Heh, funny isn't it? How quick a person's fortune can change for the worst. Guess I'd know, wouldn't I? Well someone's gotta pick up where you left off, hedgehog. Just never thought in a million years it'd be me. - Y/n
Y/n: Alright that should do it. How do ya feel now Zero?

Zero: Like a new maverick hunter! Thanks for the fix-up!
I give him a thumbs-up and X shows him around. I take a moment to sit down and look at the blueprints I made... Where do I build you? Hmm... South Island? No... Green Hill's basically become a nature reserve, so I don't wanna disturb it. That coastal area should do the trick! It's not too far from here and it gives us easy sea access. Plus hydro-electric power is always welcome. Since all you need is good water flow and the right wheels.
Y/n: Hmm... Hey Sage.
Sage: Yes brother?
Y/n: I need a second opinion. Do you think we should set up shop over near Emerald Coast? Or by that Ocean Palace place?
Sage: I suggest Ocean Palace. I think it will be fun to venture through the ruins after your project's completion to find the secrets within.
Y/n: Even though I have bad experiences with the water, I totally agree! So... What do we do today?
Sage: By the way Y/n. I have located a portion of this facility you may be interested in.
She shows me a data pad that points out various chambers below us that aren't part of the main factory assembly. She then points her finger at one particular area deep underground... Fake Chaos Emeralds? They look like naturally formed ones too... Interesting...
Sage: It would appear the fake Emeralds are supplying this entire base with a consistent supply of power in accordance to how the gemstones are naturally formed, unlike how father mass-produced them in the Eggperial City.
Huh... Well that's one way to cheat the electricity bill. I feel a pull on my cape and Jenny looks at me with a shy smile.
Jenny: H-Hey, uh... Y-Y/n?
I turn to face Jenny and her cheeks are blushing an adorable blue.
Y/n: Yeah?
Jenny: I-I heard about a n-new skate park and roller-disco hybrid opening up in Starlight Amusement Park and... I-IWASWONDERINGIFWECOULDGOTHERETOGETHER!
----Language identification: Ruby-nese----
----translation complete: I was wondering if we could go there together----
Y/n: Y'know what? Sure! We don't even need to grab skates on the way there either.
Her blush only grows as she forms the biggest smile I've seen on her til now. Jenny suddenly wraps her arms around me, jumping in excitement.
