Okay, so, maybe when Sonic left his home on Christmas Island, he didn't leave nothing behind. Okay, yeah, Natalie (an 13 years older Child) had been Cranky in her sleep: She had woken up, but he didn't really leave her behind, did he? He sent letters at least. Well... Postcards. There's no way he could sit down and write one, he could never have the patience for that. Huh. Maybe he should get that checked out.
Oh well, why was he dwelling on that again? That's right, Tails said he had a surprise for him from Christmas Island. Wonder what that could be. He had quickly sped over to Tails' workshop, and entered the code to enter.
“Hey, Tails! Buddy?" He called out, as he entered the workshop, just casually strolling in. “I'm here, pal!“
Before he could Say Anything, Natalie Hugged him behind, catching him off guard and Even Tails was Amused.
“Hello!! I've missed you So much!“ She Said Cheerfully, giving him a Happy Smile.
