Manus the Hedgehog

Chapter 2

Chris came back to the lodge at a pretty late hour.
"Hey guys, just came back from the river with a good load of fresh fish for dinner!" He called out, closing the door behind him. Frances came from the living room with a letter in hand. Chris recognised the handwriting, it was from his grandfather, Chuck.
"He got the answer, but let's see what else in there." Frances announced, then she sat on the couch awaiting for Chris. Chris sat down next to her, then hesitantly reached for the letter in her hands. He took it into his own grasp and slowly unfolded the envelope. Before he knew it, Chris was reading out the letter.

Hello, Chris.
Do you miss me? Well, I hope you do. But, my letter isn't to ask you whether if you miss me or not, it is instead to tell you that the repair crew have answered that they have permission from their boss to level down the summer lodge, with your answer of course. But, Chris, I want you to think deeply, thoroughly. Think, do you really want to tear it down? You loved it as a kid, why do you want to tear it down now?
Make the best choice, Chris, don't make the choice you'll regret.
Love, your Grandfather, Chuck.

"Wow...really, for real?" Chris was surprised, this old lodge, he could tear it down now. But, was his grandad right? The right choice, does he really want to tear this place down?
"Well, make the choice." Frances told him before she got up and left.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"I'm going to pack with Danny and Helen, now that you can tear this place down, we might as well take some memories back."
And with that, Frances left the room and her footsteps retreated upstairs. Chris was left to his thoughts, he wanted to break this place so his last moments with Sonic would go down with it, but, what if Sonic came back? That blue hedgehog certainly knew that he loved this place, then if he did come back to this world, then he would've came right here. Sonic would first go to station square, then here to try and find Chris, unless Sonic have already forgotten about him...
"Whatever, this place is going down." Chris decided. With that, he left the living room and began to walk upstairs, re-reading the letter. That's when he spotted something.

P.S I've gotten in contact with Tails, he told me that there is a hedgehog from his world in ours. Find him and bring him back, alright?

"Hedgehog in our world?" Chris muttered, but then he pushed it aside. Walking into his bedroom, he threw the letter onto his desk then went to help his friends with packing some of their "memories".
