Chapter Text
A pink fox sits silently under a tree, the grass sways gently under them. A small wicker basket lies in his lap. Slowly opening the basket the fox reaches in to grab his snack. The many green orbs shine in the sun like small emeralds, all of them attached to each other by thin brown stems. Grapes. Delicious, Watery, Juicy grapes. What more could you ask for after a stressful morning? The fox's gloved hand plucked one from the bunch and held it up, admiring the pale shiny green fruit. He then goes to pop it into his mouth, tossing it gently, but a big bang makes the ground shake. The foxes body gets tossed up along with his grapes, his body now hitting the floor with a thud. The pitter patter of his snack followed soon after. A voice echoes from above him.
“Rouge! Don't you dare touch the master emerald! How many times do I have to say no!” the voice yells out. On the other side of the field a giant emerald had hit the ground, and it seemed a white bat was struggling to drag it out of the crater it made.
“Come on Knux! I just need it for one day!” the bat yells back in response. She continues to try and drag the large gem. A red blur soon dives down from the sky landing with a boom, the ground shakes and the fox gets launched again. A red echidna now tugs the emerald in contrast to the bat, tugging it back and forth.
“No-one must touch the emerald, I forbid it!” The echidna growls back, tugging the gem harder, moving it closer to him.
“Fine! I’ll find some other big gem for my gift!”
“Fine!”
“FINE! The bat huffs before flying away into the tree line. The echidna sighs angrily, annoyed that the bat had bothered him once again. He mumbled to himself till something rolled into his foot. A small green orb, a grape. The echidna's eyes scanned the other side of the field, his eyes landing on the pink fox. Picking up the grape ruffly, Knuckles makes his way over to the fox. The pink fox flinches, his back now pressed to the trunk of the tree. His basket tipped over from the ground shaking earlier. The red echidna picks up the basket gently placing it back up right.
“ My apologies, pink fox for disturbing your picnic.” The echidna pauses for a second.
“ Grapes? I thought only the human realm had these…?”
“ Yeah, but I found out how to grow them here… w-would you like to try some?”
