[AUTHOR'S NOTE: Don't worry—every Sonic character (that isn't from the past) will eventually be here, but anyone who is under 10 in the current Sonic world isn't born/created yet. I know Rouge would be a grade ahead of Sonic, but oh well. I'm going with a new format because there is so much conversation. Please tell me which format you like better. This chapter may seem much longer than the others, but that's just because I skipped so many lines.]

Sonic ran downstairs this morning, very agitated. "Mom! You didn't wake me up! Where's my breakfast? I'm going to be late for school!"

Sonic's mom smiled. "It's Saturday, honey."

"What does that mean?"

"There's no school today."

"Oh..." Sonic said, disappointed.

"Maybe you could have Isaac over today."

Sonic was excited at this. "Can I run there myself? It's only one block."

Sonic was out the door the second his mom agreed. It only took him about a minute to reach Isaac's house. He was really excited as he rung the doorbell. Isaac's mom answered. "Can Isaac play?" "Sure. I'll call him. ISAAAC! Sonic wants you to go over to his house!" "Coming, Mom."
Isaac emerged from the back of the house, carrying a huge bundle covered in a sheet. He was smiling. "Before we go, Sonic, I want to show you something." He pulled the sheet off. "Ta-dah!" It was a brand-new robot!

"Awesome!" Sonic said in wonder. It looked even better than the last one!

"This one knows a new trick!" Isaac pressed a blue button on his remote. Suddenly, propellers sprouted out of its head and arms, and it flew into the air!

"That is SO cool!" Sonic said, barely able to contain his amazement. "I wish I had one."

"I could make you one." Isaac offered.

"You could? That would be the best! I'll make you something too! Come on, let's go over to my house!"

But just after the two friends set off, they ran into a problem. Sonic had forgotten that Isaac couldn't run fast. But the ever-resourceful young hedgehog knew what to do. He picked up Isaac (he was light as a feather) and ran piggyback the rest of the way home.
When Sonic and Isaac arrived, Sonic found Mortimer waiting inside.

"Hi Sonic." Mortimer said awkwardly. "I was going to see if you could come over, but you weren't there. I can see you're busy, so I'll just go home."

"No, Mortimer, why don't you stay and play here?" Sonic asked.

"Well, okay."

"Hey Mortimer, I showed Sonic the new robot," Isaac said, smiling.

"It was so cool!" Sonic said. "Even better than the first one!"

Mortimer smiled. Suddenly, Sonic had an idea. He told his mother to bend down. He whispered something in her ear. Mortimer and Isaac tried to hear what it was, but they couldn't. Sonic's mother stood up, and Sonic started cheering.

"What is it?" Mortimer and Isaac asked in unison.

"You guys can sleep over at my house!" The three friends cheered wildly. Then, Sonic had another idea. "Hey Mom, can Knuckles sleep over too?"

"All right, but you guys have to be in bed by nine o' clock."

Sonic blasted out the door, and was at Knuckles' house within minutes. Sonic rang breathlessly. When Knuckles' mom answered, he immediately asked, "Can Knuckles sleep over?" His mother agreed, smiling. She called Knuckles, and Sonic explained the situation. Knuckles, of course, was eager to go. Sonic brought Knuckles to his house piggyback.
When Sonic and Knuckles got there, Sonic suggested going outside. The other three readily agreed. Sonic wanted to play his tree-jumping game, but he knew that Mortimer—a human—would never be able to jump one tree. So he suggested Tag instead. "Don't worry," he assured them. "I'll only walk, so it's fair."
The game began. Knuckles was It first. He was fast. He went after Isaac. He was just about to catch him, when Isaac jumped way over Knuckles' head. Mortimer was watching his jump, spellbound, so Knuckles seized the opportunity. Mortimer was It now. He wasn't very fast, so the others slowed down a bit. Mortimer went after Sonic. Sonic let Mortimer tag him. He wanted to go after Isaac. It was a long chase, because Sonic was going so slow. But eventually, Isaac began to tire. Sonic finally tagged him. Isaac was about to tag Mortimer, when Sonic's mother called them in for dinner.
There were four delicious-looking bowls of pasta waiting on the table for them. "Yum!" said Isaac rapturously. "Spaghetti! My favorite!" The four friends ate their pasta slowly, savoring the excellent flavor. Except for Isaac, who wolfed down bowl after bowl. "This is delicious, Mrs. Hedgehog," said Mortimer, ever the polite one. "Why thank you," said Sonic's mother, charmed. "It's my secret recipe."
When Sonic and co. finished their dinner; Sonic's mother said that they only had an hour until bedtime. "Pillow fight!" Sonic yelled. They all rushed upstairs to grab their weapons. They had a blast. The fight lasted over half an hour. Once the pillow fight was over, the boys were getting sleepy. They decided to turn in. They fell asleep almost immediately, excited about playing some more tomorrow.
