I've been hiding something from you

Sub-Sonic

At Robotnik's oil drilling platforms.

"Excellent, Snively." Robotnik said as his face appeared on a monitor. "It appears that the probes have found another oil lake.

"It appears that way, Sir." Snively said.

"What are the holding tank oil levels?"

"36 percent capacity, Sir. By tonight we should reach 50 percent."

"Oh, I assure you Snively, you will do better than 50 percent; much better."

"But, Sir, we've been running at maximum power for 10 days..."

"We will go on 10 days if necessary. Understood?"

"Understood, Sir."

"There is a world of oil down there, Snively, and I shall have it all."

At Great Forest.

"I just don't understand it, Rotor. I calculated the exact proportions of water to sun ratio and energized the soil, but these trees don't respond." Sally said.

"Yeah. They look pretty sick all right. In fact, a lot of the trees around here aren't looking so hot." Rotor said.

"Antoine, how are the other trees doing?"

Antoine sighed.

"Oh, not so too very good my Princess." he said.

"How come the trees are dying, Aunt Sally?" Tails asked.

"Well, I think Robotnik's pollution is spreading farther and farther from the city, honey."

"Well, I am thinking that maybe they die from this horrible fraternizer. Phew!" Antoine said.

Tails laughed.

"Not fraternizer, Antoine. Fertilizer." he said.

Then thunder went off.

"What is this?"

"Looks like a storm is coming. Maybe some rain will bring these trees back to life." Sally said.

Meanwhile Sonic was on the bridge.

"Just put the pedal to the metal and baby I guarantee... You'll be juicin' to the tenth degree. Crank it supersonic. It don't take any fuel, cuz the rocket's in my pocket and I'm wa-a-a-a-a-a-ay past cool!" Sonic sang and bowed to an imaginary audience. "Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you."

'It would be better if Sonia and Manic were here to play with me.' he thought.

Then a fish jumped out of the river and back into the river.

"Whoa! Hang on, fish sticks, cuz we're gonna rock 'n' reel!" he said and dragged down the river. "Whoa! This is one tough tuna!"

He continued sliding down the river while hanging onto his fishing pole. As he headed to the log, he let go of his fishing pole.

Sonic coughed.

"Rather have a chili dog anyway." he said.

Later they were at Freedom Fighters' garden.

"And I'll tell ya, that fish stick was so big, he pulled me right off the bridge and I water-skied behind him for 10 miles. Then he stole my pole!" Sonic said.

"Bummer. I was ready for some fish sticks." Rotor said.

"I bet he was big as a tree, huh Sonic? Bet it was even big as a house, huh?" Tails said.

"You got it, big guy." Sonic said.

"Pardonnez-moi, Sonic, but are you thinking we were born tomorrow, hmm?" Antoine asked.
