Nursing Granite the Earth Giant Back to Health/Parents and Sons Bond (Sonicladdin 3 (Version 1) Version)

*(After following Tink and Terrence, everyone soon arrived with the two to the very spot they found this Earth Giant, and sure enough, as Terrence and Tink pointed out in the last chapter, he is injured badly on his right forearm, with a big cracked gash-like wound and only mud was spilling a bit from the wound, representing his blood. And around the Earth Giant, are his other Earth Giant brethren and even some of the animals, Air Spirits, who are obviously brethren to Gale, Light Fairies, who are also obviously brethren to Iridsella, and Fire Salamanders, who are also obviously brethren to Bruni. Everyone soon got shocked, although the Badnik Thieves and Fat Tony’s gang stood back with calm concerned looks)*

Female fairy 1: My goodness….

Male fairy 1: He *is* injured….

*(Vanilla then noticed the Earth Giant’s cut and winced in discomfort)*

Vanilla: Ooh! That is bleeding mud instead of blood terribly!

*(Hearing her, the Earth Giant noticed her and the expedition, and got calmly angry as he gave a low gravely growl. Upon seeing him do that, Bushroot immediately realized who that Earth Giant is)*

Bushroot: (Nervously) Uh, that must be the same Earth Giant that separated us earlier.

*(Even Spike nods nervously in agreement. Oberon then reassured the two of them)*

Oberon: It’ll be fine.

*(He then turned to Meowzie)*

Oberon: Meowzie, you have healing magic, right?

Meowzie: (Nods in an understanding way) Yes.

*(Then she approached the Earth Giant cautiously as the Earth Giant growled softly. Then after Meowzie arrived up to the Earth Giant’s injured arm, Thumbelina, Longclaw, Tink, the Blue Fairy, and Celebi approached as well. Seeing the five coming up, the Earth Giant eased down calmly)*

Blue Fairy: (Soothingly) It’ll be fine.

*(Meowzie then gently placed her hands on the Earth Giant’s cut, but upon her touching it, the Earth Giant reacted in pain and roared in pain, surprising everyone, even scaring the animals, Air Spirits, Fire Salamanders, Light Fairies, and non-serious people that they immediately backed off a bit. Then the Earth Giant roared angrily in Meowzie’s face, literally blowing wind from his loud roar in her face. Then as soon as that’s done, Meowzie started scolding him, apparently understanding his Earth Giant language since she has magic powers from Shirabad)*

Meowzie: (Scoldingly) Well, if you’d just stay still and stop screaming, it won’t hurt much!

*(The Earth Giant loudly growled a bit)*

Meowzie: Relax!

*(The Earth Giant suddenly got surprised, that his anger immediately turned to surprise due to Stellaluna actually ordering him around, giving a graveled groan of confusion. Even the other Earth Giants, other Air Spirits, other Light Fairies, and other Fire Salamanders, got surprised. Then they look at Bruni, Gale, and Iridsella, who then nods with calm smug smiles, as if saying “Meowzie knows what’s she’s doing right now.” Getting those looks from the three, they calmed down and watched Meowzie, Thumbelina, Tink, the Blue Fairy, Sonia, Manic, and Longclaw carefully cleaning the Earth Giant’s wound with some water from both Vector’s magic and Liquidator's water abilities from his own body. Meowzie then gently places her hands on the wound again, and this time, she then sang her incantation)*

Meowzie: **Flower, gleam and glow**

**Let your power shine**

**Make the clock….**

*(Then she noticed the wound not glowing by her glow, much to her and everyone else’s, except the Shirabad civilians, confusion. Then on cue as she stopped singing upon noticing this, Meowzie stopped glowing)*

Manic: Why isn’t your healing magic working here?

Meowzie: I don’t know. I’m singing the right incantation, but….

*(Then Tink took a closer look as the wound and realized)*

Tink: I think you need to do another incantation.

Meowzie: (Curiously) Another incantation?

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: (Nods) Yes.

Celebi: That incantation can heal these kind of wounds with my power.

Zorua: But if someone is dying and far from saving, then my powers will help that incantation ease the dying one out of his or her pain.

Blue Fairy: In fact, Thumbelina sang that song for you, Meowzie, as a lullaby.

*(Meowzie turned to Thumbelina in interest)*

Meowzie: Really?

Thumbelina: (Nods) Yes.

*(Thumbelina then began singing the other incantation)*

Thumbelina: ***A naoidhean bhig*, *cluinn mo ghuth* (Little baby, hear my voice)**

***Mise ri d’ thaobh*, *Ó mhaighdean bhàn* (I’m beside you, O maiden fair)**

***Ar rìbhinn òg*, *fàs a’s faic* (Our young lady, grow and see)**

***Do thìr*, *dìleas fhéin* (Your land, your own faithful land)**

***A ghrian a’s a ghealach*, *stiùir sinn* (Sun and moon, guide us)**

***Gu uair ar cliù ‘s ar glòir* (To the hour of our glory and honor)**

***Naoidhean bhig*, *ar rìbhinn òg* (Little baby, our young lady)**

***Mhaighdean uasal bhàn* (Noble maiden fair)**

*(As she sang this, she glowed and this time, the wound slowly glowed with her. Then as she finished singing, she then sang again, this time with Meowzie, now getting it, Tink, the Blue Fairy, Longclaw, and Celebi joining in)*

Meowzie, Longclaw, Thumbelina, Tink, Blue Fairy, and Celebi: ***A naoidhean bhig*, *cluinn mo ghuth* (Little baby, hear my voice)**

***Mise ri d’ thaobh*, *Ó mhaighdean bhàn* (I’m beside you, O maiden fair)**

***Ar rìbhinn òg*, *fàs a’s faic* (Our young lady, grow and see)**

***Do thìr*, *dìleas fhéin* (Your land, your own faithful land)**

***A ghrian a’s a ghealach*, *stiùir sinn* (Sun and moon, guide us)**

***Gu uair ar cliù ‘s ar glòir* (To the hour of our glory and honor)**

***Naoidhean bhig*, *ar rìbhinn òg* (Little baby, our young lady)**

***Mhaighdean uasal bhàn* (Noble maiden fair)**

*(Then as they sang together, the wound got enveloped in the glow even more as everyone watched in calm amazement and silence. Then as soon as the six finished their song, the glow died down, and surprise, surprise, the wound is now gone, for the other incantation has healed it. Even everyone else was calmly and silently amazed by what they saw. Soon enough, Sonic and Tails figured it out)*

Sonic: So, the day Meowzie was born….

Tails: You, Mom, were the former thief who, along with Thumbelina, was bestowed the same healing magic as Meowzie, Latios, and the goddesses….

Chuck: (Nods in agreement) Hence why she helped Meowzie heal your wound earlier, Sonic.

Longclaw: Yes.

*(The Earth Giant then looked at his healed arm, and softly groaned a bit as he looked at Meowzie in gratitude)*

Meowzie: You’re welcome.

*(Iridsella then flew up to Meowzie)*

Iridsella: Meowzie….

*(She points at Meowzie’s ring, and as soon as Meowzie looked at it, she then noticed that the green crystal is now bright. She then smiled softly)*

Meowzie: One more element left to tame, and that’s water.

*(Then the Earth Giant gently stroked Meowzie with his finger to get her attention, much to everyone’s notice)*

Meowth: (To the Earth Giant) What?

*(The Earth Giant then picked up a nearby thick stick and wrote his name on the ground, and it reads….)*

Cosmo: “Granite.”

Lola: You wrote that because you’re telling us, the newcomers, your name.

*(Interested, the expedition turned to the Earth Giant, now revealed to be Granite)*

Knuckles: Wow, so Granite’s your name.

*(Granite nods with a calm soft smile. Later, back at the village, everyone is hanging around while Granite is sitting nearby the village, on guard with Bruni, Iridsella, Latios, and the goddesses, but Gale is nowhere to be seen. Nearby the river, Sonic, Sally, Darkwing, Vector, and Chuck’s groups, Chip, Team Rocket, the Fearsome Four, Balto, Jenna, Thumbelina, Cornelius, Meowzie, and even Doom, the Toon Patrol, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts are hanging out together, eating some dry meat, and Manic is the only one up on a nearby tree canopy above them, on the lookout for something)*

Quackerjack: (Trying to chew his dry meat) Sheesh, even though this dry meat is crunchy, it’s hard to chew it.

*(He takes his piece out of his mouth)*

Quackerjack: Like rubber.

Fawn: (Her mouth full) Well…. *(Swallows her chewed piece)* You just gotta munch on it really hard.

*(She then bites another part of her dry meat really hard and with one powerful tug with her hand and her head, she breaks a chunk off and chews on it really hard. Quackerjack tried it again on his piece, and surprisingly, he succeeded this time. Then he swallowed his chewed piece)*

Quackerjack: You were right. That worked.

Fawn: See?

Rosetta: Well, it’s like they always say; Practice makes perfect.

*(She bites his chunk and eats it. Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts then turned to Meowzie)*

Scratch: Well, I gotta say, what you did for that Earth Giant….

Coconuts: We’re impressed.

Grounder: And besides, he is lucky that wound isn’t mortal, otherwise Zorua using her magic with that incantation would’ve whacked him instead.

Stupid: (Confused) “Whacked?”

Smart Guy: He meant “Whacked” as in….

*(He then makes a throat slit gesture, making Stupid realize)*

Stupid: (To Smart Guy) Oh, *killed* him. *(To Grounder)* Sorry, I didn’t know what you meant before.

Steelbeak: It’s just that some of us don’t understand mafia language like you do easily.

Morgana: It’s just confusing to those who don’t know it.

Grounder: It’s alright.

Coconuts: (Shrugs casually) Not everyone could understand.

*(Then they, along with Manic, see Fat Tony’s gang approach them upon hearing them walk up to them)*

Scratch: Oh, hey, Boss, guys.

Tails: What are you doing here?

*(Fat Tony shrugs casually)*

Fat Tony: Just checkin’ on ya, mostly Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts.

Legs: Is that a crime?

Doom: (Nonchalantly) Not really.

Johnny: Well, mind if we hang out for a bit?

Doom: (Objecting politely) We’re perfectly….

Rest of group: (At the same time Doom said the above line) Yes!

Darkwing: Even though you threatened my sultan and sultaness yesterday, the others and I don’t see why you can’t, considering you let your three capos *(Gestures to Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts)* hang out with us.

*(Fat Tony’s gang then sat down with them, with Fat Tony and Johnny pulling their respective cigar and cigarette out and lit them with their lighters)*

Cream: Um, Mr. Fat Tony…?

Fat Tony: We know….

*(Fat Tony and Johnny closed up their lighters and puts them away. Then Fat Tony puffs on his cigar a bit and blew some smoke out into the air)*

Fat Tony: (Nods) Smoking is bad.

Johnny: (Puts his cigarette onto his lips) We *are* honestly trying to quit.

*(He puffs his cigarette a bit and blew some smoke as well)*

Chip: Want my advice? The best way to quit quickly, is to find something healthy to be addicted to do instead.

Sophia: Like Chip, for example, he used to have a huge total obsession with treasure.

Chip: But eventually, I overcame it, a little. I eventually came to be obsessed and addicted to….

*(He pulls out a celery stick)*

Chip: Vegetables.

*(He bites and eats the celery stick. Legs then turned to Louie)*

Legs: Told ya vegetables are good for you.

Louie: I’d rather eat fruit and certain vegetables I like than vegetables I don’t like.

*(Then Johnny took his cigarette off his lips and squished it on the ground with his foot after dropping it)*

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: So…. What other things do you do besides your criminal activities?

Fat Tony: (Shrugs) The usual, like most other people do.

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: Such as?

Fat Tony: Cooking, skeet shooting, reading…. Heck, we even enjoy listening and singing great music.

*(The group, while Fat Tony dropped his cigar on the ground and squished it with his foot, then got calmly impressed, even Doom is somewhat impressed, despite not completely trusting towards Fat Tony’s gang)*

Doom: (Flatly) Huh.

Balto: I guess even mobsters *can* have normal hobbies and lives besides their usual crime activities.

Jenna: Such as smugling and stuff like that.

Scratch: Exactly.

*(Fat Tony’s gang then noticed Manic on the tree canopy above them, who waved back at them)*

Louie: (To the group) What’s Manic doin’ up there, on patrol?

Chuck: Yeah, we asked him to send Gale and some of his paper planes to go check on Cloud and Aerith, see how they are in their daughters and their friends’ absence.

Amy: It was our request.

Launchpad: No shame in checking up on them.

*(Then Gale and some paper planes arrived to Manic)*

Manic: So, how are Cloud and Aerith?

*(Back with the group, they are watching Manic conversing with Gale and the paper planes in the canopy, and then, Manic, Gale, and the paper planes slowly flew down, with Gale gently carrying Manic and then putting him down on the ground, to them, looking concerned, much to their notice as the group, except Fat Tony's gang, stood up)*

Sonia: How are Cloud and Aerith?

Manic: Well, Gale and the paper planes have both good news and bad news.

*(The group got confused, while Fat Tony’s gang just stood back, still seated, listening)*

Tails: What happened?

Manic: Well, the good news is they, along with the people of Agrabah, are doing fine.

*(The group got relieved)*

Sally: Wonderful.

*(Then the group got confused)*

Amy: And the bad news?

*(Marahute chirps in question. Manic, Gale, and the paper planes got calmly grim, and Manic then proceeded to tell them in a calm grim way)*

Manic: The bad news….

*(He looked at Sally’s group)*

Manic: Sally’s group….

*(Sally’s group got calmly concerned)*

Sally’s group: What?

Manic: (Sighs) Your parents informed Gale and the paper planes that…. Your grandmother has just passed away from natural causes….

*(Hearing those words, the group got calmly shocked. Even Sally’s group, upon hearing him say that, calmly felt shocked that their calm reaction resembled that they’ve been run over by a running train repeatedly. Watching this, Fat Tony’s gang was even calmly shocked at the news. The group looked at Sally’s group in calm concern)*

Darkwing: Princesses….

Launchpad: Sorry….

*(Sally’s group, slowly becoming sad calmly, collapsed on their knees. The group then sat next to them)*

Sonic’s group: Girls….

Knuckles: We know it hurts.

Cosmo: (In calm sadness) Our grandmother and us were really close.

*(Then Louie piped in in a joking tone, getting their attention)*

Louie: (Laughs a bit, sarcastically) Well, it’s like we always say; Whenever someone gives a good whack, they sleep with fishes harder.

*(He and Fat Tony’s gang laugh a bit. Hearing him say that, Sally’s group calmly start to tear up, about to cry. Noticing that in calm concern, the group and even Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts gave flat looks to Fat Tony’s gang that reads “Was that really necessary?” Noticing their looks, Fat Tony’s gang stopped their laughter calmly and got confused)*

Fat Tony’s gang: (Confused) What?

*(Then they heard Sally’s group calmly starting to cry softly. Seeing this, the group, mostly Sonic’s group, try to comfort them)*

Chuck: (Soothingly) Hey, hey….

Longclaw: (Soothingly) No need to cry, dears.

*(Sally’s group, after Sally pulls her light blue handkerchief out of her shorts pocket and began fiddling with it calmly, tearfully hugs each member of Sonic’s group for comfort, to which they did)*

Sonic: (Soothingly) It’ll be fine.

Tails: Even if your grandmother is gone, she’s there within you.

*(Sally’s group sobbed softly)*

Amy: (Crying) We know.

Cosmo: (Crying) That’s very sweet of you to say that, but it’s just….

*(She sobs)*

Cosmo: (Crying) We were so close since we were little girls.

Sally: (Crying) And just when we thought we were gonna visit her during our honeymoon.

*(Chuck’s group, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts got confused along with Fat Tony’s gang, who is watching this in silence)*

Chuck: What do you mean?

Longclaw: Did you make plans?

Agrabah group, except Sally’s group: Yeah.

Minerva: Marahute was, under Cloud and Aerith’s idea, gonna take Sonic and Sally’s groups to visit Sally’s group’s grandmother in another town near Agrabah.

Darkwing: As part of their honeymoon, after our mission to bring peace between Agrabah and Shirabad.

Milo: But now, hearing these devastating news, I guess it was all for nothing now.

*(Sally’s group then finished their tearful hug with Sonic’s group and Sally started to explain away while crying calmly and using her handkerchief to wipe her tears away)*

Sally: (Crying) It’s good enough that Sonic’s group and us are going to other places for our upcoming honeymoon, but this terrible turn of events….

*(She starts going on the verge of crying her eyes)*

Sally: (Starting to cry hysterically in a calm way) If we’d known, we never got to even see Grandma and say goodbye to her one last time!

*(She then broke down crying hysterically in her handkerchief while the group watched in calm silence and sympathy, with Megavolt, Quackerjack, and even Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts starting to tear up calmly, and Megavolt and Quackerjack pulling out their own light blue handkerchiefs that Sally gave them in the last story from their jumpsuit and pants pockets. Fat Tony’s gang, on the other hand, hearing this, were calmly speechless with a hint of sympathy, unsure what to do on the situation)*

Megavolt: (Starting to cry) Oh, gosh, this is too much...!

Quackerjack: (Starting to cry) Please stop your crying, girls…!

Scratch: (Starting to cry) It’s just heartbreaking to us…!

Grounder: (Starting to cry) You’re even making the five of us…!

Coconuts: (Starting to cry) Now look what you did…!

*(Then Megavolt, Quackerjack, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts broke down crying calmly, with Megavolt and Quackerjack blowing their noses on their handkerchiefs, as Bugs' group comforted them)*

Bugs' group: (Soothingly) There, there....

*(Seeing this in calm silence, Fat Tony’s gang then got calmly determined, got up, sat beside Sonic and Sally’s groups, and Fat Tony then gently placed his hand on Sally’s shoulder, calmly making her stop crying for a moment, unbury her face, and look at Fat Tony’s gang with her tearstained eyes and cheeks. Even Megavolt, Quackerjack, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts calmly stopped crying and listened and watched)*

Fat Tony: Hey.

Legs: You really think it’s over just because you lost someone?

Johnny: Well, it’s all part of the whole circle of life thing, know what we mean?

Louie: Just because your grandma’s gone, doesn’t mean she’s gone forever.

*(To the group’s calm surprise and amazement, Sally’s group then started to calmly ease down their sadness. Realizing Fat Tony’s gang is comforting Sally’s group, Sonic’s group then joined in)*

Sonic: They have a point. Sure, your grandmother's dead, but she’s there within you. In your heart.

*(He gently lays his hand on Sally’s chest where her heart is)*

Tails: (Gently wipes Cosmo’s tear away with his thumb) So, you don’t have to be sad forever.

Knuckles: (Agreeing) You still have us.

*(Fat Tony’s gang nods in agreement)*

Fat Tony: Even your fiancés agree.

*(Sally then sniffled. Noticing, Johnny groans a bit)*

Johnny: Your nose is stuffy.

*(Sally, realizing, then blew her nose on her handkerchief and then wiped her tears away)*

Sally: (Feeling a bit better upon finishing) Thanks.

Cosmo and Amy: (Agreeing, feeling a bit better) Yeah….

*(Fat Tony’s gang then proceeded to continue on)*

Fat Tony: Now, you and everyone else listen to me and my men, Princesses.

Louie: You got the makings of greatness in ya, along with your family and friends.

Legs: But you gotta take the stand and chart your own path.

Johnny: And to do so, stick to it, no matter the obstacles, and when the time comes….

Fat Tony: (Finishing, which Johnny lets him) You’ll get the chance to really test your skills and show everyone what you’re made of.

Legs: And to also do so, it’s alright to know when to move on from any tragedy you’ll come upon.

*(Feeling better calmly upon hearing this along with a now cheered up Megavolt, Quackerjack, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts, Sally’s group smiled softly as they blinked the last of their tears away and then, to Fat Tony’s gang’s calm surprise along with everyone else, Sally’s group immediately happily hugged them in gratitude, with Sally still holding her handkerchief. Even Sonic’s group, in gratitude, joined in the hug. Still calmly surprised along with everyone by Sonic and Sally’s groups suddenly hugging them in gratitude, Fat Tony’s gang then composed themselves by clearing their throats a bit and then got calmly tough, despite remaining soft and softly smiling a little bit)*

Fat Tony: Wow. Yesterday, we threatened the parents of the princesses, then today, we tried to kill you earlier due to Merlock’s group blackmailing us, but….

Louie: Uh, I think you’re suffocating us.

Legs and Johnny: Really tightly.

*(Realizing, Sonic and Sally’s groups got sheepish and stopped hugging them)*

Sonic and Sally’s groups: (Sheepishly apologetic) Sorry.

*(Sally then puts her handkerchief away in her shorts pocket while Megavolt and Quackerjack puts their handkerchiefs back in their jumpsuit and pants pockets. Then everyone stood up)*

Chuck: Well, shall we head back then?

Everyone: Yeah.

*(Then they head back to the village. Unknown to any of them, Negaduck, Hunch, and three NightMares secretly saw the whole thing with calm bitter looks within a bush. Then they left. With the group, once back at the village, Fat Tony’s gang then headed off somewhere)*

Xandra: Going to bed or on patrol?

*(Fat Tony’s gang turned to them)*

Fat Tony: Bed.

Louie: Even mobsters need a good night’s sleep.

Toby: (Shrugs in agreement) Who wouldn’t?

Vector: (Transforming into Rip Van Winkle) Rip Van Winkle wouldn’t.

*(Then he changed back. Then Fat Tony’s gang turned to Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts)*

Fat Tony: You gonna sleep with them?

Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts: (Nods) Yep.

Grounder: And we don’t mean with the fishes.

*(They, along with the group, chuckled a bit. Even Fat Tony’s gang smiled a bit at the joke. Then with that, Fat Tony’s gang left. Sonic's group, Chuck, Longclaw, Manic, and Sonia then began talking to each other)*

Chuck: You know, boys, my group and I, well….

Manic: We never saw Fat Tony’s gang comfort someone else like that before.

Sonic: Neither did me and my group.

Knuckles: It was just a big surprise to us.

Sonia: Normally, he and his men would never show sympathy to others due to being tough guys.

Tails: You said it, Sonia.

Longclaw: Couldn't agree with you more.

*(Gale then fluttered around Sonic and Sally’s groups happily, making them chuckle a bit)*

Meowzie: I guess Gale is saying “Good night” to us.

Sonic and Sally’s groups: (Nods with soft smiles) Obviously.

*(They turned to Gale)*

Group: Good night.

*(Gale nods a “Good night” back at them, and then flew off back on patrol with Bruni, Granite, Iridsella, Latios, and the goddesses. Chuck’s group then turned to Sonic’s group, changing the subject)*

Chuck’s group: Listen, Sonic, guys….

Sonic’s group: What?

Longclaw: I know we haven’t spent much too much time together.

Chuck: You know, due to us unexpectedly abandoning you.

Manic: As well as me and Sonia being born never knowing you three at first.

Sonia: That's right.

Tails: And like we said already, we forgave you for it.

Knuckles: But not forget it.

*(Vector's group and Chip then came up Sonic and Chuck’s groups)*

Chip: You know…. Vector and his family are experts when it comes to family quality times.

Vector: That’s right.

Cheese: (Nods happily) Chao, chao.

*(The rest of the group, understanding this, nods and decided to leave Sonic and Vector’s groups, Chuck, Longclaw, Manic, Sonia, and Chip alone for this)*

Liquidator: Well, it’s already 8:00 PM.

Meowzie: You have all the time you need to spend together.

Meowth: Take your time.

Thumbelina: We’ll meet you at the bonfire when you come back from that.

Cornelius: Have fun.

Jessie and James: And don't stay up too late.

Bugs' group: Like Jessie and James said.

Sonic and Chuck’s groups: (Nods) Okay!

*(They turned to Doom and the Toon Patrol)*

Launchpad: Do you mind on wishing them luck?

Doom and Smart Guy: (Shrugs in agreement) Meh, best of luck.

Greasy, Psycho, Wheezy, and Stupid: (Cheerfully) Be safe!

*(Then with that, Chuck’s group then led Sonic and Vector’s groups and Chip to a nearby bioluminescent crystal clear oasis-like spring in the forest, amazing Sonic and Vector’s groups and Chip)*

Sonic’s group, Vector’s group, and Chip: Wow….

Chip: So beautiful….

Sonic’s group: Is this oasis-like spring your hangout spot?

Chuck’s group: Yep.

Sonia: Even Cloud and Aerith, along with the rest of us, DW, LP, and Thumbelina and Cornelius' group, loved to hang out here with us before.

*(Impressed, Vector then got excited)*

Vector: Now this is the perfect spot for you guys to spend all the quality time you deserved!

Chip: (Excitedly and hopeful to Vector) Courtesy of us?

Vector: (Excitedly in agreement) Courtesy of us!

Vanilla: Take it away, Vector.

*(Then Vector, doing what Vanilla said, closed some curtains, changing the scene to a fortune teller’s tent, complete with a zodiac chart and crystal ball. He then appears as Sorcerer Mickey from “Fantasia” and conjures up a telescope. The lens turns toward the camera, showing Sonic's group, Chuck, and Longclaw riding on some stars with Sonia, Manic, and Chip happily magically pulling them like sled dogs)*

Vector: **It’s a big, bright, beautiful future**

**Thank your lucky stars you’re together**

*(Vector then changes into Sagittarius)*

Vector: **Y’all got someone special to talk to**

*(Then he changes into Gemini)*

Vector: **Some friends that you can trust for life**

*(A comet whizzes by and changes the scene again. Vector’s group appeared together, and the former opens up two flaps of his scaly skin, revealing several neckties underneath the right side for Chuck and several beaded necklaces underneath the left for Longclaw. He then takes one necktie with red and blue stripes and snares Chuck and Longclaw, as well as Sonic’s group, in it with his face on the front)*

Vector: **You’ve been on your own**

Vanilla: **With no family ties**

Cream: **But those solo days are done**

Toby: **You’ll be fourteen of a kind**

Chip: **Spending quality time together**

Vector's group: **As parents and sons**

*(Vector conjures up a pirate ship, then he appears with Chuck, Longclaw, Manic, and Sonia, riding a fish. Then they rode together on the lagoon with Sonic’s group)*

Vector and Manic: **Buildin’ model ships**

Vector and Sonia: **Takin’ fishin’ trips**

Vector and Vanilla: **Workin’ hand in hand**

*(Vector’s hands then each conjured up two paint cans and brushes for Chuck and Longclaw, and three lawnmowers for Sonic’s group, who then takes off with them and even an excited Chip, Manic, and Sonia)*

Vector: **Paintin’ the palace**

Chip: **Mowin’ the sand**

*(Vector then appears as a referee on a football field)*

Vector: **First and ten to go**

*(Chuck, Longclaw, Manic, Sonia, and Sonic’s group run across, with Manic carrying a football)*

Vector's group and Chip: **With your parent-o’s**

*(Vector then hits the field with a hammer, causing it to break like ice, and the twelve fell through a space-like background complete with a gravity-defying waterfall)*

Vector: **Once you break the ice**

*(Then, Vector appears as Albert Einstein in front of a chalkboard)*

Vector: (Imitating Einstein) **You can postulate parental advice**

*(He still appears as Einstein, but with his face on the planet Saturn)*

Vector: (Imitating Einstein) **See, you’re traveling at the speed of light**

Cream: (Agreeing) **That’s the theory of relatives**

*(Vector then changes back and catches Sonic’s group, Manic, Sonia, and Chip and throws them into a Jetson-esque spaceship with him at the controls as George Jetson, with Vanilla, Cream, Cheese, and Toby as Jane, Judy, Astro, and Elroy Jetson respectively)*

Vector: **It’s a fine, fantabulous future**

*(Vector then appears as an apple tree, with Vanilla, Cream, Cheese, and Toby back to normal)*

Toby: **I see fruit on the family trees**

*(Vector appears as an old man)*

Vector: (Imitating an old man) **You’ll be great as grumpy grandparents**

*(Vector then appeared as three babies)*

Three Baby Vector: (In high-pitched voices) **Bouncing babies on your knees**

*(Then we see Vector, back in his normal form, lying on a couch and, with his family, Manic, Sonia, and Chip’s help, tossing a basketball to Sonic's group, Chuck, and Longclaw)*

Vector: **You can fall asleep on the comfy couch**

Cream: **After playin’ one-on-one**

*(Chuck, Longclaw, and Sonic’s group appear on a basketball court playing against Vector as Shaquille O'Neal, as well as his family, Manic, Sonia, and Chip)*

Vector: (Imitating Shaq) **Dreamin’ back-to-back**

**That you walloped the Shaq together**

*(Knuckles scores a basket, and the ball lands on Manic’s finger, who twirls it like he’s one of the Harlem Globetrotters. Then Vector and Chuck's groups, with Vector back in his normal form, are revealed to be standing on Chuck’s shoulders)*

Vector's group, Manic, Sonia, and Chip: **As parents and sons**

*(Then Sonic’s group, Chuck, and Longclaw are seen riding in bumper cars with Vector’s face on them, having a good time so far)*

Chuck and Longclaw: **May be a bumpy ride**

Sonic’s group: **We’ll make it side-by-side**

*(Suddenly, both cars stop, and a safety bar drapes over them. They are now with Manic, Sonia, and Chip, sitting in a rollercoaster car on top of a hill. Then Vector and his family appeared, with Vanilla as a stewardess next to a lever)*

Vanilla: (Imitating a stewardess) **Good afternoon, I’ll be your travel guide**

*(She and Vector both pull the lever, and Sonic’s group, Manic, Sonia, Chip, and even Vector's group are sent careening down the hill, then into Vector’s arms)*

Vector: **Move over, boys**

**Make room for Mommy and Daddy**

*(Then a mini Vector stood on Longclaw’s right shoulder)*

Vector: **You got a whole new shoulder to cry on**

*(Then he jumps down and spins a wheel with Sonic’s group’s faces on each wedge)*

Vector: **Take a chance, now give it a spin**

*(He makes paper dolls that look like the Badnik Thieves)*

Vector: **You’ve had “Chums” for pallin’ around with**

*(Then he reshapes the papers to look like Sonic’s group)*

Vector: **But you never had some friends like them**

Chip: Exactly.

*(A screen wipe using a red and white checkered cloth cuts to a table with Vector (Appearing as Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone from “The Godfather”) sitting there with a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, next to his family, Chip, Manic, and Sonia, dressed as mafia men and/or femme fatales)*

Vector: (Imitating Don Corleone) **Put your checkered past behind you now**

*(A light shines on Sonic’s group, Chuck, Longclaw, Manic, and Sonia)*

Vector: (Imitating Don Corleone) **No more livin’ all alone**

*(Chuck's group then appears with Sonic’s group in a Brady Bunch-styled panel with Vector's group filling up the rest of the squares, courtesy of Chip)*

Vector's group: (Imitating the Brady Family) **Face the big, bright, beautiful future**

**Together, together, together, together....**

*(Then Vector and Chuck's group, and Chip scrunch the middle row of squares together, and they all reappear on Vector’s group's open glass box with Chuck’s group giving Sonic’s group playful noogies, much to their delight)*

Vector's group and Chip: **As parents and sons**

Cheese: (Happily) Chao, chao!

*(The song over, they then return to the oasis-like spring, having had their fun happily, laughing a bit. Then at the village, Sonic and Vector’s groups, Chuck, Longclaw, Manic, Sonia, and Chip returned happily. Then they met up with the rest of the group, including a soft smiling Oberon, at the bonfire)*

Group: (Greeting each other) Hey!

Sally: Did you have a fun time?

Meowzie: Please tell us you had a good time.

Sonic’s group: (Smiling softly at Chuck’s group) We sure did.

Chuck’s group: (Smiling softly at Sonic’s group) And we loved every minute of it.

Manic: (Nods in agreement) That is true.

Sonia: (Agreeing) You should have seen us laughing together, along with our friends.

Vector: Thanks to me and my family helping out.

Vanilla, Cream, and Toby: Yep!

Cheese: (Happily agreeing) Chao, chao!

*(The group smiled softly, glad to hear that. Then Oberon went up to Doom, the Toon Patrol, Chuck, and Longclaw with a soft smile)*

Oberon: Guys, if you like, you can sleep in my house tonight.

*(Chuck, Longclaw, Doom, and the Toon Patrol got curious)*

Doom and Toon Patrol: Really?

Chuck and Longclaw: Are you sure?

Oberon: I am positive.

*(Doom, the Toon Patrol, Chuck, and Longclaw, after contemplating this, gave in with a nod along with everyone else)*

Group: Okay.

*(Then the group bidded their good nights to each other)*

Group: Good night.

*(Then with that, Doom, the Toon Patrol, Chuck, and Longclaw went with Oberon to his house. Once in Thumbelina and Cornelius’ house, the group, dressed in pajamas, got ready for bed as well)*

Darkwing: Something tells me that, for some reason, Oberon wanted to talk to Doom, the Toon Patrol, Chuck, and Longclaw about something, guys.

Sonic: (Agreeing) But, if that’s the case....

Tails: The question is why?

*(They shrugged it off)*

Knuckles: Who cares for now?

Group: (Agreeing) Yeah.

Cornelius: We’ll find out in the morning, when we ask Father for permission to borrow the map to Aztlán.

Thumbelina: That’s right.

Group: Okay. Good night.

Thumbelina and Cornelius: Good night.

*(Then with that, they went to bed while outside in the village, the bonfire’s flames were put out, the lights were turned off, and even Bruni, Granite, Gale, Iridsella, Latios, and the goddesses went to sleep as well)*

***Coming up: After meeting up with Merlock’s group in an empty cavern secretly along with Fat Tony’s gang still at night, Eggman, Infinite, the Badnik Thieves, as well as Merlock’s group, begins pointing out to Fat Tony’s gang that they’ve gone soft on the heroes from what Negaduck, Hunch, and the three NightMares saw earlier, Fat Tony’s gang then claims they have not gotten soft and then Eggman, Infinite, and Merlock’s group proceed to encourage Fat Tony’s gang and the Badnik Thieves to proceed in making a plan to get their hands on the Golden Hand of Midas. Then the next morning, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles will then, much to the heroes’ concern, get into a fallout with Chuck and Longclaw involving the map of Aztlán, resulting Chuck and Longclaw to leave them alone in shame, which will then lead to the villains to kidnap the both of them.***
