A/N- Sorry about making you guys read the first chapter over again. I'm just not used to putting stories up on the internet. This is the very first one that I've done, though.

The Name Akemi is awesome-Again, thanks for the reviews! Don't worry, this chapter is all about the SonicX characters. I just call them Team Sonic because of the summary for one of the episodes. Yes, Avatar is going into the next chapter. Okay, now, on to the story!

Chapter 3: Freedom From Boredom

While some of the young heroes were over in Japan, others were just sitting at home in the U.S.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm bored," Chris complained to Sonic, who was standing right next to him. They were both leaning over the deck over the backyard over the Thorndyke estate.

"Me too. It's hard to believe that Eggman's not trying to attack us or something. Who knows, he's probably planning something," Sonic replied. Just then, Amy came out.

"Hey, you two," she said gloomily. She felt the same way as they did. Heck, everyone did.

"You know, I actually want Eggman or someone to attack us. That way, we can battle him," she added.

"Yeah! That'd be awesome!" Sonic answered with a smile.

Heh, heh, heh. Typical Sonic. He's always up for a battle, Chris thought to himself.

"Hey, Sonic, why don't you go on one of your runs?" Chris suggested to his friend.

"Nah. I've been just about everywhere there is to go," he replied.

"But you haven't taken me anywhere," Amy said using her 'charming' voice and batting her eyelashes.

Not like I'm going to, either, Sonic thought with a frown. Much as he secretly has a crush on her, she can be a HUGE pain in the butt to him.

"Hey, guys! I just got an idea!" Chris exclaimed.

"What?" Sonic and Amy both asked in unison.

"Here's a suggestion! How 'bout we take this time to go on a vacation?" he replied.

"Yeah, but…" Amy started.

Sonic finished her question by saying, "Where to?"

"Japan!"

"WHAT! Japan?!" both exclaimed/asked with giant smiles on their faces.

"What part of Japan?" Sonic inquired, "Not like I really care, but I just wanna know."

"How 'bout the countryside? Of course, we'll have to ask everyone else what they think about the idea first," Chris answered.

"On it!" Sonic and Amy exclaimed in unison.

"Well, um, I guess they liked the idea," Chris said with shock.

Of course, Sonic was the first one to find somebody to ask about the trip, and that somebody just happened to be Tails, who was working in his workshop, fixing the X-Tornado.

"Hey, Tails!" Sonic called once he got inside the workshop..

"Hey Sonic! What's up?" Tails answered while climbing down from the X-Tornado.

"Chris just came up with a great idea as to how to not be bored to death," Sonic replied with a smile.

"Okay, I'm listening," Tails said. He was standing right in front of his friend.

"Alright. Chris was thinking that we could go to the Japanese countryside. Of course, we'd probably need to take the X-Tornado."

"Sure! I could probably have this fixed up in no time at all!" Tails exclaimed. He then got to work and finished so fast that it even made Sonic's head spin.

"See, I told ya I'd have it fixed in no time," Tails said. Sonic's jaw just dropped.

"Y-you…wow. That was fast," was the only thing that he could say.

Meanwhile, Amy was a little bit busy, too.

"Cream! Cream! I have something to ask you!" Amy called as she tore into the living room where Cream, her mother, and Cheese were sitting on the couch together.

"Yes, Amy?" Cream answered, looking up at her.

"Chris suggested that we all go on a vacation to the Japanese countryside! Doesn't that sound like fun?" Amy inquired with a gigantic smile.

"Mother, may I go with my friends?" Cream asked her mother.

"Alright, you may go," her mother answered before she looked at Amy and said, "but please, take care of her."

"Not to worry, Vanilla. We've done that a lot, and we're not going to change that," Amy replied cheerfully.

Meanwhile, Chris was asking his grandfather, Chuck, if he and his friends could take a trip to Japan.

"JAPAN!!!! Do you know how far it is from this country?!" Chuck exclaimed

"But Grandpa, we'll be careful! And if one of us gets attacked, the rest of us will be able to help them, and we'll all be looking out for each other," Chris complained. He really wanted to go.

"Well, you and your friends have proven to be very responsible, so…" Chuck said in an 'I guess so' voice.

"Can I go with them? Pleeaase?" Chris begged.

"I suppose."

"YEAH!"

Chris then ran into the living room, forgetting to thank his grandfather, and found Sonic, Amy, Cream, Cheese, and Tails sitting there, waiting for him.

"So, what's the verdict?" Sonic asked with a small smile. Chris looked like he was about to burst.

"We can go!" he shouted.

"YEAH!" Sonic, Amy, and Tails all yelled.

"This is going to be fun!" Cream exclaimed, but in a quieter voice.

"Chao, chao!" Cheese cried. That was his way of saying that he was excited about going on a trip with his friends.
