Welcome readers! This is writer228, writing the 50th episode of Sonic/Serin 5'8" (yes, that's the actual title, but the fanfiction.net people are being @$&%@$ about it, so I changed it to something that sounds better.) a.k.a. Battleground Earth. Anyway, I decided to do something special this time; an interview of all the current characters! So, first off, Sonic, a.k.a. Serin. How's the story so far? "Not bad, actually. The only parts I'm having problems with are the parts where I'm away from home, kicked in the face by a wannabe fan of mine, and gotten my legs broken. Other than that, I'm cool!" I can understand why you don't like those parts, but are there any parts of the entire story you actually like instead of dislike? "Yeah. Cody, Carl, Tails, Sally, Knuckles, and Mrs. Anderson's breakfasts." Right. Next up! Sally, how do you feel about the entire story so far? "Naturally, I'm good about it. However, I was really scared when I was with Shaun. There were times when I felt like he was going to, um...you know when I was sleeping or something, but he was overall really nice and open-minded while I was there. I completely don't like his sudden change to evilness, though, and am happy he's coming back to our side." Awesome! A fan within a fanfic! (Sally looks at the author with an annoyed look.) Sorry. "Forgiven." Now to Tails! How's the story for you, little guy? "May I ask you to refrain from the 'little guy' comment?" Only you could say it like that, but sure. Anyway, how's the story? "Not too bad, actually. I really like how I'm actually an active part of the story, where, in some stories, I'm hardly in there or a completely different story altogether. Other than that, I really like playing with Cody and working on the Tornado Mach II with him. He's an active learner and about my own age, too!" Okay, okay! Just don't go flying out of your seat! Now to Knuckles! Any comments? "Sure. The story, in a generic term, is well rounded with characters and peppered with the constant excitement and the common cliffhanger that seems to become your trademark." Sorry about that. Habit, I guess. "Stop blushing! It's why I'm still interested in the story in the first place! Also, I like the mystery you have me currently in with the Darklight and Starlight, who are, in my opinion, quite obvious in identity." My little sister didn't get it. "Than she's stupid." No dissin' the sis! As a punishment, I'm off to Amy. So, Miss Rose, what was your favorite part of the story? "My favorite part was when I got to hold Sonic's hand! It was so romantic!" (Sonic interrupted from across the room.) "That was a life-and-death situation, Amy! One I was hoping to avoid in conversation!" "Oh, Sonic! Stop being mean!" (Then she turned back to me.) "I heard that sometimes people are mean to you if they care about you. Maybe that's what Sonic's doing..." (Back to Sonic from across the room.) "I'm only mean because I fear for my life! I wouldn't even marry you if you were the last girl on Earth OR Mobius!" "Then who would you marry?" "A tree!" Anyway, as Sonic continues to pout and Amy runs off to the bathroom crying, I'll talk to Cody. So, Cody, how do you like the story so far? "It's so awesome to actually meet my favorite heroes and friends and actually see them fighting and running" Cody "and kicking Robotnik's butt and destroying robots and power plants" Cody! "and becoming spike balls and life-savers and heroes and—" CODY! "What?" Thank you for that wonderful explanation. Mrs. Anderson, do you have anything to add? "Mainly the fact that I'm a little nervous about being the central family in the middle of an action story. However, the overall concept is pretty amazing!" Woman of few words, and so easy to spell! Sorry; author slip there. Speaking of Robotnik, (by the way, Carl gave me a cute little smile and waved, which I returned) why don't we ask him how he likes the story? "I don't win often enough! Actually, I would prefer it if my robot didn't miss and that little—" You know, that's great, but we have other people to interview. Such as Mr. Snively! How are you doing? "Just fine being ignored." ... Okay then... On to Shau— "Shadow." Shadow, then. How do you like the story? "Well, actually going mad for the first time in my life was interesting, but I really do feel torn between the sides. Am I a good guy? Or a bad guy? I'm not really sure where I belong, either." Trust me, it'll all work out. Now, to the last character! Rouge, how do you like your sudden appearance? "Well, I'd like a few more gems, if you know what I mean!" (She giggled.) "Oh, and, by the way, are you going to add any of, well, those scenes we talked about?" Yeah, yeah. A promise is a promise. (Wink.) "Thank you." (A wink back.) (Unfortuneately...) "Hey, I read that." Sorry! Anyway, just as a treat, I'm going to add a little blurb from our favorite kindergarten teacher, Ms. Rayne! What do you like about the story so far? "Frankly, it's nice, but I'd rather get back to my class!" 'Nuff said! And now, on to #51!
