Silver stands on the sidewalk outside his house with a list wedged in a clipboard and a pencil

He's wearing a white sweater and black cargo pants

[Tails]
Hey Silver, glad to see you again

[Silver]
Hey Tails, same to you

[Tails]
How's it been so far?

[Silver]
You know how it usually is, pretty tame, a lot of people had other plans today, for instance Gadget, he's helping down at the soup kitchen, so not a lot of buzz around here

[Tails]
Yeah, we're tight knit here, but the best people are out there

[Silver]
For sure, no matter, I'm sure there'll be leftovers, so everybody gets a little, regardless if they're here today, or out supporting a cause

[Tails]
Yeah, that's good, I'm gonna head inside, let me know if you need some company

[Silver]
Thanks buddy, I will

The door opens for a moment and the sounds of calm piano peer through the doorway

It ends as the door clicks shut

Silver sighs as he checks off a box on his clipboard

[Silver]
Everybody's here, except for, Blaze....

He taps his finger on the back of the clipboard

[Silver]
Well, it's okay, I'll see her tomorrow

Silver starts to walk towards his house

As he reaches for the door handle he hears fast footsteps behind him

He turns back seeing a familiar purple cat running along the sidewalk

[Silver]
Blaze?

[Blaze]
HEY SILVER

She stops running at the turn of the sidewalk taking breaths as she walks towards the house

[Blaze]
Hey Silver, sorry I'm late

[Silver]
I'm glad you came at all, I didn't think you'd be here

[Blaze]
I figured I'd just try it this once, see if I like it better than spending Thanksgiving alone

[Silver]
Well I'm happy you decided to try it, you ready?

[Blaze]
Yeah, let's go

Silver opens the door stepping inside

The atmosphere completely changes

The lights are turned on and the back sliding door is opened

Silver leads Blaze through the kitchen and into the backyard

The table is lit up with candles sitting in small trays from end to end

Silver hears Blaze utter a quiet

"Wow"

Silver sits down at a free seat
