He pulled away from her and pulled out his pinkie finger.

"I promise."

Y/N smiled and locked her pinkie against his.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Tom and Maddie

"Still talking." Tom said.

"Um, first of all, can we take a moment to acknowledge how under control I've been?" Maddie calmly said.

"Uh, amazing."

"Didn't freak out."

"No."

"Totally calm."

Maddie fist bumps Tom.

"Thank you."

"Second of all... what the heck is going on?! Are those things aliens?!"

"Okay, so, remember how Crazy Carl is always going on about the blue devil and the light blue angel?"

"The Blue Devil and The Light Blue Angel! That's them? They're real?"

"Yeah."

"What are they doing here? What are you doing here?"

"I kinda, sorta, shot our little blue friend with your tranq gun. His sister is not happy and almost tried to kill me."

"No, you did not."

Maddie gives Tom a suspicious look and crosses her arms.

"I didn't mean to. Okay, this is kinda hard for me to explain. And it's gonna sound a little bit crazy. They have to get to the Transamerica building, and I promised I'd take them.

"Uh-uh! Aliens? Maddie, your husband's lost his mind. Use this as an opportunity to leave him. No one would judge you!" Rachel exclaimed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back in the kitchen, Jojo returns to Sonic and Y/N and presents him with brand new running shows in red with white straps.

"So you won't hurt your feet anymore."

"Really?" Sonic asked, looking surprised.

"Uh-huh." Jojo nodded.

"Wow. That's really nice of you. Thank you." Y/N smiled kindly at her.

Sonic takes the shoes.

"No one's ever given me a gift before. I gotta check that off my bucket list."

Sonic tries on the shoes and grows excited over them, which makes Jojo and Y/N happy.

"Alright! Looking good!"

Jojo turns to Y/N.

"Your chains around your neck were rusted so I thought you might need this. This is real gold."

She presents her the golden chains.

"Whoa... I... I don't know what to say. Thanks, Jojo."

Jojo smiles cutely at her as Y/N unchained the old necklace from her neck and replaced it with the real gold chain as she attached the emerald to it before placing it back around her neck, liking this new brand.

"Nice. You've got some good taste in jewelry."

"Thank you."

Jojo then notices the guitar case next to Y/N.

"Do you play?"

"Yeah. You wanna hear it?"

Jojo nodded along with Sonic, looking forward to it.

Back to Maddie and Tom

"Okay, you said you wanted to help people in real trouble, right? Well, that's what you're doing. Blue and Light Blue alien hedgehogs still count as people, right?" Maddie pointed out, getting to the point.

"I think so, too." Tom said.

"Yeah."

"I think."

"Okay."

"I love you. Did I tell you that already?"

Maddie starts leading Tom away.

"I don't deserve you. You know that?"

"I know that." Rachel stated.

Sonic stares at Ozzy.

"So, you're supposed to be Tom's "best friend" that he won't shut up about."

Ozzy has his tongue out.

"Well, I don't see the appeal."

Ozzy walks over to Sonic and starts licking him, which makes him laugh.

"Stop! That is very gross!"

This made Y/N and Jojo laugh. Y/N then begins to play her guitar and sings as Maddie walks downstairs.

"Hey."

"Hey. So, my truck still runs, but it's pretty much totaled. You think your sister would mind if we borrowed her car?" Tom said.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Rachel scoffed.

"She'll be fine." Maddie assured.

"Yeah, let's do that."

"Mm-hmm."

Maddie and Tom walk out, leaving Rachel tied up.

"This is my house!!"

Maddie and Tom were about to tell Sonic and Y/N that they're leaving when they heard the music. They look over to see Y/N singing to Sonic, Jojo, and Ozzy as she plays the strings of her guitar.

Once she was done singing and playing, Sonic and Jojo claps at her wonderful performance once again while Ozzy wags his tail in approval. Maddie was surprised at how good she plays. Tom smiles at this, thinking this through as those songs made him rethink his decision about this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

San Francisco, California

Sonic is driving Rachel's beat-up car very dangerously through the streets of San Francisco.

"Coming through! Whoa, now, this is my turn, and I go around him! Sorry! And, perfect park!"

He then parks lopsidedly at the curb.

"What are you, crazy?!" One of the driver shouted.

Tom exits the car.

"Is there anything you didn't hit?"

"Why did we let the alien drive?" Maddie questioned.

"Hey, I got us here. And please, five stars."

Y/N gives Sonic a glare and pokes him straight in the chest.

"You are forever banned from driving."

"Got it.." Sonic gulped.

Sonic, Y/N, Tom, and Maddie stare out at the towering Transamerica building.

"So, this is it?" Sonic asked.

"That's it. That's your pyramid." Tom said.

"Wow, look at that thing!" Sonic awed.

"What happens now?"

As soon as Maddie finishes her question, Sonic speeds away.

"Oh! He's... gone."

"Yep." Tom nodded.

"Mhm." Y/N nodded.

Sonic comes back to Y/N, Tom and Maddie.

"No good. You need a special key to get to the roof."

"What now?" Maddie asked.

"Time for me to abuse the power entrusted to me." Tom said.

Tom, Y/N, who's in her same black hooded jacket, and Maddie walk to the reception desk, with Tom carrying Sonic in a duffle bag. Tom, Y/N, and Maddie nod at each other and they approach the front desk.

"We got a jumper on the roof. Gotta get up there fast or we're gonna have a human pancake on our hands."

Tom produces his badge.

"You came all the way from Montana." Receptionist questioned.

"Yeah. That's how serious it is."

There's a prolonged pause as everyone looks at each other until the receptionist hands Tom the key.

"Okay."

Tom takes the key.

"You just saved a life."

Tom, Y/N, and Maddie wait for the elevator to be taken to the roof of the building. As they wait, a businessman and a businesswoman join them, also waiting.

"How much longer? I can't breathe in here! Hello? Anybody there?" Sonic shouted through the bag.

"Do you have your child in that bag?" Businesswoman asked in worry.

"No. I mean, yes, it's a child, but it's not mine." Tom denied.

"It's not your child?" Businesssman asked.

"Relax. I'm a cop, okay? Plus, he likes it in there, don't you, buddy?"

Tom shakes the bag a little

"Why would I like it in here? This is worse than the dog cage you had me in earlier!"

"Such a kidder." Tom laughed.

Maddie and Y/N laughs with him as Maddie closes the zipper.

"Okay."

"No, I'm scared of the dark!" Sonic exclaimed.

The businessman and businesswoman slowly move away.

"Is anybody there?"

"Would you shut up for once?!" Y/N sneered quietly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tom, Y/N, Maddie, and Sonic get to the roof of the Transamerica building and they let Sonic out of the duffel bag, who is coughing and gagging and wearing a pair of underwear on his head. Y/N snickers at him, making him glare at her before turning to Tom.

"Ugh! What were you keeping in this bag? A jar of pickled farts?!"

Sonic takes the underwear off his head and stuffs it back into the bag.

"Alright, alright. What are we looking for?" Tom asked.

Sonic sees the Ring satchel and retrieves it and runs back to Tom, Y/N, and Maddie, holding a ring.

"This."

"Okay. What happens now?" Maddie asked.

"Now, all I have to do is think of where I want the other end of the ring to appear, and I throw it." Sonic explained.

"So, that's it? We did it?" Tom asked.

"Yeah! We did it!" Sonic cheered.

"Yeah... We did." Y/N smiled sadly, standing next to her brother.

"Hey, sorry we didn't get to do everything on your bucket list, pal." Tom apologized.

"It's okay. I did the ones I needed the most." Sonic assured.

"Same for me." Y/N assured.

"You two are so cute." Maddie giggled,, gesturing to Tom and Sonic.

"Oh, please. What?"

"We are not."

"No."

"We are not cute. We are a couple of loose cannons just living by our own rules."

"Exactly."

This made Y/N cover her mouth to stop her laughter. Maddie gives them a smug look.

"Really?"

"Yeah." Tom quickly said.

"And our rules include expressing heartfelt emotion." Sonic added on.

"If you say so." Maddie shrugged.

"Okay, then." Y/N said.

"Alright. Um, you two gotta go, right?" Tom asked.

"Yeah, we gotta go." Sonic frowned.

"I gotta go. We gotta go."

"See-- All right, bye-bye."

Sonic and Y/N turns away for a moment, then turns back to Tom and Maddie.

"Just one more thing."

Tom steps forward and kneels down to Sonic's and Y/N's level.

"I'm sorry I was so hard on you. I know it's a tough decision for you to leave Green Hills. Walking away from something you care about has to be painful." Sonic apologized.

"You're not sure you really want to go, huh?" Tom asked.

"We don't want to go, but we can't stay. As long as we're here, we'll put everyone in danger. We can't do that. I just want you to know that these last two days have been the best two days of mine and my brother's life." Y/N said.

Sonic and Y/N smiles and so does Tom as he stands back up and walks back over to Maddie.

"You know, I never thought I'd say this, but, I'm actually gonna miss you, you little blue devil and light blue angel.

"We'll miss you too, Donut Lord. Thank you."

"For what?"

"For saving mine and my sis' life."

"We'll never forget you guys. Thanks for everything." Y/N said sadly.

Sonic and Y/N turns away as Sonic reaches into his satchel, and pulls a Ring out. He tosses it, only to have it bounced off of one of Dr. Robotnik's flying drones, and many more of them start closing in on the four.

"Okay, did someone leave their "Find My Phone" on?"

Sonic and Y/N steps back a few feet but stops at the edge of the roof, and they see a flying aircraft overhead, which is Dr. Robotnik's Eggpod. The ship hovers over to the four and the cockpit opens, revealing Robotnik in an entirely different outfit and with an evil smirk on his face.

"Welcome to San Francisco, Mr. Wachowski. Are you enjoying the clam chowder?"
