Silver The Hedgehog, Vector The Crocodile, Space Ghost, Espio The Chameleon, and Charmy were all in the Pizza Hut, having finished the day's work as Toadette headed out with a fresh box of pizza for herself. Shadow The Hedgehog was there was well, playing poker with Silver, Vector, Space Ghost, and Espio, while Charmy simply watched, munching on several pizzas he made for the group. The six characters were all on the second floor, with Knuckles on the first floor, sleeping on one of the Sugar Rush chair cabinets.

"Well, it's New Year's Eve." Space Ghost commented as he shifted through one of the cards, glancing back up, sitting next to Silver on the right and Vector on the left. "And what have you done?"

Shadow folded his arms together as he scoffed, being in between Silver on the left and Espio on the right. "Enough to last me for all eternity." He snarkly replied.

Space Ghost nodded in response as he murmured. "Good point. I feel this year has been grand, and that this eve will turn out well." He remarked, taking a slice.

Silver placed one of the cards down as he smiled. "Totally. That's pretty impressive, considering how long it took for it to finally show up."

"…Finally show up?" Charmy mumbled as he gulped his fifth slice of pizza down, burping loudly as he grabbed another, being in between Vector and Espio.

Vector rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Yeah. This year has been great, but it's really been quite a long, wild ride."

Space Ghost turned to Vector as he rubbed his chin curiously. "Well, how long have you been working here?"

Vector turned to Space Ghost as he wagged his left index finger. "Since 2006. Don't you remember?"

Awkward silence. Espio rubbed the back of his head as Charmy took another slice of pizza, munching on it quickly as he let out a tiny belch.

"Well, let's hope that 2013 will be even better!" Silver exclaimed, raising a toast with an empty glass, with everyone else except Charmy also raising their glasses, continuing their card game.
