Silver woke up to the bright light of the sun hitting his eyes. He rolled over and reminisced over last nights events. He hugged his stuffed Chao close, remembering those words his mother had yelled at him. He then had an idea. He put his Chao on his bed and picked up his piggy bank. He put it inside his backpack and went downstairs.
"Good morning Silver." His father said, sipping his cup of coffee.
"Hi Daddy." Silver responded.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm just going to see my friends."
"Hey, take this!"
Sonic tossed him a soda, then a pack of chips. Silver caught both of these and put them into his backpack.
"Have a good time!"
"OK Daddy, I will."
As Silver walked out, Sonic grabbed his phone and texted Knuckles.
Hey Knuckles. Silver's going
out with his friends today.
Could you keep an eye on him?
I can pay you.
Sure. How much?
Thanks Knux!
Is 50 rings OK?
Yes. I'll watch him.
"Hello?" Dr. Eggman said,opening up his door. He looked down and saw a smiling Silver.
"Hello Dr. Eggman. Can Eggman Nega come out to play?" Silver asked politely.
"Why of course! Nega!"
Eggman Nega came running to the door.
"Yes Daddy?" He asked.
"Silver was wondering if you wanted to come out to play."
"OK! Let me get my shoes on first."
"Have a good time!"
"What are we going to do toady, Silver?"
"I'll tell you when everyone else is here!" Silver said, heading over to his other friends house.
"Hello Silver!" Pearly the Manta Ray said, running up and hugging Silver.
"Silver, is she your girlfriend?" Cream asked curiously, followed by the snickering of Charmy and Eggman Nega.
"N-no!" Silver said, blushing.
"But, I am-" Pearly began, before Silver whispering something into her ear.
"Oh yeah, I'm not his girlfriend." Pearly said. Cream walked over to Silver and whispered:
"It's OK, I won't make fun of you." Silver thanked her and they set off.
"Hey, just where are we going?" Charmy asked, buzzing around the quartet.
"We're going to the Aquatic Ruin." Silver said in a chirpy voice.
"Pardon me Silver, but just why are we going there?" Eggman Nega asked politely.
"Well, there's talk of a lemur who makes jewellery for free, so long as you provide the materials."
"Wow Silver, you must have done a lot of studying up on this." Cream told him.
As they walked deep into the Hill Top area of the island, they reached their destination.
"Here we are, the Mystic Caves." Silver stated. "Pearly and Charmy, I need you to stay out here, just in case of a land slide, so you guys can get help."
"OK Silver, we'll stay put here!" Charmy said, mock-saluting him.
"Nega I need your flashlight to guide us into the cave, and Cream, I need your help to find pink gold."
"I'll be at your assistance." Eggman Nega told Silver.
"I'll help you find that pink gold." Cream responded, as they departed into the cave.
"How are you going to mine that gold, though?" Knuckles said, walking up the the quintet.
"Hello Knuckles." Cream politely said.
"I'll go into that cave with you, and help you find that piece of gold you're after."
"Thanks Knuckles!" Silver said, thanking him sincerely as they entered the cave.
"Silver, this piece of jewellery isn't for Pearly, is it?" Cream asked Silver.
"No, but come to think of it I should try and find a piece of silver to make her a ring." Silver responded.
"Like this." Knuckles said, picking up a piece of silver, no bigger that a tennis ball.
"Whoa, thanks Knuckles!" Silver said, putting the ingot in his backpack.
"I should probably pick up something for Mommy. You'll help me mine it, won't you Knuckles?" Cream asked.
"Of course I will." He responded.
"Look, over there!" Eggman Nega said, pointing to a light pink metal. Silver ran over to it and scratched it with his nail.
"It's pink gold!" He exclaimed, ushering Knuckles over to mine it. When he pulled it out, it was bigger than he had expected.
"Cream, you can have half of this to make something for your mother, like a necklace or a broach."
Silver told the young rabbit.
"Why thank you Tails." Cream said, hugging him with all his might. They then departed to the surface to see Charmy flying Pearly around. Charmy landed safely with Pearly intact, as they then ventured onwards.
