Hi! Before we get into the chapter, I'd like to say something. Starting from this moment on, I will stop using script format. Why am I stopping? Because if I keep using it, then I won't be allowed to write anymore stories! I also took down the pole, cause no one ever votes on it. Anyways, let's go on to Chapter 7.
Tuesday, August 31; 7:45 a.m.
Sonic wakes up in his blue quilted bed, feeling tired. He was glad his parents didn't punish him last night, due to going to Espio's house without asking first. If he went to someone's house without asking again...well...it would depend. He also wanted to ask his parents something. Something important. Something Espio does.
Flashback
Sonic and Espio were in the dojo room, playing around. Yes, in the Kaneko's small apartment, there was still one room to do something free, and that was for Espio to learn karate.
Espio tells Sonic, "This is how you slice a cardboard in half."
Espio grabs a piece of cardboard and uses his hand to chop the board, but ends up unsuccessful.
"Ow..." Espio groans as he hold his injured hand.
"Looks like you still need practice," Sonic says.
"I know...," Espio says, "Do you wanna try?"
"Sure," Sonic says. He grabs the same board Espio had, uses his land to chop it, and also ends up unsuccessful.
"Ow!" he cries, "That hurt!"
Mr. Kaneko comes in the dojo and sees Sonic and Espio, holding their hands in pain. He is nearly scared as he asks, "Are you two okay?"
"Yeah...," Sonic replies in pain.
"We tried to chop a piece of cardboard with our hands...," Espio explains.
"Well, you two better be careful," Mr. Kaneko says, "You could be seriously hurt."
"Mr. Kaneko, can I ask you something?" Sonic asks.
"Sure," says Mr. Kaneko.
"Can you teach me karate?" he asks.
Mr. Kaneko is silent for a while until...
"I will think about it," he says, exiting the room, "That's something you should ask your parents."
Espio, wanting to know why Sonic wants to take karate, asks him, "Why do you want to take karate?"
Sonic answers, "Because I'm a superhero in-training."
Espio thinks Sonic is lying, so he asks him, "Are you sure?"
Sonic answers again, "No, but I'm going to be."
"What makes you say that?" Espio asks.
"There's an evil man named 'Dr. Eggman,' who wants to kill me," Sonic explains, "I don't know why, but he just does."
Espio's starting to believe his friend and he wants to help him with this Eggman situation.
"Why don't you just tell an adult?" he asks.
Sonic explains some more, "'Cause when I do, they tell Eggman to stop, but he just wants more! I just want to learn how to defend myself and fight back."
Espio thinks hard about this and finally says, "Alright. I'll beg my dad, and you should beg your parents, too."
Flashback ends
As Sonic throws on a red t-shirt, blue shorts, and red sneakers, he races downstairs and into the kitchen. He sees Aleena sitting at the table, eating fruit.
"Morning, Mom," Sonic says.
Aleena looks up to Sonic and says, "Good morning, Sonic. Did you have a good night's sleep?"
"Yep," Sonic answers, "Can you get me some cereal?"
Aleena gets up from the table and walks to the cupboard to grab two different kinds of cereal, which was either Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Trix.
"Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Trix?" she asks.
Sonic is disappointed because his favorite cereal, Lucky Charms isn't one of the options.
"Why can't I have Lucky Charms?" he asks.
"Because the marshmallows make you hyper, remember?" Aleena responds.
"Oh, yeah," Sonic says, "I'll have Trix."
"Trix it is," Aleena says.
"Mom?"
"Yes?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
Sonic comes up with the right words and says, "I want to be able to fight Eggman back. So I was wondering if Mr. Kaneko can teach me karate?"
Aleena thinks about this as she brings Sonic's bowl of Trix to him. She finally says, "Well...I'm not sure. Mr. Kaneko knows karate?"
"Yep," Sonic says, "So does Espio."
Aleena think some more and says, "You can learn karate..."
"YES!"
" - if...I talk to your father about this. He needs to know this as well."
"Thanks, Mom," Sonic says as he hugs Aleena, "You're the best!"
"You're welcome," Aleena says, "Now let's go wake your sister."
Sonic starts complaining, "But why? Can I stay here with you?"
"No," Aleena says, "You have to go to school."
"Okay...," Sonic says as he walks upstairs with Aleena.
And that was Chapter 7! What did you think of it? What did you think of it writing-wise? I'm thinking of re-publishing my other stories, so they will look more normal. I'm gonna put another poll on my account, so go write in the reviews, and I'll see you in Chapter 8!
