"This place makes to be for good business," Gruntilda Winkybunion rhymed as she stood before the Seaside Hill Train Station, her hands on her hips as she was in her new body from Nuts and Bolts, her skeleton still inside the jar. "I'll likely get good customers from this address!"
"Hurr, what do you plan to do here, Winkybunion?" Old King Coal asked from inside of Chuffy the train's boiler.
Gruntilda chuckled as she rubbed her hands together. "It's of no concern to you, you lump of coal. Running a new fortune telling tent here will net me a new role!"
"I'm unimpressed with your wager," OKC stated, with Gruntilda ignoring him as she continued scouting the tropical area.
"Do you feel like time is slipping through your fingers, unable to grasp it?" Rouge asked Shadow as they were both lying down on the smooth green grass, looking up at the clear blue sky.
Shadow scoffed as he shrugged. "A bit. But I mainly don't worry about it. It's nothing to be concerned of when there's so much to do, so much to see."
"True." Rouge agreed as she nodded her head. "I wonder when SEGA will use us in a non spin off again."
"Well, truth be told, Rouge, we were in Sonic Generations." Shadow pinpointed as he rolled his right hand about. "Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Omega..."
"Where is he, anyway?" Rouge asked as she turned her head to Shadow.
Several miles to the east on the Lost Palace racecourse, E-123 Omega was blasting various different sorts of badniks, getting his daily dose of robot wrecking.
