I actually wasn't sure whether to continue this one or not...but back by popular demand, Sonic at the MBC!

Note: Fero & Skirmix, Sam vs. Sonic was exactly what I thought when I was thinking up this story.


"Whadda ya mean?!" Sonic shouted, but quieted a little when he continued with narrowed eyes, "If you knew what I just came from, then you wouldn't even have us 'tied' up."

"Well," Chris said, "We'll need to take you back to the clubhouse, and do some research."

They were escorted to the clubhouse, but deemed safe enough for Cathy to unwrap her arm from around them. As soon as they got inside, Sonic marvelled at the technology in there, murmuring how it was almost like Eggman's.

Chris ran to the chair and quickly typed in something like 'Blue Hedgehog', and, finding nothing, turned to the others.

"Are we sure they're not just some kids in a costume?"

Sonic tweaked his own ear. "I think we're real enough."

"Well, where do you come from, then?" Sam asked, almost nose to nose with Sonic.

"Ever heard of the planet Mobius?" Amy asked, pushing between the two, to try and prevent any fights.

"You mean, like the strip?" Danny asked.

"What?" Sonic turned to him.

"You know, the strip of paper you take the two ends, turn one of them and tape it together, and then it only has one side?" he explained.

"Er, no," Sonic said. "We come from the planet Mobius."

"It's not in our database," Chris whispered to Sam. Cathy heard this and commented,

"But all the planets in our database are ones that've been discovered by Grandpa or any of his friends. It's quite possible that we just don't know about."

"I guess," Chris replied slowly, not really warming to the idea.

"Now," Danny said, "The real question is, 'How do we get these guys home?'"

"That's what I'd like to know," Sonic agreed grudgingly. Chris turning back to the computer and searched for the planet again.

"We'd get you home straight away, but we can't without the coordinates for Mobuis, and I doubt you know those."

"Yeah, you're like me," Danny announced, "More the action adventure type." He did a neat tuck and roll. "And we have people like Chris for the tech stuff." Chris rolled his eyes. Sonic sniffed.

"I'm going to go get Grandpa," Cathy excused herself from the arguments and boasting.

"But you'll notice that one, you weren't nearly able to keep up with me," Sonic argued, "And two, it wasn't you who caught me."

This went on for several more minutes, until Cathy finally found her grandpa and took him to the clubhouse. "Mobius," he kept muttering, trying to remember where he'd heard the name before. "Mobius…Now I remember!" he exclaimed, just as he walked inside the entrance to the clubhouse. "Yes, I remember meeting someone who'd just visited there, forgot to ask his name of course, but I didn't hear good things about Mobius. Only things like how this one human named Dr. Eggman kept trying to 'take over the world,' and etcetera." He looked at Sonic and Amy. "You're from there, I take it?" Both nodded. "Well, I have no idea where it is, but I think I can probably get in contact with someone who does…" he trailed off, muttering to himself. "It'll take sometime, several days at least…"

"But Grandpa," Cathy pleaded, "What do we do with them for now?"

"Well," he sighed, "They can't stay here. Nope, that would be very bad." Cathy gave him a look.

"Er, why Mr. Smith?" Danny asked.

"Some alien residues react badly, sometimes explosively, with each other, and I don't know whether yours is one of them," he directed the explanation towards Sonic and Amy.

"So, you mean that they could blow up the yard if they touch any of your plants?" Sam asked.

"Yes, it's quite likely. That's also part of the reason that I arranged my yard the way I did: Some plants don't react well to others," he answered, then turned to leave. Cathy almost started to protest, but exclaimed at her grandpa's stubbornness in Rhapsodian, crossing her arms.

"What to do now," Chris paced across the clubhouse, then turned on his heel and stalked the other way. "Arg! This is so frustrating!"

"Why?" Sonic frowned. Chris sighed.

"Usually, we know everything about whatever alien happens to land here."

"Ahh," Sonic nodded. "Well, we'll be going now, while you figure things out."

Sam shot a quick, pleading look at Danny, who stepped in front of the door. "No, you'll be coming with me," he said, sticking a thumb to his chest, then took Sonic by his arm and almost dragged him, and Amy, who was trying to hold Sonic's hand, out of the clubhouse and the few blocks to Danny's home.


Lol, alien residue...I thought up that one myself...
