Knuckles the Echidna is Saved/Amy's Part of Your World (Reprise)

It was very early morning when Amy and her sisters dragged Knuckles and his brothers to the shore. As the girls laid them on the sand, Amy, Sally, and Cosmo fixed their gazes at their loves. The normal echidna, the normal hedgehog, and the normal two-tailed fox still had their eyes closed and were very wet. Still not breathing at all. Amy, Sally, and Cosmo waited for Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails to wake up and breathe but it seemed like they wouldn't! Fear grew inside Amy and her sisters. What if they were too late? They noticed Jeremy landing down on the sand. He had survived the storm. As he walked over to inspect Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails, Amy, Sally, and Cosmo hoped that he could tell them about Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails' condition.

"Are they - dead?" Amy asked in a worried manner.

"They must've drowned." Sally asked worriedly.

"What if we're too late?" asked a worried Cosmo, as Jeremy opened each one of Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails' eyes with his fingers. He studied Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails' still lifeless violet, green, and blue eyes for two seconds before closing them.

"It's hard to say." he said. That made Amy, Sally, and Cosmo more worried!

Then Jeremy walked around Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails and stopped at their feet. Amy, Sally, and Cosmo just noticed that Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails had lost their shoes and socks at the sea. Jeremy picked up each one of Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails' bare feet and put it to his ear. He listened to Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails' feet for a few seconds before slowly putting them down. Jeremy's eyes grew sad. "Oh," he sighed. "I - I can't make out a heartbeat."

Just then, the little merhog, the little mer-squirrel/chipmunk hybrid, and the little mer-Seedrian noticed Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails moving a bit. "No, look!" Amy exclaimed, "They're breathing."

Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails were breathing in and out in small breaths. Although their eyes were still closed, the normal male Mobians had managed to open their mouths to get air. Amy, Sally, and Cosmo felt their hearts rejoice since Knuckles and his brothers were not dead after all! "Aren't they beautiful?" asked Sally.

"They're even more handsome up close." said Cosmo, as she and her big sisters stroked their wet sandy pink, red, and green bangs across their lovers' foreheads. Then Amy, Sally, and Cosmo lifted Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails' faces and turned toward them. They continued to hold the echidna, hedgehog, and fox's faces as they sang to them.

Amy: *What would we give*
*To live where you are?*

Sally: *What would we pay*
*To stay here beside you*

Cosmo: *What would we do to see you*
*Smiling at us?*

As they were singing, another medium-sized wave rolled over the shore. The wave revealed a tired Silver and Charmy and an exhausted Basil. They all lied down on the soft rocks. Basil lifted his eyes up upon the shore. He couldn't believe his eyes! When Basil saw Amy, Sally, and Cosmo singing to Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped! Jeremy walked over to Basil, closed his jaw, and smiled at the scene.

Amy: *Where would we walk?*
*Where would we run*

Sally: *If we could stay all day in the sun?*

As soon as Sally and her little sisters kept singing, the sun rose and peeked out from the clouds. Its sun rays kissed Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails' faces. The striped princes began to stir more a bit. Slowly they raised their hands and touched Amy, Sally, and Cosmo's hands which felt smooth. The normal male Mobians opened their eyes just a tiny bit and only saw the female mer-Mobians in the sunlight.

Cosmo: *Just you and us*

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo: *And we could be*
*Part of your world*

"Pikachu! Pika, pika! Pi! Pika, pika, chu!"

A voice was heard in a distance. Amy and her sisters turned their heads to see Pikachu running toward them. As much as Sally, Amy, and Cosmo wanted to stay beside Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails, they knew that being discovered by a creature, a normal echidna, a normal hedgehog, and a normal fox was too much of a risk to take. Thus, they quickly left and dived into the ocean. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles wanted to beg their mystery rescuers to stay but they were still tired and weak. Pikachu licked their faces.

"Sonic! Knuckles! Tails!" called another voice, "Oh, Sonic, Knuckles, Tails."

It was LeFou, and he ran over. He had thought that Knuckles and his brothers were gone forever. He was so relieved to find them at the shore. LeFou grabbed Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails by the arms and help them stand up. "You really delight in these sadistic strains on my blood pressure, don't you?" he said, as he wiped his forehead with relief. Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails didn't listen and only shook their heads a bit.

"Three girls - rescued us." Knuckles said, as he, Sonic, and Tails stared at Amy, Sally, and Cosmo, "They were - singing." added Sonic. "They had the most - beautiful voices." Tails finished. He and his big brothers didn't know who had rescued them but they felt eternally grateful to these girls. Somehow they had fallen in love with them. Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails fell back a bit, only to be caught by LeFou.

"Ah, boys, I think you three've swallowed a bit too much seawater." LeFou said, smiling. He put his arms around Knuckles and Sonic, carried Tails on his back, and helped them toward the castle. "Off we go. Come on, Pikachu."

"Pika!" Pikachu called, "Pika, pika, chu!" The electric mouse Pokémon followed them close behind. Pikachu will find Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails' rescuers some other time. Knuckles and his brothers tried to argue that their rescuers were real, but they were still too tired to speak. Still, Knuckles, his big brother, and their little brother looked back to see if the mystery maidens were still around. They were still here all right. Hiding behind some rocks are where they, the mouse detective, the male white hedgehog, and the bee were located.

"We just gotta forget this whole thing ever happened. The street cat will never know." Basil said to Amy, her big sister, and their little sister, "You won't tell him, I won't tell him. I will stay in one piece." he concluded, nodding his head in a prayer.

But Sally, Cosmo, and Amy didn't listen; they only looked at Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as they continued singing.

Amy: *We don't know when*
*We don't know how*

Sally: *But we know something's starting right now*

Cosmo: *Watch and you'll see*

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo: *Some day, we'll be*
*Part of your world*

The waves hit from behind the rocks as Amy and her sisters belted out their last note. Little did they and their friends know that Raffish Ralph and Weasel McGreed had peeked out from the water with their magic eyes. Sailor Galaxia, Nehelenia, and Black Lady were watching Amy, Sally, and Cosmo again in their water crystal ball.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. We can't stand it." Sailor Galaxia laughed. "It's too easy," Nehelenia agreed, laughing. "The children are in love with three normal animals. And not just any normal animals - an echidna prince, a hedgehog prince, and a fox prince!" "Their uncle'll LOVE that." smirked Black Lady.

After having another chuckle or two, Sailor Galaxia and her sisters looked at their garden which is filled with-not coral or seaweed, polyps!

"King Top Cat's headstrong, lovesick girls would make charming additions to my little garden." sneered Sailor Galaxia.

"Oh, yes!" grinned Black Lady.

She and her big sisters cackled evilly. They finally had a plan of how to overthrow King Top Cat, and they can't wait to get started on it!

Meanwhile at the underwater kingdom, the princesses were in their bedroom, fixing themselves up around the circular wall of vanity mirrors. Sonia stood by in front of the door with green seaweed.

"Amy, Sally, Cosmo, girls, time to come out!" she called, "You've been in there all morning!"

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo swam out through the door, humming very cheerfully. Sonia and the others stared at their little sisters as they sat down by three of the mirrors.

"What is with them lately?" asked a confused Rouge.

The others didn't answer because they were as just as confused as Rouge was. After checking that their spiky, pink hair and quills, their red hair, and their green hair were in good shape, Sally, Cosmo, Amy took a pink sea flower, a baby blue sea flower, and a light green sea flower and swam off, only to bump into their uncle.

"Morning, Uncle Top Cat." Amy said.

"Such a beautiful day!" Sally sighed.

"Oh, indeed, yes." Cosmo agreed, nodding.

Top Cat smiled and chuckled as Sally and Amy tucked the pink and light green sea flowers behind his ears while Cosmo placed the baby blue sea flower on his chest. He and his other nieces watched Amy, Sally, and Cosmo singing as they swam merrily away. He couldn't quite figure out why Amy, her big sister, and their little sister were so happy today.

"Oh, they've got it bad." said Rouge.

"What?" asked Top Cat, still not getting it, "What have they got?"

"Isn't it obvious, Uncle Top Cat?" Sonia asked, "Amy, Sally, and Cosmo are love." And she sighed in content as Top Cat took the flowers out from behind his ears and off of his chest.

"Amy?" he repeated of what Cosmo said, "In love?"

Meanwhile, Basil paced around in circles near a rock. He was trying his best to stay calm. "O.K. So far, so good," he said. "I don't think the king knows."

As he kept walking around in circles, petals kept falling down on him. At every five seconds, Basil'd blow the petals away from him.

"But it will not be easy keeping something like this a secret for long." he went on.

Sally, Amy, and Cosmo giggled dreamily, their eyes unfocused, minds obviously somewhere else as they pulled on the flowers' petals.

"They love us . . ." Sally smiled, before she, Amy, and Cosmo threw them away. Then, they picked more petals.

"Hmmm, they love us not. . . ." Amy said. She and her sisters frowned, before tossing them. At last, Sally, Amy, and Cosmo perked up when they picked the last petals.

"They love us! We knew it!" the mer-sisters squealed and giggled. Their outburst worried Basil more!

"Girls, stop talking crazy." Basil told them. He hoped King Top Cat didn't hear them. Sally and her little sisters weren't listening.

"We gotta see them again - tonight!" Amy said to the mouse detective.

"Jeremy knows where they live." said Sally, as she, Cosmo, and Amy lept from the rock and began to swim in a very excited manner.

"Girls, please." Basil pleaded, grabbing onto Cosmo's tail, "Will you get your heads out of the clouds and back in the water where they belong?"

But Cosmo and her big sisters were too busy thinking of how to meet Tails and his big brothers. "We'll swim up to their castle," she said, as she, Sally, and Amy made a dash and left poor Basil behind, who had lost his grip. "Then Silver and Charmy will splash around to get their attention, and then with-"

"Down *here* is your home!" Basil called. He was becoming slightly annoyed, as he swam up to the little merhog, the little mer-squirrel/chipmunk hybrid, and the little mer-Seedrian.

Why couldn't Amy, Sally, and Cosmo understand that?
