Around the morning, Sonic dropped you off at your place to let you sleep since it was already eight. Just as you were exhausted from your nightly adventure, your mom burst into the room, announcing breakfast was ready. You just let out a loud groan over being exhausted.

Sonic P.O.V.

Last night was so fantastic! I was already exhausted after saving that guy's life from those robbers. I'm happy that Y/N joined me at this time of the hour, and I couldn't wait. We did great! After I dropped Y/N at her place, we returned home before Tom or Maddie noticed me missing. I crawled inside, and I followed suit as we creaked the floor, which I didn't like that sound. 

"You've got something under your shoe," Said Tom. 

I saw the money stolen at the robbery scene under my shoe. I quickly removed it and looked around before heading to my nightstand and opening the drawer to put it inside. As soon as I shut it, a piece of paper flew off, and I knew it was the map that LongClaw had given me before we separated our ways.

"I miss you, LongClaw," I whispered. I knew that I had remembered my promise to her. "I'm trying to make you proud." I place the paper on the nightstand along with my ring bag.

"Ugh, I'm so tired." I yawned. 

I headed to my bed feeling tired and ready to sleep to go into dreamland. I was in a  comfortable spot by spreading the blankets before curling into a ball. 

"And now, for a little shut-eye." I grabbed my covers to pull them close to me, and I dozed off. 

Or so I thought...

I was awakened by dog saliva and knew exactly who it was. Ozzy.

"Ugh, oh, Ozzy...morning breaths." I gagged. 

Slightly annoyed that our dog interrupted my slumber. Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching up the stairway, which was Maddie. 

"Sonic, are you still in bed?" Maddie asked, carrying a basket of laundry in her hands. "You suppose to meet Tom remember?" She said. 

I fell face on the floor, off my bed, still exhausted. 

"Alright, alright. I'm up!" I sighed. 

I'm so tired.

Y/N P.O.V.

"Y/N!" I jolted awake, knocking over my glass of orange juice on the table as I gasped, grabbing a bunch of paper towels to clean up my mess.

"Sorry, Mom!" I apologized.

She shook her head. "Why are you so tired? Did you stay up late? Video games? KPOP music again?" She asked.

I just slowly nodded. I didn't want to tell her I had a night out with my two friends. 

"Yeah,  you could say something like that," I replied. 

"Okay. Today, I have to run some errands, and I would like you to do a little task for me. Please prepare the pictures, review the mail pile, and do the dishes today.

"Sure," I said. 

"Great. That's all I need, and I'll be back." She grabbed her purse along with her car keys to head out. 

I sighed as I finished eating my dish to get started on the chores on my to-do list.

Sonic P.O.V.

Tom was waiting for me. We headed out to the lake, which was wide open, with no one to interrupt us, while we fished in the big open area. I was so exhausted that the boat was rocking from side to side, making me sleepier. I looked drowsier than usual since we'd been doing this for almost half a month after I started living with them. 

"Ah, what a day. Thanks for coming out, you two." Tom spoke up in a bright mood. "You know, we haven't spent much time together. How's it going over there? You got any bites?" He asked. I had fallen asleep with the fishing pole in his hands. 

"Sonic..." Tom calls out my name in a low whisper. 

I didn't wake up as I snored loudly, and Tom noticed. But that didn't stop when I was still asleep as his body leaned over the boat's edge, and I fell into the water. 

"AH! I can't swim! Help! I'm going to die! Don't look into my closet!" I screamed, waving my arms around, needing his help to get him back into the boat. 

I sat there dripping wet and shivering, holding myself as I grabbed a towel to wrap around my body and thanked him. 

A/N: Sonic, I need clarification. How can you NOT swim? But, in tv or games, you can run on water and occasionally swim, only if you have a floaty. (I can't swim either. I don't feel bad for him; just a little confused.)

"Take it easy," Tom spoke in a gentle tone. 

"You're good." As I held my grip on the towel, Tom said with a grin. "But, now that you had a nap and a bath. Last night, I went into your room to bring you some new comics and, um..." After what happened, Tom recalled back from last night, entering my room to see the "interesting" invention I made to stall him. 

Yeah, it didn't work on, not one bit.

"Ugh, I knew I should've used real farts," I muttered. 

Tom pulled out the newspaper before me, and my face went pale. He didn't look too happy about this either.

"How many times are we gonna do this?" He asked.

"What? Cast your line and not catch anything? Tsk seems like a million." I said in sarcasm. 

"I think you know what I'm talking about. Lying, sneaking out, and pretending to be Batman?" Tom asked. 

"Blue Justice and Trademark pending?" I quirked up at the male.

"Whatever, you're being reckless and dragging your new friend into something too dangerous." Tom lectured.

I rolled my eyes, groaning as I sighed. "Ugh, not this conversation again." I frowned.

"Hey, it's not for me either. But if you keep being irresponsible, we will keep having this conversation." Said, Tom. 

"How is it irresponsible to use my powers?" I asked. 

"Sonic, you destroyed an entire city block," Tom argued.

"That city block was already messed up. Who cares?" I pouted. "Look, I stopped a robbery with another friend that tagged along with me. We are heroes." 

"No, you put people in danger, and it's not what a hero does," Tom replied. 

I let out a huff turning away from Tom. "You suppose to be my friend. Stop trying to be my dad." He said. Tom looked down, knowing he seemed to act like a dad too hard on me. "I can take care of myself. I will never hurt my friends and family, especially Y/N." I took one glance back at Tom.

"Sonic, taking care of yourself is not what being a hero is all about. It's about taking responsibility for other people." Said Tom. "And right now, you are still kids whether you want to hear this." He continues, "You got some more growing up to do when your ready to be the big hero."

I sat there, letting those words sink into my head to listen to Tom. 

"And trust me when I tell you there will become a time when your powers will be needed." Said, Tom. "But you don't choose that moment. That moment chooses you."

"Woah, look at you! I-We just got goosebumps. Wait a minute...did you steal that from Oprah?" I asked, wearing a wide grin on my face as I snickered. 

"No, sir. That is a Wachowski family special. Take from our dad, in this same boat, and on this lake." Said, Tom. "He would always steer me up in the right direction. That's what Maddie and I always do with you." He faintly smiled. "So, until your moment arrives, I want you both to work on being more responsible. You comprinted of that?"

"Comprinted. High five on it!" Tom and I high-fived as I smiled. " Yeah! Donut Lord and Blue Blur are back at it again." I hop off the boat and into the water after removing the towel off my shoulders to be at the back of the ship. 

"Hang on! SPEED BOAT!" I started to kick my feet like we were riding on a speeding boat back to shore. 

"W-Woah! Sonic!" Tom screamed.

At Home

When we got home, Tom and Maddie were heading to Hawaii to visit her sister Rachel since she was getting married. I wasn't going because I was a bit insecure that everyone might judge me after the last meeting.

I was dressed up like I was giving them passports to get to Hawaii, including Ozzy. I eventually had the ring-opened and ready for them to head to Hawaii.

"Welcome to Sonic Air, the fastest way to travel. Down boarding groups one and two." Said Sonic.

"Awe, Sonic, this is so fun," Maddie said.

"Sorry, ma'am, your group three. Please wait your turn." As he asked for any openings, I looked around and stopped. 

"Let him get it out of his system," Tom muttered.

"Okay, nobody else? Right, this way." I began to scan them both as I looked at Tom's shirt. Was a "terrible shirt detected." "Okay, you're free to go. Enjoy your trip. Goodbye now." I said. 

Tom crouched down, saying, "Bring it in." He said, holding out his arms as Sonic looked at him with discomfort. 

"Tom, I will be the hedgehog in the house for the first time. I'm a little mature enough to hug you goodbye." I said. 

"Okay. What about a power bump?" Maddie asked. 

"Power bump?" Tom asked.

"Yes, power bump! That's more like it!" I boasted. 

We held out our fists, yelling out, "Wachowski!" I gave him a ring that he could use to get back home. 

"Alright, we're off. Be good." Tom said. 

"Yes, you have our number--" Maddie said.

"Sorry, we can't hear you. You are traveling through a dimensional portal." I pretended not to hear them when he wanted them to leave the house. They said their last goodbyes as the portal finally closed.

"Okay, get your 48 hours until they come back. We've got tv channels, streaming channels, a house full of food, and no supervision. Only one thing is missing...Y/N!" Sonic chimed.

Y/N P.O.V.

After sleeping seven hours doing absolutely nothing, I was refreshed until my cell phone buzzed. Sonic called me to ask if I was available to come over. He told me that no one was home with him. I agreed to go over, and Mom hasn't gotten back yet, and I am sure she doesn't mind. 

I changed into the clothes I wore and rode with my skateboard to their house.

Your outfit:

When I arrived, I knocked on the door to see a dog; I read the dog collar, and their name was Ozzy greeted me. Sonic was there waving at me as he let me inside.

"I'm glad you could make it. We've got the whole house to ourselves while Tom and Maddie are away at Rachel's wedding. Let's do this." Sonic grinned. 

Author's Note: Guys, I apologize for the late updates when. I had to do this rough final draft due to my professor, and I have been working on these chapters to get them straightened out.
