It had been… how long? Chip couldn’t exactly remember but what he did remember was the familiar sound of the ocean and that oh so addictive taste of that ice cream from Apotos. How he missed this, and how lucky he was to not only talk Dark Gaia down, but also convince him to release him back up to the world. “Ahh… this is the life. If only Sonic were here…” Chip mumbled to himself, feeling some longing for his best friend turned crush. The imp-chihuahua rubbing his neck fur where his necklace once was. “Sonic… if you can hear me, I’m back. Please, I want to see you.” He calls out telepathically, hoping to reach his friend via his mind.
