S1: Chapter 21: Fast Friends

It was night time and everyone was sound asleep until Chris everyone was awoken by a loud car engine.

Chris: Ah! What's that?

Y/n walked outside.

Y/n: What the Hell is going on out here?!

He saw a red race car.

Y/n: Is that?

Ella and Tanaka ran out shouting with a frying pan and with a karate chop but Sam who came out of the car blocked them.

Sam: Back off! Relax, lighten up. It's me.

Tanaka/Ella: Huh?

Chuck came out too.

Chuck: Blast it, Sam! Don't you have any idea what time it is?

Y/n: Yeah, whatever you need, couldn't it have waited til morning?

Sam: But it is morning.

Chuck: It's 3:00 a.m!

Y/n: Way too early for whatever you want.

Sam: So it's a little early.

Ella: You're lucky, I held myself back. I was just about to batter you like a chicken cutlet.

Tanaka: I'm going back to bed.

Chuck: I hope you didn't wake the neighbors.

A bunch of people were looking at them.

Y/n: And he woke them up.

A bunch of helicopters were flying up above and Chris walked on his balcony rubbing his eyes.

Chris: What's going on?

Chris saw the crowd of people.

Chris: Where'd all those people come from?

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

Chuck: Hey, Sam, isn't that a new car?

Y/n: Is this the reason why you woke all these people up? So you could show off your new car?

Sam: Guess you don't always get it right, Y/n.

Y/n: Then why did you come here?

Sam pointed his finger at Y/n.

Sam: I'm here to challenge you and Sonic to a road race!

Chris/Sonic/Y/n: A race?

Chuck went behind the car to look at its engine.

Chuck: Hold on! This is a rocket engine.

Sam: That's the SS3 Super Rocket Engine. It was designed by top engineers at the Office of Science and Technology. Over a billion dollars went into its development.

Y/n: All that money to build an engine when I could have just made you one for a reasonable price.

Sam turned to him and Sonic.

Sam: Sonic and Y/n, I'm gonna prove once and for all I'm the fastest guy on the planet.

Chris: Sonic and Y/n, are you both gonna race against my Uncle Sam?

Sonic got up.

Sonic: No way!

He leaped away.

Sam: Hey, wait! What about you, Y/n?

Y/n: I couldn't give any less of a damn about your little race.

Sam: So, is that a no?

Y/n: It is.

Y/n ran back inside.

Sam: You know for a couple of hedgehogs, both of you sure are spineless.

Sam followed them into the lad.

Sam: Hey, Sonic and Y/n, we have a race.

Tails was sleeping in the lab and he woke up.

Tails: Huh! Huh? Morning already?

Later.

Chuck: Sonic and Y/n both said they won't race. See?

Tails: Huh?

Sam: They 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 will be thousands of fans to cheer us on, including the President waiting at the finish line.

Chris: The President?

Sam: He's gonna congratulate the winner on live TV.

Y/n: Why is the President making this stupid race a priority?

Sam: It was actually the idea of his aide, Jerome. He said something like...

Jerome: The coverage will increase his poll numbers. The President is sure to win re-election in a landslide.

Y/n: I knew that Jerome would do something among those lines.

Chris: But why would the government let Uncle Sam use their rocket for a race with Sonic and Y/n?

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

Sam: Yeah, you got it.

Sonic: Except we're not gonna race.

Y/n: Yeah, not now, not ever.

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

Y/n: Cool story, now go choke on a muffin.

Chris: (Faceplam) Why couldn't I have a normal family?

Chuck: Look, Sam. You can't expect Station Square to shutdown just so you three can have a race.

Sam: Oh, yeah? You wanna bet?

He turned the TV on and Scarlet Garcia came on.

Scarlet: They're just about ready for the big race here 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.

Tails gasped at the sight.

Scarlet: They're cheering now for the sponsors of today's race-

The sponsors were Chris's parents.

Scarlet: The popular movie star, Lindsey Fair, and her handsome mogul husband, Nelson Thorndyke.

Chris: This keeps getting worse.

Y/n: Tell me about it, if I do for some reason agree to do this race, I will have a retarded actress and a sissy man as my sponsors.

Chuck: I'll bet my nightcap that your uncle's the one who got them involved in this ridiculous race, Chris.

Sam: Well, Sonic and Y/n? You're not gonna disappoint that crowd, are you? They've been waiting for hours to see us go human to hedgehog.

Sonic/Y/n: Tough.

Sam: (scream) Come on!

At the white house.

Jerome was sleeping.

Jerome: (sleep talking) Hello, my dear.

He kissed nothing as he was still asleep but he woke up when his phone rang and he picked it up.

Jerome: Yeah? Who's this?

Sam: (on the other line) Sonic and Y/n won't race me! Do something! The President should order them to compete!

Jerome: Who is this?

He hung up and started to go back to bed.

Jerome: Sonic and Y/n won't race. That's too bad. But, if they won't race...

He laid down but jolted up immediately.

Jerome: If Sonic and Y/n don't race Sam Speed, my career is over.

He started to imagine a whole crowd going against the President.

Jerome: The President will probably impeached before the next election, and all because Sonic and Y/n won't race. We've got to do something! We'll call out the military. The Army... the Navy... and the Air Force! (maniacal laugh) That should help convince Sonic and Y/n to change their minds. No. The Secretary of Defense will probably make a fuss about it. I know! I'll go over their heads.

Later.

It was now daytime and both Tails and Amy were looking at Sam's car.

Tails: It's cool!

Amy: It does look fast!

Chris: My Uncle Sam wouldn't drive it if it wasn't cool and fast.

He heard Bokkun laughing from as he flew to Chris.

Chris: Oh, brother.

Bokkun: Where are Sonic and Y/n? I have to see them now. I brought a message with me.

Bokkun went to the balcony where Sonic was taking a nap.

Bokkun: Wake up! I have a message for you.

Sonic open his eyes.

Sonic : Huh? Oh!

Bokkun: Relax. I promise this one isn't gonna blow up in the end.

Sonic: All right, what is it?

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

Bokkun went into his bag and pulled out a robot with giant lips.

Lip robot: Hi, there.

The robot tried to kiss Sonic while Bokkun just watched laughing.

Sonic: Yuck! I don't want to take any lip from that robot.

Sonic heard Sam testing his engine and remembered what he said.

Sam: I'm not gonna take no for an answer, Y/n and Sonic, and I won't let up until you both agree to race me!

The lip robot started heading towards Sonic.

Sonic: Then I'll race.

He jumped out of the way causing the lip robot to kiss Bokkun instead.

Bokkun: Yuck! I better hurry up and give this message to Y/n.

Bokkun took the robot and went to the backyard to see Y/n continuing Cream's Spindash training.

Y/n: You're getting better, Cream.

Cream: Thank you. I've been practicing like you said.

Bokkun flew down to them.

Bokkun: Isn't this just sweet?

Cream hid behind Y/n.

Bokkun: Well, hello to you too.

Y/n: What do you want?

Bokkun: If you don't agree to race that Sam guy like Sonic did, you're going to have to face this.

Bokkun pulled out the lip robot but Y/n quickly slashed it in half.

Bokkun: Huh?

Y/n: Look, if you already have Sonic on board, why do you need me?

Cream got an idea.

Cream: You know, I'll probably be watching the race.

This got Y/n's attention.

Cream: And I would be the saddest little bunny in the world if I didn't see you pass that finish line, Y/n.

Y/n thought for a moment.

Y/n: I'll do it.

Meanwhile.

Sam was still testing his engine.

Sonic: Are you gonna play with that pedal all day?

Chris/Chuck/Sam: Huh?

Sonic: Or are we going to have a race?

Y/n: I am also eager to start racing.

They saw Y/n sitting in a tree.

Y/n: Plus, it's been awhile since I had to use my full speed.

Sam: Wait, what do you mean by "Full speed,"

Y/n: You didn't seriously think that I was giving it my full speed, did you?

He slipped into his socks and pulled out two leg weights.

Chris: What are those things.

Chuck: They look like some kind of weights.

Y/n: Much better.

Sonic: Come on, do you seriously think you can beat me just by dropping a few pounds?

Y/n smiled a bit and dropped the weights and it caused dust to come up when they hit the ground shocking everyone including Sonic.

Chuck: He ran with those on?!

Y/n disappeared for a split second and he appeared by Sonic.

Y/n: Still want to go?

Sam looked more determined and the three of them went to the starting line where a whole bunch of people were waiting for the race.

Amy: I just don't get it. What made Sonic and Y/n change their minds?

Tails: I guess Sonic couldn't resist the challenge.

Chris: Y/n told me that he just realized how much he wanted to show off his speed.

Chuck was waving a big green flag.

Chuck: On your mark. Get set. Go!

Sam blew Sonic and Y/n back when he started his engine and that caused Sam to get a head start.

Y/n: Dirty trick.

Y/n and Sonic also started running and the commentary work was being done by Scarlet Garcia.

Scarlet: This is Scarlet Garcia reporting from News Chopper One. We now continue our live coverage of the road race of the century, as Sonic the Hedgehog, Y/n the Hedgehog , and Sam Speed take each other on in a race. After a delayed start, the racers left the Thorndyke Mansion and are now speeding through downtown Station Square. Huh? Where's Y/n?

Camera man: He's moving so fast, our camera can't see him. Here.

He fixed the camera a bit and they were able to see Y/n.

Camera man: There we go.

Y/n took the early lead.

Sonic: Hey, Sam.

Sam: Yeah, what?

Sonic: I thought this was supposed to be a road race, but your rocket car doesn't even touch the asphalt. What's up? That thing doesn't even have wheels.

Y/n: Actually, it does.

Sonic: Huh?

Sam: Look close.

Sonic looked close and saw that Sam's car had the same type of wheels as an airplane.

Sam: You see? The wheels guide the glide.

Sonic: What if you get a flat?

Scarlet: 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 hyper-velocity turns?

Sam: It'll be easy.

Sonic: Oh, yeah? Then prove it!

Y/n: We'll see which is better, your rocket engine or my super sharp reflexes?

Y/n and Sonic ran ahead and they were easily able to make those turns.

Sam: Great, both those hedgehogs have gone way ahead. Commence project straight-away now.

The garage doors of every house Sam needed to maneuver around opened and Sam went straight through them.

Sam: Sorry, Sonic and Y/n, but being chief of the S Team gives me the kind of clout that really opens doors in the city.

Sam took the lead.

Y/n: That son of a bitch.

The two hedgehogs caught up to Sam.

Sonic: That wasn't fair!

Sam: Tough luck.

Sonic growled a bit and jumped on Sam's hood, blocking Sam's site.

Sam: Oh! Get off of my hood, Sonic!

Sonic: Nice breeze here.

Sam: Hitching a ride is against the rules.

Sonic: Tough luck.

Sam: Hah! Okay, you got me, but would you mind moving to the back some so I can see where I'm going?

Sonic did get up and started to go back a bit.

Sam: Thank you.

Sonic: Right here?

Sam: Further back.

Sonic went all the way to the back of the car.

Sonic: How's this?

Sam: Great. Right there'll do just fine.

Sam hit a button and Sonic got ejected upward.

Sam: Bye, Sonic.

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

Meanwhile.

Y/n was way ahead of Sam and now sitting on a rock.

Y/n: That Sam Speed is just full of cheap tricks.

He then saw Sam's car catching up.

Y/n: Well, guess it's time to get back on the road.

Y/n disappeared again but to Sam it was more like him just running.

Sam: Y/n? How did you get so far ahead?

Y/n: While you and Sonic were cheap shoting each other, I used that opportunity to run ahead. Speaking of Sonic, I'm pretty sure whatever you did was a complete bust because he's catching up to us.

They looked back and saw Sonic going after them.

Sam: That can't be Sonic!

He gasped as he saw a giant sumo robot come out of nowhere.

Sumo robot: You may not pass! Turn back!

Sonic: A road block?

Sam: Hey!

Y/n ran right past the sumo robot and Sam hit some kind of button.

Sumo robot: Turn back or be destroyed!

The sumo robot smack towards Sam's car seemingly hitting it.

Sumo robot: Yeah. Take that!

In reality Sam dug underneath it and came back up.

Sam: Sucker!

Sumo robot: Huh? Stop now!

Sonic was still running towards it.

Sumo robot: I order you to halt and reverse your course now!

Sonic ran right passed the Sumo robot.

Sumo robot: How could I have missed Sonic? Dr. Eggman will punish me. I had better punish myself first!

The sumo robot punched itself in the face and he went flying.

Y/n: I wonder why Robotnik got involved in this?

Sonic: Who knows?

Sam: Wow! It's already lunchtime.

A burger and drink came out of the glove Department and Sam started eating.

Y/n: You're eating in the middle of a race?

Sam: Yeah. Do either of you want a bite?

Sonic: No, thanks.

Y/n: Same.

They both ran ahead.

Sonic: Come to think of it, I am pretty hungry.

Y/n: Not me. I trained myself to go 2 to 3 days without eating.

Chris: Hey, Sonic!

Sonic: Huh?

Chris flew down near Sonic with Tails to give Sonic a lunchbox.

Chris: Ella sent some ham sandwiches and milk for you.

Sonic: Wow, thank, Chris. That looks del...

Sam drove past them and covered both them and the lunchbox with sand.

Sam: My bad, heh.

Sonic: I'll pass on the sandwich

Chris: Sorry, Sonic, see you at the finish line.

Sonic: Right!

With Y/n.

He got ahead again and that's when his stomach started to grumble.

Y/n: I guess going full speed takes more energy than I thought.

He sat on another rock.

Y/n: But what do I even have to eat?

The X Tornado flew to Y/n.

Chris: Hey, Y/n.

Y/n: Chris? Why is there sand in your hair?

Chris: We'll worry about that later. Cream wanted me to give something to you.

Chris gave Y/n a small box.

Y/n: What is it?

He opened it and there was a cupcake inside.

Chris: Cream said that it's a special cream cupcake just for you.

Y/n: I've never had a cupcake before.

He took of the cupcake wrapper and took a bite.

Y/n: This is the best thing I've ever had.

He finished it a stood back up.

Y/n: Time to get back to the race.

Chris: Good luck.

Chris and Tails flew off and Y/n caught up to Sam and Sonic.

Scarlet: This road race is still up for grabs. As our racers prepare to speed through the canyon.

Sonic, Y/n and Sam made it to the canyon ran for a bit than turned at the turning point and they started to go for the finish line.

Scarlet: Our three racers have reached the halfway point and are now speeding back toward Station Square. Sonic, Y/n, and Sam Speed are still neck and neck.

Everyone was watching the race from the stadium and Jerome was waiting for the President there.

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

His phone started ringing and he answered.

Jerome: Hello? What? But can't the President hold his emergency security meeting later? All right. If it can't be changed...

He hung up.

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

He started laughing.

???: What are you laughing at?

Jerome: Huh? Huh?

He looked down and saw Amy.

Jerome: Oh, nothing.

He laughed more and it came back to the race.

Scarlet: Now, our three challengers are racing into the city and pulling out all the stops as they speed toward the stadium.

They were getting closer as the crowd started cheering load and suspense was building up on who was going to win.

Amy: Come on, Sonic.

Cream: You can do it, Y/n.

Sam: All right. It's rocket time!

Sam pulled a switch and the rocket car accelerated.

Scarlet: Look out! Sam Speed is pulling away.

Sonic: Oh, yeah?

Sonic also started to go faster.

Y/n: I suppose I should pick up the pace, too.

Y/n disappeared and all three of them passed the finish line and the whole crowd went wild.

Scarlet: Well, it looks like we have a tie. That was close. The judges will examine photos to see if they can determine a winner.

Sonic and Y/n were a little out of breath.

Scarlet: The results will be posted on the stadium monitor.

The pictures show that Sonic and Y/n jumped over the finish line tape and went back to cross it at the same time as Sam.

Scarlet: Amazing! Sonic and Y/n not only crossed the finish line first, they went back for an encore. So, it's a draw between Y/n and Sonic!

The whole crowd went wild and Amy went to Sonic and hugged him.

Amy: Congratulations! Oh!

Sonic: Ah, it's no big deal.

Cream went to Y/n.

Cream: I knew you could do it, Y/n.

Y/n patted her head.

Y/n: Glad you're hope wasn't miss placed.

Lindsey: Oh, Sonic and Y/n.

They turned to Lindsey holding a bouquet of flowers and Nelson who was clapping.

Lindsey: Well done!

Y/n: Actually, Sonic is the winner.

Everyone: Huh?

Y/n: Even though we crossed the finish line at the same time, I had to break through my own speed to do it. This victory goes to Sonic.

He looked at Sonic.

Y/n: But I promise you this, I will pay you back for this one day, Sonic. Rather it be in a race, or in a fight.

Sonic: I'll be looking forward to it.

Y/n and Sonic shook hands.

Scarlet: And we've all just witnessed the start of a rivalry.

Lindsey gave the bouquet to Sonic.

Sonic: Thanks a lot! Hmm.

Sam gave Sonic a thumbs-up and both Sonic and Y/n returned it.

Jerome: Sonic!

Sonic/Y/n: Hmm?

Jerome walked to Sonic and offered him his hand.

Jerome: That was just great.

Y/n: Jerome? Where's the President?

Jerome: He couldn't make it, unfortunately.

Sonic saw a lot of cameras were pointing at him.

Jerome: (Whispering to Sonic: Sonic, shake my hand. Hurry up so they can take our picture together.)

Y/n: (Whispering: Don't do it, Sonic.)

Jerome's phone started to ring.

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

Everyone started taking pictures of Jerome when he said that.

Jerome: Oh! There's no way I'll be president now!

Later that night.

Jerome was sleeping in bed and when he woke up Y/n was holding it blade to Jerome's face.

Y/n: Move, you die. Try to fight back, you die. Make a sound, you die. Close your eyes if you understand me.

Jerome did what he said while sweating.

Y/n: Listen up, I want you out of this room and out of this white house, and I also want you to never show your dirty face to me or any of my friends again. Open one of your eyes if you understand me.

Jerome opened his eyes and Y/n smiled wickedly.

Y/n: I'll give you ten minutes to leave.

He disappeared and was now in the President's office.

Y/n: The job has been done, sir.

President: I knew I could count on you. Now, go get some sleep, you deserve it.

Y/n: Thank you, Mr. President.

He disappeared again and went back home to go to sleep.

Y/n: What a day.

To be continued.
