Silver the Hedgehog stood on the edge of a doughnut-shaped planet, with lava in the center. The lava was home to King Kaliente, a giant octopus. The octopus king reminded Silver of Iblis...the way that it fought with flames and fire, and was evil. Silver didn't like the comparison.
The hedgehog, quite smaller than the king, dodged some fireballs that King Kaliente had shot out of his..."nose". The next thing after that the king shot was a green coconut. Silver used this to his advantage and used telekinesis to bop the coconut back at the fiery monster, causing it to become stunned for a second before continuing to fight.
Silver was calm fighting this beast...probobly because of his experience fighting Iblis, and Kaliente wasn't used to this, so when he was defeated easily, he couldn't believe it. However, Silver was quite triumphant, and not at all surprised by his victory.
"That takes care of that," Silver said, looking at the pool of lava the octopus had disappeared into. He looked to the side as a yellow star with eyes floated up to him. It made some funny movements and noises, and Silver couldn't understand it.
"What is it, little guy?" Silver asked it. It made a little motion for Silver to follow it, so in awe, he did, and followed the star to the other side of the planet.
Waiting for him there was Sonic, surrounded by more of the stars. Sonic smiled and waved.
"Long time no see!" Sonic exclaimed, walking up to Silver. They laughed as the stars danced around them.
"Who are these guys?" Silver asked, gesturing to the stars and smiling at them. They sure were cute!
"These are Lumas. I can understand them...kinda..." Sonic confessed. "We got transported to another dimension after I broke Eggman's Chaos Control machine...but don't worry, I know how to get back, we should probably rescue the others first, wherever they are!"
"C'mon!" Sonic exclaimed, pulling out the red Chaos Emerald. The Emerald began to glow, and engulfed the hedgehogs and Lumas in a bright, white light, transporting them somewhere. When the light was gone, Silver blinked away the bright spots covering his vision. He looked around at where they were...in an observatory, of sorts. Standing in front of them was a very beautiful woman, and next to her was a black star with blue eyes instead of black.
"Is this your friend, Sonic the Hedgehog?" The woman asked. Her voice...it was odd, somehow. Childish with a sence of authority, and comforting...in a way.
"Yeah!" Sonic answered cheerfully. Silver guessed they had already met...and learned a bit about each other. "This is Silver the Hedgehog," Sonic introduced. Silver waved sheepishly as his gaze still wandered around in awe.
"Hello, Silver the Hedgehog," the woman began. "I am Rosalina, and this is my Luma, Polari," she introduced herself and her friend. "Welcome to the Comet Observatory."
Before Rosalina could say anything else, a little white mushroom, with pink spots, eyes, a mouth, arms and feet, carrying a brown sack, ran up to her frantically. The mushroom made some noises, speaking to Rosalina, which she understood easily.
"Sonic the Hedgehog, do you know two cream-colored rabbits?" Rosalina asked Sonic. Sonic answered her question in a flash.
"Yeah! Cream and Vanilla!" Sonic said quickly. The little mushroom stood beside Rosalina still.
"They have been spotted in the Sweet-Sweet Galaxy. Do you mind rescuing some more friends?"
"Count me in! See ya later, Silver!" Sonic said, as he ran to a dome-shaped thing covered in grass.
Silver still stared around in awe at the scenery around him. This place, the Comet Observatory, was amazing. Flowers, Lumas everywhere, and the big, glowing, star-like thing in the center, which Silver assumed to be the Observatory's power source. Silver heard Rosalina giggle, which seemed to echo somehow. This woman sure was strange.
"I can tell you like this place already," Rosalina said, in a motherly sort of tone. Silver didn't bother to let his gaze rest, he was still looking around as he responded.
"Y-Yeah...it sure is amazing," Silver answered. He stopped looking around and looked at Rosalina, his gaze shifting from the ground, to her, to the ground, and so on as he asked a question.
"Have...have you spotted anyone else from our dimension?" Silver asked, a bit awkwardly, if he had to describe it. He nervously shifted his gaze to meet the strange woman's once again, a warm smile plastered on her face. The mushroom had left by this time.
"No...not yet...why, are you missing someone?" Rosalina replied/asked. Silver dropped his head to the ground in attempt to conceal the blush creeping onto his face. Rosalina giggled, very aware of the hedgehog's awkward moment.
"N-no..." Silver stuttered, but decided not to lie, and finished his sentence. "Yeah..." he finished.
"I can tell! You must love them very much," Rosalina teased. Silver didn't look away from the ground as he responded.
"Well..." Silver didn't know how to continue. He was lost for words. Rosalina giggled again, out of amusement for Silver's awkwardness.
"There's no shame in loving someone," Rosalina began. The hedgehog's gaze flickered upward, locking on Rosalina once again. "Tell me about her!" The woman insisted. Silver sighed slightly and began telling Rosalina all about his purple-cat friend: Blaze.
