"Wh-what? Just because we're both Hedgehogs, doesn't mean we're brothers!" "Really, then what's that?" Sonic pointed to Flame's arm. There was a small scar shaped like a lightning bolt. Sonic raised his right arm up. There was a scar just like his. "Just because you have a scar like mine doesn't mean we're brothers!" "Ok, let's race." "What about our class!" "Oh, yeah, you can race too!" They got on their boards, and they were ready to race. "3…2…1…GO!" Sonic exclaimed. Flame didn't realize what happened and warned them of how good he was. He opened his eyes with his index finger pointing to the sky. He started speeding up next to one of the class-mates. "Are you a machine?" She asked sarcastically. "No, why?" He asked. "It's called sarcasm, ever heard of it?" "No." Flame said. She grunted. Flame increased the speed. The other three of the class was a blur to him. He barely saw Sonic, or anyone else behind him. "I got to catch up!" Flame exclaimed. He slightly turned his head. "That's it!" He thought. "I'll ride up the tree and get big air to catch up to Sonic!" Flame grinned. "Fun!" He thought. He rode up the tree and went straight to the clouds. Sonic smiled. "You would think my brother would be here by now." He turned his board and started riding backwards. "Here's my chance!" Flame exclaimed. There was a loud puff in the sky. Sonic looked up, and his smile turned larger. "That's him alright." Sonic said. Flame aimed for the front of Sonic, bracing for impact. An idea came to him. He performed a slipping action, grabbed the board again, turned around and threw it. He turned with his hands to his sides and went head first. Sonic showed a small grin. "Sonic, BOOM!" Sonic went so fast, streaks of blue lead behind him creating a turbulence. Flame grabbed his board and entered the turbulence and found he was going faster. He was slowly drifting away from Sonic. The finish line was in sight. Flame focused really hard and gained speed. He was getting closer and closer to Sonic, He was almost in reach when- they crossed the finish line. "Sonic panted. "So you are my brother." "Told ya!" Sonic exclaimed. Flame grinned. "Let's go to Tails' shop!" "What about the others?" "They're not coming back for a while." They reached Tails' shop and Tails asked why they came back already. "Flame needs an upgrade." "But he came two hours ago!" "Look at his points!" Sonic turned the board around and showed Tails 100,000 points. "What!" "What's wrong?" Flame asked. "See the bottom of this?" Sonic asked. "Yeah." "When you get 100,000 points, you get an upgrade. After 20 upgrades, you re-name your board and it's almost impossible to lose." "Oh." Flame said.
"So, which advantage do you want?" Asked Tails. "Uh…" "There's advantage 20, but since you're my second best customer, you can have advantage 33-F." "Tails!" He exclaimed through his teeth." "What?" Tails asked while shrugging his shoulders. "He's my brother!" "He's who you've been talking about, coming to think about it, he is pretty fast." "Give him the special thing!" "If you say so, Flame, here, the legendary-F upgrade3 speed edition." "What's that?" Flame asked. "It's the best looking and most useful for all your upgrades, this one gives you a triple speedboost, max speed, and boost3." "Ok, 'sounds good to me!" "Here," Tails leaned in and attached the upgrade to Flame's board. "Thanks, Ok, bye!" Flame and Sonic reached the field, with the others still not returning yet. "Ok, might as well wait!" Flame exclaimed.
