A/N: Technology vs. Non-Technology, title is perfect for this chapter.
Sonic and his team are about to arrive in the town of Peach Creek by a giant bus from the Vancouver Airport to their Hotel, known as "The Cobbler Hotel". "So why is this place famous?" Zooey asked. "Apparently, ever since Ed, Edd, N Eddy and the other Cul-De-Sac kids help rebuilt the town after an earthquake, Peach Creek became a tourist attraction and rank in over hundred thousands of dollars, it was obvious they needed to expand the town, and why not have A Five Star resort with a giant pool, a huge video game arcade, and an entire floor with a workout center, and famous for their Peach Cobbler pies." Amy explained while reading the brochure to not only Zooey, but to Sticks, Aurora, Rouge, Tails, and Sonic. "What about the buffet?" Sonic asked. "And yes, they have a buffet along with all you can eat chili dogs." She dreaded saying that.
She looks to see that Eggman is not with them on the bus. "Where's Eggman? I think he would like to hear about the workout center." "He flew himself since he is an international flyers license and he wanted to go to the farmers market so he can cook tonight for us." Sonic told her. "I love it when he cooks these big feasts, and this might be his best ever." Tails said. "I'm glad he decided to go while Orbot and Cubot are taking care of our home." Sonic added. "I can't see any one of us going to an organic food market." "I wanted to go to the Farmers market!" Aurora said disappointed. Knowing that Aurora is still young and can change her mind, Amy looks back at the brochure. "Did I mention that their pool has a 50-foot water slide?" Amy said to cheer up Aurora, whose face went from disappointed to happy. "There it is." Amy said, causing everyone to laugh at this.
They drive by and see the Junk Yard, which Tails takes a picture off and note. "Reminder to check for spare parts for the Tornado." The next thing they pass is the School of Peach Creek, which Aurora has interest in. "I would like to see what that school looks like." She said. "Many kids around the world dread school but the moment she stepped in, she loved it." Amy whispered to Sonic. "And somehow we didn't go to school but managed to be successful." Sonic added. "Uh, I went to school, Sonic." Said Amy, causing Sonic to feel dumb for saying that. "Mom?" Aurora sounded worried. Amy looks to see what got her worried and she sees the Park and Flush trailer park with the video of her beat down being shown. "Looks like we know who lives here." Rouge said, knowing that the Kankers live here, is not happy with what she sees. "Too bad we have to follow the rules." Zooey said, wishing to go after the Kankers for what they did to Amy. As they passed the trailer park, Aurora looked at her mom. "Mom?" She asked. "Yes, Aurora?" Amy said back. "Promise me one thing." "What's that?" "Kick her ass." Said Aurora, causing the rest of the bus to laugh.
Eggman arrived at the Peach Creek's Farmers Market as he parked his Egg mobile next to a wagon where a Goat is hauling it. "What kind of lunatic still drives with animals?" He said, disgusted by the site. "Don't animals have freedom." Eggman said but realized that this was the pot calling the kettle black. "Nevermind." He enters the market, but still wasn't impressed with the wagon. "I get it's a farmer's market, but come on, what crazy farmer would leave a goat out in the street?" Not paying attention, he passed by JoSterio who is meeting someone at the market. "I hope he takes the news well." JoSterio, worried what that person would think. "Really wish Rolf wouldn't let Victor out like that." He gave his opinion on the whole thing.
The Sonic team arrived at the hotel and entered the lobby and are amazed to see how big it was as a mural painted of the entire town, with Vancouver just in the background. "Beautiful." Tails, amazed as he took off his sunglasses. "It's like a 10-year run lasted more then 21 years and everyone still remembers how great it is." Sonic said, amazed as well. "It's amazing how three kids started it all." Rouge said, impressed as well. "Can we go to the slide?" Aurora said, changing the subject. "Let's check in first and go to our rooms first before we head to the pool." Amy said, but she looks to see that everyone was gone. "Always on the move." She said, heading to check in, sad that everyone left, only for them to appear behind her. "Just realized we need wristbands to get into the pool." Sonic explained to her. "Once we check in, we can go." She promised them, and she is greeted by the hotel clerk.
JoSterio is at the Farmers market at Rolf's stand which had different grilled exotic animals and fish. "As much as some of these animals I never expected to try, I am not ashamed to say that this Zebra meat is surprisingly good." JoSterio said as he took another bite of Zebra that Rolf made him, but the Son of the Sheppard wasn't happy with him. "What do you mean there have been changes?!" "After Lee Kankers stunt, I had to make a concise decision and it's a match that was better then the reunion idea, which can still happen, but I haven't gotten a call from those three yet." JoSterio referring to the Eds. "Have you heard from them?" He asked Rolf. "No, but knowing the strong yet dumb Ed boy, he might not be back from that Monster Cruise. As for the Brainy Ed boy, he might not be back from that Science Convention in the east. And for the short round Ed boy, he might still be in the mountains with his girlfriend." Rolf told JoSterio. "So, in other words, nobody knows how long they'll be." "Correct you blue mask duck." Rolf insulted. "I think you meant" JoSterio stopped, knowing what Rolf was trying to say. "Nope, your right."
Rolf looks at a couple who were taking photos, which angered him. "How can people enjoy something that is special, by ruining the moment with a soul stealing mini camera?" JoSterio looked but didn't see Rolf's side. "Why is it a problem?" He asked. "One day, Rolf will try to get a job and the next day he will lose it to technology." Rolf explained "Don't you have a phone?" JoSterio pointed out. "Only use it to take and make calls." Rolf defending his reasoning. "Fair enough." Rolf remembered that he left something in the wagon. "Hey, you think you can help Rolf?" He asked. "I left a crate of home-made seasonings in the wagon. Can you watch Rolf's front for five minutes so I can get it?" JoSterio didn't want to but since he wasn't needed back at his office, he didn't want to get attacked by Rolf. "All right, but five minutes." He reluctantly agreed. "Thank you!" Rolf said and went to his wagon. "Wish I could think of another fight to add, but until the Eds respond, I don't know what to do." JoSterio felt defeated, and took another bite of the Zebra meat. "Now I know why Alex wanted to eat Marty." JoSterio making a joke to himself.
Five minutes passed as JoSterio waited for Rolf. "Come on farm boy; where are you?" He said getting impatient. He gets an incoming call and it's from Eddy. "Hey Eddy, I wanted to get in touch with you." He answered. Listen, I wanted to tell you that I want you, Double D, Ed, and your new girlfriend to come to my office, but I don't know when that can happen. Yeah, about that reunion-" He stopped after hearing a woman scream. "Hey, can you call me back when all four of you can make it? Cause I think Rolf started a fight." He hangs up after getting an answer from Eddy. He runs and see's Rolf and Eggman trying to put each other in a submission. 'Hey, that's Doctor Eggman of the Sonic team.' He thought to himself. 'But why are these two fighting?' He asked, but he sees the two vehicles and he now know why. "What happened?" He asked a bystander next to him. "These two were arguing over technology and the big guy knocked the crate, while the blue haired one knocked the bag of meat out of the big guys hand!" The bystander explained. JoSterio looks down the road and see's the cops coming, and he knew that there was only one way to save them from going to jail, he takes out his phone and records the fight.
The cops pick both fighters up and are about to cuff them, but JoSterio intervenes. "It's alright officers, these men were not supposed to fight until Summer Stampede. "What?" Both Rolf and Eggman said confused, but then they knew it was the only way to not get sent to jail. After a couple of minutes, and showing them the match card, the cops let the men go with a warning. "As your boss said, save it for the Stampede." The main officer said, and with that the cops left, and the bystanders cleared out and returned to what they were doing. "Well, you two better explain why you were fighting." Josterio demanded an answer. "Are you saying that the Son of the Sheppard must explain why he attack a machine loving Egg boy?" Rolf giving his side. "First off, it's Eggman!" An angry Eggman said to Rolf. "And I wasn't trying to be mean to you! You decided to not like what I had to say about how machines can make farming easier!" He argued. "But no, you said that the fabric of humanity is depended on farming without multiple machines. Speaking of which, don't you drive a tractor?" Eggman asked. "Yes, but when it comes to the simple things about farming, you don't need robots to help you!" Rolf added to his point.
Both men kept arguing but didn't realize that Josterio along with a few others are recording the encounter with their phones. "And when do tickets go on sale?" One of them asked JoSterio. "This Friday at 10 a.m. at Summer or any other sites that sell tickets." JoSterio offered. "Thanks." He said back. "Oh, it's not done yet; watch this." He said to the bystanders. "Enough!" He yelled, causing both men to stop and look at him. "It's clear that not only did you guys broke the rules of Stampede, but you just booked the fourth match of the event. It might be a little harsh, but the match will be a 30-minute Iron Man match where whoever scores the most pins wins." As JoSterio finished, both Eggman and Rolf looked at each other. "You good with that?" He asked Rolf. "Rolf agrees." Rolf said back and got into a fighter stance to pose for the camera's.
