With Knuckles and Ray

Knuckles and Ray were walking in the jungle part of the island, looking for Henry Every's treasure. They are separate from Sonic and the others as they were their hiking trip at the moment. Knuckles took the lead and was looking at the treasure map of Tails Island as Ray was walking beside him, examining the map as well.

"Okay the map says that we're nearing two palm trees that are cross together to shape into a "X" in the north of the island ." Knuckles said, looking at the map and the track they were walking on.

"There! I think I found it!" Ray pointed as he quickly ran pass Knuckles.

Standing in front of Ray was two palm trees in the shape of a "X". The gold flying squirrel then began to climb the tree to sniff them and look around the area to see if there was any other clues that could help them. Knuckles was again stun that something like this even existed in Tails Island.

"How come I never notice this when I was a kid." Knuckles scratched his head as he looked at the two palm trees.

"Knuckles! What does the map tell us what do next with the palm trees?" Ray yelled from the top of the palm tree.

Knuckles looked down to the map, "I'm not sure. The trail ends here on the map, but there some weird scribbles near the drawing the of the palm trees." Knuckles said, looking at the scribbles.

Ray jumped off the tree and landed in front of Knuckles, "Let me have a look at that." Ray said, grabbing the map from Knuckles's hand and began to look at it.

"Wait, I think I seen those scribbles before." The flying squirrel said, looking at the scribble.

"You have?" Knuckles outstanded by Ray's info.

"Yeah give me a sec." Ray said, as he reach down to his hammerspace and pulled out small brown pocket size notebook. "I think I may have written these symbols as a kid in my small notebook. These scribbles may represent letters. If only I can find the page I wrote them on."

"Wow Ray, I'm pretty amazed how you know this stuff. Usually I just use some radar to help me find some treasure." Knuckles told the squirrel.

"Well when you have a armadillo friend that loves to travel. You tend to the learn about the places you visit to." Ray answered with a soft chuckle before looking at back to his book. "I found it!" Ray said, finding the page.

"See, here are the symbols I was talking about." Ray pointed for Knuckles. "Each symbol correspond to a letter that old pirates like Henry like to keep secret from others. If I could just translate each symbol with their right letters it might give us a clue to what to do next."

"Alright Ray, do your thing." Knuckles said, taking a step away from his friend.

Ray nodded at Knuckles, took out a pen, and began translating the scribbles on the map to the letters from his small notebook, writing it on a blank page on his notebook. It took a while for Ray decode the symbols, for there were symbols that look identical to each other and would trick Ray's brain into making a mistake. Ray put down his pen and smiled, finally finished and walked towards Knuckles.

"Well do you got?" Knuckles said as Ray showed him the secret message.

"The scribbles on the map translate to: To reach the riches of my paradise, one must travel to the west of the two palm trees cross together will reach a secret entrance." Ray read the message out loud.

"Secret entrance, I thought the treasure would be bury here since it the trees form a x." Knuckles said, looking at the palm trees..

"Nah, that would be too easy. Henry was very protective with his treasure. He doesn't even trust his own pirate crew." Ray said.

"Okay the message said that we must head west from the palm trees." Knuckles said, looking at the map of Tails Island. "Which means that will lead us to here to this mountain."

"Why the odd look, Knuckles." Ray said, staring into the map with the echidna.

"Like I said before, I know this place and the place where we're heading leads to a dead end on the map." Knuckles examine the map.

"Yeah, but the message says there is a secret entrance on the way. Maybe we can find it." Ray said. "There's gotta be more to this that the map isn't showing us."

Knuckles rolled his eyes as he and Ray began to to walk their next destination on the map. Though, it was a start of their treasure hunting journey, Knuckles was actually somewhat excited to find the hidden treasure that Ray was eager to find. Ray's eagerness reminded him of himself when he was a young treasure hunter.

Meanwhile Tails and Marine

The young fox and raccoon were still in the yellow submarine as the search of the giant squid that saved Tails's life continued, using the submarine he built as a kid. The two young kids were enjoying themselves a big bowl of popcorn and sodie pops as they watch the Little Mermaid together and discuss the movie together, all while the submarine is set on auto pilot, taking them to their destination.

Tails just finish his second bottle of sodie pop and up got up from his seat to head to the small fridge to grab another fresh sodie pop. When Tails got back to his seat, he looked over to his raccoon friend, who had her eyes glue to the large screen playing the movie in front of them. Tails open his sodie pop and took a good sip from it as Marine was eating her bowl of popcorn in her hands.

"Hey Marine, mind checking the map to see if we are any close to the area of the sea." Tails asked his friend.

"Gotta ya!" Marine smiled as she turn her head to look at a small monitor. "It says that we'll be there in ten minutes. Oh boy!"

"Good, we'll be there no time soon." Tails said, happily as he and Marine turn back their attention to the move.

"You know, I'm curious to know something, Tails." Marine asked.

"What?" Tails responded.

"What do you plan to do when you find the giant squid and thank it?" Marine wonder.

"Well after I find it and thank it, I'm gonna take a quick picture of it so I can show proof to Sonic that there was a giant squid that saved me many years ago." Tails said, before taking a sip of sodie pop.

"But most importantly, it's to rub it on Sonic's face that I was right." He said, as looked back at the movie as Marine laughed at his comment as turn their attention back to the movie they are watching..

"You know, I actually consider Ariel to be the worst Disney princess and character ever." Tails stated.

"Home come?" Marine grew curious as Tails began his rant and reason.

"The entire plot of the Little Mermaid is that Ariel goes up to the surface and sees a hot dude and she be like "Boy, I like some of that!" and then Ariel goes to her dad and her dad says to her "No hot boy for you.", so then Ariel goes to make a bad deal with a witch! And that ends up killing her dad and then the man has to save her! Everything she does actively empowers her villain. Instead of fighting her villain, she makes a deal with her villain. She's terrible and awful!" Tails yelled his dislike of Ariel.

"Wow Tails, I didn't know you hate Ariel that much." Marine said with her eyes widen by the long angry rant.

"I only like the Little Mermaid movie because I like the "Under the Sea" song. It's the only thing that keeps me coming back to this movie." The fox stated.

"Well who doesn't, it's a really catchy song." Marine agreeing with her fox friend.

"I like Mulan a lot better than Ariel. If Mulan was in this movie, she'll be going all "Onimusha" against Ursula. Even Sonic agrees with me since he likes Mulan the best." Tails said causing Marine to laugh even harder.

Just before Tails could go more with his rant, Marine looked at the monitor and quickly inform Tails that they have reached their destination. Tails nodded his head and quickly shut off the movie and turned off the autopilot from the submarine and gain control for himself.

When Tails open the shutters of the front view of the yellow submarine. They were amazed to see the underwater blue sea filled with all types of underwater plants and fishes. They saw seahorses, clown fishes, Black fishes, Blowfishes, and bass fish and many more that Tails could identify on his own.

Marine was just dazzled by the beauty of the sea that she was speechless and cover her mouth with a hand. Tails looked over to Marine and chuckled at her reaction, knowing this would happen to her. Tails snapped his fingers in front Marine's face to take her out from her daze.

"Beautiful isn't!" Tails said, looking at the deep blue sea.

"Wow Tails, I don't think I have ever seen so much sea life in one place." The raccoon said, as she smiled at a school of fish that swam past the yellow submarine in front of them and press her face against the glass of the submarine to get a better look at everything.

Tails smiled and jumped off from seat and went to another part of his yellow submarine and began tinkering with the buttons and lever. Marine quickly saw the yellow fox get from his seat and followed him to where he was tinkering with the controls.

"Whatcha doin' mate?" Marine said, seeing Tails put on a set of headphones on his ears.

"I'm about to use the radio." Tails answered, as he tuning his so call radio.

"Why mate?" Marine said, as she tease Tails with her hands on her hips, "Are you gonna listen the fishes sing or something."

Tails chuckled, "Haha, something like that. I'm actually going to translate to what the fishes are saying and translate what we're saying to the fishes so we can both communicate." He said, giving a pair of headphones to his racoon friend.

"Wow, a machine that allows to talk to fish. When did you have the time build something amazing like this?" Marine said, giving Tails every curious eyes.

"I found this radio when I went to my room when we arrive to my beach house. I just finish adding up the unfinished touches that I left undone as a kid." Tails answered.

Tails looked towards his radio, "Now then, let's test this baby. With this we could ask the fishes of this part of the sea if they ever seen a giant squid. Marine take control of the submarine and find any sorta fish if they seen a giant squid or know the whereabout of the giant squid." Tails order.

"Right, you can count on me." Marine gave a thumbs up.

Marien ran to the controls and began to take control of the submarine through the area of the sea at a good speed. It took a while for Marine to find a good fish for her and Tails to talk to. Marine wanted to pick a good fish to talk and was very curious to see how Tails's fish radio works.

After searching for a good minute or two, Marine's ears perked up excitedly when she saw a happy looking Yellow Jack fish, swimming in a carefree manner as he was living his fish life. Marine drove the yellow submarine closer to the Jack fish as Tails was getting ready to use his fish radio.

"That one, Tails! Let's see if that fish knows anything about the giant squid." Marine said, as Tails nodded his head began his fish radio.

The yellow jack fish stopped swimming when saw the yellow submarine coming towards him. The Jack fish got scared by the yellow machine and stood frozen in fear for him to swim away, thinking that the submarine is a bigger fish trying to eat him. The fish cover it's eyes with it's fish fins, waiting for the worst to happen.

Tails then pressed a button inside the submarine and out pop out a microphone for him and a microphone popping out from the yellow submarine and in front of the fish to speak on. The yellow jack fish slowly lifted his fish fins from his eyes and saw the microphone in front of him and began to beg for his life.

"Please don't eat me! I beg of you! I have a wife and 50 kids back home! Their expecting their daddy to come back home safely! Please! To one yellow fish to another yellow fish!" The jack fish pleaded.

Tails and Marine awkwardly looked at each other as the jack fish kept on begging for his life in front of them. Having enough of the fish pleading for his life. Tails stepped up and grabbed his microphone to talk to the fish.

"Umm….Hello." Tails said, softly.

The fish stopped pleading when he heard Tails talk and looked at both the fox and racoon.

"You…..you…can understand me?" The fish said.

Both Tails and Marine smiled at the fish, "Yeah we can, we're using a special device that allows us to talk to fishes." Tails inform the sea creature.

"I see, how can you speak when you're inside a giant fish that has eaten you?" The yellow fish said, looking at the yellow submarine.

Tails and Marine laughed at the yellow jack fish's lack of knowledge of technology from the surface, finding it funny that the fish thinks that the submarine is a giant fish that has eaten them. Tails and Marine stopped laughing and answer the yellow fish in front of them.

"This isn't a fish, mate. This is a submarine that my friend Tails build himself. It allows us to go underwater since we can't breathe underwater. We're from the surface above you see." Marine pointed out as she spoke on the microphone.

The fish was amazed once again that he was talking to creatures from the world above the sea. Here, he was swimming in this average day doing his daily routine in his fish life and the next thing you know he's talking to some creatures from above.

"Allows us to introduce ourselves. I'm Miles Prower, but everybody calls me Tails because of my two tails." The fox introduce himself and showed his two tails to the fish.

Marine grabbed the mic and introduce herself next to the yellow fish, "I'm Marine the Raccoon, future captain of the sea." Marine proudly said as she handed back the mic to Tails.

"So tell us, what's your name?" Tails asked.

"The name is Jack, Jack the yellow jack fish." The fish proudly said, causing Tails and Marine to sweatdrop at the name.

"You two aren't going to eat me are you?" Jack said, worried.

"Nah, we ain't gonna eat ya." Tails laughed. "Although, if my friend Honey the Cat saw you right now. She'll be the one wanting to eat you since she loves eating fish" Tails joked.

"Sounds like this Honey the Cat creature sounds dangerous. I definitely don't want to meet her." Jack shivered in fear.

"Anyways, Jack. We came to you because we wanted to ask you a question." Tails said, looking at the fish.

"Sure, what is it?" Jack said, seeing that there is no harm talking to the fox and raccoon.

"We're wondering if you or anybody around here know about a squid that is the size of a whale that has been or seen around here?" Tails said, as Marine stood close next to him.

Jack placed his fin on his fish chin and began to think to answer the fox's question. Jack even began to rub his head in frustration, for might have the answer to the fox. Jack's eyes widen, finally having an answer for the fox. He swam close to the microphone.

Before Jack could answer Tails though the microphone. The other fishes around them started screaming and swimming away from the area in panic and fear. Tails, Marine, and Jack looked at the sacred fishes, wondering why are they fleeing from the scene in haste. Curious, Jack quickly swam in front of a clown fish and spoke to it as Tails and Marine listening carefully to what the two fishes were talking about.

"Dude, what's going on? Why is everybody panicking and fleeing?" Jack asked the clown fish as he held it's face with his fins.

"It it it it's t-them t-the the….." The clown fish stutter out, to scared to talk properly

Jack slapped the clown fish's face rapidly with his fish fins, "Keep it together man! Now's not the time to act all funny! What's going on!" Jack demanded as the clown fish finally calm down a bit and answer to Jack.

"It's that time of the year, Jack! The time of the year where they come to wreck our homes for a week!" Clown fish said, as he screamed and fled from the scene quickly as Jack finally knew what the clown fish was talking about.

"That time of the year? What does he mean by that?" Marine asked, as she looked at Tails. As Tails

"I don't know." Tails answered as shrugged his shoulders.

Just then, the radar monitor then started aggressively beeping next to Marine. The female raccoon ran towards the monitor and saw multiple large red dots heading in their direction according to the radar.

"Tails! There's something heading in our direction that the radar is picking up! And they're coming in fast!" Marine inform the fox.

Tails nodded at Marine and quickly turn to Jack who was still there in front of them, "Jack, tell us what's going on?" Tails said, wanting a quick answer.

Jack slowly turn and face Tails with dreaded eyes as the next set of words send a chilling tone to his fish spine and gave his response to the young yellow fox.

"Shark Week."

Meanwhile with Sonic and Co.

Back with Sonic and the others. They have been walking for a good ten minutes as they were hiking together through Tails Island, where Sonic was showing the gang the fun spots on the island where he, Tails, and Knuckles would play and hang out together when they were just kids years ago.

They were taking their time with their walk through Tails Island as Sonic was holding hands with his girlfriend, Tiara. Alongside Honey, Blaze, and Mighty who were walking behind them. They wanted to slowly walk to enjoy the beautiful nature in their pathway. Everybody was enjoying their view of the nature, except Mighty, who was looking rather uncomfortable at the moment.

The reason for this is because recently Sonic caught Mighty blushing near Honey the Cat, the catgirl that Mighty has a crush on. Sonic mistakenly took Mighty's blush for Blaze since the lavender cat was near Mighty when he was blushing madly.

Mighty told a lie to Sonic that he has a crush Blaze in order to protect his secret that he actually has a crush on his sister Honey since Sonic is a over protective brother when it comes to Honey's love life.

Because of this, Mighty wasn't able to enjoy the nature around him with the lie he told to Sonic that he has a crush on Blaze, running through his head. Mighty feared that might have to lie in front of Sonic and Honey that he has crush on Blaze and Honey might possible get her feelings hurt if that moment comes. Just thought of Honey's feelings getting hurt was something he didn't want to see or think about.

As the gang were walking together, Honey saw the distraught look on her crush's face and how he wasn't looking at the nature that he loves to admire like before. Worried, Honey stood beside Mighty to comfort him. The armadillo was looking down to the ground in deep thought as the pig tail cat tried looking at his eyes.

"Mighty, what's wrong?" Honey said, with a frown.

The armadillo snapped out of his daze and looked at Honey face's, which he found beautiful to look at. Funny enough, Mighty finds Honey's worry face beautiful as well. Mighty considers Honey to beautiful when she's happy, angry, sad, and calm. It just comes to show how much care Mighty has for the yellow cat. The armadillo sigh sadly as he spoke up.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about something is all." The armadillo said.

"Like what?" Honey said, curious.

"Like where is Knuckles and Ray. I haven't seen them in a bit. I know Tails and Marine are in that yellow submarine looking for that giant squid, but I haven't seen Knuckles and Ray." Mighty said, lying.

Although Mighty was half lying in his part for he didn't want Honey to know about the situation he's in and was actually wondering where his pal Knuckles and his little brother Ray were doing at the moment and hopefully what Ray and Knuckles are doing is something safe.

"Hey yeah, your right. I haven't seen much of Ray and Knuckles. I wonder what those two are doing right now. I hope they're okay." Honey said, rubbing her chin.

"I'm sure they are. Ray knows not to do something reckless and Knuckles has his strength to help them." Mighty said, thinking about his echidna friend and squirrel brother.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Honey chuckled, "I bet they're finding treasure or something." Honey joked as she and Mighty laughed a bit together, making Mighty feel a bit more at ease.

The two were unaware that far behind them in the background was Knuckles and Ray walking pass them doing their own thing.

Honey glance at her brother in front of her, "Hey Sonic, how far are until we reach one of the spots?" The yellow feline asked.

"We're already here!" Sonic said, as he turn towards to Honey.

"Really?" Blaze responded.

"Eeyup, it's just behind this tall grass here. We just got to walk through it." Sonic pointed at the tall grass behind him.

Without haste, Sonic and the gang walked through the tall grass as they push away the tall grass out of their way. Once they were out of the tall grass. Everybody was amazed by what they saw in front of them was a large open grassy paddy field that felt like it had no end to hit. Sonic smirked seeing everybody's face, let go of Tiara's hand, and stood in front of them with a big smile.

"Welcome to the rice field!" Sonic said, joking.

"Wow." Blaze said, looking at the beautiful field of grass, "I never knew a place like this could even exist in a island."

"Me and Tails use to play hide and seek with each other by hiding in the tall grass without me using my super speed and Tails without using his two tails to fly. We even play Marco Polo and face each other with paintballs guns at times." Sonic said, before taking a deep breath of the air.

"Ah, this smell sure is bringing back memories." Sonic smiled softly as he clapped his hands together and looked at his friends.

"Well then, how about we play a quick game together. I'm up for one." Sonic joyfully said.

"Sure, I wanna play as well." Tiara agreed.

"I do as well. It's not often I do something new for a change." Blaze said.

"Actually Sonic, I'm just gonna watch you guys play." Honey said.

"How come?" Sonic said. He found it odd that his sister didn't want to play for she was always one to compete in every game they play together.

"Oh nothing, I'm just not in the mood is all." Honey said, lying.

Honey's real reason to not play was that while everybody is playing with each other, she was hoping that she could spend some alone time with Mighty, which was also what the armadillo wanted as well.

"Yeah, I'm not in the mood to play as well, Sonic." Mighty lied as well.

"Nonsense, besides Honey. I really want you to play with me and Tiara first. It's a three player game after all." Sonic said, as he looked over to Blaze. "Hey Blaze, if you don't mind, I like to play with Tiara and Honey first."

Blaze nodded her head, "Sure, I don't mind. This gives me a chance to see how the game is played."

"I hope you don't mind as well, Mighty." Sonic said towards the armadillo.

"Sure not all." Mighty said, in an uneasy tone.

Sonic got close to Mighty and whisper to him, "Dude, this is the chance for you to talk to Blaze personally and make her fall for you. Don't let it go to waste." Sonic said, in a sly tone.

"T-thanks." Mighty said, blandly.

"Come on sis, let's play." Sonic said, as he grabbed Honey's arm with Tiara following them.

"Sonic, I really don't want to play." Honey said.

"Trust me, Honey. You'll love this game once you know how to play it." Sonic said, as he walked away with her.

Honey sadly turned her head to Mighty and gave him a very sad pouty face. Sad that they weren't going to spend some time with each other. Honey's sad face left Mighty a still image of her as his heart melted for her.

Once Sonic, Tiara, and Honey were far apart from Mighty and Blaze and played their game of three together. Blaze watched carefully as she watch her friends play together, trying to understand the rules of the games. Mighty on the other hand wasn't so much paying attention as he sat next to Blaze on the grass, looking rather uncomfortable.

Blaze took notice of Mighty, who was looking sad as the image of Honey's sad face was stuck in his head. Blaze, trying to be a good friend as she can be, scooted closer to Mighty and tried to talk to him about his problems.

"Hey Mighty, is something wrong. You look a bit down on something." Blaze said.

"It's nothing." Mighty lied as he looked away from the cat.

"Don't "Oh nothing" me, Mighty. Something is wrong with you. Please as a friend I like to help." Blaze said, putting a hand her heart.

There was nothing but silent between them until Mighty let out a huge sigh of frustration.

"Fine." Mighty said, as he stood up and gaze at the lavender cat. "Blaze what I'm about to say is something that you might find shocking."

"Lay it on me. How shocking can it really be" Blaze said, with her arms crossed.

"Sonic thinks I have a crush on you." Mighty confessed.

"WHAT?!" Blaze yelled with her face blushing.

"Shhhh! Calm down Blaze! Let me explain." Mighty said, trying to calm down the princess.

"Why in earth does Sonic think you have a crush on me?" Blaze yelled as her emotions were bursting out.

"It's because Sonic caught me blushing near you." Mighty said.

"You were blushing near me? So you really do have a crush on me?" Blaze said, blushing herself even more as she was spazzing out, unable to control her emotions that prevent her to keep herself calm.

Mighty blushed in embarrassment, "You're doing it again!" Blaze yelled and pointed at Mighty's blushing face.

"No, listen. Those blushes wasn't caused by you." Mighty explained. "They weren't?" Blaze titled her head. "No. The real reason for those blushes is because….." Mighty stopped his sentence.

"Is because what?" Blaze grew curious.

"It's….because...I like Honey." Mighty said, with his face blushing like never before for it's not often that he reveals his crush on Honey to anybody.

Blaze just looked at Mighty with a blank face and scratch her head for she was confused by the armadillo's answer.

"Well of course who doesn't like honey. I put honey in tea and meals. It's a great taste to have and bees make them." Blaze said, talking about the yellow substance.

Mighty gave a frustrated yell, "No! Not that kind of honey! I mean Honey the Cat. The one that likes to fight and wears a red dress! I like her okay. Very much!" Mighty confessed with his red face.

The cat princess' amber color eyes widen as big as she can at the armadillo's response, "No way, you like that Honey." Blaze said, with her mouth wide open as she looked back at Honey, who was playing at the rice fields with Sonic and Tiara.

"Y-yeah, I like Honey." Mighty said, rubbing the back of his head to feel more comfortable.

"Well that explains all the giggle I've been hearing from you and Honey were making during our trip. I thought you guys were talking behind my back." Blaze explained, giving a mean glare.

The lavender colored princess took a moment to sink in the situation. "Woah, I never thought anybody will ever take that much of a liking for Honey." Blaze with her arms crossed and closed her eyes as she began to think to herself.

"Why so?" Mighty asked the dimension princess.

Blaze face the armadillo with a concern face, "I always thought that boys would be too scare to be hitch together with Honey because of her aggressive nature and her love of fighting." Blaze said, thinking more of her yellow feline friend.

"Yeah well, I happen to be one of those other boys that likes her for who she is." Mighty confessed with a blush.

"How did this whole thing between you and Honey started? If you don't mind me asking?" Blaze said, as she scooted closer to Mighty, wanting the full scoop of Mighty's relationship with Honey.

"It all started one day when everybody in Team Chaotix saw me and Honey hanging out together. They thought we had a thing together and set us up in a date for Valentine's day against my will. At first, I thought nothing of it, but as our date went on. Me and Honey learned more about each other and things just started sparking up between us. Eventually at the end, we both ended up falling for each other more than we both thought we would." Mighty confessed, smiling at the memory. (Read "Sonic Tales: A Mighty Valentine" for the whole story.)

"Honey is one heck of a girl I ever met. She's something special from any other person I have ever met." Mighty said, as he smiled and looked at his crush who was still playing with Sonic and Tiara.

Blaze smiled at the armadillo's love for the yellow cat, but grew curious about something, "If you and Honey like each other. Then aren't you two together as a couple." Blaze asked.

Mighty scratched the side of his nose, "Well as much as me and Honey want to get together. There's one problem that's stopping us from doing so." Mighty said, looking back at the rice field.

"And that is?" The purple cat said, looking at the armadillo.

"That problem happens to be Honey's brother, Sonic." Mighty said, looking at his hedgehog friend over the rice field.

"Sonic? How is he the problem?" Blaze said, confused by Mighty's answer.

"Sonic is a over protective brother when it comes to Honey's love life. He doesn't want anybody going out with his sister, not even me. He'll do unspeakable things to the person dating his sister." Mighty responded.

"Oh what's the worse that Sonic could do." Blaze said, thinking that Mighty is bluffing.

"He'll do this to me." Mighty said as he lean close to Blaze's ear whisper to her. Blaze's felt shiver of fear go down her spine as Mighty told her. "He'll do that to me." Mighty said, scared.

"Wow, I never knew Sonic had a bit of a dark side to him. I thought he was nothing but rainbows and sunshine." Blaze said, rubbing the back of his head.

"That's odd? Aren't you and Sonic childhood friends? I would think Sonic will be fine if his sister dated someone he knows well, especially you." Blaze scratched her head.

"Me and Sonic may be childhood friends, but he always puts his family first before his friends." Mighty explained as he sigh. "Can you blame him though, Tails and Honey are the closest things as his brother and sister. It's the only family he has fighting for. I feel the same with Ray since he's my little brother."

Blaze looked towards Sonic and Honey as the blue hedgehog and yellow cat were sharing a laugh together as they played their game.

"I suppose you're right. I still think Sonic should put away his brotherly love on the side and let Honey date the guy she wants." Blaze said.

Blaze stood up and gave a bow to the armadillo, "As a princess, you and Honey have my support and blessing for your relationship. Honey could really use a guy like you in her life." Blaze said, as gave a caring smile to the armadillo.

Mighty smiled back at the lavender cat, "Thanks Blaze, that means a lot from a friend like you."

"Also, I'm sorry for yelling at you when you told me Sonic thinks you have a crush on me." Blaze apologizing to Mighty.

"It's alright Blaze. No need to be sorry." Mighty said as the two sat together and watched their friends play.

"If you like, I can trick Sonic into going to a false journey in my dimension, so you and Honey can spend all the time with each other while he's busy." Blaze offer and joked at the same time.

Mighty put a hand on his chin and looked at the sky as he began to think, "Hmmmm…...I'll think about it." The armadillo also joked as he and Blaze laughed.

Over at the rice field, Honey couldn't help but look at both Mighty and Blaze who were laughing and smiling at one another. Honey clench her fist tightly, feeling jealousy run through her whole body as the thought of Blaze spending time with Mighty. Somewhat thinking that Blaze was trying to steal Mighty from her.

Sonic took notice of his sister's upset face and walk towards her, "Honey, is something wrong that's upsetting you?" Sonic asked.

"No Sonic, nothing is wrong." Honey lied as she gritted her teeth and tried to hide her anger.
