sonic thought his life was fine, he never wanted anything more ; Robotnik was the best dad ever and his father-son bond was strong with him.

"Dad, it's Saturday!"

"but it's early, I haven't even made breakfast go read something or watch something."

sonic went to watch something, he didn't really have a favourite show, he put on a documentary, an old one about hedgehogs in the city, probably hundreds or thousands years old as they were the small brown ones, he was rooting for the one the narrator called Thomas but then another hedgehog took his things and Thomas was sad and even worse a female hedgehog rejected his advances, poor Thomas he thought, lost all his things and got rejected, it got boring after a while, until another female hedgehog accepted him but he decided to put it on a kid's show, about these best friends doing best friend things, sonic wanted a best friend but he didn't know how to get one, did he really need a best friend or not, sonic longed for a friend, that's why he plays classroom with his toys, he does get envious of people in media like books, movies or tv shows or games when he sees them with a friend.

"breakfast is ready!" Eggman said

sonic came to the table and ate his breakfast, he obviously knew that Robotnik wasn't his biological father but sonic believed in a sentimental family with care and he was enough of a parent figure for him because he cared for sonic.

sonic went back to his things, a daily task came onto his device - part of home schooling, it was to write about what you would like the most and why. sonic was not sure if he should put anything there, about his desire for a best friend, or maybe for his dad to achieve his dream about being the emperor of the whole world, he wrote down about wanting a friend, he didn't know what else to write, he spammed the backspace button and wrote : global happiness and drew him and his dad with a background full of vegetation and rainbows. he ran to show his dad and Robotnik took one look at the assignment and almost cried of happiness, he sent it onto his fridge's display with the other drawings so every time he opened and closed the fridge, he would see his art.

sonic tried to bring up the subject of having a playdate or something, he was too anxious to even bring it up and changed the subject.

one time Robotnik was working on a prototype for a robot, sonic came into his office/lab and looked at the prototype.

"dad, what is that?" sonic inquisitively asked.

"it's a prototype, would you like to see?" Robotnik replied

"yes!"

sonic thought maybe he could talk to the robot, since it was going to be used on a mission.

"wanna see my drawings?" he asked the robot

Robotnik looked at him and smiled, he felt proud he was raising him, he was going to be a valuable operative for the empire. he then activated the robot and sent commands from his computer and made the robot play with him; interaction skills are important if he wants the best operative. sonic then had a lengthy play session with the robot.

"what's your name?"

the robot gave a shrug, and turned it's head.

"I'll call ya buddy!"

sonic and buddy went to the play ground and played together.

"dad! can I play with buddy tomorrow?"

"is that what you called him?"

"yes!"

"of course, but now you have to say bye as you have your daily training session."

"bye buddy, see you tomorrow!"

sonic went to the room to train, he put on the haptics and gave the ready signal. He would try and see if gaining enough momentum and curling up would help, it seemed effective, he also tried to curl up while jumping and decided to destroy a few simulated prototypes, a lot more power went into destroying them. if he could barely beat them, those 'traitorous insurgents' (as his likes to call them) would probably retreat. after the simulation, he went to his dad and complimented his robots.

"hey dad! do you know what I want to be when I grow up?"

"what would you like to be?"

"I would love to be something special for the empire!"

"you already are, son, when I was younger, I always wanted to be a scientist like my grandfather, I heard about how great his work was and wanted to be as great as him!"

"all these robots are really cool dad!" sonic stated "you are a great scientist!"

"aww thanks!"

sonic would always wake up a little early and have his breakfast, do his work have lunch and finish his work and play for a bit and then have dinner and train and go to sleep, same and boring day, sonic wondered if Eggman had an interesting life or any major enemies he had before he took full responsibility of him and took him in.

"dad did you have any enemies?" sonic asked

"well before i took full responsibility of you there was this pair that was stopping my dream from being fufilled, but they can't bother us anymore!" robotnik replied

"what happened to them?"

"well, those pests are gone, is it okay if you go now, i need to work!"

"okay dad."

Those 2, he was there that day, he killed them, saw them leak that fountain of red, his sworn enemies, he remembered when they were just starting to be a minor threat, now one of the most effective forces against him, but he could get rid of them; after all, he is a certified genius and always has a plan, it was useless to resist against him, he had this massive arsenal and no one alive could match his genius power and he had sonic, the fastest thing alive, great for getting chaos emeralds as he also had a reaction to them.

He thought he was lucky to find him that day after leaving the warzone, one of Nemeses was in a super form, something gained from the power of chaos emeralds, meant to make the user a strong being, but machinery always prevails over magic and people.

his other Nemeses, tomboyish, cool, a bit over confident, quick and cocky unlike her spouse, serious, tactical, sometimes short-tempered, she perished before him but were both persistent for people, he had to use his strongest robots until the robots were defeated, destroyed. only when he brought out his special mech, with enough pressure to squash a small house and partially covered in rotating spikes and missiles to destroy things within a 5 mile radius all while protecting the user.

that day, he had taken the city and many lives, the invasion would have gone a lot quicker if they hadn't interfere, he was the pest control, did his job and rode back to one of his bases, seeing a small blue child, and that note, he was hesitant but saw potential, use the child, he might be useful one day. Pest control, he needs to stop a small resistance before it gets big.
