Sonic is running from the law and he gets rid of two thing that make him who he is, his gloves and shoes. He then meets a family who are willing to help him through this difficult time. Based on the original design of Sonic The Hedgehog 2020. This version of Sonic will be older and more mature than his video game persona. (DISCONTINUED)

3. A Friendly Ride

It had been 30 minutes since Sonic hitched a ride onto a school bus. Chuck, the bus driver, seemed like a nice guy and decided to help Sonic out. Sonic sat down in the front row of bus, while thinking about his current situation. "Where can I even go at this point? Everything in the world has seen me on TV and online. Who can I even trust? Maybe Chuck, but there's a small chance he could sell me out for money." Sonic thought to himself.

Due to the fact that Sonic has worn shoes his entire life, he didn't know what to do with his newly exposed feet. He thought about putting them on the floor, but he saw a bunch of trash and bottles down there. "Must have been kids. Or drunk teens." Sonic thought to himself. "Hey Chuck?" asked Sonic. "Yeah Sonic?" said Chuck. "Do you mind if I put my feet up on top of the seat? It's just that there's trash on the ground and I'm not used to wearing no footwear." said Sonic. "Sure, go ahead. I won't mind." said Chuck. Sonic then stretched his legs and put his feet on top of the seat. He yawned and wiggled his toes. It was weird to do this in public, especially in Mobius, but Sonic didn't care. In this current moment, he was happy and didn't have to deal with everyone coming after him.

It was now around 6 pm and Chuck told Sonic he needed to park the bus at the school he worked at. "Will anyone be around?" asked Sonic. "All of the kids and teachers should be home by now. Also, the night shift doesn't start until 7 pm, so we should be fine." said Chuck. "Good. I don't need someone chasing after me again." said Sonic. Chuck drove the bus into the school parking lot and parked in the bus section. He quickly took a look around the immediate area, in order to make sure no one can him or Sonic. Once he checked, he said, "Coast is clear. You can have a ride in my car and I'll let you stay at my house. I'll even set up a room for you. Are you okay with that?" Sonic didn't know how to respond, because it was the first time someone has tried to help him, since he arrived on Earth. Everyone else wanted to capture him or look at him funny. Sonic was grateful that someone would be willing to sacrifice their peaceful life in order to help him. "Yeah, I can do that." said Sonic. "Fantastic. Now let's get to my car and drive home." said Chuck. The two got into Chuck's car and drove off.
