Back to Normal?

Abandoned Power Plant (Eggman's New Base):

Rouge turned to the others, "This is your new base? The place looks ready to fall down on us any minute."

Shadow continued to look around at the decaying turbines, "I certainly don't see why we're here, or why that man gave you the deed to this place in the first place."

Eggman's face developed a sour look, he took a deep breath before breathing, "Have either of you ever wondered how I am able to get resources for my plans so easily?"

Rouge looked around again before answering, "Not really, but I'm sure your going to tell us."

A wry grin crosses Eggman's face, "This plant was once powered by coal furnaces, coal is pure carbon, and so are Diamonds."

Rouge turned to Eggman faster than normal, "You mean you MAKE DIAMONDS?!?!"

Mystic Ruins (Old Airfield):

Amy picked up a part of an old ham radio from the floor, "Hey Tails, what do you want to do with this thing?"

Tails looked up from the Tornado 3, which he had pulled in once some space had been cleared, and pointed over to a small pile of electronics "Put over there Amy, I might be able to do something with it."

As Amy put the part into the pile indicated Knuckles set down a box of old things, "Hey Tails, why aren't you throwing out this stuff, most of it's junk anyways."

Tails picked up the box and put it in the back of the Tornado, "I know, but somebody might want it, even if it is just for the metal."

Sonic came down from upstairs, "The rooms upstairs weren't too bad, if you don't mind dust, and the antique look."

Tails pushed open the doors to the landing strip, "I'm going into Station Square to get rid of this stuff and pick up a few things, you guys could stay here if you want, it's been a while since anyone's slept."

Amy turned to Tails, "Are you sure?"

Tails nodded, "It's fine, go on, I'll be back in awhile."

With that he got in the Tornado and headed off for Station Square.

Station Square (Residential District):

Cream yawned as she walked down the street, Cheese sleeping on her shoulder peacefully as they headed for the shopping district in the morning light.

Her mother had sent her out to get some groceries and exercise so that she wouldn't sit in front of the TV all morning watching cartoons, not that Cream minded since her Saturday walks gave her a chance play around with Cheese.

Cream finally reached the park where she and Cheese played, she gently woke the Chao sleeping on her shoulder, "Cheese, wake up Cheese where here."

The Chao woke up and cooed as it took off of Cream's shoulder, then Cream began to run after Cheese, as she did she began to flap her ears, Cream took off.

Outside of Station Square:

Tails walked into Station Square carrying the box after parking the Tornado outside of the city, even if the police weren't after him for rescuing Sonic anymore he would rather not have to much attention, and a vehicle like the Tornado isn't that common.

After he had walked for a while an accented voice cried out, "Excuse me, you, over there, could I speak with you for a moment?"

Tails turned to the voice, it came from a thin man who was stepping out of the nearby building, the man puffed slightly as he finished rushing across the street, "Thank you for stopping, I almost thought that you were just going to keep walking. Um may I ask what you intend to do with the items in that box your carrying?"

Tails looked at the box then back to the man, "This stuff, well I was thinking about whether or not I could find someone who would want this stuff since most of it still seems pretty good and it'd be a waste to just throw it out."

The man looked very relieved, "It's a good thing I saw you then, you see I work for the Station Square museum and was to prepare an exhibit on recent history from the past hundred years, but I found that the their were no pieces for the exhibit, if your willing I'll take those items for you."

Tails smiled as he answered, "Really? It's alright with me, here, I'm just glad I don't have to throw it out."

With that Tails gave the man the box, as Tails began to leave the man stopped him, "Oh, before you go young man take this, I feel I need to give you something for your troubles."

The man then pushed some money into Tails' hand, "You don't…"

The man shook his head, "Keep it, as a reward young man, by the way my name is Arthur, may I ask yours?", he asked as he extended his hand.

Tails took Arthur's hand and shook it, "I'm Tails."

Arthur looked at Tails confused, "Tails?" That was when Arthur noticed Tails' unique appendage, "Oh, I see, well thank you for your help Tails, I hope we meet again some day."

Tails nodded, "I'd like that, well goodbye."

Arthur began to turn towards the building he had come from, "Goodbye."

With money in hand Tails continued to walk.

Station Square (Shopping District):

Cream finished paying the cashier for the groceries, "Thank you very much."

Carefully Cream picked up the bag of groceries, once she left the store she turned and walked to the side of the store, there she waited, "Alright Cheese, it's safe to come out now." She spoke as Cheese came out of hiding and landed on her shoulder.

As Cream turned to head home she accidentally walked straight into Tails who had just left the store.

Cream quickly got up and began to pick up her spilt groceries, "I'm sorry for running into you, I should have been more carefully."

Tails began to pick up the groceries he had also spilt, "No, It's alright, I should have been looking where I was going."

As they picked up their groceries both tried to pick up the same thing, their hands touched, with that they both looked up at who they had run into, and blushed.
