Here's chapter 63. This chapter focuses only on the characters of Zootopia and Sonic.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city; Nick, Judy, Jack, and Finnick had walked out with Nicole and Jerry. They were heading to Tokyo Summer Land. Although Stu, Bonnie, and Mrs. Wilde had been asked to come along, they said they'd rather rest for the day, but hoped they'd have some fun. Since Jack had been to that water park before, he still remembered the address where he was. When they finally got a view of the place, Jack was surprised, as it was much larger than he remembered. Seeing the others, they had the same surprised expression, although in their case because they had never seen a water park before. While the children's expression was one of astonishment more than anything. Since they were eager to see the fun that awaited them in there.
Once they got closer, they saw that there was a line to get in, it wasn't as long as you might expect in those kinds of places, but there were more people than they would have expected. They still wouldn't be in such a long line either. They stood in line and waited about 15 minutes, until they finally arrived at the place to pay the entrance to the place. It was a place where there were several pools, some with slides and others without. There was a roller coaster, a ferris wheel, and an area where they could eat. The children were wide-eyed with excitement, the expressions on their faces spoke volumes. They were happy to be in that place. If it wasn't for Judy grabbing both of their hands, they would have already jumped into the pool without first changing their clothes. She wouldn't have been surprised if they had tried it in this situation.
Finally they decided to go change, Finnick brought the backpack where their swimsuits were, so he handed one to each of them. And they went to the locker room. Judy went over to the two child to help them change. It didn't take them long before they finally came out and handed their regular clothes over to Finnick to put it in his backpack. They then handed the backpack over to a caretaker to look after it while they were here. All the boys in the group were shirtless in their swimsuits. Nick was wearing aqua green pants; Judy was wearing a striped T-shirt in different shades of pink and greyish blue shorts; Jack wore black pants and could see all the scars he had on his chest, back and arms; Finnick was wearing red pants with purple stripes on both sides and he was also wearing a pair of sunglasses on his head; Nicole was wearing a pink one-piece swimsuit and still had the blue bun on her head; Jerry was wearing light blue pants.
Finally the group went to the nearest pool, one that was not too deep so that the children could get into it without drowning danger. The adults were the first to approach, with Nick and Finnick being the first to get into the water. After them entered Nicole and Jerry. Judy and Jack for the time being decided to sit on the edge of the pool with their feet in the water.
At first it was a quiet evening for the family, after a while Jack and Judy got in the water and joined Nick, Finnick, Nicole and Jerry. While there they saw other families swimming near them or in the other nearby pools, as well as other people who were riding the ferris wheel, or the roller coaster. They definitely needed moments like this very often, similar to what they had in the hot springs a few days ago with people relaxing and having fun, and not worrying that something bad was going to happen at the moment. However, a sudden little scream from several people put them on alert, at first they thought that something bad had just happened, but when they listened well, those screams were not of fear, but of emotion. When they looked up as much as they could, they realized why that was.
They were surprised that those who had just arrived at the water park were nothing more and nothing less than Sonic and the other mobians. Almost most of those who were there, came as they wanted to thank them for getting rid of Eggman the previous week, and for making everyone in the city feel safe, even several of them wanted to take pictures with them. For the inhabitants of Mobius (with the exception of Cosmo, Tikal, Shadow and the children) this was not new. It was a situation that they had experienced before, when they were on the other planet earth; though Sonic, Tails, and Amy went through this the most, Knuckles and Rouge on rare occasions. But they still tried to quickly end this, since the reason they came to this place was to relax as a family, it even cost them a lot, but they had managed to convince Shadow to come, although he still had an expression of few friends reflected in his face.
Once they finished taking photos with the others present, finally the group also went to put on swimsuits so they could get into the pool it didn't take them long. Like the inhabitants of Zootopia, all of the boys in the group were also shirtless in their swimsuits, and all had removed their regular shoes but kept their gloves on, with the exception of Cosmo and Flora who don't wear gloves, Knuckles wasn't wearing his hat either, and Tails wasn't wearing his pilot goggles or scarf either. Speed did keep wearing his electric guitar-shaped necklace, Amy her red headband on her head and Tikal the tiara on her forehead. Amy and Tikal kept the bracelets on their wrists as Shadow had the golden rings on his.
Regarding swimsuits: Sonic wore red pants, Amy a two-piece swimsuit consisting of a short shirt and a skirt red with yellow hearts (one identical to the one she had at home in her home dimension), Tails a blue pants, Cosmo a light green one-piece swimsuit, Knuckles a purple pants, Tikal a light blue one-piece swimsuit, Shadow a gray pants, Rouge a red two-piece swimsuit, Speed an orange pants, Flora a blue one-piece swimsuit, Alex a yellow pants, Locke II and Pachacamac II wore brown pants, Rutan wore black pants, Silver wore aquamarine pants, Jewel a yellow one-piece swimsuit.
It was curious that most of the male mobians were mostly naked or partially clothed, but for swimming in the pool they did wear swimsuit.
As the group approached the pool, they became aware of the three foxes and three rabbits in front of them, submerged in the water.
"Wow, what a coincidence that we met in this place" said Sonic when he saw the inhabitants of Zootopia.
"I agree with you, we didn't expect to see them here" Judy said when she saw the Mobius inhabitants.
"And what brings you here?" Tails asked curiously.
"Well, a few days ago we saw a sign in the city announcing that the water park was going to reopen. And the children wanted to come because we waited until today to come. And to you?" Nick said.
"After yesterday, and since we no longer had to hide, Ms. Gori suggested that we spend a relaxing day hanging out with the people of the city and she suggested that we come here" said Amy.
"Miss Gori and her friends came with you?" Jack asked.
"No. She and Ms. Washimi went out for a walk around the city and to relax a bit after a week of work. We don't know where in the city they are right now," replied Cosmo.
"On the other hand, we learned from Ms. Gori that Retsuko's father returned to town earlier today, so Retsuko, along with her mother, her grandmother, Haida, and their son Koka stayed home to have a family reunion with him," Knuckles said.
"And on the other hand Fenneko, Ookami and their daughter Hana we don't know what they are doing, we haven't contacted them all day, nor did we have any information about them. They must be resting too" said Tikal.
"Anyway, if something were to happen we could contact them. Right Shadow?" Rouge said.
Shadow simply crossed his arms without answering anything. He still wasn't happy to be there.
"Typical Shadow" said all the adult mobians at the same time.
At that moment, Nicole and Jerry approached Judy and began to whisper something in her ears. After this she approached the blue hedgehog.
"Sonic, I wanted to ask you if you and the others would like to stay with us, since Nicole and Jerry want to play with your children, is that okay with you?"
Sonic looked at his wife and his other friends. They nodded their heads, with the exception of Shadow who simply stayed in the same pose.
"Okay kids, go play with Nicole and Jerry" said Sonic looking at the 8 mobian childs.
They got into the pool one by one. Although in the case of Jewel she was being carried by her brother Rutan. Since she couldn't swim alone. After the children; Amy, Tails, Cosmo, Knuckles, Tikal and Rouge also entered. Being Sonic and Shadow the only ones left standing on the border.
Half an hour passed where the children had been having fun, there in the pool was an inflatable ball that the children had used to play volleyball. They had divided into two groups. On one side were Flora, Alex, Locke II, Pachacamac II and Rutan. On the other side were Speed, Silver, Nicole, Jerry. In order for the second team to have the same number of people as the first, Finnick would play with them as Nicole and Jerry asked him to and even made puppy dog eyes for him to play with them. In the end, Finnick agreed, he couldn't refuse every time they bombarded him with those eyes. At the moment the game was tied, and each team was refusing to give up the victory.
On the other hand, Nick and Knuckles who had taken a pair of round floats, were each lying on one of them as they relaxed in the sun. As they rested, Nick told Knuckles how he had changed his life between him when he was a con man to now being a cop. Knuckles on the other hand told him about what life was like for him being the guardian of Angel Island where both he and his family were in charge of protecting the master emerald as well as the island's inhabitants.
Near them Tails and Jack talking about the types of gadgets that Jack used in his missions, listening to the descriptions, Tails mentioned that he had invented similar gadgets in the past. Definitely if Tails was from this dimension, he would have been a great addition to the agency. What's more, with all the weapons and vehicle makers in the agency, including Agent Winters, Jack was sure that the two-tailed fox with the other gadget makers in the agency would make a great team if they came to work together.
Finally Judy was with Amy, Cosmo, Tikal, Rouge and Jewel (the latter was in her mother's arms). Each one recounted how their family life had been with each of their husbands (mates in Judy's case), and their respective children. They even told funny anecdotes that they had lived throughout their life. But while Judy was talking, she couldn't help but look at the shore where the blue hedgehog and the black hedgehog were still far from the others.
"By the way, I have a question. Why Sonic and Shadow aren't here with us in the water?" asked Judy.
"In Shadow's case, he doesn't like this kind of activities, he only came because we insisted" said Rouge.
"In Sonic's case, he's afraid of water," said Amy.
That last part left Judy in shock as she couldn't believe that a hero as brave as Sonic could be afraid of something like that.
"But why is he afraid of it?" asked the gray rabbit.
"We don't know, but he wasn't always like that, because when he was younger he knew how to swim and he did it very well. That was told to me by my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. But it was at some point when Sonic was separated from his siblings, and before I knew him that he had developed that fear. We never found out what happened, since he doesn't want to talk about it" said the pink hedgehog.
"Oh…it must have been pretty traumatic for him," Judy said.
"That's what we all believe, though that's not to say he doesn't outgrow his fear of water when someone needs him. Since he saved me twice from the water when we were both young" said Amy.
"Wow, so that part is very admirable of him. I would like to help him overcome his fear of water" said the gray rabbit, looking back at the hedgehog.
"Maybe we can all do it together" said the pink hedgehog.
At that moment Amy began to whisper the idea that she had in mind to the other girls, and later they would tell their other companions.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
