Sonic's main group of friends were in City Escape, right by the bay as they were looking southward towards the ocean.
"You know, I wonder where Sonic is." Tails commented as he had his hands on his hips.
Cream giggled as she bounced up and down with glee. "Don't worry, guys! I'm sure he's in a cool place."
Amy sighed as she frowned, placing her hands on her face. "I just wish that we went adventuring with him..."
Knuckles scoffed as he folded his arms together. "I don't. He steals my thunder."
Meanwhile, Sonic himself was still dashing on top of the water, heading eastward as he was wondering where the closest mass of land was.
