In Mobotropolis, Julayala and Rosie are loading Sally's clothing on the plane for a trip King Acorn and Sally, who's five, are taking. Once the King and Sally are airborne, the King tells Sally that they are going to place that only kings know about. He informs us that the real reason for the trip is to find out what happened to the plane that carried Queen Alicia and Prince Elias about five years ago. Their vacation is going to take place on the Floating Island.

When the plane lands, Knuckles is watching in the bushes. Sally gets out and is extremely excited. King Acorn says that he has to pay his respects to the Guardian and that he'll be right back.

Sally hears something in the bushes and does a back flip (and grabs a stick) to the bushes. When Knuckles comes out the bushes, Sally drops the stick and the two introduce themselves. They become fast friends and walk around the island. When they're near the edge, they start to argue about who will have more difficult duties when they get older. A fight breaks out when Sally pushes Knuckles and she knocks him off the island with her "flip back kick." Knuckles would of taken her head off, but she ducked and he knocked over a tree. The fight ended because they were both upset about the tree.

Locke starts to call for Knuckles who would get in trouble if his dad saw him with Sally. Sally promised to keep their friendship a secret and hid. Knuckles walked away with his dad. A few moments later, King Acorn comes and finds Sally. The King mentions that the Guardian has a son around her age, but Sally says that she already has friends like Sonic, Boomer, and Antoine. While those two stroll the island, Knuckles watches them and says that he thinks he'll see her again someday.
