Mobius was looking finer than ever, as the sun painted a lovely image from Mystic Ruins to Soleanna to Station Square. It's inhabitants full of strange, anthropomorphic creatures known as mobians were going about their daily lives, protecting themselves from the occasional assault, threat or appearance of Dr Eggman. For one mobian however, she was having to deal with a barrage of the doctor's attacks from the provinces of the land they called home. This girl needn't worry as much, her introduction to the world's greatest savior, Sonic the Hedgehog was willing to stop any of Eggman's evil schemes of world domination. It was all too perfect how she became like this and how the doctor's constant asking of his plan seemed to backfire. She felt it was more comedic and relaxing as she worried not the temporary restoration of her true self. Sticks the Badger was heading back to Station Square from Mystic Ruins, not via train but on foot. She felt comfortable that way, seeing her fear of technology spark out of control nowadays as everyone on the planet has used it in some shape of form. Her mission was to see what Shadow was getting into, the badger always seemingly spying on Shadow in fear of betrayal. The black hedgehog was starting to get mildy irritated by the constant arrays of of her consciousness, but was interested about his past nonetheless. The badger raced into the city in a speed of Sonic's jogging, since the blue hedgehog was always the fastest one of the group, closely followed by Tails and Knuckles. It would take no time for her to arrive at some building next to Twinkle Park, since this building was across the street from the station and the badger arrived here on foot. It looked like a government building right next to the beach, something that didn't fit Sticks' criteria that well. She was curious though, thus the badger walking up to the building, thinking that Shadow might be in there. She reached the door at the end of the wide garage that acted as the entrance as she began to slowly turn the doorknob to see no one inside the main lobby. This wasn't where she was looking the ultimate life-form. Just as the badger was about to close the door, a strange voice was heard behind her. Sticks jumped with a shrill and rapidly turned her head 18 degrees to see Amy Rose standing there, none other than her best friend.
"Oh...Amy...".
"What are you doing inside this building?". Amy's words were concerning, but toned down for the badger to recognize she wasn't taking this seriously.
"Uhhh...I thought Shadow was inside of this for a second".
"Why would Shadow be inside? He's got duties to cover with G.U.N. Sticks, you're not trying to snoop in looking for him, are you?".
"What?! No! Why would I!". Sticks merely let out a slight chuckle from covering up the evidence.
Amy shook her head in disbelief.
"Come. I got something to show you". The pink hedgehog concluded as she exited the garage and out into the open. Sticks immediately followed her, a sign of their unbreakable best friends status. She always trusted Amy, even if she was chasing Sonic whenever she could. Sometimes she would take the hem as leader if the hedgehog wasn't bright and capable, but who was to say that Sticks was intelligent thanks to her constant paranoia. They took the road leading to the cul de sac that housed the Chaos fight many years ago and took to the burger store. There was something pretty interesting, so interesting that Amy wanted to show her many best friends, including Sticks of course. They opened the door and found a new addition, at least Sticks saw it for the first time. It was a jukebox containing the soundtrack of Sonic Mania Plus with Classic additions of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles along with Mighty and Ray slapped on the front cover of the CD. It was playing Stardust Speedyway Act 1 at the time the two friends came inside.
"This joint got sound now?". Sticks wondered as she took time to spot the jukebox nestled between two walls built specifically for the music machine. "Oh look!".
"It's a jukebox. It's purpose is to play some tunes inside the restaurant while you eat your meal. The manager recently called for another one to be placed inside the burger shop located in Soleanna considering how successful it's gained from the nearby citizens of the city".
"That's great, but why bring me here exactly?". The badger folded her arms.
"Because it has YOUR theme song in the Rio 2016 CD. I thought it'll be a good distraction to listen to your mixtape instead of chasing Shadow".
"Like you chasing Sonic was even better to begin with". She rolled her eyes at the hedgehog walking over to the jukebox. "I appreciate your efforts, Amy. But I remembered I have to do something outside of the city boundaries".
"Shame". Amy merely felt deflated after Sticks rushed out of the burger shop toward the edge of Station Square, not the way she came in though.
