We'll be together again someday

A Date to Forget

"Hey, Emel... Wake up!" someone said and it opened its eyes to see Bokkun looking at it.

However, its view was blurry.

They were inside Eggman's old base, and Bokkun was speaking to a robot.

I said wake up! You can hear me, can't ya? Turn yourself on! What's the matter with ya? Did your brain short circuit? Come on, get up! We've got an important mission to carry out, and there's no time to lose!" he said and the robot's dim blue eyes glow slightly, and it nodded. "Good. I hope your batteries are all charged up, 'cause we're gonna have a really busy day."

The robot slowly stood up. Spots of light appear in its eyes.

I'm in charge of this operation, so you have to obey all my commands, okay?" he asked and it nodded.

Bokkun hovered above the ground in excitement.

"All right, Emel! Let's go!" he said and flew over to a garage door.

The robot broke free of its wire restraints and follows Bokkun.

Bokkun giggled and pressed the button that opens the garage door, flooding the room with bright sunlight.

"We're gonna give Sonic a real bach today! Forward, march!" he said and laughed as they left the base together.

At Station Square people were running around the park. Some of them are wearing Sonic-themed shirts.

"City Park has been overrun - overrun by fitness fans obsessed with running. This new craze is all thanks to Sonic the Hedgehog. His heroics are inspiring thousands of people to put on their jogging shoes and run for fun." Scarlet said. "Why did you decide to take up running, sir?" she asked one of the runners.

The man wiped his sweat.

"Uh, I don't know. Sonic has such a great time racing around, I thought I'd try." he said.

At Thorndyke Manor living room the TV was tuned to the news station. Cream and Cheese were playing with toy blocks, and Chris was reading. Vanilla was there to.

"School officials and athletic coaches report that their track programs are more popular than ever, and new records are being set daily. Experts in sports psychology by the sudden turn of events-" Scarlet said.

"SONIC!" someone shouted out.

Suddenly an angry Amy stormed into the room, causing the other to cower back.

"Hi, Amy." Chris said.

"What's wrong?" Cream asked as Amy leapt up onto the table.

"All right, where are you hiding, Sonic? You better come out now!" she said.

Chris cautiously approached her.

"He's not here." he said.

But Amy put him in a headlock and drew her hammer.

"You can't fool me! I know you're hiding and Chris is covering for you, so come on out, Sonic!" she said.

"I'm not covering for him. Sonic was here earlier, but he left, and he didn't say where he was going." he said.

"Chris is telling the truth, Amy!" Cream said.

"Chao!" Cheese said.

Amy knelt on the table in front of Chris.

"I'd better find him right away, or there's gonna be big trouble." she said.

"Why? What's wrong?" he asked.
