Plot
Amy and the others plan to go to the Emerald Coast. Chris is upset because he wanted to accompany the group, but he has to replace his mother at the opening of the new hotel at the Emerald Coast. Chuck tells Chris that the opening won't be long and he can return to the group. Sonic then says that he's not going to the Emerald Coast and runs off. Chris wonders why Sonic refused to go and Amy explains that Sonic hates water, which causes Chris to remember the moment in which he rescued Sonic from the pool. Amy says it won't be fun without Sonic.

Amy, Tails, Cream and Cheese take off to the Emerald Coast in the X- Tornado, while Chris, Ella and Mr. Tanaka go to the opening in a car. Meanwhile, Sonic is lying on the grass and picks up a flower while looking at the sky, and wondering who needs the ocean. At the Emerald Coast, Amy, Tails, Cream and Cheese have fun at the Thorndyke's beach house. During the opening, Chris feels a little embarrassed. Amy walks on the beach and begins to daydream about Sonic until a coconut falls off and hits her head, causing her to throw it to the ocean. Amy sees a couple talking and is surprised to see that a girl gave her boyfriend a charm bracelet which can help in diving. Amy then creates the same bracelet for Sonic.

However, Dr. Eggman and his robots destroy the hotel and create his amusement park. Dr. Eggman then holds Chris, Ella and Mr. Tanaka captive. Meanwhile, Sonic comes back home when he's confronted by Chuck. On TV, there's an announcement about Dr. Eggman creating his amusement park from the hotel. Bokkun arrives with a bomb and flies away when it explodes. Sonic runs off to the Emerald Coast to stop Dr. Eggman.

At the Emerald Coast, Tails takes off in the X-Tornado to save Chris, but Amy joins him, hoping that Sonic will come. Sonic arrives and Dr. Eggman's robot attacks him. The robot then throws Sonic to the water and tries to drown him. Amy sees that Sonic is in danger and jumps out of the plane to save him. Amy uses her hammer to hit the robot and save Sonic. Sonic uses his Power Ring to destroy the robot. Dr. Eggman flies away. Amy gives Sonic the bracelet. While giving it to him, Sonic then realizes how much Amy cares for him. Just as he's about to get it, a mysterious shake causes the bracelet to fly away and then Dr. Eggman's recreated robot destroys it. Sonic tries to run away from the robot. Amy starts to cry because Dr. Eggman destroyed the bracelet.

She becomes angry and attacks the robot, destroying it. Amy then jumps to Dr. Eggman's flying pot and then a big splash appears. Sonic sees that Amy is in danger and he has no choice, but to jump to the water. Tails and Chris are shocked to see Sonic diving. Amy is unconscious and Sonic gets close to save her. Amy then daydreams about Sonic until she gets woken up by Cream. Cream tells Amy that Tails and Chris brought her when they rescued her. Amy looks at her hand and sees that the bracelet is missing. Amy begins to cry and then says that Sonic has luck. At the beach, Sonic sneezes because he went underwater. When he gets up, the bracelet is seen on his wrist.
