We'll be together again someday

Defective Detectives

Big was at Station Square lying in the grass as the confetti fell in celebration.

"Hey. Froggy. It sure is a nice day." he said and opened his eyes to see a large burst in the sky: Chaos Control. "That's pretty..."

At a house an elderly couple were washing dishes when suddenly the house shook and a small house now landed on top of their house.

At the White House Chuck and Chris were in the Oval Office with the President, Christina Cooper, and a guard. The screen behind her was showing several small houses.

"There have been five more confirmed reports, Mr. President. It seems that most of the buildings have landed in parts of the city closest to Mystic Ruin." Christina said.

"Great. And what about all the creatures they found inside?" the president said.

Then the screen showed several animals from Sonic's world. A Flicky was front and center.

"The bird-like ones are known as Flickies, sir." she said.

"And I'm assuming they all came from the same world as Sonic. Right, Professor Thorndyke?"

"Yep. It would appear that way."

"I see. Now then, I'm sure you must be wondering why I asked for you and your grandson here this afternoon."

"You're worried about the arrival of these creatures. You're thinking you need to separate them from humans. You're concerned there'll be trouble between two such different species unless they're... dealt with." Chuck said.

Then the TV turned off.

"We wish we didn't have to. It's just-" Christina said.

"Don't apologize." Chuck said and she looked up. "We understand your situation completely."

But Chris looked depressed.

Meanwhile Knuckles and Rouge were in Station Square atop a building, looking down at the city.

Knuckles was thinking about what Sonia would think if she saw this place.

"Have you heard? A couple more friends from back home dropped in. Seems every day is like a regular reunion around here. 'Course, if too many of us start showing up, the humans aren't gonna be too happy. They'll probably decide we're dangerous and round us all up. Imagine us... together." Rouge said and approached Knuckles. "24/7... My, I wonder that'd be like, don't you?"

"Get this straight! I'd rather live in solitary confinement than with you!" he said.

'If it was Sonia I'd be glad to stay with her.' he thought.

"Don't get so excited, sweetie. I'm only saying that the authorities won't like our kind around. Believe me, I don't like the idea of being locked up any more than you do. ... I should have realized that the welcome mat wouldn't be out forever."

"Yeah. Too good to be true. One day they love us because we're unique, and the next day we're in jail because we're different. Well, they won't take me without a fight."

"Now that's the right attitude. Oh well, we'll just have to make the best of it." she said and walked to the other side of him. "When they come to get us, I hope you're around to protect me." she said and flapped her wings and hovered above him. "Well, I'm off. Oh, and there's just one more thing."

"What's that?"

"I hope we share a cell." she said and flew away, leaving him blushing again and shaking his fist.

"You're batty!" he said. "And besides, I already have a girlfriend!" he said then covered his mouth and she turned around to look at him.

"What?" she said.
