Kneecaps, Vector, Espio and Charmy were sitting on the table ready for dinner. But they had not eaten anything since they waited for Knuckles and Tikal returned. Since I had gone for a walk that afternoon and had not returned and all were worrying about them.
Suddenly everyone started to hear a few voices approaching the house. When the door opened they entered the house red echidna and orange echidna. After that they closed the door.
"Until finally you two go. I am hungry" Vector said as he held in his hands a fork and knife.
"And to you who invited them to dinner" Knuckles said a little surprised to see the crocodile and his two friends sitting at the table.
"I was, by way of thanks for making purchases" Kneecaps said.
Knuckles frowned at that. Just hours ago he had returned to leave home after a week of confinement and now they were all stuck there as if they owned the house. But he decided to keep quiet so as not to start a fight like that morning.
"And, what's for dinner?" Tikal asked timidly.
"Good for dinner today bought ham, salad and pizza" replied Espio.
"And for dessert I bought a strawberry cake" Charmy said as he pulled out of nowhere a box that had been hiding all the time.
"I told you did not buy that. No wonder more money than we had planned was spent" Vector said.
At that moment the crocodile and the bee began discussing causing everyone else to leave them a drop of sweat on his head.
"Now calm down the two. If you want to discuss leaving my house now" Knuckles said losing patience.
"We're fine. The feel" Vector and Charmy said in unison and were silent.
After that Knuckles and Tikal sat at the table next to each other and everyone started to dinner.
While they were eating orange echidna had problems with silverware and did not know what it was for everything, so the red echidna helping you to use.
"And Tell us, how did you do on your ride?" asked Kneecaps to Knuckles and Tikal.
"It went very well. I met many interesting places in the kingdom" said Orange echidna.
"So you knew everything?" Charmy asked.
"Most. But there are some places which do not pass, Knuckles told me that one of those places brought back bad memories and why not go out there".
"No wonder that after what happened there" said Kneecaps.
"What was what happened there?".
"Now is not very good time to tell you, because we are not recovering from it. But soon we'll tell you" Espio said to not go into details of what happened a week ago.
Tikal wanted to know more, but decided not to ask.
"I have a question, why you were delayed about two hours at the supermarket?" asked Kneecaps to Vector, Espio and Charmy.
"I just saved some people from the band that was being sought for three years" said the crocodile proudly.
"You rescued those people that band and survived?" Knuckles asked very surprised.
"Yes, and that band will not be a problem because they are all dead" replied Charmy.
"You killed them?" asked Kneecaps.
"Yes, and received the help of Sonia" said Espio.
"Sonia? No assumes she is dead" said the two brothers echidnas.
"It's not who you think. Sonia is a magenta hedgehog and pink spikes we met today. She helped us" Espio said, blushing at the memory.
"And it seems to you like that girl" Knuckles said jokingly.
"Stop talking nonsense. That's not true. Just knowing I have a few hours" the chameleon said turning completely red.
"No it was not true" said Vector.
"I'll get some water for everyone. Then again" he said getting up and going towards the kitchen.
After a minute everyone else had finished dinner and were ready for dessert, which was the strawberry cake. But when you open the box they noticed that missing half the cake.
Charmy suddenly started flying from side to side as he did as a child, having finished eating half as much sugar cake and led it back hyperactive. Seeing that Vector, Knuckles and Kneecaps tried to catch him, but flew so fast that they succeeded and all I got was crashing against each other.
Just then Espio reentered the room with a pitcher of water in his hands and watched as Charmy flying towards him unable to stop. The bee crashed chameleon who accidentally dropped the jar; this flew through air and water that was in it spilled over Tikal, leaving her completely soaked.
Everyone was in shock to see it wet. They were afraid of how he would react to this.
The orange echidna lowered his head. Everyone thought she was going to mourn for what had just happen. But this started laughing out loud, leaving them all very puzzled.
Vector approached Tikal and asked "Are you okay? Why are you laughing?".
"For all this to happen eventually was fun, never thought I saw something funny".
All present breathed a sigh of relief that she had taken things very well.
"You better change your clothes, but you'll catch cold" he said Kneecaps to Tikal.
"Okay, but where I can find dry clothes".
"Come with me, luckily I have something saved you can get" Knuckles said.
Both left the room, while others set out to clean up the mess.
After receiving the clothes, Tikal was to change the toilet. Knuckles stood outside waiting for her when she handed out wet clothes so he could go dry.
Suddenly the red echidna mind began to disclose what might be doing in the bathroom orange echidna. For a moment it crossed his mind an image of her naked after getting removed his clothes and his body wet because of water that had fallen on him as if he had finished bathing.
When Knuckles reacted felt a drop of blood coming from his nose after having thought about it. He quickly wiped it without knowing why these ideas passed through his mind, if we just had a week of mourning.
"I'm ready, how do I look?" Tikal said out of the bathroom wearing the clothes they had run out of paying.
She wore a sleeveless light blue which had a lock on the front, blue shorts and gray shoes that reached to the ankles of the same color pants. Other than that I was still wearing her tiara, white gloves and blue bracelets.
"You look perfect. It's the same size as you see" Knuckles said.
"Thanks. I really like these clothes. De, who is it?".
"It was my wife. Her favorite clothes actually".
"Are you married?".
"Something like that".
"How do you call it?".
"Julie-Su".
"She will not mind if you use this".
"I do not think so".
"I'd like to meet your wife, I know that both of us would bear us well".
"That will not be possible".
"Why not?".
"Unfortunately Julie-Su, along with my daughter Lara-Su died last week" said the red echidna looking down.
"Sorry. I do not know" said orange echidna while giving a hug to comfort.
After about two minutes both finally stopped hug.
"You better get back to the room with the others. I'll go put your clothes in the dryer" Knuckles said.
"Okay" said Tikal and as she walked away she said to herself. "Poor thing. For some reason I know what he must be feeling right now".
...
King Sonic, Tails, Amy and Cosmo were about to dinner at the house of the fox. And the four were sitting at the table and had a large tray with lots of chillidogs in it.
"I've never tried one of these before" Cosmo said as he took one of the chillidogs.
"Then you've lost a lot" said Sonic as he took five chillidogs at a time.
"You never change" Amy said as she watched the blue hedgehog.
"At least he is already recovering his usual humor" Tails himself stated in his mind.
Suddenly the blue hedgehog and the fox got up from the table and went to look in the kitchen four cans of soda that were stored in the refrigerator.
The pink hedgehog and seedrian stood talking for a while in the dining room.
"Tails was very kind to invite us both to stay here" Cosmo said.
"Yes. Maybe he did because he and Sonic must feel very alone" Amy said.
"It's true. Losing their families in this way must have been a blow to them".
"I also hope that Knuckles, Vector and Espio are well after what happened".
"You do not think that's a coincidence or if".
"What do you mean Cosmo?".
"Amy, you told me that all your friends defended the planet from many villains more than 30 years ago".
"Yes, I was part of the group. But I want to say about that".
"You do not think a villain that you are beaten on several occasions has been hiding all these years and has planned his revenge".
"I do not think so. I heard that during the brutal rule of King Shadow all were killed. I do not think anyone has been alive".
"If you say so".
Suddenly Sonic and Tails returned with four orange soda.
"From. What talked while we were away?" asked the blue hedgehog.
"Nothing, just girly things" said the pink hedgehog.
"You know: Clothing, shoes, makeup" said seedrian.
"Well, that seems to you two if tomorrow we visit our friends" Tails said.
"Looks good to me. Long time I've seen and want to know what happened to them over the years" Amy said.
"I also agree. I want to meet all those people of which Amy has told me so much" Cosmo said.
"Then it's decided. Tomorrow at noon we will see them" said the Sonic.
An hour after having finished dinner everyone went to sleep. The house had three bedrooms: Tails using his own. King Sonic was on the second. Amy and Cosmo were in the past.
Tails was in her room, unable to sleep. Every night was lonely and all those days that passed he mourned for his wife Mina and her children Melody and Skye himself to sleep. That night was no exception.
Sonic went through the same situation. But he went worse, he always slept with her crown, necklace and wedding ring that had belonged to Sally. It was all that was left of her and had become very possessive of those things.
Amy and Cosmo heard the sobs from his room and began to feel very sorry for them. All they could do was wait until eventually the pain they felt was decreasing gradually to disappear.
...
In the meantime
In the depths of the ruins of Castle of Mobius large golden ring appeared from nowhere and out came the beings who destroyed the place. These were: Scourge The Hedgehog, Fiona Fox, Dr. Finitevus, Nack The Weasel and Snively Robotnik.
The five were entering the catacombs Castle of Mobius looking for two objects that serve them to conquer the whole planet once and for all: The Anarchy Beryl Bomb and E-107 robot Theta.
That group had found Tikhaos few months ago and to become completely evil had to erase their memories. After that they had to separate Tikal to Chaos for good and pacifist part of it does not stand in their plans.
Arriving at your destination smiled mischievously to find the two objects sought after opening another ring and sent them to their secret base, which was the Space Colony ARK.
The plan was coming as they planned and dreams of conquest were just around the corner, it was only a matter of time to carry out. After that the five crossed the ring and this disappeared into thin air without a trace.
