Today's the day where I finally move. It almost feels unreal. I never thought I'd be leaving everything behind but I've been planning this for a while. After everything that happened on the starfall islands I needed to do this. I realized how often I rely on Sonic to save me from trouble and I want to change that. I've already said all of my good-byes to my friends, nothing is holding me back except for myself.

After putting the last of my belongings In the back of my car. I take one final look at what I used to call my home . I started to think about all the memories I made there. All the celebrations we had after defeating Eggman and all the nights I came back exhausted from running the resistance. Everything I sacrificed to keep me and everyone else safe. It feels like I'm throwing all that away. After feeling melancholic for a split second I snap back to reality, I can't keep daydreaming. I get into my car and I drive off without looking back.

As I drive, the cold air brushes through my quills and it gives me the feeling of freedom. I take a deep breath and I take in the scenery. It's a beautiful, quaint town called Sunset Heights. It used to be under the control of Eggman during the war but after his defeat, It was free at last. Even though It's been years since the war, the town still isn't fully restored. There are still buildings being rebuilt and a lot of the lush greenery that used to be here hasn't regrown.

As I lose myself in thought, I notice a giant Eggman base that looks abandoned. I'm surprised that the city hasn't torn down that eyesore of a base yet.

I finally arrived at my new home. It's a small blue house with a white roof, Near it are other houses that look similar although not many of them are populated. As I move in my belongings I can't stop thinking about that abandoned Eggman base. Why is it still here? And why do I get a bad feeling from it?

I shake my head and try to forget about it for now. I'll deal with it after I'm finished with moving in.

After bringing the last of my boxes in, I get started on cleaning the house and unpacking all my stuff. Maybe I should've asked Cream or somebody to come with me to help but I didn't think of that before leaving. I sigh and go back to cleaning. Finally after hours of cleaning and unpacking boxes I'm almost done.

Exhausted, I look out of the window realizing it's already dark. I said screw it and went upstairs, I opened the door to my bedroom so I could get some well deserved sleep. I put on some pajamas and slip into my bed, ready to fall asleep and put everything behind me.

As I try to sleep I keep thinking about one thing: the Eggman base. It's running through my mind and it won't stop. I have to check it out tomorrow before I go insane
