Sally's POV.

The party is soon over. I went over by my house and it's still clean. Despite that, I decided to clean it up anyway. It's amazing for me that I got everything back. Friends, family, and even love. I recall my conversation with Sonic on that night.

"It's amazing you're back, Sal," he said.

"Yeah, I'm back," I looked at my now metallic hands. "Sonic."

"Hmm?"

"Do you think I'm a monster?" I asked in concern.

"I don't think you're a monster. Despite you're a robot on the outside, you're still Sally on the inside, and that's all matters," Sonic started to kiss me.

"I can't feel even a kiss," I look disappointed.

"It doesn't matter. All that matters is that we're together again," he said smiling at me.

"Oh, Sonic," I kissed him again.

I'm just happy that our romance goes on. Just then, a knock came on my door and it's Elias.

"Get Sasuke. We need him for this mission," was he said.

We found him sleeping in a tree. Just when I thought a ninja like him would pull off something like that. I shake him to wake him up.

"I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, Sasuke."

"No, I'm not yet sleeping. I came here to wait if there's a mission," was his reply.

As we headed to the middle of the city, we find ourselves with some introductions. The other Secret Freedom Fighters are here and they're wearing black jumpsuits as well.

"Well, introduce them, why don't you?" Sasuke started.

I introduced him to them. I started from Silver up to Larry. Now he should be able to remember those people the next time he comes into this world, that is.

"Now, we find out that Naugus is up to," Elias stated the objective.

"Then I will ask him myself while you all listen," the ninja from the other world said.

"What? What do you mean you asking him yourself?"

"Well..." he started to explain what this is all about.

"You did what?!" Elias and I can't believe what Sasuke just did.

"You made a deal with Naugus?" I was really angry of what that troubled kid just did. "Are you crazy, Sasuke? Are you crazy?"

"What's the problem with that?" Sasuke coldly asked that.

"Do you have any clue what that wizard is going to do to you?" Silver asked.

"Yes. I mean no," that ninja is doing another cold statement.

I'm pretty sure he's just playing dumb.

"Naugus is gonna possess your body, that's what," I tried to defend Silver.

"I know," Sasuke suddenly said it as he shows his red eyes again; the eyes he mostly uses in combat to know what is the opponent's next move. "It's because I used my Sharingan to get inside his mind to discover that. Don't worry about that, Sally. I can reverse this one."

"You better be," I said coldly.

"Tell me, did someone you know got possessed before?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah, our father, that's who," I replied back. I recalled on what happened that day.

Suddenly, we take hiding in the bushes as Sasuke is ready to talk to Naugus about his next plot. Strangely, it wasn't Naugus that he's talking to, but it's none other than his apprentice, Geoffrey. Anyway, the Secret Freedom Fighters are recording the conversation.

"So, what's your next plan, master?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm going to unleash an army of the undead," Geoff replied.

"Well, that's very interesting," as usual, Sasuke doesn't have emotion on this one.

"That is one very interesting plan, my apprentice," the skunk replied back as he asked another question. "Make sure no one else is listening."

"Okay," was the reply.

Geoff then left as he goes back to the HQ. Just then, Sasuke went by us to tell us of this conversation.

"You heard that, huh?" he asked.

"Yeah, we heard that," I replied.

"Just so you know, that wasn't Geoffrey. It's Naugus possessing his body."

We were shocked on hearing that news.

I showed Sasuke my house as he successfully got inside. I gave him a tour before I went to bed while Sasuke sits down on a chair. As I take a look at my metallic hands, he feels concerned on the matter.

"Did this happened to you before?"

"Yeah," I replied back. I recalled on that moment as I explained it. "I planned to study to effects of the Roboticizer and the only way to do that is to be roboticized. Luckily, there's a device called the Neuro-Overrider, a computer chip that allows the subject to regain his or her free will. I volunteered for that matter, but it didn't go so well. I lose the chip and I became a slave until I'm turned back to normal."

"Well, here's a good advice. Don't struggle too much," Sasuke suggested. He's right. I could have done that before.

"Yeah, thank you for that comment."

"By the way, before you got roboticized again, bring that thing just in case," he suggested. Again, he's right.

"Thank you for bring that up," I groaned.

"Hey, uh, Sally?" Sasuke asked.

"Hmm?" I replied in confusion.

"Can I ask you something? If it's not too personal," was his reply. As I see worry is on his face, I could tell he really wants something.

"Sure, why not?" I smiled.

Sasuke clears his throat before asking. "Just as a concerned teammate and friend, I was just wondering about a person that you know of."

"Who?" I asked

"I was just wondering about Fiona Fox, that's who," was his reply.

I can't believe who's he's asking for. That name really brings me bad memories of her defecting the Knothole Freedom Fighters. It's all because of one thing: romance with Sonic's evil twin from an alternate universe, Scourge. Why, Sasuke? Why are you having an interest in her? I thought. Even I thought about how manipulative she is, using Tails' feelings for her is one of those signs.

"Why?" I finally asked.

"Because I want to understand why she left you and the others," he replied with concern.

"Let me guess, you have plans on getting her back to the light, huh?" I asked.

"Yes," was his reply. It's obvious.

"If you think you can pull off something like that, Sasuke, it's gonna be a hard task," I deadpanned a statement.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked in curiosity.

Well, you're gonna love this. I thought.

"Unlike me, whose actions are against my will, Fiona chose to be in the dark by her own will," I explained in detail as I told him about Fiona. "You see, she is not under mind control, manipulation, or even forced. Anyway, before she left, she is one of the best Freedom Fighters I ever had. She was a great technician and medic."

"That means she's a genius of some sort like me," Sasuke said. Indeed, he's one of the great minds I met.

"Well, she was. During her time as a Freedom Fighter, she has formed a romance with Sonic. Even worse, Tails has a crush on her at that time, but she doesn't return his affections since she doesn't have a romantic interest in him. Anyway, she left the Freedom Fighters when she ended up falling in love with Sonic's evil counterpart from an alternate universe, Scourge. Before she left, she slapped Tails. Can you believe that? Anyway, when we saw her again, she's wearing a different outfit. As a former Freedom Fighter, she wears an orange/white bodysuit and boots, and her hair is longer. As of now, she's wearing a black outfit, consisting of a black belly top, fingerless gloves, and pants, and her hair has become longer and wider," I continued.

As Sasuke look at me with such emotion on his face, he appears to have concern as I told him about Fiona.

"Thank you for sharing some information with me about her," he said as he touches my head. Too bad I can't feel his touch.

"Well, if you think you can reform Fiona by beating the sense out of her, it's not gonna work. Besides, it's her own will," I tried to make sense. It's impossible for him to do such act.

"To tell you the truth, this is one great way for Naruto to make friends," Sasuke stated. I can't believe that boy. He made friends that are from bad guys? Well, that's nice.

We paused for a while then we continued on this conversation.

"You're right, but we might as well try," Sasuke suggested with no emotion. I could say he has no idea what this woman can do. "Now, go to sleep," too bad I can't sleep. I'm a robot so I don't need to sleep. "Um, Sally? Why can't you sleep?"

"Why, Sasuke? Look at me! In this form, I can't eat, drink, or sleep!" I started to have coolant coming out of my eyes and going down to my cheeks as I ranted over what I have become. Then I calmed down. "I'm a monster."

Sasuke started to wrap his arms around me as if he's going to give me a hug. It's a sign that he's trying to comfort me of what I have become. Even though I can't feel his body heat, it's good for him. I returned the hug as well.

"No, you're not, Sally," he said in a comforting way. "You're still the same girl I knew years ago. I wasn't expect our reunion to turn up the way it is recently," he then let go of the hug, and so did I. "If you can't eat or drink, then just try to sleep."

However, I still feel depressed.

"Come on, go to sleep," he insisted. "Now go. You... will... go... to... sleep," he started to make sounds and gestures on it. I started to feel amused by it. I laughed at that for a few seconds. I decided to try to sleep anyway.

Sasuke, thank you for sharing this wonderful moment with me. I thought.
