      Sonic at that time believed that Mephiles was not really lying and really wanted to return home in peace. Wakowski, Tails, Knuckles, Tikal, as well as their Sonic and two other Sonics, along with Amy and Sally, returned back to their house. The real Sonic goes to the kitchen table, removes the plates and cutlery, and then puts photos of those aliens from other worlds on it. And also three slightly broken devices for correcting Chaos, Infinite and Mephiles. Some photos, such as those of Shadow, Princess Alice, Eggman, Metal Sonic, Omega and Silver, were marked with a black marker to confirm that they had been corrected. The photo of Mephiles was also marked with a tick at first, but then it was completely crossed out with the same marker. — So, there you go! Chaos, Infinite and... Well, I think I can repair Chaos and Infinite, but... As for the others, I don’t know. — I’ll take care of Zavok. — said the hedgehog with peach hands, taking a photo with a bull. — I’ve already encountered him once before... Well, or rather not with him himself, but with a version of him from my and Amy’s world. — But, he died. — Amy added. — We fought against him near the volcano and, due to his stupidity, he fell there. — Okay, take Zavok on yourself! — Sonic says with his eyes split. — Then Sally and I will try to restore the device for Mephilis. — said the little hedgehog, picking up a broken device that looked like a glass, which Eggman and Tails had previously tried to hand to Mephiles. — For one thing, maybe we’ll find something for Iblis! — Sally added and took, past the photograph of Princess Alice, two more photographs with Scourge and Fiona. — And for one thing, let’s take those two upon ourselves, because we have already encountered them. Sonic with two separate eyes looked at his younger version, and he answered smiling: — If we’re going to save everyone, then save everyone! Right? Not though, but a little doubtfully, he also smiles back at him and answers: — Yes. — We are not given anything else! — added Sally. — I know. And each hedgehog, having chosen his goal and his action, went to different tables and got to work. Sonic with separate eyes, in an embrace with Tails and Knuckles, worked on the kitchen table, the other Sonic and Amy were doing the same at the table in the corridor in front of the TV. Tom and Maddie helped them with this. And Junior Sonic, along with Sally and Tikal, were in the attic. — As I see, you really love your Sonic? — the hedgehog with peach hands asked the sheriff. The latter turned his gaze for a couple of seconds at his hedgehog in the kitchen, who was being helped by a fox and an echidna. — Yes. He is almost like a son to us. He seems to look like an adult, but at heart he is still small, like a child. But what can you do, he’s incorrigible and will probably never improve. — Why? — Sonic with peach hands was surprised. — I also remember once acting like a child, despite the fact that I was already an adult. I, too, sometimes often acted before thinking. However, in both worlds, not counting yours, where I and my friends managed to visit, I experienced a lot of severe cruelty and injustice. All this made me think about life and about the wrong way I was leading at that time. — And then what? — Maddie asked. — I overcame myself... In a figurative sense... I began to take everything more seriously... Well... — that Sonic turned his gaze to the hedgehog. - Looking at Amy and how she, too, has recently changed along with me, for the first time in my life I understood what love is... But most importantly... Responsibility... For those you love... And protect... Your Sonic, over time, living in harsh realities, will also sooner or later understand this. Just be sure! — Is it true? - Tom didn’t believe it. — Calm down already, believe me! — Amy waved her hand. — I used to be a real capricious person and chased my Sonic too often, until finally one day... I came to my senses about what I was doing and stopped trying to be so attached to him... I then resigned myself to trying to make Sonic my boyfriend and already thought that we would just remain friends... But then... I was in the wildest shock when I found out that he, too, had finally fallen in love with me... Of his own free will. — she-hedgehog leaned into Maddie’s ear and whispered to her: — If you suddenly have a pink she-hedgehog in your family that looks like me... Don’t be too rude to her. Okay? — Okay, we promise. — Maddie answered smiling and swore with her little finger. Amy also showed her little finger in response. — Oh, tell me, Sonic! — Tom had just turned to the hedgehog with peach hands when Sonic heard him from the kitchen and turned around and asked: — Yes? — I’m not talking to you, but to him! — the sheriff explained. — A! Sorry! — Tell me! And in your world... Um... Do you have your own... Human friend? — Tom asked and Sonic at that moment bulged his eyes, freezing like a statue. He did not expect to hear such a question addressed to him, and memories seemed to flood before his eyes. The hedgehog lowered his head and answered briefly: — Was. — A! Was once. Okay, where did he go? — asked Tom. The blue hedgehog with peach hands sighed through his nose, as if he didn’t want to remember it and explained: — He and I first met when I and my friends ended up in another world. There was Earth there too, but not yours. I accidentally attracted the attention of the military and ran away from them. While trying to escape, I accidentally fell into the pool. I couldn’t swim, I swallowed water and almost died trying to reach the stairs. However, I was running in place and couldn’t move a single step. And then he appeared... And saved me... — at one point Sonic smiled, remembering the funny moment. — He then mistakenly thought that I was not a hedgehog, but a kitten. — Tom and Maddie laughed quietly at what they heard, covering their mouths with their palms. — What happened next? — Maddie asked and Sonic continued: — He hoped that we would always live together. He considered me his best friend, and I considered him mine. I didn’t even want to leave and leave him alone, because he was almost alone at home, and his parents hardly took care of him. I wanted to stay with him and always be his friend, but... — But what? — Tom didn’t understand. — Our worlds were under threat. The trouble was that our worlds were once one, but many millions of years ago they were divided into two. And because all my friends and I were in his universe, or he himself was in our world, our worlds can once again unite into one. At the same time, time could stop for all of us... And both of our worlds could perish... Therefore, we could not always be together. We had to part with him and go to our own worlds. From then on I never saw him again. — Oh... This is so sad... — Maddy felt sorry for the hedgehog. — Yes... That's why I eventually had to return to my home world along with the others... — Well, actually, everything was a little wrong. — Amy intervened. — Our human friend in his world managed to grow up in six years and become a scientist. Then he missed us and decided to get into our world himself. The trouble is that times move differently in our worlds. It took him six years there, and we only had six months. And when he came into our world, he again turned out to be a boy, as he was when we first met him. We were still glad to see him. True, then we still had to say goodbye to him and he had to leave our world again, since this could also cause the end of the world for both worlds... Oh yes. And then we also had a war with the cosmic world eaters metarexes in space. — Meta... By whom? — Tom didn’t understand. — Me-Ta-Re-X. — Amy pronounced it syllable by syllable. — What kind of dinosaurs are these? — Maddie asked. — These are not dinosaurs, but space monsters in the bodies of huge robots that cannot be broken and destroyed. No one even knows who created them and for what purpose. Although they say that they once belonged to the Sidrian race. — Sonic explained. — Humanoid-like plants. One of them was with us then and on our side. *sighs heavily* And then she sacrificed herself to destroy them all. Have you not encountered similar alien races in your world? — No. — Sir Donut shook his head. — All this is certainly interesting! But there’s only one thing I didn’t understand. If your friend is in another... Another world, and you got there by accident, which was dangerous, then doesn’t this mean that our world can be under the same threat, since you are all here? — Everything is possible. —Amy replies, handing Sonic a screwdriver. — Therefore, when we help you and finish, you will then definitely return us all back to our home worlds. Sonic with peach hands was again attracted by the question regarding their Sonic, who was in the kitchen. — Please tell me, has your Sonic, um... How long has he been living with you?... I mean, do you know how long he has been living in your world, like his Tails and Knuckles? — Good question. — Maddie scratched her chin. — Well, Tails and Knuckles appeared in our world only recently. And according to Sonic... Our Sonic! He lives on our planet a long time ago. He was still the youngest then... About the same as that one. — So, he’s been living with you for many years? — the hedgehog with peach hands bulged his eyes. — How has time not stopped in your universe yet? — He came to us from another planet, and not from another universe. — Tom explained a little indignantly. — Yes?... So this is your common universe and you can easily get along together? — Rose was shocked. — It’s a pity that it won’t work out that way with my friend, since we are from different worlds. — Sonic lowered his head in disappointment. — I would like to see him again with my own eyes someday... At least for the last time. — Well, what was his name at least? Do you remember roughly his name? — Tom asked, and Sonic looked at the sheriff in surprise and answered: — Thorendyke... Chris Thorendyke. Young scientist and inventor. Tom and Maddie thought about it after hearing the first and last name. This first and last name reminded them of someone. True, he seemed to be neither a scientist nor an inventor, but rather... A judge?... Or a lawyer? — A! Well, that means it's not him. — Sonic lowered his head again with peach hands. — Sorry, but it hurts me to remember him now. — Please leave us alone! — Amy asked, standing up and lightly pushing the Wakovskys by their butts with her hands. They did not argue with her and decided to go to the kitchen. Her Sonic, Tails and Knuckles had already finished repairing the device for Infinite by that time, and then they started working on the device for Chaos. — Well, how are you? — Tom asked, and that Sonic with divided eyes is uncertain, but answers: — I... It seems to be normal, and you?... — The Wakovskys were silent, sad about something. — Sorry, I’m very sorry that I dragged you into this... A long time ago... Well, why do I always ruin someone’s life when I come into contact with someone and try to do something good. However, the Wakowskis reassured him. — Little stupid, we're together. We will always be only with you and will not go anywhere. — Maddie said. — And it doesn’t matter whether we move somewhere further away from here when it’s all over or, on the contrary, we stay here. We will stay together and overcome everything. Not only fire and water, but also death. And I give you my word that after everything is over, we will never part with you. We will always be only together, no matter what happens. Even if our universe dies or its time stops. — Tom added. — Thank you. — the hedgehog answered with difficulty holding back tears and hugged his human parents. Of course, the other Sonic with peach hands and Amy sitting next to him accidentally overheard their conversation, watching them and they believed that at least they would stay together forever. At that moment, another little Sonic came down from the attic to go to the toilet, but before that he was also distracted for a couple of seconds by Wakowski and their Sonic, who were hugging. Sonic from the X-universe looked at the little double and asked him out of curiosity: — Do you have a human friend in your world? — A? — he asked, turning to him and he himself understood the meaning of the question. — No. There is no time to be an ordinary Sonic, who would just walk around and enjoy life, looking for adventures on his own. So... In my world I am more serious about everything and I have almost no time even for jokes. And you? — You know... It's a difficult question. — that hedgehog answered him, smiling. — He is also more serious, but only sometimes. Otherwise, he can joke too. — Amy explained. — Apparently, life is like ours, perhaps not fate? — little Sonic slightly teased his older copy, to which he grinned in response: — Well, yes. Probably... Well, at least there is hope. In the end, everything worked out for us. — Really? — Yes. Well... I'll be honest... Sometimes, even being serious isn't so bad. After all, you can’t waste time all the time on just hee-hee, and ha-ha. If only you knew what a fool I used to be, that even before I thought, I always only acted, and only then thought. But it’s not for nothing that they say that you can learn from your mistakes and draw lessons from them for life, so as not to repeat these mistakes again. — That's for sure! — Little Sonic did not argue with his older self and went further to the toilet, locking himself there. — O! This roll of paper is quite soft, unfortunately they don’t make such things in our universe. Hmm... Maybe we should consult with Sally so that we can stay in this universe? — I HEAR EVERYTHING, SONIC!!! — Tikal shouted from the attic. — What did I say? — Sonic from the X-universe did not understand. — What? — Without understanding anything, Sonic turned around in the kitchen. — NOT YOU, BUT THE ONE WHO IS IN THE TOILET!!! — Tikal shouted back to them. — A! — those two Sonics said at the same time and returned to their business. Tom and Maddie went into the corridor and thought for a while in silence, in silence, an idea came to their minds. Even though it's stupid, it's still an idea. Tom came out of the corridor and said: — Sonic! — Yes? — Sonic turned from the kitchen. — Yes? — Sonic raised his head with peach hands. — Yes? — asked Sonic, who came out of the toilet. — This! — Tom pointed his finger towards the kitchen, where Sonic from their world was. That Sonic stood up and walked over to him, and the rest of the Sonic went back to their business. — What's the matter? — he asked them. — Maddie and I consulted and it seems we have figured out how to lure all these aliens to us. If we cannot track them down and find them, let them find us themselves and come to us. But for this we also need only you and... In short, that very Tikal thing. — Well, I don’t even know... What if it doesn’t work out? What if they realize it’s a trap and don’t come? What if they decide that it’s fake, like a montage or a special effect, like in poops. Well, that is, in these. Y. T. P. — Believe me, we will succeed. The main thing is that we need one more person for this matter. I hope he is still awake and agrees to help us with this. — Tom explained, taking out his mobile phone and dialing Wade's number. — Hi Wade. This is Tom... Do you still have a spare channel on YouTube that you have never used?... Here you need to post one video on YouTube... It is advisable that this be done there, so that if the author is recognized, then only from where they won’t find him... Oh, are you in the forest?... In that case, can you post it?... Thank you, I’ll send you the video file, while you get ready. — What do videos, channels and YouTube have to do with it? — Knuckles didn’t understand. — Doesn't matter! Just trust me! — Tom asked and turned on the video camera on his mobile phone. — Everyone except So... Our Sonic, move out of frame!
