[These past few days, Sonic's been enjoying all the different zones, but he's had something on his mind. And now he's taking the time to address the general population with a big question.

Well, big in his opinion.]

You know, cool as this place is, there's somethin' that's been bugging me for a while.

[He takes a bite of a chili dog.]

Anyone else seen doubles of people here? More than one version, I mean. Could've sworn I've seen at least two other hedgehogs juicin' around here, and they were all blue! Plus, I've seen at least two different Sals, and they were both totally different than the one I know.

It just feels like there's something fishy goin' on. Mondo fishy.

[Is that a chili dog he sees? Awesome god or not, chili dogs = very much yes.

Also this creepy masked guy sounds verrrry familiar.]

[...Whoa, okay. That is a little weird. Sonic's tempted to ask about the armor, but he'll hold off for now.]

I keep hearing about all this zone stuff, but it's news to me.

Well, I guess that makes sense.

[Kinda.]

Explains why Tails didn't know anything about Mobius or the Freedom Fighters, at least.

[After all, he was the leader - no, the god who protected both now. Tails, his best friend no matter the reality, needed to know what he stood for.]

[Okay, he's starting to get really weird vibes from this guy. Just who is he?]

Sure, I can teach him a thing or two! He might not be the same Tails I know, but he's still my lil' bro.

[At this, he floats a little, crossing his legs. One of them is tapping thin air.]

[Okay, why's he using Tails' real name? Creeeepy.]

Sure, he gets a little stubborn sometimes, but I can get through to him! I'm his best bud, after all.

And just how are ya plannin' to do that?

[Sorry, bub, but he's a little suspicious now.]

Whoa, time out! Just what're you gonna do to him, man?

~~[What is this mind rape you speak of]~~

Okay, maybe I'm gettin' ahead of myself. What can I say? Ya look kinda spooky with that armor on. What's all that about, anyway?

A god? Okay, so maybe you've got some cool powers, but how's that make ya a god?

And just who are you anyway?

[At this, he takes off his helmet.]

Huh?

[Chaos Emeralds and... that's... Whaaaa? He's totally speechless here.]

Well, it's pretty cool.

[Maybe more than that, but something still seems a little fishy to him.]

So what's this about Chaos Emeralds?

Another me? Ha. That would be easy enough to take care of.

And by take care of, what do ya mean? Beat the stuffing outta them?

[Because that's the first thing that came to mind. Oh, Sonic.]

*Smirks* I'd just skip all that and go straight for a rocket to the face. It's quick and to the point. Besides. I wouldn't want to make myself all ugly in the process.

But why would ya wanna thrash another you. Sure, it's weird seein' double, but who says that's a bad thing?

I do, because I know myself best~

But having a double's gotta have its perks, too.

[Like self indulgence, twice the awesome, and... double teaming. Hah.]

Lien-Da, dear, would you kindly refrain from threatening to murder yourself? I--it's not right.

I like to think of it as a pre-emptive strike.

[ Don't you love it when you don't understand a word someone else is saying? Metal is unfortunately stuck on the opposite end of that, though with his weird mental link to his universe's Sonic, who can say just how much the other hedgehogs around here understand? ]

[Whoa! It's a robot hedgehog... one that looks distinctly pointier than his Uncle Chuck.

Sonic's a little on edge, but he'll listen to... whatever it is this guy's saying.]

Could you repeat that?

[ This whole "not being understood" thing is really getting old. ]

...Uh. Could you try that in English?

[Because otherwise he's totally lost.]

[Speaking of those Sallys...here's one running nearby now!]

Sal?

[Whoa, what happened?

Well, he better go see what she's up to.]

What's up?

AH!

[At this, Sally jumps back, letting out a gasp. It's good to note that she is covered in...well, crap. That's the best word to describe it, really.

Oh right and she's swinging a fist at Sonic. Uuh.]

Hey, watch it!

[Good thing he's got quick reflexes! Sonic steps out of the way, but he doesn't look too happy about that punch attempt.]

Man, what happened to you? You're covered in gunk, Sal.

You...YOU'RE A ROBOT, AREN'T YOU?!

[She looks completely on edge.]

Moi, a robot? No way! I bust bot-heads for a living. Why would I be another chrome dome?

How do I know that? You could be wearing a skin covering to trick me!

Why else would you AND that robot call me 'Princess'?

That's because the Sal I know is a princess! The one from my zone. We grew up together, and I wouldn't make something like that up.

Heh.

[Her, a princess. Growing up with other freaks. Well. Just like this place, it was likely just a dream. A hollow, impossible dream that she'll eventually wake up from, and go back to the life she knows is her true lot.

She doesn't say it out loud, but it's definitely written on her grime-covered face.]

[Man, it's just so weird to think about. She may look like Sally, but she's so different.

For a few moments, Sonic's completely silent, just watching her with a frown.]

I know it's a lot to take in. And I don't expect ya to believe me, either. Guess it would be pretty weird to hear about...

You're right. I don't believe you. I just...can't. I've been the only one who looks like this since...since...ever. My parents are human. Everyone in Station Square - and Station Square is the entire world - is human.

How am I supposed to know I'm not just going to wake up at any moment?

You could always try pinchin' yourself.

[A beat. Maybe now's not the best time for humor.]

You're seriously the only Mobian out there? Man, that's gotta be rough.

[Yeah, Sally's not exactly in a joking mood. Sorry Sonic, nothing personal.

However, that question does get a sharp rebuke.]

I'm not a...'Mobian'. I'm human.

[To Sonic, she might sound like she's completely deluding himself, especially given that there was practically no way she could be anything but a Mobian. Maybe she is, but then again, this is the first time she's ever even heard of the word, and that shows as well. And maybe she really does believe what she says to be the truth.]

[Whether she believes it or not, it still boggles the hedgehog mind. He's never seen a Mobian in denial like this, especially Sally.

How's he even gonna...? Sigh.]

Would it really be so bad if you were? Mobian, human... that kinda stuff shouldn't matter. It's what's inside that really counts.

...You're really idealistic, aren't yo.

Hey, better to be upbeat than worry all the time.

[He's not saying that she does, mind you. Just a general statement.]
