Comings & Goings

(Theme song - Pokemon Journeys: The Series (Season 23) - English Dub Opening)

(Abigail's POV)

It's been a week since Lacey and Mighty started dating. It's still surprise for all of us. Another thing that surprised all of us was that Rotor found the white Chaos Emerald in the mist of all the deconstruction of the Nanite City. They brought it back to New Mobotropolis & presented it to the Council of Acorn. The Council immediately made plans to keep the Emerald in the safe at Acorn Castle, but Tails' Uncle Merlin had other plans for it*

*Me, Huck (he was hanging on my shoulder), Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles all met Merlin in front Freedom HQ. Knuckles was holding a round green stone with a yellow star in the middle*

Tails: Uncle Merlin! Why do we need the Chaos Emerald?

Knuckles: And what do you need me and the Guiding Star Gem for?

Merlin: Patience, young ones. This old charlatan has one more trick up his sleeve. Namely, I'm going to make Tails' parents reappear.

Tails: Mom and Dad are coming back!?

Abigail: That's wonderful!

Huck: Chao-Chao!

*I've heard stories about Tails' parents. Tails' Father was a General in the Royal Army during the Great War. When Dr. Eggman conquered Old Mobotropolis, he was one of the many unfortunate Mobians captured & roboticized. Soon after Tails was born, he & his wife were transported off planet by aliens called "Bem". They deroboticized him & took them back to their home world. Sonic told me that he met them during his trip into space. They gave him a holographic message to give to Tails when he got back*

Merlin: All we need is something to open a path to the Ring World of Argentum and something to power such an incredible journey.

Knuckles: Hey, the Guiding Star Gem makes portals to distant lands, so . . . Oh, wait, I get it.

Abigail: But . . . Why do you want me & Huck to come along?

Huck: Chao-Chao?

Merlin: I thought this might be a good experience for your training. *we all sat in a circle around the Chaos Emerald. the Guiding Star Gem was sitting at the top. I put my other arm around Huck & we all put our hands on the Emerald* Knuckles, guide the energies for us. Tails, reach out with your heart and find them. I will help keep us intact. Sonic, Abigail . . . Hold on to something.

Sonic: Yeah, yeah. I wish I knew where Fiona was. She might've enjoyed this. *Huck & I closed our eyes & I felt myself being lifted off the ground & going really fast. When I opened my eyes, what I saw can only be described as a war zone. Buildings looked like they were ready for the wrecking ball & above us were spaceships blasting at each other* Holy - This is not how I left this place!

Knuckles: What happened here?

Tails: Oh no . . . Mom! Dad!

*He ran off with Merlin close behind him*

Merlin: Tails! Wait!

*Sonic looked up at the sky*

Sonic: Ooooh snap. Knuckles, Abby, do you guys recognize those spaceships?

*Knuckles & I both looked up saw something I hoped I'd never see again*

Abigail: The Xorda.

*Huck whimpered & shivered in fright in my arms*

Knuckles: I guess this explains why they haven't come back for us yet.

Sonic: Who are they fighting? Those aren't local Bem ships.

?:*off-screen* They're the Metarex.

*I turned around & saw a male brown fox with light blue eyes wearing a eyepatch, a torn blue & yellow uniform & blue boots. A female brown fox with light blue eyes wearing a torn blue & yellow dress. I could tell who they were right away*

Amadeus: And they are just as bad as the Xorda. They started fighting months ago and it doesn't look it they'll ever stop.

Rosemary: Hello, Sonic. Welcome back to what's left of the Ring-World.

Sonic: The Prowers! Hold that thought! *he ran off & came back with Tails & Merlin* Here we go! See what you missed, you spaz?

Rosemary:*hugging Merlin* Merlin!

Merlin: Rosemary . . . It's been so long.

Amadeus:*shaking his hand* I knew you'd come for us in time.

Merlin: I helped, but a great deal of the thanks goes to your son.

*Tails started to look a little nervous & hesitated. But Sonic pushed him foreword*

Sonic: Go on, you doof.

Abigail: It's gonna be okay.

Huck: Chao-Chao.

Tails: I'm goin', I'm goin' . . .

*He walked up to them & they all looked at each other surprised*

Amadeus: Our son . . .

*Rosemary knelt down & moved Tails bangs from his eyes*

Rosemary:*tears in her eyes* Miles . . . You're already so big and handsome.

Tails:*tears in his eyes* E-Everybody calls me Tails.

*They both kneeled down & pulled Tails into a hug*

Amadeus: Then "Tails" is is.

Rosemary: You're still our boy.

Tails: I'm never letting you go again!

*I wiped a tear from my eye*

Abigail: I love a happy ending.

Huck:*tearing up* Chao.

*Merlin then activated the Chaos Emerald & the Guiding Star Gem & we all headed for home*

*When we got back, Sonic, Tails, & Mr. & Mrs. Prower all went to Castle Acorn. Knuckles went back to the Chaotix. Me & Huck? We just headed home. After what happened today, all I wanted to do was spend time with my family. When I got there, Huck & I were surprised to find my Mom, Dad, & Grandpa sitting at the dining room table. On the table was a big fancy dinner. My Mom only goes all out when something big is going to happen in the family. I sat down & Huck sat next to me on the table*

Abigail: Okay. What's going on?

Huck: Chao?

Robert: W-What are you think something's going on?

Laura: It's okay, honey. We were planning on telling her anyway.

Abigail: Tell me what?

Huck: Chao-Chao?

Laura: You know how I haven't been feeling well these past few days?

Abigail: Yeah.

Huck: Chao.

Laura: Well, today I went to Doctor Quack for an examination and . . .

*She put her hand on her stomach & smiled tenderly*

Abigail: And what?

Huck: Chao-Chao?

Laura: I found out that your going to be a big sister.

My eyes went wide & I almost fell out of my chair*

Abigail: You . . You mean . . . ?

Laura: That's right. I'm going to have a baby in nine months.

*I was utterly speechless for about 30 seconds. I then jumped out of my chair (knocking it over), ran over to my parents, & hugged them. Huck joined in the hug, smiling*

Abigail: This is awesome! Will it be a boy or a girl?

Robert: It's too soon to tell. But, either way, I promise your Mother and I will love you as much as we love him or her.

Abigail: I know you will.

Huck: Chao.

Lawrence: Now, let's eat dinner before it gets cold.

*We all sat down & ate. And I was feeling like the happiest girl in the world*
