Recently, Sonic had started coming over to the airship that belonged to the Babylon Rogues. He would sneak into the window to Jet's room, and then sneak away without anyone noticing. However, Wave knew he was there because of the blue quills in Jet's clothes, and Storm would often hear Sonic laughing in Jet's room. Or maybe Storm was hearing things again.

Something clearly wasn't adding up. Whenever Wave would bring it up, Jet swore up and down that he didn't hang out with that slow poke, and that the quills were from when the two would race and get into fist fights because Sonic was being a sore loser (even though Jet was actually the sore loser).

Jet was off "racing" with Sonic one night while Wave was doing chores around the house. Storm opted not to help her, and instead watch the sports game on TV.

"You know, a little help from you wouldn't hurt," Wave said, dusting the living room in a butler outfit.

"I told you, the maid dress isn't my size," Storm said. "And I already did the laundry this week."

Cut to the washing machine overflowing with soap suds because Storm used too much detergent.

"Say, have you noticed something weird about Jet?" Wave asked.

"No, did he get a haircut recently?" Storm asked back.

"No, he's had that same cut for years now," Wave said, shaking her head. "I meant emotionally."

"Oh yeah, we just finished Bojack Horseman recently. I didn't think it made him turn a new leaf," Storm says.

"No, you idiot!" Wave shouted. "Him and Sonic! I keep finding evidence that the hedgehog has been hanging out in Jet's room."

Wave pulled out a blue quill from her pocket. Storm stared at it deeply.

"Isn't it obvious?" he asked. "He's gonna make a clone of Sonic."

"Like he has that kind of power," Wave sighs. "Look, I'm gonna get to the bottom of this. Jet is hiding something from us, and I'm gonna find out what it is. So, are you in or are you out?"

"You want me to help you snoop around Jet's privacy?" Storm asked, puzzled. "What's in it for me?"

"I'll take you to that one place you wanted to try," Wave said. Storm lit up almost immediately.

"Red Lobster!" Storm shouted excitedly. "You got yourself a deal!"

The two shake on it, but as they do that, Storm's team misses a goal.

"OH COME ON!" Storm shouted angrily. "Now I owe Knuckles so much money…" he muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Jet and Sonic were out "racing", and by racing, they were actually getting ice cream at one of Sonic's favorite places.

"This place has some of the best parfaits in the city," Sonic says. The two enjoy one parfait that they'd ordered to share.

"You better not be lying to me!" Jet said. "Last time you took me to a restaurant, I got attacked by crabs."

"You were the one agitating them," Sonic chuckled at the memory before eating a spoonful of the parfait as the two enjoyed the sunny summer atmosphere.

"So… Did you tell them yet?" Sonic asked. Jet sat up.

"Well, I'm still nervous about what they would think," Jet admitted. "Me? Dating my rival? They'll think I'm crazy. Everyone thought Shadow was crazy for dating you."

"They also thought that when I dated Blaze and Knuckles, too," Sonic added. "But it's better that they know sooner than later."

"By the way, you gotta stop shedding on me every time we cuddle in bed," Jet said. "You're getting your quills all over my clothes."

"Speak for yourself," Sonic retorted, pulling out a green feather from his head. "Knuckles keeps thinking I got into a fight with the Duolingo owl."

"Knuckles would struggle to take water out of a boot with instructions on the heel," Jet said. He takes a big spoonful of the parfait and freezes up immediately due to brain freeze. Sonic laughs at the expression on his face.

"You can't be the fastest at everything, Jet," Sonic chuckled. "Hey, why don't we finish up and then we can head down to the beach? I'll race you."

"You're on!" Jet says. He holds his spoon up ready for another brain freeze. Sonic also holds up his spoon but instead of having some sort of eating contest, they did that thing where you tangle your partner's arm with yours and eat it like that. Sonic was right, Jet needed to let his friends know about his relationship soon.

He couldn't hide it any longer.
