Hello there! This story was created by me over summer break, as I was thinking about how awesome a road trip with all your friends would be! So,needing a creative outlet, I came here and converted my hopes and dreams of a perfect vacation into Sonic's world. Anyways, please enjoy!
Chapter One: Dogpiles of Love
Amy got of from her uncomfortable position of lying in her cramped sleeping bag. She sat up and stretched as she looked over on the sofa to see Cream, who was fourteen, lying comfortably on a pillow, her long ears drooping to the floor. She had a full head of hair that reached her lower back complete with long bangs. Amy turned to see that Rouge, her sixteen year old friend, was wearing a sleeping mask and was sprawled out on a chair, lightly snoring. Amy rolled her eyes at her disheveled appearance. Her white short bangs brushed the top of eyes lightly, and her spines touched her back.
She decided not to wake them just yet, and shuffled on the huge tiles in the kitchen. Her quills swished back and forth, touching her back; they had grown since she was now fifteen. She padded over to the toaster, and stuck two Pop Tarts in. While they cooked, she poured some milk in a glass.
She then quietly tiptoed up the steps and went into a spare room and fished out Rouge's favorite bra. She had a spare room in her house for Rouge's and Cream's clothes, since they were there pretty much everyday and always spent the night, even during the school year.
Amy did live in her own house alone, along with anyone else she was friends with, and her mom lived nearby. Cream and Rouge stayed at Amy's because her house was so quiet and peaceful; she lived in the serene country, but not far from the town. They did go back to their houses occasionally, but other than that this was their home.
Meanwhile downstairs, Cream yawned and slowly opened her eyes. The blinds were shut on the giant window in front of her, yet some sunlight peeked through. She looked over to see Rouge snoring (as usual) and Amy's sleeping bag open. She heard a ding and got up to get breakfast. She grabbed the Pop Tarts that Amy had put in and grabbed the milk. She sat down at the big round wooden table which had many windows surrounding it and a view of the pool outside. She took a bite of the Pop Tart when she heard Amy come down the stairs, and chewed on them as she walked up.
"What's up" Cream said as she continued to eat. "Next time put in the blueberry. The caramel ones are gross" Amy rolled her eyes. Cream stole her food again. This pretty much happened every morning.
"Freezing Rouge's bra?" she asked, still eating casually.
"Yep" Amy replied. This was her usual morning routine. She opened the freezer and stuck it in there.
"So, what are we doing today?" Cream asked.
"I was thinking maybe we could just stay here" Amy said, filling up some milk again. "Maybe swim outside"
"You know what I think would be fun?" Cream said.
"What?" asked Amy as she sat down.
"Going to the beach" she responded.
"Hmm" Amy contemplated "That sounds cool, but just one tiny problem…we don't live near a beach"
"I know…..I just really wanna go" Cream said.
"So, how do we wake up sleeping beauty?" Amy said, switching the subject. They both smiled and snuck up behind the red chair Rouge was sleeping on.
"BOO!" they shouted.
"AHHHHH!" Rouge screamed, falling off the chair. She looked back at them, and turned red in fury. She started chasing them around the island in the huge kitchen and the chairs and sofa where they slept in front of the big fireplace. Cream flew upstairs to the hallway that overlooked the room (the ceilings were really tall).
"Oh thanks!" said Amy as she giggled and ran from Rouge who had threateningly grabbed a pan from the drawer. Cream laughed evilly. Rouge noticed this and flew up and chased Cream, while Amy stuck out her tongue. Cream jumped off the ledge and landed beside Amy. They both ran away from Rouge who hovered a few feet above them.
"SCREW YOU GUYS!" she yelled. Amy ran into the room where they slept and tripped over her sleeping bag. Cream then fell over Amy, and her feet hit Rouge, who tumbled on top of both of them. They all looked at each other and laughed. Then Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails burst in.
"Dogpile!" Sonic shouted as he jumped on top. Knuckles and Tails followed. Everyone laughed as they all tumbled to the ground, still squished.
"So guys, what's up?" Sonic asked.
"Ah, you know, nothing special" Cream giggled.
"Yeah, you know, just being crushed by five different people, nothing weird" Amy laughed. The guys all chuckled as they sat up in the chairs.
"So, what are we doing today?" Knuckles asked.
"Um, excuse me, did you get invited here?" Rouge said jokingly, knowing they showed up randomly all the time.
"Well, if by "invited" you mean we picked your lock, then yes" Sonic said.
"Actually, we were just gonna stay home, maybe swim, maybe skinny-dip…" Rouge giggled.
"Oh, God!" Tails said, covering his eyes.
"Alright, sign me up!" Sonic said, putting his arm around Amy jokingly. She scoffed and pushed him away with a smile.
"Really, nothing though" Cream said.
"Well, when all else fails, watch TV" Tails said. So they all sat on the couches and chairs, looking at the big flat-screen above the fireplace. The girls still all had on their pajamas. Rouge in her Adidas black shorts with a purple cami, Amy in a pink cami and plaid red bottoms, and Cream in he blue cami with yellow bottoms with smiles on them. They switched on MTV.
"Oh, cool, I love this song!" Amy said as she sang all danced the rest of the day and swam and such till it was dark outside. Little did they know they were about to go on the biggest adventure of their lives!
Once they all had finished their day, it was 11:30, and everyone was sitting in the family room. They were watching "American Idol" reruns.
"And how exactly did that Hawaiian loser get in the finals? My blender sounds better with metal in it than he does!" said Tails. Cream put her elbow on the chair arm and yawned.
"Something about they counted the votes wrong" she said.
"He needs a hair stylist. Did you see that one hairdo he had?" Rouge said.
"Seriously" Amy agreed. Everyone yawned.
"Ok, well I'm beat" Knuckles said, his eyes closing.
"Then go home" Rouge suggested. Knuckles whimpered.
"But it's dark and-and scar-wy outside!" he said, looking at Rouge with puppy-dog eyes. "What if we get…jumped? By goths? Or that fat guy down the street?" Rouge sighed and smiled.
"Well then have a good time getting sat on by him" Rouge said. Knuckles put his head in her lap and looked up.
"Pwease?" he said in a fake baby voice. Rouge flicked his head.
"So are you guys staying?" Cream asked.
"Sure" Tails said.
"No going through my bra drawer this time, though!" Amy said, looking at Sonic. He smiled.
"No promises"
Amy crossed her arms. They turned on the TV guide channel.
"Knuckles, at twelve they're announcing the lottery numbers. Didn't you buy a ticket?" Tails asked.
"Yeah, but I'm gonna wait til tomorrow to see the numbers…I can't stay up that late today" he responded. "Rouge, you have my ticket, right?"
"Yeah. I pinned it in my favorite bra" she smiled. Amy's eye's opened wide. She didn't get it out all today because the boys came in. How frozen was it? She looked at Cream, but she had fallen asleep on Tails's shoulder. He was asleep too. Maybe now wasn't the best time to tell Rouge. "I mean, it's not like it is going to be in a block of ice or anything, right?" Amy thought as she shifted uncomfortably. How did he even buy one? He was only 16. But she was too tired to care.
"It's not like he will win anyways" she thought. And with that, she smiled, and switched around the channels. The only thing that appeared to be on was Biggest Loser. She flicked it to that.
"So, you keep lottery tickets in your bra?" asked Sonic.
"Yeah" Rouge sleepily responded. She was starting to drift. They stayed up really late last night.
"Yeah, that's not weird at all" he mumbled.
"Whaattev…er" she yawned. They turned to watch the show.
"Okay….fat guys doing jumping jacks…I'll pass" Sonic said. Amy sleepily giggled. She put her head in his lap.
"Can we all go to bed now?" she asked, closing her eyes.
"Shhh! The children are sleeping" said Knuckles, motioning to Cream and Tails. Sonic looked over and nodded.
"Do I even need to say where you guys are sleeping?" Amy asked, standing up and stretching. The guys crashed there a lot; it was not weird because of how long the girls had known the guys, practically forever. They always slept on the sofa and chairs downstairs where the girls had slept earlier, and the girls went upstairs.
"We know! We've only been here a million times" Sonic said. Rouge picked up Cream and proceeded to fly her upstairs.
"I'll take her if you want" offered Tails, awakened by the movement.
"Ugh, thanks. My back took such a beating after that dogpile" Rouge said, glaring at Sonic. She handed off Cream to Tails and he walked her up the steps. She put her arms around his neck while sleeping.
"Aw" Amy said "How cute"
"Awhaw, how cutteee" Sonic said, imitating her. She smiled and elbowed him.
"Shut up. I bet you couldn't even carry her" Amy said. Sonic stuck out his tongue playfully.
"Could so!" he said.
"Prove it" she said with a grin.
"Fine, I will! Are you heavier than Cream?" he asked.
"Huh?" Amy said. With that, he grabbed her bridal- style and ran her up the long winding staircase with a wall that ended at the top.
"Let me go!" she giggled, banging her arms on him. He finally got in her room and chucked her on the bed.
"Did I prove it?" he asked.
"You're so stupid" she said as she smiled. He grinned. Downstairs, Rouge looked at Knuckles.
"Um, no thanks, you look heavy" he joked. She opened her mouth wide and hit him on the head.
"I'm just kidding" he said, rubbing his head. He looked at her. "But, seriously, no. I don't want to" he smirked, and walked back to the couch to lay on it. She rolled her eyes and walked up the steps as Sonic walked back down. She passed by Amy's room and said "night" and then passed by Cream's room to see Tails passed out on her floor and Cream lying on the bed. She smiled and slowly closed the door as she walked in her room and went to sleep.
Not quite the road trip yet, just setting the stage so you get the fact that all of them are really close friends. The next chapter will have less long paragraphs, and more character depth and development. By the way, I do NOT own anything mentioned (Red bull or MTV) and I do not own Sonic or any other characters!
