                                              Puyi, at the age of three years old, was now the emperor of China. His throne room emptied as many began to prepare for his coronation proper, even his father had left to make accommodations. Three strange men walked towards him. " Aw shucks, Puyi...it must really suck that you can never leave the palace and you'll never see your mother ever again and you'll have your childhood stripped away from you and replaced with political discourse in a dying nation...but hey, look on the bright side, you've got a cool house now..." Sonic said, blitzing and moving throughout the place.
                          Puyi looked at the three solemnly, he didn't want to be here. He missed his mother immensely, being pried away from her was one of the most painful things he experienced. Now a yellow bear, a blue hedgehog, and a strangely dressed foreigner stand before him. " Who are you? " He asked, looking at the trio.
                          " Well, I am Pooh-Bear...this is Sonic...and that is Buddy the Elf...we saw how lonely you were and wanted to help you out..." Pooh explained, looking at Puyi, who let out a sigh.

                          " Actually we got lost on our way to a drug PSA- " Sonic said, only to be cut off by Buddy, who kicked him in the shin hard soon after.
                          " Foreigners are not allowed in the Forbidden City...once you are found you will all be killed..." Puyi replied, looking down at Pooh as he walked closer to him.
                          " We'll simply take that chance then.." He said hopefully, smiling brightly, only for Sonic to let out a chuckle.
                          " And having an emperor on our adventure team probably has its perks too- " The blue blur said, only to have his other shin kicked by Buddy.
                          " You calm yourself right now mister, stop being such a...a..." Buddy began to say, not really knowing what kind of word to use.
                          " An asshole? " Sonic replied, crossing his arms and letting out a sigh.
                          Buddy proceeded to kick the hedgehog in the groin, ending his bloodline in one swift blow. " You can't swear now, he's just a kid! " He whisper shouted, to which the hedgehog groaned in pain.
                          Puyi heard his father's footsteps, and the trio went into hiding. As he approached him, the boy looked up at him. " Can we go home now? " He asked, his eyes still ridden with sorrow in them.
                          His father looked back at the boy and let out a sigh. The decision was not his to make, even if it was, he never wanted such a role for his son to fill. " Come now, he haven't got time for reminiscing..." He said, holding his child's hand and walking to the coronation.
