div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "So what was the one condition?" Tails asked joyfully as they continued strolling through the forest, trying to find a sign of Dr. Eggman./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Tails, seriously, stop freaking asking that. It's nothing to be joyful about." Knuckles grumbled./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Is it death?" Tails asked. "I don't like death…"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "No, worse." Knuckles replied./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" What could be worse than death? Tails wondered. "Um…well I really don't know then…"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Good." Knuckles mumbled./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Um…does it have to do with eggs?" Tails asked./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "No." Knuckles replied. "Well, actually, it kinda does…"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Hey, Knuckles, you never told me about your parents!" Sonic exclaimed, trying to change the subject. "I told you about mine…well, kinda…"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "I don't feel like talking about my stupid parents!" Knuckles yelled./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "I never had parents…" Tails remarked. "At least, not that I remember. I remember waking up somewhere. The only memory I really had was something creepy…like I was trapped somewhere dark, and, well, I don't know…"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Come on! We told you our childhoods! What's yours?" Sonic cried./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "I don't like to think about it." Knuckles argued./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Why?" Tails wondered. "I mean, it couldn't have been that bad. At least, not as bad as our childhoods."/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Actually, it is worse." Knuckles replied. "Why can't we ever talk about something else?"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "What's the one condition?" Tails asked for the millionth time./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Something other than THAT!" Knuckles yelled./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Uh, okay then…" Sonic mumbled. "Hey, look guys! There's a note on that tree! Maybe we should go look at it!" He ran away. The others ran over to him. Sonic ripped the note down. Tails began making creepy music sounds./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "What are you doing?" Knuckles asked./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "It's getting more intense…" Tails whispered. "That's our first note! Be careful…let's not look back!"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "What?!" Knuckles and Sonic yelled./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "What does it even say?" Tails asked./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Nothing exciting." Sonic sighed. "I think it was just an ad for…I dunno, lips?"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Lips?" Tails asked. He suddenly got a chill. "You know, I don't feel so good anymore."/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Why?" Sonic asked, crinkling up the faded pink piece of paper and tossing it on the ground. /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "I don't know…let's just go." Tails mumbled./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" The three of them silently wandered through the forest for quite a long time, until they somehow ended up back in town./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "How did we get back here?" Sonic cried./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "We must have walked in circles!" Tails sighed, and sat down in the middle of the road in frustration. "Why couldn't we have just done the one condition? It couldn't have been that insanely bad. I mean, really. It probably-"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "NO!" Knuckles yelled./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "What WAS IT THEN?" Tails whined./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "I've had it! We're not getting anywhere! This has been just a big waste of time! Get me when we actually know what's going on!" Knuckles yelled. "And without doing the freaking 'one condition'!" He ran away./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" Tails looked up at Sonic and sighed. "I guess he's right. That was a big waste of time." He sat there in thought, then looked back up at Sonic. "Do you think we should go back and ask Rouge now that Knuckles is gone?"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "What if she asks us to do the 'one condition'?" Sonic asked. "I still don't even know what it is."/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Maybe we have to go kill someone?" Tails wondered. "No, because it has nothing to do with death. It seemed to me that she wanted Knuckles to do it, though, but I don't know. I mean, he's the only one who knows what it actually even is…"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "I guess…" Sonic agreed. "Or why won't we just mind our own business until Egghead actually shows up? I mean, he's probably only just trying to get us distracted so he can do whatever he wants to do…"/div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Yeah!" Tails exclaimed. "Now, excuse me as I get back to my Asari-covered workshop and work on my new plane…" Tails began flying back to his workshop as Sonic stood there./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "SONIC!" Screeched a voice. Sonic turned around to see Amy Rose./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "Oh my God! Even after all this time, you still ended up finding me anyway!" Sonic shouted, and he ran off./div
div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" "So much for that." Amy Rose huffed, and began running EXTREMELY SLOWLY after Sonic./div
