A new day.

Sonic woke up. He was in Green Hill Zone, his home, and the friendliest place on Earth. The Flickies were singing, and the day was bright and beautiful. but Sonic felt something on his leg. He was sure it was just a animal trying to cuddle with him, since they did that a lot of the time. He looked at it in shock and terror as he screamed in fear. It was a time bomb. He only had 24 hours left before the time bomb would blow up. He also read something on it that angered him: "Have fun!" - Dr. Eggman/Robotnik. Panicking, he predictably tried to break it or get it off. Sonic didn't know what to do anymore, and he bolted over to Tails' workshop, leaving a streak of blue behind him as he dashed with his super quickly woke Tails up.

"Tails! I need to talk to you!", Sonic yelled.

"Not now, Sonic", Tails responded.

"But Tails! It's urgent!", Sonic screamed back.

Tails didn't think it would be actually important, but he decided to get out of bed and ask what had happened to him.

"Fine... What happened this time?", Tails said.

"I woke up on a beautiful day, everything was fine, but then I felt something on my leg! I thought it was just some creature on my leg, but I looked, and it's a time bomb! I only have 24 hours to live!", Sonic admitted sadly.

Tails looked at him and his leg. He really did have a time bomb. He shivered, just thinking of the thought of Sonic dying made him feel sick inside. After all, Sonic the Hedgehog was his best friend! Instantly, he knew what had to be done. He began testing on his leg, to see if he could do anything about it.

It didn't work. When he tried to get the data, nothing happened, as if he was running tests on literally nothing. He looked at Sonic in worry, as small tears started to form at his eyes. Sonic knew what was coming, and it didn't make him happy.

"I'm so sorry, Sonic... Without the data, I cannot do a single thing about it... I am so so sorry! I know you're probably going to ask me if there's anything else that I can possibly do to stop the time bomb. But, no. This is the most powerful device I have. If it can't do anything, there truly is not much that could possibly be done to help it. I don't even think there's anyway I could possibly increase the time left on the time bomb to do something.", Tails said worriedly.

Suddenly Sonic heard something echoing inside his mind he had heard a long time ago: "You never truly appreciate someone until they're gone forever". Shivers ran down his spine as he saw Tails look at him in depression. He gave a smile, but it didn't seem to help much, as Tails still stared at him in complete shock and depression.

Sonic knew what he had to do now, he should see his other friends and have fun, seeing as it was probably his last day of his life. He had a idea. He took Tails with him and got together with his friends. Eventually they were all together, ready to have a party after they were going to attack Dr. Eggman/Robotnik and defeat him once and for all.
