It was a beautiful summer day in Station Square and the Thorndike Manor. A certain 2-tailed blue fox seems to enjoyed the weather too. Wally was sitting in the chair watching a certain young rabbit dance with her Chao friend. His cousin, Tails was also taking a break from his lab work.

Suddenly, black and red hedgehog walked up to the 2 cousins. He was wearing a blue t-shirt with a emerald in the middle of it, red shorts and his regular shoes. He was Shades the hedgehog (Sonic Eggs). "Hey guys!" He greeted them. "Hey, Shades!" The 2 fox cousins greeted back.

"Hello, Mister Shades." Cream said after the show. Shades looked at the llittle with a smile on his face. He waved at her and said 'hello' to her back. Then, a certain blue blur ran by the 4 friends. "Hey, Sonic!" Wally yelled at the hedgehog. Sonic stopped and ran back to the living room.

"Hey, Wally, Tails, Cream, Shades." The blue hedgehog greeted. "What's up?" Wally asked. "I heard they spotted a Chaos Emerald some where near the mountains." Sonic responded. A pink hedgehog came in the living room with a tall cream-colored female rabbit. No more than the age of 26 years old. They just got back from shopping groceries for tonight's dinner.

"Hey, Amy. Hey, Vanilla." Shades greeted. "Hey, Shades!" Amy greeted with excitement. Vanilla responded with a little nod and left the living room. "Gee. Is there something wrong with her." Shades asked. The others shrugged and shook their heads.

Vanilla walked in her room and sat down on her bed. She had tears forming in her eyes. She was startled by a knock on the door. "Come in." She said. The door opened and it revealed her daughter, Cream and her 5 friends. They saw that she was about to cry. "What's wrong, mommy?" Cream asked with a concerned voice.

Vanilla gasped and wiped her tears from her eyes. "Oh. I'm fine, dears." Vanilla responded with a fake smile. Amy looked at Vanilla with a "I know that's not true" look. Vanilla saw Amy's look and lowered her head down with shame and looked at the friends with sad eyes.

Vanilla looked at the children and began telling them what's wrong with her. A few minutes later, the kids looked at Vanilla with wide eyes. "Why didn't you have friends, Vanilla? You coulda just told your older siblings." Amy suggested. Vanilla took a deep breath and sighed.

"Everyone liked my older siblings better than me." Vanilla said. "I hardly ever made friends much." Vanilla said with sadness. Everyone looked at Vanilla with sadness and left the room. A few hours later, Wally, Tails, and Shades were in the X-Tornado headed for the mountains to find a Chaos Emerald that Sonic was talking about.

They saw something shining and landed on the ridge of the mountain. "Hey, Tails! There's something shining!" Wally exclaimed. "Alright! Hold on! I'm going to land but it's going to be bumpy." Tails said. As soon as they landed on the mountain, the 3 friends got out of the plane and walked over to the shining object.

They found a emerald, but it was a different emerald. "Whoa! What is this emerald? Is it a Chaos Emerald?" Shades asked as he picked it up. "Not one I've never seen before." Tails responded. The emerald was rainbow color but, it sure was pretty, though. "Well, I say we should take this thing to Chuck! He would know what it is!" Wally exclaimed.

The other 2 nodded and were about to walked to the X-Tornado when the emerald started glowing. "Uhh... Guys? I think there's something wrong with the emeral." Shades said nervously. The 2 two-tailed fox cousins walked over to Shades and saw that the emerald was glowing even brighter.

"Shades! What did you do?!" Wally asked. "I don't know what happened! It just started glowing for some reason!" Shades responded. The light blinded the 3 friends and sucked them in. The emerald stopped glowing. Wally, Tails and Shades uncovered their eyes and checked their surroundings.

"What... What happened?" Tails asked. The 3 friends weren't in the mountains anymore. They were on the ground. But, Wally looked around and noticed something very familiar about the surroundings. "Uh... Tails? I don't think we're on Earth anymore." Wally said.

"What do you mean, Wally?" Tails asked his older cousin. "I think... We're back on Mobius! Tails, we're home!" Wally exclaimed. The 2 friends were jumping up and down excitedly like a child who finally got their birthday present. But, Tails stopped jumping.

"Wait. Why are here without the others?" Tails asked. Wally stopped jumping too and looked confused. "Hmm. You know...Your right, Tails. Somethings not right. Let's check out the scenery." Wally said. Tails and Shades nodded in agreement. So, they walked to the city and Wally was right, the city wasn't the same.

In fact, the city looked a lot different from what Tails and Wally grew up in. There were no robotic buildings, no robotic mobians, and no Eggman. Everything looked the same as it was before Robotnick came. "Whoa! Is it just me or does Mobotropolis looked a little younger, Tails?" Wally asked.

"Yeah! Everthing looks totally different!" Tails responded. "Why does it looked different to you both?" Shades asked. The both of them forgot that Shades was a clone version of Shadow and was created on Earth by Eggman. So, he doesn't know anything about Mobius at all.

"Newspapers!" The 3 friends looked at a dog mobian who was selling newspapers. They walked over to the dog. "Get your newspapers here!" The dog said. He saw the 3 mobians walking over to him. "Ah, boys! Would ya'll like to buy a newspaper fo 50 cents?" The dog asked.

"Oh, sorry, sir. But, none of us have any money. You see we just... got here?" Wally responded. The man just smiled. "Oh. So you 3 are new here in Mobotropolis?" The dog asked. The 3 friends looked at each other then back at the man and nodded "Well, then in that case, here. You can have a news paper for free! Enjoy!" The dog said.

Wally grabbed the paper and thanked the man. They walked over to a park and sat at an empty picnic table. "Uh... Wally? Look at these list of movies they got on here that were released in the theater right now! " Tails exclaimed. Wally grabbed the paper and looked at the movie selection. There were 3 movies he knew of.

The Golden Child, Karate Kid part 2, and An American Tail. He thought for a few minutes till he saw today's date. His eyes were as wide and round as frisbees. "Hey. You okay, Wally? You like you saw a ghost Pokemon." Shades asked the blue, 2-tailed fox. Wally looked at Tails with the same expression.

"I think we traveled through time, guys." Wally explained. "How do you know?" Tails asked. "I'm looking at today's date, Tails! June 17,1986!" Wally responded. Both Tails and Shades gasped at this. "Yikes! None of us exist in the 80's!" Tails exclaimed. While the 3 friends were freaking out about this, they didn't know a little figure walked up behind them.

The figure tapped Tails on the shoulder. It made him jumped up real high and he landed in Shades' arms. The 3 friends were looking at a young familiar figure. She was a cream colored lopped ear rabbit, with brown patch like marks around her eyes and the tips of her ears. She had brown hair in the middle of her head. She was no more than 5 or 6 years old.

She was wearing a purple shirt with a white flower in the middle of it, purple shorts, 2 purple bows on her ears, white socks and violet colored shoes with a glitter flower on each side of the shoe. She was looking at the 3 friends with a curious look on her face.

"Uh... Can we help you?" Wally asked. The girl smiled and shook her head. "Nothing. It's just... I've never seen you 3 around Mobotropolis before. Are ya'll new around here?" The young rabbit asked. The 3 friends nodded, lying about where their really from. "Yeah. We just got here." Shades responded.

"Oh. Well, my name's Vanilla! Vanilla Rabbit." The girl said. The 3 boys gasped. "Oh. Well... I'm Will, this is my cousin, Tod and this is our friend, Shawn." Wally use fake names. Tails and Shades looked at him with confused looks. "Well, it's very lovely to meet you 3. Hey! Would ya'll like to come to my house and play?" Vanilla asked. "Sure!" Shade said.

Wally grabbed Shades arm. "Heh, heh. Will you excuses the 3 of us for a few minutes, please?" Wally asked Vanilla. She nodded her head. Wally grabbed Shades and Tails and walked over to a tree that was a good distance away from Vanilla's hearing. "Are you both crazy?" Wally asked.

"No. But, why did you give us fake names for?" Tails asked. "I don't want Vanilla to know who we really are!" Wally responded. "Well. We should at least stay with her until we figure out how we can get back in our own time." Shades said. "Uhhg. Fine! But, we have to lie to her. We can't tell her she's a 26- year old mother and has a 6-year old daughter, okay?" Wally asked.

The 2 friends nodded in agreement. The 3 mobians walked back over to Vanilla, who was waiting patiently. She walked over to them and looked at them with her sweet innocent smile. "Okay. We'll go with you to your house." Wally said. "YAY! I have new friends to play with! Come on, let's go, Mister Will!" Vanilla said as she grabbed Wally's hand and ran.

Tails and Shades ran after them. *Mister?* Wally thought to himself. *Oh boy! What did I get myself into?*
