Chapter 1- A new era
"This is the life." Amy Rose sighed, taking a sip of her cloudy lemonade. She pulled down her sunglasses, revealing her cheerful green eyes, so that she could see the sun setting in the pink sky. She was lying peacefully on the deck chair before Sonic snuck up behind her.
He lifted her up off the chair and carried her towards the pool.
"Aghh! Sonic! No! Put me down!" Amy cried, squirming in his arms.
He took her to the edge of the pool and threw her off the end of the diving board.
Sonic began to laugh uncontrollably.
"Just you wait, Sonic!" Amy cried, as she resurfaced the water. Sonic grinned at her. Amy splashed a huge wave of water over Sonic. He pulled a sour face before he attempted to fetch her out of the pool.
"You know, Knuckles. This is the last time we're all gonna be together like this for a while." Tails stated.
"Yeah, I know. I hate to say it but…I'm gonna miss all the excitement of the adventures we had." Knuckles replied, sipping his coke slowly. He leaned back against the wall as he watched Tails cook burgers on his barbeque.
"Tails, those burgers smell delicious." Cream stated as she walked over to them.
"Thanks, Cream. They should be d-" Tails was cut off.
"Woaaahh!" Sonic, who had a few seconds before; been leaning over the side of the diving board trying to grab onto Amy, screamed as he fell head first into the pool.
Knuckles ran over to the side of the pool and pulled Sonic out. Knuckles laughed.
"Idiot." He mumbled.
"What did you just say?" Sonic questioned. He stood up, putting his fists out and shaking the water off his fur.
"Oh, nothing." Knuckles smirked as he walked off towards Tails who had begun serving the burgers. "Man, I'm starving Tails!"
Knuckles took two burgers and sat down at the picnic bench.
Sonic grinned mischievously. He ran towards Knuckles and jumped in the air. As Knuckles was about to take a bite of his burger, Sonic grabbed it out of his hand.
"Hey, where did-" Knuckles paused and saw Sonic sitting on the wall with Knuckles' burger in his hand. "Grr! Sonic give that back, its mine!"
"Let me think about that…nah I'm too hungry!" Sonic shoved the whole burger in his mouth and grinned. He then stood up and ran away as fast as he could as Knuckles began to chase him. Amy, Cream and Tails laughed.
The next morning, Sonic woke up to see Tails packing his things.
"Oh, hey Sonic." Tails smiled.
"You weren't gonna leave without saying goodbye now, where you?" Sonic asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Nope, of course not." Tails replied.
"So where is everyone else?" Sonic asked, as he pushed himself up from the sofa.
"Amy went down the shops, Knuckles already left and so did Cream."
"Okay." Sonic replied. Tails zipped up his suitcase.
"Well…I'd better get going too." He stated, picking up his suitcase. He headed into the kitchen and grabbed the keys to the Tornado X. He turned back to Sonic.
"See you sometime soon." Tails murmured as he opened the door.
"Yeah, you too buddy." Sonic replied as Tails shut the door and walked into his new life.
