-15 years later-
We find three hedgehogs in the courtyard. One is blue, one is pink, and one is a perfect mix of the two colors. The pink hedgehog is Princess Annabelle, the blue one is Prince Augustus, and the bluish-purple one is Princess Victoria.
A slender rabbit approaches them. "Your parents need to see you."
The three hedgehogs follow the rabbit to the throne room.
-The throne room-
The rabbit leads the three hedgehogs into the throne room. Standing on the balcony are two hedgehogs and a fox. They were in deep conversation until they turn and look at the group.
The orange fox looks at the rabbit. "Thank you Cream."
Cream smiles and joins her husband. "You're welcome Miles. How are the children?"
Tails smiles. "Robert and William are at their archery and sword fighting lessons."
Cream nods and bows to the two hedgehogs. "King Sonic, Queen Amy Rose."
Sonic and Amy nod, and Sonic turns to Amy. "Alright Ames. It's time."
Sonic and Amy motion their children to them, and Amy frowns at them. "What do you have to say to Miles and Cream Prower?"
Annabelle, Augustus, and Victoria speak in unison. "We're sorry for ruining your forge and weaving room."
Tails and Cream look at Sonic, who stands over his teenage children. "How many times have you been told not to go in there?"
The two princesses and the prince look down at their feet in embarrassment. Sonic nods and sighs. "As much as I love you three, you broke the rules, and now you must face the punishment."
Three pairs of green eyes, one pair an emerald green shade belonging to Prince Augustus, look pleadingly at their father. "Please don't punish us."
King Sonic looks at Queen Amy, and she nods. Sonic turns back to his children. "I'm sorry, but I will do what I must."
He takes a breath and deals out the punishment. "Annabelle, you are to help clean the silverware after all meals for the next three months."
The pink hedgehog princess goes to say something, but Sonic stops her. "No, I'm not abusing my power. I'm just being a father."
He walks in front of Augustus. "Augustus, for the next three months you are to clean the horse stables, as well as whatever punishment Miles decides to add for ruining his forge."
The blue prince's eyes widen, but he says nothing. Sonic arrives at Victoria. "Victoria, the next three months for you are to be spent helping Cream clean and repair the linens and various other sewing tasks."
Victoria nods, and Amy joins her husband. "These are fair punishments, and they begin immediately."
Cream smiles and takes Victoria to the washing area. "I'm glad you're helping me, Princess. I have a lot to get done."
Augustus joins Tails in cleaning the stables, then goes to the forge to clean that up as Tails' personal punishment. After dinner that night, Annabelle was sent to the galley to help clean the silverware.
-Two weeks later-
Sonic receives a letter from Queen Sally Acorn from Acorn Castle. It reads: 'Dear King Sonic. I know we haven't seen eye to eye, but I just want to say that I hope your family survives Evil King Eggman's next attack. My soldiers barely defeated him, and I hope you can finally take him down.'
Sonic sighs. "I wish he'd give up already."
Throughout the years, Sonic and Eggman would battle constantly, and even passing this heated rivalry to their descendants. They are still battling to this very day, with no sign of ever slowing down.
