A Supersonic Childhood
Many stories have been told of Sonic's adventures fighting evil. But not this one. This story tells about the legendary hero's childhood, and what brought him to be what he is today.
* * *
Today was little Sonic's first day of kindergarten. He was very excited. He couldn't wait to make new friends. But he was particularly excited about going to Gym class. Sonic loved to play sports. But most of all, he loved to run. All he wanted for his birthday was a new pair of running shoes.
He ran downstairs as soon as he woke up, and gobbled down his breakfast of Cheerios, which was waiting for him at the table. His mom said, "Eat slowly. It's good for your digestion. Are you excited about your first day of school?" "You bet, Mom!"
Once he was done with breakfast, he dragged his dad outside to the bus stop. He saw a red echidna grab a small bat-girl on the other side of the street, but the Echidna ran away when he saw Sonic's dad. Sonic ran over to help her up. "Are you okay?" "Even if I wasn't, I certainly wouldn't ask for your help. And get your grubby paws off me!" she said huffily. Sonic said, "My name's Sonic, what's yours? Will you be my friend?" The girl replied, "It's Rouge; not that it's any of your business. And no; I can hardly believe that you would even have the discourtesy to touch me!" Rouge jumped into a limo in a very dignified manner.
Shortly after, the bus roared up. As Sonic climbed on, his dad yelled, "Bye, Sonic! Have a great first day at school!" Sonic sat next to a yellow fox. They introduced themselves. The fox's name was Isaac. Isaac seemed very shy. Sonic said, "Are you excited about school? Do you want to be my friend?" "Um, y-yeah, I guess so. I d-didn't think anyone would want to be my friend. E-everybody th-thinks I'm weird."
When the children got to school, they were told to go play on the playground while the classes were sorted out. Sonic and Isaac went over to the swing set. Isaac hopped on a swing, and Sonic pushed him. As they were swinging, the red Echidna from before started walking toward the swing. "Uh- oh," Isaac said nervously. "W-we'd better leave. That's Kn-knuckles, the neighborhood bully. You don't want to m-mess with him." But to Isaac's horror, instead of walking away, Sonic walked right up to Knuckles. "Why are you always such a bully?" Sonic demanded. The teachers called the children in, but Sonic ignored them. Knuckles suddenly burst into tears. "Because no one wants to be my friend!" he sobbed. "I'll be your friend." "Really?" Sonic nodded. "Thanks buddy!" Knuckles put his arm around Sonic and the two friends walked inside together.
Miss Evelyn called out a list of names. Sonic and Knuckles were chatting, but Isaac said, "Sonic! Knuckles! C'mon, were in a class together!" "Yeah!" "Alright!" were his responses. When the children reached the classroom, Miss Evelyn began to assign tables. "Okay, Isaac, Knuckles, Mary, you're at this table. "Ohhhh..." Sonic groaned sadly. "Sonic, Espio, Rouge, you're at this table. Joe, Matt, bla bla bla bla bla bla" was all Sonic heard. Sonic sat down at his table. "Hi guys! Are you excited about school?" "Oh great, it's you." Rouge snorted. "What a dweeb..." Espio said quietly. "Okay class, we're going to play the Name Game. It's very simple. What you do is go up to someone. You tell them your name, your favorite food, and your favorite thing to do. Do that to everyone in the class. When we're done, see how many names you can remember! Okay, go!" Sonic went up to Knuckles first. "I'm Sonic, I like to run, and my favorite food is chili dogs." "I'm Knuckles, I like fish, and my favorite thing is karate." Next, Isaac. Sonic said the same thing. "I'm Isaac, I like inventing things, and I like spaghetti." Rouge: "I'm Rouge, I like being popular, and I like filet mignon. It's very expensive, but I'm part of the richest family in town." Espio was "I'm Espio, I like practicing with my weapons, and I like pizza. Sonic proceeded to talk to everyone in the class. Once he was done, he tried remembering everyone's names, but he couldn't remember most of them. "Did you have fun, class? It's time for snack." "Yeah!" was the collective response of the class. Everyone rushed out to their lockers to get their snacks. "You can sit anywhere for snack. Knuckles walked over to the 'popular' table, and asked, "Can I sit with you guys?" "Sorry, table's full." Rouge replied, even though there was obviously plenty of room. "You see," Knuckles said to Sonic, close to tears. "No one likes me." "Don't worry, you can sit with me and Isaac." Sonic walked up to the table, and asked Espio, "Do you like Rouge? I think she's kind of mean." "She's my girlfriend." Espio replied coldly, staring at Sonic icily. "Oh... sorry." [AUTHOR'S NOTE: She isn't really, but that's the way they think. My kindergarten sister claims to have three boyfriends.] After a couple more hours, it was time to go home. Sonic said goodbye to his new friends, and hopped on the bus to go home. First thing when he got home, he yelled, "School was SO fun today!"
