The Fearsome Four and Team Rocket to the Rescue/Vector, Vanilla, Toby, Cream, and Cheese’s Return

*(Outside on top of a building later, Meowth's group, no longer with tears in their eyes, frowned sadly as they sat down looking out at the city)*

Meowth: Man, it seemed like yesterday wasn't it?

Jessie: One minute we were in power with Vanitas' group and Negaduck, but now.... *(Sighs)* we're thankfully not.

James: I guess we did, in fact, felt a bunch of remorse for the actions we caused before.

Quackerjack: And we, unfortunately, have no home to go to ever since.... *(He sighs sadly)* Our families....

*(They look at the palace in the distance nearby)*

Bushroot: Looks like the only place left to go is the palace.

Liquidator: And we got to find a way to get back into that, and try to convince everyone there *and* in this city that we have repented.

Megavolt: So what's a bunch of people like us to do in order to do that?

*(They became lost in thought. Meanwhile Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, wearing their prince outfits, along with Chip, all cleaned up, Marahute, Darkwing, Launchpad, Steelbeak, Morgana, Minerva, and Meowzie, headed out of the palace)*

Sonic: So guys, before dinner, how about we see what the common folks are doing today?

Launchpad: That's a good idea!

Morgana and Minerva: (Agreeing) And besides, this'll be our first duties as guards.

Chip: (Jokingly) After you, old chap!

Steelbeak: (Chuckles) Good one, Chip.

*(As they walked off, Meowth's group snapped out of their thoughts and, upon looking down, unknowingly spotted them. Then they took a double take and looked down again, seeing them fully this time)*

Jessie: So those boys and Steelbeak are living in the palace now?

Megavolt: (Flatly) Okay, it's official. This place is getting crazy.

*(Then Meowth noticed Meowzie and gave a calm amazed look, the same look Sonic's group gave when they first saw Sally's group on the day they first met)*

Meowth: Wow....

*(Noticing Meowth's lovestruck reaction, his group spoke up)*

Liquidator: Meowth? Earth to Meowth?

*(Bushroot snapped his leaf-like fingers in Meowth's face, snapping him out of it)*

Meowth: What?

Quackerjack: You seem to like that girl cat Pokemon suddenly.

Meowth: (Hesitantly) "Like her?" *(Nervously)* Oh, no, no, no! I don't have a crush on her.

Quackerjack: (Teasingly) Sure you don't.

*(Meowth, hearing his tone, gave in)*

Meowth: Okay, I like her. She's beautiful.

*(Then he perked up excitedly)*

Meowth: Wait. this is perfect! Maybe if we can earn sympathy from the girl cat Pokemon, then maybe, just maybe, she can convince everyone that we *are* reformed!

*(He laughs joyfully, making his group think about it and perk up in agreement)*

Bushroot: (Hopefully) And hopefully, we can have a home at last.

*(Meowth's group, while hidden, climbed down to the street on some crates)*

Quackerjack: Now, to get ourselves dirty.

*(Meowth's group then messed up their fur and hair, then throws some dirt and sand all over themselves)*

Jessie: Messy, but it works.

Bushroot: I hope we win them over.

Liquidator: Especially that girl cat Pokemon of Meowth's dreams.

*(Meowth blushed a bit, but then snapped out of it and gave a playful look along with his group. Sonic's group came around a corner as they looked around some more. Then Meowth's group, still with playful looks, purposely knocked an empty crate nearby down, getting Sonic's group's attention)*

Minerva: Huh?

Chip: Who's there?

*(Then, discarding their playful looks, Meowth's group crawled out of hiding with a sad, yet exhausted, look on their faces. The group noticed them and got suspicious and angry while Meowzie, Steelbeak, Morgana, and Minerva got confused, yet suspicious)*

Sonic: (Angrily) Team Rocket and the Fearsome Four?

Knuckles: (Angrily) What are you doing here?!

Darkwing: (Angrily) Why are you here?!

Meowth's group: (Weakly) Hello? Is someone here?

Meowth: (Weakly) Help us up….

*(Tails roughly help them up and then spun them around with his tails, making the dirt and sand fly off of them, cleaning them)*

Meowth: Hey, hey! I didn’t mean help us up roughly!

Tails: Why should we treat you nicely now?

Chip: Yeah? Especially after what you did to us in the past?

Minerva: So they’re Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket and Megavolt, Quackerjack, Bushroot, and Liquidator of the Fearsome Four?

Morgana: The dorks you told us about?

Darkwing: Yeah.

Launchpad: Troublemakers who work for Vanitas, Don Karnage, and Negaduck.

Meowth's group: Not anymore.

Chip: (Goes up to their faces) Liars!

Meowth: We swear, we mean it! Not anymore!

James: (Hanging his head in sadness) It's just that we were forced to work for them after some people dear to us were killed mysteriously.

Bushroot: (Tears up) Even always treated us like yesterday’s trash like we don’t even exist.

*(Megavolt then sobs)*

Megavolt: (Crying) You don’t know what it’s like to be alone and abused like that.

*(He breaks down sobbing while the group, except Steelbeak and Meowzie, gave flat looks)*

Darkwing: There is no way we're falling for those crocodile tears you're shedding now.

*(Megavolt sniffles as he wiped his tears away and stopped crying slowly)*

Megavolt: What we’re saying is the honest-to-Allah truth.

Meowth: No tricks. No scams.

Jessie: We promise.

Megavolt: So, what do you say, pals?

*(Meowth's group held their hands out to Sonic's group to take them. A short pause, then Sonic's group, except Meowzie and Steelbeak, glared and crossed their arms)*

Sonic: Bet that’s a new scam you’re making right now.

Knuckles: And we are not pals!

Tails: Yeah.

Darkwing: And we bet you're making all of this up, especially involving you losing your family.

Launchpad: That must be a plan you concocted with Vanitas' group.

Chip: Something to make us morons.

Darkwing: So, I'm gonna have to suggest....

*(Suddenly, Steelbeak and Meowzie spoke up)*

Meowzie: Actually.... It might sound crazy, but, I honestly believe them.

Steelbeak: So do I.

*(Meowth and Sonic's groups got surprised upon hearing the two say that)*

Meowzie: I could sense the honesty. Even though they are somewhat overexaggerating a bit on the sympathy part.

Steelbeak: True on the overexaggerate part.

*(Silence, then just before Meowth's group could speak up, Chip butted in)*

Chip: Oh, what do you know about them?

Knuckles: And Steelbeak, it's somewhat understandable that you used to work with them, but that doesn't mean....

Steelbeak: But how can you tell?

Tails: And Meowzie, why would you believe them?

Meowth: Because I was abandoned too. Even though I never was abused like them, I was just a little girl kitten when I was abandoned.

*(A short pause, then Chip spoke up)*

Chip: Are you being crazy or are we? They're dorks, for crying out loud!

*(Marahute chirps angrily in agreement)*

James: But we really didn't want any part of Vanitas' group's takeover plot, Mr. Little Pinkie.

*(Shocked on what James called him, Chip turned to him slowly, fuming red with anger, concerning the group)*

Tails: Uh-oh. You shouldn't have called him that.

Chip: (Fuming) What did you call me?

James: I’m not insulting you. I just said….

*(Chip lunged at James in anger as if to beat him up, causing him and Meowth's group to retreat in a panic and Sonic’s group to give chase)*

Chip: You better run!

Sonic: Come back here, you troublemakers!

*(The groups ran across a corner and run into something that knocked them all back. When they came to it, they see that they rammed into the first thief with Merlock, Dijon, Splatter Phoenix, and the other thieves with them)*

Merlock: (Noticing the group with his group) You again?!

Meowzie: We could say the same thing about you!

Dijon: I knew we'd find you!

Splatter Phoenix: Get them and Meowzie! Especially their dumb new guys!

*(The thieves advance on the group who backed away. The villains attacked but the heroes, and Meowth's group, got away in the nick of time. Darkwing ducked some of the thieves' attacks as he uses his sword to knock a bunch of barrels onto Dijon and the second thief knocking them down. The third thief tries to hit Steelbeak, Morgana, and Minerva, but they dodged and Morgana, along with Chip and Meowzie, fires a fireball at him. The third thief dodged which results in the attack knocking down the first thief. He got up, and then smirks at the concerned Meowzie and grabs her before she ran)*

First thief: (Getting out a sword) Gotcha!

*(Meowth ran in between them, forcing the first thief to release his grip on Meowzie)*

Meowth: Hey, hey, whoa! Back off from her!

Meowth's group: (Joining up with him) Leave her alone!

*(Noticing this, Sonic's group got calmly surprised. Then the first thief punches Meowth's group aside, knocking them into a watermelon stand, causing a broken wood shard to cut Meowth's left shoulder)*

First thief: (To Meowth's group) This is none of your business! *(To Sonic's group)* And you are dead meat!

Splatter Phoenix: (Grabbing Meowzie) And you *are* coming with us again!

Meowzie: Let go of me! HELP!!

*(Meowth's group recovered and Meowth pulled a watermelon off of his head and removes the seeds. They got shocked upon seeing Meowzie in danger and Sonic's group cornered by the thieves sword point. Then Meowth got angrily determined)*

Meowth: Okay! They messed with the wrong, SCRATCHING CAT POKEMON!!!!

*(Meowth screams a battle cry as he charged and scratched at Merlock, Dijon, and Splatter Phoenix, making her release Meowzie. Then the non-powered Meowth's group snatched the thieves' swords away and aimed them at the recovering Merlock, Dijon, and Splatter Phoenix, who got surprised. Then the three pulled their swords out)*

Splatter Phoenix: You really think you're gonna mess with us?

Dijon: Then fine.

Merlock: It's your funeral.

Meowth's group: We'll see about that!

*(Then they dueled while the powered members of Meowth's group used their magic techniques. At first calmly surprised at Meowth's group's brave fighting skills, Sonic's group and even Meowzie softened up a bit towards Meowth's group. Then as Meowth's group locked blades with the three evil leaders, the villains were pushing Meowth's group down as they struggled to push them away. Then, to their surprise, Sonic's group and even Darkwing and Steelbeak used their Keyblades and swords to help Meowth's group push the swords' blades back. Then working together upon Meowth's group snapping out of their surprised looks, Meowth and Sonic's groups shoved a powerful gust blast from the Keyblades at Merlock, Dijon, Splatter Phoenix, and the thieves, knocking him back. Before they could recover, Knuckles and Steelbeak grabbed them, spinned the villains around and gave the villains a big toss sending them colliding into an egg cart on wheels owned by a shocked eggkeeper. Then Meowth's group threw the swords bladepoint at the cart's edge)*

Meowth: See how you like that!

*(He and his group blew raspberries at them)*

Eggkeeper: (Shocked) My eggs! You ruined my eggs! Who's going to pay for them now?!

Merlock: Oh why don't you go away?!

Eggkeeper: (Ignoring Merlock) Guards! Guards!

*(The villains looked up and got calmly alarmed as Judge Doom, the Toon Patrol, and the weasel guards approached)*

Doom: What is the trouble here?

*(Then the guards noticed Merlock, Dijon, Splatter Phoenix, and the thieves and got determined)*

Thief 2: (Chuckling nervously) Uh, mercy?

Doom: (Getting his sword out) Sorry. I'm not completely stupid.

Smart Guy: Now, are you gonna surrender and come quietly, or do you want to be punished?

*(A short pause, then Merlock and Splatter Phoenix, who got determined, quickly grabs the horse's reins to get it going. The horse ran off pulling the cart with Dijon and their thieves still in it, making their escape)*

Doom: After them!

*(Doom, the Toon Patrol, guards, and eggkeeper chased after them. Once the danger has passed, the group looked at Meowth's group in amazement)*

Sonic's group: Incredible....

Tails: One minute you were our enemy, and the next thing, you helped us.

Darkwing: Why?

Meowth: We told you already.

Megavolt: We lost our special ones when we were little and then forced to work for Vanitas' group in a abusive life kind of way.

Morgana: And what are these "Special ones" you talking about, pray tell?

*(Meowth's group hesitated, but didn't explain)*

Meowth's group: Nothing. Maybe we'll explain about it later.

*(Meowzie approached Meowth with a calm look of gratitude, making him blush)*

Meowth: Oh, um....

Megavolt: (Giggles) Saw your blush, Casanova.

Meowth: (Through gritted teeth) Ix-nay...!

Meowzie: My new friends and I are so grateful to you for rescuing us, especially me.

*(Meowth snaps out of his blushing and smiled bashfully)*

Meowth: Oh, it was nothing to it. Just call it luck.

*(Then Meowzie gasped)*

Meowth: What?

Meowzie: You're hurt!

Meowth: (Confused) Huh?

*(He and the groups then finally noticed what Meowzie gasped at; His cut left shoulder. He held it gently)*

Meowth: Must've cut myself during the ambush. But it's nothing. My group and I've been through worse scrapes and cuts like this.

Meowzie: Don't say things like that in happiness.

Bushroot: She has a point.

*(Then she gently removed Meowth's paw-like hand from the cut and placed her paw-like hands on it gently)*

Meowth: (Confused) What're you...?

*(Meowzie gently shushed him. Meowth's group looked at Sonic's group in confusion, and they nod calmly with calm smiles, for they obviously could tell that Meowzie is gonna help. Then sure enough, Meowzie sang her heart out)*

Meowzie: **Magic, gleam and glow**

**Let your power shine**

**Make the clock reverse**

**Bring back what once was mine**

*(She glowed a golden light from her body from something glowing beneath her fur, surprising Meowth's group, as she continued)*

Meowzie: **Heal what has been hurt**

**Change the Fates' design**

**Save what has been lost**

**Bring back what once was mine**

**What once was mine**

*(The song over, she stopped glowing and then removed her hands from Meowth's shoulder, revealing that the cut has been healed, surprising Meowth's group. Then a scream began to slowly build up in Meowth as fear slowly enveloped his face. Then just when he screamed....)*

Meowzie: Don't scream, please!

Morgana: It's just a healing spell!

Launchpad: Relax!

*(Catching himself, Meowth tried to make an excuse nervously)*

Meowth: (Nervously) I-I-I wasn't gonna scream! I was gonna say "Wow" loudly!

*(He chuckles nervously, but the groups flatly glared, not buying it. Then Meowth sighed, getting the looks and confessed)*

Meowth: Okay, I was gonna scream. *(Looks at his healed shoulder)* But honestly, my group I never saw a healing spell like this before.

*(He and his group looked at Meowzie with curiosity)*

Liquidator: Where did you get that kind of power?

*(Meowzie reveals a gold pendant by pulling it out of her fur's neck rim)*

Meowzie: I was born with them. And this medallion actually gives me the power whenever I sing that incantation. It even helps me with other spells I can make. Such as blasting elemental blasts like fire, ice, you name them.

Meowth's group: Wow.

Tails: Is that why Splatter Phoenix and those creeps were after you?

Meowzie: Yes. They consider me Splatter Phoenix's fountain of youth for selfish reasons. Heck, that was why I was kidnapped by them a year ago, and most recently, yesterday.

Meowth: A year ago?

Meowzie: Uh-huh.

Steelbeak: You mean...?

Meowzie: Yes.

Megavolt: What happened?

Meowzie: Like I pointed out before, when I was little, I was abandoned by my parents as a kitten, yet I never knew why they did that.

*(She tucked her medallion in her fur again)*

Meowzie: Anyway, a year ago, I was doing fine on my own, taking care of myself, hoping to one day solve the mystery of my abandonment, when Splatter Phoenix, Merlock, and Dijon came and kidnapped me. I was forced to keep Splatter Phoenix young and beautiful forever with my healing spells. And then a week ago, I escaped and that was why I was hiding in the outskirts of Agrabah, to avoid falling into their hands again. And then come yesterday, I was kidnapped again when they found me, but thankfully....

*(She looks at Sonic's group with a soft smile, and they understood)*

Sonic's group: Got rescued by us.

Meowzie: (Nods with a smile) Exactly.

*(Impressed by her backstory, Meowth smiled with his group and spoke up)*

Meowth: Wow. And I thought *our* lives were rough.

Launchpad: You told your backstory really well.

Darkwing: And with such spirit, as well.

Meowzie: Thanks.

*(They then turned to Meowth's group)*

Meowzie: (To Meowth) And your name, again, is...?

Meowth: It's just Meowth. What about you?

Meowzie: Mine's Meowzie.

Meowth: Wow. Meowzie. That's a beautiful name. And your beauty matches your name well.

*(Meowzie smiled at the compliment. Then they changed the subject)*

Sonic: Anyway, you said, Meowth's group, you want to prove yourselves redeemed, right?

Meowth: More than anything. I mean, we just did a moment ago, and....

Steelbeak: And besides, you gave me a chance when I proved myself redeemed.

*(Understanding Meowth and his group's decision after hearing Steelbeak, Sonic's group and Meowzie gave in)*

Sonic's group: Okay.

Darkwing: We'll let you stay at the palace again.

Morgana: It may take a while to get used to you, but....

Meowth's group: But what?

Morgana: You just gotta hide until we tell the others at the right time.

Quackerjack: What does that mean?

Sonic: What Morgana means is that until we tell the others to accept you, you just gotta stay hidden in a hidden cage in the garden.

Meowth's group: (Unaware of what Sonic said at first) Oh, that's nice. we can try....

*(Suddenly their eyes widened in shock and realization on what Sonic just said)*

Meowth's group: What?!

*(Later, they wind up locked in a revealed hidden cage back at the palace in the garden. They are still horrified on what Sonic just said. Sonic puts the key in Chip's hand as he speaks up)*

Sonic: Don't worry. We'll make sure to prove your worthiness.

Tails: Believe us, we did that by telling the truth that we're not princes, especially saving the kingdom.

Steelbeak: I'm sure Cloud and Aerith will accept you once they cool down if they see you.

*(Meowth's group calms down)*

Meowth's group: Okay.

Bushroot: We're counting on you, guys.

*(They look at Meowzie)*

Meowth: Listen, Meowzie, if we are gonna win the others over, be sure to prove our worthiness *and* sincerity with your magic.

Liquidator: As well as explanations.

Meowzie: (Nods) Of course.

*(Then with that, Sonic pushed a button on a nearby pedestal and the cage lowered down beneath the garden's trapdoor. Then the trapdoor closed, completely hiding Meowth's group's cage)*

Sonic: Now, we just need to make that Sally's group doesn't see Meowth's group until we got them prepared.

Sally's group: (Voice-over) Prepare for what?

*(Sonic's group gasped and looked nervous. Then Sally's group arrived, wearing the same clothes they wore on the day Vanitas' group took over and when Sonic's group told them the truth about not being princes. And with them are Balto and Jenna)*

Knuckles: Uh.... To notice the stain Tails got on the new shirt you got him.

Tails: Yes.

Steelbeak: That's right.

Cosmo: (Looking) I don't see a stain.

Minerva: See?

Launchpad: No problem!

Knuckles: Come on. Let's get going to dinner.

*(Sally's group got suspicious and confused)*

Amy: But it's a little early for dinner now.

Sally: Guys, what's the matter?

Sonic: (Nervously) Oh, nothing, nothing! Everything's okay!

Cosmo: (Playfully) You aren't trying to hide anything from me and my sisters, huh?

Amy: (Playfully) Anymore secrets?

Jenna: You remember how...?

Tails: (Chuckling nervously) Secrets? *(Normally)* No way!

Knuckles: We almost lost you that way once. We're not letting that happened again.

Balto: (Relieved) Oh, that's a relief.

*(Sonic and Sally's groups smiled at each other as they lean in to kiss each other. Suddenly the ground begins to shake)*

Others: What?

*(The fountain nearby begins to fire up water which begins to twisted around like a tornado. The others look as something popped out. It is a familiar Mobian crocodile riding on a surfboard happily wearing sandals, blue shorts, a Hawaiian flowered shirt, and sunglasses. It's Vector the Crocodile. And with him are Vanilla the Rabbit and two other rabbit children and a creature. The first rabbit child is a 6 year old female rabbit with light orange fur, orange markings on her head, eyes, and ear tips, a black nose, white skin on her muzzle, dark orange eyes, and wearing an orange sleeveless dress with a white Peter Pan collar, a blue ribbon on her neck collar, white gloves with a yellow cufflink, white socks, and orange and yellow shoes. The second rabbit child is a 4 year old male rabbit with the same coloration as his sister, dark orange eyes, and wearing a blue baseball cap, a baby blue short-sleeved shirt, navy blue pants, and yellow shoes. And the creature is a male creature with blue skin, yellow markings and a yellow ball floating above his teardrop-shaped head, royal blue eyes, small pink angel-like wings, and wearing a red bowtie. And Vector and Vanilla's obviously back from their vacation bringing their luggages)*

Vector: Yee-haw!

*(They jumped off his board and lands in front of the group)*

Vector: He's cool, he's magical, he's back!!!!

Vanilla: Along with us!

Rabbit children: Yeah!

Creature: (Happily) Chao, chao!

Sonic's group: (Happily) Vector and Vanilla!

Sally's group: You're back home!

*(The group hugs Vector who suddenly begins to turn red and not because of blushing)*

Vector: Yeow! WATCH THE SUNBURN!!

*(The others let go startled. Vector smiled as he turns back to normal)*

Vector: (Laughs) Kidding! So did anyone here missed me? Be honest.

Group: We did.

Minerva: (Looking at the rabbit children and creature) And who are these cuties?

*(Realizing, Vanilla and Vector introduced them)*

Vector: These are our kids.

Vanilla: That's right.

Tails: You had kids?

Vector: Yep. Courtesy of my magic.

Vanilla: This is our son and daughter, Toby the Rabbit and Cream the Rabbit.

Group: Toby and Cream?

Vector: We came up with those names.

*(The rabbit children, now revealed to be Toby and Cream, nods)*

Creature: (Happily agreeing) Chao, chao.

Cream: And this is mine and Toby's best friend, Cheese the Chao. And he is cute.

Toby: Yep-er-rooney!

Vector: Anyway, take care of these, my fine man.

*(Vector then handed his luggage to Chip. The weight of them was too much for the fairy creature who succeed to fall to the ground, his face covered by some of them)*

Chip: (Muffled) Ouch.

Vector: Sorry. Should've told you that they were heavy. *(Laughing)* Guess what? Vanilla and I brought home souvenirs!

*(Vector and Vanilla then puts a sombrero on Tails' head, gives a huge teddy bear to Sally's group, and puts a baseball cap on Chip's head, a little flag in one hand, and a hot dog on a bun in the other. And the others got little action figures, Steelbeak got an action figure of a Hawaiian girl doing the hula)*

Steelbeak: Thanks, Vector, Vanilla! It even dances.

Meowzie: This is incredible.

*(Vector's family noticed Meowzie and Vector kissed her hand politely, making Vanilla giggle, for she knows Vector loves her and he is just being polite to Meowzie)*

Vector: *Enchante*, *madame*. What's your name?

Meowzie: Meowzie.

Vanilla: (To Meowzie) Pretty name. *(To the group)* Where did she come from?

*(Later, all of Meowzie's backstory was revealed)*

Vector: (Imitating a psychiatrist) I see. Now you're free because of them?

Group: Yep.

Sonic: And about you and your family's experience, Vector, you saw the whole world in a week already?

Vanilla: (To Sonic) That's right. *(To Vector)* Right, dear?

*(Vector then splits into five little Vectors, each dressed from a certain Disneyland and Walt Disney World ride)*

Mini Vectors: **It’s a small world after all**

*(Vector then changed back to normal)*

Vector: There is one thing Agrabah has that nowhere in the world does.

*(The crocodile Mobian then turns into a green rocket, lights himself, and blasted around the whole place)*

Vector: (Happily) You guys!

Vanilla: Explain away.

*(Vector then begins to sing about his trip, as we see scenes from the places he visited appeared in the background)*

Vector: **We parachuted down**

**Into the Taj Mahal**

**We've rollerbladed**

**Along the great Great Wall**

**We even made the famous**

**Leaning Tower fall**

**But who was with me and my fam through it all?**

**Nobody**

**The Moscow Circus**

**Hired us to fly trapeze**

**On Mount Olympus**

**Ran a race with Hercules**

**It's easy when you're chased by killer bees**

**Who said "Geshundheit" when I sneezed?**

*(He sneezed)*

Vector: **So now we're home**

**Home again with you**

**You chase the clouds away**

**Whenever I am blue**

Sonic: (Laughing) You're never blue like me.

Vector: **Not in the pyramids**

**We highly recommend**

**There is nothing in the world**

**Quite like a friend**

**Slept like a babe in Bombay**

**On a bed of nails**

**Moroccans set our fairy tales**

**Of seven veils**

**We single-handedly**

**Even saved the whales**

**Yet no one was there to hear our tales**

*(Vector cries a bit then resumes singing happily)*

Vector: **In Acapulco**

**We joined a Mariachi band**

**We rode the ragin' rapids**

**Down the Rio Grande**

**Flew in a air balloon**

**But when we tried to land**

**Nobody laughed**

**Or lent a hand**

**Without you, the Amazon is**

**Just a trickle**

**Without you, the Sahara's**

**Not so hot**

**Without you, Niagara Falls**

**Is just a leaky faucet**

**And the Huey II**

**Is just some yacht**

**Now that we're home**

**Home again, it's clear**

**All we ever wanted**

**Seems to be right here**

**We'd traveled East and West**

*(Vector then proceeds to make heads appeared from his shoulders looking east and west)*

Vector: **And now, we're back again**

*(Then he changes his head back to normal)*

Vector: **And there's nothing in the world**

Vanilla: **Quite like a friend....**

Males: **There’s nothing in the world**

Females: **Nothing in the whole wide world**

Group: **There’s nothing in the world**

**Quite like a friend**

*(The group concluded the song as we zoom away from the palace to Earth in space. Then Vector appeared next to Earth and spins it on a fingertip)*

Vector: **Nothing in the whole wide world**

*(The song over, Sonic changed the subject, with nighttime now here)*

Sonic: So Vector. How is freedom treating you?

Vector: To be honest.... I LOVE IT!!

*(Vector jumps up happily but yelps as he breaks his back before landing back onto the ground)*

Vector: Okay, maybe my powers aren't great as they used to be.

*(Vector shrunk down to small size)*

Vector: But don't sell me short.

*(He grew back to his normal size)*

Vector: I may be out of the lamp, but I still have some magic in me.

*(Vector transformed into a magician with a smile)*

Vector: The croc can still do it

*(Vector made a fox appear on his hand. The fox however grabs his face and chomps it off, concerning Vanilla and making Cream, Cheese, and Toby giggle at first until Vanilla sternly glared at them, making them stop. Vector yelped as he reached into the fox's mouth and puts his face back on before getting rid of it)*

Vector: (Sheepishly) Hate to lose a face like that. One more chance!

*(Vector made a box appeared in front of them and a saw in his hand)*

Vector: Who wants to go first? *(Giggles)* I am great at this!

Steelbeak: As much as we wanted to help and all.

Knuckles: I'm afraid we got to go now.

Cosmo: It's dinnertime.

Vector: (Glumly) Oh, I see. You want a romantic dinner for the three couples. I guess you don't one magical crocodile and his family around to mess things up.

Vanilla: Vector....

Cream and Toby: Papa....

Group: Listen....

Vector: (Turning away) No, no. Just go on. Three's a crowd after all. You go on and have some fun.

*(The group smiled as Sally approached Vector, who is still unhappy)*

Sally: Vector, we would be honored if you and your family joined us for dinner.

*(Vector then smiles happily as he turned back)*

Vector: (Hopefully) You would?

*(The group nods)*

Vanilla: Sally is, after all, my care, alongside Cosmo and Amy.

Vector: (Happily) All right! Let's go in there and chow down!

Cream and Toby: Yay!

Cheese: (Happily) Chao, chao!

*(Vector hugs the group as he ran to the palace)*

Vector: Cooking's my treat!

*(The whole group headed for the palace. Well, almost. Sonic stops Chip before he could go in)*

Sonic: Chip, you have to stay out here and do your job.

Chip: Aw, geez. What?

Sonic: Remember? You got to guard Meowth's group. Make sure no one sees them until we tell the others, got it?

*(Chip frowned, but sighed as he goes back to guard Meowth's group's hidden cage. As Sonic turned and headed to the palace, he looked concerned about something. Vector's family appeared in front of him)*

Vector: Giddy-up, Sonic!

Vanilla: What's keeping you?

Sonic: Well, it's nothing. *(A short pause)* Maybe something. *(Pushes Vector's family ahead gently)* I'll tell you later.

*(Then with that, they headed in to have dinner, and await what Cloud and Aerith have to announce about Sonic's group)*
