      The sun rose and alarm clocks rang. Absolutely all the residents of Mobiustown woke up and were in shock. What's happened? Where have all the decorations, gifts, and Christmas trees gone? Where's the New Year's food? Where's the tinsel? Where are the drinks? Where are absolutely all the things related to the holiday? Only Vanilla and Ice, when they saw their house, were not at all surprised, because they seemed to have become even poorer. Cream knew that Scourge took it all, but for now she was silent and calm. She was sure that he would come to his senses about her words, which she told him last night, and would immediately return everything that he had taken. All the residents went outside and saw that even on the street there were no decorations. There is not even a new large Christmas tree, which they installed yesterday next to the city hall in place of the burnt Christmas tree. They didn't understand what happened? Trainee Tails quickly got into the police car and went to the calls. At the same time, he dragged Eggman’s bed, who had not yet woken up, on a chain behind him. His bed made a hole in the wall with a window and followed the car. Eggman himself screamed heart-rendingly, lying on the bed and did not understand where he was going. When Tails arrived downtown, he stopped and the bed crashed into his bumper, moving the intern's car even further. Eggman was thrown up during the collision and fell on his stomach into a mound of snow and got stuck there, starting to kick his legs. Tangle and Shade ran up to the man and helped him free himself. Eggman looked around and was very indignant. — Well, Scourge! In any case, he arranged all this, I am one hundred percent sure of this. I was Mayor Knuckles' assistant, whom he hated and did this on purpose to mock me. So he stole everything from us. Knuckles told all of you: If you invite Scourge, then the New Year will be a bad! — after these words, he walked up to his bed, began hitting the bed, and shouting syllables with each blow: — If... You... in... Vi... Te... Scour... Ge... Then... The... New... Year... Will... Be a... Bad!... — after these screams, he calmed down and asked everyone: — Did you listen to our mayor? Did you listen to him?... NO!!! — after this scream, all the peoples trembled, and Eggman pointed his hand at Cream. — You all listened to her, an unintelligent, stupid and naive child whose ears are not yet mature. Half of the people, who were on the side of the rabbits and Scourge, stood next to the rabbits and looked menacingly at the other half of the people, who stood behind Eggman. — Our daughter is not stupid or naive. — says Vanilla. — She is kind and honest, not like all of you, selfish people who think only about themselves and teach their children to be selfish too. Half of the people, who were on Eggman's side, were indignant and gasped at what they heard. Whisper even covered her son's ears. Benny and Tiny in their arms look questioningly, first at their parents, then at the rabbits with the opposite half of the people. Only Sammy and Nellie looked sternly at Eggman and wanted to declare that they were not so selfish at all. — Nobody asked your opinion! — Eggman was rude to the adult rabbit, and then turned to the little one: — Cream, you must be very proud of what you have done? It's because of you that Scourge stole everything from us. You ruined the holiday for all of us. — We are definitely proud. — Sonic came out, standing in front of the rabbits as a wall. — We are glad that we have no gifts. We don't care whether we have gifts and decorations or not. — Shadow also stated, also coming to the defense of the rabbits. — You don't count! You are traitors! The other half that still trusts Scourge and that bunny. Does anyone from our half of the people who trust me also agree with you? — Eggman asks and puts his hands out to the sides, knowing in advance that none of them will support these traitors. However, Benny and Tiny looked at Sammy and thought that perhaps they had quarreled with their brother and sister in vain, and their city had been divided in vain. Benny, holding Tiny in his arms, leaves the crowd of his people, going over to the side of another people. — Benny, Tiny! Where are you going? Come back! — their mother tells them, but they do not listen to them and take the side of the opposite half of the people. — We are proud that we no longer have gifts. — Tiny answers. Benny also added: — We do not care! — Doesn't matter? — Eggman asks indignantly. Then Sammy, Nellie, Charmy and Tails, as well as the rest of the children, leave their half of the people and go to the other half, also standing up for the protection of this half of the people. Even Whisper's son wanted to come out to them, but Whisper grabbed him by the shoulders and did not allow him to go to them. — Where are you going? — NOW LET ME GO SOON!!! OR I WILL BITE YOUR HAND!!! — he shouted to his mother. She widened her eyes. She was shocked. — “How do you talk to mom like that?” — Sister, let him go! — Tangle asked and the she-wolf released her son. Strangely enough, the lemur also went with her nephew and stood up for the rabbits. — What are you doing? — the plump mustache asks her. — Isn't it visible? I'm also glad that Scourge took everything from us. — So, you are also a traitor? — Eggman was indignant and left his half of the people, looking sternly at Tangle. — Are you glad that everything was taken from us? Are you glad that our holiday was taken away from us and ruined? — You can't steal the New Year! Moreover, you can’t spoil it. — Tangle answers, patting the wolf cub on the head. — That's it! — Ice added. — Moreover, the essence of the holiday is not at all in food, not in gifts and not in decorations, and especially not in Christmas trees. This is exactly what Krim is trying to explain to us all. — And Scourge is probably trying to explain all this to us. That's why he stole all this from us, so that we would realize it ourselves. — Sonic finished. — And I don’t need anything for the New Year! — Sammy answers, putting his arm around Nelly's and Benny's shoulders. Tiny cuddles up to Benny at this time. — No gifts or decorations! Except for my family and friends! Half of the people, who were protected, smiled and folded their arms over their chests. The other half of the people began to look at each other and also wondered if they were doing the right thing. And also thought about the words of their children and the words of Tangle. Whisper was the first to also leave her half and joined Tangle, hugging her. Following her, the remaining half have already forgotten all their conflicts and disagreements, joining the other half. Only one Eggman remained with his opinion, and the common people of Mobiustown united together again. They all made peace, the parents asked their children for forgiveness and everyone just started congratulating each other on the holiday. — TRAITORS!!! — Eggman shouted at them all, showing his fist. — We are not traitors! We made the right choice. And you will never be the new mayor. From now on, we all firmly decided that we would live our own way. Our city doesn't need any mayor! Each of us will decide for himself how to live, and from now on we will all live only for the sake of friends, family and loved ones, and not for ourselves or money. — Shadow answers. — Now we are beginning to realize what it’s like to live poor and without money, but surrounded by family. Because now we realize what life was like for Cream and her parents. And yet they did not complain and lived well. Which means we won’t complain either. Amy explained. — And if you don’t agree with all of us, then kill yourself! Leave our city and never come back. — Vanilla said sternly to the fat man with a mustache like a walrus. There was no point in arguing. If he now has to live in a city that has adopted new rules and laws itself, then he will have to reconcile himself and live as the people of Mobiustown decided. All the residents of Mobiustown stood in a circle in the center of the city in the place where the Christmas tree used to be. They all got up and started singing New Year's songs in chorus. Cream herself was glad that everything was resolved so naturally, thanks to the intervention of Scourge himself. Looking at the mountain itself, she decided to run there and warn Scourge himself about the benefit he brought to the city. — Mom, dad, you can sing here with the others, and I’ll quickly go to Scourge and tell him about the miracle that happened here. — Cream answers. — Well, of course. — mom agreed, and father added: — Run! The rabbit at first quickly ran to the mountain, but on the way she found a large pipe next to a large pile of snow. She remembered that the day before yesterday Scourge also quickly took her from home to the city and to that same snowy hill. At the same time, she went down the pipe, like down a roller coaster in an amusement park. She decided to quickly return home to Scourge along the same path. She just climbed into the pipe and it sucked her in like a vacuum cleaner. The rabbit laughed merrily as she was pulled to the top. Once inside the naga cave house, Cream looked around and saw Father Frost tied up in a fishing net in front of her. — Father Frost? — Cream?
