Home Alone
(Ayla's POV)
*Later, back at home, Tom & Maddie were all packed to leave for Hawaii, where Rachel was getting married*
Tom:*off-screen* How excited are you to go to Hawaii with me, ah yeah?
*They entered the room to find me, Sonic, & Ozzy, wearing dark sunglasses. Sonic & Ozzy were also wearing black neck-ties. Sonic was also holding a clipboard & a spatula. He had even set up the couch like a metal detector, just like the ones you see in airports*
Sonic: Welcome to Sonic Air, the fastest way to travel. *I mouthed to them "He talked me into playing along with this". they both rolled their eyes* Now boarding groups one and two.
Maddie: Aww, Sonic! This is so fun!
*She stepped up to the "detector", but Sonic stopped her*
Sonic: I'm sorry ma'am, you're group three. Please wait your turn. Anyone from groups one and two?
Tom: Just let him get it out of his system.
Ayla: Otherwise, he'll complain all day.
Sonic: Okay, and everybody else? Right this way.
Maddie: Thank you.
*He pretended to scan her with the spatula, making beeping noises. Me & Maddie both laugh. Them she went through the "detector"*
Sonic: And you, sir? *he "scanned" Tom* Terrible shirt detected.
*I giggled again*
Tom: There we go.
Sonic: Okay, you're free to go. Enjoy your trip. Buh-bye now.
Tom: Okay. *he kneeled down & spread his arms* Bring it in.
*Sonic took off his sunglasses*
Sonic: Tom, I'm about to be the hedgehog of the house for the first time. I think I'm a little mature to hug you goodbye.
Ayla: I'm not.
*I hugged him & Maddie*
Maddie: Okay, what about a power bump?
*She kneeled down & held out her fist*
Tom: Power bump?
*He held out his fist*
Sonic: Yes! Power bump! That's more like it.
*The four of us did a three way fist-bump, then threw up our hands*
Tom, Maddie, Sonic, & Ayla: Wachowski!
Sonic: Okay, use this one to get back home.
*He handed Tom another Ring*
Tom: All right, we're off. *he & Maddie stepped into the Ring* Okay, be good!
Maddie: Yes, you have our number.
Sonic: Sorry, I can't hear you, you're traveling through a cross dimensional portal!
Ayla: Bye, guys!
Tom: Miss you already!
Maddie: Okay!
Sonic: Have fun at Rachel's wedding!
Ayla: Tell Jojo I said "hi!"
*The Ring closed*
Sonic: Okay, it's 48 hours until they come back. We've got TV channels, streaming channels, a house full of food, and no supervision.
*Ozzy barked*
Ayla: Uh . . . I think you're forgetting that Tom put me in charge while they're gone.
Sonic: Yeah. But there's a different between "sister supervision" and "adult supervision."
*I rolled my eyes*
Ayla: Just don't destroy the house.
Sonic: Hey, I'll clean up. Now then, *he put his sunglasses back on* let's do this.
*With that said, Sonic decided to throw his own private party. He jumped on the couch with food all over, dancing around with different hair styles, skateboarding in the house, jumping over a pyramid of dishes, buying food from the store using the Ring Portal, & turning the living room into a pool party, using the kiddi pool*
Ayla:*in her mind* So much for not destroying the house. I'll have to call in a few favors to get help cleaning up this mess.
*I decided to let Sonic get all of his energy out before I make that call. I did manage to stop from driving the lawn mower in the house*
(Third-Person POV)
*Meanwhile, outside of Green Hills, some leaves started to swirl in the wind. Suddenly, a Ring opened & an amber male fox with sky blue eyes, a white muzzle, & wearing white gloves & red & white sneakers & a yellow backpack came out of it. He looked at a device in his hand*
Tails: If these readings are accurate, they're here. I found them! I just hope I'm not too late. *with that said, he opened his two tails & used them to fly to Green Hills. he landed in a bush outside the police station* Hmm, they're close. I just need a way to reach them without being spotted. *he saw a police car outside the Mean Bean Coffee shop* Standard human transport. Perfect!
(Ayla's POV)
*An hour later, Sonic was still floating in the pool. Everything was covered in bubbles. That's when I decided to turn on the lights & turn off the music*
Sonic: Hey!
Ayla: Okay, big bro. Party's over. Now it's time for the after party.
Sonic: Which is?
*I took out a broom, a dustpan, a mop, & a vacuum*
Ayla: Clean up this mess!
*Suddenly, we heard a vibrating sound coming from under the bubbles. Sonic dove in to get his phone & came out with it*
Sonic: Uh oh. Eoohh boy . . .
Ayla: It's Tom, isn't it?
*Sonic didn't answer me as he quickly cleaned everything up, sat on the couch, & answered the phone*
Tom: Aloha! How's it going, bud?
Sonic: Oh, ya know. Just a quiet night at home, settling in with a good book. And you? Wazzup with you?
Tom: Oh! just called to say we're here. But now, every word in your mouth is making me suspicious.
Sonic: What!? You gotta relax buddy! You're at the Four Seasons Oahu. Have a Mai Tai! Enjoy some time with your wife! Get sunburned somewhere embarrassing! This weekend is about you.
Tom: Ya know what? You're right. We power bumped on it. So whatever it is you're doing, I'm sure you can undo it by the time we get home, yeah? With Ayla's help, of course.
Sonic: Exactly! I mean, I am deeply offended by such accusations!
*I laughed & decided to join in*
Ayla: Hey, Tom.
Tom: Hey, sweetie. How are you doing?
Ayla: Oh, fine. Just about to heat up the dinner you and Maddie left us. So, how's Rachel's fiance?
Sonic: Is he as good looking in person as he is in pictures?
Tom: Somehow, better looking.
Sonic: Wow! You're about to be the third best looking dude in the family! But hey, still on the podium!
Tom: Hahaha. All right, I better go introduce myself. And Ayla, keep your brother out of trouble.
Sonic: Trouble? Don't worry. Everything here is completely normal.
*Just then, Ozzy walked by, his back covered in shaving cream*
Tom: Uh-huh. G-night, guys.
Ayla: Goodnight. *he hung up & I decided to have some fun with my brother* You know. There's nothing really stopping me from telling Tom what's really happening here.
*I started to walk away*
Sonic: What!? *he got up & stopped me* Y - You can't! If he finds out, he'll never trust me again! He might even leave me with a *he shuddered* babysitter!
Ayla: Which will mostly likely be me.
*I pulled out my phone*
Sonic: Wait, wait! Okay, okay! If you don't tell him, I'll do your chores and wax your hoverboard for two, three weeks! *I put my finger on the screen* Okay, fine! A month!
*I paused*
Ayla: And clean my side of the room?
*Sonic groaned*
Sonic: Fine!
*I put my phone away*
Ayla: Okay, then. Let's go heat up that casserole.
*I went into the kitchen*
Sonic:*off-screen* Blech!
