Chapter 1: Blizzard In For Stories

In the city of Mobotropolis, there is a huge winter storm and it's covering the entire place in thick snow. Seeing the houses might get overflowed, The Freedom Fighters have an evacuation so the citizens won't be trapped in their homes and gather into one building.

In Acorn Castle, every Mobian in New Mobotropolis are inside to stay warm and so they can be with their family and friends. Among them are Sonic and Eve with both of their families. They are glad to be spending time together. Of course, the blizzard is a bit hard to enjoy it. For Eve, she is happy that Shadow decides to visit too.

Eve smiles and says, "I'm glad you decided to visit us Shadow. It's been a while since we last saw each other."

"You mean when we saw each other at the Grand Prix that also turned out to be a waste of time," Shadow says.

"Okay, so maybe the Grand Prix turned out to be one of Eggman's lame schemes, but we ended up having a good time. You even enjoyed Extreme Gear," Eve says.

"Yeah. Don't be hating at this time of year. It's the holiday so you should enjoy it. Even if we are stuck in here during a blizzard," Sonic says.

Shadow crosses his arms and turns away in a huff.

Eve sighs and thinks, "Some things never change."

She then looks down to be holding little Shun, "Right Shun."

The baby simply smiles as he makes a baby sound.

Shadow turns to see Eve holding the baby, "I'm a little surprised that you decided to raise the little infant as your own."

"Why that?" Eve asks.

"Nothing. Just a little curious," Shadow says.

Then Shadow thinks, "Eve has grown up so fast. Of course, she is still my little sister no matter how I look at it."

He then secretly brings out a small box, and thinks, "I sure hope Eve likes the present I got for her."

"So Shadow, how is your work in G.U.N?" Sonia asks.

"Things have been alright. I went on a few missions, especially with my team," Shadow says.

"Sounds cool," Manic says.

"Either way, I am so happy that we all get to spend time together as a family. Especially now I have two families to celebrate with," Eve says with a smile.

"I have to agree. That makes the holiday even more special," Obsidian says.

I have to agree," Bernadette says.

The two families look out the window to see the weather happening outside. The blizzard blows outside as the snow falls from the sky.

"Wow! The snow is really going down," Manic says.

"You can say that again. I'm not sure if it's ever going to stop," Eve says.

Just then, Tails walk to them with Cosmo, Galaxina, and his parents.

"Well, the news said that we'll be having this weather for a little while. It could be a few days or so," Tails says.

"Yeah, but it's disappointing that we can't play in the snow. I was planning on making a snowman for Shun," Eve says.

"And we were planning on having a snowball fight too," Sonic says.

"Yeah. I know what's going on stinks, but we all have each other," Eve says.

"I have to agree. As long as we're together under one roof, we won't have anything to worry about," Cosmo says.

Galaxina nods her head in reply.

Just then, Sally and the rest of the Freedom Fighters come over, including Nic and Fiona. It has been some time since they joined the Freedom Fighters and they've been helping out. Eve though their past and record are checkered to say the least.

"Hey Sal, how is everyone doing?" Sonic asks.

"Everyone is doing fine. A little cold, but nothing we can't handle," Sally says.

"You're right, we handle a lot more than this for years," Sonic says.

Cosmo asks, "If you don't mind me asking, I like to hear more of your adventures."

Sonic, Eve, and the others look at Cosmo with curious looks.

"Tails has been telling me and Galaxina about some of your adventures and I like to hear more… if that's alright?" Cosmo asks, blushing a little.

Sonic smiles, "Sure we don't mind. However, there are tons of stories. I'm not sure which one we can tell."

"You can say that again. In fact, we've been having so much adventures ever since we were kids, even before we became Freedom Fighters," Eve says.

"Really? I like to hear it," Fiona says.

"I like to hear it too. Sounds like you have lots to tell," Nic says.

"You can say that again," Manic says.

"Yeah. Remember the time when we all found this Power Ring and we ended up being transported to different dimensions," Eve says.

"I think so. We all ended up in some strange places we weren't sure if we're ever going to get back," Sonic says.

"I believe I have remember that Bunnie and I were surrounded by strange masks," Antoine says.

"It's better than me and Rotor. We were chased by strange black creatures with glowing purple marks," Manic says.

"Sally and I ended up on a roller coaster," Sonia says.

Confused Amy asks, "When was that?"

"Oh, that happened when we're all like seven years old. Of course, that was like around ten years ago," Eve says.

Then Sonic remembers, "Hey Eve, you never told us where you ended up did you?"

"No I don't think so. I think it's because I hardly remembered it," Eve says.

Cream asks, "Can we hear the story? Can we, please?"

"Chao Chao," Cheese says.

"I would like to hear it too," Amy says.

Eve laughs, "Okay, we'll tell you the story. We'll try our best to remember it."

Sonic turns to Sally, "Hey Sally, you wanna tell the store?"

"Sure. I would like to," Sally says.

Sonic says, "Hold on a minute."

Sonic speeds up and comes back with a few trays of mugs with hot chocolate inside. One for everyone. There is also a few plates of snacks, chili dogs, and a bowl of popcorn.

"Thought it would be a good idea to have something to eat while we listen," sonic says.

"No. You just want to stuff your face, but we'll have some anyway," Eve remarks.

Soon enough, everyone is having hot chocolate and some snacks.

Sally soon begins to tell the story, "Alright, it all happened when we're all young. It actually happened on a snow day almost like now. Of course, we can't wait to play in the snow and we were excited ..."
