Author's apology: I acknowledge that most of you seem to think that a Truth or Dare segment would be an awesome idea. However, something was pointed out to me, and it made me decide to leave the idea, in its raw form, alone. I apologize to anyone this may bring disappointment to. However, I have another idea that could work just as well! Stay tuned!
Props: Anyway, now that that solemn doody is out of the way… Thanks, this week, goes out to SorryLads, Oceanic Coral, Golden S. Tails, and the one known as "random gal" for their OCs. We have four guests again! Sweet! Thank you all so much!
*Continuation of the previous week*
Elektor took a four-minute chunk out of his night to explain everything that Orbot had said to him… in this pitifully fangirl-like voice.
"Elektor, listen…" Rachel sighed from the other side. "I absolutely love the idea-"
"So you'll do it?" Elektor asked, hyped up on the caffeine that is adrenaline.
"…No," said Rachel.
Elektor's heart dropped.
"See…" Rachel continued. "There's already a show that does that."
"Yeah… I suppose," Elektor sighed. "I see. You don't want to steal their thunder."
"But…" Rachel said.
"But?" Elektor repeated.
"We could still bring the celebrities on the show, alright?" said Rachel. "To ask them for the raw information. We can ask them about the shippings they're shoved into. We could do that… and then, a general Q and A, where fans can ask them the questions! And then… We could let fans meet the celebrities! It'll be a three-tier night of fun! So… There's my pitch. What do you think?"
"I…" Elektor replied. "…think that that's AWESOME! We'd be making so many people's dreams come true!"
"Then it's settled," said Rachel. "Your homework for tonight-"
"But we're not even in school yet, you killjoy!" Elektor whined. "We've still got under a month of summer left!"
"…Elektor…" Rachel sighed. "Ask the fans about it on any social media that we currently have a reputation on."
"By that," Elektor replied. "You mean Fan-"
"NOT THE FOURTH WALL!" Rachel panicked. "Haven't you heard the legends?!"
"Yeah…" sighed Elektor. "…Right away…"
*Present week*
"Hello, all you lovely faces, and welcome to 'Thoughts of the Unknown!'" Rachel beamed as the cameras flicked their lenses open. "Tonight, we're addressing Sonally. Sonic and Sally, the Freedom Fighter and the princess! From what I've seen, they've… actually been an item at at least one point in time, I'm pretty sure. That makes it rather promising. I haven't seen much of Sally, so… I really can't say. Who can say, though, are our awesome guests! Tonight, we've got three returners and one newcomer. Let's get our returning guests out here first. First up is a smile-conjuring teacher who's appeared once before on the show. Please welcome… Poseidon!"
The very same Poseidon from awhile before happily strode to his seat.
"Up next, we've got an absolute flower of a rabbit who's appeared once before on the show as well," Rachel continued. "Please welcome… Daisy!"
The very same Daisy skipped to her seat, absolutely overjoyed to be here.
"Thirdly," said Rachel. "We have our longest-running Thoughts of the Unknown veteran, who's appeared… in every episode but one. Please welcome… Levi Lester!"
The very same Levi Lester walked to his seat, feeling as if this place could be a home.
"And then, there's our newcomer," said Rachel. "She's a sly one, always keeping her head on straight and knowing what to do in a situation. Please give a warm welcome… to Mercury the Hedgehog!"
Said Mercury paced to her seat. The color of her fur was a shaded pink, and her quills ended with sharp mahogany tips. Mahogany eye shadow rested above eyes of military green, and spiked mahogany markings rested below them. She donned a one-strap shirt of black, mahogany, and green, along with a short jean skirt and dark brown boots. Matching wrist bracelets and ankle bracelets gleamed the spotlight back at the audience. Fingerless black gloves rested on her hands… and pretty much all of this was either ripped or torn in some places.
"Welcome, all of you," Rachel smiled as she took her own seat. "Mercury, there is a question I'd like to ask you. Anyone who's ever been a newcomer here knows that it's something I like to ask."
Levi, Daisy, and Poseidon all nodded.
"Very well," said Mercury.
"So…" said Rachel. "Do you have your heart set on any of the famous ones of Mobius?"
"Fur of ebony…" Mercury muttered to herself.
Despite not being able to decipher the mutters, Rachel raised an eyebrow and displayed a smug smirk.
"…N-No!" Mercury snapped. "There's absolutely nobody… N-No one!"
"Very well," Rachel said with a chuckle. "Now, then… Sonic and Sally. Mercury, let's go to you first. Will them together be as beautiful as freshly watered flowers or fly-infested roadkill?"
"That's… an interesting way of putting it," said Mercury. "Well, it obviously works, as they both have great leadership skills, are very selfless, and would basically go by any means to make sure freedom and justice ring around here. The only problem that I see is the fact that Sally's a princess and just doesn't keep up with the blue blur. With Sally's royal-ish nature and Sonic's carefree attitude, it doesn't look to be something that'd work. Face it: Sonic ain't got time to be with princesses. He needs someone who can keep up with how fast he goes… not to mention his love of adventure. Besides, a princess will eventually become a king and when that happens, they're stuck in a castle keeping rule over their kingdom. Would the fastest living thing alive really enjoy that? He's so impatient that he can't stay in one place for long. He wants to keep moving and exploring! Here's another question, too: Does Sonic really want to be in a relationship?"
A random soul from the audience shouted "It appears so."
"Hear me out, buddy!" Mercury snapped.
Everyone in the audience made it a goal to keep quiet.
"Anyway," she continued. "Sonic loves to make friends. Wouldn't a relationship slow him down tremendously? So yeah… They're great friends and teammates, but looking at it Mobian-wise, the royal status soils Sonally. Nuff said."
Nuff said indeed.
"Too busy for love," Rachel sighed. "For some… it's very true. Alright, Poseidon, let's hear you out next."
"I think that it could work," Poseidon replied. "Sally gives Sonic space, unlike…"
He coughed once. He then muttered the name of a certain hyperactive fangirl. He then coughed two more times.
"Most people think that Sally's the bad person," he went on. "But that's just a twisted perception crafted by those who back Sonamy."
"Twisted perception… interesting," said Rachel. "Daisy, how about you?"
"As far as what I've seen between them, it has its ups and downs," said Daisy. "Their roles are why it could work. Their duties are why it could not work. Sally rules the kingdom, and Sonic doesn't want to be tied down to a relationship. A medium ground would save it. I, though, don't have much hope for it. That's just me, of course."
"I see a pattern here," Rachel nodded. "And Levi. Let's take a look at what you think."
"Wait…" said Levi. "Aren't they already an item?"
A soul or two from the audience chuckled.
"I can't remember where they presently stand," Levi admitted. "I haven't heard much at all in a while. Well, if so, one could relate its working to a well-oiled machine. There are a few bumps here and there, but what solid relationship doesn't see that?"
"Right," Rachel nodded. "You don't see light if there's no darkness for it to brighten."
She stood.
"Well, that's it for this episode!" she announced. "Join us next time… when we discuss one of the most hilarious shippings I've personally ever seen: Sonadow! The carefree wind and the relentless anti-hero. See you then!"
Question for the reader: Don't consider it an idea shot down… but an idea changed. How would you all feel if we had the celebrities of Mobius give their opinions on the shippings they're shoved into, answer fan questions, or/and meet fans? Should it all happen? Should only some of it happen? Should none of it happen?
