The Easter incident
Happy Easter everyone! To celebrate this joyous occasion I have decided to write Sonics back-story and family in while also listening to casino night zone the sonic generation mix as I type this story. I can tell as I write this that many people are going to rage big time over my little views on what Sonics (grammar... anyone?) life is like when Eggman is on spring break to clean the base for his next evil plot. By little I of course mean insignificant. This story is jus to humour you and me so enjoy! Also this is from Sonics point of view to clear up any confusion you may have. Please review rate and succumb to this poorly written madness. (BTW bold writing mean me as I am a bold speaker (Not))
Hi there. My name is of course Sonic the Hedgehog. Don't know who that is? Well I'd consider getting yourself out from under that rock mate! I am the fastest thing there is and main thorn in the eggster's side. Hehe!
Quick heads up for ya I don't really like Easter me 'self, it's never really caught on for me. Why? Well that's because it involves buying stuff for people which is a problem for what is essentially a drifter. What really makes Easter get mud on my sneakers about though is the people I have to be with during the whole holiday. Not Tails (though he comes with me), Ames, Knuckles or the rest of the freedom fighters (must change that name) and GUN or any like that. No these people get under my skin more than fear of Ames' Piko-Piko hammer. There my folks, family, relatives whatever you want to call 'em and they're noticeable in a crowd to say the least.
I think for you reader to get what I'm talking about. I am going to tell you a secret that only I and my little brother (Tails) know. My family are from Apotos. What's so bad about that? Well you don't know how seriously my family takes their heritage. I was born on Christmas Island because my mother wanted to live near her family, my grandmother was furious I can tell you! She still is actually.
My family has given me a 'to-do list' on how to live my life. I must:
1) Get a good job and give the family a good name (I don't get much pay but my hero work has ticked this one off.)
2) Find a girl, get married and have children. This isn't going to happen any time soon, I did get engaged once but ended up with a stinging cheek not soon afterwards. That's put me right of the whole "love" business
3) Last but not least I have to learn the laouto (in English it's a type of lute). I tried extremely hard to learn it as I like the sound of the instrument but after several lessons and strings showed that I was getting nowhere I got a guitar instead and mastered it. My uncle didn't learn about the guitar and so got me a violin for my birthday. Oops.
Right know I'm on a hill... Pondering. Why? Well an explanation of what happened about an hour ago should tell you
Easter was three weeks away and I was in Tails' workshop holding onto an extremely delicate piece of machinery as Pixel brain, which I call him now, was fiddling intensely with a tangle of wires. "Just gotta hook up the force measuring equipment to the primary 'Thought. Halting. Under. Massive. Pressure. Exertion. Rig'. Have to make sure though that it is behind the shielding or else the bio-metric super analyser would start siphoning its given power. There we go that's that but I still need to connect this..." As Tails turned around I said "Pixel brain when are you gonna let me put this thing down I must have been standing here for over an hour now." Tails turned around carrying what looked like one of those things you see on a boiler that measure the pressure even with one of those red sections to indicate danger. "Calm down Sonic it's been about ten minutes and this is the last piece of my inventions puzzle. Besides I thought you would have liked to stand still for a little while." "You realise I can drop this thing." I threatened loosening my grip slightly. Tails rushed over in a panic and screwed on the meter. "Finally I have created a mint candy detector! Well as a matter of fact I can find anything on earth as long as I have the right numbers to punch in." "Wait a minute!" I shouted as I passed it into Pixel brains hands "I stood here for an hour..." "Ten minutes" Tails rudely interrupted, he has such good manners around everyone else. "Alright then ten minutes, to make a mint candy detector! Is there nothing else that thing can do?"
Tails simply smiled turned a dial on what looked like a long stick that was his thing that he made and tapped me with it. I was immediately dazzled by a blue light that looked like a Sonic Boom (trademarked by me) and was sent flying across the workshop into the door to the run way. Ouch "You may not have noticed but I have been taking self defence classes and have taken a bit to the quarter-staff so I decided the next logical step and make myself one. With all the gadgets I think I'll ever need. It's like my own personal laser spanner." Wow... I knew Tails was a bit dorky but wow. "Who watches that show?" I asked my head still spinning. Metal door beats hedgehog skull who knew? "Obviously you do..." Tails laughed at that little joke and then laughed even more when he saw me falling of the huge pile of metal I had landed on with a colander on my head. "Oh lord you look like Vector on a Sunday morning!" Tails couldn't help himself and started falling over in laughter.
Just then my laptop dinged with a pop-up showing an email. But not any email this one was signed as urgent by the mayor of station square. We walked over to the laptop. Well I hobbled over and Tails flew (never stops flying apparently to reach the highest of all the heavens.) and read the email. It went something like this.
Sonic my dear son I have been trying to message you for two weeks. Have you forgotten that it is only three weeks until our family get together? Your great aunt Agnes and Your great Uncle Trevor have both stated their excitement at seeing their famous nephew (last Easter they said they had a shop selling merchandise of me, they probably wanted a quote of me endorsing it.) And Chef, remember him? (Of course I did he was the only person there I would talk to because he seems to have more energy than me.) He is back this year and would like you to bring along Miss Vanilla and her young daughter cream. He has met them before and says he has never seen such good cooks and would like them to help him with the dinner on the night. I'm sorry I've been stalling on what I've actually been trying to say to you. It's not easy I can assure you but this cannot be outrun. Even by you. This year marks the tenth anniversary of your mother's death and as a family decision we have decided that because Catherine loved you so much the next Easter reunion will be at your house. We know you have one. So I have given you a list of things that will be needed for you to do for the night. Please for your mothers sake follow this list.
Sincerely given, Dad
"Well dads sure does know how to place guilt on you doesn't he?" I said as the printer started doing what it was designed to do and soon there was a short list of things to do in my hand. It read like this:
Get your house spotless. We don't want anyone tripping over anything while they're there because of your chilli dog boxes.
Every year you arrive in the same clothes, or lack of, we cannot have that this night you are hosting. I recommend you get yourself a good suit to keep the night a formal affair.
Sonic my son you are 16 you should have found someone by now. I will accept you not finding someone special yet but I am not sure about the others. (No kidding one time my grandmother thought I was with Tails!) Please bring someone that at least comes close to a girlfriend or boyfriend (My grandmother obviously told everyone in her own special way.) if you please.
Your relatives are interested in seeing your freedom fighter friends please bring them along if you will. I wish to know if you are hanging around with the right people.
Learn some manners for the night if you would please. Possibly from your young friend Miles. (No chance!) I do hope you learn proper etiquette.
I say this YOU are hosting remember that the night is basically under your hands.
Man my old man could make the easy hard! It wasn't long until Tails piped up as he read one of them. "A suit! I am not helping you with that!" Fortunately I considered it time for some revenge for his Laser Spanner line. Though he was at least honest. "Well you're just going to have to get your own suit and I won't be helping you with that." Check and mate I feel don't you?
Tails promptly quieted down after that but it did get me thinking on the hill as I am now. How am I going to get this suit? I like many Mobian males wasn't exactly keen on the idea but many were also on the band wagon on the politics of clothes (quote Sonic the hedgehog 2012) but I'm going to need someone. Someone who knows fashion. Dear lord this is turning into some horrible fan fiction, (hint, hint and hint) from an obsessed fan girl, (No that's not me) because I only know one person who knows fashion, I will need the help. I'm going to need help from... I can't believe I'm thinking this... I'm going to need help from Amy Rose. Oh dear Gods.
To finish the chapter I want to say that I will not have this story devolve into a Sonamy pairing piece of fiction. Alright maybe I will but just a little bit. Reference competition time (I am not letting this gimmick go) and as the Daniel Yount music I am listening to gets epic (I love narrating what can I say) I can confirm only one shout out was given and here is the hint. 1) Egg-Mount starFleet-away & PIXBRA Wrap your teeth around that one and please be certain that archaeological espionage will continue to be given to you from the steam-punk works of my cyber-punk mind. It'll make sense when you think about... No it won't. Prepare for the next instalment of the Easter incident without an OC to be seen! Wait Sonics family. This epilogue fails! Until next time and with hopefully less writer forgetting everything like stuff. FOR GREAT VILLIANY!
