Shadow took a sip of a small cup of tea while he sat in a small café looking out at the sea, sighing happily he set the cup down and pulled out some brochures, ready to start planning what they would do over the following days of their vacation. "A tour of the old castle would be nice, maybe do that in two days, we'll need to get settled in for tomorrow so we can just relax, an orca show...well I guess we can free them as a bit of an adventure since they appear to be in a nearby zone, although Pinkie will probably already do that considering she's there now. I'll talk with Rouge about it later after the festival tonight."

"Hey Shadow." He turned to see Sally walking up to him, wearing a pair of light blue skinny jeans and a yellow tank top.

He smiled and got up to greet her. "Hello Sally, enjoying yoir sight seeing?"

She nodded and pulled out her phone. "It's very calming, I was able to get a few good photos of the town. For some reason there are spring pads by the cloctowers so I was able to get a good view."

"There were some rings over by the river earlier, and now the springs...I'm starting to think this town is actually a zone in disguise." Shadow chuckled.

"If it is it's either the easiest or the hardest zone we've come across."

"Why would it be hard?"

"No goal ring."

"Ah..." Shadow nodded and sat back down in his seat. "Care to join me?" He asked politely.

Sally smiled warmly and sat down in the chair opposite the hedgehog.

Futher down the street, Omega was watching the two interact while broadcasting it to Pinkie. "This ship has sailed, and it is making no stops." He spoke into a small microphone.

"Keep watching them Nanny, I want to witness ALL OF IT!!!" Pinkie yelled from her communicator, with barely noticeable sounds of robots beings smashed in the background.

"You really want this to happen don't you?" Omega asked while zooming in to get a better look.

"Even with our family and all our friends, daddy is still lonely. He really misses Maria. This will do him good, maybe even make him happier than he already is." Pinkie replied with a softer and more caring voice.

"He's only this kind because of you y'know? He'd still be the emo kid of the group if you hadn't come along."

"I know. That's what everyone tells me. I make others happy all the time, but there's a certain type of happiness that I can't give daddy. I can't give him love."

"Well you-"

"I know I can love him like family love or friendly love. But I can't, and won't, love him like a lover. We don't want incest in this story."

"...what?"

"Oh, I gotta go, talk to you when I get back to the town, and KEEP RECORDING!!!"

Back in Wave Ocean zone

Pinkie took off her communicator abd placed it in her mane before turning to the four robots that had defected to her side. "Alright new robo-friends, let's keep going!" She turned around and dashed over a wooden platform before hoping on a spring that sent her flying towards the side of a large lighthouse. She landed on its side and jumped to a small hill begore bouncing off of that and up to the top of the lighthouse where a grind rail was placed.

She slid down the grind rail and jumped off midway and performed a series of homing attacks on a line of flying robots that led her to another wooden platform. Her robots flew down to her side and watched as she leapt onto the shore of a small island where she slid under a large black pole covered in spikes.

She then came to an area by a cliffside which was filled with what appeared to be scorpion-like robots that launched small orange bombs from their tails. She pulled out her party canon and destroyed a small group of them before her robots locked on and filled the remaining robots with bullets.

"Boy, you guys are brutal when you aren't fighting me."

She abd the robots were able to pass through without any trouble. She hopped onto a series of springs that punched her from pole to pole across a gap in the islands until she ravaged the base of a small mountain. She ran up this mountain until she reached a dash panel at the top which sent her down the other side towards the water. She increased the power on her boots for awhile to glide over the water.

Suddenly a large killer whale started chasing her. "Uh oh, sorry mister whale, but I'm not on the menu." She jumped off the water and onto a long wooden platform in the middle of the ocean which she began to dash across. Suddenly another whale jumped out of the water and began destroying the platforms behind her. "Ok, now I know why this place reminds me of the zone near Station Square...wait a minute..." She came to a screeching halt on the last platform and the whale jumped over it, missing her. She looked around the zone and saw a set of crates spawning in and falling into the ocean, only to spawn again and repeat over and over, most likely from a platform that she was yet to reach. "IS THIS JUST SOME BUGGY REHASH?!?!"

She growled and shook her head.

"You know what?! I ain't doing this! Chaos Control!" Pinkie gripped the green chaos emerald which she had managed to find after beating Black Doom and used its power to teleport to the gate holding the whales in the closed off area and flipped the switch that opened said gate. "Go on Willy! Get out of here! Chaos Control!" She then teleported over to the goal ring and tapped it with her hoof, ending the stage. "There! It's done!" The robots caught up with her and they all began heading towards the Egg Carrier which had landed nearby on the last island. "Hopefully nothing breaks on our way there..."

Author's Notes:

Those robots are sticking around. And yes, I'm having Pinkie be aware of the glitches, but it won't be an all the time joke, just have it appear here and there every now and again to make fun of the game.
