Alright, I'm back! For the next few chapters, I will be hanging out with each character, one for each chapter. That way, my own character will get to know them better. I will also put some more action and laughs too for your pleasure. Well, here we go.

Chapter 7: Sonic the Hedgehog

After me and Sonic kicked Eggman's butt (and Sonic dealing with an angry Amy Rose), we headed back to station square. It was getting late. I said goodbye to Sonic and headed back to Cream's house. When I got back to my room, I jump on the bed and put the blankets over me. I started drifting to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Things were settling down in station square the next morning. I got up, stretched my arms and went to the window to take in the beauty outside. I crossed my arms and started to think of what to do today. The first thing that pops into my head was that I owe Sonic a race. Well, today looks like a good day to start as any. This should be fun. I thought.

After a quick breakfast, I headed outside to take in the fresh air. The sun was shining brightly down on the city with the wind blowing softly and smoothly. I speed on through station square, trying to find a certain blue hedgehog. Finding him was not easy. For Sonic, being the fastest guy on the planet, he never stops running. I stopped at a nearby tree. I sat down; put my arms behind my head relaxed.

Man, Sonic is harder to find than I thought. I'll find him, eventually. Just then, a blue blur came speeding on through. It went right pass me. I smiled. Well, that was quick. I got up and ran after it.

I caught up with Sonic. We were neck and neck. Sonic looked at me and said "hey Austin, you running around too?"

"You could say that. I was looking for you."

Sonic stopped and so did I. "Really? What for?

"I still owe you a race, don't I? So what do you said, Sonic? You think you are up to the challenge?" I grinned.

Sonic grinned too. "Okay, Austin. Let's race!"

I stopped Sonic before he got all excited. "Hold on for a minute, Sonic. We need to figure out where to race through and were to reach the finish line."

Sonic crossed his arms and started to think. After a minute or two, he said "I got one. We'll speed through station square, heading outside and moving through the canyons. After that, we come back and race towards Twinkle Park. First one to get there wins!"

"I like the sound of that. Alright, Sonic. Let's do it!"

Me and Sonic ran at full speed through station square, dodging traffic and watching out for people. Me and Sonic were evenly matched. But, that wasn't going to stop me. As me and Sonic were heading outside station square, a blast came from behind us. It was Eggman flying another one of his creations. This one had a gun on one arm and a drill on the other. It also had wings, which meant that this robot could fly.

Sonic and I came to a halt as Eggman flew in front of us. "Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho! I was hoping when you two were going to show up. I have been waiting for you hedgehogs. So that I can crush you both! Hahahahahaha!"

Sonic and I just grinned. "Well, if it isn't baldly nosehair! I was wondering if you were going to show up again. You know, Sonic, I think that he should shave that mustache off him. It looks funny on him, not to mention, hairy. Don't you agree?" I said, turning to Sonic.

"Yeah, I agree. And maybe he should play nice every once in a while. If he did, we wouldn't have to break all of his toys."

"I agree with you on that. Still, people call him an evil genius. But, he can't bring down two hedgehogs, who so happens to be the fastest things alive and know how to kick robot butt. So, I think I will now call you Eggbutt, the evil loser genius!" I started to laugh. Sonic did too.

Eggman growled. "I have had it with your mockeries and jokes! I will crush you both once and for all! My new robot will see to that! Now, egg dragoon, Crush them!"

Egg dragoon fired at us. Me and Sonic ran past it and Eggman was in hot pursuit! Eggman continued to fire at us as me and Sonic dodged left and right to avoid the blasts.

"Man, Eggman isn't messing around this time!" Sonic said.

I looked at him. "Yeah, he really is mad at us for making fun of him! We better take him down if we want to finish our race!"

Sonic nodded. Suddenly, Eggman was in front of us. "Ha ha ha! How about this?" the Egg Dragoon raised his drill and slide it down on the ground. Sonic and I managed to jump just before it hit us. As we jumped, we both homed attacked on Eggman.

The attacks weakened the Egg Dragoon. Sparks came out of it as Eggman tried to maintain control of the robot. "You little….!"

The Egg dragoon flew behind us again. "That's it! It's time to put the freeze on you hedgehogs!" the Egg Dragoon fired again, this time the blast freeze parts of the ground with shards of ice on it. I and Sonic had to be careful not to get hit; otherwise Eggman will shatter us to pieces!

The Egg dragoon flew in front of us again. "All right, then! This time, I will crush you both!" he raised the drill again and this time, he attempted to jab Sonic with it! Sonic somehow saw this coming and he jumped just before it hit him. He landed on its arm and ran right towards Eggman. He launched another homing attack and with that, the Egg dragoon hit the ground with a loud thud.

I stopped beside Sonic just as the robot exploded, sending bits and pieces of it everything. Eggman flew out of the wreckage, looking angry and humiliated. "How could I lose again? This isn't over yet! I will be back and I will- Gaaaaahhhhhhh!" I hit Eggman's little ship with a homing attack before he finished. He went sky screaming unit he was out of site.

I landed back on the ground dusting myself off. "Yeah, we know and will beat you again and again."

Sonic ran beside me. "Nice hit, Austin. Now that Egghead is out of the way, wanna continue our race?"

I looked at him and smiled. "Yeah, let's finish the race, shall we?"

He nodded and we raced at full speed back to station square.

After we got back in station square, we headed for Twinkle Park. We were neck and neck as we neared the entrance. It was close. Very close. We both got there at the same time. We decided that it was a tie.

"It really doesn't matter who wins or loses. It's how we play the game. Besides, that was a good race! Thanks for that, Austin!"

We jumped and gave each other a high five. "No problem, Sonic. That was accelerating! I enjoyed racing with you." Just then, my stomach growled loudly. Sonic's did too. We both laughed, embarrassed. "Oops, I never did notice how hungry I was. Hey Sonic, you up for some chilidogs?"

Sonic smiled. "Chilidogs? All right, let's get going!" Sonic and I ran toward the nearest chilidog stand. Sonic and I sat down, slowly eating and enjoying our chilidogs. "Man, this is delicious! I love chilidogs!" Sonic said.

"So do I, Sonic. They're the best!"

After we ate, we headed back to Cream's house. "Thanks for the race, Austin. I had a blast! We should do this again sometime."

I grinned and looked at Sonic saying "yeah, we should. Well, I better get to bed. Goodnight, Sonic." I walked to Cream's house waving goodbye at the blue hedgehog.

"You too, Austin." He said and with that, he ran until he was out of site.

When I got back to my room, I lay on my bed and smiled. I had a blast today as well. It sure felt good racing with Sonic. I sure hope we can race again before Eggman unleashes whatever plot he has in store for us. I thought.

Well, that's it for now. Now then, I will let you, the reader, to decide which character I should hang out with next. Please leave a review with which character I should put in the next chapter. I will be with them all only once. Once I get to know more about the characters, I will proceed to the main plot of the story, where things will start to get interesting and dangerous. So please, leave a review, it helps me to move forward with this. So, until next time, my lovely readers catch you on the flipside!
