Chapter 19: The Infamous DNA Test

The two girls hugged one another, however Kristen backed away after taking a whiff of Alice's clothes.

"A-Alice...you smell awful!" Kristen stated, covering her nose. "Why are you working here anyway?"

"Ugh..I was cleaning puke." Alice replied. "And it's a long story..so what are you up to?"

"I'm looking for that Spines guy...my father has something important." the fox replied. "Do you know where he is?"

"Oh him, yeah he's in the kitchen." Alice replied. "YO SPINES, GET OVER HERE!"

The tall hedgehog ran to the front where the girls were. "What? I'm flipping burgers." he replied.

"Listen, this is Kristen from school. She needs you to come with her." Alice said, before turning to the frightened fox. "Don't be shy, he's actually really nice."

Kristen looked at the hedgehog, giving a small smile and a wave after staring. "H-Hi there.."

Spines as well stared at the girl, with a light blush on his face admiring the cute girl. "H-Hi…"

"Awww see, you two are connecting already!" Alice said. "Now Spines, you need to go with Kristen."

"O-Oh yes, please Mr. Spines, you must come with me to my father's workshop!"

"W-Wait what? First who's your father and why do I need to go with you? We just met." Spines asked.

"Because….King Sonic the Hedgehog is there waiting.." Kristen replied, which made Spines's eyes widened of the mention of that name.

"Dad's at the workshop?" Alice asked.

"Wait...why is he waiting for me?" Spines asked. "That bastard kicked me out his castle."

"Because...he wants closure...if you're his son." Kristen replied.

"He does huh...well then.."

"Well, you gotta go, Spines!" Alice proclaimed. "What do you have to lose?"

Spines sighed softly. "You're right...Alice, you'll have to take over in the kitchen." he said.

"WHAT?"

"Let's go, Kristen." Spines instructed.

The fox gave a short nod. "Right." she responded before leading the hedgehog out of the fast food restaurant.

"But I can't cook….I don't even pour my own bowls of cereal…" Alice thought.

Both Kristen and Spines ran out the town and into the fields away from the buildings that led to Tails's workshop. They traveled at great speeds, keeping consistency.

"So, what does your father do?" Spines asked.

"He's an inventor, he's creating a DNA machine." Kristen replied.

"Inventor huh…" Spines thought. The two arrived at Tails's workshop near the ocean. Kristen walked inside, leading Spines to Tails's main office where he worked.

"Daddy, I'm home!" Kristen called out. "And I brought Spines."

Both Sonic and Tails turned around and saw Kristen and Spines. As soon as Spines's and Sonic's eyes met, a staredown was happening. Spines gave a glare due to what Sonic said in their last encounter….Sonic immediately remembered the boy in a non pleasant way.

"Once the DNA test says he's the father...it'll finally make him realise that I am his son." Spines thought.

"Once the DNA test says that I'm not the father...it'll finally shut that kid up and we can all put this whole thing behind us.." Sonic thought.

"Great job, sweetie." Tails praised, rubbing her head before turning to the dark blue hedgehog. "So you must be Spines, I'm Tails, Kristen's father." he greeted, extending a hand.

"Nice to meet you, Sir." Spines replied, shaking Tails's hand.

"I'm surprise he's not afraid of me.." Spines thought.

"And I'm guessing you know Sonic." Tails said, making Spines glare at the king.

"Oh I do.." he muttured.

"So before we start, I'm..gonna need a sample from you…" Tails said, giving Spines a test tube bottle and cork.

"Oh, so do I just spit in it?" Spines asked.

"Er..not exactly...I need your sperm." Tails replied.

Spines blushed three shades of red, but focused on the goal to prove that he's Sonic's long lost son. "O-Ookay.." Spines muttured.

"You want Naughty Schoolgirls or Pinch Magazine?" Tails asked, offering two adult magazines.

"D-Daddy, you have those?!" Kristen yelled in embarrassment.

"Damn my mom would kill me if she found out I'm looking at these…" Spines thought.

"I guess...Naughty Schoolgirls…"

"Huh..maybe he is my son." Sonic thought.

"Bathroom's right over there." Tails pointed. Spines nodded and went into the bathroom...staying there for a while.

Later on, Tails had Kristen, Spines, and Sonic wait in a room while Tails worked on the DNA machine with both sperm samples from the respective parties. Silence filled the room as Spines refused to look at Sonic while Sonic couldn't care less. Kristen was worried for her new found friend, what if Sonic..wasn't the father.

Tails opened the door. 'You two ready?" he asked.

"Let's just get this over with." Sonic said.

"Yeah...let's.." Spines agreed. The two hedgehogs followed the fox into the room which showed a box like machine on the table, the DNA Analyzer.

"This is the DNA Analyzer. Both of the sperm samples are inside and scanned, so all I need to do if print the results." Tails explained.

"Well what are you waiting for, buddy?" Sonic asked.

"It's called building the suspense,Sonic." Tails deadpanned.

"You really should be more patient." Spines advised.

"..How can he be my son.." Sonic muttered.

"Calm down, Sonic. The results are in." the orange fox said as the machine printed a strip of paper.

Tails took a deep breath before reading. "Sonic…."

"You are the father…"
