They do it ALL the time for a number of reasons
Lawyer didn't show up
Papers weren't in order and complete
Looking for more evidence
A witness they depended on didn't show up
The Judge had something more important
JUST don't you try it or it counts against YOU to not show.

They can do that if they have reason that they do not want them to be held together, or something. All you can do is go by what they tell you.

Not true.
If you want you and your buddy to be tried together, make a motion to that effect.

So if they were scheduled the same day and then separated then they can make the motion to get them tried together.
What if the one is like really soon?
I thought that they often separate them for legal reasons.

Its hard to say without knowing,
I always thought they could separate cases because of evidence and stuff they didn't want introduced, or conflict of interest or whatever in the same case and stuff like that.
That's why I was saying they are going to do whatever they are going to do.

Thats why I was saying they are going to do whatever they are going to do.
If the prosecutor asked to separate the cases for substantive reasons like this, the OP should have received a motion to that effect and been given an opportunity to object.
More likely, the judge decided to calendar the cases on different dates for scheduling purposes only.
On the other hand, we still don't know what the upcoming hearing is. Is it simpy an arranignment, a pretrial hearing, or something of that nature? Or is it the actual trial?

Something missing.
You were accused (ticket).
Scheduled for penalty (fine or sentence).
When was the adjudication of guilt? Did you enter a plea?

I think the OP has to come back and let "us" know the status of this - whether it's a pretrial hearing, "arranignment," [sic] or something along those lines -

You got a court date so you go and plead guilty or not guilty.
You will most probably have to pay a fine and/or some jail time. I don't know cause you haven't really given any details other than a fine for underage drinking.
I assume this is your first encounter with the law.

There can be dozens of reasons. Welcome to the (not so) fun world of justice, American style.

Basically you were arrested - you were just given notice to come to Court instead of dragged off to jail.
