Everyone is sleeping peacefully. Suddenly, they are roused by the sound of a loud engine from outside. Y/N woke up and rubbed her eyes, feeling irritated.

"What's that noise? It's so early..."

Tanaka and Ella race outside, the latter with a frying pan, in order to stop the intruder. But they see that it is Sam Speed, who blocks Ella's frying pan and Tanaka's karate with ease.

"Back off! relax! Lighten up! It's me!"

Chuck and Y/N appears in the doorway.

"Blasted Sam. Don't you have any idea what time it is?"

"Sure I do! It's morning!"

"It's 3 AM, man!" Y/N shouted in anger.

"So it's a little early."

"You're lucky I held myself back. I was just about to batter you like a chicken cutlet." Ella yawns and heads back into the house.

"I'm going back to bed." Tanaka departs as well.

"I hope you didn't wake the neighbors." Chuck said.

Y/N patted his arm and pointed at the crowd gathering behind Sam.

"Nice. They're all up." he grumbled.

He and Y/N looked up and saw a few helicopters flying overhead. Chris walks onto the balcony, where Sonic has also been awoken. The former rubs his eyes.

"What's going on? Where'd all those people come from?" Chris questioned.

"I don't know. Looks like they're lined up for a parade." Sonic said.

"Hey Sam, isn't that a new car?" Chuck asked.

"I'm here to challenge Sonic to a road race!" Sam declared.

"A race?" Sonic, Y/N, and Chris questioned.

"Hold on! This is a rocket engine!" Chuck said.

"That's the SS III Super Rocket Engine. It was designed by top engineers in the Office of Science and Technology. Over a billion dollars went into its development."

Sam points at Sonic.

"Sonic, I'm gonna prove once and for all that I'm the fastest guy on the planet!"

Chris looks at Sonic.

"Sonic, are you gonna race against my uncle Sam?"

Sonic stands up.

"No way."

He jumps off the balcony and ran off to the garage. Y/N's eyes widen, not expecting her brother to decline the race. Normally, he would accept any challenges, but this is new.

"Hey, wait! You know, for a hedgehog, you sure are spineless!"

Sam follows Sonic to the garage and throws open the door to the lab, with Chuck and Y/N shortly behind.

"Hey, Sonic! We have a race!"

He awakens Tails, who was sleeping.

"Wha?! Morning already?" Tails sleepily said.

"Sadly, it might as well be. Everyone's already up." Y/N patted his head with a sigh.

"Sonic says he won't race, see?" Chuck said.

"He will race. The starting line will be in front of this house. From here we'll speed downtown, straight through the heart of Station Square. After we blast across the bridge out of the city, the competition will really heat up as we zoom through the desert and navigate the twists and turns of the canyon. A hairpin turn will lead us back to the city. The winner will be the one who reaches the stadium first. There'll be thousand of fans to cheer us on, including the President waiting at the finishing line." Sam explained.

"The President?" Chris questioned.

"How?!" Y/N asked.

"He's gonna congratulate the winner on live TV."

"But why would the government let Uncle Sam use a rocket for a race with Sonic?"

"The S3 was expensive, and they think the race will increase taxpayer support for the project." Chuck said.

"Yeah. You got it."

Sonic, who was reclining on Chuck's chair up to this point, speaks.

"Except we're not gonna race."

"Oh? What's the matter, Sonic? Are you afraid that when our race is over, you'll be known as the second fastest guy on the planet? I'm not gonna take no for an answer, Sonic, and I won't let up until you agree to race me!"

Chris facepalms.

"Why couldn't I have a normal family?"

"Same, Chris. Same." Y/N sighed.

"Or are you afraid that you'll let Y/N down when you loose?"

"Hey! Why am I included?!"

"You leave my sister out of this!" Sonic glares at Sam.

"Look, Sam, you can't expect Station Square to shut down just so you two can have a race." Chuck looked at Sam with a stern look.

"Oh yeah? You wanna bet?"

The TV turns on, showing Scarlet Garcia.

"They're just about ready for the big race at Station Square. The streets will soon be completely clear of traffic, and an enormous crowd is gathering all along the course, waiting for the race to start."

Nelson and Lindsey Thorndyke appear on the screen.

"They're cheering now for the sponsors of today's race - the popular movie star Lindsey Fair, and her handsome mogul husband Nelson Thorndyke."

"This keeps getting worse..." Chris sweatdropped.

"You've got to be kidding me..." Y/N facepalmed.

"I'll bet my nightcap that you're uncle's the one who got them involved in this ridiculous race." Chuck said.

"Well, Sonic? You're not gonna disappoint that crowd, are ya? They've been waiting for hours to see us go human-to-hedgehog!"

"Tough."

"Gaaahhh! Come on!" Sam turns to Y/N. "Y/N! Can't you convince him?"

"Sorry, Sam. It's his choice. Plus, he wouldn't listen if I told him to do it anyway."

"Thank you, sis."

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

Outside, Sam is sitting in his car. Tails, Amy, and Chris are checking it out, while Y/N is watching them, sitting on the steps of the mansion.

"It's cool!"

"It does look fast."

"My uncle Sam wouldn't drive it if it weren't cool and fast."

Y/N rolled her eyes at their compliments when her I-Phone started to ring and looked at the ID to find Hikaru and answered it.

"Hey, Hikaru. What's up?"

........

"WHAT?!"

The others looked at her confused, and she gave them the apology look and whispered.

"What do you mean? Jerome is behind this? To convince Eggman to..."

.......

"Okay. Thanks. I'll talk to you later."

Y/N hangs up and dialed a new number. The caller answered.

.......

"Hey, Rouge. It's me."

.......

Y/N suddenly blushed, remembering giving her the bag of jewels during her mission with Knuckles.

"Yeah... You're welcome. But this is important and I want you to listen closely. It's about Jerome."

Later

"Alright. Thanks, Rouge."

......

"Er... Right... L-Love you...too...."

Y/N hung up, shaking her head and turned back to the group when she suddenly hears the sound of Bokkun's laughing and looked up.

"Oh, brother..."

"What does he want now?"

"Where's Sonic? I have to see him now. I brought a message with me!"

Sonic is reclining on the railing of the balcony. Bokkun lands in front of him.

"Wake up! I have a message for ya!"

Sonic stands up and gets ready to make a run for it.

"Relax! I promise this one isn't gonna blow up in the end."

"Alright... What is it?"

"You better enter that race, Sonic, or else you'll have to face this!"

Bokkun reaches into his bag and pulls out the robot from earlier; only it has a giant set of lips. Sonic leaps off the railing and runs to the opposite side. The robot runs toward him and leaps into the air. Sonic dodges the attack, causing it to kiss the railing. Bokkun is laughing hysterically. Sonic leaps onto a chair, but the robot jumps onto the table right in front of him.

"Yuck! I don't wanna take any lip from that robot!"

Y/N heard Sam revs the motor.

"And I'll race!"

The robot flies toward him, but Sonic leaps off the balcony, causing the robot to kiss Bokkun instead. As Sam revs the motor again, Sonic heads over to the car, where Chris and Chuck are gathered.

"You sure, Sonic?" Y/N looked at him.

"I'm sure, sis. Besides, I've got nothing else to do besides napping." he said and turned to Sam.

"Are you gonna play with that pedal all day?"

Chris and Chuck look up in surprise.

"Or are we gonna have a race?"

Sam smirks.

The Thorndykes and Y/N and her and her brother's friends are among the spectators at the starting line.

"I just don't get it. What made Sonic change his mind?" Amy asked.

"I guess he couldn't resist the challenge." Tails guessed.

"More like someone convinced him and set him up to race." Y/N mumbled.

Chuck is holding the green flag.

"On your mark... Get set..."

The racers prepare themselves. Chuck waves the flag.

"GO!"

Immediately Sam's car takes off, causing Sonic to choke on the dust. Sonic takes off after Sam.

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

Y/N was helping Ella, Cream, and Cheese with Sonic's lunch as she make chili dogs just the way he like them. She placed them in the lunch box along with cold can of soda and some potato chips. She looked through the news as Scarlet Garcia is giving live coverage of the race.

"This is Scarlet Garcia reporting from News Chopper 1. We now continue out live coverage of the road race of the century as Sonic the Hedgehog takes on Sam Speed. After a delayed start, the racers left the Thorndyke Mansion and are now speeding through downtown Station Square. Our racers are about to enter the most dangerous part of the course as they steer through these narrow streets at super-high speed. But is the rocket car maneuverable enough to make those hypervelocity turns?"

Sonic races ahead of Sam and easily weaves his way through the buildings. Several garage doors open, and Sam drives right through them.

"What a show off."

Sonic leaps onto the front of the rocket car and relaxes, completely obstructing Sam's view. He stands up and moves to the top and to the back of the car. Then, he was went flying in the opposite direction by the spring that set up by Sam.

"Strange. What's Sonic doing? Why is he going the wrong way? It certainly is an odd tactic."

"Cheater."

Y/N gritted her teeth with viens popping up from her fist. The race continues into the desert. Sonic catches up. Suddenly,a massive dust cloud can be seen ahead, and E-45 Sumo: Man emerges from it.

"You may not pass! Turn back!"

Sam's rocket car rotates the rocket car's wings.

"Turn back or be destroyed!"

But Sam has passed Sumo-Man and is driving away.

"Stop now! ... I order you to halt and reverse your course now!"

But Sonic passes him by as well.

Y/N shook her head.

"Typical Eggman... Finished packing his lunch!"

"Us, too. Let's go get to him." Ella said.

Tails, Y/N, and Chris got inside the X-Tornado and zoomed through town to the desert where Sonic and Sam are neck to neck.

"Hey, Sonic!" Chris called, holding out a container of food. "Ella sent some ham sandwiches and milk for ya!"

"Wow, Chris, thanks! That looks deli--"

Suddenly, Sam drives past Sonic, coating him, Chris, and the food in sand.

"My bad, heh!"

"You bastard!!" Y/N shouted.

"I'll pass on the sandwich!"

"Sorry, Sonic. See you at the finish line."

"Right!"

"Don't worry! I got you your chili dogs! Your favorite! Including a soda and some chips!" Y/N threw Sonic a packed lunchbox.

"Thank you so much, sis!"

"You're welcome!"

As the X-Tornado flies away, Sam glare at Y/N who stuck her tongue out with 'L' finger sign on her head, calling him loser. They flew to the finish line where everyone is already here, including Hikaru as Y/N got off and greeted him with a hug.

"This road race is still up for grabs as our racers prepare to speed through the canyon. Our racers have reached the halfway point and are now speeding back toward Station Square. Sonic and Sam Speed are still running neck-and-neck." Scarlet said through the TV.

As photographers prepare for a photo finish, Jerome checks his watch with Y/N giving him the suspicious glare.

"What's taking the President so long? The race is going to finish soon."

His cell phone rings. He answers it.

"Hello? ... What? But can't the President hold his emergency security meeting later? ... Alright. If it can't be changed..."

He hangs up.

"I'll fill in. It's just as well. I'm more photogenic than the President anyway. In fact, I'm more lovable than my boring boss too! I can use this race to launch my own campaign. Then the world will call me Mr. President!"

He laughs aloud.

"What are you laughing at?" Amy asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Yeah, what's the deal?" Y/N asked.

Jerome looks at them.

"Oh, nothing..."

He continues giggling, and Amy shrugs. Y/N kept a glare at him.

"Now, the two challengers are racing into the city, and pulling out all the stops as they speed toward the stadium!"

The crowd cheers. Just then, Sam's rocket car bursts ahead.

"Look out! Sam Speed is pulling away!"

Sonic speeds ahead too, and they both crossed the finish line. It is indeed a photo finish. The crowd cheers.

"Well, it looks like we have a tie! That was close! The judges will examine photos to see if they can determine a winner. The results will be posted on the stadium monitor."

The big screen shows Sonic leaping over the finish line tape, posing for the camera, then heading back for a photo finish. Sonic smugly rubs under his nose, and Sam looks shocked.

"Amazing! Sonic not only crossed the finish line first; he went back for an encore! Sonic is the winner!"

"I knew Sonic would win."

"Congratulations!" Amy runs up to Sonic and hugs him.

"Eh, it's no big deal."

"Oh, Sonic. Well done." Lindsey said, handing him a bouquet of roses.

"Thanks a lot." Sonic said and looked over as he and Sam exchange a wink and thumbs-up.

"Sonic! That was just great." Jerome said.

Sonic looks at the cameras.

"Sonic! Shake my hand. Hurry up so they can take our picture together." he whispered.

Sonic grits his teeth as well as Y/N. Just then Jerome's cell phone rings. He answers it.

"Hello? ... Oh, hi there, Vivian! ... What? I'm under investigation for negotiating with Dr. Eggman?"

Immediately, the press begins taking photos.

"No! There's no way I'll be President now!" he groaned as Sonic shrugs, not caring.

Y/N and Hikaru snickered and high-fived each other.

"Great job, Detective Hikaru."

"Nah! It was nothing!"

"I mean it." she ruffled his blonde hair. "Oh, and I almost forgot. Amy? Can you please hand over your hammer? I would like to have a nice talk with Sam~"

"Oh? Okay." Amy handed it to her.

Y/N turned to the S-Team and they flinched to see her with a sadistic smile, holding the hammer over her shoulder, reminding them of Harley Quinn. They ran away, leaving Sam alone as he's starting to sweat bullets everywhere.

"Now~ Would you like to see how awesome Amy's hammer can do to someone who tried to make Sonic lose by cheating and playing dirty?~"

Sam quickly scrambled away with her quick on his tail with her hammer raised up ready to strike.
