A bit of a change of pace.
The two heroes went to a boat that was docked for the day. Toad jumped into the boat with Copper asking how they knew that the owner was not going to come for it. "Because it's my boat." Big answered with a bit of a smile, "I named it the SS Boui." Copper did not understand what that was, but he was happy they got a boat. Big started up the engine and the boat started to move along. The three slowly started to go across the big blue waters, when Big started to speak up. "So," He said pulled out a thing of fishing bait from the jar he had next to him, "Do you two like fishing?" Toad shrugged and took the bait and a fishing rod. Copper took the bait and put it on the fishing rod and threw them both into the water. Big looked at him a bit confused. "I don't know how to fish." He said with innocence in his voice. The cat smiled and pulled the fishing rod out of the water and gave it to Copper, "Now the trick to fishing it to be patient. You don't want to pull too soon or too late. You want it to be when the fish is really on it." He turned off the engine and put up the sail, seeing that they more than have time knowing Eggman, and the trio started to fish.
A couple hours have passed and Toad started to have questions. "Why did you turn off the engine and wanted us to fish with you Big?" Big calmly started to pull up his fish and put it in the basket, "Because, I think it's important to talk to friends and get to know them a bit more." He got new bait and put it onto his hook. "So, what did you do before the whole Mario bros thing?" Toad sat down and thought back to simpler days, he sighed and laughed a bit. "I used to be an aid to the Princess." He adjusted his fishing rod a bit and looked up at the clouds, "I was the guy who had to say 'Your princess is in another castle. Or had to get Peach a tissue when she had to sneeze. Now I'm an adventurer and going to save the multiverse. I mean, how crazy is that?" Big nodded "It is very crazy. How about you Copper?" Copper looked up at Big and happily started to talk about his life, "I once helped Mario on his trip!" He was super proud of himself, "And now I'm helping you guys!" Big and Toad smiled and sighed a bit thanks to the relaxing waters. "How about you Big?" Toad asked putting his head on the basket, "What did you do before you met Sonic?" Big went quiet for a bit, as if all the joy went out of him. He took a deep breathe and turned on the engine, "We got to get moving." Toad and Copper were a bit dumbfounded by this and watched as he pulled in the fishing rods. Big sighed a bit, "I don't want to talk about it right now... Maybe in a bit, okay?" The trio slowly went on to the base of the robot creator, but little did they know, they where not alone.
