* / Prologue / *
/ Tails could never forget that horrible day when he had woken in that creepy hospital and Sonic had gone insane . . . He was not sure what exactly had happened to him . . . /
*Sonic is holding a gone and shoving Knuckles out of the way*
Sonic: "There you are, Miles Prower."
/ Knuckles and Tails had escaped and ran away. A lot of people got killed, while others went mysteriously missing, including a lot of old . . . "friends". Knuckles and Tails did survive, however. /
/ During the "incident", Knuckles and Tails did go back to angel island . . . /
Knuckles: "Tails . . . this place seems like it's dying or something . . ."
/ However, the Master Emerald had clearly vanished. /
Knuckles: "It's gone, Tails! Let's just go . . . the world will probably be destroyed or something . . ."
/ Once Sonic disappeared, Tails moved back into his old workshop and Knuckles lived in Sonic's old house /
*Knuckles is looking through a dresser drawer*
Knuckles: "I don't think I need these things . . ."
/ For nearly four years, Knuckles and Tails lived there without a sign of Sonic or any of the other characters. They never really left often or talked to anyone else. Tails even noticed something was very different about Knuckles. He was not the same as Tails originally remembered . . . /
* / Chapter 1: Food . . . / *
*Knuckles is picking off grapes from a vine*
Knuckles: "Blech!" / break / "These stupid grapes are sour!"
*Knuckles picks some blackberries*
Knuckles: "Blech! These stupid blackberries aren't ripe enough!"
*Knuckles walks over to a tree and shakes it until a chao fruit nut snort falls down*
Knuckles: "Blech! I don't like how these stupid things taste . . ."
*Knuckles walks past a tree that Tails happens to be sitting in*
Tails: "Hey, Knuckles! Happy twentieth birthday!"
Knuckles: "Yeah. Thanks."
*Tails jumps down*
Tails: "Ummm . . . You're welcome?"
Knuckles: "There's nothing to freaking eat around here."
Tails: "Why don't you go eat some ants! Haha, just kidding! I know you don't like them . . ."
Knuckles: "Yeah. Hilarious."
Tails: "Well . . . I found some rings and I figured for your birthday this year I could buy you something . . . we could also get some actual food . . ."
Knuckles: "Why would you waste your money on me? It's not like I was able to get you anything . . . Some food is all we really need . . ."
Tails: "If you say so . . . I understand you couldn't ever get me anything for my birthday . . . I mean, my other gifts weren't too great . . . but you do sort of take care of me . . ."
Knuckles: "Yeah. Whatever. Let's just go."
* / Chapter 2: Kissy Lips Cereal / *
*Tails is pointing at a corner store labeled CORNER S*
Tails: "Look, Knuckles! Here's a corner store!?
Knuckles: "Thanks. It's not like I couldn't see that. Now let's hurry up and get something before we die of starvation."
Tails: "O . . . kay . . ."
/ In the store /
*Tails is looking at a box of cookies*
Tails: "Ooh! Cookies!"
*Knuckles is looking at a jar of baby food across the aisle*
Knuckles: "Baby food?!"
*Knuckles turns around*
Knuckles: "What the heck?!"
Tails: "What?!" / break / "What the heck?!"
*A table advertising a new cereal named KISSY LIPS™ CEREAL is shown*
*Tails picks up a box and examines it*
Tails: "What in the world is this?"
Knuckles: "I don't think I want to know . . ." / break / "Wait a second . . ."
*in the corner of the box is a picture of Sonic with weird lips*
Knuckles: "Sonic made this?!"
Tails: "WHAT?! But . . . but . . ."
Knuckles: "And he has big lips . . ."
Tails: "How could he still be alive?!"
*A skunk (named Jeremy) is seen pointing at the cereal*
Jeremy: "Look, Mum! Look what Sonic made! Kissy Lips cereal!"
*Jeremy runs into Knuckles by accident*
Knuckles: "Huh?"
Jeremy: "Ow!" / break / ". . . Sorry . . . I . . . huh . . .?" / break / "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! IT'S KNUCKLES! I WISH I HAD LIPPIES!"
Knuckles: "What?"
*Sonic appears out of nowhere*
Sonic: "DID SOMEBODY SAY LIPPIES?! Buy Luigi's lippies here for only one ring!"
Knuckles: "SONIC!"
* / Chapter 3: Lippies / *
*The baby food smashes on the floor*
Sonic: ". . . Why were you holding a jar of baby food?"
Knuckles: "I don't know! Why do you have big lips?!"
Sonic: "They're my lippies! Like them?"
Knuckles: "Uuuhhhhh . . ."
Tails: "Um . . . Knuckles . . . can we-"
Sonic: "TAILS! My little bro! Are you okay? Knuckles didn't hurt you, did he?"
Knuckles: "Why would I hurt him?"
*Four characters, all with "lippies" are seen standing at the door - Moussy the Mastiff, Mwah the Raven, Spike the Porcupine and Amy Rose*
Moussy: "Sonic! We need to go!"
Mwah: "We called the soldiers!"
Sonic: "Good . . . good . . . See ya, Knucklehead!"
Knuckles: "Huh? What soldiers?"
*A hedgehog and a cat, [Flint] and Clyde, show up at the doors. The cat is holding a gun*
[Flint]: "There he is!"
Clyde: "Hurry before he gets away!"
Knuckles: "Huh?!"
Tails: "Knuckles!"
*Knuckles punches both [Flint] and Clyde*
Knuckles: "Leave us alone!"
[Flint]: "Ow!"
*Knuckles runs away from the store*
[Flint]: "Great! He ran off! C'mon, let's go!"
*Tails stands there as [Flint] and Clyde leave the store*
* / Chapter 4: Dr. Lee Thompson / *
*Tails lifts a watermelon onto the till*
Tails: "Ugh!"
*Behind the till is an old mole. He has no known name*
Mole: "Ooh! You must be Tails! That'll be 7 rings, please!"
Tails: "What the heck . . . where's my . . ."
*Tails grabs his shoe and dumps some rings onto his hand*
Tails: (Oh, right . . . I forgot I put them in my shoe . . . I don't have "fur pockets" anymore . . .) / break / (Hah! I kinda forgot about those "fur pockets" I had invented . . . It was funny to trip people out by pulling stuff out of my fur . . . but they disappeared when I woke up at that hospital . . . I lost some other stuff, too . . .)
Mole: "Thank you and have a delightful day! I hope this delectable watermelon tickles your fancy!"
Tails: "Ummm . . . Okaaaay . . ."
/ Back "home" /
Tails: "Knuckles!"
*Tails hands the watermelon over to Knuckles*
Knuckles: "Huh?!"
Tails: "Take this!"
Knuckles: "Wha-"
*Knuckles accidentally drops the watermelon on his foot*
"OW!"
*Knuckles grabs his leg and Tails watches as the watermelon flies and smashes against a tree*
Tails: "Oh."
Knuckles: "Great. All of that for nothing."
Tails: "Well, it's still edible . . ."
Knuckles: "Ugh. Whatever. I'm starving, and it's not like we can really go back . . . I'll just eat it anyway . . ."
Tails: "Hey Knuckles . . . did you notice that Amy Rose was there?"
Knuckles: "Amy Rose? I'm more worried about Sonic! What the heck's with the lips? Why is everyone acting like I'm evil?"
Tails: "Yeah . . . and the whole 'lippies' thing is actually kinda scary . . ." / break / "Speaking of creepy . . . what ever happened to Rouge? Did she die or something from Dr. Eggman's dumb machine? And you'd think she would be apart of 'Lippies' . . ."
*Knuckles and Tails stare at each other for a moment*
Knuckles: ". . . stupid . . . creepy . . . annoying . . ." *says this as he walks away*
Tails: "Okay . . ." / break / (I should go inside . . . I mean, it's probably safest since Sonic's back . . .) / break / (I guess I shouldn't have brought up Rouge . . . I know how much Knuckles hates her . . . but ever since that day Eggman had tried to kill us with the machine and Rouge suddenly disappeared, Knuckles gets really weird about the subject . . .)
*Tails notices a paper stuck in the door of his workshop*
Tails: "Huh?" / break / "This paper must have been blown here and got stuck . . ."
PAPER: LIPPIES! Sonic's back, and with him is Amy Rose, Moussy the [Mastiff], Mwah the Raven and Spike the Porcupine! With special help from Dr. Lee Thompson!
Tails: ". . . Dr. Lee Thompson . . .?"
*Tails has flashbacks to a bottle of acne cream which reads "ACNE CREAM by Dr. Lee Thompson" and the thoughts "Acne cream?!" and "Dr. Lee Thompson . . . something about that name just isn't right . . ."*
*Another memory is shown of Tails and Sonic talking to each other. Sonic says, "I think it was just an ad for . . . I dunno, lips?" and Tails responds, "Lips? You know, I don't feel so good anymore."*
*A third memory shows Tails and Knuckles talking, where Tails asks, "Doesn't the name 'Dr. Lee Thompson' bother you?" and Knuckles responds, "Kinda . . ."
Tails: "KNUCKLES! Something REALLY BAD is going on!"
