Heavy-Set Sally
Dr. Eggman was hard at work in his laboratory, hunched over a table where all manners of circuitry and devices were strung about, mixed in with the dirt plates of half eaten food. After a moment he began to search thought the piles of circuitry. His elbow brushed up against a cup, knocking it over and spilling day-old coffee over the side of the table. He grunted at it, not even bothering to pick it up or concern himself about the liquid that was pool on the floor. "A-ha" he said as he plucked a piece from his pile. He brought it up to his eye and examined his prize. He then place it into his device, which looked like a small metal ball with it's side taking off. After a moment work, brushed his brow and laughed.
"At last." he said softly to himself. " I have my the ultimate weapon."
"May I ask what it, Father?", asked A.D.A.M., Eggman's computer.
"A.D.A.M. my boy," Eggman said as he took a deep breath, preparing for a long monologue. "…When I first came to this world, it was broken. Incomplete. My foolish counterpart had failed to rid the world of that bombastic blue hedgehog, and in turn was destroyed by his own devices. After that the people of Mobius were free to live in peace and harmony… It sickened me. So I saw that as the perfect time to swoop down open this world, wide it clean and rebuild it in my own image, just as I had done with my world. And believe it or not A.D.A.M. I wasn't always the weak, mortal you see before you. I was once a robotic marvel. But alas that was my downfall. As soon as I came to this world, I was infected by a computer virus.
"No!", interrupted A.D.A.M.
"YES!" continued Eggman. "To make a long story short. It crippled my mind. I lost all the knowledge I gain conquering my own world, which means I also lost the secret of robotinization. To make matters worse I was abducted by aliens and turned into an organic, so I could no longer turned anybody I touched into a robot, losing all shredds of my former power. But…" he said raising his device. " I found a way around all that. This is the "Molecular Alternator Explosive" or M.A.E. When detonated, it baths the surrounding area in a transfiguring energy. I will load the pattern of my old robotized DNA into it. As a result, it will change any organic life into robotic." Eggman broke into manic laughter. He than began to stumble. He didn't realize how tired was.
"Curse this body." He hissed. "A.D.A.M. I want you to scan this and save the semantics to your memory." He place the device in a stasis chamber, where it floated up and down. "Then calibrate it to the genetic signature of subject: Dr. Ivo Robotnik. I'm going to rest. I don't want to be bother."
"Yes, Father" replied A.D.A.M. "Oh Father. A minor detail.."
"Well if it's a minor detail then I'm sure up can handle it", snapped Eggman as he stepped into an elevator. "Now don't bother me!" he added as the doors closed on him.
"As you wish, Father." said A.D.A.M. as he got to work.
The next day at the edge of the Knothole Forest, Princess Sally Acorn sat on a large, smooth stone next to Bunnie Rabbot.
"Nice day an't it Sally-girl." said Bunnie.
"It really is." replied Sally as She looked at all the people enjoying themselves. She used to come here back when her and the Freedom fighter were fighting Robotnik. Now the area had become a popular recreational area. She didn't mind all the people though. It was a sign that her kingdom was finally flourishing after years of war. But she also wondered what her place in that kingdom was. She let out a small sigh.
"What's wrong?" asked Bunnie.
"Ah Bunnie, I'm just having a hard time getting used to things" said Sally. "Since my parents made my quit the Freedom Fighters, I've been cooped up in that castle and… ahh!" jumped Sally as a frisbee landing between the two. Over ran a young fox.
"Sorry," he said, a little out of breath. "it got away from me and my friend." He motioned toward a rabbit who was wave his hand. Sally grabbed the frisbee and was getting ready to toss it to him, but to her surprise the fox hopped on to the side of the rock and gently took it from her hand. "Hey, you're the Princess Sally and Bunnie Rabbot, right? Sorry again."
"That's quite alright" said Sally.
"Umm… would you girls like to toss a few with me and my friend?" Asked the Fox.
"Oh I don't know about me. I'm kind of a butterfingers. But I'm sure the princess here would like to. She was just saying how she could use a little…exercise. " said Bunnie, giving a certain sensual inflection on the word "exercise", to which Sally rolled her eyes. Ever since Sally and Sonic broke up, Bunnie had tried to get Sally interested in every available male they saw. Sally always said no and Bunnie always said it was because she still loved Sonic.
"No thank you." said Sally. "Maybe another time." The Fox smiled and nodded at that and headed back to his friend.
"Why do you keep doing that?" asked Sally.
"Do what?" said Bunnie, acting dumb.
"You know what. Trying to marry me off to every guy with a cute face. Your worse than my dad!"
"So you thought he was cute." giggled Bunnie. Sally was just about to say something when she heard a familiar sound coming from the distance. She looked and saw a blue blur coming from the distance. The blue blur had stopped in front of them, creating a gust that tussled their fur.
"Sugar-hog!" Bunnie said as she jumped up to hug him. After the hug both Sonic and Bunnie turned to see that Sally hadn't move from her spot.
"Your Highness" Sonic said coolly.
"Maurice" replied Sally. When Sonic and Sally were still together, on the brink of becoming fiancées, Sonic's mother confined in Sally her son's birth name. After they broke up Sally just started to call him that, trying to keep the utmost professional relationship between them.
"Well I was just on patrol and saw you guys here." said Sonic, talking more to Bunnie than Sally "You hungry. I was just about grab some dogs. I could bring some back here?"
"None for me, thank you," Said Sally standing up. "I'll think I'll head home now. Bunnie, I'll see you later. Maurice, I'll trust you'll keep up the good work."
Sally started to walk away. After a while she looked back and saw Bunnie and Sonic sitting on the rock. She stop to watch as Sonic hung his head and Bunnie placed her hand on her shoulder, a sympathetic look on her face. Sally let out a "hmph", turned back kept walking.
"I'm not going down that road again." Said Sally under her breath.
Just then She heard a crash . She turned around to see a three Swatbots rush out a fallen aircraft and attacked Sonic and Bunnie. Sally started to run back to her friends, pass all the other people that were just in the clearing who began to run for their lives. By the time Sally got there Sonic had already shredded through one, and Bunnie took care of another. But the last Swatbot had grabbed the distracted Bunnie and toss her aside. Sonic gave it a sonic spin and cut off it's leg. Unfortanatly Sonic landed to close the still active torso of the robot. It reached and grabbed sonic's ankle, delivering a massive electric shock, knocking Sonic out Then the swatbot reached for metal orb it had keep in a chest compartment. Just before it shut down it twisted. When Sally reached the area she saw both Sonic and Bunnie unconscious and saw the orb in the swatbot's hand, which started beeping faster and faster. Sally knew she couldn't carry both Sonic and Bunnie away in time so she reached for the orb. She wrestled it out of the robotic hands and began to run as fast as see could from her friends. Sally winded her arm back and hurled the orb forward with all her might. Suddenly there was a flash of white light. Then darkness.
Sally eyes popped open. Her vision was a little blurred but she could tell she was in a white room, and she could hear that she was hooked up to some medical devices. She remain still until her eyes regained focus. She looked around the room and saw Sonic standing by a window. Sally was about to say something but then she saw from Sonic's reflection that he had such and intense focus on his face, which took Sally back for a second. Finally she spoke up.
"Sonic…" she said softly, trying not to startle him. But it was no use, Sonic jumped at her voice and spun around. "…are you alright?" she asked.
"Am I alright?" Sonic said in disbelief. "Are you alright?" Sonic didn't wait for an answer though. He ran to the open door. "She's awake!", he shouted, startling a nurse and an elderly patient in a wheelchair who had been coming by. "Sorry" said Sonic sheepishly. He then ran to her side and grabbed here hand. Then into the room came Sally's mother and father, Queen Alicia and King Max. Queen Alicia ran towards Sally's side.
"Oh Sally are you alright?" she asked.
"I feel fine." replied Sally "Why? What happened?"
"Wha happened!" Said Bunnie walking into the room. "You were in an explosion. We found you in a crater."
"What!?" said Sally. She looked herself over, finding no wounds. "But I look and feel perfectly normal."
"I can't explain it ether", said Dr. Quack as he walked in, looking over his papers. " The results say your perfectly fine. Bunnie. Sonic. Did you actually see what happened?" Sonic shrugged his shoulders.
"Ah was out cold." Said Bunnie. "Me and Sonic both woke up after a while and found Sally laying unconscious ."
"Well I'm fine. Are you and Sonic o.k.?" Sally asked concerned.
"We're fine too, Sally-girl. Just through for a loop," said Bunnie. "Would you like some water?" Sally nodded. Bunnie headed out into the hallway, and passed Sally's parents who were talking to Dr. Quack.
"You did it again." said Sonic. Sally look at Sonic puzzled.
"What?" asked Sally.
"Called me 'Sonic'." he said gently, with a little bit of a sentimental expression on his face. Sally fluttered for a moment, but regained her bearings.
"Force of habit I guess" she responded noncelantly.
"Well, we're just lucky nothing happened to you.". said Sonic.
"You better believe it." said King Max, storming over to Sonic and Sally. "Sally how many times do I have to tell you to stop putting yourself in danger. That's no way for a princess to act." he scolded Sally. Sally had heard this speech before. At one time, she would have rebutted, but after a while she just got tired of it.
"Hey, all she was trying to do was save our lives." Sonic interjected. The King turned his head to Sonic and glared at him.
"And you! This would have never happen if you were doing your job." said the King. Sonic lowered his head in shame.
"Dad, it's o.k. Dr. Quack said I was alright." Sally said tring to calm him down.
"Indeed…" echoed Dr. Quack.
"Are you sure." asked the Queen.
"Of course. The test are exactly the same as her results from her last physical a few months back." reassured Dr. Quack. "Exept that she gained 5 and a half pounds." he mused. "And after a few more tests she can go home. Now I think the princess could use a little more rest." Dr. Quack began to herd everyone out. As everyone left, Sonic shot back a smile to Sally, and for the first time in a while… she smiled back.
It was nightfall by the time the royal family reach the Castle. After a ear full from her father on the way home, Sally went to her bedroom. She open the door and looked around. The huge room was furnished with all manner of exquisite furniture and items, everything a deep, rich pink and it included a bathroom the size of her old hut in Knothole Village…
…Sally hated it. She went to her closet. When she opened it she saw all the dresses that were given to her when she moved in. Aside from one or two she, never wore any of them. She began to search for a hanger in all the dresses.
"Forget it!" she said in frustration after two minutes of looking. She didn't even bother to shut the closet doors, as she walked over and sat on her bed, which was four times bigger than she really needed. She removed her vest first and tossed it on the floor. Then her boots. She undid her bed and laid down for the night.
Sally felt the sun on her face. "Morning Already" she thought. Keeping her eyes shut, she yawned and tried to sit up. But for some reason she felt incredibly heavy. So she just laid there stretched her arms and legs, which felt heavy too.
"Oh man, I must have been more worn out than I thought.", Sally said as she mustered enough strength to bring her hands to her face. She rub the sleep out of her eyes, and then returned her arms at her side, where she would have been content to leaving them there for the rest day. She looked out the window to see the sun just peeking over the horizon.
"Now wonder I'm so tired. It's still early." she said quietly to herself. "I always get up early" she mockingly scorned herself. "Guess I'm still not used to being a spoiled princess."
She laid there, staring up. All Sally had thought about that night was waking up in the medical ward with Sonic standing there. The look of concern and care on his face was just like in the old days.
"Maybe he…"she muttered. But then she stopped. It was over between her and Sonic. They had made that clear to each other. "Fat good it will do me." she said in another yawn. "Better get going" she said move her eyes down. The she froze. There in font of her view was something huge. "What is it?", she thought, "It's right on top of me… but I don't feel anything." After a second she reach out her hand and felt it. "It's soft and furry and…", then her eyes widened in shock. She touched it again. Then again. "This can't be." Then she pressed it hard to prove her dread.
"It's…It's… my stomach.", she said, panic in her voice. Her eyes then move from her massive stomach to her arms, which were also huge. Then she began to franticly take inventory of herself, which was a vain effort since her arms could only reach a little bit up the side of her stomach and down her sides, where she found her slender waist was replace with enormous love handles. Then she felt her face. Her cheeks were puffy and her neck was thick and soft. Then she looked down as her hands met her chest which had grown…no, swollen to twenty times it's size! She tried to scream but she couldn't find her voice. She couldn't even breath. She faded into darkness.
When she woke, she looked out at the sun which had roused far over the horizon. She yawned.
"What a horrible nightmare." she said to herself. "Better get going". She rose out of bed and stretched her arms and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Groggy, she started to walk over towards her bathroom. As she walked thought the door, something stopped her. She looked.
"Oh no", she said. Her hips were stuck in the doorway. Her panic returned, as she wiggled her way free and ran to the mirror. She stared at her face, which seemed both familiar and foreign. The mirror once shown her whole figure from her torso up. Now only her face, shoulders and a small portion her new chest could be seen. "This can't be" she said as she looked away from the mirror, feeling faint again. She looked down at her stomach, which now eclipsed her feet. She then noticed a scale shoved under her sink. She reached down for it, almost losing her balance due to her new girth. Lucky, her legs had became just as thick and, to Sally's surprise, were quite sturdy. She look around as regained her position. She look up at her behind for the first time. Not believing it was hers, she took a moment to wiggled her tail, which was always small, but now it looked absolutely petite compared to her massive buttocks. Regaining her focus she grabbed the scale, which was covered with dust. Sally had never needed to check her weight before. She wasn't even curious about it. But now she needed to. Irrational as it seemed, it was the only thing that she could think of. Always the calculating type, she was desperate for a number. She set it in the middle of the room. She stood up straight, took a deep breath and a step. Immediately, she heard a crunch, and stopped. She looked down around the side her stomach to see what happened.
"Oh great", see said aloud, her anxiety faded and replaced by a mock interest. " I broke the scale…" she turned around. As she squeezed back out the bathroom doorway she finished , "…with one foot."
Meanwhile in Robotropolis, Eggman paced the floor of his camber, riddled with frustration. He had been up all night asking the same question.
"How could the M.A.E. not have worked." he puzzled. Look at his monitors. On them were recordings of the yesterday's events capture by a spy drone. "The princess got a full dose of it! Fully engulfed! She should be totally robotic! A.D.A.M display the molecular transfiguration program!"
"Right away, Father", said A.D.A.M as the computer as the chart popped up on the screen. Eggman's eyes widened.
"What's this? This isn't a metallic molecule you have here. It's organic. A.D.A.M., what is the meaning of this."
A.D.A.M. Chimed in , " It's the genetic pattern of Dr. Ivo Robotnik."
"I told you to use my old genetic make-up, when I was a robot, when I first came to conquer world from my dimension ." said Eggman angrily.
"Which all due respect, Father, you told me to calibrate the device with the genetic signature of Ivo Robotnik. But there were two entries under Ivo Robotnik, so I defaulted the first entry to those specifications."
"The original Robotnik", Said Eggman, rubbing his chin in revelation. "The bloated, weak mockery of myself. A.D.A.M. what are those specifications?"
After a moment A.D.A.M responded, " Specifications for 'M.A.E'. Transfiguration 1: Subject will become organic. Transfiguration 2: Subject will increase in mass, consisting of 41.34% body fat."
Eggman pondered for a moment. "Which means…". He trailed off. Eggman could help but smirk. "Oh that's rich!" he blurted, releasing a hearty laugh. "Not what I expected but…". He trailed off again, collapsed in his chair, laughing himself to sleep.
Back in Knothole, Sally sat in the examination room of Dr. Quack. Both Quack and Rotor were looking over charts and x-rays of Sally from the day before and from that morning. She had been there for hours receiving all sorts of tests. Sally looked up occasionally to see the two in the heat of discussion. Occasionally, one of them would glace at Sally, looking her up and down, and then turn back. She also look down and the hospital gown they had brought her. Her eyes nearly filled with tears when the nurse mention to Dr. Quack it was the last one of it's size and he need to order more Hippopotamus size gowns.
There with Sally was her mother, father and Bunnie. Queen Alice sat next to Sally on the examination table, holding her daughters hand. From time to time Sally looked down at her mother who would give here daughter a reassuring smile, which made her feel a little better. One thing she didn't realize when she was alone in her bedroom was that along with gaining over 350 pounds she grew about a foot and a half taller. Her father had tried to sit on the other side of her but there wasn't any room and he fell off. The king was a bit shocked but Sally was the one who felt embarrassed that her butt took up almost all of the table. So Max paced the room with Bunnie, stopping ever so often and placing his hand on top of his wife's and daughter's. Bunnie tried to cheer Sally.
"Well, Sally-girl, ah got good news and bad news." said Bunnie while a male cat nurse was checking Sally's heartbeat. " The bad news is ya still can't fit into mah bra. But the good news is ya still can't fit into mah bra." Sally smiled, not at the joke really, but when Bunnie gestured to the young cat's face which had turned red. Bunnie's statement made him realized that he had just placed his hand between the biggest pair of breasts he had ever seen. For a moment he looked up at Sally's rich blue eyes, and she gave him a nervous smile. Nervously removing the stethoscope from his ears, he said "Perfect". At that point Bunnie couldn't help but snicker, which made the cat's blush deepen. "I mean your heartbeat is perfect…your heartbeat". The nurse than handed the notes to Dr. Quack and then head straight out the door. At that point Bunnie erupted into a giggle fit, which brought a little levity to the room.
Dr. Quack interrupted with, "I think me and Rotor have reached a consensus. It seems that blast from Eggman's device did have some effect on Sally."
"Obviously" Sally said, her eyes glaring and with a bit of a harsh hiss in her voice, which took back everyone in the room. Sally's eyes softened as she realizing what she had just done. She shank her head in apology but everyone gave her a look of understanding.
"As I was saying", Dr. Quack continued. "The blast seems to have effected you by targeting the lipid cells of your body. Causing them to divide until your body reaches a certain body mass, around 40% body fat actually."
"How does that explain Sally-girl getting taller?" asked Bunnie.
"Well", Rotor chimed in, "Well it seems that Sally's body is trying to adjusting to the mutatio…" Rotor stopped as he looked at Sally, a look of hurt across her face. Rotor got so caught up in his diagnosis that he barely realize he called on of his closest and dearest friends a mutant. Clearing his throat he finished with, "…adjusting to the changes. According to these readings her muscular and skeletal systems were trying keep up with the changes, just at weaker pace. Sally when you woke up the first time this morning you said you could barely move your arms." Sally nodded. "Then a few hours later you were able to get out of bed like normal, run and bend down. And look," Rotor pointed to some charts, "This is a scan of Sally two hours ago, and here is one of just a under a half hour. Her muscle density nearly doubled."
"So she's getting stronger and taller?" asked the Queen.
"Possibly stronger," said Dr. Quack. "We are certain that she won't get any taller …or fatter." Everyone but Sally filched at that remark. Dr. Quack was always a bit blunt. Sally glanced at everyone.
"Well I'm glad someone pointed out the elephant in the room. So to speak" said Sally.
"Can you treat it", said the King.
Rotor spoke up, "Well the process is just like robotinization, so in theory it could be reversed. We just need time to find the inverse of the frequency. It should actually be easier than reversing robotinization."
"Is it all that complicated?", Bunnie chimed in. "Wha about a diet or exercise… or even surgery."
"Wouldn't do any good.", Dr. Quack responded. "This isn't a matter of diet. It's a matter of gennetics. If she burns fat through exercise or we remove it through surgery, her body will just produce more. In other words, her body is on a stuck on this setting. She can't get any skinner or fatter no matter what anyone does. And at any rate we don't want to try." He look directly at the princess. "Sally, your body is trying correcting itself. It's just now finding a balance it can function in. The worst thing we could do is aggravat it by doing something rash. I know it's hard but the best thing we could do is wait and figure things out."
"Yeah like why Eggman would want to do this anyone.", interjected Rotor, stating question that was on his mind.
"But what about her health?", The Queen asked.
"According to her vitals, she is as healthy as she always was." said Dr. Quack as look over his papers. "Her blood pressure is normal. Her cholesterol is still superb. She's fine. Of course we will want to give her regular check-ups while she's in this condition. Other than the weight, I would say in the mean time she could live a perfectly normal life."
Sally was silent. Bunnie finally spoke up. " Do you think ah could talk with Sally alone?" The queen looked at her daughter. Sally half-smiled and nodded. Everyone quietly left. Bunnie walked over to Sally and sat beside her. The two were quite for a moment.
"Did ya see the look on that guy?" Said Bunnie, breaking the silence. Heh was kinda cute?"
"Shut up, Bunnie", said Sally, calmly but anger in her voice.
"Sally-girl, ya never told mah to shut-up in yur whole life". responded Bunnie in shocked.
"Bunnie, the last thing I want is to think about going out." Sally said as stood up and turned away from Bunnie.
"Ah was just joking"
"Well it wasn't funny. That guy probably thinks I'm a freak. Everyone does."
"Sally-girl, no one thinks yer're a freek"
"Just go away, Bunnie. You wouldn't know how I feel."
Bunnie's eyes narrowed at that remark. "Ya know yer right. I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know what it it's like to have people stare at you because your different." On that note she raised her robotic arm.
Sally turned around realizing what she had just said. "Oh Bunnie. I… I'm sorry I didn't mean it. I wasn't… wasn't…"
"Thinking!", Bunnie interrupted, her voice harsh. "Ya weren't thinking that there might be someone else who has body issues. Ya know Sally wether you believe it or not, you and me are to peas in a pod."
"Bunnie… my situation is different".
"Is it?" Bunnie snapped back. "Remember those nights, where Ah would look at my legs and arm and just cry. But you were always there for me. You told me that it doesn't matter what a person looked like as long as they got a good heart. Now did you mean it or was it all hogwash?
"Yes…wait, NO…I…"
"And you know what" Bunnie continued . " It is different, Sally-girl. Because I give anything to be like you. Right here, right now. You might be huge, but at least half of your body an't missing. And shoot, my family is full of big women. Who knows what I'll look like in twenty years. But I tell you something ah do know. Ah'll have these…" said Bunnie displaying her legs and left arm. Sally looked away in shame. Bunnie then stormed toward the door. When her hand reached the door handle she looked back, tears welling up in her eyes.
"The Sally ah thought knew would have brushed this off her sholders and walked out of this room with here head held high but you've changed… or ah guess your just alittle more shallow than you ever let on." And with that she walked out the door. Sally didn't know what to do except cry.
Later that day, Princess Sally came home to the palace feeling tired and emotionally drained. She remove the trench coat her parents had picked up for her while Dr. Quack was finishing up her examination and tossed it on the floor where her vest and boots were still sitting form yesterday. Her mother hand pointed out that Sally would need something more to wear that just a vest and a pair of boots in public from now on, at least until she was back to normal. The princess agreed whole heartedly. But she didn't want to think about that right now. Although it was only late afternoon she asked not to be disturbed for the rest of the day. So Sally laid on her side in bed, and stared out the window as night began to fall.
Just then there was a knock on her door. The princess remain perfectly quite and still. She was in no mood to talk to anyone. The door opened and in walked the visitor. Sally immediately identified her by her silhouette.
"Sally-girl? Are you awaked?" asked the visitor. Sally didn't budge. "I know our not asleep. And if you are, it was awfully rude to learn how to stop snoring after we quit being roommates." Sally couldn't help but smiled at that. She turned around to she her old friend.
"Hey", said Sally as she sat up and pulled her legs over the side of the bed. "You're the last person I thought I see tonight."
"Like I said you were always there for me. Figure it was only right I return the favor." said Bunnie sitting down next to Sally. " Ah shouldn't have said all those hurtful things back there."
"No, Bunnie. You were right. Things could be so much worse." Said Sally looking down. "I could have been robotized or even killed by that blast. All I could think about was what people would think about me. I guess I am pretty shallow."
"Ah that was a lot of huff and puff back there. You got a good head on your shoulders and a good heart. We just got alittle carried away back there."said Bunnie. She reached out her arms. "Friends?"
"Friends" said Sally reaching down and wrapping her arms around Bunnie, inervetily smothering her for a couple of seconds.
"So what's the plan?" Asked after Bunnie she regain her barings.
"Well Rotor and Dr. Quack are going to work on way for me to get back to normal. But since I'm not in any sort of immediate danger I insisted that Dr. Quack continue his practice at the hospital, and Rotor and him can work on this in thier spare time. At any rate it will take them at least a month to work out the theory behind it."
"Ouch", said Bunnie, "So what are you going to do with yourself until then?"
"Well I know tomorrow I'm going to be fitted for some new cloths. And I would like it if my best friend could be here. For support."
"Deal." Said Bunnie.
"And after that, I'll guess It business as usual." Said Sally, resting her right hand on her belly, staring into space. "Bunnie, is what you said about your family true?" she asked after a moment of silence.
"You bet. In fact my mother was big ol' girl. And everyone told my I looked just like her when she was mah age. Course that's what good ol' Southern cooking and seven babies will do to ya."
"Seven babies," Sally blurted out.
"Well, the Rabbots tend to have big families." Bunnie replied.
"Does Antoine know about your, um… 'legacy'." Sally smirked.
"Well what Antoine doesn't know can't hurt him." Bunnie said coyly, slowly crossing her legs. Sally and Bunnie laugh at that for good while.
"Well I better be heading out." said Bunnie. As Sally walked to the door Sally stopped her.
"Bunnie. I would like to keep this a secret, just for now. So please don't tell any of the others yet." said Sally. Bunnie nodded. Sally sincerely added "Especially Sonic." Bunnie couldn't help but smile and raise her eye brow. "Don't give that look?", Sally half spoke, half laughed. "You know him. He'll think this is his fault. I just need to think of a way to break it to him."
"You got it Sally-girl".
As Bunnie left, Sally layed back down. She looked out the window at the Mobian moon, just as she did when Robotnik first took over Mobius, just like when she wondered what was she going to do when her father was sick, and just like all the times Sonic left her. "If I can get through all those times, I can get through this." she said to herself. The though filled her with a sence of peace as she difted to sleep.
