Chapter 2: Before He Found Them

Before Sonic found the new village, the people in it were working very hard to make it a beautiful place where they could forget all of their problems and worries as best they could.

"Sally," Bunnie Rabbot said with her thick, southern accent. "Where do y'all think I should put this chimney on mine and Antoine's house? For the life of me, I can't figure out where to start building the fireplace!"

"Bunnie," Sally replied. "Isn't it a bit too warm right now for a fireplace? It is Summer, you know."

"So? Doesn't matter. I'm just preparing for the future, ya know." Bunnie said.

"Ask Antoine." Sally said before walking off to see if everyone else was working. She looked a little bit stressed from all of the constant work, but things were better now that she had her mind off of Sonic. The more they worked to make their new secret village perfect, the happier they would all be, and the more distracted she could keep herself, as she was still trying to keep her mind in a happier place. She walked over to where Amy Rose's house was. Behind her house, where she should have been working, she was talking about what her plans are for that night with Scourge.

"I'm going to wear something that I can get wet in. For some reason, I feel that I'm going to need it." she said to him.

"Heh. Doesn't really matter, don't ya think? You're gonna end up naked no matter whathappens tonight." he said with a smirk. He leaned close to her face and she wrapped her arms around his neck. They were about to go into a heated make out session, when Sally interrupted them.

"Ahem." the chipmunk said. They both looked over at her with a 'we're busted' expression. "This isn't the time for that, you two! Amy, make yourself useful and go plant these seeds on the small island in the middle of the water below. They''ll grow special fruit for the chao, and for us for the upcoming fun we're going to have."

"Okay." Amy said, trying to sound as cheerful as possible. It wasn't too hard, though. Even if she didn't have her mind on work right now, she knew what type of fruit it was going to be. It would induce a fake mating season for them, which would result in a wild orgy and explosions of a naughty mess all over the place. Even if the clean up would be miserable, it didn't make it any less worth it.

Sally headed back to her lookout spot and picked up her binoculars. She saw something blue in the distance. It was fuzzy, but had a familiar shape even though she couldn't see exactly who it was. She blew the whistle that hung from her neck, signaling that everyone needed to go into hiding, only to be caught a moment later when Sally lost her footing, and a rock crumbled out from underneath her feet, sending her plummeting to the ground. It was horrible to think that after escaping the past, it had caught right back up to her. Sonic had found them.
