Act 1: Speedless in Mayfield

[768mph]

[Action 1: Outside 1333 Benny...in the doghouse]

[White...it's all white. Sonic reaches forward, reaching for anything, not finding a thing until his eyes close again, and his hand hits the ground. It's grass.]

Did...did I just dream that? What was that thing?

[He raises his head a bit before opening his eyes...though they pop open when he bangs his head on the doghouse wall above his head.]

OW!

[Rubbing his head, he blinks and crawls out of the doghouse, clearly confused. And quite naked. Well...naked for him.]

I think it really did happen. The force from the monster's suction must've pulled my gloves clean off.

[He taps his foot against the grass. And notices something much more disturbing.]

My shoes! Ok, now i know something's wrong!

[His first instinct is to go bang on the house door nearest to him.]

HEYYY! Open up!

[Action 2: In town]

Man...this sucks.

[No speed. None at all. And even if he COULD go fast, his feet would likely burn up from the friction of the ground. And the concrete against his bare feet didn't feel too great to move at whatever speed he could muster.]

Just what is this place? And that monster that brought me here?

[Yep Mayfield...Sonic thinks the Time Eater is part of you.]

Comments

[768mph]

It was pretty bad. The world would've crumbled if we didn't stop it. But, these things usually end up in my favor.

Sounds like a great power to me!

[spinningorange]

Did it end up in your favor that time?

[768mph]

Yep. But...then Chip had to go back to sleep. He only needs to be awake when the thing is.

[He's still smiling at this though. He knows Chip did what he had to do. No use crying over it.]

[spinningorange]

So he can only be awake when he has to be?

[768mph]

I'm afraid so. And if he has to come back, I'll help him out in any way I can.

Though, hopefully I won't have to Werehog out that time.

[spinningorange]

...does that mean you're a superhero?

[768mph]

Hmmm...I guess so? I don't really see myself like that.

[Humble to a fault at some times...]

I just do what should be done. That's all.

[spinningorange]

That's exactly what superheroes say! You really are a superhero!

(Flying in circles and in celebration.)

I make friends with superheroes! I make friends with superheroes!

[768mph]

[Sonic rubs the back of his head, trying to shake off the Charmy vibe Chen is giving off.]

Heh...I guess you do then.

[spinningorange]

(Chen might find that offensive if she knew about that.)

Yes I do!

(...or not.)

Does that mean you have a secret identity?

[768mph]

Nope. I don't think I could hide it very well.

[He chuckles and sweeps his head quills a bit.]

[spinningorange]

With a good costume, you might be able to! Superheroes have costumes to hide their identities!
