In a beautiful summer day in the jungle, Sonic and Tails are racing on Tails' hoverboards. He smirks at the blue hedgehog. "You may be faster on foot, but I invented these things!"

Tails does a flip and overtakes Sonic. Who smirks back. "Not bad! My turn!"

He overtakes Tails, smirks at him but then he hits a branch and two trees before falling down to the ground. Tails approaches him on his hoverboard as Sonic recovers from the fall. "Are you okay?!" Tails asked, eyes widened. "Fine, just fine."

"Good, cause that was the coolest thing I've ever seen!" Tails smiled in amazement. Sonic gave him a look. "Really?"

"You look cool even when you're making a complete fool of yourself!" Tails nods, they both share a chuckle before Sonic finds his hoverboard and is about to pick it up when he hears the Weasel Bandits. "All right, load 'em up! Hurry up and nobody gets hurt!"

The brothers watch as the Gogobas drop valuables into the Weasel Bandits' bags.

"Whoa! We gotta stop those jerks!" Tails nods as they rush in, Tails on his hover board. "What's going on here?" Sonic asks.

"Oh, these delightful young men were just ransacking our poor village and taking all our possessions." The chief reply's, almost sadly.

"They probably need them more than we do, being bandits living on the land and all." Another one mentions, with the same sad tone.

"Yeah, so back off, blue guy! This is what we do!" The bandit laughs. Sonic scoffs. "Oh yeah, well this is what we do!"

Sonic Spin Dashes into the Weasel Bandits, leaving them stunned, then Tails passes Sonic a nearby vine attached to a tree and Sonic ties them up with it as Tails pulls on the vine.

"Ugh! This isn't over!" One of the bandit glared at Sonic. He smirks back. "Really? Cause it looks like you're about to 'take off'."

And on cue, Tails releases his grip on the vine and the Weasel Bandits are catapulted into the sky. Tails and Sonic fist bump each other, smiling. The chief walks up to them. "Thank you, strange travellers, you have saved us Gogobas from the from the scourage of the Weasel Bandits, and scattered our belongings carelessly across the dirt."

Tails looked sorry as he started to pick them up. "Sorry, I'll help pick 'em up."

"no, we wouldn't want to trouble you. I'll do it myself. It probably won't cause my chronic back pain to flare up too much. Oh!" While bending down, the female's back makes a horrifying cracking sound. The brothers exchanged awkward looks.

"Oh don't worry about her, she'll pass out from the pain soon. In the meantime, the rest of us will throw our valiant heroes a victory feast." The chief nodded.

Two Gogobas bring a table full of food to Sonic and Tails, filled with a variety type of fruits, some water, and roasted chicken. Sonic's mouth watered, but quickly denied it. "Thanks, but we really gotta-"

"It's okay, we know how busy you are. Within a few months, this will turn into compost, and we'll be able to grow new food to eat." The chief interrupts. Sonic sighs.

"Um, well I guess we could stay for a quick bite." Sonic agreed.

"Wonderful!"

The Gogoba Chief walks off, two Gogobas give Sonic and Tails chairs and they both sit down. They both look at each other before they start eating some fruit. They then find out that the Gogoba Chief and all the Gogobas are watching them. Sonic raises an eyebrow. "Um, aren't you guys gonna eat?"

"Oh, no. We'd much rather watch you enjoy your food." The chief replies meekly.

"That's the only nourishment we need." Her stomach growls. "That was a growl of joy."
