Tuesday, September 7; 3:00 p.m.

The Mc'Newman's are currently driving to the Station Square Retirement Home. Why? Because yesterday, after Aleena heard Sonic complaining about not meeting his grandparents, she decided to talk to her husband Jacob about the situation. Turns out Jacob's parents live in a retirement home. He's always wanted Sonic and Sonia to meet them, but he just never found the perfect time.

As soon as the four hedgehogs stop at a parking space, they get out and walk in the building. While Jacob walks to the front counter for directions, Aleena finds somewhere to sit, and Sonic and Sonia run around the room while looking at the many elderly people.

Aleena looks up and calls to her kids, "Sonic, Sonia; be careful! There's a lot of old people in here. You don't want to bump into them."

Sonic and Sonia don't respond to their mom as they run around like the happy kids they are. An elderly hedgehog couple walk out of an elevator and Sonic ends up bumping into the man.

The old male hedgehog is a royal blue color with sky blue eyes and a peach muzzle. He is wearing a white buttoned-up shirt, moss green slacks with brown suspenders and brown loafers.

The woman is yellow with bright green eyes and peach skin. She is wearing a hot pink dress with floral print on it, brown loafers, and small rectangle-shaped glasses. Her quills, which are partly gray, are tied up in a soft bun.

"I'm sorry sir!" Sonic says, "I didn't see where I was going!"

The man looks down to the five-year-old hedgehog and says, "It's okay, sonny. You were just being a kid."

As this is happening, Aleena and Jacob speed-walk over to them to see if everything is okay. Aleena puts her hand on Sonic's shoulder saying, "Sonic, I told you to be careful. You could have hurt yourself or that poor man."

The elderly hedgehog then says to the pregnant mother, "Don't worry, Aleena. I'm alright. Your son is, too."

Aleena's eyes grow big as the old man said her name, "Wait, how do you know my name?!"

The old man's wife answers Aleena's question, "You don't remember Robert Mc'Newman?"

"No, not at all!" Aleena answers.

"Don't worry about it, Abigail," Robert says to the yellow hedgehog, "These people haven't seen us since their wedding eight years ago."

Jacob then says, "It's okay, Dad. Why don't you and Mom come sit with us?"

"That's a great idea, Jacob!" Abigail smiles.

Everyone then sits at a table. Aleena grabs her iPad out of her purse and gives it to Sonia. "You can play on this for now," she says to her daughter.

"Yay!" Sonia agrees.

Curious on why the family is here, Abigail asks, "So Jacob, what brings you here?"

Jacob gives a long explanation to his old mother, "We just moved here a few weeks ago. I got a promotion."

Robert stands up with his arms in the air and says with glee, "A promotion?! That's amazing!" and then sits back down, "Anything else?"

And that's when Sonic decides to talk about Grandparents Day. "My school's celebrating Grandparents Day this Friday, and my teacher wants you to come!"

"Grandparents Day?" Abigail wonders, "That sounds like fun!"

"I know!" Robert agrees with his wife, "We've never celebrated it our whole lives before!"

Then all of a sudden, Robot comes in the building and says, "May I have your attention, please?" Everyone turns their heads to the yellow-orange machine. "Thank you. Dr. Eggman's mother is looking for someone to marry, so may all of you elderly men walk out of the building in an orderly fashion line?"

And just like that, all the men except Robert cram through the door. Looking away from the cramming men, Sonic says, "I didn't know Eggman had a mom."

Jacob agrees as he says, "I can't even imagine what she would look like." and then shutters at his own comment.

"What do you think is gonna happen to those men?" Abigail wants to know.


And that was Chapter 3! Good news: Someone voted on my poll! It was for the Pokemon journey. They didn't say what region they wanted, so I'll make a new poll for that. Out of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos, what region do you want me to go through? Put your answer down in the reviews or PM me and I'll see you in Chapter 4!
