Chris was waiting in the hallway for Sonic. He still couldn't believe that he was finally gonna get to see Sonic again after all these years. Memories of his past adventures with Sonic and the others started flow into his mind.

"Hey, Chris!"

Chris looked up to see Sonic no more than a few feet away.

"I...I don't believe it. ..S-s-s-s-Sonic! It's you! It's really you!"

Sonic ran to Chris and hugged him with brotherly love.

"Chris, what are you doing here? How did you get here? Oh it doesn't matter! I'm just happy to see you!"

"I'm happy to see you too, Sonic! It's been to long!"

"Hey, Chris!" Amy shouted as she, Knuckles, Cream, Cheese and Tails all came up to him.

"Wow, I can't believe I'm actually getting to see you all again! This is such a dream come true for me."

"We missed you very much, Chris, it's great to see you!" said Knuckles.

"Thank, you Knuckles. I'm happy to see you've lightened up a little more since I last saw you," said Chris.

Everybody laughed a little while Knuckles cheeks turned red in embarrassment.

"Look I think he's blushing," said Sonic.

"I am not!" said Knuckles.

Sonic continued, "I think he's actually turning redder than he was before."

Knuckles growled a little and grabbed a dart off of a nearby dart board and threw it. It just barely missed Sonic's well...ya know.

"Uh...maybe not," said Sonic nervously.

"I didn't mean to upset you that much," said Chris.

"Hey it's cool, I'm use to being pissed off all the time. So don't worry about it."

"Chao, chao, chao!" Cheese said very excitedly.

"I missed you to, Cheese," said Chris as Cheese started rubbing against him like a cat.

"There's so much to say, and unfortunately, not enough time to say it," said Amy.

"Huh?"

Chris looked puzzled.

"Well in case you all forgot, our whole planet is facing a crisis. I wanna catch up with Chris too, but right now we have a duty to our planet and duty comes before pleasure. Sorry, Chris."

"It's alright, Amy, we've had to do things like that many times before. This is nothing new to me," said Chris.

Then Sonic said, "Then let's get to it. I'll go with Chris, Amy you and Knuckles join the search parties for these Gayos and Gamera monsters. Tails..."

Sonic saw Tails and Cream holding hands.

"...you've done enough for today. You can take the rest of the day off."

Sonic gave Tails an understanding wink. And with that, Tails and Cream walked away.

"Chao?"

"Yes, Cheese, you can go with them," said Sonic who chuckled a little.

Cheese went floating after Tails and Cream.

"Alright everybody, let's do it to it!" said Sonic

MEANWHILE:

Bryan thought for a moment.

"Oh and it has huge walrus like tusks sticking out of it's lower jaw."

The artist looked at him.

"So you're saying this monster looks like this?"

The artist showed Bryan the picture.

"Yeah pretty much, but his face was a lot more mean looking than a normal turtles face. Angrier eyes and stuff like that."

"I see, I will make the necessary modifications," said the artist.

"Hey, Asagi, you said that you and Gamera were connected. Does that mean you'd be able to sense him if he were here in this dimension and on this planet with us?" asked Bryan.

"No. You see we lost contact some time ago. If we were still connected I could. But we're not so I can't," said Asagi.

"I see," said Bryan.

Bryan then thought to himself, Chris, I hope you're all right wherever you are right now.

MEANWHILE IN AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION:

"This is perfect. Absolutely perfect. With the power of these creatures at my side, I will rule Mobius and after that the whole galaxy!" said Dr. Eggman with an added evil laugh as he looked at the Gayos he had trapped in a giant cage.

"I must uncover its secrets and experiment with it's genetic structure. Perhaps I could use it's DNA to make even more powerful members of its species. Or even better, mix it with other DNA of other animals to make creatures that can swim under water or drill underground. With these types of creatures by my side, I will rule all of Mobius!" Dr. Eggman raised his arms as he let out an evil cackle.

MEANWHILE:

Tails set the X-Tornado down on the beach. Then he and Cream got out of the cockpit and beheld the site in front of them.

"Wow you weren't kidding, Tails. This place is very beautiful and those walls almost make it feel like we're cut off from the rest of the world. But I wouldn't want to be alone with anyone else on the planet other than you, Tails."

"And I feel the same way about you, Cream," said Tails.

"Chao, chao," said Cheese who was twirling around in the air before landing in Cream's warm and loving arms.

"Thank you for your warm words about our relationship together, Cheese. And we're both really happy to have you along with us, aren't we, Tails?" asked Cream.

"Absolutely, it's great to have you here with us, Cheese. You bring Cream and everybody else you're around happiness and that includes me," said Tails.

"Chao!" Cheese let out happily as he floated over into Tails's arms and rubbed the side of his head up against Tails like a cat, while Tails softly petted the top of Cheese's head.

Then Tails let him return to Cream's side. Tails pulled out a radio and pushed a button and then Bad Company's 'This could be the one' started playing over the speakers.

"Huh? What is that?" asked Cream.

"Do you like it? I found this thing on Coyote Ugly Island that is able to play music. It was small and silver. I listened to all the songs, and I liked them all. And...I thought this one was appropriate for the occasion. So the plugged that music machine into the radio," said Tails.

"It's beautiful," said Cream.

"Cream...,would you like to dance?" asked Tails.

"I would love to," said Cream.

So Tails started the song over and turned up the volume and then took Cream's hands and they started dancing to the sweet, soft melody of the power ballad. Cheese spun around the happy couple as they danced. Cream placed her head on Tails's chest and smiled as she closed her eyes trusting Tails knowing the wouldn't let anything happen to her. Tails looked down and smiled at Cream. Never before since Cosmo was around had he felt so good. It was like the weight of the world had been lifted off his shoulders. Just then as Cream decided to open her eyes and look up at Tails, they both tripped over a stray log. Tails fell onto his back, while Cream fell on top of Tails. They looked at each other and laughed a little. Then they looked deep into each others' eyes.

"Say we'll be happy forever Tails," said Cream.

"We'll be happy forever, Tails," said Tails.

Cream laughed. They were about to kiss when all of a sudden the ground underneath them started to shake.

"Tails what's going on?" asked Cream.

"A quake!"

"Chao, chao, chao, chao!" a very alarmed Cheese belted out as he helped Cream to her feet.

Tails and Cream both got to their feet, although the quaking almost made them fall back down.

"Run for the Tornado, Cream!" Tails shouted over the quaking.

Then Tails grabbed Cream's arm and they started running for The X-Tornado with Cheese right by their side. Along the way Cream reached out and grabbed the i-pod (which was the music machine in case you didn't realize) off the top of the radio. Tails first helped Cream into the cockpit then got in himself. Cheese took his place in Cream's lap and whimpered a little.

"Don't be scared, Cheese. We're going to make it out of this just fine. Look, we're taking off now," said Cream.

"Fasten up, 'cause we're taking off!" said Tails.

Once The X-Tornado was in the air Cream gave the i-pod back to Tails.

"You saved this?" asked Tails.

"Well you had just gotten it and I didn't think you deserved to lose it," said Cream.

"Thanks, Cream." said Tails.

"Tails, look down there!" Cream shouted and as she pointed toward the beach they just left.

Tails looked to see some sort of giant form coming out of the ground.

"It's...it's a shell!" Tails said in astonishment.

The shell was followed by a long tail. Then two arms. Then the head of a monster who had two long tusks coming out of it's lower jaw. The monster's eyes looked very mean. It shook off the sand on it's body. Then it let out a wailing short of sound as it lifted it's legs out of the sand.

"Tails, what is that thing?" Cream asked with obvious fear in her shaky voice.

"I...I don't know. It looks kind of like a big turtle, but meaner. But whatever it is, we've got to get back to Mobotropolis and warn them of this new monster," said Tails.

"Look!" Cream shouted as the turtle sucked it's head, arms, legs and tail into it's shell.

Then it's shell started spinning as blue fire escaped from the arm and leg holes. The now levitating shell flew away as Tails flew The X-Tornado back toward Mobotropolis.
