We'll be together again someday

Running Out of Time

At Thorndyke Mansion living room.

"We now go live to the office of the President." Scarlet said.

"My fellow citizens, I have sad news to bring you this morning." the president said on TV and showed a sleeping Cream, Vanilla, and Amy. "Many months ago, a connection was established between Sonic's world and our own." he said and showed Tails and Chuck at work in the lab, a meditating Tanaka and Ella in the kitchen. "Now regrettably, our connection must be severed forever."

Chris wasn't in bed but standing by the pool outside. Sonic ran by and stopped on the other side of the pool causing a few leaves to blow around and the pool to ripple.

"Morning, Chris!" Sonic said.

"Good morning, Sonic." Chris said.

"How's it goin', guy?"

"Okay."

"We can go for a run later if you want to."

"Sure." Chris said and they stood there in silence as a leaf landed in the pool.

After being a brother and friend for so long he knew something was wrong.

And after Tails telling him what was going on had an idea.

"Unfortunately, this is the last day we'll spend with Sonic and his friends. Tonight they must return to their own world." the president narrated.

In the dining room Nelson, Lindsey, Chris, Amy, Cream, Cheese, and Vanilla were eating.

"Personally, I don't see why it's such a problem if time suddenly comes to a stop. If I don't get any older, I won't get any wrinkles." Amy said.

"But Amy, don't you think you would get bored if you were forced to live the same day over and over again forever and ever?" Vanilla asked.

"And if you don't get any older, you'll never get birthday presents." Cream said as Ella and Tanaka entered.

"I didn't think of that." Amy said.

"I have school. See you later." Chris said then got up and left.

"Enjoy yourself." Tanaka he said and bowed..

"Bye! Have a good time!" Nelson said.

"Take care, sweetie." Lindsey said.

At Chuck's lab Tails and Chuck were building something.

"No good." Chuck said.

"I wonder what we're doing wrong?" Tails said.

"On behalf of all our citizens, I extend our best wished to Sonic and his friends." the president said on TV and cleared his throat. "As you make the journey back to your home world, please remember that this world will never forget your acts of courage and heroism."

Meanwhile the TV was turned off by Card Passer, head of C.L.I.P. He kicked his feet up on the desk.

"What a blowhard! That mealy-mouthed gutless wonder should've done something to get rid of those freeloaders a long time ago. Why build an expensive machine to get rid of 'em when a couple of well-aimed missiles could do the trick?" he said when his phone rang, and he answered it. "Passer here." he said on the phone.

"Commander, we think Eggman is up to something." agent said over the phone.

At Eggman's base there was a agent hiding just out of sight of Eggman, who was sitting in front of a console.

"What's he doing?" Card Passer asked over the phone.

"He's working on something suspicious. What should we do?" Agent said on the phone.
