Chapter 17: Day 16: Beach Day 2.
The four royal hedgehogs had won a free vacation to Emerald Coast and were currently at a cottage near the beach. It was a small green one with a nice living room and two bedrooms. The hedgehogs were happy knowing they could relax without having to worry about Eggman since Sonic kicked his butt like a football last battle. Sonic was sitting in his and Aleena's room, playing Dragon Ball Fusions on his 2DS.
"Ah, nothing like a nice vacation." said Sonic before he noticed Aleena stick her head in the door.
"Hi, sweetie." she said with a smile.
Sonic smiled back, "Sup, Mom?" he asked.
"Sonia and Manic are at the arcade. Would you like to meet them at the beach with me?" Aleena asked. Sonic nodded. After Aleena changed into her bathing suit, she and Sonic went down to the beach and set up their chairs and umbrella.
"Hey, Mom, let's see who can swim faster." Sonic challenged once they put on sunscreen.
"Okay." Aleena said as she and Sonic jumped in the ocean and swam to a certain point and back, resulting in a tie.
"Whew. Wow, Mom, you're a fast swimmer." Sonic said as they laid in their chairs.
"I always was first in swim contests when I was younger." Aleena said as she folded her chair back and laid down.
Sonic then had an idea and smiled, "Hey, Mom." he said. Aleena looked at him.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Check this out." Sonic said before he hopped off his chair and ran in a circle, stirring up a cloud of dust. When it cleared, Aleena was surprised to see Sonic had made a life-sized sand version of him giving a thumbs up while standing beside her as she smiled.
"That's cool, sweetheart." Aleena said as she clapped. Sonic bowed.
"Does someone have a camera?" asked a voice. Sonic and Aleena looked and were happy to see Sonia and Manic smiling at them.
"Hey, what do you two say we have a surfing contest?" asked Sonic, to which his siblings agreed. Sonic and Aleena rode on a red surfboard while Sonia and Manic rode a brown one.
"Check this out! Green Hill Zone Loop-de-Loop!" Manic shouted as he and Sonia rode a wave like Sonic would go through a loop de loop.
"That's nothing. Check this out. I call this the Homing Attack Triangle Jump!" Sonic said before he and his mom jumped with the board and used Homing Attacks in a zigzag pattern to jump through the underside of the wave.
"Oh, yeah? Try this: the Spring Bounce!" Sonia said as she and Manic bounced around the wall of water as if by springs.
"How's about this? This is my old move: the Surfing Breakdown!" Aleena said as she and Sonic started breakdancing, moving the board with them as they expertly moved around the wave.
"Woo-hoo! We're on a roll!" Aleena shouted as the four hedgehogs continued their little contest. After finishing it, the four hedgehogs swam and splashed for some time before hanging out on the beach. Afterwards, the four hedgehogs went to grab a bite before heading back to the cottage.
