A TV turns on to a news broadcast; a man and woman in a suit adjust a set of papers as they begin to talk about the most recent news, the disappearance of West Island.

News Guy: "Hello and welcome to Station Square News! I'm Dane Propella."

News Girl: "And I'm Ophelia Jones."

Dane: "Today's news comes from a shocking discovery that still perplexes many a townsfolk. West Island, known for being a fairly popular vacation and gambling site, has disappeared. People who were on a cruise ship going to the island reported that when they arrived, there was nothing but a large spot of endless ocean."

Ophelia: "We are still trying to figure out the mystery behind this mysterious disappearance, but some fisherman claim feeling unusual shockwaves disturbing the ocean coming from West Island, followed by a bright light."

The TV turns off as the reflective surface shows a girl sitting on a sofa, a wheelchair beside her. Long blonde hair tied into a ponytail by a blue bow. She wore a very long, short sleeve gown, which had more teal color to it. She places down the remote before a knock at the door catches her attention. A humanoid figure then approaches; a puppet-like robot made entirely of some kind of synthetic metal that gave an almost uncanny look. The puppet-like robot was tall, with two sets of arms - one large set that ended with sharp, deadly claws, and another more normal set which were harmless. The robot wore a long purple dress, a white collar around her neck, and some form of headdress that resembled a crown. Her face was, as to be expected of a puppet, had empty eyes and a rectangle mouth. Despite the empty eyes, the robot turned to the girl, quietly awaiting orders.

Girl: "Oh Mary. You don't need me to tell you to invite whoever is here inside. Just try not to scare them."

The puppet simply stares before moving to the front door. Opening it, she lowers her head to see a Mobian bee boy. One with aviator headgear and a lot of energy.

Bee: "Hey hey! Charmy here! Hiya, Mary! Is Amelia here?"

Girl: "I'm here!"

The girl, named Amelia, calls from the adjacent room. Charmy gets invited in by Mary as the two pass by a picture frame, not acknowledging it. The frame was the same one seen in Jenni's office, revealing that this Amelia is her daughter. Charmy buzzes around the room as Amelia follows him with her eyes.

Amelia: "Hi, Charmy. What're you up to?"

Charmy: "I was just flying in the area! Station Square has gotten quite busy after that new train has been built!"

Amelia: "Oh? What kind of new train? You mean a new destination?"

Charmy: "Yeah! The Mystic Ruins! Wanna go see?"

Amelia thinks for a moment before shrugging. She manages to use her arms to hop herself onto her wheelchair. She then turns to Charmy with a smile.

Amelia: "Alright. But won't Miss Topaz be looking for you?"

Charmy: "Nah. She's way too busy on her police patrol to notice!"

Amelia doubts that right away, but she shrugs. Mary walks behind Amelia and uses her normal hands to grab the wheelchair handles. As the trio exit the building - a modest apartment with two floors and plenty of space for more than two people - Charmy begins to make small talk.

Charmy: "So Amelia? Did you hear about the disappearance of West Island? Spooky, right? What do you think? Huh? Huh?"

Amelia: "One question at a time, Charmy. And my thoughts are… worried… My mom was on that island and… Well… I'd be lying if I wasn't a little worried about her…"

Charmy: "Oh yeah. Lying is bad. Oh, and the other thing. Maybe both."

Amelia just gives a light sigh at that; Charmy being such a young bee doesn't really have the same sort of worries as she did. Her mind trails off as Charmy just blabbered on.

Just a month after Amelia was born, a younger, healthier looking Jenni is seen carrying the young baby as Uncle Chuck is seen piloting a traveling airplane.

Uncle Chuck: "I must say, Jenni. Had I known you'd bring your daughter along, I'd convince Bernie to pay you double."

Jenni: "Charles, I'm doing this for free. And besides, Amelia was just brought into this world… And with her, I have more reason to work on a cure for my condition."

Uncle Chuck: "And we will together. You, me, and Ivo."

The baby Amelia starts to cry out, causing Jenni to place a binky into her mouth to calm her down.

Jenni: "There, there. Once we're at the Kingdom of Ice, we'll make you a fresh bottle so you can eat."

Uncle Chuck couldn't help but smile, seeing this side of Jenni. The plane soon lands at the airstrip. A protective heat dome is activated in order to keep Amelia, as well as the adults, warm as they travel to the castle. Once there, Jenni is met by Bernie, Aleena, and Jules, who greet her with a respectful curtsy and bow. Jenni gives as much of a bow as she could.

Aleena: "Welcome to our humble home, Doctor Jennifer. Charles has told me a lot about you."

Jenni: "Please, your majesty. Call me Jen or Jenni. Oh and this is my daughter, Amelia."

Bernie and Aleena couldn't help but look at the infant with genuine delight.

Bernie: "Goodness, did you just have her? She's so tiny!"

Jenni: "She's only a month old."

Jules: "Wow… I wonder if she's tough like her mom?"

Jules places a finger on Amelia's palm, letting her squeeze his finger. This made him chuckle as Amelia seemed curious.

Jenni: "So where's the kid I'm looking after?"

Aleena: "Hiding."

Aleena looks over towards a hiding blue hedgehog, a much younger Sonic the Hedgehog. He approaches slowly, looking up at Jenni with a bit of nervousness and curiosity.

Jenni: "Hello. Are you Sonic?"

Sonic: "Y-Yeah…"

Jenni: "Hmm… You look more like a Spike to me."

Sonic: "H-Hey! I'm not Spike, I'm Sonic!"

Jenni: "You're certainly spiky to me."

Jenni laughs as Sonic pouts. He then locks eyes with Amelia, looking at her with interest.

Sonic: "Is… Is that your kid?"

Jenni: "Yes. Her name is Amelia, my pride and joy. Would you like to hold her?"

Sonic: "C-Can I, Mom?"

Bernie: "Only if you be careful."

Jenni smiles before handing Amelia to Sonic. The baby stares at Sonic as the latter held her.

Sonic: "Uh… H-Hi. I'm Sonic."

Amelia looks at Sonic, suckling on her binky a bit before grabbing at his nose. Not squeezing, but more just feeling it. Sonic just smiled and let her, starting a brand new friendship.

Years later, an incident involving a bomb at Amelia's local school left her tragically injured, especially after a piece of debris landed on her legs. Though memories of this incident were vague, the results were clear… She would never be able to walk again. At a very young age, she was made wheelchair bound. And not long after, her mother would be exiled out of human society, putting Amelia in the care of Jenni's friend from her own school days, Officer Topaz. Though now distant, mother and child still remained close. On one particular day, as she and Mary were out in Station Square enjoying the sea breeze, a lone honeycomb-like escape pod would wash up on the shores of Emerald Beach. Opening the pod revealed a baby bee, far from his parents. A strange experience for Amelia, this new companion, later named 'Charmy' for his natural charm, did give her the motivation to keep going despite her situation. With Charmy, she helped her feel less trapped, less bound. Though reality did sometimes sneak its way into her mind…

At the Mystic Ruins…

Charmy: "Hellooooo? Hey! Amelia! You haven't said anything all train ride! Did you pass out? Fall asleep?"

Charmy was buzzing around Amelia, trying to get any kind of response. Amelia then looked at him as she gave out the fakest possible yawn.

Amelia: "Oh sorry. I was just… thinking about what we could do that I must've fell asleep."

Charmy: "Aw, that's okay! Happens to the best of us! Say, we could play catch! Or maybe checkout the minecarts! Oh oh! Even better-"

Charmy's musings are drowned out as Amelia spotted smoke in the distance. Giving Mary an order, the ro-ppet lifts up the young girl by her wheelchair and jumps off the train platform.

Charmy: "Wh-Wait! Wait for bee! I mean, me!"

The bee flies down with Amelia, going with her as they approach the smoke stack. As the trio approach, they find some kind of destroyed… suit. And a person within the suit as well. Amelia looks a bit closer, putting her hands on her mouth as she sees… Snively, unconscious!

Amelia: "C-Colin!?"
