"...'Teria?' What the heck does that mean?" Jet asked, standing in confusion. "It's just something Sonic says sometimes when going into battle. I don't know where it came from." Silver replied. "Wait...You...And we're-!?" Jet said, suddenly noticing that he was no longer trapped in a white void...Or in a Time Eater's stomach. "This is where I was hiding out before I nabbed the trophy! How did we-!?"

"Take a look for yourself." Silver said, gesturing towards the track, where Lucy was coming out of a time portal as she won the race, with Sonic and Wave behind her. "AGAINST ALL ODDS, LUCY ALVERNAZ WINS THE TOURNAMENT!" came the announcement over the loudspeaker. "We're at the end of the last race." Jet said, somewhat in disbelief. "Yep, and it would seem that we're the only two who remember all that Time Eater stuff. The wonders of time travel." Silver said, floating in a reclined position with his hands behind his head. "Although...shifts like this never come without SOME kind of change..."

"Hey, where are the Time Stones?" A Glamor Chao yelled out, showing the trophy where indeed, the Time Stones were now missing. "Could Jet have taken them?" Sonic asked, looking around for any sign of the hawk. "That little...As if getting himself disqualified wasn't enough..." Wave started. "Hmm...No, it doesn't seem like he was responsible for this. Check out the security footage." Another Glamor Chao piped in, bringing the footage on screen, showing the Time Stones on the trophy begin to glow before fading away. "This lines up with some data we got while monitoring the timestream. The Bad Future disappeared from Little Planet right when this happened."

"So it was a natural thing...The planet healing or whatever...Alright, I'll buy that." Knuckles said, thoughtfully. "Well, at least the trophy still looks nice." Lucy said with a shrug. Everybody agreed as the awards ceremony resumed.

"Huh. Guess that answers that. Well, see ya!" Silver said as he started walking off. "Wait!" Jet called after him. "You seem like the type of guy who deals with this kind of stuff a lot, so I just gotta ask...What do I do now, knowing all this stuff that everybody else doesn't?" Silver seemed to pause for a moment at that, before finally shrugging and replying, "I guess you just make a better future."

"Of course I would, Amy!" Lucy said, excitedly. "If representing the Restoration in races will help out, I'm more than happy to add it to my sponsor list!" Desmond looked thoughtful beside her. "That's an awful lot of armbands to be wearing, though. All these new sponsorship offers coming in..."

"Maybe we ought to put them on her outfit, like those racecar drivers!" Bryce replied. "Maybe a jacket or a vest would do the trick?" Amy put a hand on her chin. "Hmm...I think I know someone who could tailor that..."

"Oh, great." Lucy said, looking behind her. Amy turned to see Jet walking over to Lucy with a grim look on his face. Desmond started trying to get in front of Lucy, but she stopped him. If Jet was gonna try and pick a fight, she would defend herself. Jet stopped right in front of her, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry."

"What?" Lucy asked, somewhat taken aback. "I...Was watching you during the race, and...It made me realize that I misjudged you. It also made me realize that wrecking your Gear in the last race was wrong of me, and for that, I apologize...If you'll take it, that is." Jet finished, as he extended his hand. Lucy seemed to take a moment to soak in Jet's words before accepting his hand shake. "Apology accepted. And hey, with all these new sponsorships, it shouldn't be too long before we can have a proper rematch, right?"

"Bet on it." Jet said with a smile, before one of the Glamor Chao floated over and handed him something no bigger than a grain of sand. Squinting VERY hard at it, the frantically moving speck in his palm began to look very familiar. "Storm!? What happened to him?"

"Oh, he got knocked back during one of the races and ran right into a shrink ray...And then another...And then another...And then-" The Glamor Chao began before Jet interrupted. "Yeah yeah, I get the picture. Do you have a GROWTH ray anywhere? I can't take him home like this!"

"Oh, they should all wear off in...A few seconds." The Glamor Chao stated before flying off. "Wait, a few-!?"

WHUMP

"OUR WORLD IS COMPRISED OF BILLIONS OF MICROORGANISMS, AND THEY WERE ALL TRYING TO KILL ME! I'll never forget to wash my hands again!" the now full-sized Storm screamed. "Good to know." Came Jet's muffled voice from underneath him. "Now could you please get off of me?"
