[AUTHOR'S NOTE: Mortimer isn't Eggman, actually his father is (Please, call
me Ivo). That may have been too subtle, or you might not have known that
Eggman's real first name is Ivo. Anyway... I just realized that I never did a
disclaimer. I am not in any way affiliated with SEGA or Sonic Team. I do
not own Sonic the Hedgehog or any other character in his games. I DO own
Mortimer, along with other cameo appearances such as Mary, Matt, Sonic's
parents, etc. I also do not own the rights for Mario Kart: Double Dash.
(Don't worry, I'm not crazy, MK: DD is in the chapter.) Enjoy!]
Sonic woke up this morning, scared. He saw strange, snoring lumps covered in blankets surrounding him. Then he remembered. They were Knuckles, Isaac, and Mortimer! "Hey guys!" he said. "Wake up!" The other three got up groggily, wiping the sleep out of their eyes. "You wanna go play outside?" "No, it's too early," Knuckles groaned. "Let's go eat."
But when Sonic and friends got downstairs, no one else was up yet. It was still far too cold to play outside. Knuckles wanted to go back to sleep. Sonic knew what they could do. He suggested going to play a video game. "Cool!" Isaac exclaimed. "What game?" "How about Mario Kart: Double Dash?" The other three readily agreed. And it was just their luck—Sonic had enough controllers for everyone.
Sonic picked Bowser and Mario in the DK Jumbo, Mortimer was Koopa and Baby Mario in the Para Wing, Knuckles was DK and Wario in the Koopa King, and Isaac chose Baby Luigi and Luigi in Luigi Kart (Isaac is a huge fan of Luigi). [AUTHOR'S NOTE: Remember, they're only five. They aren't very good. Sonic hasn't unlocked everything, and no one knows how to mini-turbo. Those of you who have never played this game might want to skip the next paragraph.]
For the first race, they picked Peach Beach. Sonic quickly took the lead. But Knuckles, who was in second, got a Red Shell and a Giant Banana. He threw the shell, putting him in the lead. He then threw the banana, which Sonic ran right into. Mortimer pulled ahead of Sonic. Knuckles was pretty far in the lead; but Isaac—who was in last—got a Spiny Shell. He threw it, putting Knuckles in third. Isaac got three mushrooms, putting him just ahead of Knuckles. Mortimer was in first at this point, but everyone was close. They passed the finish line within five seconds of each other. The second lap began. Sonic passed Mortimer, and threw a Bowser Shell backwards. This plowed Isaac and Mortimer over, allowing Knuckles to pass them both. Sonic and Knuckles passed the finish line. It was the last lap. Knuckles threw a Red Shell, but Sonic threw a Green Shell backwards at it. But then Knuckles had extraordinary luck. He got a Bob-omb on the last stretch. He threw it forward. Direct hit! Knuckles finished in first, Sonic in second, Mortimer in third, and Isaac in last. The four were about to start another race on Daisy Cruiser when Sonic's mom called them up for breakfast.
They were having pancakes with bacon. They gobbled down their breakfast, and went outside to play. This time they played Freeze Tag. After a few hours, it was time for Sonic's friends to leave. Mortimer walked to his house next door, while Sonic carried Knuckles and Isaac home.

It was Monday again, and Sonic was getting ready for school. He had his usual breakfast of cereal, and then went out to wait for the bus. He went to the bus stop himself now. The bus came, Sonic got to school, and he played outside, the teachers called the students in, same as always. But something new happened in the classroom.
"Class, we have another new student joining us today. This is Tikal." A light brown female echidna stepped in. A holy aura seemed to surround her.
"Hi, I'm Tikal. My father is the chief of an ancient tribe. He has an extremely long and unpronounceable name that starts with a 'W'.
Sonic raised his hand. "Yes?" Tikal asked.
"Aren't you dead?"
"Ummm... Nooo..."
"Tikal, you can sit here with Sonic, Espio, and Rouge," said Ms. Evelyn.
"Great." Rouge rolled her eyes. "Another dork contaminating my breathing air." But Rouge and Espio grew to like her. She eventually passed into the dark side—the popular kids. She became almost as huffy and rude as Rouge—and that's saying something.
Today was the first Art class. The art teacher's name was Mrs. Obokinibichanikthawickachoochoo. The students just called her Mrs. O. Today they were supposed to paint pictures of their backyards. Rouge's got a lot of attention. She painted a huge scene with a swimming pool, a vegetable garden, a huge flower garden, a greenhouse, a hedge maze, and three fountains. "Of course..." Sonic sighed. Knuckles' was surprisingly good. It was better than Rouge's, but still no one said, "That's good, Knuckles." Knuckles almost cried. Sonic, Isaac, and Mortimer loved it, though. The rest of the day was spent without much excitement.
When Sonic went to bed that night, he wondered what made everyone like the popular kids so much. Knuckles was really nice, yet he didn't have any friends before Sonic came along. He—along with Isaac and Mortimer—was much nicer than Rouge and Espio. Was it because they were rich? Or wore such cool clothes? Sonic had no idea.
[AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry, that chapter was pretty short. Don't worry—Tikal isn't just there because I felt like adding her. I don't want to spoil anything else, though. Just don't worry. It will all be revealed in time.]
