On the road again
0 reviewsMy head canon running joke of Manic’s questionable food choices continues here.

Manic tapped his fingers on the door panel, staring idly out the window as they drove by some forest. “So are we there yet?”
“No.” Shadow said. “Shut up back there. This is not a road trip and I wouldn’t mind dropping you off on the side of the road.”
Sonia, Sonic, and Maria laughed.
“Same goes for you, Sonic.” Shadow said. “Stop kicking my seat.”
“Sorry.” Sonic replied.
“I’m hungry.” Manic groaned.
“Hush, Manic.” Sonia said.
Shadow pulled into the parking lot of a gas station. “Okay, we can stretch our legs.” He said, parking the car. “Stay close and pay attention to your surroundings.”
Everyone agreed.

Shadow, Sonic, and Manic walked around the food counter as they waited on Sonia and Maria to get out of the bathroom.
Manic reached for a pack of sushi.
Shadow grabbed his arm. “No. You’re not eating that.” He said. “Are you crazy?”
“He falls off of his skateboard and lands on his head a lot.” Sonic said, picking up two packs of chili dogs.
“Get anything but sushi or salad.” Shadow said.
Sonia and Maria finally came out of the bathroom.
“No, Manic.” Sonia scolded. “If you eat gas station sushi again, I will personally throw you out of the car while it’s moving.”
“Again?” Shadow asked. “You need to get checked for brain damage, Manic.”
Manic grimaced as he got a slice of pizza and a canned vanilla coffee.

Shadow pulled the car back onto the road again, heading for Port Mobius.
Sonia snapped her fingers. “Sonic, did you get our phones out of the van?”
“Oh, yeah.” Sonic said. He unzipped his backpack and pulled out his phones. “Oh, no. Tails has tried to call me forty times. Sally called almost as much.”
Sonia pulled her phone out of her purse. “He called me too.”
“Me too.” Manic said, pulling his phone out of his backpack.
Sonic called Tails back.
“Sonic?” Tails asked. “Oh, thank God, you’re okay! Wait, is this Sonic?”
“Yeah, little bro.” Sonic replied. “We’re okay. We were kidnapped, but this guy named Shadow rescued us. We’re gonna see if there’s anyone else to rescue Port Mobius.”
“Sally and I will meet you there.” Tails said. “Be careful, bro.”
Sonic set his phone down. “He hung up. I guess he was so excited, he didn’t realize he didn’t say goodbye.”
Maria angled herself to face Sonic. “Can I please borrow your phone to call my grandfather?”
Sonic handed Maria his phone. “Sure.”
Maria called Gerald Robotnik.
“Hello?” Gerald asked.
“Grandfather, it’s me.” Maria replied. “Ivo has been kidnapping Mobians for some robot experiments and some other projects. He was gonna ship me off with three hedgehogs.”
“He did what?” Gerald asked. “Where are you?”
“Uh… where are we, Shadow?” Maria asked.
“Shadow?” Gerald asked. “Let me speak to him.”
Maria handed the phone to Shadow.
“So let me guess.” Shadow said, putting the phone on speaker. “You’re not wanting to thank me for rescuing them, you’ve got your hand in this, right?”
“You figured this out quickly.” Gerald replied. “But I will thank you for saving Maria. Ivo was warned not to do anything with her, even if she caught on.”
“How could you?!” Maria cried.
“You… well played, Shadow.” Gerald said. “Bring my granddaughter to Port Mobius and maybe I’ll let you live.”
Gerald hung up.
Shadow dropped the phone into the console.
“Please don’t make me go back to him.” Maria begged.
“I’m not.” Shadow replied. “We’re putting a stop to this.”
A laser blast cut through the back windshield, over Sonic’s head.
Sonic, Manic, and Maria ducked down.
Maria screamed.
Manic got Shadow’s gun out again while Sonia pulled her gun out of her purse.
Shadow noticed Sonia turning around. “You have a gun?”
Sonia shrugged. “For self defense.” She replied. She turned around in her seat and rolled the window down. “It didn’t do a lot of good a few nights ago though.”
Sonia and Manic fired at the robots that were chasing them.
“Okay, that’s not working.” Sonia said. “They’re bulletproof.”
“Aim for the censor in the center.” Shadow said.
Manic fired at the center “Got it!”
Sonia took out the last few robots. She turned around and settled back into her seat.
“We’ve got another hour until we reach Port Mobius.” Shadow said. “Maybe Gerald will make Ivo call his robots off since he knows you’re in the car, Maria.”
“No.” Shadow said. “Shut up back there. This is not a road trip and I wouldn’t mind dropping you off on the side of the road.”
Sonia, Sonic, and Maria laughed.
