Silver The Hedgehog and Toadette were in the Ocean Ruins race course, wondering what to do as they approached the underwater tunnel nearby. The two were conflicted, as neither of them wanted to feel claustrophobic.
"I don't know, I'm not in the mood to be under water," Silver admitted as he wrapped his arms around the back of his head, tilting his head back and forth.
Toadette held her hands together as she turned to Silver. "I don't wanna get wet either in case something bad happens, but I just wanna check to see if that big blue whale is there." She shivered as she trembled with fright. "But, those glass tubes look like they could crack at any moment..."
As the two continued debating whether or not to continue on, the ground below them collapsed into the salty sea water, causing Silver and Toadette to throw a panic and they frantically splashed about, calling for help even though they could swim perfectly fine. Shadow and Omega were on their own little walk as they noticed Silver and Toadette flailing about in the water, glancing at each other awkwardly and turning away as they whistled, ignoring the pleas for help.
