Bonus Chapter 2: New Family Time!

Sam awoke to see Aleena smiling at him.

"Good morning, Sam." she said.

Sam smiled at her, "Good morning, Que-, I mean, Mom." he said as he got out of bed. When he walked downstairs, he saw the Sonic Underground playing video games.

"Morning, Sam." Sonic said as he landed a blow on a boss in Spider-Man.

"Aww, cool! Spider-Man!" Sam said as he ran into the living room and watched Sonic fight Venom.

"You like Spider-Man?" asked Sonia. Sam nodded and Sonic handed him the controller. Sam easily got hold of the controls and beat Venom, making the rest of the family applaud.

"Nice work, kid!" Manic said before ruffling his hair, making him smile. The four hedgehogs played video games for a while before they decided to take Sam to Tails' house. Sam marveled at the many machines in the workshop.

"What's that?" Sam asked, pointing at a plane.

"That's my plane, the Tornado. It was originally Sonic's, but after I fixed it up for him, he gave to me. Actually, that's how we met." Tails answered. After leaving, the royal hedgehogs introduced Sam to Knuckles and his most guarded treasure, the Master Emerald.

"What makes this Master Emerald different from the Chaos Emeralds, Knuckles?" Sam asked out of curiosity.

The red echidna smiled at him, "Well, nothing really. The Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald all contain large reserves of Chaos Energy. But the Master Emerald keeps the power of the Chaos Emeralds from going out of control." Knuckles answered. Then, all of a sudden, the Chaos Emeralds appeared and circled Sam.

"Where did they come from?" he asked.

Sonic smiled, "Hey, how would you like to see if we can get you a super form?" he asked. Sam nodded.

"All right then. Just concentrate on absorbing the Chaos Energy from each of them. Just imagine doing it." Sonic instructed.

"Don't do too much at once, though." Sonia said.

Sam said, "OK." and imagined absorbing the Chaos Energy just like Sonic said. Soon enough, his quills rose like Super Sonic's and the Chaos Emeralds were absorbed into him, covering him with a golden flash of light. When it faded, Sam had shining brown fur and a golden aura. He was Super Sam! Sonic's family and Knuckles applauded.

"Way to go, kid!" Knuckles said, giving a thumbs-up.

Aleena came over and gave Sam a kiss on the cheek, "We're so proud of you, Sam." she said. Sam smiled before he remembered something.

"Hey, when I saw you guys do this, I started practicing it and I think I finally got it down." he said before he jumped in the air and dashed toward a rock, breaking it into pieces.

"Ta-da!" Sam said as he landed. Everyone clapped again.

"Nice Homing Attack, Sam!" said Manic. After teaching Sam how to fly and regulate his power, Sonic and his family took him around town before something came out of nowhere and hugged Sonic tightly. You guessed it: Amy Rose, ladies and gentlemen. Only this time, instead of breaking for it, Sonic hugged her back and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Wassup, Amester?" Sonic asked.

"Nothing much. Just got done looking at a shop or two in the mall and I found this." she said as she pulled out a sword.

"Woah." said Manic.

"With your permission, Queen Aleena, I'd like to give this to Sam to use as a weapon, since he doesn't have a medallion." Amy said.

Aleena smiled before she asked Sam, "Do you know how to use a sword, Sam?"

Sam nodded then said, "A little. I've watched Samurai Jack."

Aleena looked at Amy and said, "I don't see why not." Amy smiled before she handed the sword to the tan hedgehog. Later, after training Sam to use his sword, he and the four royal hedgehogs were sitting in the living room, watching TV.

Sam looked at Aleena and her children and smiled before he said, "Hey, guys." They looked at him.

"Thanks for taking me in. I couldn't ask for any better family." Sam said before he went over and hugged Sonic, making the family smile as they hugged him back.
