Chapter 2: Present Day
~3rd POV~
Today we meet Tom Wachowski who is sitting In his car at the speed trap but his boredom is beginning to sink in. Next to him are two girls named Annalise and Erwina. “Come on… ONE car?” Tom asked, hoping that something would happen. “I still don't get how today of all days, no cars pass through here.” Anna said. “This. Is. Boring!” Erwina moped.. Tom had an idea and decided to play around with the radar gun. He intimated the sound of a car rushing by and moved the radar gun. This made the girls laugh. He does it again and again and again, then the radar gun hits his jaw. “Ooh!” Erwina groaned. “We're bored.” Tom said.
Then another police officer called Tom on the radio. “Tom, Anna, EC, you guys there?” Anna picked up the radio. “No, Wade. We're in the Bahamas.” She said sarcastically. “On a yacht. With Rihanna.” Tom said as well. EC snickered. Wade was excited. “OMG *clears throat* please send pics.” Wade said. “Oh wait, we're stuck in a speed trap of the day.” Tom said. Wade was confused, “Wait, how did you get to the speed trap from Barbados so fast?” He asked. “Wade. We're messing with you.” EC said. Then they noticed a turtle crossing the street so Tom used the radar gun on the turtle. “Hey buddy, where's the fire? Got kids living around here!” He joked. “Really?” Anna asked Tom cheekily. “Sorry.” Tom then apologized to Anna and then the turtle. Then out of nowhere the radar picked up a speed of 296, but there were no cars around. What they didn't see was a red hedgehog behind their car watching the radar gun and he held up a sign that said “296”.
~Anna's POV~
“That's weird.” I said as I fixed my glasses. Then I noticed that Tom and EC were confused as well. “What?” Tom asked as he checked it. “Maybe there's a glitch.” EC said. Then we heard a beep and we saw it was 300 mph. “Okay, the heat has to be messing with us now.” I said. We didn't know that a red hedgehog with blue clothing shows a blue hedgehog a 300 mph sign and they high five each other. I scratched my head in confusion. Then Tom went out and walked around to check. Then he sees something in the grass. He picked up what seemed to be a blue quill and some kind of bracelet. Tom picked them both up. He was extremely confused. Then we got another call from Wade. “Guys we need you on main street there's a violent gang shoot-out.” I rolled my eyes. “Wade.” EC said in annoyance. “Just kidding, a duck stole a bagel, But they do need it back.” Wade admitted. We drove back to town.
~DJ’s POV~
The turtle is about to get hit by a car coming the opposite way but I got the turtle to safety. And Sonic looks at me and then the turtle. “Whoa, buddy! You almost got yourself killed out there! What are you, some kind of adrenaline junkie?” Sonic asked as I looked around on the ground frantically looking for something. “Must be boring being slow. I'll tell you what, today is your lucky day.” He told the turtle. “Where is it? Where is it?!” I panicked. Sonic could see I was losing it. “You ok bro?” He asked me. “No, I can't find my autism support bracelet.” Sonic Knew that meant a lot to me and it's also throwing my OCD into overdrive. So after making the turtle feel fast. He came back to help me look. “I can't believe I lost it!” I said. Sonic hugged me “it'll be OK bro I'm sure it'll turn up sooner or later.” He told me “thanks bro” I replied but deep down, we both knew that I would feel empty without it. We went to our cave. So what were you expecting? Two dirty little hedgehogs eating berries and struggling to survive? Think again. Because we are living the best life on Earth. We've got a library, a home gym, and a state-of-the-art security system.
Sonic waves the nunchucks around until he hits himself. He then plays ping-pong with me, having fun until he hits Longclaw's Ring satchel, spilling several Rings as well as a piece of paper on the ground. But I'm so lost, I started singing, breaking the habit by linkin park. “Oh no!” Sonic said, cutting me off as we cleaned up the rings. And if we're ever discovered, we'll follow Longclaw's instructions and use our Rings to escape to a new planet. Sonic holds up a Ring to the map against Earth on the map. He then hovers it over another planet, represented by mushrooms. A nice, safe world filled only with mushrooms. Sonic tosses the ring and it opens up a portal to the Mushroom Planet, where thousands of mushrooms large and small grow like forests Gross, smelly mushrooms. We looked at the map, we didn't want to go to the mushroom planet. “ugh, we hate mushrooms.” Sonic said.
~Sonic's POV~
But let's not worry about all that! This is Green Hills, the greatest place on earth. These are our people. And dare I say, we're their loveable space creatures. So what if they don't know we exist? Our favorite people are the Donut Lord and his little friend, Ice Cream Kitty Princess, protectors of this town and defender of all creatures, big and small. And before you ask, Ice Cream Kitty Princess is a girl who loves eating ice cream and playing with cats. Donut Lord and Ice Cream Kitty Princess live with Pretzel Lady and Pixel-Kitty Lover. They're super nice to animals and strangely were born without bones along with Ice Cream Kitty Princess. And I tried to secretly copy them, but it wasn't easy. “Ow, ow, ow!” I muttered as DJ watched. “How are they able to do that?!” DJ asked me. “I wish I could answer but not in this condition!” I said. There is one person in town who's actually onto us. He calls me and DJ the Blue and Red Devils! An old man shows Donut Lord a drawing resembling what was supposed to be DJ and I. “I almost got them last night!” The man said to Donut Lord. Say hello to Crazy Carl. He tries everything to catch me and DJ. We have fun together. In fact, just last night, he tried to use… get this, bear traps! What an amateur! DJ usually stays hidden like I mentioned earlier and I'm too fast for those traps. Crazy Carl ends up getting caught in one of his own traps and is now hanging upside down from a tree! “I know you're out there! And I know you're both real!” Crazy Carl shouted. “No we're not!” I said really far away. Later, we were watching a movie for movie night and I crossed my fingers whispering please over and over. DJ occasionally appears to movie nights, depending on what it is. “Yes! DJ! Its Speed!” I told him. “Go have fun watching it without me.” He replied. My smile fell. I had forgotten he was still sad about losing his Autism support bracelet. I also forgot that DJ likes certain things so if he's not interested he doesn't come. So I watched the movie from afar. “Yes! Keanu, you're a national treasure.” I heard this line “pop quiz hotshot, there's a bomb on the bus” I loved the line so much, I repeated it, “pop quiz hotshot. What a classic line” we're like a family, even though we haven't met yet. Later, DJ and I were back in our cave and I was pretending to be a psychiatrist, talking to DJ. Now usually I would do a fake German accent for this, but I knew DJ wouldn't be in the mood since he was still really sad about losing his bracelet, so I decided to talk normally. “What's this about bro?” He asked me. “Ever since we lost Longclaw, things haven't been exactly easy. So I figured we'd talk things out.” I said. He turned to me and said “Sonic, I know you're worried about me. But because of my autism, I'm ok with feeling lonely. Because I have no one who knows the struggles. But you're struggling more than me. I can see you looking at Donut Lord, wanting friends. But you're going stir crazy because you want to be a part of it, but feel like you can't because you're afraid of becoming alone, like what happened to Longclaw.” He told me. I took off my ‘glasses’ and realized he was right. I WAS scared of becoming alone forever.
