Narrator: Tikal is off doing very important Tikal things. Come back later.

(Tikal and Maria box up and go home, ending their adventure for the day.)

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

We should probably go before I have to learn about the Sonic the Comic Online continuity. [Signals to the waitress] Check please.

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

[Tikal pulls up a panel from the comic on her phone and shows it to Doctor Zachary and Maria] Doctor Zachary: "Never mind. I'm not alive anymore!" [Fades into oblivion] "AAAUGH!"

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Doctor Zachary: "I'm a major recurring antagonist from the Fleetway comics. I'm here to execute my newest evil plan involving--" Tikal: "Excuse me, but didn't you fall into a fissure and die?" Doctor Zachary: "Did I?"

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Tikal: "Wow, is it that time already? We better wrap up and get you home. I wonder if you have homework..." [A white echidna appears] "She sure does!" Tikal: "Doctor Zachary?! What are you doing here?!" Doctor Zachary: "AhahaHAAA!"

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Yeah, Shadow means the world to you, Maria. I hope you know that.

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Tikal: ... [Stuttering because she's never heard of a gatcha pon] [The performers in Chao costumes begin singing the 1946 R&B song "There Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens"] Tikal: Oh, I think Shadow had a rendition of this song on his device.

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Tikal: Sure thing. Oh, I think here comes our waitress right now. Waitress: May I take your order? (The two order, and the waitress leaves. The two begin to watch & enjoy the entertainment.)

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Tikal: "Yes, I should have enough for the Shadow Chao ice cream cake. Is that something you'd like?"

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I just took a shot in the dark! I guess we’re off to the VIP area… (Tikal and Maria are now seated at one of the VIP tables) This is a swell seat, don’t you think so, Maria?

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Tikal: The game is on. [Thinking back to her 144 gross from the night she egged Eggman’s base] 20,736. [Alarm goes off] Cashier: [Drops her hat a minute in surprise] Holy—that’s actually correct! That’s 100% correct. That’s the exact number.

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Tikal: I’ll say. This place looks really cool, and you know I love Chao. Cashier: Welcome to our store. Just the two of you. Tikal: Yes. Cashier: Would you care to guess how many candies we have in the barrel behind me? If you’re right, you get in the VIP area for no additional charge.

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Yes, I should have enough. (Some time passes, and the two arrive at the Chao Restaurant, and the two enter.)

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Is that where you want your milkshake from?

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Tikal: "Let me turn on the radio for us." [Does so] Political commentators: <Arguing about something> Look! Would you let me finish? I'm just saying Sonic should kill Eggman and be done with it. Tikal: [Turns off the radio in a nervous haste] "Actually, let's not."

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

That's a shame. You know, I'm a bit of a living historical record myself. I am from 3,000 years ago. [Stops and realizes something] ... Don't call me old, please.

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

That's really mean... [Directs Maria to the car] Come on, I'll get you a nice milkshake, my treat! [45 minutes of traffic begins] So what did you learn in social studies today?

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Yes, I was. I lost the deposit, and the clerk was a little surprised at the damage to the undercarriage, but overall, I think I'm okay. Narrator: Tikal does not know what a credit score is, or how she keeps renting cars without one.

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

No, I got a rental car over there. Another rental car. This one's a little more modest. I rented that other one for a quick getaway.

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Narrator: Tikal is picking Maria @parodymaria.bsky.social from school in a(nother) rental car. (Also, it's 3pm somewhere. Shut up!) Tikal: "Wow, there's a lot of traffic. Is this why there's so much pollution?" [Tikal holds up a sign that says "Maria" because "Robotnik" would probably cause alarm]

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Well, you saw it first here, folks. This has been… whatever it is I just commentated over… (Wow, I’m bad at this!) Good night!

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

[Tikal is joined by Maria @parodymaria.bsky.social trophy in hand and Ami Bandicoot who is holding the bottle of champagne because Tikal isn’t asking a 12-year-old to handle alcohol] Surge the Tenrec, I hereby declare you the winner of this highly dangerous race! What are you going to do now?

140

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Sports fans, Sonic, Jet, and Surge have entered a three way tie. We will now go to the photo finish to determine the winner! [Looks at the photo] What’s this? [Gets excited] No way! Oh, that’s so funny! [Turns the photo around revealing Surge stuck her tongue out] Surge won by a tongue!

//Back to the Future Part 2 reference appreciated, but personally, I think Back to the Future should’ve been a oner.

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Jet is catching up to Sonic, and Surge is—Oh, my god! … This is incredible! Are you seeing this? bsky.app/profile/surg...

220

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Oh, my [[HEAVENS]], this is gonna be close! This might be a photo finish!

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

No, I didn’t cry when Honey got eliminated. Shut up! She’s a beautiful strong woman!

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Sonic is currently in the lead, followed by Surge in 2nd, but Nicky the other Sonic is catching up in 3rd. It could still be anyone’s race!

130

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Oh, are we back live? Welcome back, sports fans. We were having technical difficulties. (Sorry, guys, I gotta excited when did a thing and spilled decaf coffee everywhere.)

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

[Remembers Tikal is already back on the sportscasting channel] Never mind! I’m not here right now. [Tikal fades into oblivion and was never here]

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Rouge does look good in the racing outfit though!

140

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Oh, I think Honey the Cat is trying something again! I’m so excited!

020

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

[Commercials end, and the camera cuts to Tikal] [Tikal strikes some Mettaton EX level poses and concludes with the Sonic Adventure 1 pose] Welcome back, sports fans. We’ve just made it to the Empire City potion of the race!

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

bsky.app/profile/surg... Oh, good one, Surge! … [Looks off to the side] Why are you signalling cut? What does that joke mean again? [Back to audience] Okay, we’re gonna go to commercial. We’ll be right back.

030

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Did I say “Jet the Hack”? I am sorry. That insult was not intentional. I would never!

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Now in first is Wave the Swallow, followed by Storm the Albatross, followed by Jet the Hack, and then Surge. Wow, I thought Sonic would be doing better than this. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in 5th place. bsky.app/profile/lege...

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

These birds are pissing me off. I’m the ORIGINAL STARWALKER. (It’s cooler when they say it.)

110

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Woah, Storm just… totaled that SUV. I hope that family of four is okay. Am I allowed to make a prayer on TV, or is it like public schools?

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Turkey-boy, that Surge is real funny! We should do a double date with her polycule someti—[Clears throat] I mean, this is getting intense! I’m at the edge of my seat!

230

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Oh, wow, everyone’s making their way through some high speed traffic. I hope nobody chokes and breaks every bone in their body like my friend’s cousin from the village that one time. (That was before hospitals were invented!)

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I believe that qualifies as “ill.”

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Surge has done some sweet maneuvers from that movie Backdraft (a movie I haven’t seen). She’s out in the lead now!

120

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Honey has unfortunately lost her grip, and I was really excited to root for her!

130

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

In a stunning turn of events, Honey the Cat has not only caught up to Jet but has grabbed onto him with her claws. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to hold a stray cat, but let me tell you, those claws can be sharp!

130

Tikal @tikaltheechidna.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

We’re onto the Radical Highway portion of the race! Gosh, I love it when Shadow races down—[Pretends to cough to save face] I mean, Sonic can’t seem to pass Jet.
