A New Beginning

It had just been a few months after the Babylonian incident. Robotnik had finally given up trying to destroy Sonic and take over the world.

Shadow and Rouge had left him to become good citizens. He had no-one else to turn to, all the Metals had worn out and all his evil plans had been used, even plans X and Z.

The Babylonians, Jet, Storm and Wave, were now good friends with Sonic and the gang. Wave, Ivo and Tails sometimes held an event they called a 'Build-off'. Sonic and Jet would think of something for them to build, and the three had to try and make the best. As Shadow wasn't biased towards any of the three, he was picked to be judge.

Jet was teaching Sonic and Shadow tips on the Extreme Gear, while they showed him how to balance and move faster in a grind.

Storm and Knuckles liked to have little fights. Nothing serious, just little fights.

Rouge, Amy, Cream and Cheese, liked to go shopping most days. Amy said that Rouge could only go with Cream if she stopped wearing such 'suggestive' clothes. She eventually agreed.

In the centre of Station Square, a new park was being opened in their honour. Each had their own mini-statue. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Amy, Rouge, Cream, Big, E-102, E-123, Jet, Gerald Robotnik and even Ivo. Wave and Storm's were still being finished.

As Robotnik was no longer an enemy, people stopped calling him Eggman and used his proper name, Ivo. In fact, ever since he gave up the 'Take-over-the-world' thing, he had started to lose weight.

The whole world knew that Sonic's 15th birthday would be coming up soon. Everyone was preparing for the big event. Tails got bored on day on the internet and did a Google search for 'Sonic'. He found what he thought to be a very strange site. 'The Sonic Stadium'. Tails wanted to see what this site had about them. He was astounded by the amount of information they had.

Then he saw a link to a mini-site called 'Summer of Sonic'. An announcement stated that it would officially open on the 23rd, Sonic's Birthday.
