It was midnight. Sonic ant Tails were sleeping next to each other, and Amy and Cream were afar. Knuckles was at Angel Island, and everything had been pretty peaceful in Mobius. Everybody else had fallen asleep... except Tails. He was lying on his back, with his hands under his head staring at the stars, silently. He looked at Sonic and whispered,
"Hey, Sonic?" Sonic didn't move. "Sonic...", Tails said nudging him. Sonic sighed.
"What is it, Tails?" Tails paused and said,
"If you could have one wish in the WHOLE world, what would it be?"
Sonic thought about it and said, "I really don't know..."
"I think I would like to see my parents. Just to be with them one more time, and see what they're like. Ya know?"
"Yeah, I know why you would want that."
"I mean, Just knowing that they're out there... somewhere... I- I just wish... I don't know what I wish."
"I know, Tails. Hey, you should try to go to–"
"Gasp Look, Sonic! A shooting star! Quick, make a wish!"
Tails said, closing his eyes as a speeding dot skated across the sky. He started making a wish, when he suddenly heard Sonic gasp and say,
"TAILS! LOOKOUT!"
"Huh?"
Sonic tackled him from the side, pushing him out of the way, and Tails opened his eyes to see Sonic quickly grab Cream and Amy and put them next to Tails. Suddenly, a large missile crash landed right where Sonic and Tails had been sleeping.
"S-s-sonic? What happened?" Tails asked.
Amy and Cream were stunned and Sonic caught his breath to say,
"Sorry, bro. But your "shooting star" was really a missile."
"Hey yawn Sonic? What's going on?" Amy asked.
"Somebody launched a missile at us. If Tails didn't wake me, I never would've even known it was coming!"
Tails looked down, disappointed that he hadn't actually seen a shooting star, and Cream went to the missile.
"Tails, can you look at something for me?" She asked, politely.
He nodded and went to her and the smoking missile.
"What type of missile is this?" She asked. He looked.
"Doesn't it pretty much explain itself?"
"Huh?"
"Look."
She looked and saw that he was pointing to a symbol of Eggman, revealed in the smoke... along with a bomb timer counting down. Tails quickly disabled it, and sighed.
"There. The bomb's disabled."
"Wait!"
Cream grabbed a piece of paper that was ejected from the bomb when Tails disabled it, and gave it to Amy. Amy read it aloud.
"Dear Sonic and friends...
Come to my lab if you want to see tomorrow.
Eggman"
Sonic took the note from Amy and re-read it.
"Aww, it's too early for this! Why can't he just leave us alone?!"
"I dunno, but... now we gotta stop him again." Tails groaned
Sonic lay down and said, "In the morning. I don't wanna go right now."
"But Sonic! We gotta go!" Amy said
"I wanna wait. What do you say, Tails?" Tails shrugged
"Oh, how mature... you know Tails will side with you!!!" Amy said
"C'mon Tails... you know you wanna sleep..."
Sonic said ignoring Amy and patting the ground. Tails Yawned and said,
"Come on Sonic. Amy has a point. Lets go."
Sonic looked shocked. Then laughed a little bit saying, "Funny, Tails."
"I'm serious. Lets go, guys."
"But it's midnight!" Cream said.
"Hey, who's side are you on?!" Amy yelled
"Well, we've hardly gotten any sleep, Amy. Mr. Sonic has a point."
Amy looked at everybody and said, "Sonic..."
"You know what? Lets take a vote. Who wants to stay?" Sonic asked
Sonic and Cream raised their hands, and Amy rolled her eyes.
"Now who wants to go?"
Amy raised her hand, though she knew she was defeated.
"Then its settled. We leave tomorrow." Sonic said.
"Wait, Tails didn't vote!" Cream yelled.
Everybody looked and saw Tails on the floor sleeping.
"Well... he voted." Sonic said.
Amy rolled her eyes, and lay down saying,
"I never thought I'd see you voluntarily go to sleep, Sonic." He shrugged.
"I'm just not in an Eggman fighting mood, right now."
"Are you ever?" Sonic paused.
"It's just... If we went, I knew Tails would fall asleep or something because he stayed up all night looking at stars last night and wishing for his parents. So I know he didn't sleep. And that fact alone would slow us down, and I'd probably get annoyed and/or lose my sanity. That fact that nobody really got enough sleep last night, just made me more firm on the decision that I did not want to go, more. Therefore we are staying 'till sunrise. I'm waking at the crack of dawn, and whoever wants to come will wake with me, because I'm not slowing down for anybody. So if you're going to try to outrun me tomorrow, I recommend you do the smart thing, and quit questioning me, and get some sleep."
