The sun has set and Sonic and Tails are still on the run from Chaos. They've entered a vast a forest a few hours away from the canyon bottom. They move swiftly in the dark, dodging trees, bushes and little bugs. Sonic and Tails stopped by a large tree that over looked a river that seemed to stretch for miles.

"That river seems to stretch for miles..." Tails whispered.

"Did we lose him Tails?" Sonic whispered.

"No." said a gargling voice. They turned around to see Chaos behind them.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" They yelled. They dashed of towards the river. Sonic got tangled in some vines and couldn't get them off his leg. Tails was ahead of him and jumped the wooden fence and went to a conveniently placed raft on the side of the river.

"Come on Sonic!" Tails yelled from the raft. Sonic was trying to untangle himself while still running. He leaped as high as he could over the fence, but only smashed into it. He tumbled down the hill and landed in from of the dock. "Hurry Sonic!" Sonic sat up and looked back. Chaos was running towards him with his arm in the shape of a sword.

"Man..." Still tangled in the vines, Sonic got back up and walked to the edge of the dock. The raft was already floating away. Tails motioned for him to jump, but Sonic just stood there, trying to figure out what he was trying to say.

"Ooo, tired fingers." Sonic said. "No, it's windy." Tails slapped his forehead. "There's a bug on your head! Wait! Timmy's stuck in the well?"

"Jump, you twit!"

"Oh..." Sonic hurled himself forward as much as he could, but ended up in the water. Tails sweatdropped. Bubbles came to the surface and Sonic emerged, flinging his blades back while taking a deep breath, (like in The Little Mermaid).

"Tails!" Sonic said, wide-eyed.

"What?"

"I got the vine off."

"Good! Get on!" Sonic climbed aboard the raft and shook himself off. Chaos skidded to a halt on the docks and gargled in his water tone. He turned around and headed down the road where he joined his other selves.

"When's the next crossing." Sonic asked standing up.

"2..." Tails responded.

"Two what? Two miles?"

"1..."

"Huh?" Sonic turned around just in time to get smacked in the head by a low bridge. Sonic fell off the raft and had to swim to it to get back on.

"Now we have five miles to Station Square." Tails said as Sonic got back on board.
