"Westside Island, up ahead!" Tails announced to his passengers. They were approaching Westside Island. As they landed, they were greeted by Mighty the Armadillo, a resident of the island.
"Hey Knucks!" Mighty said in a welcoming tone. "It's good to see you Mighty!" Knuckles replied as they bumped fists. "So, your moving in here?" Mighty asked. "That's right" Knuckles told him.
"Well, now we'll be able to hang out more!"
"Yup, but not for a while. Rouge and I still need to move in"
"Whenever you have the time, I'll be ready."
As Rouge got off the plane, she felt the ground moving beneath her. She then felt it vibrating vigorously and fell over. She hit the ground and saw an orange and brown creature pop up from the ground. It looked at her for a minute before it spoke
"Who are you?" The creature asked.
"I'm Rouge the Bat, Knuckles' girlfriend." Rouge responded, getting up annoyed.
"Oh, I'm Sticks. Sticks the Badger!" Sticks said reaching her hand out for Rouge to ultimately shake. Sticks then observed the area around her and began to whisper to Rouge.
"Your not a government spy, are you?" She asked.
"Well, I used to be a-" Rouge started, before Sticks burrowed underground. She almost immediately emerged behind Knuckles' she tapped his leg and looked up at him.
"You have poor taste in women" Sticks said. Knuckles took offence and immediately went to smack her down, but as he did Sticks dug down and escaped.
"Dang jungle badger." Knuckles murmured under his breath as he got up. Rouge then walked over to him to join in the conversation he and Mighty we're having.
Tails was just finishing up locking up his plane when his watch went off. "Oh no, I'm late with my play date with Cream and Cheese!" He exclaimed. "Ray, could you help bring Knuckles and Rouge's luggage to their house?" "Sure thing, Tails! You can count on me!" Ray responded as Tails ran to Cream's house. Ray then began to load up Tails' wagon with all the luggage. When he was finished ,however, he was unable to move it. Mighty noticed his struggle and then began to aid him in moving the wagon, but to almost no avail. Knuckles then ran over, and to his surprise it started to move. "What can I do?" Rouge asked in a smart way. "You can sit on top if you want." Knuckles responded.
Tails was running faster than ever to get to Cream's house. He looked down at his watch. 2:01.
"Oh no!" Tails said, running faster than ever. A few seconds later, he arrived at the house. To his surprise, Cream and Cheese we're at the front door, awaiting Tails' arrival. "Oh, hello Tails." Cream said in a soft voice. "Hi Cream!" Tails said excitingly. "Omega was here an hour earlier. He gave me an early birthday present." Cream told Tails as she ushered him into her house. "He got me a Sega Genesis with a motorcycle game."
"Wow!" Tails said.
"Come on, Mommy just set it up!"
