Mobius
Chapter 1- What's Your Morning Like?
Okay, here is yet another attempt to write a multi-chaptered Sonic fic. Hopefully, I can do it right this time. This will feature many of the main characters in the Sonic franchise and their lives in Mobius.
Keep note that this story will not have an unlimited number chapters. I'm going for only fifty because I don't want to have every single oneshot that I think of onto this. They shall be separate. And besides, this will probably have multiple parts to oneshots half the time.
Hope you enjoy this as I attempt to write a multi-chaptered Sonic fic again!

It was around eight in the morning when light shined through the window of the room of one of the many heroes in Mobius. No, it was not the red, emerald guardian, nor was it the main hero of Mobius himself.
Instead, it happened to be a sixteen year-old chameleon. As a result, he kept his eyes closed as he turned away, obviously annoyed by this. He was basically one of those Mobians who wished that they could sleep the whole day without any consequences.
Unfortunately, there were two people under the same roof as him who were the exact opposite. One of them he could deal with, but the other made him wonder if there was any child like him at all.
"YAAAAAAY!"
The mid-teen knew that the worst was yet to come. He became more irritated as he buried his head beneath the covers, not even opening his eyes in the slightest. And if the apparently hyperactive boy was up, so was the other. The bright side of the situation was that he was an adult, so he couldn't be nearly as hyper as the child out there. Even so, it didn't mean that he couldn't get as loud as the kid.
"CHARMY, PLEASE! DON'T START THIS TODAY!"
He found himself stuck between two choices. Deal with the noise, knowing that things could most likely escalate, or get it over with and find the strength to climb out of bed to hopefully end their argument.
Groaning, he chose the second option. The anthropomorphic chameleon roughly pulled the covers off himself and swooped his legs over to stand. Seconds later, he was in his personal bathroom. Making sure his personal hygiene was in check, the door to said bathroom closed again, with the lights being flickered off. Even though time had elapsed at that point, there was still yelling go on.
"CHARMY, GIVE THAT BACK! NOT EVEN I DRINK MOUNTAIN DEW IN THE MORNING!"
Another groan sounded from the creature. This clearly wasn't what he wanted to hear just minutes after waking up. He knew that he had some meditating to do on his free time. To top it all of, it was all up to him to stop the hollering going on as if he was a mother of two. Nevertheless, there was no way he was going to rush out of his bedroom to do so thanks to his rude awakening.
Slipping on his socks and shoes, he mentally prepared himself for the troublemakers. The source from the noise seemed to be kitchen, which was typical in the apartment. After all, he heard the words 'Mountain Dew', the adult's favorite beverage.
Out of nowhere, he was knocked down by the child of Team Chaotix, Charmy Bee. The grip on his leg was so tight it was as if he was holding on for life.
"Espio, Vector's gonna hit me with a mop!"
Exhaling deeply, he found the patience to grab Charmy off of his shoulders and slowly rose up. With no words to the six year-old, he sauntered in the direction of the group's oldest member. The crocodile looked like he was in defensive mode, with a look of determination.
Espio only rolled his eyes folding his arms. "Put it down." He commanded with a rather vexed expression on his face. "I know you're trying to stop him, but threatening the boy with cleaning supplies is not the way to go. It's simply too early in the morning for all of this. Plus, you already know we have company coming over today, because like us, we don't have anything else to do."
Not wanting to fuss with him, and knowing that it was not the time to have yet another argument, he chose to let it go and put the mop away. "Fine..." He muttered. "What time are they coming, anyway?"
"Starting around ten." He promptly responded walking back to the kitchen to get breakfast started. "We have two hours to get this place cleaned and get ourselves ready for the day. That's plenty of time, but please don't want until the last minute like you normally do."
"Pssh!" Vector placed his right hand on the wall to cross his right leg over his left. "I don't procrastinate."
His eyes didn't shift over to him as he opened the fridge to get eggs out. "Need I remind you of the time you almost forgot to pay that bill?"
Everybody's favorite Mobian hero happened to have his face turned away from the sunlight. So unlike Espio, he didn't have to worry about suffering from the irking source of light. Yet the same can't be said for his alarm, if he wasn't a morning person.
Fortunately, he was the exact opposite. In fact, he encouraged his fellow Mobians to be that way, since he claims that they're only wasting part of the day by sleeping. On the other hand, they would normally argue that they would rather be up all night, like one of his friends for example.
It was a certain red echidna, an after ten minute discussion about the topic, he was finally convinced to come over to the younger teen's house at that time in the morning so they could each have a morning run, along with a two-tailed fox.
Hearing his conveniently blue alarm clock go off, he didn't waste any time opening his eyes and hopping out of his bed. Taking a quick second, it was his turn to get his day going. It was no surprise that Sonic the Hedgehog took a shorter time than Espio to get ready, and he had nothing against being a morning person. He was simply one of those people to go with the flow.
When he felt complete, he was on his way downstairs to fix himself the first meal of the day. On the way, he felt his sky blue phone vibrating in his right hand. With the mobile device to hisear, he was waiting for an answer.
"Hello?"
"You up yet, Knucklehead?"
"No..."
"Well, you'd better be! We've been over this just yesterday!"
"And I can't change my mind?"
"Nope! Now, get your lazy butt out of bed and head over here! I promise no one will even think about touching that emerald!"
Hearing a groan, the next thing the caller knew was that he hung up. He could tell that he was going to be at his house soon in spite of his attitude.
Sonic only shrugged in reaction. "Guess I'll call Tails, now."
Just seconds later, he found himself hearing the voice of his best bud.
"Hello?"
"You up, little buddy?"
"...Sonic..., I'm at your door..."
"...What?"
Without waiting for him to respond, Sonic took no time ending the call as he walked nimbly toward his front door. One glance inside the peephole, and there was Miles 'Tails' Prower. Shaking his head, he finally opened the door.
"Tails, why didn't you tell me you were already here?"
"I was gonna ring the doorbell, but then you called." He chuckled. "Is Knuckles here, yet?"
"Nope."
"Not surprised."
It was Sonic's turn to chuckle. "Well, you are gonna cook breakfast for three, right? You know I'm not the best cook around, here."
"Fine..." He rolled his eyes. "but please remember that I'm not gonna make breakfast by myself."
"Now, why would I do that?" He raised an invisible eyebrow, his wrists on his hips.
"You did it last time..."
"Well, that was only because I wasn't feeling well..." He excused himself. "Stupid Baldy McNosehair..."
"And besides, we don't have all day, anyway. We promised we'd be over at Vec's at ten o'clock."
Nodding his head in response, his phone vibrated for the third time.
"You didn't tell me that you were doing a morning run today!"
"...Jet,... unless it rains, snows, or anything, I always do morning runs... And you're just now figuring that out?"
"Vector just now mentioned it to me. I'm coming over. Now."
"But-"
Too late. Jet the Hawk had already ended the conversation. And since it was on speaker, Tails was able to hear all of it.
"...Breakfast for four?"
"Okay, little buddy... Now, I really need your help..."
Unlike Sonic, Shadow the Hedgehog hated the sound of his alarm clock as if it was the bane of his existence. It even got to a point where he had a complete nightmare about it one time. Telling it to the others, the simply question who in the name of Mobius would have a bad dream of an alarm clock of all things.
To made matters worse, his phone began to buzz before he could even stand up. Because of the fact that it was just on vibrate, he had to lean to phone on his bedside table to see who would be calling him. As expected, it was Rouge the Bat.
"Rouge, I just woke up. Give me at least a minute to stretch."
"Now, if I was your boss you would have never said that to me. You're the one that tells me to always expect the unexpected. Wha, the Ultimate Lifeform is so ultimate that even he needs his beauty sleep? You really think you're the best, do you?"
He groaned and shook his head. "But, you are not my boss. If you were, I would have dealt with it, but you're not. Now, I'm taking my time to get ready, here. Especially since you're the one making me go in the first place..."
The black hedgehog knew that Rouge was trying to respond back, but he decided that he didn't have the time to wait, knowing how irked he already was. He hit the snooze button on his alarm clock instead of stretching like he told her and angrily turned over closing his eyes.
It was as if his fellow Mobians didn't want him to get a few more minutes of sleep because of his phone buzzing, yet again. Anyone who knew him realized how irate he could get, and the feeling was slowly getting to him. Seeing the caller's face on the screen, the anger plunged faster and farther into his system.
"Oh my god..." He pressed the 'answer' button.
"WHAT!?"
"Woah, man! Geez, you're worse than Knuckles!"
"Calling me out of all people... Just, what do you want, Faker? You have ten seconds, and if I don't get at least one more minute of sleep when I'm done, I'm gonna blame you for it!"
"Okay, I just wanna remind you to let me know when you're ready so that we could all leave to-"
"NO!"
Not only he abruptly ended the call, but he shut his phone off entirely so a third person wouldn't bug him with another phone call. However, he thought that unless he calmed down, he would never get back to sleep before the alarm goes off again.
As you can see, I introduced quite a lot of Sonic characters here. One of the main reasons is that some characters in the archive don't have a lot of stories. So, as long as have these Mobians stay in their character, hopefully they'll get some attention.
Questions:
1. Are you a morning person, like Sonic, neutral like Espio, or definitely not a morning person like Shadow?
2. What's worse, alarm clocks or phones?
Along with the answers with these questions, I encourage all fans of the Sonic World to review.
See you next time!
