Pancakes in Michigan
"Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!" was the chanting the girls woke up to. The car was pulled over in an iRun parking lot, with both doors open wide and the guys standing outside the driver's window.
"Ughhhh…" Amy groaned, groggily opening her eyes.
"Turn the lights off!" Cream shouted, covering her head with a pillow. Sunny hopped out of the driver's seat and poked her head in the back where the girls lay.
"Do you guys mind if we all eat at iRun? It will be super duper looper fast!" she said with a full amount of energy. The girls all groaned.
"…They're saying their just dying to go!" Sonic said, helping out the confused Sunny. She smiled waved her arms in a 'come on!' motion, and the guys followed leaving the girls still half asleep in the car. Knuckles walked back and picked up Amy, Rouge, and Cream by their waists and hung them over his shoulders, carrying them in.
Sunny walked inside and quickly got them a table. The girls were placed carefully in chairs, only to have their heads all crash on the table, Amy's landing on a box of crayons. The girl looked very out of order: hair un-brushed and frizzled, pajamas on, and a tired expression present upon each of their faces. A perky college girl came up as their waiter. She looked very similar to Sunny in the "too cute to be a teen" way.
"Hi I'm Jessi and I'll be your like waiter today!" the girl smiled.
"Yeah I'll have the bacon…actually, five platefuls of bacon" Knuckles said. The waiter looked at him funny, probably wondering why he ordered nothing but sides. She then scribbled it down.
"I'll have the pancakes…the one with the smiley face?"
"I will have the crepes"
"Ughhh…." The three tired girls said.
"Umm…?"
"Chocolate chip pancakes for all of them!" Sunny hopped in. The girl quickly dashed off to place the order.
"Wakey wakey eggs and bakey!" Sonic whispered. Cream covered her head with the menu.
The guys all lounged back in their seats. "Tails, I dare you to go sit in that fat lady's lap!" Sonic encouraged. At the start of this road trip, Sonic vowed that he would make Tails break away from his cautious and careful shell, and this was the first step.
"Do it! And yell 'momma I found you!'" Knuckles added. After some protesting he finally succumbed.
"Momma! MOMMA!" he yelled, running across the room "I FOUND YOU MOMMA!" With that, he jumped on top of her lap and hugged her.
"GET THIS FROG OFF ME! GET THIS FROG OFF ME!" she yelled frantically as she moved her arms and legs around in a spastic manner. She tumbled off her seat and fell flat on the floor. Her equally fat husband jumped out of his seat and threw pancakes at Tails, who scrambled to get away. He didn't get away in time and was grabbed on the tails by the manager, who promptly threw him out.
"Oh my god dude we got him thrown out!" Knuckles laughed.
"Hahahahaha! Look at him at the window!" Sonic laughed as he tapped the glass that Tails was pressing his nose against. He was satisfied that Tails had finally done something exciting and risky. "Sorry buddy!" Sonic wiped a tear from his eye. Sunny was not present for this as she was chatting with the perky waiter. The girls were too tired to take notice.
Finally their food came. Tails looked on hungrily from the window as Sonic devoured his happy face pancake. The girls were now more awake, and were picking at their pancakes.
"Knuckles, are you going to tell us where we are now?" Rouge asked. He smiled evilly.
"You'll never know!"
As Rouge sat there in discontent, an old waitress came up to them to hand them the check.
"I got this" Knuckles said, forking over about thirty-two fifty. Just as the old lady hobbled away, Rouge stopped her.
"Excuse me, ma'am, where are we?" she asked politely.
"In the iRun Route 70 you can't miss it"
Rouge rolled her eyes. "No, what state."
"Oh, well missy, you are in the great state of Michigan!" she responded.
"Oh my god we are in Michigan!" Rouge asked Knuckles.
"Yeah, but I'm not telling you all why!" he crossed his arms. "We're already pretty close to our destination"
"Oh I hope we go to one of the Great Lakes!" Amy chimed in.
"Plus we'll get to see all of you guys in bikinis" Sonic smiled. The girls brushed this off. As they all finished they walked outside to see Tails had disappeared.
"Tails! Tails!" they all yelled.
"Okay where is that fox?" Amy asked worriedly.
"Over here!" Knuckles called as he looked over a dumpster. What they saw amazed them.
"Tails! You should know better than that!" Rouge yelled. The guys cheered.
"Go go go!" they chanted.
"Get some, oh yeah that's tasty!"
"Ewwww!" the girls said, looking away.
"Oh Tails…how could you" Cream sighed.
"Can I get some when you are done?" Knuckles said.
"Look at him go! Look at that speed!" Sonic said with admiration.
"Go! C'mon faster!" Knuckles cheered. They sat and watching the spectacular sight.
The hobo chugged the Chinese noodles. (haha, I bet some of you were thinking something else! Shame on you!) As he finished, he let out a mean burp, then started choking. He rolled all over the ground, and then coughed up a piece of little corn.
"How do they get the corn so small?" the hobo asked, picking up the corn and eating it.
"Ew Tails, why are you hanging out with this dirty hobo?" Amy asked. Tails shrugged.
"He had food, I was hungry!"
"Hey who you callin' dirty! I took a sink bath right in this iRun today!" the hobo said.
"Gross, lets leave." Rouge said, looking at the restaraunt they had just eaten at. If they let a hobo bathe in their sinks, what else went on in there? The hobo cried out.
"Take me with you! I mean look at ME! I am a HOBO! I shave with tampons!" he sobbed.
"I don't think that is possible" Sonic pondered.
"Okay here's one hundred dollars go buy yourself a toilet" Knuckles sighed.
"BLESS YOU!" he said, falling at Knuckle's knees.
"Okay I'm scared out of my craps lets go" Sonic said. The gang all piled up in the car, where Sunny was eagerly awaiting to drive. Before she got up in the driver's seat, she walked to the back and sprayed them all with air freshener.
"You guys were super nice to that trash man!" she said, hugging them all.
"Let me go!" Rouge said.
"Never let me go…" Knuckles said. They all regained composure and headed off to the Great Lakes.
