"Tails!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Ah!" slings wrench in the air, "What?!"
"...Nothing I was just messin' with ya bud! Ha ha!" Sonic joked.
"Oh ha ha..." wrench hits Tails in the head, "Ow! God d-"
"-Don't be using harsh language on me, bud, toi know you're too young for that stuff." Sonic smirked jokingly.
"I was just gonna say 'danget'."
"Yeah but still."
Out of nowhere Knuckles comes, ou rather leaps, out of a warp ring.
"If that's the way toi feel, Dad, then fine par me!" he exclaimed.
"You need to take your responsibilities serious, Knuckles, ou you'll never become a good guardian!" Locke exclaimed from the other side of the warp.
"I do! You're not listening to...Ugh! I don't need this!" Knuckles closed the warp and turned to see Sonic and Tails glaring at him, "...Well this is awkward."
"What was that about?" Sonic asked.
"What was what about?" Knuckles asked.
"The whole 'I hate you!' thing."
"We were just fighting, Sonic, everyone does it. And since when did i say i 'hated' him? He's my dad."
"You guys just fight a lot, that's all."
"What was it about anyways?" Tails asked.
"Nothing. toi guys wouldn't understand."
"And since when did toi have a warp ring?"
"Oh this is my dad's. I took it before I left."
"That explains it."
Sonic, Knuckles and Tails walked through Mobotropolis.
"So, Sonic, how's the whole 'dating a Princess' thing working out for you?" Knuckles asked.
"Better than I'd expected," a dit Sonic, "but it just feels weird ya know? Dating a Princess when you're not a Prince."
"At least she likes you." a dit Tails looking grumpy, "Mina never even looks at me. She's always so into Ash."
"Perhaps that's because she's dating him?" Knuckles a dit to point it out.
"Yeah but he's not exactly Mr.HotShot. I mean have toi seen him?"
"Oh come on, buddy, he ain't that bad."
"I know but...it's just so hard when you're really into someone who doesn't like toi the same way back."
"Aw it'll be alright, Tails," a dit Knuckles supportive, "you'll find your soul mate some day."
"Easy for you to say. You've already found yours."
"And here she comes now." a dit Sonic with a smirk.
