Author's P.O.V.

Three months have passed since Jules was roboticized, and his wife was starting to worry.

"Charles," she began, "do you know when Jules will be back? Maurice is getting upset."

"I'll tell you what I know after the little one goes to bed," Charles said under his breath, "he shouldn't here this."

"Mama!" Maurice yelled as he rushed into the house, "Mrs. Rosemary just said her water broke."

"Oh dear," Bernadette said, rushing out the door, helping her friend.

"Charles!" She yelled, "Go get Dr. Quack."

"Sonny boy," Chuck said, "I want you to go and play with the other children, okay?"

"Okay," Maurice said, "Uncle Chuck, what's going on?"

"Mrs. Rosemary is going to have her baby."

"Oh, where do you want me to go?"

"Over to Ms. Rosie's house, that's were most of the other children go."

As Maurice made his way over to the woodchuck's house, he noticed a young wolf-like Mobian sitting by himself along the side of the road.

"Hi there," Maurice said with joy.

"Hello," muttered the white creature.

"Are you okay, you seem a little upset," Maurice asked.

"No, my parents kicked me out, and told me to come back when I make something of myself."

"That's terrible."

"I know, but what am I to do?"

"You can come and play with me, I'm on my way to Ms. Rosie's house to play with other village children."

"Thanks, uh..."

"Maurice, my name is Maurice Nadler. I am a hedgehog."

"I'm Myriad, Myriad Jackle. I am a jackal."

Amadeus woke up chained to an odd looking machine, barely being able to see out of his one eye. He was wondering how he got in the situation when a large, round man entered the room.

"Well, well, well, who do we have here, Commander Amadeus Arthur Prower," the figure chuckled.

"Where am I? Robotnik, what did you do to Jules?" Amadeus spat.

"Oh don't worry," Robotnik sneered, "you'll join your friend soon."

Robotnik then pressed a button and a machine started to surround the fox, encasing him.

"Oh, and by the way, happy father's day," Robotnik said, walking away fromthe now robotic fox.

Maurice and Myriad both ran over to Maurice's home after a fun filled day.

"My mommy will let you stay if you wanted to," Maurice said, "I got a Chao egg that is ready to hatch."

"A Chao," Myriad questioned, "what's that?"

"C'mon, I'll show ya."

The two then ran faster towards Maurice's house, then Maurice all of a sudden ran so fast, he broke the sound barrier.

"Whoa," Maurice said in surprise, stopping several meters later.

"Maurice!" Myriad yelled, "how did you go so fast?"

"I don't know, maybe my uncle will know."

The two friends then hurried over to the Nadler home, Maurice yelled out to his uncle.

"Uncle Chuck, can you help us?"

"Sonny boy, who's your new friend?" Chuck asked.

"My name is Myriad, I'm a jackal," Myriad said.

"Okay boys, what's your problem?"

"We were running over from Ms. Rosie's house, and I ran so fast, and there was a loud boom." Maurice began.

"What, you broke the sound barrier!" Chuck exclaimed.

"Am I going to be okay?" Maurice asked.

"You'll be fine," Chuck began, "you just need to control it."

"Does that mean that Maurice will have to go away?" Myriad asked.

"We would never let that happen," Chuck said.

"C'mon Sonic," Myriad said, "let's go see you Chao."

"What did you call me?" Maurice asked.

"Sonic, because you created a sonic boom."

"Okay!" Sonic said, running to his room, "c'mon, I'll show you my egg."

A couple of hours later, Sonic's chao hatched.

"Whoa Sonic, it looks just like you." Myriad said, eyeing the Chao.

"I know, so what should we call him?" Sonic asked.

"How 'bout Speedy."

"That's great."

"Okay Maurice, time for bed," Chuck said, "and Myriad, you should start heading home."

"But Uncle Chuck, he can't go home," Sonic said, "his dad kicked him out."

"Yeah, and Sonic said I could stay for a while," Myriad said.

"I see," Chuck said, "I guess you could stay here tonight, Bernadette wouldn't mind."

"Yay," the two friends yelled, happily running towards Sonic's room for their sleepover.

"Maurice!" Chuck yelled, "your mother won't be home until late tonight, as she is helping Mrs. Rosmary have her baby."

"Okay Uncle Chuck," Sonic yelled.
