Midget in a hazmat

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

[No, really, there is what looks like a midget in a hazmat suit, with a little note pad in its hands. It stops after several steps, looking around the hub, confused. This...did not look like where they were just three seconds ago. Not even close. Too bright...and...flying rings? The circus? Or...

Also said hazmat suit is covered in smelly gunk, but don't let that deter you.]

Yeow!

[His eyes! His poor, hedgehog eyes!

He stumbles back, covering his face.]

What was that for?!

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

What are you and what have you done to me!!?

[That...sounds awfully like Sally...]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Wait a sec!

[That voice...]

Sal? That you?

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

[At this, she freezes.]

...


How...how did you know my name!?

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Uh, earth to Sal. You're one of my best pals and one of the Freedom Fighters.

[Plus, his main squeeze, but no need to throw too much at her at once.]

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

[...Well, they did say prolonged exposure to the sewage under the city could cause hallucinations. Maybe she has brain cancer already.

She does take off her helmet, revealing her long hair in a sweaty bun...which his Sally probably didn't have.]

I've never heard of a 'Freedom Fighter' in my life.

And I know for a fact I've never met you before...whatever you are.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

[...Okay, yeah. Definitely not his Sal. Still, something's weird about this.]

I'm a hedgehog. Name's Sonic.

[Hrmm... But she's never heard of the Freedom Fighters?]

So if you haven't heard about the Freedom Fighters, what about Mobius? Robotnik?

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

No, I've never heard of anything like that.

[It actually makes her look all confused.]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

So where are you from?

['cause if it's not Mobius, then he's got nothing.]

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

From Station Square! Isn;t that where everyone is from?

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Never heard of it.

[Le shrug.]

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

[Huff.]

I don't have time for this.

[Those gauges weren't going to check themselves, brain cancer or no.]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Well, ya might wanna make time. I've done some lookin' around, and there's no way outta here, 'cept for those rings.

[He points towards one of them.]

And even they lead back to this place.

Then I'll just go home then.

[She seems angry...or, if Sonic can sense it, perhaps a little bitter, as she walks into the ring. It wasn't fair. The freak with brain cance--]

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

[--it's two minutes before Sally comes flying out of the ring, screaming. She's completely drenched, her hair half-out of her bun, and her eyes are wild, as if she'd just been chased by something really big.

What the--]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

[Eep! Whatever happened in there, it can't be good.]

You okay, Sal?

[He could always go look for a towel...]

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

What...the...just...happened......

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

You tell me! I mean, you're the one who went in there.

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

Giant...thing in the water! I don't know what it was!

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

This I've gotta see!

[He grins, turning towards the ring.]

Be back in a Sonic second!

[And he dashes right into the ring without another word. Don't worry, he'll be back soon enough.]

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

Wait--!

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

[Too late!

He's already disappeared into the ring. However, he'll be back in a few minutes, rushing right out of the ring with the biggest smirk.]

Man! That was way past cool! Talk about major thrills!

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

What!!? How was that cool!!?

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Because goin' neck in neck with danger's what I live for. And that whale was huge! I've never seen anything like it before, and that's sayin' something.

[fellfromthetree.livejournal.com]

......Whale?
