By the Emerald Coast

The Emerald Coast is a beautiful place to be during the summer. Located next to the Station Square Hotel, with the outskirts of the city not far away. The coast is an archipelago of small islands with beautiful clear water, a wonderful sky, palm trees, and everything you need to have a fun and relaxing day at the beach. It was hot at the coast, and everyone enjoyed their drinks, ice cream, and some shades.

Tails applied sunscreen to his fur and put on his sunglasses.

Tails: Ah, how I missed this place.

Sonic: You said it, pal.

Beside him was Sonic, lounging on a chair under an umbrella. He sips his drink.

Sonic: I really love this place. All the times I ran through here, including the time I found you when you crashed that plane you were testing.

Tails: Yeah. I wonder if they discarded that heap of junk.

Not far away, Big sits down with his rod and begins fishing. Froggy hops off.

Big: Don't go too far, little pal. I don't wanna lose you again.

Froggy hops and sees Amy and Blaze walk by. Blaze has a drink, while Amy enjoys her ice cream.

Amy: I knew you would love this place.

Blaze: Yeah, it's as beautiful as Soleanna, even the new city.

She looks down to see Froggy.

Blaze: Oh, hello, Froggy. Is Big nearby?

Froggy nodded. She sees Big fishing.

Amy: Be sure not to wander off on your own, okay?

Froggy: Ribbit!

Amy: Oh look.

They see Cream, Cheese, and Trikey building a Sandcastle. They saw Blaze and Amy and waved. The Pink Hedgehog and Lavender Cat wave back.

Blaze: So cute. Amy: Yeah, always.

Wave: Okay, time to catch some waves!

She heads for the water after waxing her surfboard. Above Big was a palm tree, with Knuckles hanging on. He observes the beach, as everyone enjoys their time. Down below.

Cream: It's almost finished!

Trikey: This is so much fun! I never knew sand could be so fun to use!

Cream: Before we met you, Cheese and I would come here every summer to swim in the water, and build sandcastles.

Trikey: This place sure is amazing.

She looks at the first loop.

Trikey: What's that, some type of loop?

Cream: Yes. Mr. Sonic would run through here all the time. One time, He saved Tails when he crashed a plane here.

Trikey: Oh dear, I hope Tails wasn't hurt, that sounded scary.

Cream: He was alright. He wasn't really hurt after that nasty crash.

Trikey: Can we visit the rest of Station Square later?

Cream: Sure, we can do that. It's not really far from here. A big wave rises from the water.

Wave rides through it, and water splashes down on Big. He stared, then shook himself dry.

Wave: Heh, sorry about that, Big!

Big looks on, then continues to fish.

Trikey: I hope she doesn't get our castle wet, it'll be ruined.

Cream: I hope so, too. She'll probably surf further out.

She grabs her bucket and notices Froggy inside.

Cream: Oh. Hi Froggy, what are you doing in my bucket? He looks at the castle made of sand.

Cream: Do you like it, we made it together.

Froggy: Ribbit ribbit!

Trikey: What did he say?

Cream: he said, “Yes, it's a nice castle.”

Trikey: Aw, thank you. You wanna watch us build it, Froggy?

Froggy: Ribbit.

Trikey: Um, okay, I'll take that as a yes!

Charmy: Cool, you're making sandcastles?

Trikey: Hey, Charmy. Yeah, do you like it?

Charmy: Yeah, nice job.

Cream: We're gonna make it really big!

Charmy licks his frozen treat.

Charmy: Sounds hard, but maybe I can help?

Cream: Sure. The more, the merrier.

Trikey: And the bigger it'll be!

?: My my, what a wonderful sandcastle!

They look up to see Rouge.

Cream: Oh, hello, Ms. Rouge. Do you like what we made?

Rouge: Why, yes, it looks really nice.

Trikey: Thank you, Ms. Rouge.

The bat smiles. Chocola came by with lemonade. Rouge looks at his drink.

Rouge: Ooh, lemonade. This heat is making me thirsty. I should go get a drink.

Charmy's ice cream drips as he licks. Trikey gasps.

Trikey: Careful, Charmy, we don't want our castle to get messy.

Charmy: Oops, sorry.

Cream: Oh, that reminds me. I'm getting hot from all this building. We should go get something to cool off with, too.

Trikey: Yeah.

Cream calls for Rouge.

Cream: Ms. Rouge?!

Rouge: Yes?

Cream: Can we go with you to get some ice cream, please?

Rouge ponders.

Rouge: Well, I am heading over to the bar now. Alright, darlings. I'll treat you to some ice cream.

Cream: Yippee! Let's go, guys!

Trikey: Oh boy, ice cream!

Rouge: Follow me, sweetums!

They follow Rouge to the bar. From the tree, Knuckles chuckled and smiled as he scanned the entire beach. Knuckles: This place sure has changed for the better ever since Perfect Chaos wrecked havoc. I'm glad everything is at peace here once again. It really is nice to relax once in a while. Another wave crashes down, nearly missing the red Echidna. Wave surfs by.

Wave: Sorry, again! Couldn't help it!

Knuckles sighs, then smiles. Everyone continues to enjoy the rest of their afternoon by the Emerald Coast.
