Christmas Day at the Wachowski Residence, 2024.

Kids were screaming and playing with each other, running through the large house shooting nerf bullets at each other. Tom had invited over his family, who had a LOT of kids. Parents sat in the living room, talking not so nicely about Knuckles and Shadow specifically, the older teen girls were brushing Tails' tails with their hairbrushes, the little yellow fox seemed to enjoy it. Sonic was playing in the snow with some of the younger boys. Where was Knuckles? He was in his room, dancing around while Christmas music played on his radio. He had a Christmas present bow taped to his head and other pieces of tape on his fur. He was so happy and smiling and adorable. He was holding a candy cane in one hand and a wooden spoon with white cookie frosting on said spoon. He even had some white frosting on his nose. Tom was helping Sonic win a Snowball fight outside and Maddie was in the kitchen with her sister Rachel and Amy Rose cooking Christmas dinner. Shadow was playing poker with the uncles and grandads and such.
