Sonic Boom: In The Real World
Chapter Three
Getting Used to The Family
The next day, Joseph woke up Eric. After a few tugs, he managed to wake up, though was very cranky.
"..Uh...What?" he said.
"Come downstairs." Joseph replied, trying not to wake up Sonic and his friends.
Joseph and Eric walked downstairs to see their dad sleeping on the computer. Apparently, he was typing something strange on the computer. They got a closer look to see it was about Sonic and his friends. He was texting with a friend of his, explaining about it. It said this:

Dad:
I've seen something strange, Derrick.
Derrick:
Like what?
Dad:
Well, last night, my son was with these...things...
Derrick:
Where you sleepy?
Dad:
They were, like some animals, though they could talk! Like human-beings!
Derrick:
Stop joshing me, bro, tell me the truth.
Dad:
I wasn't drunk, though I don't drink, but, but-they could literally talk like...like me, somehow.
Derrick:
Can you prove it, then?
Dad:
I took a picture of them, secretly. I'll post them to you right now.
A picture was shown, showing Sonic sleeping. Eric was mad, but Joseph silenced him before he could talk.
Derrick:
...You kidding me?
Dad:
No! Just, look at it! I'm not kidding when I have these...talking creatures in my own freaking house!
Derrick:
But, is it even real? Did you Photoshop that?
Dad:
I don't even have that!
Derrick:
Crap, Harold.
Dad:
What?
Derrick:
My wife told me about those creatures on the news. Could these be those creatures?
Dad:
I watched the news about it, so yeah, those are the creatures.
Derrick:
Then get out of your house! They'll kill you!
Dad:
...Derrick, you may not like this...
Derrick:
What?
Dad:
I've told them they could stay at my house...
Derrick:
Dang it, Harold! I'm not even sure why you insist on keeping them! I'm just going to leave Facebook right now, O.K?
Dad:
O.K.
(End of conversation)
Joseph didn't know what to think before his mom came downstairs. She was in her robes as she walked down.
"Good morning, boys." she said.
"Good morning." they repeated.
Harold suddenly woke up, looking groggy. His eyes were barely open as he got up and got some coffee. He turned on the T.V as he watched the news. Everybody always watched the news in the morning like him. Joseph looked at the stairs as suddenly, Sonic sped down the stairs. Joseph jumped as he ran fast. He was surprised.
"H-How could you do that?" Joseph asked.
"Well, I can do it fine, even in the morning." he said.
"Yeah, but, I mean-"
"I just have super speed, O.K?"
"...O.K."
Tails walked down, following the others. He started to work on the transporter. Amy noticed this.
"Tails, when are you going to fix it?" she said. "I really want to go home."
"I've calculated the plans all night," he began. "I'm sure I can get this done by...a month or two?"
"A month or two?!" Amy said. "A transporter doesn't take this long! We need to get back by a week!"
"Yea! I don't want to miss those new shows!" Knuckles said.
"Can't you get this done faster?!" Sonic said.
"If you all stop pressuring me, I would!" he said. "But, you're all keeping me from doing it!"
Harold looked at the transporter.
"Let me look at it," he said. "I was once in a engineering job once."
He inspected the machine, with it's controls not working. He grabbed a screwdriver from the counter, and opened the back of it. He sighed.
"I can't figure this out." he handed it back.
"Well, I'm very good at fixing this."
Joseph put his hand on Tails' shoulder.
"Why don't you take a break for once?" he said. "You've been working on it for so long."
Sonic sat on the couch as he flipped through the channels, finding a channel called Cartoon Network. Upon inspection, he found a show called Teen Titan's GO. During the episode, it showed a character named Robin doing crazy faces. He jumped as he changed the channel.
"Wow," he said. "That was...crazy..."
Joseph sighed as he sat down and ate breakfast. He couldn't believe that for a month or two, he'd be spending it with these people. It was really hard to keep them a secret since they were shown to the public. It would mean that they would be there for July to August. He finished eating breakfast as he heard Tails opening the fridge. He noticed the milk and all the other food and drinks in it. He signaled Sonic to look at it, who was watching T.V.
"Check it out, Sonic," he said. "There's so much stuff in here!"
Knuckles ran to the fridge.
"Let me see!"
He stared as he grabbed the milk, and drunk it all.
"Wow!" he exclaimed. "That is some good milk!"
"Stay out of the fridge!" Harold yelled, shutting the fridge door.
"But, why?" Sonic asked.
"Cause, I'm not spending more money for you," he said. "And, you need to stop getting into stuff you're not supposed to mess with."
Sonic ran towards the door, and looked outside. It was sunny, like on a Summer day. He shut the door as he looked at the gang.
"Why don't we go outside?" he asked.
"Yea!" the crew said.
"NO!" Joseph shouted, startling the gang.
"But, why not?" Knuckles whined.
"Because, you're not like our kind, you know..."
"And, you'll get arrested." his mom added.
"Wait, what?!" Joseph exclaimed.
"I've heard that if you keep unknown creatures, they'll investigate you for it." Harold said.
Sonic sat down as Tails put the transporter up in a bag.
"Don't lose it." Amy said.
"I won't lose it, Amy."
Then, the door opened. It was Mr. Harrison.
"Hello, HarOLAAAAAAAH!" he screamed.
"Wait, come back!" Harold yelled when Harrison ran out.
Joseph sighed.
"This is going to be a really long time to get used to."
Eggman woke up after a long night of moving things to this world, including Cubot and Orbot. He looked out the window and sighed.
"Its hard fighting that hedgehog," he began. "If only I could find him, I'll finally destroy him once and for all!"
Suddenly, Orbot entered his room.
"Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey!" he chimed.
"Not now, Orbot!" he ordered. "I'm getting ready to find more things for my latest invention!"
"So, you don't want egg's and ba-"
"No!"
"...Well, O.K..."
Eggman had refined that warehouse into what looked like his other lair back in his world, but different. He sat in his chair and looked at the map. He started typing in locations of where Sonic was. It started to beep when the location was found. He laughed in amusement as he entered his Egg-Pod, and put on a gray suit.
"I'm coming for you, Sonic!"
Joseph sat on his couch the minute he heard knocking. He didn't know what it was until he opened the door. Outside was a fat man with a mustache in a gray suit. He waved at him.
"Hello, young man!" he exclaimed. "I'm here for-uh-Mr. Sonic!"
"...Should I let you in?" Joseph asked.
"Well, yeah, I'm not a bad guy cleverly disguising as a business man at all!"
Joseph looked at him more.
"And how do you know about him?"
"Well, I've talked to him many times before," he said. "And I'm just wondering where he could be, now, do you know where he is?"
"Seriously, why-"
"JUST TELL HIM WHERE HE IS BEFORE I DESTROY-I mean-give you taxes!"
Joseph wasn't pleased.
"Leave."
"B-B-But, I haven't said my name," he pleaded while Joseph closed the door. "My name is Dr. Clar-"
The door shut on him. He took off the disguise as he grunted.
"Darn that boy, whatever his name is..."
Harold walked to him.
"Who was that, Joseph?" he asked.
"Just some business man wanting to see Sonic," he said. "I didn't listen to him."
Another knock sounded as this time, it was a fat man, like the business man, though wearing a red suit, and in a pod.
"You'll tell me where Sonic is," he told him. "Or my bots will take care of you!"
Robots swarmed into the house, Sonic running to the scene.
"Eggman!"
"Sonic!"
"Eggman?" Joseph's dad asked.
"I'll go easy on you this time, Sonic!" he said. "But, I'm still going to defeat you. Attack, my robots!"
The robots drove towards Sonic and Joseph, but then his friends joined the group as they destroyed the robots. Eggman got angry as he pushed a button, sending a robot suit out. This suit was smaller than the last one.
"I'll win this time, Sonic!"
"Just give it up, Eggbrain!"
"Eggbrain?!" he exclaimed. "That was your stupidest joke, in forever, that I've heard!"
"Its not like the other 506 names I've gave you!"
"I'm done with this," Eggman said. "I'm going to finish this!"
The suit ran towards him, smacking him across the living room. Harold brought his gun back out, and fired a shot at the robot. It didn't damage it.
"Your gunshots aren't a chance against my Egg-Robot!" he told Harold.
He swung his hand at Harold, sending him across the living room like Sonic.
"Harold!" Susan screamed, running to him.
Eggman laughed as he picked up Joseph.
"Your a little brat, you know that?!" he said.
"Ha! That rhymed!" Knuckles said.
Suddenly, he felt pounding on his robot. It was Eric.
"Leave my brother alone, Fatty!" he kicked.
"Hey, no one calls me Fatty!" Eggman said.
After what seemed like a whole hour, they defeated Eggman, again. Eggman fake-cried to Sonic.
"Please, Sonic!" he pleaded. "I want to win! *sob*"
"Fat chances, Egghead," Sonic replied. "You can't win."
"Fine!" Eggman stopped. "If I can't win, you can't win! I'll see you again soon! I promise!"
"In your dreams!" Sonic said.
Well, that's the end of Chapter Three! Sorry it seemed rushed at the end, but I couldn't make a long, boring fight scene. So, I'm tired from this writing. I won't give out Chapter Four's story, but I will give the title out: "The Story of A Random Summer Day (Or The Worst Summer Day)"
See you next chapter!
