At the school lab, Tails takes out his plans for a Dimensionator and reveals them to Tatsuya.
Tatsuya: We're going to need a quantum energy cube if we're going to succeed.
Tails: Those things are very expensive. But it's the only way me and Sonic can get back home.
Tatsuya: I will take care of that. For now, let's focus on putting everything else together.
Tails: Right.
They start working on putting things together. A while later, a woman walks in to greet Tatsuya.
Tatsuya: Miss Fujibayashi.
Kyouko: Hello Tatsuya. I've heard word about a... cartoon hedgehog and fox appearing out of nowhere in the city? There are people raising concerns about that.
Tails: Uh, hi.
Kyouko: What?!
Tatsuya: There's nothing to be alarmed about. They're both friends.
Kyouko: Hmm. He doesn't seem to be a machine.
Tails: Uh, of course I'm not. I'm a fox.
The curious Kyouko investigates the fox.
Kyouko: Fluffy foxy ears... Two tails... Interesting. Very cute as well.
Tails: H-Hey! Stop that! I'm not an experiment or a stuffed animal!
Kyouko: Sorry. I couldn't resist because you just looked too adorable. My name is Kyouko Fujibayashi. I'm a friend if Shiba's.
Tails: I'm Tails. And basically, me and Tatsuya are working on a machine that can take me and my friend Sonic back home.
Kyouko: Sonic? You mean the hedgehog that appeared with you?
Tails: Yeah. We're from another dimension, and there are problems we have to deal with back there.
Kyouko: Another dimension? That explains a lot. Where's your friend now?
Tails: He's hanging out with Erika right now. Apparently she asked him out for a day.
Kyouko: Wow.
Tails: I know. If Amy was here, Sonic would be dead.
Kyouko: Oh, and he's got a girlfriend too? That's a big plot twist.
Tails: Kinda.
People started getting to know Sonic and Tails better since they've been in that world for a few days now. Some folks around the country raised suspicions since they're from another dimension, but others thought of them as good people.
Sonic: So where are we stopping first?
Erika: We're gonna do some clothes shopping. I need an honest mans opinion.
Sonic: Wait. You want my opinion?
Erika: Yeah. I just want an opinion, that's all. You up for it?
Sonic: I guess?
Sonic and Erika go clothes shopping. Though Sonic himself didn't feel comfortable about being in a lady's section with him being the only guy.
Sonic: (Man. I wish Tails was here, but he's working on that machine with Tatsuya.)
Teenage Girl A: Hey. That's the cartoon hedgehog that people have been talking about, right?
Teenage Girl B: Wow. It is. And he's on a date with that red haired girl. Is she a first high student?
Sonic: I'm definitely drawing attention.
Erika: Aww you'll be okay.
So then Erika heads to the changing rooms to try on a red dress and walks out to show it to Sonic.
Erika: So? How to I look?
Sonic: Uh, you look great.
Erika: You don't seem excited.
Sonic: Well, this is the first time I've gone clothes shopping with a girl.
Erika: Didn't you and Amy go shopping together?
Sonic: All we ever do is watch movies and have lunch.
Erika: Oh.
Two girls walk up to Sonic and start petting him.
Teenage Girl C: Wow! He's so cute and fluffy!
Teenage Girl D: I know!
Sonic: Woah! Woah woah! What are you doing?!
Erika: They're admiring you! You're so cute!
Erika joins in.
Sonic: Come on! I'm not cute! I'm cool! Also, I'm not a stuffed animal!
They pinch his cheek too.
Erika: With chubby cheeks.
Sonic: Stop it!
Once they were done and finished paying for their stuff, they walk out. Erika walks out with a shopping bag, and Sonic walks out wearing a SEGA hoodie.
Erika: You're looking pretty fly.
Sonic: That's what I am.
Erika: So what's your favorite food.
Sonic: Oh that's an easy question.
They go and get chili dogs.
Sonic: THIS is my favorite food.
Erika: I never would have guessed. Haha.
Sonic: Me and Tails would always get chili dogs. They're so good.
Erika: I can tell. Haha.
?: You two seem to be having a good time.
Sonic: Huh?
Miyuki walks up to them.
Sonic: Oh hey Miyuki.
Erika: What's up?
Miyuki: I was getting some refreshments for Tails and Big Brother. They're going to need to stay hydrated since they're working on a big machine like that. I like your hoodie by the way, Sonic.
Sonic: Oh thanks. It's pretty cool if you ask me. And yeah. Gotta make sure the engineers stay healthy.
Everyone: Ahhhh!
?: Hand over the money!
They see what appears to be a thug attempting to rob a shop with a rifle.
Thug: Hand them over and nobody gets hurt!
Miyuki and Erika take out their CADS, but Sonic stops them.
Sonic: Don't worry. I got this.
The blue hedgehog runs really fast right behind him. He taps the thugs back.
Thug: Huh? What the heck? You some kind of cartoon hedgehog or something?
Sonic: You got a problem with cartoon?
The thug points his rifle at Sonic and shoots at him.
Thug: Hah! You can't beat...
He's not there.
Thug: What?! Where'd you go?!
Sonic: Behind you.
Thug: What?!
He looks behind him and he's not there.
Thug: This some kind of game?! Where are you?!
Sonic: Comin at you at full speed!
Sonic uses his spin dash to knock the thug down.
Thug: Why you!
He points his rifle at the hedgehog, but with his fast reaction time, Sonic kicks the rifle out of his hands.
Sonic: Nope! You're down!
Authorities take the thug in.
Store Clerk: Thank you so much. I don't think you're a bad person after all.
Sonic: I'm just a nice guy that helps out when I see trouble.
Erika: That was awesome.
Miyuki: It looked really funny but you beat him. Well done.
Sonic: Aww shucks.
After Erika heads back home, Sonic and Miyuki head over to the school lab to check on Tatsuya and Tails.
Sonic: So how's it going with the machine?
Tails: So far so good. There are still a few more parts left to put in, and then we need a quantum energy cube. Woah! Nice hoodie, Sonic!
Sonic: Thanks. I got it when I went shopping with Erika.
Tails: Nice.
Miyuki: We brought refreshments for you both.
Tatsuya: Thank you, Miyuki.
Tails: Thanks. So what did you guys do today?
Sonic: Me and Erika did some shopping, grabbed a bite to eat, ran into Miyuki, and I beat a thug that tried to rob a store.
Tails: Cool.
Tatsuya: We should be finished with everything else very soon. Then, all we need left is the quantum energy cube. They're expensive, but I know where to get one.
Sonic: Well, then we'll leave that to you Tatsuya.
Miyuki: But when you two head back to your dimension, will we be able to see you again?
Tails: Of course. We have the dimensionator here so we can see each other any time we want.
Sonic: Yeah. And maybe when you guys come on over, we can show you guys around South Island.
Tatsuya: That would be great, Sonic.
Miyuki: We'd love to see what your world is like.
Sonic: But we gotta worry about this first, stop Eggman, and take back South Island. So let's hurry and get this finished up.
